Xiao Xun could only see what his teammates had swapped out that he could use. After exchanging a rifle for a sniper rifle, he saw the remaining three people were all lying in the grass.
Xiao Xun learned from their example, crawled down, and asked, "What are we doing here?"
Number Two said into the microphone, "We're guarding the airdrop, seeing if any unlucky souls come by to ambush them."
Xiao Xun thought, if a car rushed over here, wouldn't it just run one of them over?
After crawling for a long time, the toxic zone had already arrived, but not a single person had appeared.
There were no cars around either, so the four of them could only stand up, put away their guns, and run.
But how could people outrun the toxic zone? Soon all four were losing health. Since this was the final toxic zone, its power was immense. The four of them, taking medicine while running, finally managed to get inside the zone with only a sliver of health left, but their medicine was almost depleted.
At this moment, Number Three, due to insufficient medicine, couldn't escape the zone and collapsed on the ground.
"Save me..."
As expected, she was a cute girl. In normal gameplay, no matter how One and Two teased her, she wouldn't say a word, but now she had said this.
Without looking back, the two of them dove back into the toxic zone, leaving only Xiao Xun's Number Four to find a house at the edge of the zone. He searched it and found a first-aid kit, which replenished his health.
But after the two of them helped Number Three up, they gave all their medicine to Number Three.
Number Three, with the last bit of medicine, managed to run inside, and the toxic zone began to shrink again.
Xiao Xun found a motorcycle. It was difficult to control, but it was faster than a car. After picking up Number Three, he quickly drove towards the final zone.
The surrounding gunshots were completely ignored.
Number One and Two shouted, "Three, Four, you have to win the chicken dinner! Especially you, Three, your brothers are trading two lives for yours, you have to give it your all!"
Xiao Xun's motorcycle skidded to a halt beside a house. He and Number Three quickly got off and lay down on the ground.
He heard footsteps upstairs, but they were quickly drowned out by Number Two's voice.
This game was good in every aspect, except that teammates were too annoying. Even after dying, they still yapped, completely ruining the game experience.
He decisively turned off his headset and focused on dealing with the enemies.
At this moment, gunshots came from the second floor, and smoke grenades rose from the small forest opposite. It seemed the people on the second floor had discovered the enemies opposite.
Xiao Xun pulled out a grenade, seized the opportunity, and threw it through the window. The huge shockwave made the entire screen shake.
After seeing the kill feed, he slowly moved his position.
Now there were only six people left on the field, excluding Number Three and himself, leaving four others.
However, judging by the sound of the gunfire, the opponents were not a full squad; it might be two versus two, or an average of four squads.
Regardless, the opponents were not at an advantage in numbers. It all depended on where the final circle landed.
The countdown disappeared bit by bit, and the toxic zone slowly contracted. This was the second time.
After it ended, the final circle was in the house next to him. He and Number Three flipped in through the window and encountered someone head-on.
Xiao Xun raised his gun and shot, and there were still three enemies left.
Number Three directly pulled out a smoke grenade, instantly shrouding the entire house in smoke.
A scene flashed through Xiao Xun's mind. He flipped back out through the window he had just entered. That small area could only accommodate him standing.
Suddenly, a Molotov cocktail ignited within the smoke.
Number Three desperately tried to heal, but the Molotov cocktail drained health faster than the toxic zone. Soon, Number Three collapsed on the ground.
The smoke cleared, and the people on the second floor came down to finish him off, just as the toxic zone contracted.
Xiao Xun stood up and calmly fired three shots, headshotting the last two.
The sky cleared, the toxic zone completely disappeared, and Number One and Number Two returned by plane to the scene.
Xiao Xun directly exited the game and muttered to himself, "This game is fun. You don't have to worry about being kicked out for playing well, and if you don't want to play, you can find a place to hide and maybe even get first place, becoming a chosen chicken dinner winner."
He finished his remaining cola in one gulp, stroked his chin, and said, "It would be great if this game could be perfectly replicated on mobile, one to one."
With that thought, Xiao Xun called Director Liu.
"Hello, this is Liu Yuqing."
Xiao Xun smiled, "Director Liu, it's me, Xiao Xun."
The other party was clearly surprised, "Director Lu, are you allowed to make phone calls from inside? Or is that you...? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to do anything illegal or immoral. There's a game called 'Chicken Dinner,' do some research on it and see if it can be replicated on the 'Cloud Map' system."
"You're truly a good employee of the boss. Even at this point, you're still thinking about the company's interests. You're talking about a game, right? Our company doesn't have a professional game coding team!"
Xiao Xun stood up abruptly, "Then write a report, find headhunters, post job openings, poach talent. I'll talk to the general manager and the president later, you can leave that to me! If this can be accomplished, you'll have a great merit."
"Since Director Lu has spoken, how can I not listen? Alright, I'll look at the materials now. You go ahead and be busy!" He hung up the phone.
Xiao Xun glanced at the time. It was still early for dinner, so he decided to play another match.
This time, he was randomly matched with three teammates. However, these three were all quiet, and the match proceeded without a word from any of them.
The four of them didn't even jump together; they all played their own game.
However, the scene this time was slightly different from the last. Besides the rain, there was also thick fog after the rain.
"Wow! This is too realistic!"
After landing, before he could even pick up any supplies, he heard footsteps.
"Huh? I didn't see anyone jump in the same place as me!"
Xiao Xun lay in the grass. The person actually came towards him with a pistol and started shooting.
Xiao Xun turned on the global microphone and asked curiously, "Brother, how did you see me?"
The person's aim was terrible. He fired several shots, but only the first one hit Xiao Xun.
By this time, Xiao Xun had already stood up and, circling him with his fists, knocked him to the ground and eliminated him.
"This guy looks a bit clueless. Could he be playing this kind of game for the first time?"
At this moment, Number Two said, "The person you killed might be a bot."
Xiao Xun suddenly realized, thinking: No wonder this game started so quickly. So there are only a few real players.
After searching for equipment for a while, he drove a car around the map, avoiding places where he heard gunshots. Gradually, he became familiar with the entire map.
Although Xiao Xun had good marksmanship, he didn't like to go to crowded places to join the fun. He preferred to be a quiet 'lurker' rather than a mere 'prone camper.'
He especially liked to deliver fatal blows to enemies in unexpected places.
Wielding a sniper rifle with an eight-times scope, he could kill from a distance without being seen.
However, he didn't know that this game had a killcam, so enemies could quickly pinpoint his location.
This didn't bother Xiao Xun. As soon as he successfully sniped a target, he would leave a false visual for the opponent and then move to another location to continue ambushing, just like a real sniper.
