To grab the weapon, her arm got cut by another person’s blade, blood soaking her sleeve and dripping down her wrist.
【Unlock Progress: 35.】
Too slow.
With this rate of increase...
Sweat dripped from her chin as Ye Nianchu tightened her grip on the long knife, trying to push back the person in front of her.
There were more than twenty opponents; those who had survived this long in the game were top players, including three S-class players among them.
The leader, Wu Long, was one of them.
He used ordinary players to remove the biggest threats, which was clever.
What should have been a safe shelter was now filled with bright red blood, and the strong smell of rust filled the air.
The smell of blood attracted many face spiders and strange insects around the cabin. Without this shelter, everyone here could die.
That’s why Qin Mubai asked if Ye Nianchu trusted him.
The plan itself was risky; if he had any selfish motives, she wouldn’t escape.
With so many people, including Ye Nianchu, only he was likely to break through the face spiders and survive.
Qin Mubai held the stolen long knife, surrounded by several bodies, his beautiful fingers stained with blood, the bright color contrasting with his pale skin.
He looked like a demon from hell, with a stunning face, his eyes cold and emotionless.
His gaze fell on Wu Long, who was giving orders from the back.
He wanted the best players to hold off Wu Long while others attacked Ye Nianchu, who was almost out of energy.
Qin Mubai swung his knife; the sound of metal clashing was loud, forcing the two in front to step back in shock.
How could he stay strong against so many while killing several skilled opponents?
Qin Mubai pulled out a bloody dagger and threw it at Wu Long, aiming for his face.
He was so fast that there was no time to react. Plus, with so many blocking the entrance, even if Wu Long tried to dodge, he still got hit by the dagger.
If someone pulled the knife out now, Wu Long would bleed out and die.
With their leader hurt, the others rushed to protect him, which reduced the pressure on Ye Nianchu.
Leaning against the wall, she gasped for breath, her hand holding the knife trembling from exhaustion.
In over an hour, she didn’t care how much her score increased, but her unlock progress went up a little.
The system’s exploration unlock rate was indeed a big problem; even with her effort, it only went up this much.
The night was getting lighter, and a hazy glow appeared on the horizon.
Daylight was coming.
“They can’t hold on much longer; we can’t give them a break! Kill them, and the shelter and points will be yours!” Wu Long shouted as he was helped back.
Seeing someone suddenly appear behind Wu Long, Ye Nianchu's expression darkened.
In the end, He Miao managed to take 20 points.
The one really using players to remove threats wasn’t Wu Long, but He Miao, who was hidden deeper in their team.
A skilled man and a girl with no ambition, just wanting to finish the game—who would others trust more? The answer was clear.
Qin Mubai took out some dried wood; they didn’t have time to prepare much, but the pile on the ground was almost enough.
