143: Chapter 143 Or... shall we also go up the tower and block the evacuation point?

The muzzle was pressed right against the opponent's forehead!

Chu Hong kicked the captain of the squad in front of him down fiercely, his expression as vulgar and crude as a highway bandit tyrant.

"You! I'm talking to you! Did you hide loot?!"

"I saw with my own eyes you leading your team into the core area of Parino Valley Base, and you're telling me you only have these measly blues and purples? Who are you trying to fool!"

"Slap!"

The squad captain who was being beaten wore a look of pain, but even more so, anger.

"You beast! You don't go loot yourselves, but instead you camp and intercept us at the extraction point! I've remembered your face, let me tell you, I will definitely report you to the Examination and Inspection Department!"

"Slap!"

A heavy slap landed across that person's face, the loud sound causing the corners of Huang Yuling's squad's eyes to twitch fiercely.

Song Jiaojiao turned her head slightly, her earlobes flushing red.

Meanwhile, Wang Suming stood beside Chu Hong, staring at the row of bruised and battered examination Pioneers squatting before them, one by one pulling out collected items from their backpacks amidst those people's murderous gazes.

Then, he loaded them into his profiteering goblins cargo box.

In this match.

Chu Hong and the others spawned near the Ancient Tree Altar spawn point, while Huang Yuling and her group spawned near the Vine Plank Road.

The squad at the South Bank Mudflat had been blitzed by Chu Hong and his group just over a minute into the start and sent back to the examination hall.

In other words, the people squatting in front of them right now, having their supplies shamefully confiscated, were all squads that had spawned on the western shore of the map.

Ding!

Amidst a flash of golden light, Wang Suming suddenly pulled a two-by-two four-slot big gold item out of a backpack.

[Item Name]: Mutated Ape Skull

[Item Grade]: Gold

[Value]: 221,000

[Type]: Source Energy Substance

[Weight]: 2kg

[Backpack Slot Capacity Occupied]: 2 × 2

[Item Description]: Due to the energy field factor, this unweathered ape skull features purple energy veins on its cranium that indicate it is approaching complete energization. Perhaps in another thousand years, it will transform into a pure energy mineral stone.

"Whose backpack is this?" Wang Suming asked doubtfully, sweeping his gaze across the crowd and seeing everyone exchanging blank looks.

"That person probably already went back to the examination hall..."

Hearing this reply, Wang Suming nodded and let out a pitying click of his tongue.

"How pitiful, getting a great drop but unable to take it out..."

Everyone: "..."

Why couldn't they take it out!?

If you have the guts, say it, why couldn't they take it out?!

How on earth did these guys come up with such a beastly playstyle?!

They don't loot, and they don't look for high-value resource points.

They just came straight to the top of this tower to set up snipers?!

The squad captain who had been given a heavy slap by Chu Hong still wore a look of disdain and anger, his eyes wide with rage, but this attitude actually confirmed his loot-hiding behavior.

Chu Hong sneered coldly.

"Not going to confess, eh? I have plenty of ways to make you talk... You probably don't know this, do you? This teammate of mine has mastered quite a bit of magic, and one of her moves can make the monsters in the secret realm do things that must be censored."

Song Jiaojiao's body trembled, and pairs of shocked and weird gazes around her instantly converged onto her.

Even her good best friend Huang Yuling stared at her blankly at this moment, drawing in a sharp breath.

"Jiaojiao, you..."

Huang Yuling was dumbfounded!

Although the two of them weren't from the same base city, they frequently called and chatted with each other.

But how come she knew absolutely nothing about this kind of thing?

Over on Song Jiaojiao's side, she stammered, so ashamed and indignant that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to drill into on the spot, but Chu Hong had already waved his hand, calling over Wang Suming, who was still organizing backpacks nearby.

"Fatty, stop organizing the bags for a moment! Go catch a monkey over here! Not a female one, I want a male one!"

Everyone: "!!!"

What a beast!

The squad captain who had been heavily beaten by Chu Hong turned a few shades paler at this moment, but still forced himself to hold on.

Laughing out of extreme anger, he said, "If you have the guts, kill me. At worst, you take one of my three lives! You want to trick me with such despicable means? In your dreams! Bah!"

Seeing that Wang Suming—a guy who would execute any order as long as Chu Hong dared to give it—actually stopped what he was doing in his hands.

He picked up his great shield and grappler gun, walking toward the Waterfall Cave in front of him.

Song Jiaojiao hurriedly stepped forward.

She walked up in front of that captain, her face flushing red as she spoke in a soft voice.

"Um, you... you'd better hurry up and hand over the hidden backpack... That kind of thing is hard to control."

The captain was dumbfounded: "..."

He blankly looked at Song Jiaojiao in front of him, whose face was flushed red, whose eyes didn't even dare to meet his, and whose small hands tightly clutched her magic wand in embarrassment.

If the other party had been like Chu Hong, coming straight at him with force threats and verbal intimidation.

He truly wouldn't have feared it at all.

But right now...

However red Song Jiaojiao's face was, that was how pale his complexion was.

"You... do you really know... th-that kind of magic?!"

He couldn't believe how such a pretty, coldly elegant, and cute girl before his eyes could go and learn that kind of unspeakable magic. No normal person could make sense of it!

Song Jiaojiao's pretty face had already flushed red to the tips of her ears, but she still gently nodded her head.

This time, it was finally the captain's turn to panic.

"Wait! Wait! I—I'll talk! I'll tell you where I hid the backpack! I'll talk!"

Chu Hong curled his lips in disdain.

"Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit..."

Soon, following the location given by the other party, Wang Suming...

found a concealed backpack from among a pile of rocks.

"Is there any more? Let me tell you, we're all men, so let's be straightforward. If you honestly confess, you'll lose one less life, don't you think? Just treat this time as buying a lesson..."

"Big Bro! There really isn't anymore! No one from our whole squad has evacuated yet, and we didn't go into the main building either, we didn't dare to go in, we... Big Bro, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you just now, I was wrong."

Watching this guy cry with snot and tears streaming down, Chu Hong nodded.

There really shouldn't be any more.

"Bang!"

After a gunshot rang out, Chu Hong curled his lips in disdain, looking at the dazed gazes of the people before him.

"The thing I hate most is... apologizing afterward!"

Huang Yuling's squad members were all dumbfounded. Could this person actually be shameless to this extent?!

He... could he be someone from the Black Hole Council?!

The subsequent matters were much more relaxed.

After no one else stood out as the vanguard bird, Wang Suming quickly finished organizing the backpacks over on his side.

Chu Hong and Song Jiaojiao each took a backpack.

At first, Song Jiaojiao didn't want to take one. Under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, especially with her good best friend right beside her, she felt that if she took this backpack of collected items looted by others, she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

But a single sentence from Wang Suming forced her to reach out and take it.

"If you don't take it, how can I take it? If I don't take it, how can the captain take it?"

"..."

"Alright, consider the rest of these as your travel expenses, go evacuate! Remember to loot some good stuff next time. Look at what all these are? There's really no need to pick up green and blue quality items, right?"

Chu Hong waved his hand to chase them away.

Watching the figures of this group disappear within the range of the extraction point.

He then pointed again at the pile of miscellaneous equipment and weapons stacked together on the ground.

"Um... Jiaojiao's friend, these can be considered my apology gifts to you. Don't stand on ceremony, take them all. Please help me say sorry to your yellow-haired teammate, this time it really was a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple!"

Huang Yuling: "..."

Huang Yuling and her group didn't remember how they evacuated. When white light flashed before their eyes and they returned to their floor in the Black Iron Castle.

The yellow-haired guy who had been headshot by Chu Hong was already waiting here early on.

"Holy shit! Captain, you guys are out! What was the situation just now, was some bastard firing sneak shots? Did you guys kill him?"

"Ah ya! One of my lives! This is only the first match, there are still seven days left for the examination!"

The yellow-haired guy wore a look of pain and resentment.

Huang Yuling waved her hand somewhat powerlessly, not wanting to say anything at all.

Fortunately, there were other team members present right now, and everyone chimed in to recount what had happened in the secret realm. When the yellow-haired guy heard that Chu Hong and his group were actually camping the extraction point.

And furthermore... a single squad had robbed teams from across the entire map.

He couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.

And when he saw that Huang Yuling and the others had brought out his equipment and weapons, and even brought back quite a few "apology" collectibles and spoils of war.

The yellow-haired guy's eyes instantly turned red.

Looking at his captain Huang Yuling, who was still standing there in a daze.

"Cap, Captain... How about, we also go up the tower to camp the extraction point?"
