Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Outside the prison, Prisoner Snake quickly noticed Fang Heng and the others walking out of Building No. 3. He raised his hand, signalling his subordinates to temporarily stop attacking the barbed wire fence on the outer layer of the prison. “Are you the leader here? Come out and speak!” Fang Heng didn’t get too close. He stood more than 30 meters away from everyone, coldly staring at the nine players standing outside the barbed wire fence. “That’s me.” Prisoner Snake was sizing up this handsome young man in front of him. His mood turned foul. He hated this kind of person who looked better than him the most! “Oh? You’re quite brave, aren’t you?” “Quite brave? What do you mean?” Prisoner Snake revealed a disdainful expression. He revealed a fierce expression as he stared at Fang Heng. “I say, you have guts. You dare to occupy our territory!” “We finally cleared out this prison area and now you’re taking over this place? What kind of logic is that?” “Do you think we’re easy to bully?” The players behind Prisoner Snake also started to jeer. “Yeah! Hurry up! Hand over this place, leave all the food and materials behind, and we’ll let you live!” “Hurry up and get lost!” “Get lost! Get lost! Get lost!” Fang Heng looked at them coldly. He was too lazy to waste his breath. These people were here to cause trouble. Liao Bufan couldn’t take it anymore. He had never seen such a shameless person. He was so angry that he started cursing. “Bullsh*t! We were here first and we were the ones who cleaned up the zombies here!” “Hahaha! You think you can do that?” Prisoner Snake didn’t believe Liao Bufan at all. He thought that there must have been an accident in the game that caused the zombies to leave. These people took advantage of them. Prisoner Snake and his companions laughed. “Cut the crap. You’re not going to get lost, are you? Then smash it! When I catch you, I won’t be so easy on you!” Seeing that the negotiation was ineffective, Prisoner Snake waved his hand to initiate the attack. The players behind him swarmed forward and smashed the barbed wire with their small stone hammers. The durability of the barbed wire began to slowly decrease. If they were going to attack in this manner, it would take less than an hour to break a small hole in the barbed wire. Prisoner Snake crossed his arms and looked at Fang Heng behind the barbed wire with great interest as if victory was within his grasp. He really could not think of any way for Fang Heng and the others to resist, nor did he notice Fang Heng’s calm expression. Not far away, Lu Yu and Zhou Yi, who were secretly observing all this, became anxious when they saw Prisoner Snake and the others attacking the prison’s barbed wire. “The God is in trouble. Should we go up and help?” “Of course, we have to help. The God has treated us quite well. We can’t just stand by and watch.” Zhou Yi was anxious. He stared at the intruders near the barbed wire fence and thought of a countermeasure. “Oh right, we still have the earth-made bombs from before, right? When this group of people are closer to one another, we can throw two bombs at them later. We will give them a good time!” “Good idea!” Lu Yu agreed. “When they are in a state of confusion, I will sneak attack on two of them and you will hold on to one.” “That’s right. When the time comes, we can work together with the God and the others to get rid of this group of people.” In a short while, Zhou Yi and Lu Yu had already planned out a simple and effective strategy to defeat the enemy. The two of them had been tense all this time started to relax a little. Lu Yu teased, “As expected of our ‘Crouching Dragon’. To be able to come up with such a thorough plan in just a few seconds, it’s admirable.” Zhou Yi smiled smugly, waved his hand and said humbly. “You must be joking, ‘Young Phoenix’. In this world, there are only a handful of people who can follow my train of thought. You are one of them.” Lu Yu said, “I’ll contact God and have them prepare to cooperate with us from inside and outside.” “Don’t rush, hold on!” Zhou Yi hurriedly stopped Lu Yu. “The God hasn’t asked us for help yet. How can ‘adding icing to the cake’ be better than ‘sending charcoal in the snow’?” “Let’s wait a little longer. When the God can’t hold on any longer, we’ll appear as his Savior and increase our favorability rating with the God.” Lu Yu’s eyes lit up. “That makes sense! Boss is a genius!” “Hehe, you too…” “Bang!” A gunshot rang out. Both Zhou Yi and Lu Yu, who were in the middle of their discussion, were shocked. They turned their heads to look in the direction of the prison square. “Bang! Bang! Bang!!!” Gunshots rang out in the prison square! What’s going on?! They were shocked to find that the arrogant Prisoner Snake and his gang had actually fled in all directions in an instant. Among this group of people, Prisoner Snake was the fastest to flee! Crazy! Prisoner Snake was going crazy now! The enemy actually had a gun! There was more than one gun!! There were also mercenaries! There was more than one mercenary! Moreover, they were at least Level 3 mercenaries! Ordinary players were at low levels and lacked gun mastery skills. The accuracy of their pistols was poor and the damage from a long-distance shot might not be fatal. However, mercenaries were different! Prisoner Snake could now confirm that the enemy’s mercenary level was definitely not low! At least Level 3! From such a long distance, with just two rounds of shooting, they had already killed one player and three players were slightly injured. All the players under Prisoner Snake made the same move when they saw their teammates fall. Turn around. Run!! Prisoner Snake was now seriously regretting his actions. If he had known that the players in this prison had such strong equipment, he would not have come to this prison even if he was beaten to death! He had a premonition that after this attack, his subordinates would suffer heavy casualties! What was more important was his prestige! After this, the prestige that he had painstakingly built up in the team would drop to the bottom. But now, he had no time to think about this! Escaping was the most important thing! The moment he saw Fang Heng draw his gun, he knew that he was in trouble. He immediately turned around and ran. He was the fastest to escape, but Fang Heng had already aimed at him. Fang Heng’s perceptive ability added an additional hit rate for him. In addition, Fang Heng also had Level 1 gun mastery, which added an additional hit rate. Fang Heng only fired one shot. This bullet accurately hit the left shoulder of Prisoner Snake! “Unfortunately, it missed a little.” Prisoner Snake ignored the intense pain in his left shoulder and ran desperately. Prisoner Snake and his group, who had been aggressive just a moment ago, fled in all directions in a fluster. In an instant, they had all fled without a trace. In less than two minutes, the prison and its surroundings returned to a calm and peaceful state. In the bushes, Lu Yu retracted his gaze. He looked at Zhou Yi beside him with a complicated expression. He wanted to ask this question now. “Mr Crouching Dragon, where’s the ‘coal in the snow’? Did you manage to foresee all this?” Zhou Yi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn’t. His face was full of bitterness. Regret! And he said he would deliver coal in the snow? Bullsh*t! Now there wasn’t even any icing on the cake! Seeing the twisted expression on Zhou Yi’s face, Lu Yu felt it was better not to provoke him. After all, Zhou Yi’s mental state had not been very good these two days. He patted Zhou Yi’s shoulder to comfort him. “Don’t take it to heart. After all, there are not many gods like Fang Heng. He is the first to complete the construction of a super-large shelter. He must have some talent.” “Recruiting mercenaries…” Lu Yu sighed in his heart. “Sigh! Recruiting mercenaries is something only he can do, right?” “We’re mortals after all. We can’t have predicted this.” “Moreover, Fang Heng is our partner. He’s our teammate. We should be happy that he’s strong.” Zhou Yi listened to the persuasion and didn’t feel much better. He just nodded bitterly. This was the truth but he just couldn’t be happy. Lu Yu was helpless. “Let’s go. Cheer up.. Let’s go find the God to receive the mission reward.”
