Chapter 048 Successfully Collected Points!
Having dealt with the person in charge, Lin Qiye didn't linger for a moment.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing like lightning as he instantly locked onto the four remaining examinees who were still fighting the mechanical guards!
The four men watched in disbelief as their captain was knocked out in a single move, their faces filled with shock.
Of course, the attacks did not stop.
At that very moment, the spider-like mechanical guard, which was already at its last gasp, let out a piercing wail. Its eight long metal legs went limp, and the red light in its single eye on its chest went out completely.
The battle is about to end!
However, before the four examinees could even catch their breath, a whirlwind carrying a strong smell of blood swept towards them!
It's Lin Qiye!
He gave his opponent no chance to catch his breath. During the charge, he swiftly pulled two "Blood Activation No. 5" injections from his waist!
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Without hesitation, he plunged two syringes into his own arms, which were aching from enduring the attack!
The cool medicine was injected, and a powerful warm current instantly dispelled the pain and fatigue in his arms, restoring him to his peak fighting strength!
"Stop...stop him!" one of the candidates shouted in terror.
But before he could finish speaking, Lin Qiye had already charged into the group of four like a tiger among sheep!
Faced with the four people's attack, Lin Qiye resorted to the same old trick!
Trade wounds for wounds!
He completely ignored the whip kick coming from the side, took it with his back, and gathered all his strength into a punch, which he threw at a candidate directly in front of him!
"Bang!"
In his haste, the examinee could only cross his arms to block, but was sent flying backward by Lin Qiye's violent force. His arms were torn apart with pain, and he screamed as he crashed heavily to the ground.
Solve one!
Immediately afterwards, Lin Qiye raised his arms sharply, like two iron rods, and deflected the punches and kicks of the other two men.
At the same time, his right foot, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, collided violently with the supporting foot of one of the examinees!
"Snap!"
Another tooth-crackling sound of bone cracking!
The examinee let out a piercing scream, clutching his twisted and deformed ankle, and collapsed to the ground in agony.
Another one solved!
In the blink of an eye, only two members remained in the four-person team!
They looked at Lin Qiye, who resembled a demon god, with fear in their eyes.
"Attack together!" one of them shouted, his voice trembling with fear.
However, the moment he shouted, the two of them turned around at the same time and ran in opposite directions!
But as soon as they turned around, they were suddenly stunned and subconsciously looked back at each other.
They both saw surprise and... a hint of embarrassment in each other's eyes.
What happened to our agreement to attack together?
But there was no time for them to think anymore. The two turned around again and ran for their lives without looking back!
……
Lin Qiye watched the two figures fleeing in disarray but did not give chase.
He is covered in injuries, and although he is forcibly suppressing them with medicine, his physical strength is greatly depleted, and he is already at his limit.
More importantly, his true goal has always been the same!
He rushed to the completely destroyed spider-like mechanical guard and, with a swift movement, violently tore open its alloy shell.
Beneath the outer shell, a small metal badge, about the size of a palm, shimmering with a faint blue light, lay quietly amidst the intricate wiring.
Lin Qiye grabbed it in his hand, and a cold sensation came through.
[Ding! 'Points Badge' detected. Pick it up?]
A notification immediately popped up on my personal terminal.
"Pick it up!"
[Successfully retrieved. Current points: 10.]
Become!
Lin Qiye's tense nerves finally relaxed, and a huge sense of exhaustion and excruciating pain from all over his body surged up like a tide.
He glanced around; several eliminated candidates lay scattered about, and a faint smell of blood filled the air.
"We must leave here immediately!"
Lin Qiye knew very well that the smell of blood and the loud fighting sounds would soon attract new "sharks".
He endured the pain, made his way around, and immediately dragged his exhausted body into an abandoned residential building next door, his figure quickly disappearing into the shadows.
……
Less than a minute after Lin Qiye's figure completely disappeared into the shadows of the residential building.
The two candidates who had just escaped actually sneaked back with two other companions.
They were the last four remaining members of the hunting party.
The four men split up, using the broken walls and ruins as cover, and cautiously observed the deserted battlefield.
The companion whose ankle was broken by Lin Qiye has been taken away by the rescuers in white.
The mechanical guard with its chest torn open lay there silently like a cold corpse, a testament to the ferocity of the battle that had just taken place.
"Where is he?" one of them asked in a low voice, his eyes full of doubt and wariness.
"He ran away." The first examinee to flee said, still shaken. "That guy... he's a monster! He was definitely a top contender!"
"He took the badge." Another person said bitterly, looking at the hole in the mechanical guard's chest.
They worked hard for half a day, only to have it all benefit someone else.
"What do we do now? Should we continue pursuing them?"
"Chase my ass!"
A silence fell over the room.
The four looked at each other, and in each other's eyes they saw resentment, anger, and... a trace of undisguised fear.
After a long silence, one of them broke the silence, his tone tinged with dejection and caution: "Let's go. We can't stay in this area anymore. If we encounter mechanical guards again, we can't make the first move. We have to wait for others to attack first, and then we'll look for an opportunity."
Although this suggestion is filled with reluctance, it is the safest option at present.
Their once confident hunting team was decimated by a suddenly appearing "monster," and their morale plummeted.
The other three nodded silently, said nothing more, turned around, and left without a sound.
The battlefield fell silent once more.
After a while, a tall and agile figure emerged slowly from the shadows like a ghost.
It was Han Yue.
Her cold gaze swept across the empty battlefield, finally settling on the wrecked mechanical guard.
After confirming that there were no other ambushers, she slowly walked forward, squatted down, and carefully examined the hole in the mechanical guard's chest and the surrounding signs of battle.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, as if she were analyzing something.
A moment later, she stood up, looked around again, a complex look flashing in her eyes, and then turned and left, quickly disappearing into the other side of the ruins.
Not long after Han Yue left, the Chen brothers, Chen Feng and Chen Yun, appeared from another direction.
They looked at the devastated battlefield with equally solemn expressions.
They didn't linger either, and quickly left this place of trouble.
In an instant, the area fell into complete silence, leaving only a scene of devastation, silently recounting the brief but fierce battle that had just taken place.
……
On the rooftop of an abandoned apartment building, Lin Qiye unscrewed the last bottle of nutrient solution and drank it down in one gulp.
The warm liquid slid down his throat, replenishing his nearly depleted energy.
"I never imagined that all the supplies would be used up..."
