“You mean none of you have any opinions at all…”
“Have you said enough?”
Jian Shi suddenly interrupted him.
Among all the players, if it came down to raw strength, Jian Shi was undoubtedly number one. The others were all somewhat wary of him and certainly wouldn’t rush to oppose him.
Jian Shi had always been annoyed by people who only cared about their own interests at critical moments. He snorted and sided with An Suisui.
“There’s no such thing as fairness in equipment distribution. What’s there to argue about? If you’re not satisfied, just grab more next round.”
Assuming, of course, you can out-grab An Suisui.
After distancing herself from the other players, An Suisui began sorting all the equipment.
She checked each item’s attributes, picked out special items and what she needed, and then divided the rest into several piles.
“Jian Shi, come here a sec!”
An Suisui poked her little head out from behind a dirt mound and waved at Jian Shi.
Jian Shi didn’t think much of it and went over alone.
“Here, this is for you. If there’s anything else you need, just say so. If I have it, I’ll get it to you first.”
He was the vanguard, after all—both tank and mage. Not easy.
Jian Shi looked a bit surprised. “For me?”
He hadn’t minded that An Suisui had grabbed most of the equipment, but he really hadn’t expected her to give him a share.
Other players treated these things as lifelines, clutching them tightly even if they couldn’t use them. An Suisui’s generosity was unexpected.
He glanced over the items she’d picked out for him—they were all things he could use.
He’d never told An Suisui about his stats, but after two rounds, she’d guessed them almost perfectly.
Jian Shi’s gaze deepened. This girl was really something.
An Suisui didn’t notice his expression; her mind was still racing as she picked out another small pile from the equipment.
Duan Qingyang sat alone in a corner, looking dejected and numb.
Maybe he’d been too greedy—he hadn’t grabbed much this round, and what he’d gotten last round was almost used up.
The battles with the monsters seemed simple, but were actually full of hidden dangers. Until the very end, no one knew if something unexpected would happen.
Without the right equipment, he might die this round and not make it to the next.
A small hand patted his shoulder. Duan Qingyang looked up—it was An Suisui.
He quickly adjusted his expression, not wanting anyone to see his vulnerability.
Before he could say anything, a dozen pieces of equipment were placed in his hands.
Some were exactly what he’d been eyeing before, perfectly suited to him.
An Suisui, clutching the apron on her nightdress, nodded at him with feigned indifference. “If you need anything else, let me know. I’ll consider it.”
Then, with one hand behind her back, she walked off with her head held high.
Halfway there, she lost her grip on the apron and dropped some equipment.
Her boss-like image instantly crumbled as she scrambled to pick everything up, trying to act like nothing had happened.
Like a little kid trying to act grown-up in front of adults.
Duan Qingyang couldn’t help but laugh, then quickly buried his face in his hands again.
He hadn’t expected to meet such a reliable teammate this time.
At that moment, Duan Qingyang finally let down all his defenses and threw himself wholeheartedly into the next battle.
As the rear logistics support, An Suisui didn’t always have monsters to fight.
When she had free time, she’d observe the battles and quickly figure out each player’s basic stats and strengths.
She’d pick out the equipment she thought suited them best and deliver it to each player.
Except for the one who’d criticized her.
After making the rounds, An Suisui’s big bag of equipment was almost empty.
She looked at her now-unneeded apron with some regret, but was glad she’d already kept what she needed.
Giving out the rest let the equipment be used to its fullest—this was a team game, and winning in the end was what mattered most.
After a short break, the third wave of monsters arrived.
The players nervously gathered at the spawn point, swallowing hard.
When the spawn point lit up, slender snakes slithered out.
An Suisui jumped in fright, her hands trembling.
Most girls have a certain aversion to cold, slippery things—An Suisui was a bit afraid of snakes.
She took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and imagined the colorful snakes as twisted ropes, which helped ease her nerves.
She gripped a sharp long knife, with a freeze gun and poison stinger tied to her waist with bark.
Besides her speed-boosting shoes, she’d also added two pieces of gear: a protective vest and fatigue-relieving knee pads—both very useful.
The snakes came in all colors and were likely poisonous.
Snakes are aggressive creatures, and these were especially troublesome. Even if you cut them in half, the head could still attack for up to two hours.
Players had to watch out for both live and dead snakes, making things even trickier.
Yu Cang was the only other player besides An Suisui who’d played “Defend the Carrot.”
He’d relied on his experience to get through the first two rounds, tough but unscathed.
But his luck seemed to have run out—he found himself especially attractive to the snake monsters, both alive and dead.
Within ten minutes of the fight, he’d already collected dozens of snake heads. If not for his good protection, he’d have been down already.
But not everyone was so lucky. Someone got bitten by a dead snake head, foamed at the mouth, and collapsed.
His body convulsed as he tried to crawl away from the battlefield.
No one had time to help—everyone was busy.
The snakes were fast and agile, much harder than the previous monsters.
Worse, the ants and pangolins from earlier rounds had left countless tunnels in the ground, and some monsters now used them to go underground, making their movements unpredictable.
An Suisui was forced to switch from the front lines back to logistics.
With nothing better, she’d been plugging holes with rocks and dirt.
In the last wave, only the lead pangolin could dig, so once it was dealt with and the hole blocked, the hedgehogs couldn’t get through.
But in the rush, the holes were sealed roughly, giving the snake monsters an opening.
They pushed the rocks out and slithered up from the underground tunnels.
