Chapter 1492: Burn the Damn Couple

At this distance, even if they were knocked down, it would be difficult to finish them off.
The gunfire stopped in the distance and the circle reduced again. There were only eight people left in the game now.
Excluding the three on Lu Li’s team and the team of four in the other side, there had to be one more solo player as well.
“If we finish off the team of four, then victory will be almost guaranteed.”
Lu Li wasn’t arrogant, but he simply didn’t think the solo player would be too much of a threat.
“There is no cover around the corpse so I can’t search him. Let’s loop around the right side of the circle,” Innocent Child suggested.
Water Fairy and Lu Li agreed.
Although they had lost Unforgettable Maple, they were still able to close out the game and secure the victory.
“I have not-so good news,” Unforgettable Maple said in a strange tone.
“What? We’ve already won. What would the bad news be?”
“Elevenless and his team haven’t requeued since being eliminated. They’re still waiting for us. Not just Elevenless, but quite a few number of people heard that we were playing and are waiting for us to finish to queue up together,” Unforgettable Maple explained.
Survival and Escape was a game where you queued-up and faced-off against random players. However, it was still possible to play with friends if you exceed the four-player limit.
One way was the create a private room and set a password, which was what they did in competitive games.
The other way was to queue up in the same game mode at the same time, which greatly increased the chances of being matched up together.
“What do they want?” Lu Li asked.
Were these people really this bored? Although he knew something like this would eventually happen, he didn’t think it would turn out like this.
He agreed to play games with Innocent Child. Since they didn’t bother hiding this, many people heard about him playing games with Lu Li. The fact that the two best players from opposing guilds were getting along so well was quite sketchy.
Especially because of the recent news about Innocent Child falling out with God of War, many people began speculating and spreading rumors.
Lu Li couldn’t care anymore and decided to just let it happen.
“Let them come.”
Water Fairy was now very confident. When she used to bump into players, she knew she would almost always lose. However, with Lu Li by her side now, she had nothing to worry about.
The four of them queued together and it took around a minute to find a game.
When they entered the game, there was a lot of background noise because everyone had turned on their microphone to trash talk.
“Aim Lu Li! Kill the damn couple!”
“If you knock down Lu Li that’s $1000! Finishing him off is another $1000! Screenshot for evidence.”
“Water Fairy is wearing a white skirt – she’s mine!”
“Lu Li is wearing a sleeveless grey top and dark-colored jeans. Everyone got that?”
“Maple is wearing a black jacket and black skirt!”
“Innocent Child is wearing a black jumper and a very obvious mask. He’s the easiest to recognize.”
Unforgettable Maple looked up these players and found that a lot of them were professional players from Dawn. Some even invited their friends who were professional Survival and Escape players to help kill Lu Li. Even though Survival and Escape and Dawn were completely different games, when they heard about the top player in Dawn trying their game, their curiosity was peaked.
When they heard that he was dating the richest, most beautiful and fair-skinned female gamer in the community, they were even more furious.
Killing Lu Li became their goal and this match turned into a Lu Li assassination round.
“We should take off our clothes. Otherwise, we’ll get ganged up on,” Maple said with a pale face.
“We’ll take them off after we get into the game. Otherwise, people will just aim the players that aren’t wearing any clothes,” Lu Li said, beginning to feel nervous as well.
They entered the game and the flight path was ideal for an airport drop.
A lot of people liked to drop at the airport because of the loot and the number of players that you could potentially kill. Lu Li would often drop airport in order to improve his game skills.
“Drop!”
The four of them exited the plane and began diving downwards, waiting for the perfect time to release their parachutes.
“Holy crap, there are so many people!” Maple cried out in shock.
Lu Li looked around and almost wanted to cry. They were completely surrounded. In the previous match, there were five teams that dropped here, which was the most Lu Li had ever seen. However, this time had even more than the last.
“Turn off your livestream first,” Lu Li said.
They turned off their livestreams because it was extremely easy to stream-snipe people.
Although they would not lose out on money if they lost the match, they would lose face if they were destroyed by other teams.
The fans began complaining and threatened to unsubscribe. However, they didn’t care about what the fans said because they did not make a living off streaming.
“How are we supposed to do this? Last time we made it out of the airport alive because there were no formidable players. All these people are probably going to aim us. Perhaps it would be better if we dropped somewhere more remote,” Lu Li said.
“Let’s take off our clothes and go somewhere else,” Maple said, taking off his pants. The others quickly followed suit.
“Where do we go?” Water Fairy asked.
“Let’s find a vehicle along the road and drive as far away as possible,” Lu Li decided.
“There’s a three-man motorcycle here,” Innocent Child called out.
“You two take the motorcycle; Water Fairy and I will take the car,” Lu Li said, seeing another car. He had actually memorized all the car spawn places in his mind.
