Chapter 185: Suspense Upon Suspense

Qi Ji closely followed the progress of the competition.

He hadn’t awakened the 《 PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds 》 Inspiration Crystal.

Tide Escape was a Secret Realm Game created with existing materials, possessing a similarity of seventy to eighty percent.

In addition, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a video game, while the Secret Realm has a stronger sense of realism, so there would definitely be some differences and adjustments in details during the production process.

However.

This is not important.

What’s truly interesting about PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is the “Battle Royale mechanism” itself, so there’s no need to pursue a complete replica; it’s enough to retain the essence of the mechanism’s gameplay.

Based on this.

It’s worth making some innovative attempts.

For example, making breakthroughs in the map scenes of the Escape and Kill mode.

Qi Ji will successively release several classic Chicken Dinner maps at this stage to establish the basic daily gameplay.

In the future, more interesting and creative maps and activity themes will be created based on the characteristics of Miracle City.

For example.

Apocalypse Raging Tide Secret Realm.

The biggest feature is the bio-apocalypse element.

Since that’s the case, why not create some bio-apocalypse-themed escape and kill scenes? In the process of Adventurers killing each other, they also need to face the pursuit and threat of zombies or other biohazard monsters!

Of course, it’s also possible to provide more possibilities in terms of equipment and supplies.

For example, the use of drones and robots, allowing tactics and the game to become richer and more interesting.

Or create some limited-time activity maps, such as a five-hundred-person super-large scene, a zombie battle scene, a mecha battle scene, and so on.

In short.

Under the premise that the traditional gameplay remains unchanged.

If some activities and competitions can be held regularly, it can increase topic popularity and entertainment.

……

At this moment.

Secret Realm Hall.

Elf Squad withdrew from the Secret Realm.

All four members were very unwilling with the result.

Nancy Liya comforted, “Lord Artus, it’s just a match, it’s no big deal, I think this kind of activity is common!”

Artus reflected, “We stayed at the airport for too long, I didn’t expect someone would ambush, this time I didn’t consider it thoroughly… Next time there’s a competition like this, we must show the strength and bearing of the Sacred Tree City Elves!”

Evelyn said, “Hehe, although we were eliminated, it feels so interesting!”

Elsa also said, “Yeah, cooperating with the elves of Sacred Tree City and confronting the teams from other Underground Cities, this process is more fun than I imagined!”

The other elves also nodded.

The Chicken Dinner Competition was still ongoing.

Although the Elf Squad was eliminated by Old Guys’ Squad, the elves didn’t complain because of this; after all, it was originally a competition, and it was normal to win or lose. Instead, the elves hoped that White Crane Hermit and others would win the championship to offer some comfort.

Miracle City’s Tide Escape.

Will experience a total of seven rounds of circle shrinking.

Each game usually takes a little over an hour.

This rhythm is the result of Qi Ji’s careful debugging and calculation.

It ensures that it’s neat and not dragging, and it’s not too fast a rhythm.

What’s happening at the moment is the second round of circle shrinking. Under the shrinking of the Poison Circle, the map has been compressed by half. All Adventurers must enter the Safe Zone to be active. Nearly half of the Adventurers have been eliminated, showing how intense the battle is!

After Old Guys’ Squad ambushed and eliminated the Elf Squad.

They immediately drove away from the bridge, but they didn’t drive far.

Bang bang bang!

Da da da!

White Crane Hermit immediately braked and warned, “Gunfire.”

San Zhu distinguished for a while, “One o’clock direction, the distance is relatively far.”

The four of them got out of the car decisively.

Pan Shi climbed to a high place.

He took out his binoculars to observe and judge.

“There’s a farm in front, at least two squads are fighting inside, and they should not have discovered us yet.”

Tie Xin immediately said, “In that case, we sneak over, maybe we can get an advantage from them.”

White Crane Hermit thought for a moment and nodded, “Each of you find cover first, and then determine the marksman’s position. It’s best not to alert the enemy. Also, be careful to observe whether there are other teams waiting to take advantage.”

The Old Guys’ Squad are all Old Birds with decades of adventuring experience.

These people have rich experience and high efficiency, and they have been old friends for decades. So their cooperation is very tacit. This is also why so many people are optimistic that they can win the championship.

Miracle City Secret Realm Hall.

Nancy Liya and other spectators.

Could see the situation inside the farm from other crystal perspectives.

“Lord, the two forces currently exchanging fire in the farm are the ‘Bully Team’ and the ‘Green Mountain Team’!”

Artus: “How strong are these two teams?”

“They’re quite strong!”

Nancy Liya replied, “The Bully Team members are Green-Skinned Bully, Mantis Fighter, Big Eagle Bro, and Cunning Fox Girl. Among them, Green-Skinned Bully is a Third Rank Adventurer, and he achieved the Shura Ending in Ashina Country and the Third Rank Named Essence Soul ‘Giant Ninja: Owl’!”

“The four members of the Bully Team entered Miracle City through Black Stone Town.”

“But in fact, they are not Adventurers from Black Stone Town.”

“Because of the relationship with Miracle City, Black Stone Town has become increasingly popular among Adventurers recently. Adventurers from five or six nearby Adventurer Towns have come to visit. It is said that the current population has increased by more than thirty percent!”

“……”

Artus was slightly shocked when he heard this.

This Underground City, which had only been officially operating for just over a month, had already generated a strong influence in the world of Adventurers… It’s not hard to foresee that Adventurers like Green-Skinned Bully who are attracted will only increase!

Nancy Liya continued to introduce:

“As for the Green Mountain Team, it is composed of Meng Yinxue, Qingshan Big Warm Man, Six-Eyed Flying Fish, and Iron-Mouthed Cockroach. Among them, Meng Yinxue is said to be a Third Rank Adventurer with great fame in Green Mountain City, and the other three are also Second-Tier Adventurers!”

Miracle City is getting more and more lively.

Nowadays, it’s also a place where dragons and tigers are hidden.

The Adventurers in these two teams.

Except for Green-Skinned Bully, the others are not very famous in their territories, but they all have extraordinary origins and are not ordinary people.

For example, the female Adventurer Meng Yinxue, who is about the same age as Biyan Hua, is also a Third Rank Adventurer in cultivation. Such cultivation speed and progress are very eye-catching in any Adventurer Town.

Although Green Mountain City has better resources.

But Meng Yinxue’s Third Rank cultivation progress is slightly higher than that of Biyan Hua.

This shows that these two female Adventurers have top-notch talents that are hard to distinguish.

Green Mountain City Adventurers are currently not very strong in Qi Ji Territory, mainly because they arrived a month later than the Black Stone Town Adventurers, and because the construction progress of Gloomy City is currently limited, it can only accommodate six or seven hundred Adventurers at most, and its prestige is naturally smaller.

But the scale of Green Mountain City Adventurers is at least four times that of Black Stone Town!

There are not only at least ten active Third Rank Adventurers, but also even a few Fourth Stage Adventurer Big Shots!

Meng Yinxue descended on the third day after the territory opened. Although the Gloomy City Secret Realm only has “Doomsday Tide” and “Foreign Lands Ten Kingdoms Chronicle”, it is enough for her to feel unprecedented shock and experience and decide to join the Miracle Territory.

Because of this.

She values this match.

Today is a good opportunity to make a name for herself!

If the Green Mountain City Adventurers can win the championship, they can definitely expand their influence, which will make Lord pay more attention, increase the construction of Gloomy City, and allow more Green Mountain City Adventurers to enter the territory!

A few minutes ago.

Meng Yinxue was holding a Kar98k that she had just scavenged.

She led three Green Mountain City Adventurers to the farm during the circle shrinking process. There was a large amount of grass here to hide, so she chose to stay here. As a result, she met the members of the Bully Team riding a motorcycle not long after.

Narrow is the road.

Naturally, they will not be merciful.

Meng Yinxue fired the first shot.

【 “Meng Yinxue” used a Kar98k to kill “Big Eagle Bro”! 】

Big Eagle Bro was very unlucky.

He became the first target on the spot.

He was accurately headshot.

“Not good! There’s an ambush! Find cover quickly!”

Green-Skinned Bully immediately took Mantis Fighter and Cunning Fox Girl to find cover.

Although their reaction speed was fast, the other Adventurers in the Green Mountain City team were obviously not going to stand idly by. With the continuous burst fire from two rifles at medium range, Cunning Fox Girl was also unfortunately shot and killed.

【 “Iron-Mouthed Cockroach” used an AKM to kill Cunning Fox Girl. 】

“Damn!”

“It’s the Green Mountain guys!”

Green-Skinned Bully was naturally furious.

After he hid in cover, he quickly used painkillers and medical kits.

Mantis Fighter said, “There are four Green Mountain guys, we may not be able to beat them…”

Green-Skinned Bully’s personality was fierce and overbearing, he would not easily retreat, “Don’t be afraid, wait for me to throw a few smoke bombs, we will rush up and blow them up together!”

Several smoke bombs were thrown out from behind the cover.

Ultimately, the smoke formed a blockade in two directions.

The Green Mountain Squad was unsure whether the Bully Team was going to use the smoke bombs to retreat, or to launch an assault, and from which direction the smoke would kill them. At this moment, another incendiary grenade and a flashbang came.

Meng Yinxue decisively ordered an active attack!

Both sides immediately engaged in a fierce gunfight.

【 “Green-Skinned Bully” used an M416 to kill “Iron-Mouthed Cockroach”! 】

【 “Mantis Fighter” used an M67 Fragmentary Hand Grenade to kill “Qingshan Big Warm Man”! 】

【 “Meng Yinxue” used a Kar98k to kill “Green-Skinned Bully”! 】

【 “Six-Eyed Flying Fish” used an AKM to kill “Mantis Fighter”! 】

Although the Green Mountain City squad’s comprehensive quality was very strong, Green-Skinned Bully was definitely a ruthless person, even though they were annihilated, they also made the former pay the price of two people.

“Damn!”

“We underestimated these guys!”

“It seems we need to be more careful next time!”

As Meng Yinxue and Six-Eyed Flying Fish thought so.

Suddenly, the sound of a sniper rifle rang out in the distance.

【 “White Crane Hermit” used an M24 to kill “Meng Yinxue”! 】

Six-Eyed Flying Fish was shocked and immediately shrank into cover. As a result, he saw a few hand grenades following, and before he could fall, the fragments of the explosion instantly penetrated his vital points.

【 “San Zhu” used an M67 Fragmentary Hand Grenade to kill “Six-Eyed Flying Fish”! 】

Mantis catches the cicada.

The oriole is behind.

With the intervention of Old Guys’ Squad.

The Bully Team and the Green Mountain Team were eliminated at the same time.

“Hahaha, well done, another squad has been eliminated!”

Although the competition mode cannot hear the sound of the Secret Realm Hall, I believe that many people are paying attention here at the moment.

The Bully Team and the Green Mountain Team were not weak, which was a considerable threat. Their current early elimination was enough to greatly increase the probability of the Old Guys’ Squad winning the championship. After all, the squad hadn’t lost a single person so far.

After Old Guys’ Squad scavenged supplies.

They continued to drive toward the more central area.

The third circle shrinking had already begun at this moment.

Although it was unknown where the final circle would shrink, it didn’t prevent them from finding a relatively central area to lurk first, so they could wait for the opportune moment to gain more advantages.

Not long after.

They drove to the school area.

There are several buildings here that can be used as cover.

It looked like a good place to stay and wait.

However, the Old Guys’ Squad was obviously not the only ones. Four little sneaky people had already taken the lead. As soon as they drove in, they were subjected to intensive firepower suppression. A tire of the jeep was shot out, and it immediately lost control and crashed into the wall.

“Not good!”

“Someone ambushed!”

The Old Guys’ Squad was well-equipped. Although they were injured to varying degrees, there was no reduction in personnel. They took advantage of the situation to quickly get out of the car and flipped into the building in front of them. Then, they used the terrain to launch a street fight.

The gap between the levels and equipment of both sides soon became apparent.

Bang!

【 “White Crane Hermit” used an M24 to kill “Pig King”! 】

San Zhu laughed, “Haha, it turns out to be Hammer Pig Chicken Dog, these little guys!”

Pan Shi also laughed, “No wonder the fighting is so bad!”

The four old Adventurers inevitably felt a hint of disdain and relaxation.

If they encountered the Yellow Springs Squad led by Biyan Hua, or the Four Directions Alliance Squad represented by Sky Cloud Ranger, they might still be in awe of them.

Hammer Pig Chicken Dog were all a group of young people. Even in the situation of being the first to attack, they were still counter-killed by themselves. Their level was just so-so, and it shouldn’t be difficult to eliminate them.

At the same time.

Behind a cover.

Black Stone Hammer King, Angry Little Chicken, and Lone Wolf were all looking serious.

“Damn!”

“It’s Old Dean and the others!”

“This is not easy to deal with!”

The squad had already lost one person and was at a disadvantage in numbers.

White Crane Hermit had an M24 sniper rifle obtained from the Airdrop Crate, and San Zhu had a 98K, which were extremely dangerous. They also had three level three helmets like welders and near-full equipment.

Regardless of level.

Or equipment.

The gap was huge.

If they fight head-on, they will surely die!

But it’s not easy to escape.

Angry Little Chicken said at this moment, “I have a plan! But the risk is a bit high!”

The three immediately discussed it.

Black Stone Hammer King felt very shocked, “Little Chicken, are you sure you want to do this?”

Angry Little Chicken: “This is the only chance to defeat Old Dean and the others!”

Lone Wolf: “Then let’s give it a try!”

Next.

They fired at each other.

They threw smoke bombs to block.

Black Stone Hammer King and Lone Wolf were randomly firing.

The Old Guys’ Squad was temporarily forced to the point where they couldn’t stick their heads out by the opponent’s firepower suppression, but they were obviously not in a hurry either. According to this kind of firepower suppression, the opponent’s ammunition would soon be exhausted.

At this moment, the motorcycle engine roared.

Angry Little Chicken drove the motorcycle to charge, and directly broke into the building where the Old Guys’ Squad was hiding. As a result, before he could pull out his gun, he was killed on the spot.

【 “Tie Xin” used an M416 to kill “Angry Little Chicken!” 】

“Are they crazy?”

“Isn’t this suicide!”

“Wait! Something’s not quite right!”

White Crane Hermit had a bad feeling, and he immediately checked the motorcycle that had overturned on the ground. He saw that there was a strange package tied to the car.

In the next second.

With a loud bang.

The entire building was filled with firelight and smoke.

【 “Black Stone Hammer King” used a C4 bomb to kill “White Crane Hermit”! 】

【 “Black Stone Hammer King” used a C4 bomb to kill “San Zhu”! 】

【 “Black Stone Hammer King” used a C4 bomb to kill “Pan Shi”! 】

【 “Black Stone Hammer King” used a C4 bomb to kill “Tie Xin”! 】

Old Guys’ Squad.

Total Annihilation!

“Too damn it!”

“Can you still play like this?”

“The Hammer Pig Chicken Dog Squad tied C4 bombs to the motorcycle, and then rode the motorcycle and blew up White Crane Hermit and the others all at once, sacrificing one self-destructing soldier to wipe out the strong enemy in one fell swoop!”

“The one who died was the teammate, and the kills are all yours, right!”

“What kind of operation is this? It’s too damn showy!”

“Hahaha, interesting, young people still have ideas!”

……

This exchange.

This operation.

Made the audience stunned.

Various exclamations of “damn” rose one after another.

The big favorites to win the championship were gone like that!

No one expected that the Old Guys’ Squad, in the situation of having the upper hand, would be defeated by the Hammer Pig Chicken Dog Squad, which was obviously weaker in all aspects and at an absolute disadvantage!

White Crane Hermit and others were eliminated.

When they exited the Secret Realm, they were also all dumbfounded.

“Self-destructing motorcycle?”

“How did they come up with that!”

“Alas, we capsized in the gutter, this time we were careless!”

“You can’t underestimate young people now!”

“……”

The Hammer Pig Chicken Dog Squad’s operation was very exciting.

It was almost a counter-kill case that could be recorded in the Tide Escape textbook.

Although it was Angry Little Chicken who rode the motorcycle to break into the enemy’s building under the cover of smoke, the C4 bomb on the motorcycle was installed by Black Stone Hammer King, so all the kills were counted on Black Stone Hammer King.

Why do this?

The Miracle City Chicken Dinner Competition is divided into team rankings and individual rankings.

Among them, the top teams have big prizes, and the winning team in the end can get a set of houses, while the individual rankings, although there are no big prizes, also have Contribution Points rewards, and the higher the ranking, the more Contribution Points.

Black Stone Hammer King and Lone Wolf quickly scavenged supplies and then continued to lurk and ambush the Adventurers who passed by.

During this process, they encountered two waves of Adventurers in succession.

They were all badly damaged teams.

The first wave had only one person.

The second wave had two people.

Black Stone Hammer King and Lone Wolf easily killed them together, but the two of them were not happy for too long. A sniper rifle sound suddenly rang out from a rooftop in the distance.

【 “Biyan Hua” used a Kar98k to kill “Black Stone Hammer King”! 】

“It’s the Yellow Springs Squad!”

Lone Wolf was immediately shocked.

The sniping distance was too absurd!

He couldn’t even determine the opponent’s position.

All three of his teammates had already sacrificed, and only Lone Wolf was left. How could he have the confidence to compete with Biyan Hua? He immediately retreated from the back door and tried to leave the battlefield to find another place to survive until the final circle.

However, the other side had made arrangements long ago.

Two figures appeared in front.

A brief and hurried exchange of fire broke out between the two sides.

【 “Wangchuan Sanren” used an M416 to kill “Lone Wolf”! 】

At this point, the Hammer Pig Chicken Dog Squad was completely annihilated.

The Yellow Springs Squad members occupied the place.

“Biyan Hua, Wind in Sleep, Wangchuan Sanren, Lonely Swordsman… This is a very strong team. Will they win the final championship?”

“I think it’s very possible!”

“I’m a fan of Biyan Hua Big Shot!”

“Biyan Hua Big Shot, go for it!”

“……”

The Poison Circle began to shrink again.

The Adventurers’ Safe Zones were getting smaller and smaller.

This also meant that the escape and kill entered the final stage of the climax.

Wangchuan Sanren: “Team Leader, look over there, an Airdrop Crate is coming towards us!”

Biyan Hua squinted her eyes and looked up, and she saw an Airdrop Crate hanging from a parachute, descending not far away. She immediately came up with an idea.

“Don’t take the Airdrop Crate first!”

“Leave it as bait to attract others!”

“Good idea, the fighting is intense at the moment, and ammunition is probably very tight, and there is a high probability of getting powerful, high-firepower weapons from the Airdrop Crate, which is an opportunity to turn things around for many people.”

“……”

The few of them set up an ambush for two minutes.

A jeep did drive to the Airdrop Crate, and four people quickly jumped down from the car. Three of them were using their guns nearby as a warning, and the other person ran to try to obtain the supplies in the Airdrop Crate.

A smile appeared on Biyan Hua’s lips.

She aimed at the target with an eight-times scope from a distance of several hundred meters, and then pulled the trigger.

【 “Biyan Hua” used an M24 to kill “Mingyue Zhaoxue”! 】

“There’s a sniper!”

The other members of the Cat Deer Rain Snow Squad were all shocked.

At this moment, they also had to forget about the Airdrop Crate and quickly seek cover.

The Yellow Springs Squad members had expected this and had ambushed in advance. For a time, the sound of gunfire rang out one after another.

【 “Lonely Swordsman” used a Kar98k to kill “Lihua Yuluo”! 】

【 “Wangchuan Sanren” used an M416 to kill “Cat Mengmeng”! 】

【 “Wind in Sleep” used an M762 to kill “White Deer”! 】

“Well done!”

“A beautiful hunt!”

“As expected of Biyan Hua Big Shot!”

“I feel that the champion is probably the Yellow Springs Squad!”

The spectators in the Miracle City Secret Realm Hall who were optimistic about the Yellow Springs Squad all cheered, especially when Biyan Hua got another AWM sniper rifle from the Airdrop Crate, they felt even more confident.

When everyone thought so.

The Poison Circle continued to shrink and was entering the final circle.

At this moment, of the one hundred Adventurers participating, only a little over ten were still alive.

The Yellow Springs Squad had not lost a single member, and their various equipment configurations were also almost fully equipped. It stands to reason that they were very strong, at least in the eyes of the Miracle City Adventurers, winning the championship was a sure thing.

However.

Just then.

The Yellow Springs Squad encountered another fully-staffed team.

This team was precisely Ran Tianyun, Ren Wanxiong, Li Jianhan, and Gao Yue, the Four Directions Alliance Squad composed of four Lords, and it was also the only force that could threaten the Yellow Springs Squad at the moment.

“Sky Cloud Ranger” Ran Tianyun was also somewhat famous in Miracle City.

However, although the Sky Cloud Ranger showed the old and experienced level that a Third Rank Adventurer should have, because he hadn’t achieved any particularly eye-catching achievements in Miracle City at the moment, the best Titan Chapter’s first clear was also taken away by White Crane Hermit.

Because of this.

In the eyes of the people in Miracle City.

Although Sky Cloud Ranger was a Big Shot.

But there was still a little gap compared to White Crane Hermit and Biyan Hua.

Not many people were optimistic that this team could deal with the Yellow Springs Squad, after all, the fame and performance between the two were very disparate!

When the two squads met in the final circle, a wonderful duel that stunned everyone broke out, and the result of this battle was beyond everyone’s expectations.

【 “Biyan Hua” used an AWM to kill “Man of Ten Thousand Swords”! 】

【 “Sky Cloud Ranger” used a Kar98k to kill “Biyan Hua”! 】

【 “Fengyun Haoxia” used a Kar98k to kill “Lonely Swordsman”! 】

【 “Wind in Sleep” used an M24 to kill “Fengyun Haoxia”! 】

【 “Mingyue Zhaoxue” used a Kar98k to kill “Wind in Sleep”! 】

【……】

After a fierce exchange of sniper fire, plus the competition for a duel.

The final result was beyond the expectations of all the Adventurers in Miracle City.

The Four Directions Alliance Squad’s strength far exceeded everyone’s imagination, and at the cost of losing two people, they eliminated the four members of the Yellow Springs Squad.

“Damn!”

“No way!”

“Biyan Hua Big Shot actually lost?”

“Sky Cloud Ranger is a Big Shot, everyone knows.”

“Why are the other three so powerful? I feel they are not below Sky Cloud Ranger Big Shot!”

“……”

Obviously.

Dragons and tigers were hidden in Miracle City.

There were many underestimated experts.

Among the four Lords disguised as Adventurers, only Ran Tianyun had performed, and the other three were not showing any signs, and there were no battle records. No one expected that they were all so powerful!

Biyan Hua had obviously underestimated her opponents!

Any one of these four, if they were one-on-one, would have confidence, but they didn’t have absolute certainty of victory.

When the four of them went together, Biyan Hua was alone and couldn’t support it. After all, the level of the other three members of the Yellow Springs Squad, compared to these Fourth Stage Lords in the territory and the Fifth Order themselves, there was still a gap.

“What a wonderful gunfight!”

“This match also opened our eyes!”

“It turns out that in Miracle City, there are so many powerful experts, so many hidden Big Shots!”

“Miracle Territory is now a place where dragons and tigers are hidden!”

“……”

Nancy Liya, Artus and other elves were also very shocked.

They realized that there were almost no ordinary people among the one hundred participants this time. In the future, they would all be the most active Adventurers in Miracle City and also the mainstay of the territory.

And by getting on the big boat of Miracle City.

Their growth potential is also unlimited.

In the future, they are very likely to become a force that can influence the entire Chaos Continent!

At this moment, the final circle of the competition has formed, and the remaining Adventurers are already less than ten. This competition, which has twists and turns and suspense, has officially entered the final stage.
