Henry Cooper gave the order, and all E group parachutes changed direction, gliding toward the air-raid shelter. However...

  “Ethan Brooks!”

  “Ethan Brooks, come back! Head for the air-raid shelter! Don’t go down there!”

  Among the E group’s cluster of parachutes, Ethan Brooks alone did not turn, but instead followed the original drop point, breaking away from the group and gliding solo toward the prison.

  In this very scene, under the dominance of the swirling “kill one” skull parachute, Ethan Brooks’s little white parachute looked so frail and thin.

  “Damn!” Andrew Miller couldn’t help but speak up, issuing an order to the whole team.

  “Grab a gun as soon as you land!”

  Most of the members of the Super Shadow team had already landed, scrambling to gather supplies and arm themselves.

  At this moment, both Ethan Brooks and “Kill one” were parachuting toward the rooftop platform of the prison.

  No! Strictly speaking, it wasn’t just a coincidence. Ethan Brooks’s parachute was gliding down normally, but “Kill one” wasn’t—he was circling on purpose, waiting for Ethan Brooks, then heading for the exact same landing spot!

  He was charging straight at Ethan Brooks!

  He wanted to get a “first kill” the moment they landed!

  ……

  Two kilometers away from the “Sky City” internet café, at the “Demon Claw” net café—where both the audience size and the venue’s luxury far surpassed the Super Shadow team’s location—the Demon Claw team’s competition point, the screen where the referee and commentator were giving live commentary had already switched focus to “Kill one”’s perspective.

  People were already very familiar with the “God of Killing.” Frankly, today’s match had a great highlight: everyone wanted to see how the “God of Killing,” “Kill one,” would show off his skills against the Super Shadow team! “Kill one” also seemed to want to put on a show, determined to fulfill the team’s goal of “conquering Ding Mei.”

  In the Demon Claw team’s channel, Samuel Young, who was controlling the “Kill one” character, clicked his tongue and made a “tss-la!” sound, then laughed in the channel, “Someone from Super Shadow is actually not running away when they see me! Interesting! Brave! Then I’ll make him my first target! Oh ho ho…”

  Captain Matthew Scott laughed, “Bullying the kids again! Don’t be too fierce, or you’ll scare the Super Shadow guys so much they’ll run at the sight of you—where’s the challenge in that… In a bit, make sure to surround Ding Mei for me, let’s have some fun with her…”

  A round of lewd laughter sounded in the channel.

  “Oh yo yo… about to land, about to land, look at this little flower running so hard after cutting the parachute! Kill him, I’ll kill him! Don’t run, don’t run, if you keep running your ass won’t be safe when you land!” Samuel Young’s voice came through the channel, and everyone on the Demon Claw team gave a wry smile—when this guy goes crazy, he really has no filter, running his mouth all over the map.

  ……

  Ethan Brooks’s “Nameless” and “Kill one” both landed at almost the exact same spot. The moment they touched down, “Kill one” kicked off the ground, his character lunging forward, fists swinging hard and accurately at the head of Ethan Brooks’s “Nameless.”

  The head is the most vulnerable part of the character; even ordinary hits cause more blood loss than hits to the torso. If shot by a firearm without a helmet, it’s an instant kill—this is what’s called a “headshot.”

  But Ethan Brooks tilted his head and actually dodged, though the punch grazed his body.

  The muffled sound of punches thudded in his ears, and the screen in front of Ethan Brooks instantly flashed red, his character’s health dropping rapidly.

  “Run! Run! …Ethan Brooks, run!”

  Henry Cooper had already landed his own character in the forest, frantically picking up guns while shouting at Ethan Brooks, who was sitting next to him.

  No kidding, the money Ethan Brooks used to bet with Kevin Miller was actually Henry Cooper’s own tuition that he’d misappropriated. If Ethan Brooks got eliminated here, Kevin Miller could immediately act and sweep the money from the guarantee platform straight into his own wallet!

  Everyone in Super Shadow was on edge. They hadn’t expected “Kill one” to try to get his first kill by beating Ethan Brooks to death with his fists.

  Kevin Miller was filled with genuine delight, thinking, “Karma, this is karma! Ethan Brooks, what goes around comes around, and it’s come for you so fast. I’ll just take your three thousand without any courtesy!”

  “Hit your head! Kick your ass! Jab your butt! Hey, still running… where do you think you can go?” Samuel Young, controlling “Kill one,” chased after Ethan Brooks throwing punches, each one aiming for a headshot. But to his annoyance, none landed solidly. Although the “Nameless” character was running ahead with his back exposed, he kept switching up his footwork, dodging left and right, his head moving unpredictably, making it impossible for the punches to land squarely. As a result, his health wasn’t dropping much.

  And because he was only focused on running, every time Samuel Young chased and swung, his character’s speed would lag a bit. He couldn’t stun and slow the opponent, and by the time his character sped up again to catch up, there was a time gap. Suddenly, Samuel Young saw “Nameless” veer sharply to the right—and right there on the ground were two shotguns and some ammo!

  “Damn, so you’re pretty sneaky after all!” Samuel Young got excited—cat and mouse is only fun when the mouse is clever.

  Demon Claw team captain Matthew Scott also saw the situation, but he didn’t need to remind Samuel Young; he trusted that the other had seen it too. That’s the confidence you have in a top player.
