Chapter 276: Something Strange Has Slipped In
The Battlefield Rules mention that the quantity of Supplies seized refers to Looting and Pickup after killing Monsters.
But in the first half hour, Yu Jiang had already crouched in the corner recovering quite a few Steel Bars from building debris.
Steel Block+20
Scavenging is unavoidable; once started, she gets ruthless, forgets everything, and can’t walk away.
No need to rush to seize Resources; before the Meteor Shower arrives, Players don’t have much in their hands anyway, and finding people is troublesome.
With high Combat Power teams having Heartless Water, just directly seize their Resources.
Yu Jiang guessed the opponent would first secure the top 20% Ranking in the Entire Zone, then come for her.
Kill Monsters count won’t be cleared due to Matchstick Man Item consumption; it doesn’t exist that killing a Player lets you seize all their Battlefield Revenue and take their position.
As long as Performance in the Battlefield is good, the system will definitely grant qualification for the next Battlefield.
The system’s intent seems to be for Survivors to swing their Knives at Monsters, not their own kind.
But for Survival and Rewards, conflict between Survivors can’t stop.
Plenty want to take advantage of the opening Skill lockdown when gaps between Players are small to strike first.
The Instance Channel was quiet as chickens half an hour ago, noisy half an hour later.
Six Nuclear Bombs: “I*%#, just killed the Monster, it Dropped a limited-time Detector Item, then a scumbag jumped out to Sniping Mobs it, and he even turned around to attack me. Everyone be careful, this guy attacks anyone he sees now, the Item’s Effectiveness Period is 5 minutes! Don’t expose your human identity!”
I Want to Eat Egg Yolk Pastry: “Don’t mention it, I also met scumbags who don’t contribute and just Sniping Mobs and Resources from behind. We agreed well at the Parking Plaza, team up after entering to advance together and share Rewards, but after entering they put on Monster Skin, all real beasts!”
Hit Me Constipated for a Month: “Everyone’s crazy, Battlefield has three more days, starting fights now? Aren’t you saving your Strength?”
Yu Jiang watched the Channel, wondering if Heartless Water and them would use this way, through other Players, to pass Messages.
The guy Sniping Mobs and killing was exposed for his Area.
She glanced at the Map, too far away; by the time she got there, it would be cold.
Yu Jiang continued to hunker at the Battlefield edge Area, moving toward the Central Zone while Scavenging.
Iron Block and Steel Block, one Grid can stack many portions, doesn’t take Space.
This Place can’t pick up other Supplies either.
Suddenly, Yu Jiang saw a Monster; she quickly stowed her Crowbar and shrank behind the charred wall with only half a panel left.
She wasn’t sure if it was a Monster or a person; Monsters in the City Battlefield all look bizarre, can’t tell from appearance alone.
That thing’s arms have Bone Spurs, looking abnormally sharp, could pierce a person straight through with a casual stab.
Yu Jiang bent down, lightened her steps to follow behind, distance visually about 10 meters.
It seemed to be looking for something, suddenly looked back; good thing she Dodged fast, wasn’t seen.
Really can’t tell if it’s a person or a Monster.
If it’s a person, she always feels like the opponent might have spotted her and is deliberately tricking her.
All around dead silent, only the sound of the Monster ahead stepping on scattered Broken Glass on the road, and Yu Jiang’s own breathing.
Within 5 meters it’ll be discovered, but to take down this Monster, must get close first; impossible to silently backstab with a Knife.
At this time, envy those with long Attack Range; Kuang Kuang Kuang just picks a good position, draws bow and shoots, Monster dies without knowing who did it.
What Yu Jiang didn’t know was the Monster ahead also kept feeling something off around it, like some strange thing had sneaked in.
This made it Frenzy with rage, slapping a roadside leg bone in half.
What’s going on! Usually it chases Food, now feels something entered its territory, shadowing it, but can’t find it.
It got angry, roared, its exoskeleton tail sweeping across the road.
Bang!
A Steel Bar smashed unstoppable toward where Yu Jiang had just hidden, the terrifying Strength could shatter a human skull in one hit.
No one there, the Monster’s ghostly blue Eyes flashed with confusion.
At that moment, a Figure emerged from the second floor Window Frame at its side; before its full Attack Power tail could retract, Yu Jiang swiftly stabbed her Bayonet into the back gap without exoskeleton Coverage.
Not that she didn’t want to stab the neck, conditions didn’t allow; this Frenzy Monster’s size too big, 2.5 meters at least, she couldn’t reach from this angle.
Worst luck, this Knife gave no debuff, no Critical Hit Effect, Monster just lost 10 Health Points.
Meteors or radiation-created Monsters hard to fight; calculated distances and Terrain for half a day, no Weapon Damage Buff Effect gambled out, all for nothing.
Yu Jiang only had this one strike’s time; it reacted and started counterattacking.
The hard exoskeleton tail grazed past Yu Jiang’s side, banging into the wall, large clouds of Dust falling, leaving a deep mark on the wall.
This thing’s Attack and Defense values too high; Dodged the Monster’s tail, then arm Bone Spur smashed over, Yu Jiang hurriedly Dodged to her pre-scouted position.
While the Monster angrily attacked, she was figuring its Attack Range; after perfect Dodge, seized the opportunity to Output.
Attack Power not high, Skills locked at opening, could only rely on Positioning and Attack rhythm to develop.
Monster chases, Yu Jiang Dodges, both hard to escape.
Monster gets more Frenzy the more it chases, never hit Yu Jiang, instead always letting her catch Attack gaps to stab with Knife.
Finally at 40 Health Points left! Critical Hit!
Critical Hit Damage not simply double normal Attack, based on Weapon Attack and target Defense, Damage has floating value, so Critical Hit needs gambling.
This time luck good, directly maxed out emptying its Health Bar.
Yu Jiang only lost 5% Shield, Health Bar full, plus remaining 5% Shield.
Battlefield Players’ built-in Shield Value won’t refresh once consumed, but killing Monsters can Pickup Shield Value.
[Player Kill Monster ‘Alien Species’, Drops Battlefield Resource, Shield 20%, Energy Canned Food*1, eating restores Health Points+5, Fatigue Value-10%.]
With previous Players’ hard work killing Monsters getting peached by others, Yu Jiang’s Looting speed very fast.
Things good, just Skills not unlocked yet.
Yu Jiang patted her hands and stood up; Shield full, so, hunting begins.
While the Battlefield Channel was in chaos, an Orchid Mantis color-matched Monster holding a Weapon rapidly Crazy Moved on city roads.
Scavenging and killing Monsters without delay.
Yu Jiang not only knocked Materials from building remains, but also picked up snapped Steel Bars and Steel Wire left by city residents resisting Monsters, setting up the Battlefield.
Grinding Monsters efficiency too low, of course use her specialty Positioning and Prediction to lure them all over.
Once Monster snagged by Steel Wire or impaled by Steel Bar, she rushes up for Crazy Output.
After killing the 6th Monster, Yu Jiang successfully unlocked her Skill Weapon.
The cost: these Monsters seem to have group consciousness, Monster Skin Effect weakened in current Area, they Frenzy rush to attack her upon seeing her, even 10 meters away.
She seems notorious in this Street Block’s Monster group.
Monster: Something’s wrong, feels like being followed.
