As team after team advanced into the circle, some had a full squad of five, some only had three left, and some even had only one person, but they still moved resolutely into the circle.
Continuing to run forward meant a chance to survive, or at least to last until the time ran out and still live. But if one just stayed put, death was inevitable.
No one dared to gamble on what scene would unfold after the watch exploded, so everyone chose to keep pushing forward.
Meanwhile, Johnny's team continued their act, occasionally firing shots.
Even if the opposing team saw the five red dots when the map refreshed, they would only assume it was a feud between two different teams.
No one would have thought that these two teams, currently Shooting at each other, were actually the same team.
At the same time, outside the circle, four people, all injured, were rushing towards the circle.
These four were all Asians, but their fierce expressions made it clear from a distance that they were not to be trifled with.
"Damn it, these bastards! How dare they ambush us! Hmph!" the middle-aged man leading them cursed angrily.
The group was uniformly equipped with AKs, and their travel-worn appearance made it hard to imagine that these four were the fourth-ranked 'Big Circle' team.
Although all of them were injured, fortunately, their injuries were not too severe, at least not enough to affect their movement.
They also heard gunshots in the distance, and one of them turned to ask the middle-aged man in charge, "Big Brother, should we go and eliminate them?"
"No rush, let's get into the circle first. Don't waste energy. It's a critical moment now, and surviving is the most important thing."
Lin Zhicheng shook his head. He knew very well that although they came here to achieve a good ranking and obtain more resource allocation, they shouldn't waste their lives in meaningless places.
With their current points, they were already ranked fourth, so there was no need to fight these guys to the death. Their top priority now was to ensure their own survival.
Moreover, even a cornered rabbit bites. Don't be fooled by how enthusiastically those people were fighting; with so few of them, a counterattack could still cause them losses.
"Xiao Sun is already dead; we can't afford any more losses," Lin Zhicheng waved his hand.
Seeing Lin Zhicheng say this, Sun Yaohui naturally stopped talking, as the deceased Xiao Sun was his younger brother.
But the problem was that life is unpredictable. Just because you don't want to do something doesn't mean others don't. Seeing these four, fierce but injured, some small team was bound to target them.
About 300 meters away from them, a full squad of five Japanese players was stealthily approaching.
Li Weiming, who was on alert, spotted them and immediately issued a warning, "Big Brother, five little devils are sneaking up from the 6 o'clock direction! They're the same group that ambushed us earlier!"
Normally, if he heard someone approaching, Lin Zhicheng wouldn't have planned to engage, but upon hearing the words "little devils," his blood immediately boiled.
"Damn it, these little devils really think we're pushovers, don't they!"
Lin Zhicheng pulled the bolt of his AK, aiming directly in that direction.
His AK was equipped with a 6x scope. He switched to single-shot mode, made some adjustments, and then pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A shot rang out, and the bullet instantly left the barrel, covering over 200 meters in a flash. A burst of blood erupted from the head of the Japanese 'little devil' who was stealthily approaching, his back of the head blown open.
"Go to hell! Weren't you having a great time Shooting at us earlier? I'll make your heads explode!"
Lin Zhicheng cursed while aiming at the next target.
However, after one shot, the opponents became wary and started taking cover, but Sun Yaohui, who was beside him, had no intention of letting them go.
"Damn you, little devils, I'll kill you all!" Sun Yaohui also became enraged, aiming his AK at the distance and firing continuously.
A Japanese assassin, unable to dodge in time, was hit directly in the knee and thigh, falling to the ground and wailing, cursing incessantly.
"Kuso! My leg!"
The other three quickly took cover behind nearby obstacles. Although they wanted to save their companion, they were powerless at that moment.
Li Weiming, who was on alert, aimed his scope at the assassin's other hand, pulled the trigger, and a 7.62mm bullet directly pierced his arm, rendering him unable to crawl forward.
Lin Zhicheng, meanwhile, kept firing at their cover, suppressing them and preventing them from raising their heads.
Yang Chengzhi, standing behind him, also provided suppressive fire, not letting them peek out. They all tacitly left the 'little devil' lying on the ground to Sun Yaohui.
"Bastard, damn your ancestors, give me back my brother's life!" Sun Yaochen roared, continuously aiming at the little devil's limbs, shot after shot, 7.62mm bullets repeatedly piercing his arms, thighs, and calves.
Each bullet splattered blood on him, and he could only lie on the ground wailing, "Hayaku, watashi ni hitotsu no tanoshimi o ataete! (Give me a quick death!)"
His companions, suppressed by three guns, couldn't move and couldn't give him a quick death. Sun Yaohui continued to fire single shots, and finally, after a 7.62mm bullet blew up his 'little brother,' he suddenly turned ashen and stopped screaming.
At this moment, his life was dark. He knew he was doomed and would not walk out alive.
He lost all resistance, and the continuously flowing blood made his world turn gray.
Finally, after a bullet pierced his forehead, he left this beautiful world, and a mixture of red and white blood slowly flowed on the ground.
"Boss, let's kill them all!" Sun Yaohui roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Lin Zhicheng said nothing, only started moving forward while continuing to suppress them.
He knew very well that they either had to fight a quick battle or make a clean break.
However, they had chosen to fight, so Lin Zhicheng made a gesture.
Li Weimin and Yang Chengzhi immediately ran forward, while Sun Yaohui quickly ran in another direction.
The distance of over 200 meters vanished in an instant, and the three had executed a flanking maneuver.
Lin Zhicheng, meanwhile, continued to walk and fire single shots, suppressing them and preventing them from showing their heads.
At this point, the group of Japanese assassins behind cover was also very anxious, because their position was very awkward; there was no possibility of escaping left or right, only backward. So they chose to slowly crawl backward, trying not to expose their position.
They had intended to ambush these guys at this moment, but they were discovered by the opponent, who even counter-killed two of them.
As they prepared to continue crawling further away, three people appeared on their flank like divine soldiers, directly raising their AKs, switching to automatic mode, and beginning a frantic spray of bullets!
Bang bang bang!!!
Gunshots rang out, and the remaining three 'little devils' were directly riddled with bullets by the three, dead beyond dead.
After looting the bodies, the three quickly returned to Lin Zhicheng to regroup, counted their supplies, and then continued on their way.
Only five corpses were left on the ground, proving that a skirmish had taken place there.
