Deep into the night, the gas station was illuminated by two flashlights hung up to serve as lights, and none of the players rested, either sitting or standing, occasionally glancing at Wang Chaoqing.
As Xu Huo patted his trousers and started to walk outside, Gu Yu quickly called out to him, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to have a smoke." Xu Huo didn't go far, just across the street.
After a while, Shen Yi came over, offered him a bottle of water, and asked him for a lighter.
The two squatted by the roadside, smoking.
"That kick you gave me earlier was pretty fierce," Shen Yi said, touching his ribs, and added with a smile when he saw Xu Huo turn his head, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you."
"The game is a place of life and death struggles, where doing anything to survive isn't surprising. Your intentions were good, and you didn't really want to harm us. On the contrary, if we had followed Lin Pei, we might have ended up like Wu Qiuyi."
