Chapter 053: Death Game!

**Chapter 053: Death Game!**

---

*Crack!*

As the countdown ended, the people on the platform vanished in an instant.

Chen Ye waved his hand, and the space before him flipped, bringing them to a vast estate.

Several buildings dotted the estate, and the people were randomly thrown into one of these buildings.

The estate was immense, with only one exit.

At that moment, countless fishmen surged from all directions, crazily rushing towards the buildings!

Chen Ye watched from above, "Do you think I should stay in the spectator stand, 079?"

"Um... If you intervene, the game will become too easy, affecting its balance," 079 replied. "Of course, if you want to join in, you... can."

Chen Ye twisted his body, reverting to his human appearance, only to find a cigarette suddenly appearing before him.

"Master, please," a voice said.

Chen Ye chuckled, "Interesting."

He took the cigarette and lit it with a small flame that appeared at his fingertips.

"Let them play on their own."

Down below,

As soon as Chu Yang opened his eyes, he found himself inside a room. Without hesitation, he rushed towards the deepest room in the house.

A hunting rifle hung on the wall.

Just as he reached for the rifle, someone attacked, kicking him in the chest.

It was none other than Hawk Eye.

Hawk Eye picked up the rifle and looked at Chu Yang, "Are you okay? Why did you fall on your own?"

"Oh, it's too dangerous for you to hold this rifle. Let me take it for you. Just follow me," he said.

This guy!

Chu Yang gritted his teeth. With all his abilities gone, he was no match for Hawk Eye, who had the fishman's heart.

The fishman's heart was also one of the rewards for clearing the game.

After each clearance, there would be a reward settlement ranking:

1st to 3rd place would get a golden treasure chest.

4th to 10th place would get a silver treasure chest.

The rest, as long as they survived for a specific time, would get a guaranteed bronze treasure chest.

But the bronze treasure chest was extremely rubbish, at best, it could only open to a blue ability, with a very low probability.

The fishman's heart was a purple reward. If Chu Yang wanted to get the fishman's heart again, he would have to enter the top ten at least!

And in this level, to enter the top ten, you must kill fishmen!

The more fishmen killed, the higher the ranking!

But without a gun, it would be very difficult for him to kill fishmen with his ordinary physical abilities!

Hawk Eye walked away with the gun, leaving Chu Yang to pick up a nearby axe.

In times of weakness, one could only endure.

Chu Yang used to have a purple ability, a gold ability, and two blue abilities.

The gold ability could knock down opponents 100% of the time, a conceptual ability that would knock down anyone it touched.

The purple ability was the fishman's heart, which could double a person's physical strength.

Two blue abilities, one for enhanced hearing, and the other for enhanced physical fitness.

The other abilities were sold by Chu Yang because they were not useful.

In addition, he also had two purple consumable items, Deep Sea Breath.

Deep Sea Breath was also a drop from level 002, and its effect was to heal the entire body once, equivalent to a healing potion.

The difference was that after healing, Deep Sea Breath would come with a physical enhancement.

Chu Yang used Deep Sea Breath twice, once when his heart was crushed by a fishman two months ago, and once when he was in a car accident explosion.

But that was all in the past. Now he didn't even have the most rubbish white ability.

Chu Yang picked up the axe and headed towards the door, where the fishmen were already rushing towards them!

Most people chose to fight while running, as there were too many fishmen. Trying to fight head-on was not realistic.

To save energy, most people would use the terrain to their advantage against the fishmen.

"One fishman equals one point. According to previous data, I think I need to kill at least forty-five fishmen to enter the top ten," Chu Yang muttered to himself.

Hawk Eye climbed to a high point with his gun, aiming at the fishmen's heads with precision.

He had the ability to use firearms, and his marksmanship was needless to say.

Some experienced veterans had already obtained weapons and began to deal with the fishmen in their own ways.

Some grouped together to defend a point, resembling players in a CF zombie mode.

Although the veterans were prepared, the newcomers were completely lost.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What should I do?

A fishman pounced on a newcomer, who screamed in agony as his throat was bitten, and more and more newcomers fell.

Suddenly, Chu Yang thought of something. He looked at a newcomer who was being pounced on by a fishman, then lifted his axe and struck the fishman's head as it was feeding.

*Splurt!*

"One."

...

In the sky, Chen Ye kept his eyes on a player with the ID name "Ye Gong".

He had superb agility, elegant footwork, and could handle a horde of fishmen single-handedly. He used whatever was nearby as if he were a god of war in a toy city.

Among these people, his combat ability was the strongest.

But he wasn't just strong because of his physical advantages; he excelled in his flexible and adaptable fighting style and reaction speed.

In gaming terms, this guy had lightning-fast reflexes.

As the battle continued for half an hour, most people began to struggle.

"Strange, why hasn't the game ended after half an hour?"

"Yeah, did the survival time get extended?"

Chu Yang also noticed this, "Isn't it supposed to be half an hour?"

"Oh no, we can't drag this out any longer!"

The number and intensity of fishmen increased gradually over time. Even with 30 minutes, it was already difficult.

If the time were extended by another 10 or 20 minutes, even Ye Gong wouldn't be able to hold out!

Thinking of this, Chu Yang looked towards the estate's main gate.

"We must find a way to break out. As long as we can escape, we can at least scrape by. Staying here is a dead end for sure!"

Clearly, others had the same idea!

They all rushed towards the estate's main gate in an instant, with Chu Yang following closely behind.

After 30 minutes, casualties began to increase rapidly.

The team of a hundred players dwindled to less than twenty.

Ye Gong led the way, coordinating with a few other players to clear a path and escape from the estate first!

Other players followed suit, with Chu Yang trailing behind due to his weak physical abilities.

Chu Yang gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to roll through the gate.

At the same time, the screen before everyone went black.

The game was over.

Entering the reward settlement phase.

Ye Gong ranked first, having killed 102 fishmen, leaving the second-place player 19 fishmen behind, a considerable lead.

Meanwhile, Hawk Eye Mihawk ranked only seventh, having killed 49 fishmen.

Chu Yang's ranking was even lower, only reaching 65th place.

He had killed a total of 8 fishmen, a dismal number indeed.

The good news was that Chu Yang had at least survived and secured the lowest-ranking bronze treasure chest.

"Sigh..."

As everyone returned to the platform, they all opened their chests, including Chu Yang.

\[Reward obtained: One-time use item\]

\[Hand Grenade (White reward)\]

"This is rubbish..."
