The weapons were chosen, and twenty people were placed in different locations. The game began.

Leaving behind Chi Yan, I felt every nerve in my body tense.

Just ten minutes later, three gunshots rang out in the distance, startling the birds in the woods, and the broadcast quickly announced that someone had died.

As the dark clouds grew heavier, raindrops fell on me, as if cleansing the scene of slaughter.

I heard rustling footsteps behind me, and my heart jumped to my throat.

I followed a path through the woods, cautiously making my way forward, while the screeching of vultures filled the air.

I remembered someone saying that vultures would watch from afar as a person approached death, and as soon as the person died, they would swoop down to feast.

I gasped for breath, and when I saw a tree hollow, I didn't hesitate to crawl inside, even though it was pitch black.

I couldn't die.

The footsteps grew closer, and then I heard a conversation between a man and a woman.

The man was angry and slapped the woman.

"Useless! You even lost track of a woman!"

"I'm sorry! I clearly saw her running in this direction... Don't be angry, if we work together, we can definitely win!"

In the game, it was common for men and women to team up. After all, both genders were competing for a champion spot. If a man and a woman survived together, they didn't need to fight each other and could both survive.

If the remaining two were of the same gender, it would depend on who was lucky enough to eliminate the other.

Just as the two were about to leave, a colorful python slowly slithered towards me, its scales rustling against the ground.

I tightly gripped my knife, and my heartbeat pounded like a drum.

"Shh..."

The man turned around and looked towards the tree hollow, then slowly approached.

The leaves in front of the hollow partially blocked the view. Did he spot me?

What should I do? How can I fight against the two of them alone...

Just then, fireworks erupted in the distance, illuminating the dark sky filled with clouds.

"It's an airdrop! Someone called for an airdrop!"

"Quick, let's go! If we can grab weapons and food, we'll win this!"

They turned and ran towards the direction of the fireworks.

I watched the python, which was getting closer and closer, took a deep breath, and flipped out of the tree hollow. In an instant, I rolled along with the python, tumbling a few times.

Seeing the snake so close, my scalp instantly tingled.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll leave right away, the hollow is all yours!"

I got up and immediately zigzagged away. I didn't know how far I ran, but when I looked back, the python was nowhere to be seen.

As I bent down to catch my breath, I saw a blaze on my knees.

I slowly raised my head and saw two muscular men sitting by a rock, using the fire to dry their soaked clothes.

A smile spread across the lips of the Middle Eastern man, and he kicked the Asian man, gesturing for him to look at me.

"Well, dinner has delivered itself."
