191 Blood cover the field
A few minutes before the last round began, Takumi met privately with Jacob and said, "The chances of us surviving are very low, but I believe you have the best qualities to make it."
Jacob's eyes fixed on this man named Takumi as he asked, "Where is the beach?"
Takumi remained silent for a while and then said, "Hitmacher created what most players in Tokyo know as the beach. He knows more than we could have found out on our own."
"That's where they gather and plan together what happens in this place. If you manage to survive, you must carry the 9 of spades card and give it to Hitmacher. With this card and wristband, they won't bother you... Remember, the cards are important, and the game level determines the reward of the days we have left to live... If you win, starting from tomorrow, you'll have nine days, and you'll have to play again to survive."
Takumi's words left Jacob momentarily silent. If the cards serve a purpose, it means that these people from the beach know more about the games.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of that."
...
"Eleventh round completed, congratulations to the players who have survived this round!"
"[Twelfth round is about to begin, twelve players' vests will be activated randomly!]"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom!
Gunshots started to be heard in the distance, warning them that the person who attacked Makumi was getting closer to them.
At this moment, the chances of them being selected for this round were very high, considering the large number of deaths. As time passed, Jacob managed to spot a single corpse in the auditorium that went unnoticed by everyone while they planned how to attack the man dressed in black.
Jacob looked at Usagi and pointed to the body among the seats. She nodded, knowing what he meant, and everyone in the auditorium waited for the last round to begin. At this moment, he slightly regretted not bringing his rifle and vest. That equipment would have been perfect for this test, but considering all the factors involved in each game, it is uncertain when the right moment is to be so well equipped.
"Regardless of the outcome, we will be allies and eliminate that bastard who is attacking other players." Jacob's voice reached the ears of all the participants in the auditorium.
"Yes, we will kill that idiot."
Everyone agreed with Jacob's words and waited, considering the numbers, it was likely that they would be selected in this round based on probability.
Five... Four... Three... Two... One...
"[You have the bomb, pass it to the next player!]"
Jacob's vest lit up in red, as did the vests of the elderly couple, while Usagi's remained green. Makumi was lucky, and his vest stayed green, but the rest of the people's vests turned red.
"What do we do?"
Bang! Bang!
"[Master, that elderly man dressed in black is a skilled soldier, experienced in using weapons, and seems to be trained for war. Please proceed with caution!]"
"What else can we do, kill that damn idiot?" Jacob turned to Usagi and said, "I'll come for the body when there are 2 minutes left. I'll have to hold off the guy who has been eliminating other players to take those two with me."
Usagi understood what Jacob meant and said, "Alright, I'll cover your back from here."
"I like that..." Jacob held Usagi's shotgun and handed her the rifle in return. He took cartridges from his bag and started loading the shotgun's chamber.
Click!
"Makumi, we will kill that idiot while you stay in this place. You'll be a hindrance if you try to do anything else here." Jacob addressed Makumi, and the other two people in his group said, "We'll follow you."
"Then let's go."
"It's better for you to escape. I'm injured, so we might be able to hold him off." Makumi said those words with difficulty.
Jacob stopped and said, "Don't complicate things further. You know what I mean, right?"
Makumi looked at the people in his group and swallowed the words he was about to say. Jacob was right. Only two out of the seven in this room could survive. One is Usagi, and the other is Makumi. Considering the weapons on both sides, it's possible that both will lose if they try to pass the bomb and escape this situation alive.
A few minutes before the final round began, Takumi privately met with Jacob and said, "The chances of us surviving are very low, but I believe you have the best qualities to make it through."
Jacob's eyes focused on this man named Takumi as he asked, "Where is the beach you mentioned?"
Takumi remained silent for a while before saying, "The Hitmacher created what most players in Tokyo know as the beach. That man knows more than we could have found out on our own."
"That's where they gather and plan together what happens in this place. If you manage to survive, you must carry the 9 of spades card and deliver it to Hitmacher. Give him this card, and with this wristband, they won't bother you... Remember, the cards are important, and the game level determines the reward of the days we have left... If you manage to win, starting tomorrow you'll have nine days, and you'll have to play again to survive."
Takumi's words left Jacob momentarily silent. If the cards serve a purpose, it means that these people from the beach know more about the games.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of that."
...
"Eleventh round completed, congratulations to the players who have survived this round!"
"The twelfth round is about to begin, twelve players' vests will be activated randomly!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom!
The gunshots started to be heard in the distance, warning them that the person who attacked Makumi was getting closer. At this moment, the chances of them being selected for this round were high considering the high number of dead players. As time passed, Jacob managed to spot a lone corpse in the auditorium that went unnoticed by everyone while they planned how to attack the man in black.
Jacob looked at Usagi and pointed to the corpse among the seats. She nodded, knowing what he meant, and everyone in the auditorium waited for the final round to begin. At this moment, he slightly regretted not bringing his rifle and vest. That equipment would have been perfect for this test, but considering all the factors involved in each game, he didn't know the right moment to be so well equipped.
"Alright, regardless of the outcome, we'll be allies and eliminate that bastard who's attacking other players." Jacob's voice reached the ears of all the participants in the auditorium.
"Yes, let's kill that idiot."
Everyone agreed with Jacob's words and waited, knowing that statistically, they were likely to be selected in this round. Five... Four... Three... Two... One...
"[You have the bomb, pass it to the next player!]"
Jacob's vest lit up in red, as did the vests of the elderly couple. As for Usagi, her vest remained green. Makumi was lucky, and his vest also remained green, but the rest of the people's vests turned red.
"What do we do?"
Bang! Bang!
"[Master, that old man in black is an experienced soldier. He's skilled in using weapons and seems trained for war. Please proceed with caution!]"
"What else can we do? Kill that damn idiot?" Jacob turned to Usagi and said, "I'll come for the corpse when the minutes reach 2. I'll have to hold back the guy who's eliminating others to take those two with me."
Usagi understood what Jacob meant and replied, "Alright, I'll cover your back from this position."
"That's good." Jacob took Usagi's shotgun and handed her the rifle in return. He took cartridges from his bag and started loading the shotgun's chamber.
Click.
"Makumi, we'll kill that bastard while you stay here. You'll only be a hindrance if you try to do anything else." Jacob addressed Makumi, and the other two people in his group said, "We'll follow you."
"Then let's move."
"It's better for you to escape. I'm injured, so we could hold him off." Makumi said those words with difficulty.
Jacob stopped and told him, "Don't complicate things further. You know what I mean, right?"
Makumi looked at the people in his group and swallowed the words he was about to say. Jacob was right. Only two out of the seven in this room could survive. One was Usagi, and the other was Makumi. Considering the weapons on both sides, it was possible that both would lose if they tried to pass the bomb and escape this situation alive.
