Chapter 168 Unlucky
So what is the situation of Hillman who was talked about by Jiang Hui for a moment?
Unknowingly, nearly seven weeks had passed since the match point, and the time was slightly pulled back to before Jiang Hui and Zhou Xiuwen succeeded in their affair.
After the chaotic war zone gradually dispersed, the surviving freshmen gradually dispersed in the forest and began a hunting game of chasing and hiding.
As time goes by, the batch of materials distributed by the orienteering race is almost used up.
They have no other way to get more supplies except by picking them up from the eliminated ones. Especially the most critical and scarce resources in this event - firearms and bullets. Every shot is used and every shot is lost, and every broken shot is lost.
Some people have a lot of one thing but are pitifully short of another type of resource.
As a result, many people began to form teams, intending to integrate resources or gather manpower to snatch things from other teams.
It’s just that all resources are still being consumed at an unimaginable speed, and nothing can be saved.
Some participating members and even the participating teams are now facing a situation where they are almost out of ammunition and food.
They don’t know where they can get the resources, let alone whether the school will provide them with supplements. But before finding a way to supply resources, the best way is to defeat other people or teams and seize resources from others. This is also the most common thing they have done since entering the game.
So more and more people formed the team. When small teams become the norm on the training ground, those who fight alone will naturally be at a disadvantage.
Once the people forming a team have the advantage of being able to share their "lives", it becomes less difficult to deal with them. It takes a lot of effort to win over any team. Relatively speaking, single scattered targets are much easier to deal with. As long as you shoot down that person, you can get some resources.
So some squads do not fight with other squads or alliances, but instead focus on some individual soldiers fighting alone.
Hillman is one of them, but what he faces is not being targeted and pursued, but being "targeted" in another more sinister sense.
He was really unlucky too.
Actually, his situation was pretty good at the beginning. Like Jiang Hui, he landed in a remote corner from the beginning. It was very secluded and quiet, giving him enough time to sort out his supplies and thoughts.
Then the initial resources on hand are not bad, and I have several firearms as substitutes from the beginning. Among them, there was even a pistol that Jiang Hui had not encountered for so long. The nano-march bag he grabbed was also the largest size. It was more than enough to hold these things, and there was nothing missing.
With his temperament, he will not sit in a corner and wait. After waiting for a while and seeing no prey coming, Hillman left directly.
Along the way, he relied on his extremely good shooting skills and high mental strength level to escape successive crises, score a lot of points, and obtain a lot of resources. No matter how you look at it, he is a seed player.
He never thought that his good luck would end here.
When he ventured into a war zone, Hillman met a classmate with whom he had a fairly good relationship, and he was invited to form a team.
Hillman didn’t think much about it. I just thought about forming a team anyway, either looking for acquaintances or good and reliable teammates. It's just that you can't find the latter easily, and if you find someone, they may not be willing to cooperate with you, so aren't you just looking for an acquaintance? This is how everyone comes here anyway.
So he simply agreed to join this four-person team that was only one person away from forming a team. In addition to the classmate who invited him to be familiar with him on weekdays, there was also a classmate from Class 1 in the team. It's just that he doesn't know the other person very well, so just saying hello is enough. The other two were complete strangers, and the acquaintance who invited him didn't seem to want to introduce them, so he didn't ask.
After that...he was tricked so badly after that.
Hillman thought this classmate was here to add fuel to the fire. After all, the four-person team couldn't find the member who should be part of their team, so wouldn't it be just right when he comes. Unexpectedly...it's not that they haven't found the fifth person, they've been looking for it.
These four people are not fuel-efficient lamps. They were also lurkers who fought alone.
In the past few hours, several people have been striving to get higher points on the field based on their own abilities. Even without the so-called team, they still held on for several hours on the training ground, and even scored a lot of points individually.
It’s just that they are also suffering from dwindling resources, especially the lack of bullets, which makes it difficult for them to move forward.
They gradually realize that traveling alone is not a long-term solution, but they do not want to be bound to others to share resources or even prey. After all, if they really wanted to join the group, they didn't have to wait until now.
But there are more and more teams, and it is still relatively difficult for one person to rob a team of resources. Therefore, they are also somewhat troubled by the current situation.
These people met by chance. I won’t go into the details of the process. It’s not a pleasant process anyway. After a break, a few people temporarily formed a temporary team, which temporarily limited the possibility of the four people attacking each other and eliminated the worries of civil strife.
But they also know that this is just a temporary measure. With less than a quarter of the schedule now, they don't want to be tied up within the team early.
Why are so many people temporarily tied together? Naturally, they have a plan, and they serve a common purpose - resources.
Although they felt that they worked well together, they were still unwilling to include another member to form a real team. Just because in their hearts, as long as they capture enough resources, a few people will separate and go their separate ways at the right time, or even turn their heads and fall out. It is only a transitional period of cooperation now, and naturally there is no need for a fifth member.
So under what circumstances will they accept the fifth member? Of course it's when the knife is sharpened.
The fifth position is the sacrificial position they specially set aside, and all the people who fall into the trap will become their sacrifices.
Unfortunately, Hillman became the unlucky guy. His acquaintance and classmate did not hesitate to trick him in, intending to kill him and plunder his resources. Anyway, forming a team is not impossible. Generally speaking, as long as four people in the team agree to be released, the remaining one can only be expelled. This is also conducive to their not-so-clever conspiracy.
They have used this method on many people before and succeeded, otherwise they would not be able to deceive Hillman here.
So when the incident happened, Hillman was completely confused. Although he reacted quickly, he was completely unable to withstand the siege of the four people.
In order to save his life and the chance of revenge, he had no choice but to leave behind the robbed materials and run away in embarrassment.
His situation took a turn for the worse.
