Player Reload

"Ho ho."

After dozens of rounds of fighting, several players on the beach were almost exhausted.

Leonardo's head was bruised and bleeding, the corners of his eyes and cheeks were swollen from the impact, and the skin of his right hand was scratched, revealing the mechanical prosthesis inside. I had to rest while holding on to the TV screen of the robotic arm, breathing heavily.

Will was covered in blood as the enhanced glands in his body worked hard to release healing factors, causing the wounds to scab.

The tenacity of both sides has exceeded the expectations of the other side, and now they are unable to dismount.

‘Then, it’s the last ball. ’

Will, who still had the lowest number of votes, said silently in his heart, his swollen and painful eyes glanced at the electronic scoreboard and TV screen hanging on the wall again.

The big score was one to one, and the score in the third round was 16:15. There were still forty seconds left before the end of this round of reality show.

This situation is actually the result of joint manipulation by both parties - in theory, the team that wins the game will continue to face the two players who have been watching the game and are in full condition.

Therefore, after Will and others on the field determined that they could not solve each other in a short time, they had to prolong the game until the end of the round.

In this way, even if Xingying has malicious intentions, he cannot take advantage of the setting of "players can openly attack each other" in beach volleyball to eliminate competitors.

"are you OK?"

Leonardo stood up straight and glanced at Anne behind him. She was also covered in bruises and the gravel under her feet was soaked in blood.

"I can't die." Annie, with a large piece of scalp missing and a disfigured face, spat blood on the ground with fierce eyes.

"At first, I thought you were just a woman with nothing but selfishness. I was wrong. If you can get out of here alive, may I buy you a drink?"

Leonardo said with a smile, "Maybe have a meal or watch a movie."

"Don't talk nonsense," Annie pursed her lips, feeling inexplicably moved in her heart.

Due to the extremely high mortality rate and huge survival pressure among the player community, many people will find time to indulge their desires while exercising and strengthening themselves. Some small guilds will even regularly hold exchange meetings with heroes similar to those in the American TV series "Black Robe Pickets".

Of course, there will also be true love among the players, who will struggle to survive and embrace each other for warmth in the death spiral of the killing field. It's just that the number is relatively rare, just like protected animals.

"You two are really well matched. One is shameless, and the other is sinister and despicable."

Will mocked, took a deep breath, and all the glands in his body started working together.

Adrenaline, released.

Central analgesic, infusion.

Sympathomimetic amines, instilled.

Behind him, Jin Huiying also released a buffing skill to increase his physical energy, making his disordered heart rhythm become surging and powerful, roaring like a car engine.

Will picked up the volleyball and dunked with all his strength.

boom!

The force of this blow was so great that the skin of Will's right arm exploded, revealing the pale bones. The volleyball itself headed straight for Leonardo like a cannonball.

There was no way to avoid it, no way to retreat, but Leonardo raised the corners of his mouth slightly and released his skills.

[Skill name: Transposition]

[Type: Psychic]

[Grade: Excellent]

[Release method: active]

[Special effect: friendly troops are out of position. After a one-second delay, swap places with a friendly target stained with the caster's fresh blood, causing them to take reduced damage for the next three seconds. The friendly target must be a living creature, its favorability must be friendly or above, and the weight and mass difference between the target and the skill caster must be within plus or minus 20%. 】

[Consumption: At least 200 points of spiritual power. The details depend on the transmission distance, the weight of both parties, the favorability of both parties, and the current spiritual power value of both parties]

[Cooling time: 10 minutes]

[Note: Friendly troops are in trouble and remain motionless. When the enemy attacks, they move in like the wind]

This skill is Leonardo's most important life-saving skill. He had secretly spilled his blood on the ground before and was stepped on by Annie.

After that, he used words, helped heal wounds, etc. to gain favor, and he could use this skill on "ally" Anne.

Sudden——

A gust of breeze blew by, and Leonardo and Anne swapped places instantly.

Seeing the volleyball getting bigger and bigger in her sight, Annie had no time to react.

boom!

The volleyball hit her chest firmly, denting her entire chest, and the crackling sound of her ribs breaking was like popping beans.

Annie spat out a large mouthful of blood, her whole expression twisted ferociously, and she flew backwards and fell to the ground. Due to the damage reduction effect of transposition, she did not die immediately. He just stared at Leonardo with his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.

This sudden change made Will on the other side confused.

Leonardo reacted quickly and pulled out the volleyball, which was steaming and covered with minced meat, from Annie's chest.

Then he picked up Annie and took her away from the court, crying and shouting: "Annie, my Annie, why are you doing this?! Why are you sacrificing yourself to protect me! There are only two minutes left in the game. "

"What two minutes? Isn't this round already over?"

Little Red Riding Hood was at a loss, but Li Sheng noticed it, walked to the front of the TV screen, and peeled off a thin flexible screen at the corner of the screen.

This soft screen was secretly pasted by Leonardo under the guise of taking a break. The numbers displayed on it just replaced the countdown on the screen and did not affect the passing of the barrage.

With the help of scientific and technological achievements obtained from the killing field, the technical level of European Heavy Industry is no less than that of the Demon Scientists Alliance. This thin soft screen is no different from a small toy.

Of course, in order to avoid the time difference being too much for people to see, Leonardo just slightly accelerated the countdown.

Two minutes is enough for the ants and Little Red Riding Hood, who have never taken action and have sufficient physical and spiritual power, to crush Will and Jin Huiying, who are exhausted.

Leonardo hugged Annie and cried bitterly, pretending to wipe away his tears, but in fact, he winked at Li Sheng in a position that the camera could not see.

He was not worried at all that the ants would not take action. This was a business that was completely profitable for them.

Annie was seriously injured and dying. If she could kill Will and Jin Huiying again, it would basically be equivalent to announcing that the game was about to end.

As for Leonardo himself, the audience did not know that he released the [Transfer] skill, and thought that Annie sacrificed herself to protect her lover and took the initiative to exchange positions. At that time, he would add more sympathy votes to him.

Leonardo lowered his head in grief, covered his face with one hand and cried, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, everything was in his plan.

"Hahahahahaha."

Will was quick-witted, and the moment he saw the soft screen, he vaguely guessed what was going on. He laughed in anger, stared at Leonardo and said: "Brilliant! Calculate the enemy, calculate the teammates, and even calculate yourself. I'm afraid that's how you got your title [Blood Diamond]?"

"I don't understand what you are saying." Leonardo shook his head, and at the same time desperately winked at Li Sheng, asking him to act as soon as possible.
