Chapter 318 - 183: Hunting Feast
After sleeping until nine in the evening, the two left the tent rooms. The tent manager refunded part of their deposit, charging 10 points per hour.
"There are so few people." There was no power at the dig site; the headlamps revealed only a handful of players. Lin Wu found it even stranger, "So many people and so long, yet they haven’t completed the parts task?" The machinery was still broken, and so was the lighting.
"56,000 people." Maya looked at the screen, "In just a few hours, 4,000 more have gone."
"Maya." Starlight’s voice came from the side.
The two walked over, only to see Starlight, Fire Dance, Yellow Hair, and Sunlight sneakily hiding behind a truck. Lin Wu asked, "What are you doing? Street photography?"
Starlight beckoned for the two to squat down beside him, "The library was attacked this afternoon."
A tricycle overturned 100 meters outside the library, flinging the rider into the riverbed. The two boxes he was transporting hit the ground, scattering bullets everywhere. The event, witnessed by many, was accompanied by their shouts and screams. Curious players all saw the bullets and swarmed towards the tricycle.
As they were picking up bullets, the tricycle exploded. Many people hadn’t reacted yet and stood between the library and the tricycle in a daze. Three gunmen stepped out of the library’s safe zone and began a one-sided massacre. Surviving players looked for cover, those with bullets and guns started to fight back, but they hadn’t expected that the rider who had fallen into the riverbed and another player would launch an attack from behind them.
It’s not known how many died, but the library’s players, upon realizing what was happening, rushed out to attack the three gunmen 10 meters away. The three gunmen detonated their backpack bombs, causing countless deaths and injuries. A pair of Hunters who had killed dozens more were then hit by players, and before dying, each set off their bombs. Since the players were quite far from them, they were not affected by the explosions.
