Chapter 1218: Thrilling
A gust of wind flashed by, Xie Xin only felt a chill on her neck. She didn’t have time to do anything, not even a thought of counterattacking surfaced before she collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
System: [You are dead. In 10 seconds, the exit program will initiate.]
Xie Xin: "???"
Xie Xin wanted to say something, but she found she couldn’t speak at all. In her ’dead’ state, her body was enveloped in a seemingly nonexistent transparent light membrane. This was a defensive measure provided by the arena for each student, only activated after a student’s life has been subjected to a genuinely fatal injury and has been declared dead. One purpose is to ensure the student’s safety, and another is to prevent ’dead’ students from interfering with other students’ normal competition.
While Xie Xin was at a loss, she noticed another ’corpse’ lying beside her, Zhang Wei, who had entered the arena with her.
Zhang Wei’s face also held a bewildered expression.
The two exchanged glances, both showing a hint of confusion in their eyes. Xie Xin opened her mouth and asked her question: "How did you die?"
Even though they were lying side by side, due to the barrier, Xie Xin’s voice couldn’t reach Zhang Wei’s ears. However, most military academy students have special training in lip reading, so Zhang Wei understood what Xie Xin was saying. He shook his head and asked, "How did you die? Do you know who killed you?"
Xie Xin shook her head and said, "I... have no idea how I died. Who? Who killed me?"
The two exchanged glances, then their gaze shifted slightly to the side. They discovered two more ’corpses’ lying not far from them, Xia Bingbing and Yu Cheng. The confusion was mirrored in their eyes as well.
Yu Cheng exclaimed, "Damn! How did I die?"
Xia Bingbing opened her mouth: "Is there an enemy attack?"
