Ye Yuan heard this and moved toward the center of the room in three quick strides.
Tang Shifu immediately understood and reopened the door that had been slightly closed to block shrapnel.
From this position, he could see clearly into the room behind the door, and together with the next door, formed a straight line.
Ye Yuan saw the back of a man.
The man was fleeing in a hurry, naturally not bothering to close the door.
To block Mo Cha’s pursuit, he threw another grenade on the ground, relying on his High-speed Regeneration ability to endure the risk of shrapnel!
The distance was about three or four standard square room lengths apart, no more than a hundred meters total—well within the range of a pistol.
“Fire!”
The compressed air bullet formed an invisible stream, crossing nearly a hundred meters, and hit the man square in the back!
Having landed the shot, Ye Yuan didn’t immediately lower his pistol and stop aiming.
Instead, he aimed again at the man’s fallen body.
Although Ye Yuan had complicated feelings toward Mo Cha and Tang Shifu, he had to admit these two teammates were extremely strong in both skill and coordination—top-tier among players.
Even the combined efforts of Mo Cha and Tang Shifu couldn’t take down this person easily. There had to be something exceptional about him.
Thinking about the earlier assault rifle sounds, it was highly likely he had some life-saving item or a defensive-type Talent.
One second.
Two seconds.
Sure enough, the man climbed back to his feet!
Bang!
Ye Yuan fired a second shot, hitting the back of the man’s head!
The pistol’s power was far lower than an assault rifle.
This time, no body fragments flew off, but the bullet had already destroyed the man’s brain.
Thud.
The second grenade exploded at that moment.
Mo Cha heard the sound of Ye Yuan’s pistol and the second grenade blast, and knew the man had been taken care of.
She sent a private message and got a “1” from Ye Yuan.
Only then did she enter a state of caution, reminding her three teammates that she would go check alone and not to accidentally shoot.
Then she passed through the door.
A few bang bang bang sounds came through.
Mu Bai and the others knew this was finishing moves on the corpse, so they had no worried reaction.
Finishing off was a good habit.
Keep it up.
Mu Bai turned to look at Luo Huang.
At this moment, Luo Huang was sitting on the ground, clutching her abdomen, her face twisted in pain, a fine layer of sweat on her forehead.
Anyone who didn’t know might have thought she was giving birth.
However, Mu Bai could smell the rusty odor of blood—strong and thick.
Luo Huang didn’t have Mu Bai’s exceptional pain tolerance.
What she was feeling now was the full hundred-percent agony of a gunshot wound.
Moreover, the bullet had struck the lower abdomen, the area with the densest nerve endings. Without any pain relief, for Luo Huang, it was no different from childbirth.
She had already taken medicine and used pressure to stop the bleeding, but she had no healing items.
An injury like this would be hopeless for an ordinary player.
Even for elite players, only a very lucky few could obtain healing items.
A bullet entering the abdominal cavity—even a relatively low-power model and caliber—was fatal in the Survival Game.
Even if the Train was upgraded to Level 4 with a Medical Room equipped with basic surgical tools and hemostatic/antibiotic medicines, she would still be a burden to the team.
It wasn’t just a matter of keeping her in the train.
The Trial Station still required bringing people out, essentially adding a huge deadweight.
Moreover…
Luo Huang didn’t have teammates to take care of her. She was a solo player.
Mu Bai didn’t bother collecting the Train Coins on the ground. Instead, she approached and asked, “What’s the situation with your injury?”
Mu Bai hadn’t looked closely at Luo Huang’s injury before. She only knew she was hurt because the cloth on her abdomen was stained red.
But she didn’t know how severe it was.
Since Luo Huang had seemed fine at the time—able to talk and move normally—Mu Bai had subconsciously assumed it wasn’t serious.
Unexpectedly, just two minutes later, she had collapsed on the ground, unable to even stand.
If it had been a knife or arrow wound, ordinary medicine could slowly heal it, and the current Trading Market had some items that helped wound closure. At worst, it would affect movement within the station, but life wouldn’t be in danger.
But seeing her now, it was probably a gunshot.
A bullet entering the body creates a cavity.
The destructive force to body structures was far greater than ordinary arrows, swords, or other cold weapons.
“Save me… I can’t move now…”
Luo Huang’s voice was weak, with a slight tremble.
Her lips were pale, drained of color.
This wasn’t an ordinary station. She couldn’t force herself to return to the train.
She had to complete the task of reaching the finish line.
Earlier, when she asked for help, she hadn’t realized how much her gunshot wound would affect her.
She only thought walking with Mu Bai’s group would be safer.
Now she realized that injured, she would become a burden. Whether they would accept her was uncertain.
“…Mu Bai remained silent.”
She didn’t answer, only saying to save her. It was clear her guess was correct—the injury was serious.
As someone raised in modern society, Mu Bai emotionally wanted to help.
She had no grudge against Luo Huang.
They had a good rapport.
And Luo Huang was one of the few players she’d met in the station who wasn’t hostile.
But relying solely on emotion wouldn’t lead to the right decision.
Mu Bai was weighing the pros and cons rationally.
“My, my Talent is very powerful. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have survived under so many people’s pursuit… and escaped here to meet you.”
Noticing Luo Huang’s emotions were off, Ye Yuan, who had been standing nearby, casually touched the pistol at his waist.
Without letting Luo Huang see.
“Tell me what your Talent is,” Mu Bai asked.
“I…”
Luo Huang hesitated.
A Talent was the most important information about a player.
Especially hers—half its strength depended on the information gap.
She had hidden it for too long. Even her previous teammates only knew the basics.
Combined with the pain and blood loss clouding her thoughts, Luo Huang couldn’t immediately weigh the pros and cons and froze.
Mu Bai sighed.
She had wanted to see if Luo Huang could become a teammate.
If the other party had directly revealed her Talent, trust could be given. But now that she hesitated, even if she finally showed it, the value would be diminished.
Besides, Mu Bai’s own teammate relationships weren’t entirely settled yet.
“Here’s the deal. I have a potion that can heal your injury, but these Train Coins don’t count as payment.”
“Good! Thank you…”
“Don’t thank me yet. Listen. You know that the difficulty of the stations has been increasing. The frequency of Trial Stations seems to be increasing too. The rate at which players are being consumed is only getting faster…”
