Chapter 116: Setting Sail, a Promised Reunion (Seeking Recommendations!)

Massacring an entire city!

To the spectators, this feat was clearly more shocking than wiping out a single squad. At this moment, K City was a ghost town. It was completely deserted. Aside from a few who had managed to escape or fallen to others, everyone who had landed in K City had been wiped out by Yang Hao alone. Those malicious players not only failed to reap any rewards but had instead completely disqualified themselves from the rest of the match.

Having witnessed the events, those who previously had some understanding of Yang Hao’s strength found that he had once again successfully redefined their perception of his capabilities. It must be noted that those who came to participate in this event were generally not novices. Even the worst among them were still quite capable. Yet, in front of Yang Hao, these people acted as if they were fresh rookies just touching the game for the first time, showing no ability to fight back at all. They weren’t actually weak; it was just that Yang Hao was simply too strong!

After the battle in K City concluded, the live broadcast cut to another location. Xiao Qi, one of the commentators, was distracted. The strength Yang Hao had just displayed had truly stunned him. He never expected that someone not originally on his radar would bring him so many surprises. As a commentator, Xiao Qi himself was an expert player with a solid understanding of the game. Coupled with his long-term career, which gave him access to many top-tier professional players, he had a unique eye for talent. Generally, after a brief observation, he could judge a player’s approximate skill level. But Yang Hao left him feeling somewhat unable to fathom his true depth.

The only thing Xiao Qi could be certain of was that Yang Hao’s reaction time, mechanics, and overall prowess were likely no less than those of an average professional player. As for just how strong he really was, that would require the crucible of live combat to prove.

Having left K City, Yang Hao was unaware that he had already caught the attention of someone. Even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared, for at this moment, he was driving along the coast, searching everywhere for a boat. Right now, nothing was more important than finding a boat to pick up Lin Ziqing. In this world, aside from one's parents, one's wife was the most important thing of all. This was undoubtedly the heartfelt sentiment of a man who doted on his wife.

In the game, while vehicle spawns had relatively fixed locations, it mostly depended on luck. After all, the randomness of this game was immense. Having driven a short distance along the coastline without finding a boat, Yang Hao began to feel anxious. Suddenly, gunfire erupted ahead. Upon hearing the shots, a bad feeling stirred in Yang Hao’s heart. At this time, and from that specific location, the sudden gunfire was clearly abnormal. Yang Hao kept driving, intending to investigate. Even if he hadn't been curious, he couldn't turn back. To find a boat, he had to press forward!

In the next instant, when Yang Hao saw the actions of the group where the gunfire originated, his fury flared. A short distance away from him on the beach, there was a boat. Normally, seeing a boat would have made Yang Hao feel excited and eager. But at this moment, his heart was filled only with murderous intent. Because the boat on the shore was already billowing with thick, black smoke. Simultaneously, on the adjacent beach, two people were holding their rifles, muzzles flashing as bullets flew toward the smoking vessel. There was no doubt that their behavior was grating on Yang Hao’s nerves.

"Stop!" Yang Hao roared in anger, though the others could not hear him. The next moment, he jumped out of the vehicle and pulled out the Kar98K he had previously scavenged. Instantly, he aimed down the sights. He flicked his crosshair, locking onto one of their heads.

Bang!

He fired a shot! As the smoke cleared, a spray of blood erupted from the man's head.

"Tomato_YoyoWoXin used Kar98K to headshot knock down RedFlag_LittleDwarfTree!"

As the notification refreshed, one of them collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach. The sudden turn of events caught them off guard! While his teammate was being knocked down, the other man, who had been gleefully shooting the boat, was drenched in a cold sweat. Just then, the last bullet from his rifle struck the hull of the boat on the beach.

Boom!

With a massive roar, the already battered boat exploded in a flash of fire. In an instant, the vessel was completely destroyed. Just as the man hurriedly switched to his other rifle to retaliate against Yang Hao, the latter had already finished cycling the bolt of his Kar98K.

Bang!

Another Kar98K bullet roared out! As this bullet, filled with rage, tore through the man’s helmet, Yang Hao felt no joy. He stared at the boat, which was still engulfed in flames, his face ashen. Meanwhile, the broadcast production crew had noticed the commotion on Yang Hao’s side and immediately cut the feed to him as soon as the previous engagement ended. The viewers only caught the final headshot.

As the audience cheered for Yang Hao in the live chat, the camera shifted, locking onto the boat that had just been destroyed. The anomaly of the boat began to draw attention. With just a little thought and the scene before them, everyone could deduce what had just happened.

"Damn, who the hell is so heartless, shooting a boat?"
"Heh, I don't even have to guess who it is."
"Sigh, is it really necessary for them to go that far?"
"Brother Hooligan must be furious right now!"
"Damn it, I'm pissed off too."
"What exactly did Goddess Ziqing do to make those people target her so relentlessly?"
"Heh, the work of petty minds..."

Discussions surged. The actions of those players made the viewers feel quite disgusted. If they had the ability, they should have fought fairly; even if they lost, no one would mock them. After all, everyone knew what kind of existence their opponent was. However, the repeated underhanded tactics of certain people were met with utter contempt.

After killing those two, Yang Hao did not linger, continuing to drive along the coastline to search. Killing was no longer his objective. Having missed that boat, it took Yang Hao quite a while to spot another one in a different location. However, by now, the blue zone had already started to close in. Faced with this, Yang Hao did not hesitate, driving wildly to the beach. He successfully sat in the driver's seat of the boat, started the engine, and looked toward the direction of the spawn island.

Set sail!

...

Spawn island. The toxic mist had slowly covered the area, and a beautiful figure stood on the shore. The overwhelming poison mist continuously eroded her health, causing her bar to drop steadily. Whenever her health dipped below the safety line, she would take a bandage from her backpack and apply it, recovering a bit of health. But the damage from the mist was persistent, and before long, the health she had regained would drop once more. At that point, she would pull out another bandage...

While repeating these actions, her gaze remained fixed on a certain direction in the vast, boundless sea.

Would he appear on time?
