Chapter 105, Falling into a Volcano
Chapter 105, Falling into a Volcano
Huang Wenmin's face grew increasingly gloomy. Lin Yue's attack had cost him at least half of his men.
"Min, Brother Min, what should we do? Should we keep chasing them?" A henchman stepped forward tremblingly and asked.
Huang Wenmin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Chase!"
After saying that, he didn't forget to encourage the others: "Don't worry, Lin Yue is lucky to have even drawn one of these weapons, there's no way she'll get another one. She's already brought out something of this caliber, she must be out of options now. As long as we catch up with her, all her stuff and points will be ours!"
Lin Yue was known for her wealth in the Seventh District. Huang Wenmin's pep talk calmed the previously scattered morale of the people.
"Then... what about those people?" One of the underlings looked reluctant, his finger trembling as he pointed to his comrades in front of him, who were blown to pieces.
Huang Wenmin's brows furrowed deeply, forming a deep "川" shape, and a flash of extreme impatience crossed his eyes. If it weren't for the need to bolster their image and use these people as cannon fodder, he wouldn't have even given such weaklings a second glance before!
However, they were still useful at this moment. Thinking of this, Huang Wenmin suppressed his annoyance, carefully considered his words, and then spoke in a low voice: "They...they are already dead, but after being companions for so long, I don't want their points and belongings. You can divide them among yourselves!"
His tone seemed calm, but the meaning was clear. In his eyes, these people lying on the ground, barely alive, were nothing more than surplus value that could be reused, and he was inciting his henchmen to kill them.
"This……"
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? They're comrades, after all!"
Several of the underlings looked troubled upon hearing this, their eyes showing hesitation and struggle. But they were quickly interrupted rudely by someone next to them: "I think Brother Min is right. They're already doomed. If we let them stay here to die, that'll all be Lin Yue's spoils, and she'll pocket all the loot. Are you willing to do that?"
"Of course not!" someone replied immediately without hesitation.
"That's settled then. Since Brother Min has spoken, let's go! We're all brothers, so it's not a waste if he gives it to us!"
How kind could someone be who followed Huang Wenmin to kill and plunder? Now, after being slightly incited, their greed and selfishness completely took over, and they charged towards their former companions like hungry wolves.
Huang Wenmin stood still, having already calculated this situation. These people wouldn't have many points, since in the past, after the hunt, Brother Zhao would always deliver the final blow, and the points would all go to him. Once they split up, he would be the one reaping the points.
Even their supplies weren't exactly plentiful. When he first started bidding against Lin Yue for upgrade stones, he had done a thorough analysis and knew their situation inside and out.
That's why he's so generous in offering this small benefit; only in this way will his remaining underlings be more devoted to serving him.
The massacre lasted only a few minutes.
Those seriously injured people lying on the ground were already powerless to fight back. Faced with the sharp blades of their former comrades, their last bit of strength was to use all their might to curse loudly, or to force themselves to record a video with their wristbands and post it in the local chat, hoping to let more people see Huang Wenmin's ugly face.
At this point, most players who didn't want to participate in the fight had found hiding places and, out of boredom, kept staring at the public chat to watch the excitement. When they saw someone posting a video in the area chat, they immediately clicked on it.
A moment later:
"What the hell, what is this for?"
"The Mighty Team is killing each other?"
"Holy crap, I recognize this guy. Isn't he Huang Wenmin's top lackey? He's just gone like that?"
"I heard that man cursing. These people were just friends a moment ago! Now that someone's injured, they just attack?"
"Holy crap, this has completely shattered my moral compass."
Seeing that the Mighty Team had caused trouble again, Zhou Zeyang quickly seized the opportunity to speak up: "The Mighty Team members are still not clear-headed. You are nothing but cannon fodder for Zhao Yuxuan and Huang Wenmin! If anything happens, let your underlings rush to the front. If you get hurt, kill your underlings in the shadows!"
Zhao Lei: "Wow, people actually dare to follow this kind of 'big brother'? They'd be too ashamed to die!"
Xu Tiantian: "Scumbag!"
Han Weiyi quickly added fuel to the fire: "Yes, yes, yes, little brother of the Mighty Team, remember to seek revenge on Huang Wenmin when you become a ghost!"
Huang Wenmin was furious when he saw these messages. He sneered and replied in the public chat: "They were all blown up by Lin Yue. If you want revenge, go after Lin Yue first!"
After saying this, he angrily turned off the bracelet screen, then turned to look at his underlings who were dividing up their companions, and shouted impatiently, "Are you guys done yet? Hurry up, we need to chase after them!"
While Huang Wenmin led a group of people on a frantic and noisy sprint toward the top of the volcano, Lin Yue's situation was far from the leisurely and carefree one that everyone in the regional chat had imagined.
She... fell! She fell onto the magma inside the volcano!
Just moments ago, she stood still, hearing the booming sound of the "potato mine" exploding, accompanied by the ground shaking. She initially thought it was just an illusion caused by the powerful sound waves from the explosion, but unexpectedly, in the next second, the ground, which had only cracked slightly, seemed to be ripped open by an invisible giant hand, with a "whoosh," revealing a huge gash.
The hole was bottomless, and Lin Yue didn't have time to react at all before she fell straight down without warning.
Even elementary school students know that the inside of a volcano is filled with molten lava. Lin Yue felt her vision suddenly turn completely red, as if she were about to melt in that intense heat.
Fortunately, the cooldown period for Sky Wings had already ended. Lin Yue was only stunned for a second during the fall before reflexively spreading her wings.
With a "whoosh," she finally managed to stabilize herself in place.
However, regaining her footing didn't mean the crisis was over. Almost instantly, Lin Yue felt the temperature around her was on a completely different level from above; the scalding heat felt like needles, instantly enveloping her tightly.
