Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Annihilation Crisis

“Congratulations.”

Xu Yi extended his hand towards Zhou Mo, he hadn’t expected the one drawn would be Zhou Mo.

“I, I don’t need it, right.” As he spoke, Zhou Mo glanced at Cheng Jie, then at Liu Li.

After spending 14 days together, he genuinely didn’t want either of them to get hurt, let alone die.

Both of them were especially hardworking, and they really gave it their all.

Whenever there was a fight, they were the first to charge forward without any hesitation.

Moreover, whenever they had time and opportunity, they practiced the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening. It’s safe to say, Zhou Mo was moved by their effort.

“This is your luck; you should not refuse.” Cheng Jie remarked, if the result of the draw changed, would it still have meaning?

“Exactly, your sister Liu likes close combat, that feeling is indeed thrilling.” Liu Li also added.

Zhou Mo glanced at Xu Yi and then heard Xu Yi say, “No matter what weapon, it’s just an external aid. Our greatest reliance is still our own strength, so even with this Thunder Strike Gun, you cannot slack off.”

“I understand, I will definitely work hard.” Zhou Mo solemnly promised.

“Xu Yi, Jerry’s group should have about 600 points too, they’re probably discussing exchanging for the Thunder Strike Gun as well.” Cheng Jie glanced over at Jerry’s group and said.

“Yes, likely so, one more gun would be good. This gun is indeed very useful, even if it can’t kill a Fierce Beast in one shot, it can make it easier to handle. But I wonder if team 124 will exchange theirs; if we have four, our chances of reaching the jungle edge increase.” Xu Yi said while looking at the crowd, but the ethos of their alliance was non-interference, so Xu Yi wouldn’t persuade them.

At that moment, Jerry’s group was also drawing lots.

One of the members of group 95 was in charge of preparing the lots, then handed them to Jerry.

Jerry naturally refrained from drawing lots, even though he also wanted to own a Thunder Strike Gun. But for the sake of the entire group’s strength, he had to give it up.

Lavinie, being Jerry’s cousin, was the last to draw lots.

But no one expected that Lavinie would be the one drawn.

Jerry was obviously the happiest about this outcome. For Lavinie to obtain the Thunder Strike Gun was better than him receiving it because Lavinie’s strength was somewhat weaker compared to the two people in team 95.

In matters of luck, there was nothing to blame on others, so Jerry’s group accepted this outcome.

After more than 40 minutes, two Flying Balls arrived.

Everyone was quite surprised, considering Xu Yi’s group had already exchanged for a Thunder Strike Gun. And Jerry’s group hadn’t raised their hands before.

When everyone found out that both groups had obtained Thunder Strike Guns, they were all extremely envious.

The moment Zhou Mo and Lavinie got the Thunder Strike Guns, they immediately chose to bind them, otherwise, if someone snatched them, a fight would ensue.

With two Thunder Strike Guns, Xu Yi’s group immediately attracted countless envious stares.

Even though they hadn’t witnessed the power of the Thunder Strike Guns, Xu Yi’s description made them sound very powerful.

So much so that people couldn’t help inching closer to Xu Yi’s group. Being closer gave a greater sense of security.

Zhou Mo fiddled with the Thunder Strike Gun for a bit, then stored it in his Star Chart Space. He felt more at ease having it there.

After that, everyone sat around to have dinner.

Dinner was jerky; they had only eaten military rations twice, and afterwards, having allied with other teams, they hadn’t touched the rations again. After all, attracting envy and jealousy wasn’t a good thing.

After dinner, before nightfall, it was quite easy to spot two packs of beasts coming from different directions.

Jerry seized the chance, leading his team towards one of the packs.

He wanted to find out the power of the Thunder Strike Gun.

The other pack naturally fell to Xu Yi’s group to deal with.

“Xiao Mo, it’s up to you.” Lu Ke had no intention of intervening, there were only four beasts in total, Zhou Mo could handle them.

“Okay, watch me.” said Zhou Mo, as he took out his Thunder Strike Gun and set it to level three, aiming at one of the beasts.

With a ’ziz’ sound, a blue light struck one of the beasts.

With a boom, that Fierce Beast was blown away.

Seeing this, the crowd became even more envious.

Zhou Mo hadn’t expected the gun to be this powerful.

So, he quickly fired three more shots, taking down the remaining three beasts.

Then, Xu Yi led the charge.

While the Fierce Beasts got back up, they hadn’t started attacking Xu Yi’s group yet when their brains got pierced and their lives ended.

“Too powerful, with the Thunder Strike Gun, dealing with Fierce Beasts is just too easy, we can totally head to the Jungle Area.”

“With these Thunder Strike Guns, the Fierce Beasts are like lambs awaiting slaughter, truly envious. If points could be gifted, that would be fantastic, then we could have even more Thunder Strike Guns.”

“Are you sure that would be good? If points could move between teams, it would definitely turn into a bloodshed situation.”

“I doubt it; look over there, another three packs of Fierce Beasts are coming. Each Thunder Strike Gun has only 20 shots in 26 hours; using them all means waiting another 26 hours. Who knows if we can make it through the night, let alone going to the Jungle Area. What are you thinking?”

Seeing the three packs of Fierce Beasts, Xu Yi’s face suddenly changed.

“Retreat, everyone fall back, the gunshots must have attracted the nearby Fierce Beasts.” Xu Yi shouted, leading the group to run back.

If more Fierce Beasts were drawn in, they might all be wiped out.

The Fierce Beasts attacked quickly, forcing everyone to fight back. After all, humans couldn’t match the speed of Fierce Beasts. If they didn’t take them down, they would catch up soon.

“No way, these beasts’ defenses are too tough, we can’t hurt them at all. Quick, use the Thunder Strike Guns, or there will be casualties.” One of the challengers shouted, their attacks posed no deadly threat to the Fierce Beasts.

“Lu Ke, Zhou Mo.”

Xu Yi called out, signaling them to find opportunities to shoot.

There were 19 Fierce Beasts in total; 12 teams couldn’t handle them all, the Thunder Strike Guns had to be used.

Simultaneously, Lavinie also used her Thunder Strike Gun.

With the three Thunder Strike Guns, the 19 Fierce Beasts were immediately brought down.

Each time a beast was downed, nearby challengers quickly rushed over and killed the Fierce Beasts.

Soon, they had dealt with all 19 Fierce Beasts, but they dared not linger, immediately retreating deeper into the Desert.

After retreating continuously for three hours, they finally stopped.

A shadow hung over everyone’s heart.

With three Thunder Strike Guns, they couldn’t smoothly operate near the jungle’s edge, rather it might draw a large number of Fierce Beasts to surround them.

What to do next was a common problem weighing on everyone’s mind.
