"You have eliminated Number 7, the next target is Number 6."
Bai Ye waved his hand casually, and the Thunder Fang Fierce Beast transformed back into a slime and merged into Bai Ye's body.
Bai Ye did not stop, he quickly moved to the side, then entered a safety passage and went all the way up to the top floor of the mall.
This was a recreational area.
There was a skate park, a basketball court, a small climbing wall, and even a zip line.
Bai Ye went directly to the zip line area, paid the money, and attached himself to the zip line.
Before entering the mall, Bai Ye had already planned his route. Although the zip line was eye-catching, it was difficult to determine who was on the zip line without identifying them in advance.
Secondly, the rooftop entertainment facilities were numerous, and more people meant...
More hostages!
At the same time, on the other side of the zip line was the rooftop of a restaurant. Entering the restaurant from the rooftop also meant many people, which naturally meant...
More hostages!
However, Bai Ye was lucky.
To be precise, it was San Shang Zhi Er's Mist Shadow Technique that helped. The hunters' vision was obscured, and they didn't see where Bai Ye left from. They were still searching the mall for Bai Ye.
Riding the zip line to the other side, Bai Ye untied the rope, then entered the restaurant and left through the back door.
...
About an hour later.
Bai Ye appeared in a private room in a hotel.
The TV was broadcasting the news of San Shang Zhi Er's death. The number of wanted criminals had decreased from nine to eight, but Bai Ye was not mentioned. The credit was attributed to the hunters.
This was understandable, as the nine participants were simultaneously playing the roles of both wanted criminals and pursuers.
Bai Ye's next target was a man named Chen Fa.
Unfortunately, the robot Bai Ye picked up had no information about Chen Fa. In fact, not only Chen Fa's, but Bai Ye's and Li Jia Yi's intelligence information was also gone.
This was because both of them had successfully shaken off the hunters and were not being continuously tracked.
The only one whose tracking information was still available was Garrison Dale.
This guy was really resilient. It had been almost five hours since he entered the Wish Mission, and he still hadn't shaken off the hunters.
So, the term "small fry" was not said lightly. The situation was as Bai Ye had predicted.
Hunting in dangerous areas could indeed indicate a certain level of strength, but it didn't represent overall strength.
Take Bai Ye's current situation, for example. If he returned to Umbrella Corporation's dangerous area, he could easily kill zombies without any difficulty, but his hunting count would increase dramatically.
But, was that meaningful?
It was actually not very meaningful. Their strength was not a match, and even if he obtained something, it would be of no use to Bai Ye.
Of course, this example was a bit extreme. No one would be so bored as to hunt for the sake of hunting, without seeking any rewards.
However, from San Shang Zhi Er's strength, it could be seen that this guy had been active in dangerous areas for a long time. Therefore, his hunting count was high, but his strength was average.
It couldn't be said to be bad, but he was only one level stronger than an ordinary selected person.
In Bai Ye's opinion, if San Shang Zhi Er were to use a prefix like "third-rate" or "second-rate," he could barely be called a master.
However, from another perspective, Dale also had some ability to escape for five hours without being eliminated.
Unfortunately, Dale was Number 4, and his pursuer was Lansgar. Bai Ye would have to eliminate Numbers 5 and 6 before he could pursue Dale. Currently, Dale's whereabouts were useless to Bai Ye.
Of course, Bai Ye still hoped that this guy could hold on a bit longer, at least until he eliminated two more small fries, and then he would go find him.
As Bai Ye pondered this, he lay down on the bed, leaving Gu Ghost on guard duty, and began to rest.
The first day of the Wish Mission, there was no need to rush.
But while Bai Ye was not in a hurry, others were.
Night fell, and Bai Ye had fallen into a deep sleep. However, in his dream, he felt a wetness on his face. He barely opened his eyes and saw Gu Ghost's huge face almost touching his eyes, constantly licking him with its large tongue.
Combined with the dim light, Bai Ye was almost scared to death. Gu Ghost's face at midnight was indeed too frightening.
After waking Bai Ye up, Gu Ghost quickly floated to the window and opened the curtains.
"Huh?"
Bai Ye came to the window and looked outside, then saw a large flock of bats flying around.
"Prince's Servant?" Bai Ye exclaimed, "Did Hamir come this quickly?"
Bai Ye casually picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, then saw a news report stating that three wanted criminals had been killed.
They were Wei Zhu Xie (Number 9), Lansgar (Number 3), and Garrison Dale (Number 4).
Bai Ye was stunned. He had just slept for a while, and the situation had changed so drastically?
Wei Zhu Xie was dead...
Bai Ye really hadn't expected this.
Although in his past life, Wei Zhu Xie was at most between second-rate and first-rate in skill, he had followed Situ Chi Cheng and had a considerable reputation. He came from a Xianxia world, had a good foundation, and had an advantage upon entering the world battlefield.
As a result...
In just over ten hours, he had been defeated by Hamir?
And it was somewhat understandable that Wei Zhu Xie couldn't defeat Hamir.
What about Lansgar and Garrison Dale?
Lansgar's skill level was also one tier lower than Bai Ye, Li Jia Yi, and Hamir, but he was still a well-known figure. Bai Ye had hoped he would cause some trouble for Li Jia Yi, but he was also gone?
Dale was Number 4, a small fry who had been chased by hunters for five hours. How could he have eliminated Lansgar?
And why were Lansgar and Dale eliminated at the same time?
Lansgar shouldn't have been able to attack Dale...
*Snap!*
As Bai Ye thought of this, he couldn't help but slap his forehead.
Lansgar had eliminated Dale.
Lansgar couldn't eliminate Dale, otherwise Lansgar would be eliminated, directly disqualified. In the Wish Mission, the hunters would have directly declared Lansgar dead.
However, Lansgar had no interest in this Wish Mission and didn't intend to spend much time on it.
Dale, that guy, had exposed his whereabouts and had been chased for several hours.
Therefore, Lansgar directly eliminated Dale and was himself eliminated.
This was the only possible scenario that could lead to this situation, as it was highly unlikely that Dale could eliminate Lansgar and then be eliminated by a Number 5 small fry.
What does it mean when plans don't keep up with changes?
This is it!
Bai Ye was speechless. His plan had gone slightly wrong from the start.
"However, it's not a big problem."
Bai Ye licked his lips. He had already calculated the possibility that the reward he received would be good for him but bad for others.
From a positive perspective, there were two fewer opponents vying for the reward.
Bai Ye didn't know if others would profit, but he felt he wasn't at a loss.
