When Hull walked back to the building, not only the viewers who were watching the live broadcast on the dark web, but also the "Supreme Ones" wearing beast masks were shocked.

Since the "Killing Spree" has been held, there has never been a precedent of "prey voluntarily returning after escaping from a certain area"; the guy who just chased Hull with a chainsaw had already taken it for granted and passed through the building behind the building a few minutes ago. The secret passage led to other locations.

This time, Hull made a time difference and came to a place where there was no ambush.

After Hull ran back to the first floor of the building, he walked with the soles of his feet on the ground, walked over the remaining triangular nails on the ground, and quickly passed through a corridor.

Due to the layout of the building, those rooms above the second floor and facing east are not exposed to moonlight at this time, but there are several rooms on the first floor that can be illuminated; those rooms that Hull went to room.

Abandoned buildings like this are mostly visited by homeless people or drug addicts and used as residences by them, and these people usually choose to live on the first floor.

One of the reasons is that many of them have a certain degree of disability, and those who are not disabled are also in poor health, so climbing stairs is naturally avoided if possible.

The second reason... Anyone who has been homeless all year round knows that no place is "safe" for homeless people. They are all abandoned by society, people who "will not attract any attention even if they disappear suddenly"... delirious drunkards, gangsters in a bad mood, perverted murderers, federal police officers, colleagues, etc. Wait, there are too many things that can bring them danger. If you are unlucky, you may be beaten, robbed, caught, tortured or killed while lying down... Therefore, choosing to live on the first floor will at least make it easier to escape if you encounter some kind of accident.

At this moment, Hull's purpose of returning was to find some items left behind by the homeless people on the first floor.

There is no doubt that homeless people also have "legacy". Before they die of hunger, disease or other causes of death that only God knows, they will more or less hoard some "useful things" where they live. Of course... what seems useful to them is probably just rubbish to us.

Empty bottles, old clothes, tattered sofas, cracked mirrors, expired shampoo, unused paper towels...

What Hull wants now is something similar. He must use everything he can to survive this extremely unfair escape; and compared to the woods outside, finding something useful in this building The probability of something is obviously higher.

Five minutes later, Hull completed the search - by the moonlight, he found a pocket knife, an iron pipe more than one meter long, a relatively clean plastic water bottle with a lid, a dirty A worn but not holey fanny pack and a half-used roll of tape.

After finding these things, Hull left immediately and ran into the woods again; although he generally guessed that the person who was chasing him just now probably didn't expect that he would come back to search, he was not sure whether the other person was. Having already left, there is no way of knowing whether the other party will come back again.

The only thing Hull can be sure of is that in this show, he must be monitored by cameras in the dark in most cases, so the wisest thing to do is not to stay in any place for too long.

After running into the woods, Hull walked for a while and came to a place he had never been before. He stopped and used the tape he just found to treat his wounds.

At this moment, he didn't have time to think about hygiene and ventilation issues. In short, he just had to plug up all the wounds to prevent them from tearing again during the operation; considering that the injection given by the judge had already stopped most of the wounds for him. It removes blood from the wound and avoids the risk of infection. It should not be a big problem to deal with it in a short period of time.

Having dealt with the imminent injury problem, Hull set out again.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and the moonlight shines through the tree shades, lighting up the hazy road ahead.

As Hel moved forward, he was also paying attention to whether there were any clues left by the "Supreme Ones" around him; to his surprise... there were indeed them, and there were many of them.

As mentioned before, in terms of layout and production rigor, "Killing Carnival" is far inferior to "Judgment Show". If the Judge's team is a group of RTS e-sports players who can control the situation to the second, Those guys who call themselves the "Supreme Ones" are ordinary players who play krypton gold mobile games.

When the conditions are unequal, it is not difficult for ordinary people to deal with ordinary people: one side has comprehensive surveillance by cameras, is very familiar with the environment, has numerical advantages, equipment advantages, and psychological advantages... the other side is in darkness In a strange and unknown environment, the psychological state is of being hunted, helpless and panicked.

Such a killing showdown must be a unilateral "carnival" of the former.

But today, an alien appeared on the show... With the help of the judge, Hull's heart has broken away from the category of "ordinary people". Not only did he suppress his fear, but he was not blinded by anger. When observing and thinking with a relatively calm attitude...it is easy to find many flaws - footprints, indentations from heavy objects, tire marks from off-road motorcycles, dents from ladder legs, etc., when these things appear In the line of sight, it is a matter of course to find the camera position and the specific locations of various traps.

One thing to say, the traps set by the "Supreme One" are indeed worthy of praise...large animal traps, pits full of steel nails, and foot ropes made of barbed wire...are all quite vicious. The gadgets are well hidden, and it is not difficult to guess that there are professionals in setting traps among them; however, near each hidden trap, there are several poorly hidden cameras and a large number of arrangements. The traces left by these cameras. Although it is understandable that they want to shoot "shots of the target being harmed by traps" from multiple angles, this approach is indeed too amateurish.

In this way, Hull escaped one trap after another and walked for a long time without encountering any obstacles.

This... undoubtedly caught the "Supreme Ones" off guard.

You know, while Hull was escaping efficiently, the other captured "prey" were trapped in various traps, injured, wailing, and crying... and then were killed by one or more people wearing masks and holding weapons. The "Supreme One" was played and killed like a toy, and two of them had already died.

At the moment, although Hull is the last "prey" to "wake up" and set off tonight, he has become the closest person to the edge of the "hunting area". This is definitely what the "Supreme Ones" do not want to see. of.

You know, since the "Killing Spree" started, there has never been an example of a "real prey" successfully escaping... not a single one.

Although they will say in every issue that "those who successfully escape will receive a large bonus," this is just saying that. The "Supreme Ones" have never thought of letting the "prey" go, let alone giving it to them. "Prey" money.

Every time they see someone trying to escape, they will temporarily change their odds and launch a mad chase to earn more money online.

Of course, if you keep doing this, you will be seen through, so they have found someone to "act" a few times, that is, letting a mercenary who has colluded with them pretend to be the "prey" and follow the tips and routes they gave in advance. To escape, they pretended to be like usual and launched a crazy pursuit before the target was about to escape, but in the end they still allowed him to escape in a thrilling manner.

Afterwards, they will also publish the proof of the transfer to the "survivor" on the website, and promote what a good life the other party lived after receiving the money... In this way, the audience (at least some) will believe that, There are real people who have escaped from a "killing spree" and received bonuses.

But in fact...those "fake preys" are just acting on commission.

In addition, "the rule that only one person can get money after escaping" is also for the convenience of them to control the results; because in the early days of the program, there were many "prey" who joined forces to escape after encountering each other, which gave " The "Supreme Ones" have brought certain obstacles when killing their prey. After all, when there are more people, they will become bolder and more difficult to deal with... But after adding this rule, the "prey" have to be wary of each other. Always pay attention to whether you will be stabbed in the back, especially when you are about to escape. The greed in human nature will inevitably change people's minds - as long as you give your companions a sap before escaping, even if they don't kill them If the other party just knocks him out and waits for death, then he has a high chance of getting a huge bonus. Compared to being chased and tortured for nothing all night, and then returning to his original gloomy life... This kind of temptation is indeed It's so big that few people won't think about it when things happen.

However, Hull was acting alone tonight. He didn't have to think about that. He just had to escape on his own.

As the "Supreme One", there are two choices at this moment: First, give up chasing Hull, and simply let the other "prey" go, so that they can say, "Because two people escaped, no one can take it." Less than the bonus”; but this situation... has never happened before.

If it had happened, the "killing spree" might have been unstoppable.

The reason is simple...if someone escapes without getting the bonus, they will definitely call the police afterwards, and the location of their "hunting area" will be exposed the next day.

Besides, at this moment, the other "prey" who is far away from Hel is already scarred and dying. Even if he is left alone, he may not be able to persist in escaping... In case the "Supreme One" "They started paddling now, allowing Hull to run away. As a result, the other person didn't run away for a long time while they were paddling. The audience could definitely tell that they deliberately slacked off in pursuit because they didn't want to give them a bonus.

To sum up, they only have the "second option" left - to pursue them to the end.

After the decision was made, the twelve "Supreme Ones" took action. They left three people at the headquarters to be responsible for monitoring, commanding, and supporting. The remaining nine soldiers were divided into two groups, six of them went to chase Hull, and three of them went to kill Hull. Go kill that guy who's almost dead. At the same time, those who stayed in the headquarters also quickly changed the real-time odds of various bets to attract more viewers to place bets.

They said they were going to hunt down the six people in Hull... They were in groups of two, riding off-road motorcycles, relying on night vision devices, and each of them quickly chased Hull through a route without traps.

When the "Supreme One" kills someone with his own hands, one person usually does it with a weapon, and the other person holds a camera and takes the real shot from a first-person perspective. However, sometimes it happens alone, because many of their killing props come with them. Camera.

The reaction of the "prey" when being killed is the biggest attraction of "Killing Spree". It is the kind of real blood and death that no cult film or exploitation film can show, as well as the reaction and tragedy of people when they are killed... It is indescribable and is enough to change the mental state of the viewer.

"Hey guys, something seems a little off."

Just when the six "Supreme Ones" were approaching Hull's location, their accomplices in the headquarters suddenly spoke to them through the communication channel.

"what's the situation?"

"The guy is gone."

"What do you mean? What do you mean missing?"

"He just disappeared. He was under the surveillance of the T012 probe just now. Then he discovered the T012 and destroyed it. Then several nearby probes also lost their signals one by one. Now the image in that area is completely black. I also I don’t know where that guy is.”

"Damn! He couldn't have run away, could he?"

"No, the cameras at the border were all functioning normally and we didn't see him running out."

"That means he didn't continue running away?"

"It's impossible. We've reached the T0 area and we can basically see the road in the distance. It's impossible to get lost there."

"Could it be that... he didn't run out on purpose... and stayed there to ambush us?"

"Even if it's for money, you won't go to that extent, right? This guy's ID shows that he is just an ordinary office worker, not a special soldier. What does he think he can do?"

"You ask me and I ask who. Anyway, you can only rely on your own night vision devices from now on. Be careful in everything."

"Don't worry, the location of the trap is marked on the electronic map. Just because he's such an uncle..."

At this moment, the communication conversation was suddenly interrupted.

A strange noise came from the communicator of the person who spoke half a sentence, followed by a noisy rolling sound and the sound of the motorcycle engine gradually stalling.

"Hey! What's going on? Rhino? Lion? Please answer if you hear me!"

The person at the headquarters called out the code name of the speaker and the code name of his companion on the motorcycle, but he called it several times, but no one responded.

"What's going on? What happened to them?"

"Damn it! Say something back, this joke is not funny at all!"

The other two people in the car were also very nervous. Their motorcycles, "Rhinoceros" and "Lion" were approaching that area in a trident manner. The distance was not too far, but they had to drive through the woods to support them. I'm afraid it will take two or three minutes.

The group of people who usually unilaterally kill "prey", at this moment...when their accomplices may be in danger, and they may also be in danger, the reaction is no different from those of the "prey", they also feel He showed fear and panic.
