Dark Night's kill count finally surpassed Ye Luo's, while South Korea's points rapidly closed in on China's. South Korea's aggressive moves enraged many of the participating nations, and quite a few people began deliberately targeting South Korea. This was something the Chinese players were happy to see, since it reduced the intensity with which the major countries targeted Chinese players, naturally easing their pressure considerably.
Besides Dark Night, Tokyo Myth was also making aggressive moves. His kill count was rising rapidly, and Japan's total points were increasing quickly as well. These actions also drew quite a bit of hostility away from China.
Of course, aside from the Elite Squads led by Dark Night and Tokyo Myth occasionally attacking some small and medium-sized teams, the shrinking safe zone also greatly increased the chances of clashes between different countries. Many medium and large teams came into conflict, resulting in heavy casualties, and participating players were being eliminated at an ever-increasing rate—at the very least, much faster than in the previous few days.
Conflicts were breaking out throughout the entire competition area, and even the Chinese teams near the unsafe zones were no exception. However, the Chinese teams only encountered small and medium-sized groups, with no more than 2,000 people at most. Relying on their numerical advantage, air power, and other strengths, the Chinese teams wiped them all out, earning quite a few points in the process.

It was a five-person team because San Mei Shi had not immediately returned after coming over to handle the team Trial Mission. She followed the others
