Eliminate Them! I Only Want to Survive

The Game Panel flashed with light. Su Mo entered through the game chat panel and clicked into the disaster-relief livestream page.

At that moment, a page completely different from the other livestreams appeared in first place.

A few flickering points of fire could vaguely be seen on the screen.

At the same time, the foreign livestream that had originally ranked tenth was pushed down.

A livestream marked with the character "Huá" occupied the top spot.

Moreover, the disaster-relief rating below the livestream was more than three times higher than that of the second-place Zeus Shelter.

Ignoring these details, Su Mo quickly entered the livestream page. After casually naming it "Act on behalf of Heaven," he began using the streamer's privileges to observe the area below.

In the darkness, five points of fire were extremely conspicuous.

In an instant, Su Mo determined the five men's positions.

"Good, good, good. So you're all squatting here by the ventilation duct waiting to die, huh?"

Laughing out of anger, Su Mo kept watching the livestream while making his way to the hole he had opened beside the bed.

He focused his mind, and the large hole's attributes immediately appeared.

Access Passage

Description: An access passage that has not yet been completely opened
Upgrade direction: Safety Passage
Branches: Expand (5), Open (60), Material (40), Strength (200), Passage Door (40)

Introduction: Even a crafty rabbit has three burrows!

"Select Expand. Select Open."

As soon as he spoke, his Survival Points dropped by 65. A green light spread out from Su Mo's body.

The originally crude opening began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

Under the system's power, the large hole, which could only accommodate half a person's height, gradually melted into an opening tall enough for an adult to pass through while bent over.

The surface of the opening began to smooth out, and the cut through the stone wall became a complete circle.

Moving inward from the entrance, the soil inside seemed to melt and rapidly disappeared.

After only a few seconds, the green light withdrew, signaling that the modification was complete.

Su Mo lowered his head and cautiously walked inside.

Although there were no steps, the soil in the Safety Passage had been compressed until it was extremely hard. The slope was also very gentle, and before long, Su Mo reached the end.

At the end was a crude wooden board. With a little force, Su Mo pushed it open.

His gaze shifted, and Su Mo found the board's location on the livestream page.

It happened to be on the side facing Acid Rain Lake.

If he had not known about the entrance and observed carefully, he absolutely would not have discovered it.

Pushing open the wooden door, he stepped out of the shelter.

The acid rain pattered onto his raincoat and crossbow, lending the tips of the bolts a hint of "slaughter."

Crouching on the ground, he advanced carefully.

He watched the points of light on the screen while also keeping an eye on the ground ahead.

Su Mo moved with extreme caution.

Paired with the black-backed raincoat, he resembled a grim reaper wielding a scythe of death in the pitch-black rainy night, making anyone who saw him shudder.

One step.

Two steps.

Gradually, the firelight became visible not only in the livestream footage. A point of fire also appeared before Su Mo's eyes.

"Glasses Man?"

Using the firelight, Su Mo saw the face beneath it from the darkness.

Without making a sound, Su Mo began shifting to the left.

The first strike would be the most deadly. He had to make sure he could attack the person who looked strongest among the five.

His gaze shifted, and a second point of fire appeared.

"A scar on his face, a thick neck, and he looks incredibly arrogant."

The best way to judge someone's combat power was to observe their neck and arms.

Anyone with a thick neck was either trained in martial arts or possessed great strength. Such people were much more difficult to deal with than ordinary people.

"It's you."

Hearing Scarface's distant cursing, the cold light in Su Mo's eyes grew even sharper.

Lying on the ground, he carefully set the crossbow down, aimed at Scarface as the man swayed his head around, and gently pulled the trigger.

Whoosh! Thud! A sharp sound exploded amid the rain, and before Su Mo could properly savor its beauty,

he saw Scarface clutching his chest and staggering to the ground in the distance.

By the light of the torch that had fallen to the ground and was about to go out, Su Mo saw the crossbow bolt embedded in the center of Scarface's chest.

This bolt had been soaked in acid rain! Even a shot to the chest was enough to kill in one strike!

"Ahhhhhhh!"

A scream rang out in the distance. In the rainy night, the environment gave it a strangely mournful beauty.

On the livestream page, the four torches instantly fell into chaos.

However, the four men's movements were remarkably uniform.

Not one of them chose to save Scarface. Instead, they all hid, and one of them even cleverly extinguished his torch immediately, concealing himself in the darkness.

"You're so clever. Looks like I'll have to deal with you second."

The one who had extinguished his torch was Glasses Man.

Glasses Man immediately rolled and threw the torch near one of his teammates, diverting attention.

Unfortunately, the red cloth on his back was so conspicuous on the livestream page!

Without making a sound, Su Mo lay on the ground and began cocking the crossbow with both hands! With the Powerful Raincoat, he did not have to worry about raindrops landing on him. The other four, on the other hand, had to hold their umbrellas up constantly while crouching in place, making themselves living targets.

Fifteen seconds later, Su Mo had loaded the second bolt and began slowly shifting across the ground.

The hiding spot that Eyeglasses Man thought was so excellent gradually appeared in Su Mo's field of vision as he moved.

Raise the crossbow!

Take aim!

Fire!

Another black bolt shot out, striking Eyeglasses Man below the neck.

The tremendous impact instantly knocked Eyeglasses Man to the ground.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. In that fleeting glimpse,

Eyeglasses Man saw where Su Mo was lying. His expression was as if he had seen a ghost, and he tried to stand up and shout.

Unfortunately, the steady stream of black blood flowing from his neck blocked his words in his throat.

Three to five seconds later, Eyeglasses Man was declared dead.

By then, all five torches had been extinguished, making it difficult to determine their positions.

Lying on the ground, Su Mo cocked the crossbow while using the streamer's convenience to drag the viewpoint and enlarge the image, observing the others' positions.

"Got you~"

Beneath his mask, the corners of Su Mo's mouth curled into a smile.

"Perhaps now I understand why some people have to turn on wall hacks when they play shooting games."

The slightly comical thought flashed through his mind, easing Su Mo's tension after killing two bandits in succession.

Thirty seconds later, he finished cocking the crossbow.

He changed position, found his target, took aim, and fired.

Another streak of cold light flashed. Pockmarked Face was struck in the area behind his kidney, and the bolt's tremendous kinetic force pierced through his abdomen and straight into his belly.

The immense pain made Pockmarked Face jump to his feet. He shouted, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I don't want to die! Go kill Huang Biao—he's killed seven people! I haven't killed anyone. He forced me to kill! I wanted to—"

In the rainy night, Pockmarked Face ran a few steps before collapsing helplessly on the hillside.

The acid rain clinging to the arrowhead and shaft corroded through the body's fragile internal organs almost instantly. Once blood was drawn, death followed.

The remaining two heard Sun Pockface's cries. How could they fail to understand that staying hidden meant waiting for death? They both stood up and sprinted away.

Under the night sky, two figures fled in opposite directions, one north and one south.

By coincidence, just as Su Mo was cocking his crossbow, a shifty-looking man came charging toward him.

The man ran in a panic and completely failed to notice Su Mo nearby.

Only after Su Mo raised the crossbow did the man belatedly realize what was happening and try to shout.

Whoosh! The words caught in his throat, and his entire body collapsed limply.

"Chase!"

Watching the figure moving rapidly across the livestream page, Su Mo stood up without sparing the fallen man a glance. He cocked the crossbow with both hands as he gave chase.

"This should be Huang Biao, the man they mentioned. He really is a vicious criminal—even his escape is so methodical."

Huang Biao was unfamiliar with the terrain. While running, his feet alternated between deep and shallow ground, but his speed was astonishing.

With his familiarity with the terrain and the livestream page as a reference, Su Mo was not slow either.

As one chased and the other fled, Su Mo quickly overtook him from behind and closed to within roughly fifty meters.

Jogging while holding up the crossbow and taking aim,

a black arrow shadow flashed past. The bolt failed to strike Huang Biao while he was moving at high speed, but by sheer coincidence, it hit the umbrella shaft and snapped it in two.

Seeing this, Su Mo quickly lay on the ground, pulled five crossbow bolts from his inventory, and began loading them into the crossbow in preparation for cocking it.

Huang Biao's umbrella had been broken while he was running, so he had no choice but to turn back and pick it up. He shouted repeatedly,

"Hero, hero, don't believe what Sun Pockface said! I'm a good person! I've never killed anyone! He was the one who killed them, but he pinned it all on me!"

"Let me go, please! For the sake of us all being Earthlings, spare my worthless life!"

A bolt of lightning flashed, and Huang Biao saw Su Mo lying on the ground and cocking his crossbow. Cold sweat poured down his back.

Only now did he clearly see the weapon that had repeatedly taken four lives.

Under such a weapon, he felt there was no point in trying to escape anymore.

"I'll leave all my supplies behind! I know—I know where there's a ruin with a huge amount of supplies! I also know where there are other people! I'll tell you everything! Spare me, spare me! I'll tell you everything!"

Huang Biao raised both hands and shouted repeatedly, seemingly trying to surrender.

However, while Su Mo lay on the ground cocking the crossbow, he clearly noticed Huang Biao's tiny steps on the livestream page.

They kept moving forward, drawing closer!

"You said there's a ruin? What kind of ruin? Where is it?"

Hearing Su Mo speak, Huang Biao continued moving without changing his pace. A trace of delight appeared on his face. "It's not far away, just a few kilometers. I found it underground. There are lots of good things inside, but my brothers and I couldn't open it, so we had no choice but to wander around."

"But I know you can definitely do it, Big Brother. Your base is so big and so impressive! You're so handsome and so capable. Nothing could possibly stump you!"

As he spoke, Huang Biao moved another twenty-odd meters without making a sound, reaching a position thirty meters from Su Mo.

At that distance, a normal adult only needed three to five seconds to sprint over.

Huang Biao was no exception.

After moving forward another five or six meters, Huang Biao's voice rose. "That ruin has tons of good stuff—and your head!"

After saying "head," a Wolf Tooth Club appeared in Huang Biao's hand. Under the rainy night sky, he threw away his umbrella and charged forward at full speed, ignoring the damage from the rain.

Twenty meters.

Ten meters.

A blinding bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. At this distance, Huang Biao could almost make out Su Mo's face beneath the mask.

However, the instant he clearly saw Su Mo's face, a tragic expression suddenly appeared on Huang Biao's face! The next second, a crossbow bolt was embedded in the center of his stomach.

"You're... Su Mo?"

Clutching his stomach, Huang Biao knelt weakly on the ground and asked in a trembling voice.

"You know me?"

Su Mo increased the distance between them as he cocked the crossbow, his voice cold.

Unfortunately, Huang Biao never managed to speak. Another bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating his expression.

It was an expression of disbelief mixed with regret.

Under the night sky, the five bandits with ill intentions lay forever near the shelter.

Blood was the only trace they left behind to prove they had ever existed.

"I only want to survive. Since you won't let me live, I can only ask you to die!"

Putting away the crossbow, Su Mo glanced at Huang Biao, who was still struggling on the ground. He coldly turned around and went back to check the bodies and finish them off, without the slightest attachment to the so-called secret of the "ruin" in Huang Biao's mouth.

The heavy rain continued to fall, slowly washing away the traces of what had happened...

The entire encounter lasted only three to five minutes, yet tens of billions of players watched the whole livestream in full.
