"You have eliminated number 7, the next target is number 6."
Bai Ye waved his hand casually, and the Thunder Fang Savage Beast transformed back into a slime and merged into Bai Ye's body.
Bai Ye didn't stop, he quickly moved to the side, then entered the safety passage, and went all the way up to the top floor of the mall.
This area was a recreational zone.
There was a skate park, a basketball court, a small climbing facility, and a zip line.
Bai Ye went directly to the zip line area, paid the money, and then strapped himself in.
Before entering the mall, Bai Ye had already planned his route. While the zip line was eye-catching, it was difficult to definitively identify the person on it unless their identity was revealed beforehand.
Secondly, the rooftop entertainment facilities were numerous, meaning more people...
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 more people, and naturally, more...
More hostages!
Fortunately, Bai Ye had good luck.
More precisely, San Shang Zhi Er's Mist Shadow Technique had helped. The hunters' vision was obscured, and they didn't know from where Bai Ye had left. They were still searching the mall for him.
Riding the zip line to the other side, Bai Ye untied the rope, entered the restaurant, and left through the back door.
...
About an hour later.
Bai Ye appeared in a private room at a hotel.
The television was broadcasting the news of San Shang Zhi Er's death. The nine wanted criminals were now eight, but Bai Ye was not mentioned. The credit was given to the hunters.
This was understandable, as the nine participants were simultaneously playing the roles of both wanted criminals and hunters.
Bai Ye's next target was a man named Chen Fa.
Unfortunately, the robot Bai Ye had picked up had no information about Chen Fa. In fact, not only was there no information about Chen Fa, but Bai Ye's own intel and Li Jia Yi's intel were also gone.
This was because both of them had successfully shaken off their hunters and were not being continuously tracked.
The only one still being tracked was Garrison Dale.
This guy was truly tenacious. It had been almost five hours since entering the Wish Mission, and he still hadn't shaken off the hunters.
Therefore, calling them "fodder" wasn't an exaggeration. The situation was as Bai Ye had predicted.
Hunting in dangerous zones only indicated a certain level of strength, but didn't necessarily represent true power.
Take Bai Ye's current situation. If he returned to the dangerous zones of Umbrella Company, he could easily kill zombies without any difficulty, but his hunting count would increase crazily.
But what was the point of that?
It was largely meaningless. Their strength simply didn't match. Even if he obtained something, it would be of no use to Bai Ye.
Of course, this was an extreme example, and no one would be so bored as to hunt without seeking rewards.
However, judging from San Shang Zhi Er's strength, this guy had been active in dangerous zones for a long time, hence his high hunting count, but his actual strength was quite ordinary.
It wasn't bad, but he was only a level stronger than an average chosen one.
In Bai Ye's opinion, if San Shang Zhi Er were to append "third-rate" or "second-rate" to his name, he could barely be called an expert.
However, from another perspective, Dale also had some skill to have evaded for five hours without being eliminated.
Unfortunately, Dale was number four, and his pursuer was Lansgaard. For Bai Ye to pursue Dale, he would first need to eliminate numbers five and six. Currently, Dale's whereabouts were useless to Bai Ye.
Of course, Bai Ye still hoped that this guy could hold on, at least until he took down two more "fodder" targets. Then he would go and "play" with him.
As Bai Ye mused, he lay down on the bed. After assigning Gengar to guard duty, he began to rest.
The first day of the Wish Mission didn't require such haste.
However, while Bai Ye was not in a hurry, others were.
As night fell, Bai Ye had fallen into a deep sleep. But in his dream, he felt something wet on his face. He groggily opened his eyes and saw Gengar's large face almost pressed against his, continuously licking him with its large tongue.
In the dim light, Bai Ye was almost scared to death. Gengar's face was truly terrifying in the middle of the night.
After waking Bai Ye, Gengar quickly floated to the window and pulled back the curtain.
"Hmm?"
Bai Ye went to the window and looked outside, seeing a large number of bats flying around.
"Prince's servants?" Bai Ye exclaimed, "Has Hamir arrived so quickly?"
Bai Ye casually picked up the remote and turned on the TV. He then saw a broadcast announcing that three wanted criminals had been shot and killed.
They were Wei Zhu Xie (number nine), Lansgaard (number three), and Garrison Dale (number four).
Bai Ye was stunned. Had the world changed while he slept?
Wei Zhu Xie was dead...
Bai Ye hadn't expected this at all.
Although in his previous life, Wei Zhu Xie was at most between second-rate and first-rate, he had followed Situ Chi Cheng, had a good reputation, and came from a Xianxia world with a strong foundation. He had an advantage upon entering the World Battlefield.
And now...
In just over ten hours, he had been defeated by Hamir?
It was somewhat understandable that Wei Zhu Xie couldn't defeat Hamir.
But what about Lansgaard and Garrison Dale?
Lansgaard's level was also a notch below Bai Ye, Li Jia Yi, and Hamir, but he was still a well-known figure. Bai Ye had expected him to cause some trouble for Li Jia Yi, but he was also gone?
Dale was number four, a piece of "fodder" who had been chased by hunters for five hours. How could he have eliminated Lansgaard?
And why were Lansgaard and Dale eliminated at the same time?
Lansgaard shouldn't have been able to attack Dale...
*Slap!*
As Bai Ye thought of this, he couldn't help but slap his forehead.
Lansgaard had eliminated Dale.
Lansgaard couldn't eliminate Dale, or he would be disqualified and eliminated directly. In the Wish Mission, the hunters would have automatically registered Lansgaard as dead.
However, Lansgaard had no interest in this Wish Mission and didn't intend to spend much time on it.
And Dale had exposed his whereabouts again and had been chased for several hours.
So, Lansgaard directly got rid of Dale and was eliminated himself.
This was the only scenario that could explain this situation. After all, it was highly unlikely that Dale could eliminate Lansgaard and then be eliminated by a number five "fodder."
What is called a plan that cannot keep up with changes?
This was it!
Bai Ye was speechless. His plan had gone slightly awry from the beginning.
"However, it's not a big problem."
Bai Ye licked his lips. He had anticipated the possibility that his reward would be good for him but bad for others.
Looking at the bright side, there were two fewer opponents competing for the reward.
Whether others profited or not, Bai Ye felt he had not lost out.
