Erotic Survival Game - Chapter 337
Chapter 337: Deathtrap Hospital (10)
In an instance with no external objects to use as weapons, a chainsaw-wielding killer is invincible.
Once the chainsaw runs out of power, it naturally becomes nothing to fear.
Jiang Ting had been on the third floor and also noticed the chase sounds pause for a while, but the break hadn't lasted very long.
If they let the killer go now, once this period passed, a threat capable of jeopardizing their game clearance success rate would return. Who knew if they would be this lucky next time?
Besides, they still didn't know how many killers were in the entire hospital. One less was one less!
The door opened, and the three men charged out first.
The killer was massive, standing over two meters tall, but against three tall, long-legged males with equally strong physiques and hearts full of fury for their woman, he clearly couldn't hold his own.
Qin Yanshu pushed off the ground and leaped, first using the stethoscope's rubber tubing to viciously strangle the killer's neck, conveniently ripping off his mask in the process.
The chainsaw was out of power, but it could still serve as a heavy bludgeoning weapon. Shen Yu coordinated with Qin Yanshu, kicking the chainsaw out of the killer's hand. The chainsaw clattered loudly across the tile floor.
With the mask removed, Jiang Ting circled to the front, gripping the syringe tightly as he stabbed it straight at the killer's face.
With a squelch, the thick, rigid needle pierced directly through an eyeball, making the killer roar deafeningly. Blinded, he suddenly thrashed violently, kicking and punching aimlessly.
Stabbing an eyeball with a needle wasn't a fatal move, but Jiang Ting only had the syringe to use.
He had to do something to counteract the extreme, deep-seated negativity that had crashed over him the moment the chainsaw swung down towards Ji Ning.
In that instant, Jiang Ting felt as if he could hear the sound of his heart shattering.
Now, his eyes were bloodshot. He had to see the killer pay the price, had to see his body broken, had to see some bloodshed to calm his heart.
Qin Yanshu and Shen Yu shared the exact same mentality.
Among the three, Shen Yu's assigned prop was the highest grade—a set of surgical knives, just like Ji Ning's.
He drew the one with the longest blade, held it in a reverse grip, and after Jiang Ting pulled out the syringe, his right hand swept the knife cleanly and heavily across the front of the killer's neck, slicing through skin and windpipe.
The cut was so narrow and neat that, aside from the scarlet blood seeping from the cross-section, the wound was almost invisible.
The throat-slitting scene wasn't overly gory, but the killer's death was no longer in doubt.
Qin Yanshu released his stranglehold on the neck and stepped back. The killer's massive body immediately crashed to the ground.
Just like the No. 4 killed by Ji Ning, the NPC killer's corpse vanished silently, including the ugly mask.
However, the chainsaw he had used to commit his atrocities still lay quietly on the ground.
The whole process was so fast that Ji Ning had only just run over.
She felt the men had practically launched themselves out faster than they had run when being chased by the killer…
"The chainsaw!" Ji Ning's mood was now completely renewed. She hadn't expected that killing an NPC, like killing a player, allowed them to inherit the other's item.
She tried it. The chainsaw was a bit heavy, but by no means impossible for her to lift. So, the usage rights for this chainsaw should go to Shen Yu, who had dealt the fatal blow.
It was just that there was no system announcement, so Shen Yu probably hadn't inherited an extra life.
Based on Ji Ning's gaming experience, this should be a hidden gameplay mechanic of the survival game, relying entirely on players to discover or guess on their own.
The reason the system concealed this was simple to think about.
Because if players knew about this, the previously mentioned gameplay would become meaningless.
Knowing that killing a killer could yield a chainsaw, would players still kill each other for an extra life? An extra life might just mean getting hacked one more time in the end. But obtaining a chainsaw gave them the ability to contend with such a vicious NPC.
No longer would they be fish on the chopping block.
Under this logic chain, if players killed each other for extra lives at the start, there would be fewer people to cooperate with when they encountered the killer later.
The killer was built like a minotaur. Even without the chainsaw, he was not to be trifled with. Without the three-man cooperation of Jiang Ting, Qin Yanshu, and Shen Yu, even with more people, he would have been hard to deal with.
Protected in the middle of the group, Ji Ning and the men went to find a place to charge the chainsaw.
She looked at Jiang Ting, then at Qin Yanshu, and suddenly remembered that the task they had just completed required one Attending Physician and one Intern Nurse.
Now she knew the twelve players had four roles in total: Chief Physician, Attending Physician, Intern Nurse, and Patient.
If some tasks required a Patient to be present, their four-person team wouldn't be able to complete them.
So, was it feasible to skip finding treasure chests for hints and just search room by room for the main control room?
