Chapter 286: Chapter 194: The BOSS is actually me! (Three-in-one, 5/5)_3
Even after struggling for so long, he still ended up dead. A truly tragic fate.
By this time, Chen Mo had racked up a total kill count of over four hundred.
He had also accumulated points amounting to four hundred and fifty million.
He was halfway to his target.
It looked like he still had a good chance of reaching nine hundred million.
After all, his current kill count was just over four hundred, which meant the four hundred and fifty million victory points were amassed from those kills.
The remaining twenty-odd people collectively held several hundred more kill counts, along with their respective victory points.
After Chen Mo eliminated two more people, and several others were killed in mutual fighting, only 21 people remained in the instance.
What rendered Chen Mo speechless was that fifteen of them had actually gathered together.
This truly baffled him.
What on earth were they up to now?
There was almost no one left in the instance, yet they decided to team up?
Had they formed some temporary alliance, intending to eliminate everyone outside their group and then fight amongst themselves?
But this idea clearly seemed wrong.
After all, if that was their plan, they wouldn’t have gathered so many people.
If that was really their intention, about five people would have been enough.
Was it necessary to gather ten, or even fifteen people?
Their way of thinking was a bit abnormal.
Unable to figure out what they were thinking, Chen Mo decided to first deal with the other stragglers.
As time passed, the number of people in the instance continued to dwindle.
Just a moment ago, there had been twenty-one people, but three more were killed.
Now, the only individuals left alone were Chen Mo and two others who had just made kills.
The remaining fifteen had formed a solid alliance and were moving together.
Observing their direction of movement, Chen Mo saw they seemed to be heading towards another Alien, apparently still intending to expand their alliance.
This was becoming increasingly incomprehensible.
Almost everyone in the instance was dead, yet these people were still sticking together instead of fighting?
If they didn’t fight, how could he reap the rewards?
He’d have to kill them all himself—it was exhausting!
Chen Mo quickly found one of the two remaining stragglers and killed him.
Since this person had been racking up an extremely high kill count, Chen Mo directly received ninety kill counts from him alone.
His kill count was now nearing six hundred.
This meant the remaining sixteen people collectively held over four hundred kill counts.
Chen Mo estimated that the last straggler, in particular, likely held over a hundred kill counts alone.
At this point, only three factions remained in the instance: Chen Mo, a lone Alien, and the alliance of fifteen.
Even at this stage, the alliance was still moving towards the remaining lone Alien.
Chen Mo couldn’t tell if they intended to kill this Alien or recruit him.
Moreover, their ability to locate others so precisely meant they definitely had infinite coordinates.
Despite having infinite coordinates, they weren’t coming for him; instead, they were seeking out a lone expert.
It seemed they were genuinely looking for collaborators rather than just trying to kill everyone.
After all, if their goal was to kill, wouldn’t they come straight for him?
Did they look down on him, a zeroth-transition Level 20 player, or what?
If they wanted to kill someone, shouldn’t he be their first target?
If they had discovered some mysterious BOSS in the instance and were gathering strong players to fight it, their current actions would be perfectly logical.
They were trying to gather as many experts as possible to fight the BOSS.
That’s why they were now heading towards the stronger of the two remaining individuals.
Chen Mo’s guess was essentially correct: they were indeed gathering people to fight a BOSS.
However, he never imagined that the BOSS was him.
He was still wondering if he should stealthily follow them later to see what kind of BOSS they were after.
Soon, the group of fifteen met the last remaining individual. Just as Chen Mo had expected, this person also joined them, forming a team of sixteen.
After this team formed, Chen Mo assumed they were preparing to engage the BOSS.
But unexpectedly, they turned around and started heading towards him.
What’s going on? Even I, a zeroth-transition player, caught their eye? Are they planning to recruit me to fight the BOSS with them?
Chen Mo was puzzled, but he had no intention of going.
Even if he went with them to fight the BOSS, once it was defeated and their common purpose dissolved...
Wouldn’t everyone immediately turn on him, the little zeroth-transition guy?
Among a group of high-tier combatants...
He, a low-tier newbie, would likely be trapped and killed without even realizing how it happened.
It was better to wait until all special items expired.
Seeing the group heading in his direction, Chen Mo immediately began to evade them by circling.
The sixteen-person alliance team noticed that whenever they tried to approach, their target would consistently move away. Someone in the group remarked, "He has infinite coordinates too. He knows we’re coming for him, so he’s deliberately avoiding us."
"So, what do we do?"
"Don’t rush. Let the poison circle shrink more. In the final hour, when it shrinks to its absolute minimum, he won’t be able to hide even if he wants to."
"That could work. In that case, we don’t need to chase him for now. Let’s discuss how we’ll coordinate later."
"I know not everyone will fully reveal their abilities, but please share what you’re comfortable with. That way, we can plan for the best possible coordination."
"After all, this guy is incredibly strange. If we don’t coordinate effectively, we might not even be able to take him down."
