Chapter 481 - 473: Semifinals 3
Chapter 481 - 473: Semifinals 3
The monster’s task is to protect the weapon box, so it has been lurking nearby, attempting to attack the players.
The four people on the opposite side, including Josh, have already unlocked their weapons, and their expressions have grown more tense.
Emily also noticed the disparity in strength between the two sides.
She looked at her teammates, "Should we retreat?"
A nearby teammate nodded, "Let’s retreat. The strength of the Golden Shit Stirrer should not be underestimated. We shouldn’t waste time on a single weapon box."
As they turned to run, their path was suddenly blocked by a web that appeared out of nowhere.
Josh whispered to the others, "It seems the people with human identities have preset superpowers; let’s probe first."
Everyone nodded and charged forward.
Yushi was about to join in but was pulled back by Josh’s spider silk.
He turned to look at Josh, feeling a bit aggrieved.
He wanted to fight.
Josh said, "Go kill the monster first and unlock the weapon."
Only then did Yushi remember that his whip was still sealed. Reluctantly, he took one last look at the battlefield and turned to fight the monster.
Josh tried to release the Spiritual Body to enter the Beastification State but found that he couldn’t use it at all. Not only that, but he also couldn’t use the spiritual power in his Spiritual Sea.
It seemed that they needed to find other weapon boxes.
One weapon box could only unlock one thing.
She also attempted to use the Infinite Dream, and indeed, it was unusable.
Josh stopped dwelling on it and instead looked towards the people not far away.
When she saw them, her face darkened, and she tugged the spider silk to pull Yuze back to her side.
Yuze frowned slightly, "What’s wrong?"
Josh’s mouth twitched, "I told you to probe them, so why are you beating them to death?"
Yuze justified himself, "How did I beat them to death? They’re just too weak!"
Josh said, "You killed them without giving them a chance to fight back. How are they supposed to showcase their skills? How will we understand the human faction’s skills?"
Emily, in particular, was beaten to the point of being completely unrecognizable, with no signs of her previous appearance.
It was entirely a case of settling personal scores.
Yuze showed no guilt, "I didn’t do it; your boyfriend is just too strong."
Josh’s mouth twitched again, "Then stay by my side and observe, don’t move."
Yuze settled down, a flash of murderous intent crossing his eyes as he glanced at the bruised and battered Emily not far away.
That damn drag queen, he was lucky.
Only Jiang Can and Rob remained on the field.
Rob was a long-range shooter, while Jiang Can was close-range defense.
Anyone trying to approach Rob would be properly blocked by Jiang Can.
Both sides were locked in a stalemate.
The superpowers used by Emily and the others continuously struck Jiang Can.
Some were similar to Thunder Attack, while others were Water Element Attack and Fire Attack, somewhat resembling the Spirit Root Attribute attacks from the Cultivation World.
While both sides were still locked in a stalemate, the system’s voice echoed above the forest: "Three minutes up. Players, please reach the safe zone within one minute. For your own safety, do not linger in the Poisonous Miasma Zone."
With the end of the system’s announcement, the fog in the forest suddenly turned green, and visibility started to drop continuously.
Josh quickly noticed something wrong within her body; her Life Value was slowly decreasing.
Sure enough, it was similar to battle royale games.
Yushi returned to the team in time, "The weapon is unsealed."
Josh nodded, tugged the spider silk, and pulled Jiang Can and Rob back to her side, "Retreat, don’t get caught up in the fight."
Everyone nodded.
Apparently, Emily and the others had no intention of continuing the fight. Seeing Josh and the others retreating, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t that they wanted to fight; it was because Josh’s web blocked their path.
Watching Josh and the others running in another direction, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Emily and the others turned around, only to find that Josh didn’t remove the previous spider web but even covered other directions with webs, completely blocking their path.
A few teammates looked towards Emily, "Look, Josh clearly doesn’t like you. She doesn’t even give us a way out. When we get into the safe zone, don’t be stupid and rush forward again."
Emily looked at the four teammates who were dragged down by her and nodded, "Okay... sorry for dragging you down."
The leader, Mo Zimo, patted her shoulder, "Alright, we’re all on the same team, so what’s the point of saying that? We just think it’s not worth it. You’ve done so much for her, but she doesn’t appreciate it at all."
A glint of gloom crossed Emily’s eyes, "I understand."

Josh and the others walked towards the safe zone while keeping an eye on their surroundings.
There were monster corpses scattered everywhere, indicating that many people had already obtained weapons.
Someone in the live stream couldn’t sit still, "We shouldn’t have wasted so much time probing earlier. With that time, wouldn’t it be better to collect more weapons and unlock skills first?"
"Exactly! It’s so frustrating. This Golden Shit Stirrer’s tactician isn’t that great."
"Moreover, having a proper match is one thing, but why bother with all that lovey-dovey stuff? Isn’t now the wrong time for that?"
Because it was the semi-final, besides fans, many casual viewers also flooded into the live streams of various contestants.
But generally, casual viewers would quietly watch and rarely criticize while watching.
The Federation Star’s netizens were not particularly hostile.
However, at such a critical moment in the semi-final, many guilds couldn’t resist buying black fans for the popular teams.
The fans in the live streams were getting restless.
"Every tactician has their own style. If some people are too dumb to understand, maybe they should stop exposing their stupidity in the live stream?"
"Dismissing a contestant’s skills after watching for just ten minutes—could it be a troll?"
"It’s already the semi-final, and they’re still pulling this? Is it interesting? Can’t promote their own players, so they’re seeking attention in someone else’s live stream?"
"When other teams are being lovey-dovey, it’s fine. But my son’s team can’t be lovey-dovey? Some people are being too obviously double-standard. Controlling everything, even the players’ bodily functions. Isn’t winning enough?"
"Why does it smell so bad here? These are all throwaway accounts set to stir up trouble. Interesting."
"If those draped-in-skin-black comrades cause my CP to stop giving out sweetness, don’t blame me for going to your master’s live stream and causing a scene."
As the match progressed, the contestants had mostly accumulated enough points, and few people interacted with the barrage anymore.
Josh and the others headed towards the safe zone, opening a few overlooked boxes along the way.
The new safe zone was located deep within the forest.
A human base was hidden deep within, with high walls and security measures.
In terms of time and space, everything leaned towards the human faction.
It wasn’t friendly to players assigned to the zombie faction.
Josh and the others lingered outside. Without a human ID card, they couldn’t enter the base and were blocked outside the high walls.
Viewed from high to low, the zombies outside were too easily exposed.
