The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Urgency

The silence was all around, with only the faint breathing of the two remaining.

Half-squinting her eyes, Ji You suddenly opened them wide and, in the blink of an eye, tightened her grip on the sniper rifle in her hands, startling weak chicken with her abrupt movement, ”Queen... Queen... what are you doing with the gun?”

Ji You couldn’t even bother with him, what else would she do with a gun if not to kill people?

Was he asking such a foolish question to highlight his questionable intelligence?

That certainly proved it.

Ji You squinted her eyes, intently staring at a moving black dot outside the window, which gradually grew larger until the figure of a person could be clearly seen.

But this person was extremely cautious, hiding with every step they took, seeming to constantly scrutinize the dangers around them.

Only then did weak chicken manage to make out the figure, his face stiffening and his voice weakly saying, ”When did this person sneak in? I didn’t even notice, it must have been a tiny... tiny mistake...”

Embarrassed, weak chicken awkwardly tried to explain, ”Queen... please don’t be angry, next time I promise to spot the enemy immediately.”

Ji You narrowed her eyes: ”Shut up.”

Weak chicken retracted his neck: ”Yes.”

Ji You: ”... In 10 seconds, if you dare to speak again, I’ll be the first to slaughter you.”

Weak chicken’s mouth opened to reply but then he immediately realized he couldn’t speak, so he held his breath.

At that moment—

The shadow that had been sneaking around stopped in its tracks, with only half its head poking out, pondering over which house to choose as a hiding spot, when suddenly it heard a faint whooshing sound.

A shock went through him, and just as he was about to retract his head, his vision blurred, followed by a surge of agonizing pain!

System: [You are dead and will soon be transported out of the battlefield.]

Shadow: ”Huh???”

What just happened?

How did he die?

Who killed him?

Taking advantage of the few seconds before being transported out, the shadow quickly checked his death log: [Rag Queen has killed you with a 7.62 caliber sniper rifle.]

Shadow: ”!!!”

The Rag Queen?

Isn’t that the...

Next thing he knew, his vision blurred again, and he was completely removed from the arena.

Compared to the shadow’s resentful master, at this moment, weak chicken’s look towards Ji You could only be described as worshipful: [Ah, ah, ah... Boss! That’s a real boss!]

But since the boss wouldn’t let him speak, weak chicken struggled to hold it in, not daring to make a sound.

After her successful sniping, Ji You raised her hand to rub her brow.

It appeared easy, but inwardly it was anything but. To maintain long-term concentration, the consumption of spiritual power threshold was immense, and since Ji You had only recently raised her spiritual power to Class D, she couldn’t afford to use much, so she had to count every shot, not daring to waste any. After each use, she needed to adjust her breathing frequency to restore her spiritual power threshold as quickly as possible.

Thus—

Ji You once again plunged into closing her eyes to recuperate.

Weak chicken felt the Rag Queen beside him was even more mysterious...

Silence.

Quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

seconds later, Ji You opened her eyes again, because— the system sent another prompt: [80 people have died, 20 remain on the field.]

After this message popped up, the system immediately followed up with another announcement: [The new safe zone has been designated, please players proceed to the safe area quickly.]

Weak chicken was the first to jump up: ”Queen! We are indeed within the safe zone.”

This was a major advantage!

Others are far away and have to go through a tough journey to arrive, but they don’t have to; they can lie in ambush here in advance and take action immediately as soon as anyone comes by.

The weak chicken’s face was full of joy: ”Thank the heavens ah ah ah... the place I blurted out randomly, I never expected it would actually be...”

Suddenly—

The weak chicken quickly shut up.

Damn, accidentally revealed it.

Ji You, upon hearing this, glanced at him indifferently, and the weak chicken’s face immediately turned sheepish, his heart slightly apprehensive.

Ji You spoke in a low voice, ”If you don’t stay vigilant, I’ll be the first to slaughter you.”

The weak chicken: ”...”

Discovered?

Did she really discover my slack-off disguise?

As the weak chicken was pondering over what excuse to come up with, a subtle change transmitted through his extended Spiritual Network—someone was coming.

The weak chicken whispered: ”Queen, someone’s coming.”

Ji You said: ”Coordinates.”

The weak chicken accurately reported a set of coordinates.

Ji You spread out her Spiritual Net and realized it was too far to feel anything on her own. This distance was at least 1000 meters, which meant—

This annoying weak chicken had been hiding his capabilities, trying to deliberately deceive her?

Very well.

Ji You’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

The weak chicken shuddered, nearly kneeling in fright as he hurriedly explained: ”Queen... please don’t misunderstand. How dare I, the weak chicken, deceive you? Not noticing the enemy before was genuine oversight; sometimes my spiritual power doesn’t obey, out of control, and once that happens, I easily lose insight into my surroundings...”

Ji You let out a cold snort.

The weak chicken whined endlessly: ”I, the weak chicken, have survived till now all thanks to Queen’s guidance. How could I dare to deceive you? If you don’t believe me, I swear: From now on, the weak chicken will regard Queen’s commands as paramount, alive as Queen’s man, dead as Queen’s ghost! Absolutely loyal, never doing anything to harm the Queen.”

Ji You’s mouth twitched: ”Enough with this rubbish, who’d want someone like you? Whoever wants you can take you.”

The weak chicken grinned sheepishly, yet still brazenly moved closer, saying: ”Queen is wise and heroic, I will always follow the Queen.”

Ji You almost slapped him to death but managed to hold back.

Because—

The person discovered earlier by the weak chicken had entered within a 500-meter range, triggering Ji You’s perception: a boy wearing a black leather jacket and pants, carrying an assault rifle.

The black leather-pants boy was incredibly fast, ducking behind a large boulder.

Ji You readied her rifle, patiently waiting.

Suddenly—

In the Spiritual Network, a slight disturbance came from the north—a pair of gray-clothed girls who were especially vigilant, stealthy all the way, and quickly slipped into a Red House.

Then—

From the Southwest, a Red-haired boy carrying a Big Saber was rushing over—

Not even a second later, a motorcycle roared from the Northwest. With two people on it, one on guard and the other driving the motorcycle, they directly crashed into a house through the glass window.

Immediately after, a small car came zooming, with four or five men and women inside; they drove very arrogantly, unleashing a wild spray of bullets at the same house the motorcycle had crashed into—

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

...

Suddenly, gun smoke rose from all directions, and the situation became extremely urgent!
