System: [13 people have died, 87 remain.]
Less than 10 minutes into the game, 13 people have already been eliminated. The pace is fast, and the system's timely announcement of death tolls undoubtedly keeps the remaining contestants' nerves continually on edge.
Ji You is no exception.
Her current situation is far from good. Although using a woven straw coat to hide in the bushes grants her temporary concealment from danger, without a solid weapon in hand, she's doomed if she encounters someone armed with guns.
Ah!
Moreover, continuous hiding, though seemingly safe, presents a greater risk over time. At the beginning of the competition, when everyone is unfamiliar with the environment and opponents, it is the time to gather strength and arm oneself. Missing this opportunity would spell disaster once all competitors strengthen, and even the best hiding spots won't save her.
Ji You grits her teeth, contemplating abandoning this small hut when she suddenly hears soft footsteps.
