Survival Game? But She's Already Slaughtered the Entire Server - chapter 31

Chapter 31

The fireball kept growing larger in Ruan Tian’s pupils…

Her lips curled up slightly. Instead of retreating, she faced it head-on.

The Cleaver in her hand swung so fast it left afterimages, and her figure was swallowed by the fireball.

“Sister Ruan…”

Xu Yan and Da Tou instinctively held their breath, watching the scene unfold.

Would she be alright?

At that moment, the leading man happened to turn around. His legs, which had been desperately running, stopped in their tracks.

He had thought this woman was so formidable?

Just this?

No matter how good she was at fighting, she still fell into his hands.

His smug expression hadn’t even faded when several flashes of white light shot through the center of the fireball. The fireball, which had been the size of a grown man, instantly shattered into countless tiny fireballs, scattering all over the ground.

The slender figure reappeared before everyone’s eyes.

Xu Yan and Da Tou let out a sigh of relief.

The Top Player was fine.

Ruan Tian stood in the midst of the scattered fireballs, several charred holes visible on her clothes, but she herself was completely unharmed.

She held the Cleaver, tilting her head slightly to look in the direction the leading man had fled. Seeing him stunned, she gave a perfectly harmless smile: “It’s your turn.”

The leading man’s eyes went wide, as if he’d seen something terrifying, and suddenly screamed.

He ran while shouting:

“Shit, shit, shit… Damn it, seeing ghosts in broad daylight…”

How could someone be swallowed by a fireball and come out unscathed?

He must have run into a ghost…

The leading man couldn’t believe it, nor did he want to face it.

This time, he truly ran without looking back.

Ruan Tian’s smile faded when the leading man said the word “ghost.”

To hell with your ghost-have you ever seen one?

No ghost looks as good as she does.

Ruan Tian was angry.

She raised her finger, squinting slightly, and pointed a few times in the direction the leading man was fleeing.

The distance was still too close; let him run a bit more…

Daring to call her a ghost-letting him die right away would be too easy.

Let him taste the hope of survival first, then the despair of death. That’s much better than killing him outright.

The leading man ran for a while, and when he could no longer see Ruan Tian’s figure, he leaned against a nearby tree, gasping for breath. “Damn little bitch, just wait till I get back and gather my men. I’ll make sure you’re dead.”

“Who are you going to kill?”

“Of course-” The leading man started instinctively, but when he saw two shadows on the ground, he suddenly realized something, and a chill ran down his spine.

“It’s… it’s…”

The leading man’s lips trembled, unable to form a complete sentence for a long time.

Seeing him so cowardly, Ruan Tian lost interest.

She continued, “You’re going to kill me, right?”

“No, I didn’t mean that, it’s all a misunderstanding.”

Watching Ruan Tian play with the Cleaver in her hand, the leading man closed his eyes in despair.

Trying to reason and plead, he struggled:

“I’ll give you everything I have on me, just let me go this once, okay?”

“And besides, we don’t even know each other, there’s no deep grudge. Killing me won’t benefit you. And if my brother finds out I’m dead, he definitely won’t let you off. Why make an enemy of the Rank Two in the district, don’t you think…”

After listening to his nonsense, Ruan Tian stabbed the man’s heart with her Cleaver.

“If you’re dead, your backpack is naturally mine. There’s no need to talk about giving or not giving.”

Ruan Tian took his backpack and returned to where she’d been before.

Xu Yan was bandaging Da Tou’s wound.

“Sister Ruan, you’re back.” Da Tou greeted her with a smile.

“Mm.”

Ruan Tian responded, her gaze landing on the unconscious Li Huainan.

His face was pale, lips tinged with bluish-purple, and the messy hair on his forehead was damp with cold sweat, sticking to his skin, making him look lifeless.
Ruan Tian gently nudged his arm with her foot.

“Dead?”

Xu Yan reached out to feel his neck and said seriously, “He’s still breathing.”

Seeing Ruan Tian frown, Xu Yan added, “If we have a Recovery Potion, he should be able to survive.”

After all, the Top Player came here to look for the cook, not to save them.

If the cook was gone and the Top Player made the trip for nothing, she’d probably be angry, right?

“Troublesome.”

When Ruan Tian said this, Xu Yan and Da Tou both grew nervous.

Li Huainan was Da Tou’s meal companion and close friend, so of course he didn’t want to see him die.

But Recovery Potions and Healing Cards were precious and rare. Most players kept them hidden for themselves and would never trade them.

And Da Tou himself wasn’t in good condition right now.

He simply couldn’t take care of a seriously injured Li Huainan.

At this point, Sister Ruan was Brother Li’s only hope.

Thinking this, Da Tou ignored the pain in his leg and knelt right down before Ruan Tian.

“Sister Ruan, please save him. I can do anything for you.”

Xu Yan opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Ruan Tian ignored Da Tou; if he wanted to kneel, let him kneel.

Still, since she was here, there was no reason to leave empty-handed.

Ruan Tian glanced at Li Huainan on the ground. If he wasn’t actually a good cook, she could just as easily kill him.

Ruan Tian started searching through her backpack. She only had one bottle of Primary Recovery Potion. Saving this kid seemed unlikely.

Ruan Tian felt troubled.

She had killed many before, but this was the first time she had actively tried to save someone.

She couldn’t possibly let him use…

Ruan Tian’s face stiffened.

Those memories she’d long forgotten suddenly surfaced in her mind. She forced them down, her expression still as dark and terrifying as ever.

001’s internal data system began sounding alarms again.

It didn’t know what had happened. Just a moment ago, everything was fine-why had the Host’s emotions suddenly fluctuated so much?

Not worrying about anything else, 001 hurried to comfort her:

[Host, please calm down. I have a way to save him.]

Ruan Tian stood still for a moment. After regaining her composure, she said, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

[Sorry, Host. That was my mistake.]

001 admitted its fault immediately.

As long as she didn’t have any dangerous thoughts, if it was at fault, so be it.

“How?”

[Host, you’ve forgotten. You have a Group Healing Card. It’s just right for them.]

With 001’s reminder, Ruan Tian remembered.

Because of her powerful Self-Healing, Healing Cards and Support Cards were essentially useless to her, but they were rare and valuable to other players.

Ruan Tian took out the Starfall Meteor card.

Just as she was about to use it, 001 said: [Host, this item is a Group Healing Card. The cost is the same whether you use it on a single target or multiple targets. I suggest you include Xu Yan, Da Tou, and Li Huainan all at once.]

Ruan Tian frowned. “Understood.”

Xu Yan caught Ruan Tian’s look and stepped forward to ask, “Sister Ruan, if you have any instructions, please let us know.”

“The three of you, stay together.”

“Alright.” Xu Yan didn’t understand, but complied.

As she passed Da Tou, she gave him a hard kick. “Why are you still kneeling? Didn’t you hear what Sister Ruan said? Move.”

Da Tou tried to say something, but Xu Yan covered his mouth.

She leaned close to his ear and whispered, “If you want to save Li Huainan, just do as you’re told.”

She had seen it clearly. When Da Tou knelt down, even though the Top Player’s face was expressionless, she could still sense her displeasure.
