Chapter 37.2 - Special interest
Ludwig took Frank and Iman away from the square full of snake corpses.
Iman kept his eyes closed the whole time, not daring to look at the terrifying scene around him. Ludwig didn’t want to protect him, so Iman grabbed Frank’s coat corner cheekily and followed behind.
Frank smiled and said, “Should I post your snake phobia secret on the school forum?”
Iman glared at Frank angrily: “How dare you!”
Frank immediately waved his hand: “I don’t dare.”
Iman spoke fiercely, but the fingers holding Frank’s clothes trembled slightly.
Frank was a little amused. This omega is actually not as scary as rumored. After getting in touch with him, he found out that he’s quite cute. His personality is a little more unrestrained, and he is very active, unlike those gentle and shy omegas.
As a senior, Frank had no choice but to patiently protect him as they walked past the snake corpses.
Iman is really afraid of snakes. He usually freezes when he sees a snake, not to mention the dense crowd of them today.
When they finally left the square, Iman was exhausted. His legs were a little weak, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
As a result, the next moment, there was a gunshot from the side of the ear. Ludwig reacted very quickly, turned around decisively and grabbed Iman’s arm, and pulled him behind with a force that was so strong that Iman even had an illusion that his arm would be torn off.
Just as he was about to get angry, he saw a bullet land into the sand where he was standing just now.
Iman: “…”
It turns out that he was saving himself. It seems this person is not as cold-blooded as he appears on the surface?
The other party’s deep and cold voice followed closely next to his ear: “Be careful.”
Iman took a deep breath, nodded, and followed behind him.
Ludwig ducked and hid behind a broken wall, saying: “You guys hide, there are other players nearby.”
Frank followed vigilantly, squatting down and using the wall as cover. He asked nervously: “It seems that our whereabouts have been discovered. The shot just now was fired by a nearby player.” He looked back at Iman, and asked with concern, “Are you alright?”
Iman shook his head, “I’m fine.”
Ludwig set up his sniper rifle again, stretched it out from the gap in the wall, and opened the scope to look into the distance.
Sure enough, there were people hiding behind another broken wall not far away, at least three of them.
Frank asked, “Should we wait for the captain and the others, or rush out?”
Ludwig was silent for a moment, then said calmly, “No hurry.”
The black gun barrel protruded from the gap in the wall. Ludwig hid behind the wall, observing the opponent patiently.
However, the three on the other side were very cautious and never showed their heads.
Ludwig said: “Stay where you are, I will go around from the side.”
But this is very dangerous. Once he appears, he will probably be killed by the opponents.
Iman couldn’t help asking, “Are you confident you can go around?”
Ludwig only said one word: “Yeah.”
The next moment, he suddenly came out from behind the wall. The three people on the other side immediately shot at him. Ludwig rolled over on the spot, and three bullets landed on the sand behind him. He flexibly avoided the attack and arrived behind another wall more than ten meters away.
His movements are vigorous and agile, and his expression is calm and unwavering.
Iman was slightly startled, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
He is really handsome. Although his cold personality is somewhat annoying, he has to admit that he is different from those alphas of the same age he’s met before.
Next, Ludwig used actual combat skills such as fast running, rolling, and sideways sliding to successfully avoid the attacks. He came to a slightly higher position on the side, and squinted his eyes to aim.
Bang bang bang!
Three crisp gunshots, followed by three system prompts of Hunter eliminating other players.
In just three seconds, he opened the scope and shot continuously. Every shot was fatal.
Iman couldn’t help admiring his accuracy.

On the other side, after Luo Fei and Mo Han dealt with the vultures, they were besieged by lizards after picking up some weapons and bullets on the way.
But this time the two picked up a lot of grenades, and threw them to kill a large number of mobs. The two fought while retreating, and finally rendezvoused Ludwig and the other two.
Iman immediately ran over excitedly: “Mo Han!”
Mo Han asked, “How’s the situation?”
Iman said: “Just solved three players who attacked us!”
Mo Han nodded, then turned to Hunter and asked, “Equipment?”
Ludwig replied: “The submachine gun and the sniper rifle are almost out of bullets, and there are three grenades.”
Mo Han said: “We picked up a lot of bullets. I will distribute some to you. We should prepare for the final actual combat round in the safe zone.”
Luo Fei came over and asked, “Have you encountered any creature attacks yet?”
Ludwig nodded: “Yes, we were attacked by a group of snakes earlier.”
A group of snakes?
Luo Fei turned his head and glanced at Iman, and found that he was pretending to be calm, so he asked with concern: “Are you okay?”
If he remembers correctly, Iman is particularly afraid of snakes.
Once when Iman was brought to the palace as a guest when he was a child, Luo Fei happened to be watching a holographic video about snakes.. Iman turned around and ran away immediately, his face pale with fright. It was only later that he heard from Uncle Snow that Iman is very afraid of these slender reptiles. Besides snakes, he’s also afraid of caterpillars. Every time he sees them, his whole body will stiffen.
Fear of a certain creature is an instinctive reaction in one’s subconscious. In addition, the game is very realistic. Iman should be frightened by the snakes just now?
Hearing Mr. F’s question, Iman replied casually, “I’m all right.”
He was a little puzzled as to why Mr. F suddenly cared about him. He treated it as a polite greeting, and didn’t think much about it.
After the five people regrouped, they walked towards the safe area of the desert.
The Cambula desert map is very large, and the human remains they spawned at are just the tip of the iceberg. The safe zone is in a desert oasis in the distance, and they have to trek through a vast desert to reach the oasis. In the process, they were attacked by snakes, lizards, and vultures several times. However, these creatures only appeared in twos and threes to test their reactions, and there were no major mobs.
Even so, every time a snake appeared, Iman would nervously hide.
Luo Fei unexpectedly discovered that he actually hid behind Ludwig every time.
This discovery made Luo Fei wonder – when did Iman get to know Ludwig?
Ludwig blocked him coldly, so shouldn’t he hate him very much? In the end, he followed closely behind Ludwig, steadfastly posing as a super little follower. Luo Fei really couldn’t understand the thinking of this omega.
However, it is also a good thing that Iman no longer pesters Mo Han.
***
The five people finally arrived at the oasis after passing through the desert. At this time, there were still more than forty players surviving in the safe zone.
Ludwig suggested: “There are more players left, let’s seize favorable terrain first.”
Luo Fei nodded: “You go ahead, I’ll cover.”
Both of them have undergone special training in the academy, and survival in the wild is also one of the special training items. In a complex environment, they must quickly find a hiding place that is beneficial to them. Ludwig walked forward fast with his waist down, Iman followed him closely, then Frank, Mo Han, and Luo Fei walked at the back of the team to cover everyone.
Fierce gunshots kept coming their way, and reminders of players being killed kept showing up.
Iman followed closely behind Ludwig. His heart beat faster and faster when he saw that he had dealt with two players on the side who were attacking them. This holographic game is very exciting, but it’s a pity that he doesn’t know how to use a gun, otherwise he could shoot others.
With Ludwig and Luo Fei, two professionally trained players, the five-member team quickly found favorable terrain, set up an ambush, and shot and killed all passing players.
—Congratulations to the teams of [MH], [Mr. F], [Genius], [Hunter], and [Handsome for three seconds] for winning the game!
This victory was easier than last week’s siege mode, mainly due to the addition of Ludwig.
In the team, there was Mr. F, a master with accurate marksmanship, and Hunter was no worse than him. In addition, Mo Han is also very good at pistols and Frank is also above average. Everyone cooperated to kill their enemies.
After the game ended, the team was sent to the waiting room and did not disband immediately.
Iman took the initiative to walk up to “Hunter” and said, “I want to learn shooting, can you teach me?”
Ludwig said lightly: “If you want to learn shooting, you can go to a special shooting gallery to learn.”
Iman smiled and said: “I don’t like the instructors in the shooting gallery, can you teach me? Do you like mechs? I will give you a mech as tuition.”
Ludwig was silent for a moment, and finally agreed: “Okay.”
Iman was secretly happy, thinking about asking his father to get a better mech for this guy. As an omega, it’s very normal to him to take the initiative to give gifts to an alpha. If there’s an alpha he likes in the future that he wants to marry, he will also prepare a dowry gift for them.
Luo Fei was stunned, never expecting that his cold roommate would be attracted to Iman.
It happened to resolve his concerns.
In the future, if Iman goes to pester Ludwig, he will be able to let his Mo Han go.
