Ten seconds later, Luke approached the two yachts.

It was understandable that security here was so sloppy since they were on the other end of the lake.

Luke had Selina with him, and the players thought it was highly unlikely that both of them would be such fast swimmers.

Most of the players were still searching on the other side of the lake.

None of them knew that before they realized it, Luke had already swum hundreds of meters with another person on his back.

When he approached the yacht, Luke had Selina grab onto a column under the pier. He then quickly climbed up the column.

Both guards were facing the head of the pier, and were obviously waiting for other people.

When Luke snuck up on them from behind, they were still smoking and talking.

Hearing the familiar voice and the remark on Selina’s figure, Luke bared his teeth. Gotcha!

He lunged forward, cracking the surface of the pier that he was standing on, and when he reached the two guards, he punched one of them in the back of the head.

He didn’t know if he killed the guard, but even if he were rescued in time, the guard would be a paraplegic for life.

In the meantime, Luke grabbed the other guard’s neck and choked him, preventing him from screaming, before he punched the guard in the stomach with his right fist.

After everything was done, he quickly examined the guards for weapons.

As it turned out, they didn’t have anything but two knives on them.

Luke wasn’t too disappointed. He put on the clothes of one of the men and went back to pick up Selina, who was still clinging to the column.

The silly girl was already shivering.

She didn’t have Luke’s extraordinary physique. After lingering in the lake in the middle of the night for so long, she was freezing.

Luke quickly covered her with the jacket of the smaller guard, and told her to stay put. He then jumped into the yachts and searched them.

Two minutes later, he jumped back to the pier with a small bag and a long stick that looked like a speargun.

At that moment, the second guard was finally done retching, and tried to stand up.

Luke squatted next to him and said, “You haven’t forgotten what you said earlier, have you?”

The man seemed terrified.

Instead of waiting for an answer, Luke simply stuffed a towel into the man’s mouth, so violently that his mouth was almost torn open.

Then, Luke stomped on the man’s left hand.

Eyes wide, the guard screamed into the gag.

Indifferent, Luke stomped on the man’s other hand with his other foot, before he drove the nails into the man’s hands and into the pier.

The guard’s eyes rolled back and he passed out.

The whole process only took twenty seconds. Picking Selina up again, Luke ran for another few minutes.

He still chose areas with thick tree cover. Eventually, he stopped at a hollow.

It was a space under two rocks, which was blocked by a fallen tree; no one hiding inside would be seen unless they were observed from up close.

Luke put Selina in the hollow and said, “Don’t run, keep quiet, and hide yourself well. I’ll be back soon. Take this speargun. Shoot anyone except me!”

He was about to leave, when Selina pulled on his clothes and said, “Safety! Safety first!”

Luke smiled and hugged her. “I’m smarter than you.”

He left the hollow and returned the way he came.

He had been as fast as a stallion earlier, but he walked at a normal speed on the way back.

On his way, he took out two bottles of water from the bag and drank them up.

A normal person would’ve destroyed their kidneys if they drank that much water after such intense exercise.

But not Luke.

Given his physique, his body’s internal circulation was much faster than that of a normal person. He needed the water to dissolve the sedative in his system.

He wasn’t sure how he had been drugged, but drinking more water couldn’t hurt.

He soon returned to the lake. There were four cars near the pier, and a bunch of people around the two guards.

They were questioning the unlucky guy whose hands had been broken by Luke, because they couldn’t wake up the guard that Luke had knocked out.

It was rather amazing that none of them cared about his injuries, and were simply throwing questions at him.

Luke sneered at the guard who was screaming miserably as he answered the questions.

Players!

They might have the best equipment, but they weren’t experts. Even though the game seemed insane, they weren’t professional killing machines.

They were all questioning the wounded guard, and nobody paid attention to their backs.

Of course, Luke knew why they were being so careless.

Bob’s family was hopeless. Bob would be heavily wounded, if not dead, unless he had abandoned his family and escaped on his own.

Now, only Luke and Selina were on the run.

With the drug in their systems, they shouldn’t have any strength right now.

On the players’ side, they had more than thirty people, who were all equipped with bows, pistols, night vision gear and walkie-talkies.

Regular officers wouldn’t dare retaliate, even after successfully escaping.

Two versus dozens was rare even in video games, let alone in real life.

However, Luke was different.

He had killed more than a hundred scumbags in total in the past four months, and it wasn’t his first time fighting fifty people on his own.

Luke walked unhurriedly toward the crowd, as if he were one of the players who was joining his fellows.

It took him no more than ten seconds to reach the crowd from where he had been staking them out twenty meters away.

Luke’s target was a man who was standing on the top of a car and looking down at the two injured guards.

Luke got on the top of the car nimbly, but he still made a slight noise.

The man subconsciously turned around, but tremendous pain burst in the back of his head, and he passed out before he saw Luke.

Sticking close to the man’s back, Luke kept him from falling while he quickly grabbed the man’s Beretta 92FS and his magazines.
