"I owe you one for the kill steal," Alex says, slightly embarrassed.
"It’s fine. We have plenty more points to gather... and it looks like they’ve set up their base in the golf course. I’d say it’s time we pay them a visit."
They stealthily approach the golf course, noticing that the players aren’t even trying to keep a low profile. They’re yelling and joking, acting as if they own the entire area. The group is lounging in a wide circle in front of the golf course’s main building, and Alex and Rishi manage to hide in the nearby bushes, just a few dozen meters away.
"Are they serious? Is this some kind of trap?" Alex whispers, baffled by the situation.
Rishi's smile grows wicked, his bloody intentions plain as day. "I told you... even if we were up against a hundred of these idiots, it wouldn’t matter," he says, pulling out a heavy machine gun that looks brutally intimidating, though Alex can't identify the model.
"Let’s throw some of your grenades," Rishi suggests, a gleam of excitement in his eyes. "I’ll take the right side, and you throw yours to the left. Then, we shoot at whatever’s left, hehe take a look at how they are joking around looking like they are having a lot of fun! I can’t wait to see how their faces will look in just a few seconds! Get ready… NOW!"
They each grab two Annihilation Grenades lvl 2, lighting the 3-second fuses. Simultaneously, they throw them—Rishi’s to the right side of the group and Alex’s to the left.
Rishi’s machine gun roars with chaotic, wild bursts, the shots flying everywhere, while Alex methodically picks off targets, taking advantage of the chaos to aim at any player he can easily target.
After just a few seconds, they hear the grenades explode, Alex gets hit with dozens of notifications. Still, they keep firing, and Alex sees a few people trying to flee. He accurately guns them down, picking off targets one by one. Finally, an enemy fires back with a gun, having taken cover behind a nearby golf cart. The assailant misses twice but grazes Alex’s shoulder while he’s reloading his pistols, luckily not landing a full hit or leaving a bullet inside.
You have taken 14 damage.
You have received a minor bleeding.
Suddenly, Alex sees a massive fire spell being cast by Rishi, engulfing the last enemy and the golf cart at the same time. The screams of agony echo for a few seconds before fading, leaving behind a charred body still smoldering.
The aftermath of their assault is a smoky silence, the air thick with the remnants of their attack. Nearby plants caught in the explosions and Rishi’s spell are still burning, adding to the chaos they’ve unleashed.
The results of the slaughter? 13 dead, including the one they killed earlier, making it 14 in total.
Surprisingly, Alex managed to take out 9 of the 14, which leaves Rishi looking a bit displeased. “I guess I shouldn’t have played Rambo, wildly spraying the crowd with bullets. You were a bit more effective," Rishi admits. "Are you hurt much, by the way?”
“Don’t worry," Alex replies. "The bullet just grazed me. How do we split up the chests? I'll take 6 more, you get the rest okay?” He temporarily removes his armor and clothes, clumsily using the medical supplies he picked up at the hospital to disinfect and bandage the wound.
“Sure!” Rishi agrees with a grin. They both gather the bloody chests after Alex finishes his treatment. Alex now holds 9 bloody chests in his inventory and calculates, "At 1% to 20%, I get somewhere between 9% and 180% of the average player's items. Nice!"

Alex laughs. “Oh my god, we are so going to win. The only way for them to beat us is if they target us... oh..."
Rishi chuckles, “Didn't think about that, did you? Don’t worry! More people targeting us means more bloody chests for us. And if they’re smart, they’ll realize we’re not going down easily if we’ve racked up this many points in just a few hours.”
"Anyway," Rishi continues, "let's check out the museum. According to their website, it's a museum of Tibetan art. I have to admit, I’m somewhat interested! Also, we now have targets on our backs. Let’s not bother heading north to their likely spawn point. Instead, we’ll take up a defensive position... and the museum is a perfect spot for an ambush. Other players will come for us, and we can loot the most valuable pieces at the same time."
As Alex and Rishi walk towards the museum, they come across a crowd of rioters and gangs still celebrating in the streets. Alex shares what he remembers from the movie, especially about the “fake” gangs hired by the NFFA that will arrive later. They arrive at the museum to find it already being ransacked.
“What now? We need to change our plan fast, right?” Alex asks, eyeing the chaos.
Rishi’s expression shifts to his trademark, sweet smile as he responds, “Alex, my friend, I have a question for you: have you ever robbed a bank before?”
Alex stares at him, speechless. "..."
