Luke could vaguely hear people talking. They weren't very loud, but they were scattered all over the place.
Luke calculated silently, only to be surprised. How many people were involved exactly? There had to be dozens of them.
Very soon, the back of the truck was opened, and Luke and Selina were carried out and put on the ground.
They were still leaning against each other, and the people didn't seem to want to separate them.
The noises around them suggested that the family had been moved as well.
A moment later, a man said, "Wake them up. I'm going to tell them the rules of the game."
Luke was refreshed by a cool sensation.
It was cold water, and he felt very comfortable when he splashed it on his face.
But he didn't move, and simply paid attention to the reactions of his companions.
It wasn't until Selina moved in a daze that he reacted.
Selina woke up, but it was obvious that she hadn't completely woken up. The anesthetic wasn't light at all.
She asked vaguely, "What's going on?"
The man from before continued, "Welcome to our amusement park! Detective Selina! Detective Luke! Oh, and you've got four unexpected teammates, Detective Bob and his three family members. You're lucky that someone is playing this game with you. It should've been just the two of you, but Detective Bob suddenly barged in. Congratulations. "
Selina was still dizzy when she saw the people wearing all kinds of masks. "What are you talking about?"
On the other side, Bob was a little more clear-headed. "Who are you? What do you want? "
"Hehe. The answer is simple. Now that you've joined our game, do you want to know what it is? "The man said with fanaticism and mockery.
Bob asked, "What game? You're breaking the law, do you know that? "
The man burst into laughter. "Yes, we're breaking the law. But … who knows? Is it your Cleveland Police Department? Or the Houston Police Department that these two young detectives belong to? "
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Alright, enough chit-chat. Congratulations, you're now participants in a real-life hunting game, and you're the prey. "
For a moment, neither Selina nor Bob said anything, and Luke pretended to be dead.
He was a police officer who had just graduated from high school, and he should act weak.
"Sigh, how boring." The man sighed. "I'll tell you directly. In five minutes, the game will begin. In this game, you are the prey. Do you understand? Just like a wild boar or an elk, if you don't try to escape, you'll be killed! "
Luke already knew that these guys were a bunch of perverts who amused themselves with real people.
Killing people was not the point. The point was to enjoy the process of killing people like they were prey.
During this period of time, he had roughly determined the number of vehicles and people within his line of sight.
All seven of them were SUVs. There were pickup trucks, SUVs, and professional SUVs. Behind him, there were at least four or five other cars.
There were more than ten cars in total, not including the three pickup trucks that had transported them here.
There were at least two people in each car, and some even had four. In this way, there were at least thirty people in the dozens of cars, and at most fifty people.
What the f * ck … where did this crazy gang come from? No one found out what they were doing?
But with a thought, Luke knew that no one really would notice.
In a sparsely populated Texas, as long as it wasn't confirmed murder and evidence was found, what was the big deal about a few tourists disappearing?
Even Matt from the Houston Police Department didn't return after visiting his family. What was the point?
Besides, they weren't local police officers. They were civilians here.
There was no way to keep track of the number of people who disappeared on the road in America every year.
In a sparsely populated area, it wasn't surprising to occasionally find the bones of an unknown person from decades ago. It was so common that the police couldn't even investigate it.
While Luke was thinking, Selina was about to say something.
He cursed inwardly, "Silly girl. There are dozens of people here. What's the use of your words?"
Pretending to be weak, Luke leaned toward Selina and buried his face in her chest. He pressed one hand against her butt and quickly pinched her.
Selina was stunned for a moment. Looking at Luke, whose face was pressed against her chest, she seemed to suddenly understand something, and swallowed the curse she was about to say.
Was Luke's body too changeable? Selina was probably the only person in the world who knew this better than anyone.
She could already speak, so why was this guy still acting like he was addicted to anesthesia?
Coupled with the pinch on her buttocks, her dazed mind cleared up, and she immediately understood that he wanted her to shut up.
On the other side, Bob's family was much more active.
Bob was cursing, and his wife, daughter, and son were shouting and crying in confusion, as if they didn't know what was going on.
Maybe it wasn't that they didn't know what was going on, but that they had a vague idea of what they were going to encounter later, and their minds were already collapsing.
"Okay, we're leaving now. You have five minutes to hide. Then, the hunting game officially begins! Remember, only the victors survive. "The man whistled, and the cars surrounding the six of them all started up and drove off.
Luke waited until it was dark again before he quickly observed his surroundings.
This was still a wasteland with a lot of woods.
But the woods weren't dense or big, and anyone hiding in them could be seen at a glance.
Those people had different weapons, but there were basically only two kinds: bows and crossbows.
Among them were the most common modern bows and military crossbows, but there were also some weirder crossbows. Some of them only had pistols in their holsters, but they weren't holding them in their hands.
Clearly, these people were treating this as a game, not a battle.
Luke quickly took off his T-shirt and wrapped it around Selina's feet, while he himself was barefoot.
His physique was almost five times that of a regular person, and the soles of his feet were a lot harder than those of a regular person.
It was uncomfortable to walk barefoot, but it wasn't unbearable.
Selina, on the other hand, would definitely fall to her knees in pain after every few steps.
The ground here was littered with pebbles and miscellaneous trees. Running was no different from stepping on pieces of glass.
As for why he didn't take off Selina's clothes?
Uh, she only had a sports bra and shorts. Other than covering the important parts, she didn't have any extra fabric.
