Doomsday Roulette

“Skill: Tracking.”

A name as simple as this comes with an equally straightforward introduction.

"Every hundred hours, the skill learner can possess three seconds of target search and lock ability, with a range of five kilometers."

When Ye Zhongming saw this introduction, he couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.

This ability might seem inconsequential, reminiscent of something like radar, and modern technology could easily replace it.

However, if one were to understand it this way, it would be too biased.

The Tracking skill appears simple, but its impact is immense. Look at its description: search for targets! How does one search for targets? Simply put, it’s like using a search engine to find something—within a five-kilometer range, anything you wish to locate can be found!

From various materials to different mutated lives, even down to a specific enemy, as long as you think of it and it’s within range, you can locate it!

This is practically like having a heavenly eye.

Note that as long as it’s within the range, it can definitely be found! This means that regardless of how well someone hides or what camouflage skills or equipment they use, they will be discovered.

In addition, it can also lock onto targets. This indicates that Ye Zhongming can launch an attack at any time! Especially when using firearm skills, the King of Cloud Summit will undoubtedly hold a natural and absolute advantage.

Watching from the side, Xia Bai, Xiao Min, Dai Zhi, and the others were also shaking their heads in amazement; this ability is truly against the heavens.

Ye Zhongming learned the skill directly, integrating and mastering it, only to discover that the Tracking ability has its limitations.

Now many pieces of equipment and skills come with descriptions, but some nuanced details can only be understood thoroughly after ownership or learning. For instance, cooldown times, attack power, resilience data, and other basic attributes all fall within this scope.

The Tracking ability is no different; after Ye Zhongming learned it, he first realized that using the skill would consume a large amount of mental energy. This isn’t a problem; with his level of mental strength, using it continuously hundreds of times is no issue… if it weren’t for the hundred-hour cooldown time.

Secondly, it also consumes some ‘vision,’ or rather, each use of it will inflict a certain degree of damage on the user’s eyesight. The longer the search time, the greater the damage, with three seconds being the maximum damage value.

However, this damage is not permanent; it can be recovered. Ye Zhongming used this ability to locate the last departing leader of the women’s camp, Ella, and indeed, his field of vision changed immediately.

It seemed as if distant places transformed into a complex network of lines, with a figure appearing at the end of this line pattern.

Ye Zhongming felt a surge of impulsiveness to shoot this woman; there was no hatred, just a desire to see what this ability could reach.

It’s worth noting that although he discovered Ella, the linear distance between them was still within five kilometers, yet there was a medium-sized snow hill blocking the view. Under normal circumstances, even if Ye Zhongming were using a sniper rifle, he wouldn’t even be able to aim.

But now, having locked onto the target, he really could launch a direct attack.

At this moment, Ella suddenly turned around, looking back at the empty ice field behind her. This sudden and large movement left Jiana puzzled and on guard, thinking that Ella had discovered some danger.

However, after looking for a while, apart from the wind and snow, she saw nothing.

“Dear, what’s wrong?” Jiana asked, genuinely oblivious to any danger; neither did the other women in the camp.

Ella shook her head in confusion and said it was nothing.

But deep down, she felt utterly bewildered; she was certain there had been a tingling, painful sensation in her back just now, an amplified sense of danger that felt unmistakable.
