When Finn saw me, he forcibly suppressed his rage and tried to rush forward to embrace me.
“Iris, I knew you still cared about me!”
“Let’s team up! Apply now, Chloe’s almost caught up!”
But I brushed his hand away, saying softly, “Your ability is only Teleportation.”
Finn thought I felt insecure and tried to soothe me with a gentle tone.
“It’s okay, Iris. As long as we team up, Chloe will be eliminated immediately. I can share your ability, that way neither of us will die in this apocalypse…”
However, before he could even touch me, he was sent flying by a powerful impact.
Chloe arrived, fashionably late.
After killing a few teammates, her abilities now included an Invulnerable Steel Body.

Finn, on the other hand, had teammates who had almost all been misled by Chloe and picked the most useless water resource ability. His carefully built reputation had also crumbled, leaving no one willing to team up with him. As a result, his ability was no match for Chloe’s in this moment.
He watched helplessly as Chloe walked into my apartment, and I showed no intention of stopping her.
Finn was
stunned.
“You… what do you mean?”

Chloe, completely shedding her previous scowling and cold demeanor towards me, slung an arm around my shoulder, shaking with laughter.
“I’ve waited so long for this moment, just to see that sh*t–eating expression on your face, hahahahahaha!”
“Finn, when you betrayed me and Iris, did you ever think about your current pathetic state?”
”
What are you talking about? When did I ever betray either of you?”
Irolled my eyes, too lazy to explain further, and tapped away on my phone.
**[System Notification: Host ‘Iris‘ invites Host ‘Chloe‘ to join the team.]**
**[Host ‘Chloe‘ has accepted the invitation.]**
Almost as soon as the team–up acceptance notification popped up-
2:51 PM
<
**[System Announcement: Phase Two has ended.]**
**[Congratulations to Hosts. ‘Iris‘ and ‘Chloe‘! Your team has topped the points ranking and will now enter the final phase: ‘Single Boat Survival‘. Duration: one day.]**
Finn’s pupils constricted. His world crumbled.
“NO!!!”
*Iris! Are you f***ing insane?! You teamed up with her?! She’s a poisonous snake! She killed everyone! She…”
“Can you guys cut out this ‘popular kid acting like a villain‘ routine already?”
“Last life too, always saying it was all to protect Chloe, that’s why you betrayed me. But in the end, you just hogged all the abilities and resources for yourself.”
“No one’s as toxic as you.”
Finn’s eyes flickered, as if he vaguely recalled something.
But the system didn’t give him any more time.
The next second, Finn, with a bewildered and desperate expression, lost his breath and was erased.
Chloe savagely kicked his corpse a few times.
That once delicate face held no trace of pitiful innocence, only bone–deep hatred.
**[Systern Notification: Host ‘Finn‘ has died.]**
**[Host ‘Finn’s‘ ability Teleportation‘ is detected as available for seizure. Hosts ‘Iris‘ and ‘Chloe‘ may choose to seize or abandon.]**
Neither of us moved.
