Chapter 83
: First game victory! Currently ranked 1st!
Ye Tian and his two companions ran back from the airdrop point. Just as they turned past the crates at the entrance of the Blue Room, they saw a group of people rushing out from the Blue Room.
"They're here to steal the airdrop!" Shrimp shouted.
Ye Tian didn't say anything, he simply raised his gun.
The opposing team had obviously spotted them too. The leader, Red Wolf, reacted quickly, using a tactical slide followed by kinetic propulsion to dodge behind the boxes.
But Ye Tian was faster than him.
"Da da da da da!"
The M7 already had high damage, and Ye Tian's recoil control was incredibly stable, so Red Wolf was taken down before he could even unleash his Overload Assault.
Qingchuan pulled out from the side and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Luna, who peeked out from behind.
"Da da da da!"
Luna tried to shoot a probe arrow, but as soon as the arrow touched the bow, she was riddled with holes, and the arrow futilely struck the ceiling.
Seeing that things were not going well, the last dragon activated its Tiger Roar thrusters to retreat, trying to run back to the Blue Chamber.
Shrimp had been waiting for a while. He was positioned to the side of the Blue Room entrance. As soon as the dragon landed, before it could even throw its magnetic bomb or turn its gun around, Shrimp took it down with a burst of fire.
"Beautiful!" Qingchuan exclaimed.
The three quickly looted the bag.
As Qingchuan looted the bag, he said, "Their bullets were level 3, no wonder they didn't hurt us much. My five sets of armor barely lost any durability."
"I have some level 4 ammo here, pick some up," Shrimp called out.
"The fighting is still going on over the central control bridge." Qingchuan glanced at the end of the corridor.
The gunfire was intense, coming from the direction of the bridge; at least two teams were exchanging fire.
"Walk."
Ye Tian headed straight toward the central control bridge.
The three entered the lower level of the bridge through the blue room passage. Ye Tian made a hand gesture and followed the outer stairs to the bridge surface. As soon as they peeked out, they saw chaos on the bridge. One team was stuck behind containers in the sandy rubble area, while the other team was hiding behind sandbag bunkers in the middle of the bridge. The two sides were firing at each other, and bullets were flying off the bunkers.
"No need to wait," Ye Tian said. "I'll go around to the back, you guys attack from the front."
After he finished speaking, he reached to the left and went around the bridge via the corridor on the outside.
Qingchuan and Xiaren waited in place for a few seconds, and when they heard Ye Tian's footsteps, they pulled him out at the same time.
"Da da da da!" "Da da da da!"
The two men swept through the sandy area.
The team was focused on exchanging fire with the men in the middle of the bridge when suddenly someone appeared from behind, throwing them into disarray. One man was shot in the head by Qingchuan, while the other tried to hide behind a box but was chased and beaten by Xiaren.
Upon seeing this, the team in the middle of the bridge stopped firing and rushed out to collect kills.
Just then, Ye Tian touched him from behind.
He stood on a high point behind the team on the sand, opened the scope, and aimed.
"Da da da da da!"
With a burst of fire, two of the three men who rushed out from the middle of the bridge fell to the ground on the spot, and the remaining man, with low health, tried to run away but was finished off by Ye Tian with a shot.
The last one on the sandy side was also taken down by Qingchuan and Xiaren working together.
In less than twenty seconds, both teams were wiped out.
"Holy crap, this is going so smoothly!" Shrimp was overjoyed.
Qingchuan had already started looting the bag. "Hurry up and loot, it'll be troublesome if more people come."
The three quickly cleaned up the battlefield.
Both teams were well-equipped. Ye Tian picked up a fully modified SR-25, along with some bullets and medicine.
"Let's go to the Blue Room and turn off the power," Ye Tian said.
The three went down to the blue room, and Qingchuan ran to the control panel and pressed a button. The moment the gate opened, a piercing alarm blared throughout the entire space base, and a mechanical female voice came over the loudspeaker: "The space center evacuation point is now activated. Please arrive within three minutes."
A countdown appeared on the screen: 02:59.
"It'll take another minute for the evacuation pod to land. Be careful someone doesn't try to block it," Ye Tian said, blocking the entrance to the Blue Chamber.
As the countdown reached 01:59, the roar of the evacuation pod landing could be heard in the distance.
Another minute passed, but still no one came.
"Most of them are probably dead." Qingchuan glanced at the survivor count in the upper right corner—only 4 teams left. "Let's go, the evacuation pods have landed."
Ye Tian nodded.
The three of them left the Blue Room and headed towards the CEO's building.
The CEO's building was quiet. There were a few boxes in the lobby on the first floor and a few rooms on the second floor.
"Search separately," Ye Tian said.
He went to the innermost room on the second floor, and the moment he pushed open the door, he saw a safe in the corner.
Walk over and start it.
There was a bust lying inside.
Red.
"It's red!" Ye Tian shouted.
Qingchuan and Xiaren immediately ran over and squeezed into the doorway to watch.
"Holy crap, a bust! Over a million!" Qingchuan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Shrimp was even more exaggerated, "Brother Tian, what kind of luck do you have? We searched for ages and only got a few small gold coins, but you opened a big red one right away!"
Ye Tian put the bust back into the safe, smiled, and said, "Luck, luck."
The three continued searching, but found nothing of value. After searching the entire CEO's building, they found only a few small gold pieces and a pile of miscellaneous items.
"How many supplies do we have now?" Ye Tian asked.
Qingchuan did the math, "The murders and supplies alone amount to about four million, plus your bust, it's over five million."
"How many people did you kill?" Shrimp asked.
"Twelve," Qingchuan said.
Shrimp gasped, "Twelve kills, five million resources, this would be a huge amount of gold in a normal game."
"The game is different," Ye Tian said. "You have to break through the bricks to make a difference."
"Shall we go pull the second switch?" Qingchuan asked.
Ye Tian nodded. "Let's go."
The three of them came out of the president's building and walked towards the centrifuge room.
The road was quiet; I didn't encounter a single person.
Qingchuan went to pull the switch, while Ye Tian and Xia Ren waited outside. After half a minute, the evacuation point was opened.
"withdraw."
The three ran towards the evacuation point.
As he boarded the evacuation pod and the door closed, Shrimp breathed a sigh of relief. "This is it."
The results screen popped up: 12 kills | 530 million resources | All players retreated | Survival time: 28 minutes
Qingchuan looked at the score calculation: "12 kill points, 5 loot points, 17 total."
"This round should widen the gap in points," Ye Tian said.
The team leaderboard on the screen has been reorganized, and Xia Qingtian has jumped to first place, leading the second place by nearly 7 points.
Twelve kills, 5.3 million resources, perfect evacuation, leading the score by a wide margin.
The players from other teams were all staring at the screen.
"Is this even humanly done?" someone cursed.
"Twelve kills, one team killed twelve?"
"Did they completely dominate this round?"
Wen Qian leaned back in her chair, looking at the rankings on the screen, her expression not good.
He was sitting next to Tianba Huasu and Tianba YOLO.
"This Ye Tian is something else," Tianba Huasu said.
Wen Qian didn't speak.
"We need to be careful in the next game," said Tianba YOLO. "They're in first place right now, so they're bound to get cocky and might play aggressively."
Wen Qian then spoke, "A radical approach is better."
"What do you mean?"
"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down," Wen Qian said. "The more aggressive they are, the more likely they are to make mistakes. And in the next round of brick-making, everyone has to fight for it. So what if they have the highest score? They still have to fight for the bricks, and fighting means fighting, and fighting means having a chance."
Tianba Huasu nodded, "That's right. As long as they land in a bad spot, we'll just go and ambush them."
"No need to block," Wen Qian said. "Let's play normally, grab the bricks when we need to. If we encounter them, we'll fight; if we don't, we'll focus on developing our resources. Anyway, the match is still long, five rounds."
That's what he said, but his eyes remained fixed on the two words "Ye Tian" on the screen.
The break time passed quickly.
The second game begins.
The map information on the screen has been reorganized.
Map: Space Base.
Mandel Brick Reorganization Point: Safe Room on the Second Floor of the Presidential Building.
Route: From east to west, passing through the buoyancy control center and the president's building.
Ye Tian looked at the screen without saying a word.
"President?" Shrimp was taken aback. "This place isn't easy to fight in; it's drafty on all sides."
"Where to land?" Qingchuan asked.
Ye Tian glanced at the flight path, "West District Gate."
The countdown has ended.
The three players selected operators.
Mighty Dragon, Mighty Dragon, Mighty Dragon.
It's still the same brand, Sanweilong.
The aircraft enters its flight path.
Ye Tian stared at the screen, waiting for the right moment to parachute.
"We're here," he said.
The three of them parachuted at the same time, landing towards the west gate.
Meanwhile, other teams were also landing.
