Chapter 7
Misfortune and Fortune Are Hard to Predict, Like a Mantis Catching a Cicada
"Someone has activated the power switch for the pipeline gate; the escape window is open. Confirm the location of the rendezvous point!"
Li Hao and the other two simultaneously heard the voice message, and green light spots automatically appeared on their goggles, guiding them to the evacuation point.
As Li Hao emerged from the control room, preparing to tell his two teammates that he had pulled the evacuation gate, he saw a prison guard furtively peeking out from behind the wall on the other side, intending to shoot at Tiger Girl and her companion.
Without a second thought, Li Hao drew his gun and fired, a single bullet precisely hitting the prison guard in the head and killing him.
After several unexpected events, the somewhat somber and depressing atmosphere in the live stream was revitalized by Li Hao's impressive skills.
"As expected, the Dragon Kingdom team is still the strongest. They took down the prison guard in seconds, even from dozens of meters away."
"These soldiers are poorly equipped; they don't even have helmets. Isn't it normal for them to be outdone?"
"The NPCs are causing a huge uproar!"
"Hey guys, didn't you see how the US team got wiped out? Even though their equipment was bad, those soldiers were so sneaky! They didn't give you a chance to fight, they just ambushed you!"
"Using level 4 ammo to shoot down regular soldiers isn't even profitable! /doge"
Viewers from all over the world were discussing the live stream from Li Hao's perspective. The initial shock of the US and South Korea being instantly killed by the NPCs was too great.
Now we see that the soldiers' equipment is so poor, and they are no different from the NPCs in other maps, they can be killed instantly by players.
The huge discrepancy made the audience, especially those from countries other than China, even more dissatisfied.
Li Hao had already reached Lao Bao. "Lao Bao, how are you? Hang in there!"
"It's nothing. What's the situation on your end?"
Li Hao then gave a brief introduction to the soldiers' equipment and combat methods to his two teammates.
"Headless and unarmored, a level 1 Bison bullet?" Tiger Girl exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief!
"Level 1 bullets can't even scratch our level 4 armor, but they just happened to hit my leg!" Old Bao said angrily.
"Yes, so let's not be too afraid. The reason those guys are hiding might be because they know they're too weak and can only resort to sneak attacks!"
"Let's go, Lao Bao, let's get out of here," Li Hao hoisted Lao Bao's arm onto his shoulder, supporting his muscular body. "There are no surgical facilities here, let's just leave!"
"Let's go! This way, you take Lao Bao, I'll lead the way!" Tiger Girl consciously walked to the front of the group and headed towards the evacuation point.
With a swift movement, two soldiers darted into a corner, fired a few shots, and then retreated.
A bullet whizzed past Li Hao's head. "Quick! Get out of here first!"
As they fled the administrative district, they discovered that many soldiers were hiding in various corners, waiting for them to pass by, fire a couple of shots, and then hide.
They can't chase them, and they can't run away from them either.
Fortunately, the armor level is high, and by protecting the exposed parts in front of various cover, it is still easy to turn the tables.
Even so, Li Hao, carrying the wounded, still had many more injuries on his body. Although they were not fatal, his arms and legs were bleeding profusely.
Tiger Girl didn't find it anywhere either. Her armor was almost undamaged, but her arms and legs were covered in scorch marks from bullets.
"Damn it, all this good armor we're wearing is completely useless! They only hit our arms and legs!"
"We can't afford to waste time with them. We have to fight our way out!" Old Bao's eyes flashed with intense killing intent. He opened a purple bottle and poured out the last pill inside.
"You're going to take this?" Tiger Girl was shocked. A fast-acting painkiller that costs 2 yuan! And it has side effects that will persist even outside of dangerous areas.
"It'll be hard to get out of here if I don't eat!" He gulped down the painkiller, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed it.
"Walk!"
After taking the medicine, I no longer felt the severe pain in my legs and could walk on my own, but I still couldn't walk very fast.
However, with the addition of combat power and the liberation of Li Hao's physical strength, the prison guards who launched the sneak attack immediately lost their advantage.
As soon as they showed their heads, they were instantly killed by the three men's superb marksmanship.
After passing through countless iron fences and heading towards the green cursor of the evacuation point, we finally arrived at an area of prison cells.
"It's just ahead!" Li Hao shouted excitedly as he saw the iron door of the prison cell with the cursor hovering over it!
This mission to explore the dangerous area was the most difficult, the most bizarre, but also the most lucrative one he had ever undertaken.
Fortunately, they finally reached the evacuation point!
Won!
The gunfire from the pursuing prison guards seemed to have stopped, and the suffocating silence of the prison returned.
Li Hao's senses were unusually sharp at that moment. He immediately sensed something was wrong and turned around to look behind him.
despair!
despair!
despair!
The harsh metallic scraping sound, accompanied by the crisp thud of military boots on the ground, replaced the original cacophony of gunfire.
Two shield bearers followed them from behind, one on each side, holding their shields high.
Between the two shield bearers, a tall, slender man dressed in black and wearing a white mask strolled leisurely with his hands behind his back.
Alarm bells rang in the hearts of all three at the same time!
At the same time, point the gun at the man in the middle!
The shield bearers and the warden stopped simultaneously a hundred meters away from them, and the two sides remained locked in a stalemate.
After what seemed like a mocking sneer, the warden waved his right hand forward lightly, and a cloud of black smoke instantly exploded.
Subsequently,
"Use bullets to warn all invaders that their end has come!"
Gherros's deep voice pierced through the smoke, striking the hearts of everyone present.
The three immediately retreated rapidly while unleashing a hail of bullets at the black smoke.
In an instant, Lao Bao's head exploded into a bloody mist, and his body slammed straight into the ground in front of them due to the impact.
Bullets continued to whistle out from within the black fog.
Global viewers and clubs were in an uproar.
"What is this? Why is there an NPC like this?"
"My God, they're just using smoke to kill people, are they even going to stop pretending?"
"Holy crap, how the hell do you even play this?"
"Those who said NPCs are all trash, come out here and see what this is!"
……
The remaining two had no time to care about others and continued running towards the evacuation point.
Only ten meters left!
Evacuation is imminent!
Suddenly, the hairs on the back of Li Hao's neck stood on end!
"Watch out!" Li Hao leaped up and tackled Tiger Girl to the ground, a bullet whistling past and hitting him directly in the left shoulder.
He felt as if half of his body had been shattered, and intense pain spread throughout his body through the bullet holes!
Li Hao gritted his teeth, his bloodied hand reaching into his pocket to pull something out, clutching it tightly, and then slammed it into Tiger Girl's palm.
Bloodshot eyes were fixed on the evacuation point ahead. "Go!"
Tiger Girl and Li Hao exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with complex emotions.
At this moment, she had no time to hesitate. She took the blood-stained USB drive from his palm and immediately ran towards the evacuation point.
Han Che raised his gun and aimed at the fleeing figure, ready to fire, when one of the shield soldiers suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the line of fire.
Then the shield exploded with loud bangs.
Li Hao rolled over and used his last bit of strength to lift Tenglong and fight back with all his might, covering Hu Mei's retreat.
Unfortunately, they were all blocked by the shield soldiers.
"You've got guts!" Han Che flashed out, and Li Hao's eyes couldn't even keep up with his speed.
He kicked him in the chest.
Li Hao then groaned and fainted.
They went to chase after the woman who had escaped, but when they entered the evacuation point cell, it was empty; she had already evacuated.
"We actually let one get away..." Han Che grinned behind his mask as he returned to the unconscious Li Hao's side.
"They're actually pretty loyal!"
