Chapter 442: Demolishing Buildings? A Fantastical Tactical Idea! |
If there was anything more terrifying than guarding a doorway with a shotgun,
it was replacing that shotgun with a machine gun with a 150-round belt feed, no overheating issues, and deployed on a stable bipod.
RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT——!!!
Tongues of flame spat as dense bullets exploded forth!
A storm of bullets like a violent tempest, traced by the light of tracer rounds, swept across like lasers, instantly riddling the doorway with holes!
The Blue team soldiers who had charged in didn't even have time to react!
In an instant!
The area before the Central Tower's entrance transformed into a death zone shrouded in blood mist!
Four full squads attacking!
In the blink of an eye!
Not even time for a single breath!
Over half were instantly wiped out, with only one squad remaining outside, pinned down behind concrete barrier cover, unable to even lift their heads!
'OHHHHHHHHH--! ! !'
Accompanied by Qiezi's screen-spamming!
The live audience erupted in gasps of astonishment!
'HOLY——SHIT——!!!'
'He's gone completely insane! This thing is absolutely terrifying when set up!'
'It's literally like target practice'
'No wonder in real wars they'd pay any cost to take out enemy machine gun positions, this thing...'
'This is completely different from the useless machine guns in PUBG!'
'Bro's just farming the kill leaderboard, right?'
'Satan's gonna wake up tomorrow morning and find himself dropped to second place'
'Too fierce, Brother Qiezi!'
'Madman Qiezi——!'
......
And at this moment!
Shourd crouched behind the concrete barrier, shaking his head frantically to clear away the flying debris and dust:
"SH——IT!!!"
"What kind of monster is this? Machine guns in PUBG don't have this kind of firepower?!"
That's right!
The only 'surviving remnant' in the team that organized the charge to capture the Central Tower was them.
And now, they were being mercilessly suppressed by Qiezi's frenzied machine gun fire behind the concrete barriers outside the point.
Completely different from the PUBG and APEX gaming experience!
The rumbling battlefield explosions and frenzied sweeping machine gun fire tightened his nerves to the breaking point!
An unprecedented sense of war terror almost instantly enveloped and swallowed him whole!
Had to admit, although this game somewhat diluted the competitive atmosphere due to increased team sizes,
Here!
Everyone's shouts were desperate screams, adrenaline surging so hard they trembled uncontrollably, even blanking out as they threw themselves into this intense battle!
Without exaggeration, Shourd would bet that eighty percent of them charged forward on pure passion alone, then got confusedly swept into bloody mist by the machine gun.
Those still clinging to life on the battlefield had to find a way to chew through this tough nut!
After all, their main battle tank was currently engaged with the Red team's tank again, and the armed helicopter couldn't achieve precise strikes on the firing positions inside the tower.
RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT——!!
"F——CK!!!"
Shourd was swept until his scalp tingled, cursing constantly:
"CAN'T——GET——IN——!!!"
Teammate Taco leaned against another concrete barrier, waving his hands repeatedly:
Exactly!
They had actually tried attacking during the machine gun's reload moments earlier.
But unfortunately, the guy providing cover inside, Xtt, like Shourd, was also a naturally gifted FPS player.
How could Xtt, holding advantageous terrain, easily allow threats to Qiezi!
"FLANK——!"
After a moment, Shourd gestured a circling motion with his hand:
"Flank around! Get behind them! The back door!"
"No way!"
Chadd leaned beside Shourd, shaking his head repeatedly:
"Shit!" Hearing this, Shourd couldn't help but curse angrily, while machine gun suppression fire whizzed overhead again.
Can't enter frontally, smoke grenades can't block the Type 88's wild sweeping, back door is hard to push through...
Looking up at the point about to be fully captured by the Red team, Shourd slapped his thigh in frustration!
SMACK!
Eh?!
Suddenly!
A hard object in his leg equipment pouch sparked an idea.
Eureka.
Under the powerful fire suppression, Shourd pulled out equipment from his tactical pack.
Plus a remote control.
C4 explosive.
This was the tactical equipment he specifically chose during the equipment selection screen.
Because this thing was positioned relatively further back in the list.
And according to GW's consistent style, equipment placed further back usually required experience or points to unlock in the full version.
He'd just brought it out of curiosity, wanting to test its power during the demo version when all equipment was unlocked.
Now, the C4 seemed to open a door to an alternative approach for him.
"Hiss——"
Shourd thought deeply:
"Hey guys.... You think... this thing could blow open the wall, let us breach from the side??"
Huh——?
Hearing this, his three teammates all looked at him with question marks on their faces.
Buddy, what life experiences led you to such an unrealistic tactical idea?
Meanwhile, the chat barrage in Shourd's livestream chat erupted in laughter——
This guy said in PUBG before that he wished C4 could blow open walls
My assessment is he's overthinking it...
I think PUBG only lets you use this on specific vault wall points?
Blowing open walls is too ridiculous, it's just a game after all?
Have you seen PUBG let you casually demolish houses? Or APEX let you destroy buildings?
HAHAHAHAHA if APEX had building destruction that'd be insane? Bangalore + Gibraltar ultimates dropped, they'd blast Kings Canyon into Kings Plain
Probably still need the tank for that
What about the infantry fighting vehicle? Haven't seen it come for support...
The IFV just got destroyed by Red's armed helicopter, waiting for redeployment
'.....
The chat barrage burst into laughter, teammates covered in question marks.
Whether currently watching or participating in this battle, wouldn't dare say one hundred percent, but at least ninety-nine percent were veteran gamers with many years of experience.
After all.
Even Golden Wind, hailed as the "second-generation FPS father" with the world's most advanced game design thinking, hadn't incorporated such fantastical physical destruction effects in any of their numerous shooters.
Even their two latest FPS games——Call of Duty and Payday——also lacked this "arbitrary physical destruction" design.
After all.
Games are just games after all.
Games can't be one hundred percent like reality.
"But..."
Shourd hefted the C4 in his hand:
"How will we know if we don't try?"
Things are already this bad anyway!
Our tank won't provide support anytime soon, the point is about to be captured by the Red team!
Instead of just waiting here getting suppressed by machine gun fire, why not try exploring this option?
Hearing this!
The other three teammates exchanged glances.
Fair point.
Although reinforcements were continuously respawning and heading here now,
the saying "one man can hold off ten thousand" held true—if they couldn't take out the machine gun position inside the tower, sending more people would be pointless.
After a moment of silence.
"COVER ME!!!"
From behind the cover, Shourd's explosive shout rang out!
Immediately after!
9n and Shadd abruptly leaned out from behind cover, firing precise bursts at Qiezi's firing position inside the tower!
RAT-TAT-TAT——!!!
RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT——!!!
Instantly, webs of fire interwove!
Seizing this opportunity, Shourd suddenly sprang up, crouch-running toward the side of the tower!
RAT-TAT-TAT——THUMP——!!!
A blood flower bloomed!
Beside him, 9n's neck erupted in a spray of blood mist, the impact of the bullets even forcing him back half a step.
With a CLANG!
He fell dead on the spot!
And just moments later!
The other teammate covering him, Shadd, was also taken out by Xtt's precise shooting,
Even Taco, who had been covering him all the way and moving with him, couldn't escape misfortune, falling just one second before escaping the machine gun's fire range.
RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT——!!!
Dense bullets shot fiercely into the concrete before the tower entrance, sparking flashes of light and sending debris flying!
In the distance, artillery fire interwove, the main battle tanks' duel blasting the main road full of holes!
Ahead, on the Huangpu River surface, airships crisscrossed, two jet skis exchanged fire amidst swiftly splashing waves!
The smoke of battle drifted over in rolling clouds.
With a BUZZING sound behind him, Shourd turned back in panic to discover that, having just escaped the machine gun's fire range, he was now targeted by a light helicopter.
Right now!
Large numbers of respawned comrades were sprinting across the open artificial island terrain with no cover!
If the light helicopter got into position, those getting mowed down wouldn't be just him alone!
In a flash!
As the helicopter behind him drew closer, he could even hear its side-mounted machine guns warming up!
WHIRRR——
WHOOSH!
In that instant!
Shourd threw the C4 in his hand, and it stuck with a TAP against the tower's side wall.
Everyone's breath froze at that moment.
The next second——
BRRRRRRR——RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT——!!!
As the light helicopter's machine gun fire pierced through Shourd's body,
his hand simultaneously pressed down on the detonation remote in his grasp.
Dozens of casualties, the point's initial ownership—all hinged on this millisecond!
CLICK.
The detonator emitted a crisp sound.
A violent flash of fire suddenly burst forth on the tower's side wall!
