Chapter 492: My friend said this round doesn't need a single cut. |
The faint suppressed pistol shots continued to tap-fire!
The explosive defensive submachine gun spat fire!
Gunshots from two different directions rang out almost simultaneously!
Everything happened in an instant!
In the blink of an eye, two figures had already fallen one after another!
Bullets slammed into Donggua's body, instantly downing him.
Meanwhile, the IQ across from him was headshot, crimson blood spraying from her right temple as her body thudded heavily to the ground.
"Holy shit! Awesome, Bro Qiezi! Awesome—!!!"
Donggua's voice echoed in the team voice chat.
That's right!
Just moments ago, when IQ breached the window, the sound of the barricading wood plank being smashed, though unnoticed by Donggua, coincidentally reached Qiezi, who was defending the B-site Press Room!
So, following the direction of the sound, Qiezi chased IQ's footsteps all the way to the second floor.
Just in time to witness the "Pulse looking for his mom" scene!
Qiezi was utterly dumbfounded:
"Huh? What the hell are you doing aiming that camera? The enemy is right in your face, why aren't you shooting?"
"I didn't see her!"
Donggua retorted with righteous indignation:
"I saw the chat barrage saying her gadget's detection range is farther than my camera! And hers doesn't require putting her gun away, unlike my gadget that needs both hands to hold! It's just fucking overpowered!"
Ah—!
In the end, he still suffered from not properly studying the gadgets!
Donggua sighed, then waved his hand and wriggled towards Qiezi's direction:
"Quick, quick, quick, pick me up, I'll follow you and call out positions..."
Right, although currently, both Donggua and IQ are lying on the ground.
Because Donggua was downed by a torso shot, he still has a sliver of life left. He can be revived through teammate assistance or certain healing skills to return to the fight.
But IQ, who was headshot, isn't so lucky, as headshots mean instant death with no chance for struggle.
"Help, help, help..."
*Shuffle—shuffle—*
Donggua wriggled towards Qiezi while calling for aid.
And Qiezi also started moving, wanting to quickly run to Donggua's side to pick him up.
But at that moment!
—!!!
Suddenly!
A violent explosion erupted from the first-floor lobby!
Immediately after!
XTT's urgent shout rang out in the team voice chat:
"Holy shit! The enemy blew open my main door Armor Panel! They're smoking and planting! Fall back! Quick, quick, quick!"
Hiss—!!!
Hearing this!
All four remaining players in the squad took a sharp breath!
Unbelievable!
That Breach who was playing mind games with Old Ma in the underground garage, unable to enter the basement for the longest time, had actually repositioned and gone to the main door to breach the Armor Panel!
And they knew the main door's location.
Wide open!
The bombsite is less than five meters directly opposite the entrance. Once the Attackers breach the main door, planting the bomb through smoke would be child's play!
Thinking of this!
Qiezi had no time to delay, turning to leave immediately!
As for Donggua, currently lying on the second-floor hallway?
If memory serves, Qiezi recalls that his healing gun can heal teammates from a distance.
Not only is the range long, but the speed is also fast. It's all about instant recovery—a quick jab and the downed teammate can immediately get back up, saving the time needed to revive them.
And right now!
What they need most is time!
Thinking of this!
Qiezi couldn't help but roar:
"Donggua, don't move!"
A moving target makes the healing dart harder to hit, so Qiezi told Donggua to stop struggling to wriggle towards him.
Then he reached back to his waist!
In a flash!
The feeling of his fingers touching a gun grip came. Without the slightest hesitation, Qiezi drew the healing gun from his waist and pulled the trigger, aiming at Donggua's location!
"I'll save you—!"
*Click!*
!!!
A deafening gunshot echoed in the narrow stairwell!
The sleek, long barrel of the large revolver pointed straight!
As fire spat from the muzzle, a bullet struck perfectly in the center of Donggua's forehead, a spray of blood blossoming!
Donggua, deceased.
A red triangular warning icon appeared on Qiezi's UI—
[You have damaged a teammate, friendly fire damage reflection has been activated]
"Ahhh—! Holy shit—!"
The next second, Qiezi's shocked exclamation exploded through the livestream:
"Fuck me, I grabbed the wrong gun!!!"
And Donggua's furious roar immediately followed, detonating in the team voice chat:
"FUCK YOU! Qiezi! You're a fucking idiot—!!!"
Boom—!!!
The livestream chat instantly exploded!
"Pfft hahahahahahahaha—"
"Holy shit! So accurate! Bro Qie!"
"Fuck hahahahahaha... pulled out the revolver instead of the healing gun hahahahahaha..."
"No wonder you told Donggua not to move! Fuck, easier to aim, right? (dog head)"
"Damn accurate! One-tap headshot!"
"Can't hold it in anymore, fuck..."
"Hahahahahahaha attacking my own teammate!"
"Colonel Liu Peiqie acting as the supervising officer, personally executing the defeated soldier."
"Abstract, too abstract hahahahahaha..."
"Revolver quack doctor!"
"[I'll save you]"
"Physically transcending him to the afterlife, that's what this is..."
"Physically transcending is too fucking funny hahahahahaha..."
"Accuracy I never imagined possible."
"So accurate at killing teammates, one bullet one headshot, watch and learn."
"Donggua's play this round is just too fucking abstract, holding that camera the entire round, didn't fire a single shot, and in the end got executed by Colonel Liu Peiqie."
"My friend said this round doesn't need a single cut."
"National banquet!"
"Directly planting rice in my mouth..."
"Stop feeding us, Bro Qie, stop, really can't eat anymore hahahahahaha..."
"Laughing till I puke..."
...
One shot!
Headshot!
For a moment, the team voice chat was filled with Qiezi's guilt-ridden explosive laughter and Donggua's Impudent Fury Cybertronian language!
Seems like Qiezi's side can't be relied on much.
Fortunately, though, Liu Di, who had just blown up the Flash Shield moments ago, was in a good position.
He was currently in the underground locker hallway.
Hearing the commotion upstairs, he immediately turned and rushed back towards the first floor.
Since he came down via the spiral staircase, he naturally chose that route for the fallback, as he was relatively more familiar with it, and from a positional standpoint, it was also closer to the lobby bombsite.
"I'm coming, XTT! Hold on! I'll be right there!"
Saying this!
Liu Di sprinted all the way towards the direction of the spiral staircase.
However!
Before his words even finished!
*Ratatat—!*
Suddenly! Gunfire erupted!
Hiss—?!
Since the spiral staircase leads directly up to the main stairwell where XTT was.
At such close range, XTT naturally heard the gunfire from downstairs with crystal clarity!
There's still an enemy in the Basement Level?!
"General Di? General Di?!"
XTT called out twice in quick succession in the team voice chat!
Hearing no response, he couldn't help but feel a pang of panic!
Fuck! Bad! Something's wrong!
He wanted to enter the spiral staircase to investigate, but didn't dare act rashly—
Because right now, right outside the main door opposite, a big sniper was holding an angle on his position.
This is fucking...
For a moment, sweat beaded on XTT's forehead.
How to play this?
The bomb had been planted, the countdown had begun.
Even a gifted young FPS prodigy seemed at a loss for tactics.
He looked around, trying to find the key to breaking the situation from the surrounding terrain.
And right at that moment!
His peripheral vision accidentally swept over the lobby ceiling, and XTT's eyes suddenly lit up!
On that ceiling, a semi-circular glass-domed device attached to the ceiling caught his attention—
A camera.
After all, everyone was experiencing this game for the first time, so they weren't very sensitive to things like cameras yet. Sometimes, even if scanned, they couldn't find where the camera was.
And this undoubtedly created more opportunities for the Defenders to gather information!
Thinking of this!
XTT hurriedly took out his phone, opened the monitor, and started checking each camera feed one by one—
And the first to appear was the Basement Level surveillance feed.
The garage was in complete disarray, Old Ma's corpse lay on the ground, the scene stained with bloodstains.
The archive room was dead silent. Though it seemed calm, it wasn't hard to notice the ceiling panel in the corner had been opened.
Switching to the locker hallway feed, the Flash Shield's body lay twisted and crumpled on the ground, surrounded by explosion debris.
However!
Just as XTT was about to switch feeds again!
Suddenly!
A figure lying on the ground entered the frame from the camera's blind spot.
In the slightly grainy, greenish-tinged surveillance footage, an Operator wearing a hooded olive green camouflage combat uniform was currently lying on the ground, slowly and laboriously crawling backward.
From his demeanor, it wasn't hard to see he was both desperate and panicked.
Facing the direction of the camera's blind spot, he retreated with difficulty and terror, waving his hands repeatedly.
The burst wound left a shocking trail of crimson bloodstains on the ground.
Like a dying fish, like meat on a chopping block.
He desperately shrunk backward, straining to crawl towards the spiral staircase.
And the appearance of this figure also made XTT on the first floor shudder all over!
Because this Operator lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, was none other than Entry Denial Device Liu Di!
Clearly!
He was shot from behind the moment he tried to go support the first floor!
But!
Who downed him? And why is he so terrified? Judging by the direction he's facing, it seems there's another person in the camera's blind spot?
"General Di...? General Di!"
XTT urgently called out to Liu Di in the team voice chat!
And the next second, Liu Di's terrified voice also appeared in the team voice chat!
"I... fuck... fuck, don't you..."
"No, no, no... wrong, wrong, wrong... really wrong..."
"Fuck, really don't—!!!"
And as Liu Di's terrified screams echoed!
The person who had been hiding in the surveillance blind spot also stepped into view!
*Tap.*
Thick, pitch-black military boots stepped through the sticky bloodstains, emitting a grating, teeth-clenching sound of footsteps.
The black combat uniform was slightly wrinkled, and coupled with the heavy ballistic vest, made his already burly and imposing physique appear even more menacing.
The grainy, flickering surveillance footage was already somewhat blurry, and with the bulky gas mask strapped to the burly Operator's face, XTT couldn't make out this Operator's features at all.
However, the large bald head bound by the gas mask was particularly eye-catching.
Right now!
This burly, bald giant was taking slow, steady steps, like a vicious, ruthless criminal, slowly approaching the downed Entry Denial Device.
And what made XTT's hair stand on end even more was—
In the bald giant's hand, he held a massive hammer nearly half a person's height, its hard, heavy hammerhead about the size of half a human head....
