26: ECMO-eliminating sequelae

"ECMO?"

"Top Secret Area?"

Liu Yan and Zhao Chuang simultaneously exclaimed in surprise.

"What is the function of the Third District's ECMO?" Liu Yan asked.

Isn't this thing an artificial lung? Liu Yan thought to himself.

"My dad said it's to eliminate all sequelae from classified operations."

By the end, Fuji's voice was already choked with emotion.

After calming down, Fuji continued to dissuade him:

"So, let's not enter the Top Secret Area. We'll just slowly earn money in the regular areas. If we don't have enough, I'll sell the guns in the warehouse."

Zhao Chuang also advised at this moment:

"That's right, Brother Yan, it's too dangerous. You already died in there before."

Liu Yan ignored the two and lowered his head in thought.

He had entered matches quite a few times already, but he still hadn't found a single pirate gold coin.

No wonder Gao Tianyu was able to be reported throughout the school just by finding one pirate gold coin.

The drop rate in the Third District was probably much lower compared to the game.

With such a drop rate, if he wanted to find a resuscitation ventilator within two months, he probably couldn't do it without entering the Top Secret Area.

This should also be the reason why Fuji's father chose to enter the Top Secret Area to find "ECMO" despite the danger.

"The risk of classified operations is a bit high. You two shouldn't go in for now."

After thinking, Liu Yan looked up and said seriously to the two.

"That's more like it. We'll just honestly... wait, us two? What about you?"

Fuji spoke halfway before realizing.

"I'll use the 1.2 million I just earned to buy equipment first."

"When I earn enough money and win the bounty match, we'll still split the winnings evenly."

After explaining to Fuji and the other, Liu Yan turned and went to the equipment stall to choose his gear.

This decision was also for their own good.

Liu Yan didn't like to put people around him in danger because of himself.

If these two were unlucky and died from a spinal injury, leaving them permanently disabled.

Or if they died from a head injury, becoming a vegetative state, then Liu Yan would never forgive himself.

After much persuasion, Liu Yan came alone to the equipment stall:

"Boss, one MK-2 Tactical Vest, one DICH Training Helmet, and one GIR Field Chest Rig."

"Which backpack do you want?" The boss looked up at Liu Yan.

"I don't need a backpack, thank you. Someone else will carry it."

After purchasing the equipment, Liu Yan went to the gun shop.

After discussing the accessories with the boss, he went to the back to start assembling.

Click—click—

Click—click—

Clack—

After assembling the firearm, the boss pulled the bolt a few times, then squeezed the trigger.

Only after confirming there were no malfunctions did he hand it to Liu Yan.

"420,000. Just scan the code."

Liu Yan scanned the code to pay, then took the firearm, which was a nearly fully modified M7 assault rifle.

This gun didn't have any particularly outstanding features, but it excelled in absolute balance.

Just the equipment and firearm alone had already cost nearly 800,000.

The remaining 400,000, plus the 100,000 savings Liu Yan had kept for himself, were used to purchase 180 rounds of Level 4 FMJ bullets.

Including consumables, Liu Yan had almost spent all the money he had.

It's worth mentioning that when purchasing consumables, the boss said he had never heard of several of the 강화 Needle (strengthening needles) Liu Yan mentioned.

After equipping himself, Liu Yan walked alone towards the entrance of the operation area.

The signpost next to it clearly read "Bakshi."

However, at the entrance, something completely unexpected happened to Liu Yan.

"Why won't you let me in?" Liu Yan looked at The Authorities personnel standing nearby, puzzled.

"Please understand, this is also for your safety."

"Because Bakshi is relatively dangerous, students cannot enter alone."

The Authorities personnel patiently explained the reason for the prohibition to Liu Yan.

Just like in the game, Bakshi only had Top Secret Area and Top Secret Area.

Liu Yan didn't expect the Third District to be the same version as the game. In the earliest days, Bakshi used to have a normal mode.

"Please understand, if you must enter, you need a team of three."

As The Authorities personnel was speaking, Liu Yan saw a middle-aged man in a Level 5 set walk straight into the Bakshi entrance.

"Why can he go in?" Liu Yan pointed at the man's back.

"He is a senior operative. Please understand."

The Authorities personnel gave an official smile and an official answer.

His youthful appearance ultimately had an impact on him. Seeing this, Liu Yan didn't intend to waste any more words and turned to leave.

There were only a little over 2 hours left until the bounty match at 4 PM, and Liu Yan really didn't have time to mess around with him.

Eventually, Liu Yan left there and turned to enter the Longbow Stream Valley.

Fortunately, the Longbow Stream Valley did not have the mandatory student team-up restriction.

As for why he didn't choose the more efficient Dam... there were too many talented people in the Dam, a fact Liu Yan had experienced countless times in the game.

Furthermore, in the Third District's normal Dam, he had even been killed by a girl hiding under a manhole cover.

The Dam's insidious old six-man spots in the game were too numerous to count, and Liu Yan didn't dare to imagine how many more insidious spots awaited him in reality.

If he cleared the map and then got ambushed by a six-man team, working for others, that would be a huge joke.

After landing, Liu Yan rubbed his eyes, confirming his landing position for this round.

It was actually the Diamond Queen Hotel, spot number one!

"Excellent!"

Liu Yan didn't rush to set off. Instead, he opened his mandel brick and equipped both the tiger squat cannon and the power propulsion device.

Strictly speaking, the Diamond Queen Hotel had many number one spots.

The one Liu Yan revived at this round was in front of Blue Harbor.

This position allowed him to either turn back and counter-attack the number one spot behind Blue Harbor or head straight for the hotel.

"Hmm... let's go into the hotel first and check the drop rate of the Top Secret Area."

After thinking, Liu Yan made a decision.

He could, of course, turn back and clear out that team, then loot the entire Blue Harbor dock by himself.

But Blue Harbor had too few resource points, and after fighting, the gunshots might also attract teams coming down from the trade bridge.

Whoosh—!

Using the power propulsion device, Liu Yan instantly flew ten meters forward, and with the continuous acceleration from landing, he ran towards the hotel.

Along the way, relying on the power propulsion device, Liu Yan quickly saw the outer wall of the Diamond Queen Hotel.

Upon reaching the outer archway of the hotel, Liu Yan cautiously listened for footsteps around him, and only after confirming no one was there did he confidently enter.

In the game, a team of enemies could also revive above the Blue Harbor dock.

And if this team also wanted to enter the hotel, they would just happen to run into Liu Yan.

"Hoo—"

By the time he reached the inner door of the hotel, Liu Yan was already out of breath.

Running at high speed while wearing his Level 4 gear and an M7 assault rifle, even with the power propulsion device, was not an easy task.

"Great, Reis didn't spawn this round."

After confirming that Reis had not spawned, Liu Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The biggest fear in Longbow Stream Valley was that after finally spawning at the number one spot, upon reaching the inner door of the hotel, he would hear classical music from inside.

Aside from close combat, Reis's kill speed wasn't as abnormal as Sayyid's, but the most disgusting thing was his several guards.

Bang bang bang—!

With a firearm, Liu Yan was like slaughtering chickens when facing the two-meter tall Asala Guard Soldiers.

After dealing with the guards with a few shots, Liu Yan first checked the bird's nest near the fountain, but no room card spawned.

Crack—!

Liu Yan imitated the game, reaching into the bird's nest for the eggs.

"Damn it!"

Aside from getting a hand full of egg liquid and bird droppings, there was nothing else.

After all, what legitimate things could you dig out of a bird's nest in reality?
