261: Lao Sai, you fell into a trap.
"Live combat training?" Su Mulan's expression first froze, then her mouth gradually widened.
"Ah?"
Su Mulan had considered that Sayyid would arrange many trials for her.
But the one thing she hadn't expected was live combat training.
Although some of the previous assessments he gave her were also so difficult that he didn't treat her like a blind Little Girl at all.
But those were still too childish compared to live combat training.
If it were a regular operative, Su Mulan could almost effortlessly crush them to victory.
Even if it were a special operative, as long as their strength ranking was lower, Su Mulan was confident of winning.
But this was Sayyid!
All her skills were taught by him!
"What a joke, Old Sai, aren't you bullying a child?"
"If you don't want to give me a reward, just say so!"
Sayyid patted Su Mulan's shoulder and said in a deep voice:
"I won't use my full strength."
"And I won't take advantage of you being blind."
"I can't distinguish buildings by sound like you can, so covering my eyes won't work, but I can block my ears."
Su Mulan pondered for a moment.
If Sayyid blocked his ears, relying only on his eyes, he would be completely unable to track her movements.
And although she couldn't see, her current hearing made eyesight less important.
Looking at it this way, she seemed to have an advantage.
But there was one more thing that worried Su Mulan.
After a moment of hesitation, Su Mulan spoke:
"But bullets are blind; what if something really..."
Even though Su Mulan couldn't see, Sayyid still shook his head.
Through the sound of his neck turning, Su Mulan could feel Sayyid shaking his head.
"You don't need to worry about that; I'll be careful."
"Oh... then I'll go all out. Don't accidentally die."
"Tell me the rules."
Swoosh—
Su Mulan opened her backpack and began to take out her equipment one after another.
Ordinary armor didn't fit Su Mulan, so she didn't wear a helmet or armor at all, only taking some weapons and mandel bricks.
"In this tower, all areas except the very top are combat zones."
"You have 20 minutes to set up any traps you wish within the tower."
"Once the time is up, it officially begins."
"Also, don't try any clever tricks, like waiting next to me until the 20 minutes are up and then shooting directly; that won't win."
After speaking, Sayyid looked down at the expensive mechanical watch on his wrist.
Although Sayyid couldn't use its abilities, he could simply use it to tell time.
"The timer starts now."
Sayyid sat down by the entrance of B3, and at the same time, he rummaged through his chest rig for a pair of sleeping earplugs and inserted them into his ears.
Not only that, but Sayyid also closed his eyes.
Su Mulan was clearly not fully prepared, and even had many questions.
But Sayyid's sudden start of the timer brought a considerable sense of tension to Su Mulan.
Without another word, she quickly ran towards the Central Control Zone with her bag.
The breeze caused by Su Mulan's running brushed against the gap in Sayyid's mask.
Knowing Su Mulan was so decisive, Sayyid nodded in approval.
If she were still asking questions after the timer started...
Then Sayyid would have to consider whether Su Mulan was truly suitable to be a hunter... 20 minutes later.
Sayyid opened his eyes and glanced at the time on his expensive mechanical watch.
Slowly standing up, he picked up the m249 light machine gun leaning against the wall.
After a quick look around, there were no traps.
"Not rushing to succeed, good."
In Sayyid's opinion, Su Mulan knew that setting traps around him was meaningless.
Because he would inevitably check his surroundings as soon as he got up.
Even near B3, there should be no traps.
Because the beginning is the most vigilant time.
But if Sayyid understood children better, he would know.
There was only one reason Su Mulan hadn't set traps around him.
She was afraid he would cheat and peek.
"The Central Control Zone is well-connected and easy to move between points. If it's filled with traps, the success rate is highest."
"The Medical Zone is more complex, with many corners, also suitable for setting traps."
"The Ocean Zone is too open, mostly straight lines, so traps are less effective, and there are too few hiding places."
"As for the first floor, you'd consider that I wouldn't go there immediately, so the focus wouldn't be there."
"And the interrogation room, you'd be trapped inside, so you wouldn't choose that either."
With Su Mulan's hearing, no matter where she was in the Babel Tower, Sayyid's words would be heard by her.
Hiding in a corner, she couldn't help but be shocked.
Sayyid hadn't even moved, yet based solely on his understanding of the terrain, he had guessed everything she was thinking.
But even so, Su Mulan's estimated win rate was still as high as 70%.
On the other side.
Sayyid walked to the entrance of the Central Control Room next to B3, not rushing to open the door, but bending down slightly.
After taking off his mask, Sayyid's nose twitched a few times.
Immediately, Sayyid's brows furrowed.
"Minus five points."
"Reason: the trap placement is too naive!"
Although he knew Su Mulan would definitely set traps in the Central Control Room.
But what Sayyid hadn't expected was that behind this single door, Su Mulan had placed at least 4 or more traps.
Plus an undetermined number of sonic traps.
This door was closest to him, and Su Mulan had passed him earlier to set the traps.
Normally, Sayyid wouldn't push this door open and walk in.
Coming to check was just to see Su Mulan's flaws.
If this was an exam for Su Mulan.
Then for Sayyid, it was like grading a paper.
After turning around and leaving, Sayyid walked directly towards the Medical Zone.
The environment of the Medical Zone was most suitable for setting traps.
If one crouched and hid, they could also use the various glass panels on the second floor to complement the traps.
Once a trap was triggered, they could immediately stand up and start shooting.
It could be said that the trap placement in the Medical Zone was particularly important.
Upon reaching the Medical Zone entrance, Sayyid squatted down and rummaged through the bushes for a while.
Then, Sayyid turned sideways and opened the door.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!
Three hidden arrows flew out instantly!
After confirming there were no other traps, Sayyid turned his gun sideways and fired a shot blindly into the corner of the room.
Bang—!
Boom—
A sonic trap was thus shot down by Sayyid's blind fire.
After entering the Medical Zone, Sayyid walked straight up the stairs.
However, before Sayyid had even fully reached the second floor, a figure suddenly rolled out!
A look of surprise appeared on Sayyid's face.
And Su Mulan's lips curved slightly upward.
This was the best trap Su Mulan had thought of!
Reverse thinking!
In her opinion.
Sayyid would be convinced that she, wanting to win, would only try her best to set traps.
Using the 20 minutes of preparation time, plus taking advantage of Sayyid's lack of hearing.
But she wouldn't.
She would ambush Sayyid in the most unexpected location!
She didn't even choose to hide around a corner to ambush him from behind.
Because a corner would be cleared out by Sayyid.
Bang bang bang bang—!!!
"Old Sai! You've fallen into the trap!"
