33: cruise missiles

Equipped, the two teams arrived together at the entrance of Dam Zero.

The specific area selection for the wager match was not limited to Dam Zero.

In fact, for some more serious disputes, there were even cases where players chose a Top Secret Area for a life-and-death match.

However, as students, the school would not allow such situations to occur; even a Top Secret Area was not permitted.

After all, severe after-effects like paralysis or a vegetative state are no different from death.

Ultimately, the location for the wager match could only be chosen at the ordinary Dam Zero.

Liu Yan and Lin Han each handed their 3 million to the staff member nearby and explained the situation of the wager match.

"Where will the battle take place?" Liu Yan asked Lin Han before entering.

Lin Han pondered for a moment, then casually said,

"Let's just go to the Large Power Station; it's relatively close to the center of the map."

"Alright." Liu Yan nodded.

Afterward, people from both teams embraced each other and entered the portal.

On the helicopter.

"You two hide for a bit; I'll go alone. I'll give a signal when I'm done," Liu Yan said to the two people in front of him.

Fuji and the other person nodded solemnly, their expressions very serious, which somewhat surprised Liu Yan.

The helicopter rope had been successfully deployed, and the three successfully descended to the ground using the rope.

After landing, Liu Yan began to look around.

The landing point for this round was the very edge of the world on the far left of the map, opposite the first evacuation point... This location was too far from the Large Power Station.

Even if they didn't encounter any enemies along the way and successfully reached the Large Power Station, it would consume a lot of physical energy.

If they encountered enemies midway and unfortunately died, the wager match would be immediately declared a failure.

There was no way around it; this was also part of the wager match. In the Third District, if one couldn't even survive to reach the designated location, was there any point in fighting?

Luck, in the Third District, was also a part of strength.

"I remember this location seems very far from the Large Power Station, doesn't it?"

Fuji said after carefully discerning for a while.

"You two just slowly move towards the Large Power Station and conserve your energy."

"After I kill them, I'll need you two to help me carry the equipment."

After giving instructions to the two, Liu Yan stopped talking nonsense and ran at full speed towards the Large Power Station... at the entrance of the Large Power Station.

"I didn't expect even heaven to favor me. By the time Liu Yan gets here, he'll be dead tired."

Lin Han shot down the rocket soldier on the power station's terrace with two shots and looked at the M250 machine gun in his hand with satisfaction.

Lin Han and his team, who landed at the first position, had cleared out all the bots nearby shortly after the start.

"Guo Li, see where he is."

Lin Han, who was still figuring out where to set up his gun, asked without lifting his head.

Guo Li responded and took out an item from his backpack that looked like a tablet.

And what was displayed on that small screen was the image of Liu Yan running!

Guo Li stared at the screen and replied,

"Captain Lin, he has already left the Cement Factory and crossed the bridge. At this speed, he should be here in less than five minutes."

"What?" Lin Han stopped what he was doing and looked up in surprise:

"I really overestimated him. Running at this speed, his legs will be jelly by the time he reaches the power station!"

Hearing this, the new team member also stopped what he was doing and quickly flattered him.

"With such awareness, he dares to play a wager match with Captain Lin. He's really overestimating himself!"

Lin Han ignored the new team member's flattery and began rummaging through his backpack, while also saying,

"Even so, we can't be careless. After all, he's wearing a 5-piece set, so he's still quite threatening in a head-on fight."

As he spoke, Lin Han took out a mandel brick from his backpack.

"Guo Li, you go set up your gun on the second-floor balcony later."

"Hama, you just lie low in the guard booth and don't move. Wait until Liu Yan passes by, then stand up and shoot."

After Lin Han assigned their positions to the two, the white light in the center of the mandel brick had dissipated.

If Liu Yan were present at this moment, he would immediately recognize the item in the middle as the loitering munition from Uluru in the game.

"Wait." Lin Han stopped Guo Li, who was about to go upstairs.

"Give me back the military terminal; I'll use it to coordinate with my missile later."

Guo Li nodded and handed over the military terminal in his hand.

Afterward, Guo Li and Hama went to their respective positions, while Lin Han went to the roof of the pull-switch room behind the power station.

This location was the safest compared to the other two's positions.

Furthermore, with the military terminal that intercepted military drone footage, Lin Han's loitering munition could achieve precise guidance!

"Let's see what you'll win with!"

Thinking this, Lin Han felt that victory was already in his grasp.

For the remaining time, Lin Han watched with interest the back of Liu Yan, who was running towards the power station, on the military terminal.

"Idiot."

...School Conference Hall.

"Principal! This isn't fair! He's cheating!"

"Exactly, he knows God Yan's location perfectly!"

"Stop messing with God Yan!"

Lin Han receiving drone footage through the military terminal also fell into the eyes of the teachers and students in the conference hall.

Some classmates who were in the same class as Liu Yan protested, speaking up for Liu Yan.

The principal, sitting at the front, turned around and coldly shouted,

"If you don't want to watch, get out!"

"What do you think this is? A passionate school competition? Don't forget, this is the Third District!"

"The wager match rules do not prohibit the use of special items!"

After the principal finished speaking, several students sat down dejectedly, looking worriedly at the screen.

They couldn't refute it; that's how it was in the Third District. Special items were also part of one's strength.

The prerequisite was to bear the risk of losing items after death.

After reprimanding the students, the principal also turned back and continued watching the screen.

However, a hint of complexity appeared on the principal's face.

The military terminal could receive all signal transmissions within a certain range.

If he hadn't initially proposed making it public to the entire school, such a situation might not have happened.

By then, Lin Han would at most only be able to eavesdrop on the communication within Liu Yan's team through their tactical headsets.

"Let me see, under these conditions, how far can you go?" The principal muttered to himself, looking at Liu Yan on the screen.

At the same time, he thought to himself that if Liu Yan lost because of this, he would help him bear half of the loss, but the remaining loss would be the price for Liu Yan's self-reliance.

If he had cooperated with his teammates, there would have been no drone behind the other two teammates, but Liu Yan had engaged in personal heroism.

However, what the principal didn't know was... even if he hadn't proposed making it public, Liu Yan would have broadcasted it anyway.

As for eavesdropping on the communication content within the team's voice chat... there was no communication at all!
