46: Offline reality

On the other side, Mohican Fatty was also already climbing down.

However, Gao Tianyu, who was on the top floor of the Babel Tower, had no intention of climbing down at all.

"The time should be about right."

After roughly calculating the time in his head, Gao Tianyu took a bottle of painkiller from his chest rig, poured out one pill, and put it in his mouth.

Bang—

Almost exactly as Gao Tianyu had estimated, a faint sound came from not far away, like something falling.

Immediately after, rapid gunshots and faint footsteps rang out.

Two sets of footsteps rushed towards one of the elevator entrances at top speed.

It was the elevator entrance on the side Mohican Fatty had chosen, near the Medical Zone.

Clearly, Mohican Fatty was completely dead.

After the gunshots rang out, Zhao Qian, who was slowly climbing down the elevator shaft on the other side, his pupils constricted, and he decisively grabbed the rappel rope and descended quickly.

"I'll fight you guys to the death!!!"

Upon reaching the first floor, Zhao Qian quickly ran towards the elevator shaft where the fatty was.

Gao Tianyu's face showed no surprise; he calmly estimated the time, then reached out, grabbed the rappel rope, and descended to the central control room.

Bang bang bang bang —————!!!

Bang bang bang bang bang bang ———!!!

After a brief moment of calm, gunshots rang out again, but only for one second before abruptly stopping.

Zhao Qian, who had the first move, only managed to take out one enemy before being instantly killed by concentrated fire from the other two.

And before that, Gao Tianyu had already snuck out from the side door of the central control room and was hiding behind a flowerbed.

In fact, several bullets fired at Zhao Qian even grazed the top of his head.

Beep beep ——— beep beep ———

Through Zhao Qian's death just now, Gao Tianyu had roughly determined the general positions of the few people.

Hearing the rescue sound, Gao Tianyu quickly got up and, in a moment, locked onto an enemy who was setting up a shot.

However, due to the presence of the flowerbed and bushes, that enemy did not see Gao Tianyu immediately.

Bang bang bang bang bang ———!!!

Gao Tianyu's AUG fired several shots in quick succession, almost all hitting the opponent's chest.

The extreme stability of the AUG perfectly compensated for Gao Tianyu's weakness of being too thin to control recoil effectively.

After killing the enemy who was setting up, Gao Tianyu rushed at top speed towards the enemy who was performing the rescue.

Since the rescuing enemy was pressed against the corner of the wall, Gao Tianyu couldn't hit him immediately.

After his teammate's death, that enemy quickly canceled the rescue and instead aimed his weapon forward.

At this time, both of them were pressed against the wall, which was L-shaped; that enemy was tightly against the vertical part, while Gao Tianyu was tightly against the horizontal part.

It seemed like a fair gunfight environment for both, but in reality, it was not.

Because that enemy was further from the corner, he could only passively hold his position but could not actively attack.

And Gao Tianyu could choose to peek and shoot at any time, or perform a quick peek.

Furthermore, when Gao Tianyu peeked, only half of his body was exposed, while that enemy was fully exposed, without any cover.

Ultimately, after Gao Tianyu peeked twice, he suddenly pulled out from cover and pre-fired at the enemy's position.

And that enemy, due to his disadvantageous position, ultimately met his demise.

After all the enemies in this squad were dead, Liu Yan's military terminal had only three targets left to switch to.

"He's going for the wingsuit!" Liu Yan quickly got up, ready to put on his armor, but then sat back down.

Liu Yan understood Gao Tianyu's plan, and he had to admit, it was quite wicked.

He left himself too many choices.

No matter whether Zhao Qian or the fatty landed first and started shooting, the opponents would definitely converge.

If the two of them were completely defenseless, then Gao Tianyu would successfully escape the predicament and could seize the opportunity to leave the Babel Tower.

If the two opponents managed to take out even one enemy, he could use the enemy's rescue to create two 1-on-1 opportunities.

If Zhao Qian and the fatty truly succeeded in a 2-on-3, then he could also pretend to be low on stamina, arrive late, and share the spoils of victory with them.

Even more sinister, he could backstab the two of them.

Liu Yan, having just figured it out, had intended to rush into the tower and take him down while the opponent was looting.

But considering his large weapon, he had to give up; if he recalled the weapon and stuffed it into his crotch, it would greatly affect his mobility.

If he didn't stuff it in his crotch, and he unfortunately died, that would be a huge loss.

"Warning, someone has activated the evacuation point in front of the Babel Tower, remaining time 4 minutes."

Just then, an announcement sounded in the sky.

Hearing that someone had pulled the evacuation point lever, Liu Yan knew without thinking that it must be in the direction of the Royal Museum, so he simply gave up on the idea of looking for Gao Tianyu.

Liu Yan slid the screen, turning the weapon turret towards the small gate of the Royal Museum.

"This round was so awesome, I didn't encounter a single person on the whole map!"

"Yeah, the Royal Museum probably had a fight at the start, and then the survivors just took the first gate."

"Hey, look, I remember there wasn't a weapon here before."

"That's true, but why do I feel... this turret has been locking onto us?"

Boom ——————!!!!!

Bang —————!!!!!

"Awesome!!!!"

If he weren't in the weapon's cockpit, Liu Yan would probably be so excited he'd be jumping up and down.

After opening the cockpit door and getting out, Liu Yan hummed a tune as he moved the three people's equipment one by one into the weapon.

After sorting out all the valuables from the three people's backpacks and the attachments on their weapons, Liu Yan then optimized the original three backpacks.

Having done all this, Liu Yan clicked the recycle button on the tablet.

"Oh my—!"

The weapon instantly disappeared, and Liu Yan, unable to react in time, fell on his backside.

Using the motion of getting up, Liu Yan swiftly, with lightning speed, stuffed the weapon model and military terminal from the ground into his crotch!

The naturalness and speed of his movements were such that even with a military drone recording the public footage, no one noticed a thing.

Finally, Liu Yan stood at the evacuation point in a bow-legged stance, with a backpack hanging from each hand, two weapons tucked under his armpits, and another backpack and two weapons on his back, waiting for evacuation.

After successfully evacuating, Liu Yan appeared in front of the evacuation point.

Unlike usual, this time after evacuating, the entrance was incredibly lively.

"You little bastard, you're good! You used the two of us as bait, right? And then you didn't even save us, is that how your school teachers taught you?"

Liu Yan looked in the direction of the voice; a Mohican-haired fatty and another man were blocking Gao Tianyu's path.

Gao Tianyu was also loaded with supplies.

But because he hadn't taken a physical strength enhancer like Liu Yan, his arms and legs were already beginning to tremble slightly from carrying too much weight.

"Serves you right for screwing over your teammates, now you're getting what you deserve," Liu Yan thought to himself.

After feeling a moment of pity for the other party, Liu Yan was about to leave when eight figures blocked his path.

"Uh..." Liu Yan looked awkwardly at the eight people in front of him.

His situation seemed to be much worse than Gao Tianyu's... Seriously, which bastard designed it so that everyone evacuates together!
