79: Champagne - activate the subconscious mind

25 days later, 5 PM.

Bang—!

Zhao Chuang rammed the enemy in front of him with his Shield Dog, instantly killing him.

"Tsk," Liu Yan behind him couldn't help but exclaim.

Back then, three Shield Dogs took turns ramming him, but they didn't achieve this level; killing someone in three hits was just unreasonable.

Pfft—!

A healing gun shot hit Zhao Chuang, recovering the damage he had just taken.

"Thanks, Brother Ji!"

Liu Yan looked at the two with satisfaction.

Over these 25 days, their progress had been incredibly fast. In this last team fight, Liu Yan hadn't interfered at all, only acting as a backup.

With deep blue equipment, Zhao Chuang was like Lu Bu with Red Hare, easily able to charge at enemies and ram them to death.

Meanwhile, Fuji was behind him, using a healing gun to restore Zhao Chuang's health.

"Alright, pack up your gear. Let's evacuate. That's enough for today."

"Okay." Zhao Chuang nodded, putting his Shield Dog on his back.

The massive Shield Dog on Zhao Chuang's broad back looked no different from a backpack.

This was also why Zhao Chuang needed Fuji to help with the healing gun from behind.

The deep blue Shield Dog couldn't completely cover Zhao Chuang's body; parts of his arms and legs would be exposed.

As usual, the three packed up their gear and successfully evacuated.

These days, the three of them had been like machines, repeating the same cycle.

Entering the map to farm Soldiers in the morning, and farming money in the afternoon.

After selling the equipment and briefly saying goodbye to the other two, Liu Yan returned home.

Unlike the earlier ease, as he lay on the bed, Liu Yan's eyes grew more solemn.

It had been almost a month since he entered the Third District.

There wasn't even a shadow of a resuscitation ventilator.

"Only one month left. It seems I can only enter the Top Secret Area..."

Liu Yan took out the quantum storage from his pocket and opened the small screen on it.

[weapon Model x1]

[bust of claudius x1]

["heaven is round, earth is square" x3]

[Sayid's pocket watch x1]

[Olivia Champagne x2]

Liu Yan was not very satisfied with this result.

Although he had three "heaven is round, earth is square" for survival, he didn't have big red, which could enhance combat ability.

As for the function of the champagne, Liu Yan specifically went to Principal Wang to check the top secret server. It was a one-time special item.

The reason for Liu Yan's dissatisfaction was simple.

"Activate subconscious..."

"In short, it means losing your mind," Liu Yan sighed.

No matter how he looked at it, this item didn't seem like something that could be used to fight others.

Relying purely on the subconscious might improve reactions in various aspects.

But how was that different from losing your brain?

Combat itself wasn't entirely dependent on skill.

In terms of a game, the importance of marksmanship and movement was far less than that of awareness.

Powerful marksmanship and movement could make you invincible in a gunfight, but strong awareness was the key to successful evacuation.

After all, how many people would openly engage in a gunfight with you?

Without awareness, you wouldn't even know if someone flanked you from behind.

After putting away the quantum storage, Liu Yan opened his phone and, as usual, transferred 1 million to Dr. Zhao.

Doing this daily, Dr. Zhao had gone from initial surprise to getting used to it.

Dr. Zhao: "Are you sure you're not coming to accompany her? She often asks me what you're doing lately, and I'm almost out of excuses."

Liu Yan: "Please bear with it and comfort her a little longer."

Dr. Zhao: "..."

During this time, Liu Yan had only spoken to his mother on the phone but hadn't visited her in the hospital.

He didn't want her to worry after seeing the scars on his face.

If you still love me, give me back my heart. You exchanged love for youth, what do I have left... Just as Liu Yan put down his phone, it rang.

It was Principal Wang calling.

"Hello, what's up?"

Principal Wang's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Hello, about The Authorities, why don't you reconsider?"

Liu Yan sighed.

Not long after the Sniper Elite Competition ended, people from The Authorities came knocking, offering Liu Yan an olive branch.

Liu Yan naturally refused. It was a thankless task, and no matter how good the benefits were, it wouldn't be as much as he earned in the Third District.

Not to mention the completely meaningless status and position.

After being rejected, the pressure naturally fell on Principal Wang.

"Isn't the graduation assessment the day after tomorrow? By then I'll have graduated, and they won't come looking for you anymore," Liu Yan said indifferently.

The tone on the other end of the phone was clearly a little anxious:

"I'm not afraid of trouble, but this opportunity is indeed rare. Do you even know what it means?"

"China's highest-level instructor! A status and position that countless people's ancestors wouldn't even dream of achieving!"

Liu Yan looked speechless.

"I've said many times, please tell them for me, I only want the resuscitation ventilator."

"If they can give it to me, I will naturally go."

"As for those empty promises of status and position, what's the use?"

After speaking, Liu Yan hung up the phone.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this status and position were unattainable, but in Liu Yan's eyes, it was purely a thankless effort.

Besides, he was already tired enough taking time out to train those Soldiers at Dam Zero.

After 25 days of unremitting effort, Liu Yan often saw his Soldiers at Dam Zero.

So, each time he added a few more Soldiers, he would also teach them marksmanship and tactical movements.

The effect was very significant. Now, Liu Yan's Soldiers' movement was in no way inferior to that of the Hafke Soldiers.

Rolling, sliding, big jumps, quick-scoping, wall-climbing, rotating... It could be said that everything Liu Yan knew, he taught them wholeheartedly... Early the next morning, Liu Yan and the other two met early in the Third District and, in a streamlined manner, began the Soldier training plan.

They were busy until the afternoon. As they were about to enter Confidential Baku Shi, Liu Yan called out to the two of them.

"I want to enter the Top Secret Area."

Fuji and Zhao Chuang turned their heads simultaneously. There was no surprise in their eyes; instead, they had a look that said, 'it's about time.'

Just half a month ago, when the two asked Liu Yan why he was so persistent about Baku Shi, Liu Yan told them the whole story.

"Okay, then the two of us will go buy equipment. After all, if you die in the Top Secret Area, you're really dead." Fuji nodded and pulled Zhao Chuang to the equipment area.

If it were before, Fuji would never have entered the Top Secret Area, not even if you beat him to death.

But after learning the reason why Liu Yan needed the resuscitation ventilator, it reminded Fuji of his own father.

And the countless battles in Baku Shi these days had long since changed Fuji's former timidity.

Watching the two leave, Liu Yan fell silent.

Going to the Top Secret Area with him was not as simple as it looked.

In Confidential Baku Shi, the worst outcome of death was after-effects, and there was still a chance for recovery. But in the Top Secret Area, if you died, you were truly dead.

After a while, the two returned, wearing brand new Level 6 helmets and Level 6 armor.

"Come on, put these on. Don't wear that broken stuff anymore."

"How can you go into the Top Secret Area without a full Level 6 set?"

Fuji grinned at Liu Yan, while signaling Zhao Chuang to hand Liu Yan the Level 6 set he was holding.

He also brought Liu Yan an AWM sniper rifle.

"I wondered why buying equipment took so long."

Liu Yan took the Level 6 set, put it on, and placed his original Level 5 set into Zhao Chuang's backpack. The AWM was slung across his back.

"You two take these. Just put them in your backpacks. They can save your lives at critical moments. We happen to have one each."

Through the quantum storage, Liu Yan took out two "heaven is round, earth is square" and gave one to each of them.

After all three were fully equipped, Liu Yan looked at them seriously.

"Thank you."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so mushy. It's no big deal." Fuji quickly waved his hand.

"Exactly, Brother Yan, you taught us so much and even gave each of us a mandel brick. You didn't even let us be polite with you," Zhao Chuang also chimed in.

"Alright, then let's go."

Liu Yan didn't dwell on it and nodded.

When they reached the entrance to the Top Secret Area, a staff member stopped the three of them.

"In the Top Secret Area, death is irreversible. Please consider carefully."

Seeing the three nod, the staff member stepped back and did not continue to block them.

This was somewhat unexpected for Liu Yan.

The inability to revive in the Top Secret Area meant actual casualties. In such a situation, The Authorities should logically try to stop them... But this was also good. If they were truly blocked outside, who knew when they would be able to find the resuscitation ventilator.

"Let's go."

The three embraced and stepped into the Top Secret Area together.
