86: subconscious

As the champagne went down, Liu Yan's eyes gradually changed.

His gaze was no longer sharp, but deeper and more reserved, like a knife hidden in its sheath.

But in the depths of his eyes, it seemed to carry an unspeakable weight.

Such a gaze was not something Liu Yan at his age could possess, nor was it something his experiences could account for.

It was the weariness of a seasoned battlefield veteran.

"The flames of war, have they not yet subsided..."

Liu Yan's sad, vacant eyes looked at the awm sniper rifle in his hand.

Bang—!

He didn't turn around; relying solely on instinct, he shot and blew up the military drone that was following him.

"This time, I'm the only one left again..."

Looking up and around, Liu Yan saw the enemies across from the Medical Zone.

"Not Hafke's people... nor Asara's..."

"Are they outsiders...?"

Liu Yan's eyes gradually narrowed, and his gaze towards the three was filled with killing intent, like a drawn sword.

He vaulted forward, crossed the railing, and landed on the first floor of the Ocean Monitoring Hall.

Liu Yan, carrying the awm sniper rifle, opened the door to the ocean and slowly walked towards the Medical Zone.

He walked very slowly, seemingly not putting the three men in his eyes at all, as if he was just cleaning up trash that shouldn't be there.

"Hey, look, that kid is coming our way!"

An enemy who was scavenging bodies on the first floor shouted upstairs.

The two upstairs couldn't see Liu Yan's position, but they heard faint footsteps.

"Is he looking for death? He dares to come over?"

"He probably saw his teammates die and doesn't want to live on, he's a real man, let's grant his wish."

Waving their hands, the three men got into position.

However, due to the two upstairs not being able to directly aim at Liu Yan, one of them simply stood on the railing.

From this position, if Liu Yan opened the door and entered, he could directly shoot down at Liu Yan's head from above.

The enemy on the first floor, on the other hand, was aiming at the doorway from behind a box; this was also the position where Liu Yan had initially killed an enemy with a leg shot.

The sounds of the three men moving clearly reached Liu Yan's ears.

Liu Yan stood in front of the Medical Zone's door; at this moment, if he opened the door, he would be directly aimed at by the enemy behind the box.

The door slowly opened.

Through his scope, the enemy behind the box aimed at the left side of the door.

Generally speaking, when opening a door, one would peek out from either side to shoot.

And since Liu Yan was coming from the left, this enemy naturally preemptively aimed at the left.

But Liu Yan was standing in the middle of the door, holding the awm sniper rifle in his right hand and the tiger squat cannon in his left.

The enemy was stunned for a moment, but his reaction was not slow; in an instant, the red dot of his scope was aimed at Liu Yan's head.

Bang bang bang—!

Before he could fire, in less than 0.1 seconds, Liu Yan's head tilted, dodging the shots.

At the same time, Liu Yan raised the awm sniper rifle in his right hand.

Bang—!

Without aiming, he landed a headshot, killing this enemy.

After the enemy died, Liu Yan looked at his right arm, numb from the awm sniper rifle's recoil, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Why is my strength so much weaker...?

Boom—!

A tiger squat cannon hit the wall, ricocheting at a precise angle upstairs.

Unlike the previous enemy's feet, this time the tiger squat cannon bounced directly into the chest of the enemy upstairs.

Due to the protrusion of the chest rig, the tiger squat cannon was not deflected by his body; instead, due to the cushioning provided by the chest rig, it landed at his feet.

Thud—!

At the same time, Liu Yan stepped out and charged into the Medical Zone.

Whoosh—!

Mid-way, accelerated by the power propulsion device, he instantly arrived behind the box he had just been at.

At the same time, he instantly ducked down; from this angle, the two enemies upstairs couldn't hit him at all, but he would also be confined to the corner.

At this moment, any thrown object would be fatal to him.

Boom—!

The tiger squat cannon exploded, knocking down one of the enemies upstairs.

Liu Yan stood up, raising his right hand, and his left hand subconsciously touched his right arm, but he didn't feel the triple-barreled hand cannon.

Bang bang bang bang—!

A flicker of confusion crossed his eyes, and Liu Yan instantly ducked back behind cover, dodging the recent bullets.

At the same time, he immediately picked up the weapon from the dead body on the ground, which was an m14 marksman rifle.

Click—

The magazine was instantly removed and weighed in his hand.

19 rounds, enough.

Click—

Standing up for just an instant, without aiming, he pre-fired and instantly killed the enemy who hadn't fallen.

Liu Yan instantly stood up and ran towards the stairs, and when he reached the stairs, he leaped to the right, pushing off the railing of the stairs.

Bang—!

Using the recoil, Liu Yan leaped towards the left stairs, completing a mid-air turn.

Hiss—!

At the same time, the anchor point of the Emergency Evasion Device was inserted on the outer side of the second-floor railing.

At this point, the enemy had already stood up, and the distance between the two was only 5 meters.

Bang bang bang—!

The enemy frantically sprayed bullets at Liu Yan's position.

"You're in a desperate situation, just run to the extraction point!"

With two teammates dead, this enemy was clearly panicking, letting out a broken scream.

At this moment, Liu Yan's body was still in mid-air.

Whoosh—!

The power propulsion device had already reset from the previous kill.

In mid-air, as Liu Yan moved to the left, he aimed the m14 marksman rifle in his hand at the enemy's head.

Bang bang bang bang—!

During the movement, all 9 shots hit the same spot!

The m14 marksman rifle in Liu Yan's hand contained 15 rounds of level five bullets, and the top 15 rounds were level six bullets.

This was also the best way to save level six bullets.

It was this information gap that caused Liu Yan's 9 shots to hit the same spot, while the opponent's level six helmet remained completely unaffected.

Liu Yan decisively dropped the m14 marksman rifle in his hand and took out the awm sniper rifle from his back.

At this moment, the enemy's muzzle had already locked onto Liu Yan, who was about to fall.

Bang bang bang bang—!

Hiss—!

The Emergency Evasion Device instantly pulled Liu Yan back.

By combining the two skills, Liu Yan completed two mid-air displacements, from right to left, and then from left to right, creating a state of suspension.

During the retraction, Liu Yan raised the awm sniper rifle; there was no need to aim, he simply raised his hand and pulled the trigger.

Bang—!

In mid-air, the huge recoil pushed Liu Yan backward.

Ultimately, Liu Yan hooked the tip of one foot into a gap in the railing.

After killing the enemy, Liu Yan walked over to the enemy's corpse, checking for breathing one by one.

After confirming the enemy was completely dead, Liu Yan stood motionless, his eyes slightly closed, listening carefully to the surrounding sounds.

"Hafke..."

Liu Yan heard the footsteps of Soldiers patrolling outside the tower.

Then, he picked up the enemy's gun and slowly walked down the stairs.

He didn't even glance at Fuji's corpse as he passed, as if the two were complete strangers.

Just as Liu Yan was about to leave the Medical Zone, he suddenly stopped in his tracks as if he had been electrocuted.

His eyes gradually returned to normal.

Liu Yan's subconscious state had ended.
