133: Escorting the Doctor

Entering Baksh again.

This time, just like before, Xiao Yun and Liu Shihhan brought no equipment.

Since there’s no threshold to enter Baksh in this world, bringing even a penny's worth of items would be a loss!

After all, why use expensive weapons and bullets when there are so many free Destiny Skills available?

However.

By the time the two arrived at Longjiang Impression City, it was already a little past 2 PM.

And this round of Baksh had already started ten minutes ago.

“By now, all the searchable places on the map should have been looted by other teams, right? What should we do? Should we try to eliminate other teams to gain profit?”

Analyzing the current situation, Liu Shihhan asked in confusion.

Ten minutes into the match, every single location on the map had likely already been visited by teams, leaving no supply points untouched.

It was even possible that all the bird nests and manholes across the entire map had already been scavenged by other teams!

In this situation, either they had to find a way to eliminate a team to acquire their equipment and earn some money.

Or they could act as ghouls, checking high-conflict areas like the Baksh Market, Royal Museum, and Babel Tower to see if there were any leftover boxes to salvage some profit.

However.

This approach clearly didn't align with Xiao Yun's style, so Liu Shihhan wondered if they would have to kill people this round.

However.

What Liu Shihhan didn't expect was that Xiao Yun was planning something else.

“Shihan, do you know about the escort the Doctor mission?”

Xiao Yun asked quietly.

“I know, isn't the Doctor just a little south of us? After accepting the mission, the Doctor will follow us, and we just need to escort him to the target point.”

Hearing Liu Shihhan’s reply, Xiao Yun nodded silently.

The reason he asked was to confirm that this mission also existed in this world.

But according to the logic of the Restricted Zone, soldiers and BOSSes all have memories from matches, so wouldn't this Doctor also have memories?

So, if he waits here every round for operators to come and escort him to evacuate, isn't he just a complete good-for-nothing?

Always needing players to escort him, one wonders what he thinks.

“Let’s go, let’s try escorting the Doctor.”

Xiao Yun said, directly activating his Destiny Skill.

It turns out, there were still many teams this round.

At this point, there were even more teams inside than at the start!

Xiao Yun took a quick look, and there were as many as 30 teams on the entire map, totaling a hundred operators in prize money!

And looking at their locations, it was even more exaggerated.

Inside the Babel Tower, on just one floor, five teams were camped, with two teams even separated by only one wall, setting up their shots across it.

The entire Babel Tower Area had 18 teams, almost fully packed with operators; a very few teams seemed to have reached a consensus and shook hands, while other teams, upon encountering each other, quickly entered intense firefight stages.

The Royal Museum also presented a similar scene.

The underground vault on the basement level was packed with two teams, the east and west sides of the first floor each had four teams, and the second floor had two teams.

Then there were two more teams active around the Baksh Market, looking like they were about to encounter each other.

Only two teams remained, guarding the north and south extraction points respectively, with scattered weapons, equipment, and backpacks lying in front of them, clearly indicating they had ambushed several waves of people already.

“This small Baksh can actually gather so many hidden talents...”

Seeing the situation across the entire map, Xiao Yun was somewhat surprised.

These people are really daring! So many people still go to the Babel Tower.

Even if this world doesn’t have Hacker Claw’s detection, just by listening to the gunshots, you’d know there are a lot of people there, right?

And this further highlights the true nature of the Baksh map.

Purely a breeding ground for conflict!

After the Babel Tower was released, this map, despite being relatively large, was even harder to extract from than Aerospace.

However, amidst his surprise, Xiao Yun also quickly headed towards the mission pickup location.

Given the situation on the field, now was the best time to do the mission!

Following the Doctor's escort route, they would not encounter any teams along the way.

Unless people from the Museum actively attacked, or teams in the Market noticed them, the journey would be very smooth.

And very soon.

Xiao Yun, leading Liu Shihhan, also saw the Doctor’s figure next to the Blue Ting Hotel.

Wearing small glasses and a white lab coat, standing by the roadside in the cold wind, he looked very impressive.

“Are you the escort personnel this time?”

The Doctor noticed their footsteps and turned to ask.

“No, we’re just passing by.”

“Every passing GTI operator says that; in reality, you just lack the strength, so if not, get lost!”

The Doctor cursed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun’s eyebrow instantly twitched.

Hey, you little Doctor, you get angry from a joke?

“I was just teasing you; actually, we are the operators here to escort you this time.”

Xiao Yun said with a smile.

However, Xiao Yun felt a bit confused internally.

This situation isn't right, is it?

According to the mission setup in the game, didn't the Doctor and a group of GTI operators only spawn in a special room nearby after the player accepted the mission?

Why is the Doctor here just standing directly next to the hotel?

Moreover, the Restricted Zone in this world has no damage immunity; even teammates can be harmed.

He stands here at the start of the match, isn't he afraid of players just shooting him in the head?

But that doesn't seem to have any benefits either.

“Is this your level?”

The Doctor looked Xiao Yun and Liu Shihhan’s equipment up and down, then immediately shook his head.

“Honestly, you are the worst escort personnel I have ever seen.”

“What are you saying, what are you saying!”

Hearing this, Liu Shihhan immediately felt a bit indignant.

“Even though our Xiao Yun doesn’t have equipment, his strength is not bad.”

However, hearing this, the Doctor merely sneered.

Since the Restricted Zone and reality connected, he had seen countless operators.

Among them, there were indeed some talented individuals who could resolve battles without firearms, but they all had their own preparations.

Unlike Xiao Yun and Liu Shihhan, who entered the Restricted Zone empty-handed.

“Alright, Doctor, if we’re not good enough, aren’t there still GTI to help? Let’s go, we’ll escort you to extraction.”

Xiao Yun smiled faintly and said.

If according to the game’s settings, the equipment and strength of GTI operators absolutely crushed the Asala forces.

And accepting the escort the Doctor mission would directly turn into a bot-versus-bot scenario.

GTI operators would directly suppress Asala Soldiers, at most only requiring players to deal with a few Asala Soldiers who had scattered and hidden nearby, basically not needing to intervene much.

However.

Hearing Xiao Yun’s words, the Doctor let out a cold laugh.

“Aren’t you the reinforcements sent by GTI? Where else would there be anyone?”
