159: Mecha is also armor

“Where is she?”

Xiao Yun frowned, a hint of confusion in his heart, as he saw the full-map perspective of the Destiny Skill.

He had clearly switched to Lu Xueqing’s viewpoint, yet he didn’t see her in the Cement Factory.

What was going on?

“Logically speaking, other teams shouldn’t come to the Cement Factory, so she should be safe,” Xiao Yun mused.

Before, when he left the Cement Factory and headed to the Administrative District, Xiao Yun had already activated the Destiny Skill once to get a clear view of the other teams' movements in this match.

These teams were either locked in bitter battles or setting up sniper positions against each other; they shouldn't have time to come to the Cement Factory.

“Could she be hiding?”

Xiao Yun’s eyebrows twitched, and he immediately thought of this possibility.

After all, his Destiny Skill allowed him to observe others' movements from above, akin to having a camera mounted above everyone's head. While it could pinpoint locations, it didn't possess X-ray vision.

And thinking of this, Xiao Yun indeed observed a clue from the screen.

He saw that all the supplies on the second floor of the Cement Factory had been looted, but one of the air cargo containers was closed.

It was quite obvious that Lu Xueqing was hiding inside.

“I didn’t expect her to be quite clever.”

Xiao Yun smiled faintly, feeling very pleased with her.

Lu Xueqing was indeed a master, someone who could run solo and extract from the restricted zone so many times before. She was practically born to be a Shu Shu!

Seeing that she was not in any danger, Xiao Yun’s mind stirred, and he directly teleported to Dam No. 0.

......

“Current location: Dam No. 0 - Zero Dam Interior.”

“Current drop rate: Classified.”

“Current game end time: 17 minutes 41 seconds.”

“Hint: Please complete extraction before time runs out!”

Xiao Yun quickly arrived inside the Zero Dam.

He had only intended to try, but he didn't expect it to actually succeed.

Since the Zero Dam in this round hadn't been blown open, it was pitch black inside.

What surprised Xiao Yun even more was that there wasn't a single Asala Soldier inside the Zero Dam at this moment!

“Could it be that they thought no one would break into the Zero Dam at night, so they didn't deploy any troops?”

Xiao Yun stroked his chin, analyzing, then without hesitation, he rushed directly towards the vault.

Since it was a classified difficulty Dam No. 0, there might be good things hidden inside!

And since there wasn't a single soldier here, Xiao Yun proceeded unhindered directly into the vault.

Unlike the usual situation where the Zero Dam is blown open, the circular iron door of the Zero Dam vault was closed at this moment.

Xiao Yun immediately frowned. Without a drilling tool, it would be really difficult to break the door!

According to the game's mechanics, this iron door was made of high-strength explosion-proof material and could only be drilled open by activating a drilling machine.

At this moment, Xiao Yun's Destiny Skill was also on cooldown. Without the special secure container for storing skill cards, it would take another three minutes before it could be activated again.

“I should have just teleported directly into the vault!”

Just as Xiao Yun felt helpless and was toying with the military dagger in his hand, the military dagger's panel suddenly popped up, as if reminding him of something.

[military dagger

Type: family heirloom

Level: 55

Damage: 85

Movement Speed Bonus: 55%

Attack Speed: Fast

Attack Range: Short

Special Skill: Armor Penetration

Upgrade Requires: Military explosives x1]

“That’s right, the military dagger has armor penetration now!”

The moment he saw the panel, Xiao Yun’s eyes lit up.

This military dagger, after upgrading, could cut through iron like mud, nothing could stop it.

He had tested it with the military dagger when he was preparing to break through the barbed wire.

The military dagger cut through the barbed wire without any snagging, just like cutting paper!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun also decided to try it out.

To see just how effective the military dagger's armor penetration ability truly was.

Hiss, hiss, hiss—

As the military dagger cut into the iron door, the door made a screeching sound like fingernails scraping a blackboard.

What surprised Xiao Yun was that there was no snagging during the process; it smoothly cut a seam into the large iron door of the vault!

“This armor penetration ability… I remember it ignores the target’s armor, right? Could this actually be a conceptual divine ability?”

Seeing this scene before him, Xiao Yun's heart was instantly filled with surprise.

Since it was an armor penetration ability, mechs also had armor!

The materials used to build mechs were much stronger than the vault door, so it's no problem for this military dagger to easily cut through an iron door, right?

And so, without another word, Xiao Yun directly wielded the military dagger in his hand, carving a square hole in the circular iron door of the vault.

Bang—!

As the cut-out iron piece fell to the ground, Xiao Yun took large strides and walked directly into the Zero Dam vault.

The lighting inside was dim. Xiao Yun casually pulled out an incendiary grenade and threw it on the ground to provide illumination.

However, the next second, he was shocked by the pile of supplies that appeared on the floor of the vault!

[Supplies: Ten Thousand Foot Gold Bar

Quality: Red

Price: 331376]

[Supplies: saieds pocket watch

Quality: Red

Price: 215992]

[Supplies: Grandfather Clock

Quality: Gold

Price: 199972]

At the end of the vault, on the table in front of the safe, a large pile of supplies was stacked!

Gold bars, pocket watches, grandfather clocks...

A pile of gold-made collectible supplies almost filled the long table!

“Holy cow! This is truly coming to the vault!”

Seeing the large pile of gold and red quality supplies before him, Xiao Yun's heart was immediately filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.

Time to eat, time to eat again!

He hadn't expected the Asala Soldiers to hide all the supplies in the Zero Dam vault at night!

Without another word, Xiao Yun rushed forward and put the table full of supplies into his secure container.

Although the scene looked impressive, there were only two red-quality supplies in total: gold bars and saieds pocket watch. The rest were some gold-quality small gold items.

However, even this table full of small gold items directly multiplied the supplies Xiao Yun had obtained in this round several times over!

[Secure Container: 218 / 4900

Supplies in this round: 4930584]

“Time to eat!”

Xiao Yun looked at the harvest from this round, a satisfied smile on his lips.

Having gotten so much small gold in one go, he could use it to draw lucky boxes again!

“I've earned enough this round. Let's go meet up with Lu Xueqing first.”

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun waited for the skill cooldown to reset and used the Destiny Skill again.

......

Teleported to the open ground of the Cement Factory.

Xiao Yun, seeing Lu Xueqing still seemingly hiding inside the air cargo container through the Destiny Skill, decided to give her a scare.

At the same time, he wanted to test how Lu Xueqing would react in such a situation.

After all, they would be teaming up to complete the GTI assessment later. If she didn't even have this much self-preservation ability, Xiao Yun would find it hard to guarantee the success or failure of the assessment.

And so, Xiao Yun’s mind stirred, and the black greatshield appeared in his hand.

Then he deliberately slowed his steps, imitating Shield Bro's every move.
