231: fracture

“2.4 million? That cheap?”

Xiao Yun was also a little surprised to hear this price.

This was a forbidden zone house that was listed for eight million on the market!

Even for a second-hand house, the price would fluctuate around eight million, not exceeding that range by too much.

However, Xiao Yun never expected the Black Hawk Level discount to be so significant!

Why even bother with running blades now?

Just buy a hundred sets and sell them; wouldn't that be real estate speculation?

“It’s quite normal. After all, only three Black Hawk Level operatives have purchased forbidden zone houses from us before.”

Sister Mai smiled slightly.

“And they are all well-known figures in Longjiang City, but I believe with your qualifications, sir, you will soon become as formidable as them.”

Listening to this, Xiao Yun couldn't help but nod silently.

This was indeed a high-level salesperson; their words were so pleasant to hear!

At the same time, hearing that three other operatives had purchased forbidden zone houses here, Xiao Yun also thought of the professional team that encountered the top-secret Baksh earlier that morning.

Although he couldn't remember their names, Xiao Yun remembered the appearance of their captain, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, who looked very masculine even with long hair.

This kind of person was the type whose achievements were limitless just by looking at their face.

If placed in the chaotic times of ancient Longguo, he would probably gain many followers and become a king of a certain force just by his appearance.

“It's most likely them,” Xiao Yun thought to himself.

After the encounter with them that morning, Xiao Yun also felt that the strength of Longjiang City was indeed much stronger than Haibei City.

The three people in their small team each obtained the skills of a special operations operative.

Just the ability to hear a missile sound, turn around, and directly shoot down a loitering munition was ridiculously strong.

One must know that this was a real forbidden zone world; it wasn't a game from his previous life where such operations could be performed by just moving a keyboard and mouse.

If it weren't for one person being isolated and out of sync at that time, Xiao Yun might have really stumbled without unlocking new SS-level skills.

“I wonder if I’ll run into them during the VIP time tonight?” Xiao Yun thought to himself.

...

After paying, Xiao Yun quickly received the room key.

Coincidentally, the house number was 0708, 7th floor, number 8.

Xiao Yun didn't expect that he couldn't escape the title of “78 fan” in his previous life, and he couldn't escape the number “78” in this world either!

After receiving the key, Sister Mai also entered his information and then went to help with the procedures.

After she left, the male receptionist they first met wanted to come in and chat with Xiao Yun for a bit, but he didn't stay long and went directly back to the Exchange, finding Zhang Yu and Lu Xueqing.

Long Xiaopang seemed to have been sent away by Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu was sitting there playing on his phone, while Lu Xueqing kept scanning the surroundings, seemingly looking for him.

“Xiao Yun, where did you go just now?”

Seeing Xiao Yun appear, Lu Xueqing found him at first glance.

“Nothing, just took care of some business. Let's go, let's enter the forbidden zone.”

Saying that, Xiao Yun planned to set off immediately.

“If we go now, will we make it? By the time we reach the fountain, there should only be about ten minutes left in the forbidden zone, right?”

Zhang Yu glanced at the time and sighed softly.

“Ten minutes, probably not even enough for us to search for things.”

“Ten minutes is enough,” Xiao Yun said calmly.

“Enough for you to show off your original little tricks.”

“Alright, then we won't bring equipment this round; we’ll use what we had last round. Anyway, by then, people will probably be camping at the extraction point, so we probably won't be able to extract... Wait, Xiao Yun, where's your equipment from last round?”

Mid-sentence, Zhang Yu looked at the two people dressed in everyday clothes and suddenly realized that Xiao Yun and Lu Xueqing seemed to have sold all their equipment!

What was going on? That equipment wasn't worth much after a round of wear and tear; it was better to wear it in and run another blade than to sell it!

However, facing Zhang Yu's confusion, Xiao Yun patted his shoulder.

“It’s fine. Follow us; you don't need to bring equipment. Just bring your gadgets.”

“No way? Are you serious?”

Seeing that Xiao Yun and Lu Xueqing really planned to enter the map naked, Zhang Yu was a little surprised.

He had done this kind of thing many times before.

Taking Long Xiaopang without equipment, they would enter the map and start ambushing people. When Asala Soldiers came, they would directly choke them, snatch their weapons, and then shoot them back, directly taking over the soldiers' equipment.

While this indeed meant no consumption in each match, bringing out as much as possible.

The problem was the low success rate!

Before, when Zhang Yu did this with Long Xiaopang, they would be lucky to succeed once in a hundred attempts.

And that was on the normal difficulty Dam No. 0.

This was Baksh, which was at least confidential difficulty. How could they play without equipment in the forbidden zone?

“I’m not messing around with you two. I’m bringing my equipment in. When you respawn in the Museum without a gun, you’ll be in trouble.”

“Alright, then you bring it,” Xiao Yun said helplessly, not forcing him.

After all, although Zhang Yu was his childhood friend, growing up together.

This was the first time they had ever entered the forbidden zone to run blades together.

...

“You have entered: Baksh!”

“Current location: Baksh - Royal Museum Northwest Gate.”

“Current drop rate: Confidential”

“End time of this game: 12 minutes 42 seconds”

“Tip: Please complete the extraction before the time runs out!”

Entering Baksh.

Because Xiao Yun had spent a lot of time buying the forbidden zone house, more than half of the time had already passed when they entered the map this time, with only twelve minutes left.

At this point, almost all the usable supplies on the entire map had been consumed.

And the operatives who had entered the forbidden zone earlier had mostly fought, looted, and died.

Most of those remaining were looking for a place to hide and ambush, preparing to take over equipment.

“See, see? What did I tell you?”

As soon as they entered the forbidden zone, Zhang Yu looked helpless.

“I told you not to bring good equipment; wouldn’t it be over if we spawned in the Museum? Thankfully, we spawned outside the gate this time, so we won't encounter patrolling Asala Soldiers, otherwise, we’d probably be dead at the start!”

Zhang Yu sighed helplessly, while Xiao Yun just smiled.

With a wave of his hand, the silver family heirloom dagger instantly appeared in his hand.

“Zhang Yu, what do you see here?”

“This is... a dagger? You plan to start with a dagger and take over other people's equipment?”

Seeing the weapon in Xiao Yun's hand, Zhang Yu also guessed what he was going to do.

And thinking more carefully about Xiao Yun's previous achievements in the forbidden zone and his current rank, Zhang Yu's brows furrowed, and he felt incredulous.

Could it be that Xiao Yun... always did this when running blades before?!

That would be too terrifying!

Others who extracted with one or two million were fully armed and crushed their way in.

How dare Xiao Yun enter the map with just a dagger!

“This... can it really work?”

Just as Zhang Yu was wondering, an Asala Soldier suddenly circled around from the outside.

“Who? Who’s there?”
