307: Familiar space base
“You have entered: Aerospace Base!”
“Current Location: Aerospace Base - Assembly Room.”
“Current Drop Rate: Confidential.”
“Current Game End Time: 29 minutes 59 seconds.”
“Reminder: Please complete evacuation before time runs out!”
Entering the restricted area.
Xiao Yun didn't have time to be surprised by the drop rate of this round.
Because the moment he landed, a Hafuk Soldier suddenly appeared beside him.
“Enemy spotted! All units, attention! Ugh—”
As soon as the Hafuk Soldier issued the warning, a data-knife had already accurately struck his neck, and the soldier immediately fell to the ground.
Without a word, Xiao Yun directly stripped off his head armor and put it on.
As expected of the Confidential difficulty Aerospace Base, even the ordinary soldiers in this assembly room wore three sets of armor and used Tier 2 ammunition.
“You two search around here first. If you encounter any danger, just call me.”
Saying that, Xiao Yun handed the M870 shotgun dropped by the soldier to Liu Shihhan, then had her act as a bodyguard, covering Lu Xueqing as she searched.
“Okay, the mission to protect Lu Xueqing is entrusted to me.”
Liu Shihhan took the M870, full of confidence.
She might not be good with other guns, but she specialized in shotguns.
Even if they encountered other operatives, she could at least deal with a few Hafuk Soldiers without taking damage.
“By the way, do you still remember the search route? You won't miss any resource points, right?”
Seeing Lu Xueqing start rummaging through a computer case, Xiao Yun reminded her.
“Mhm, don't worry, Master, I remember everything.”
“That's good. Act according to the plan.”
Saying that, Xiao Yun confidently handed over the search task to the two of them, then ran towards the direction near the Jail Three suspension bridge.
Before coming to Jinghai City, Xiao Yun had already given special guidance to Lu Xueqing and Liu Shihhan, explaining the strategies for various spawn points in the Aerospace Base.
In the Aerospace Base map, the rules differed from ordinary restricted areas.
It was no longer like Dam No. 0 or Longbow Creek Valley, where operatives could enter freely after the match began, and there was no limit to the number of players. Instead, operatives needed to enter the restricted area within the first 5 seconds of the match, and each match had a player limit, accommodating a maximum of 7 teams.
Furthermore, the Aerospace Base's spawn points were not randomly scattered across the map but were fixed in specific locations.
The high risk and high drop rate of the Aerospace Base determined that once a restricted area entrance appeared, it would be a hotly contested zone that everyone would rush to enter.
This was why, under normal circumstances, the Aerospace Base restricted area in Jinghai City was only open to local residents and required a rank of Diamond or above to have free priority queuing; otherwise, one could only apply on the GTI software and wait in a lottery queue.
And under various influences, a peculiar situation arose.
That is, what was supposed to be a relatively free restricted area ultimately presented an effect identical to the game Xiao Yun played in his previous life.
The only difference was that the restricted area Xiao Yun entered this time still had no entry barrier; even with 0 combat readiness value, one could enter.
Therefore, Xiao Yun chose to enter the restricted area with the entire team equipped with purple ammunition and a big red.
Although this set of equipment seemed to carry few items, a full set still cost 400,000, which was almost enough to meet the threshold for entering Confidential difficulty.
The main reason Xiao Yun did this was due to the inability to use the safe box.
He was currently wearing a GTI custom wristband, which would display the value of the supplies he collected in his backpack in real-time and report it outside the restricted area.
[Team Kills: 1 Supply Value: 32107 Evacuation Count: 0]
At this moment, Xiao Yun had killed a Hafuk Soldier and put on his three-piece armor. The wristband began to display three key data points, tallied by team, which were the core content of the assessment: search, combat, and evacuation.
However, before all the exams were over, Xiao Yun could only see the surface data; he did not know how the specific scoring rules were calculated.
Although wearing this wristband meant he didn't have to count how many enemies he killed or how many supplies he picked up, allowing Xiao Yun to accurately observe the data, its function also made Xiao Yun somewhat wary.
Xiao Yun could not be sure whether the supplies he put into the safe box would be tallied by the wristband.
If they were to be included in the wristband's tally, Xiao Yun would be unable to use the safe box during this period.
After all, the drop rate in this Confidential Aerospace was unlike before. If he happened to find tens of millions worth of supplies, and then pulled them out to find a pile of big red and big gold items along with a dozen fully modified guns, even an idiot would know that the three people's backpacks and chest rigs couldn't hold that much stuff.
However, even if he couldn't use the safe box, Xiao Yun had a corresponding countermeasure.
If he couldn't use the safe box, wouldn't it be enough to just bring a few more large bags?
But how to operate specifically still required first confirming the wristband's functions.
So, in this very first match, he was prepared to test the wristband's detection mechanism.
And the testing method was quite simple.
When Xiao Yun killed that Hafuk Soldier just now, he deliberately did not activate his two gold-farming skills.
Later, he would only need to activate the Gunfire Negotiation skill and kill a Hafuk Soldier, and the gold coins would automatically be placed into the safe box. At that time, he would be able to test the wristband's detection capability without anyone knowing.
If it was detected, Xiao Yun would put it back in his bag and then just turn off the gold-farming skill. At worst, he could say the gold coin was found in the soldier's bag.
But if it wasn't detected, then that would be very comfortable.
Xiao Yun could take a higher-risk approach for these ten Confidential Aerospace matches, compared to ordinary people, and completely devour the entire Core Area!
Xiao Yun's goal at this moment was no longer the assessment itself, as in his opinion, this assessment was not difficult at all.
Finding more big red items in this higher-drop-rate Confidential Aerospace was where the real profit lay!
Just as Xiao Yun arrived at the door near Jail Three, pretending to observe whether the suspension bridge was open, but in fact preparing to activate his Destiny Skill to check the spawn points and movements of other teams in this match.
The data displayed on the wristband suddenly changed.
[Team Kills: 1 Supply Value: 91780 Evacuation Count: 0]
“A small gold item appeared?”
Seeing the change in supply value, Xiao Yun's eyebrows immediately twitched.
He hadn't even activated his Gunfire Negotiation skill to test the wristband yet, but the supply value had suddenly surged by fifty thousand.
That could only mean one thing: Lu Xueqing had casually rummaged through a computer case and found a small gold item.
Opening gold!
Before Xiao Yun could think further, the data on the wristband changed again.
[Team Kills: 1 Supply Value: 333438 Evacuation Count: 0]
Seeing the team's collected supply value suddenly surge by over 200,000, Xiao Yun was instantly very shocked.
This wasn't just an opening gold, this was an opening big red!
“Good disciple!”
Xiao Yun didn't have time to be shocked; he was already eager to take Lu Xueqing to the Core Area and go on a crazy looting spree.
With her luck, just from the supplies she found in containers this round, she would surely be able to gather enough to create a man-made africa heart, at least?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yun's mind stirred, and he immediately activated his Destiny Skill.
......
At the same time, on the platform at the restricted area entrance.
The examiner monitoring the data also suddenly discovered the data anomaly, and his heart was instantly filled with shock!
