335: Operation Ascender

“What makes the Ural mission so demanding? I think it’s quite simple.”

While George was explaining, an examiner said indifferently.

Everyone turned to look, only to see a tall man wearing a thick down jacket, clearly an examiner from Russia.

“Isn’t the Ural mission just to kill three alligators bare-handed in the Confidential Dam No. 0? What’s so difficult about that?”

The Russia examiner said nonchalantly, and although his words sounded like bragging, combined with his burly physique and muscles, they seemed very convincing.

The examiners also knew that for these Russia operatives, the Ural transfer mission was actually the simplest!

After all, it is said that in the world on the other side of the restricted area, the birthplace of the legendary special operative Ural is a country similar to Russia.

It was also very reasonable that they could easily complete Ural’s mission.

“Ahem, in any case, this tactic requires at least one Ural in the team, and then one Luna. Before entering the map, it’s best to be equipped with two sniper rifles. Then, once on the Aerospace Dam, set up snipers at two positions. The position near the extraction point can cover most of the Core Area, while the position near the East District Suspension Bridge can cover the Blue Room connection and the outer areas. With sniper rifles set up in both positions, almost no one can get out of the Core Area.”

George explained the bridge-blocking tactic, and upon hearing this strategy, the examiners instantly realized its power.

After all, in the restricted area, even within GTI Professional Teams, very few people use sniper rifles, and even fewer use them well.

This thing is different from submachine guns and the like; ordinary people can use those weapons, but sniper rifles require long-term training and a certain level of talent to master.

“This bridge-blocking tactic is indeed powerful, but how many teams with both Ural and Luna exist, even in a powerful country like Lighthouse Country? Probably not more than three digits.”

“And teams with two sniper positions are even rarer among them; perhaps only a single digit meets the conditions when everything is combined.”

“The problem isn’t just there; the main issue is with two sniper rifles, unless you spawn in the Launch Area or the East District Suspension Bridge at the start, how do you even get onto the bridge from other locations?”

“Exactly! If you revive in the prison area or dorms, with two sniper rifles at the start, you’d just get directly killed if you encountered someone else.”

“So, the number of teams that can execute this tactic is already small, and those that can successfully execute it are even fewer.”

“Indeed, this belongs to a tactic that is invincible on paper but very difficult to pull off in actual combat.”

“Not to mention, Xiao Yun’s team doesn’t even have Ural or Luna, just one sniper rifle. Can they block the bridge with that?”

“They’re probably just using one sniper rifle to gather information, waiting for others to pull the lever and prepare to evacuate.”

The examiners discussed animatedly.

As an examiner from Dragon Country, He Yan was not worried about Xiao Yun and the others’ situation.

After all, while other examiners didn’t know Xiao Yun’s previous GTI data, He Yan did.

With Xiao Yun and their strength, even in Confidential Aerospace, they were an existence that overwhelmingly crushed other teams.

After all, what normal person would have a 100% extraction rate when running knives in the restricted area before taking the GTI Professional assessment!

He had doubted this point before, but after the first assessment match, He Yan completely believed in their strength.

“So, I estimate they probably don’t know this tactic, but just stumbled upon it by accident.”

Listening to everyone’s discussion, George smiled and said.

However, if Xiao Yun had heard this, he probably wouldn’t even bother to retort.

Because what he described was not a professional bridge-blocking tactic at all; at most, it was a tactic used by novice bridge-blocking teams.

Setting up a sniper position next to the ropes was akin to throwing one’s life away; anyone with decent rifle aim could finish them off.

Not to mention, there was also the situation of Lao Tai spawning in the garden; if one were to set up a sniper position there, they could be directly killed by Lao Tai’s infantry fighting vehicle if they had bad luck.

Moreover, the most important thing was that Xiao Yun hadn’t even thought about blocking the bridge; after all, using such a brainless tactic was incredibly effective and had a high success rate in games in his previous life.

In this world, wouldn’t that be bullying people?

And at this moment.

Because Xiao Yun and his two teammates had been staying on the bridge for a long time, neither their data nor their location information had changed at all.

It wasn’t until about 15 minutes into the match that Xiao Yun and his group began to move within the restricted area.

And because they had been idle for nearly ten minutes, the examiners hadn’t paid attention to their location changes, nor did they realize what they were about to do next.

.......

“Current location: Aerospace Base - Helicopter Extraction Point.”

“Current drop rate: Confidential”

“Current game end time: 15 minutes 30 seconds”

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

“Hafk rocket detected descending, initiating Ascendant operation!”

“Program upload process has begun!”

“Attention, multiple Hafk aerial signals detected heading to the Launch Area, hold your ground!”

“I’m locked by an enemy aircraft! Enemy aircraft at my six o’clock, they’ve taken the bait!”

“Launching countermeasures, Lightning 3-1 is withdrawing from engagement area!”

...

After accepting the Ascendant operation, a series of voice broadcasts sounded in the earphones of Xiao Yun and his two teammates.

Xiao Yun had heard these voices countless times in the game in his previous life.

However, in this real world, listening to the urgent voice broadcasts in his earphones, feeling the ground tremble, and watching helicopters constantly flying overhead, the feeling was still very stimulating.

Especially for Liu Shihhan and Lu Xueqing, this was their first time experiencing these things, and both reacted intensely.

“This is the Ascendant operation, it feels so cool!”

“Xiao Yun, this mission is very difficult, right? It seems that even for GTI Professional Teams, the death rate exceeds 70%. Are you sure we can complete it?”

Liu Shihhan and Lu Xueqing had different attitudes towards the Ascendant operation.

Xiao Yun just smiled faintly, not as nervous as the two of them.

He wasn’t worried about whether he could complete the mission at all now, after all, his secure container had long stored a pile of operative skills.

The Hafk team sent for this Ascendant operation, as soon as one came down from the helicopter, they would be burned or blown up by Xiao Yun, none of them could survive to approach the rocket launch point.

Therefore, what he was worried about now was not whether he could complete the Ascendant operation, but rather what good things the rocket capsule could yield?

Before accepting the mission, Lu Xueqing had also handed over the supplies obtained from the centrifuge room to Xiao Yun.

However, what surprised Xiao Yun a bit was that she only found a pocket watch this time; the rest were just some small gold and purple items, which Xiao Yun told them to put in their backpacks themselves.

At this moment, Xiao Yun was also worried, had Lu Xueqing’s luck run out?

There were still so many matches to come; what if her luck ran out now?

However.

When the three of them arrived at the rocket Launch Area, and Xiao Yun had Lu Xueqing start the computer transfer program, he realized that he had worried too much.

“Master, master! We got something! We got something big!”
