358: Car crash targeting

“Oh, right, remember not to equip full sets!”

Seeing Liu Shihhan and Lu Xueqing run over to the five-person team Examiner He had invited, planning to strip all five fully modified guns from them and put them on themselves, Xiao Yun quickly spoke up to remind them.

“Weapons don’t matter. For equipment, one of you wears a helmet, and one wears body armor. The two of you together should have just enough for one set of equipment.”

“Master, why is that?”

Hearing this strange equipment configuration, Lu Xueqing was immediately very confused.

One person wearing a helmet and one person wearing body armor—wouldn’t that be no different from not having any equipment at all?

“Xiao Yun, everything about the Dam No. 0 in nightfall mode is still unknown. I estimate the danger level inside is extremely high. Why don’t you just equip yourselves properly?”

Hearing Xiao Yun’s command, Examiner He, who was nearby, also spoke up to persuade him.

However, what he was worried about was not the danger within the Eternal Night Dam, but the danger from other teams!

At this moment, what everyone else hadn’t noticed, but only he knew, was that among the professional operatives queuing outside the pavilion, Song Qiuyun’s team had already infiltrated!

Indeed, just as Examiner He turned his head to observe, he saw a figure wearing both a mask and sunglasses, dressed like a female celebrity, secretly observing the situation here.

Wasn’t this Song Qiuyun, the number one person in Dragon Country GTI, with 100 peak stars!

However, at this time, she had put on some makeup and styling, and even wore an exaggerated white and gray wig. Coupled with the fact that there were many female operatives around, she didn’t stand out in the crowd, and no one around could recognize her.

But seeing Song Qiuyun appear so brazenly in a public place, Examiner He also felt a pang of worry for her.

One should know that within GTI, her reputation was no less than that of Brother Cui, who had touched the africa heart. Even with layers of disguise, it was very possible she could still be recognized by others!

“Ahem, in any case, I still suggest you go in fully armed. Your scores from the first two assessments have already been excellent. Next, you just need to ensure you extract multiple times.”

Withdrawing his gaze, Examiner He once again reminded Xiao Yun and the other two.

After all, they didn’t know, but Examiner He had more information: the danger in this match wasn’t from the Dam No. 0 itself.

It was from Song Qiuyun’s team, who had deliberately come to cause trouble!

Calling it “causing trouble” might sound a bit harsh, but the nature of it was similar.

After the meeting yesterday, Song Qiuyun was unconvinced that Xiao Yun could extract the africa heart from the restricted zone, so she decided to “matchmake” and test their skill.

This kind of “matchmaking” was neither for the purpose of falsifying data nor to help Xiao Yun pass the GTI assessment, so it wasn’t a violation of rules; it just seemed a bit uncouth.

And it just so happened that last night, Song Qiuyun also received an investigation mission from GTI Headquarters, instructing her to go to the Dam No. 0 under nightfall mode to investigate several specific points.

This also gave her a legitimate reason to target Xiao Yun’s team.

.....

“I’m not targeting you; I’m saying everyone here will be killed by me later.”

Song Qiuyun chuckled softly, swung her fist at the air, and muttered to herself.

She was secretly observing Xiao Yun and their situation through her sunglasses, and also saw that they were about to acquire the combat supplies Examiner He had obtained.

The two teammates next to her were also somewhat surprised to see their actions.

“Oh? Are the assessment’s equipment provided for free now?”

“These all look like five sets, and the firearms are well-equipped. It would have been great if we had this treatment back then.”

Song Qiuyun’s two teammates, like her, were wearing both sunglasses and masks.

However, the huge difference in their body types still made them very conspicuous in the crowd.

One of them, nicknamed Qingshan, was a burly man over 1.8 meters tall, with extraordinarily large muscles, a physique that ordinary people couldn’t achieve even with drugs.

The other called herself Team member Mengmeng, a girl about 1.4 meters tall, with sickly pale skin, appearing very delicate and frail.

Although both looked ordinary, they were both operatives currently in the top ten of the restricted zone leaderboard.

And today, they had also received a mission from GTI Headquarters, so they formed a three-person team with Song Qiuyun, preparing to investigate the Eternal Night Dam.

“This isn’t a privilege everyone gets. Don’t you understand?”

Song Qiuyun raised her sunglasses, looking at the two as if they were fools.

“Clearly, they have special treatment. Didn’t you see the large group of examiners surrounding them? And they’re examiners from different countries. How could a normal assessment have this kind of treatment?”

“Oh, right!”

“Now that you mention it, it’s true!”

Qingshan and Team member Mengmeng, enlightened by Song Qiuyun, immediately realized that this young team’s identity was unusual.

In the past, GTI’s professional assessments never required more than ten examiners, let alone examiners from different countries, like theirs did.

And as the two realized this, a curious expression inadvertently appeared in their eyes.

Song Qiuyun was waiting for this look.

“You’re also very interested in them, aren’t you? When we enter the restricted zone later, how about we find a way to meet them?”

Song Qiuyun smiled faintly, the expression beneath her mask as if she were tempting the two.

“This... this wouldn’t be good! We still have an investigation mission to complete.”

Qingshan hurriedly refused.

“Yes, yes, we should prioritize the mission, and their assessment isn’t easy, is it? What if we interfere and cause them to fail their assessment?”

Team member Mengmeng, next to him, also looked worried, but her concern was for Xiao Yun and the others, as if she were considering their team’s situation empathetically.

Seeing that the two were still subtly refusing, Song Qiuyun was not in a hurry.

She slowly began to tell them a story that had shocked her countless times.

“That boy over there, his name is Xiao Yun. He just turned 18 ten days ago. His current GTI rank is Black Hawk. In the 40 recorded matches, he completed all extractions and brought out a total of over sixty million worth of supplies.”

“What!?”

“Are you serious?”

As expected, when the story had only just begun, Qingshan and Team member Mengmeng were immediately very shocked!

Seeing this, Song Qiuyun’s lips curled into a slight smile.

......

“Alright, it’s almost time to enter the restricted zone.”

After some time had passed.

The time was approaching 9:30 AM, and Xiao Yun was about to begin the third assessment.

Examiner He, next to them, looked at the equipment of the three people in their team again, but still had a strange expression.

Xiao Yun was once again preparing to enter the restricted zone with a large chest rig and a big red bag, while Liu Shihhan and Lu Xueqing weren’t even wearing chest rigs or bags. One wore a Level 5 helmet, and the other wore Level 5 armor. The three of them just said they were ready, but ready for what the heck!

If he hadn’t already seen Xiao Yun and the others’ equipment configurations before, Examiner He might have already started scolding them directly.

At this moment, he looked at Song Qiuyun not far away, feeling very conflicted, and decided to try persuading them again.

“Why don’t you bring more equipment? It’s all free anyway.”

“No need, just trust me.”

Xiao Yun smiled faintly, then was about to enter the restricted zone, but suddenly turned back to look at Examiner He.

“By the way, Examiner He, is something on your mind?”
