413: Am I actually very strong? (Updated)

“Could it be… I’m actually very strong?”

Xiao Yun lowered his head, looking at his hands in disbelief.

The recent battle made him doubt if this was truly his own strength.

This Asala Squad in the Eternal Night difficulty restricted zone, by all accounts, whether it was their combat readiness, combat experience, or the tactical distribution formed instantly upon encountering an enemy without needing communication, all indicated the formidable strength of this team, possibly even reaching the level of a GTI Professional Team.

Yet, they were instantly killed just like that?

Just now, Xiao Yun almost entirely relied on instinct, unconsciously shifting his fire.

And the three shotgun blasts from the Bullet Rain skill precisely hit the chests of three enemies, instantly killing them.

This feeling...

It was exhilarating!

The battle was exhilarating!

This was the first time Xiao Yun had experienced such a feeling since coming to this world.

The adrenaline rush brought by real-life combat made him genuinely feel what it was like to slaughter in the restricted zone.

The last time he had such a feeling was when he was dueling with Seyid at Dam No. 0 in Haibei City.

However, the situation was different then; Xiao Yun felt a hint of threat from the opponent, and it was only after successfully counter-killing that he felt a sense of relief from narrowly escaping death.

But this instantaneous killing of three Five-Set Soldiers brought him a different kind of pleasure.

“No wonder some say that using the M14 is like signing a contract with a demon. I now somewhat understand those players from my previous life who would go bankrupt daily just to gear up completely and fight.”

Xiao Yun took a deep breath, sighing inwardly.

Originally, as a Shu Shu player who only ran with a knife, he didn't understand what was fun about going into the map fully geared.

But now, he too had experienced that thrill.

However.

Although the feeling of combat was exhilarating, Xiao Yun still needed to maintain his rationality.

He wasn't sure if the series of actions just now were due to his true strength or just luck.

If he continued to fight like this, he might end up making a mistake due to an increasingly inflated ego.

Although Xiao Yun wasn't a combat player in his previous life, he had seen many friends and watched many live streams.

Especially those who frequently went bankrupt, almost all of them were like this.

After an exhilarating battle in the game, killing one team, they would want to kill more.

After killing two teams, even if their team's condition was very poor, they would still want to continue fighting.

And if they killed three teams, it would be even more incredible.

They would immediately prepare to clear the entire map!

In such situations, combat makes people blind.

Xiao Yun had seen countless matches where the streamer had killed two teams and was loaded, able to extract, but still insisted on finding more people to fight, ultimately ruining the entire game.

“To verify my own strength, I still need to do it in a safe situation.”

Xiao Yun took a deep breath, now calm.

At this moment, he was not just aiming to complete the GTI assessment.

More importantly, he wanted to break the GTI assessment record to qualify for rewards from the headquarters.

Therefore, he must eliminate all possibilities of making a mistake.

Not to mention, making a mistake due to his own personal issues.

This was absolutely unacceptable to him.

“Xiao Yun? Is the battle over?”

“Why aren’t you talking? Master, have you entered the main building?”

And just then.

Xiao Yun had only been stunned in place for a few seconds when Lu Xueqing and Liu Shihhan noticed something was wrong and quickly asked over the radio channel.

“It’s nothing, I’m just looting equipment. I’ll be in right away.”

After speaking, Xiao Yun excitedly went up and took all the weapons from the three soldiers.

As for the Five-Sets they were wearing, Xiao Yun had no interest in recovering them.

Although Xiao Yun had already sold all the Five-Sets, weapons, and bullets he had scavenged in the restricted zone that morning to the trading post.

But based on his previous experience, Xiao Yun also knew that the space in the special Secure Container was limited.

And helmets and armor occupied too much space; he couldn’t fit all the Five-Sets or Four-Sets like he could with other supplies.

However, although armor took up a lot of space, helmets could still be taken.

So, Xiao Yun picked up the Level 5 helmets from the three soldiers and put them into the Secure Container, and the earnings from this round had already reached a considerable amount.

[Rare Secure Container

Ability: Universal Storage

Capacity: 138 / 810

Material Value: 14460278]

He saw.

Since there were still a few Six-Sets in the Secure Container, what was displayed now was the total material value.

However, with a thought, Xiao Yun quickly added another data point to the Rare Secure Container panel.

[Rare Secure Container

Ability: Universal Storage

Capacity: 138 / 810

Material Value: 14460278

Material Value for this round: 2405882]

“This makes it clear at a glance.”

Xiao Yun nodded in satisfaction.

With this setting, the material value obtained in this round was distinguished.

And seeing that he had already earned two million in this round, Xiao Yun couldn't help but exclaim that the Eternal Night Dam in this world was truly bountiful!

Killing a squad of soldiers for two million—if this were in the game from his previous life, wouldn't it require 10 million in combat readiness value to even enter!

Regarding the stingy game planners from his previous life, Xiao Yun didn't think they would give players such a good money-making opportunity.

“Let’s see the situation of the other teams.”

Xiao Yun ran towards the Administrative Building, while also activating his Destiny Skill with a thought, peering into the movements of other teams in this match.

......

“This is bad! There’s a team attacking the construction site outside the West Building!”

At the same time, in the Administrative Building.

Outside the East Building Managers Office, an Asala Soldier ran frantically to the second floor, and upon seeing Seyid, he quickly reported.

“The team near the construction site just sent a message saying they encountered a team of operatives near the container truck, but when I tried to contact them back to get more details, they had already lost contact! They’ve probably met with disaster!”

“Understood.”

Seyid merely nodded silently at the soldier's report, his tone very calm.

It seemed he had already anticipated the current situation and was not surprised.

“Reporting, sir!”

And just then.

Another soldier also rushed towards the second floor in a hurry.

“A team has already entered the Parking Lot outside the East Building! The team in the Parking Lot is currently in a standoff with them. They engaged in a skirmish, and two members of the Parking Lot squad were seriously injured. Should we dispatch elite troops to support them?”

“How long can they hold out?”

Seyid asked coldly.

“Three minutes at most...”

“Alright then, this time, I’ll go personally!”

Seyid shouldered his M249, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth beneath his imperceptible mask.

“Finally, after this whole afternoon, a team dares to challenge this Administrative District. My hands have been itching for a long time!”

“Boss is mighty!”

“Sir is awesome!”

Hearing that Seyid intended to go personally, the two reporting soldiers were greatly encouraged.

Their initial anxiety about the Administrative District being attacked now turned into wild joy.

In the restricted zone, Asala and Hafk forces generally operate on a 6-hour shift system.

At 6 AM, 12 PM, 6 PM, and 0 AM sharp every day, it is time for the soldiers to change shifts and posts.

And the soldiers in the Administrative Building in this match, after their shift change, were encountering an attack on the Administrative Building for the first time.

Originally, the ordinary soldiers were extremely worried, but seeing their boss Seyid so passionate, they were involuntarily infected by his spirit.

“Let’s go, we’ll support the Parking Lot!”

Saying this, Seyid, holding his M249, was the first to sprint towards the Parking Lot.

......

At the same time, on the other side.

Just as Seyid was rushing towards the Parking Lot, Xiao Yun's figure also appeared at the entrance of the West Building's first floor.

Hearing the familiar BGM, he knew that Seyid appeared in the Administrative Building in this match and had not spawned at the Large Substation.

“Still need to be careful.”

Xiao Yun thought to himself, then pushed open the door and entered directly from the West Building's first floor.

Just now, he had also observed the movements of other teams through his Destiny Skill.

In this match, six teams had entered the map as well; besides him, there was another team that had also spawned at the Administrative Building's first position.

However, when they tried to enter the Parking Lot from the East Building's first position, they were attacked by a regular Asala Squad, and they were still in a standoff in the last second Xiao Yun observed.

And in this match, because the other GTI teams understood the difficulty of the Eternal Night Dam and had all equipped themselves with Five-Sets or higher, there was no situation like that morning where they immediately surrendered upon encountering an Asala Squad.

Currently, it seemed that one team had entered the Military Camp, Cement Factory, Large Substation, and Visitor Center respectively, and there was no mutual encounter between GTI teams for now.

“It seems everyone has a bright future in this round!”

Xiao Yun smiled faintly, while his figure began to move through the Administrative Building.

He had a basic understanding of the Asala Squad's deployment in the Administrative Building.

The West Building and East Building would each have a regular squad and a unit composed of elite soldiers; those in the West Building were inside, while those in the East Building were outside.

In addition, the underground area also had a Flamethrower Soldier team with two supporting one.

However, this team did not carry Six-Sets, and for some reason, they were also like in the game: even if the squad above them were all dead, the soldiers below would not react.

Xiao Yun just didn't know if this Flamethrower Soldier would have a special situation like in his previous life's game, where they would rush up to the second-floor manager's office with a flamethrower shortly after the start to block the door.

In his previous life, Xiao Yun had encountered this situation several times in the Administrative Building. He had just entered the East Building to search for the large safe, heard footsteps outside, thought it was ordinary soldiers and ignored it, but as soon as the door opened, he was roasted.

Not only Flamethrower Soldiers, but sometimes even Machine Gunners and Rocket Soldiers would sneak into the Administrative Building with their respective weapons, catching players off guard.

“I hope this situation doesn’t happen.”

Xiao Yun sighed inwardly, while searching for Seyid's figure.

At this moment, he had developed a control skill even more invincible than the Tiger Crouching Cannon.

Whenever he encountered Seyid, Xiao Yun could just use an electric arrow to make his scalp tingle with electricity, and he would be cut down with a single knife before he could even speak!

“Strange, where is he?”

However.

When Xiao Yun traversed back and forth through the floors, checking both the West Building and East Building, and both the first and second floors, he still couldn't find Seyid's figure.

Yet, the BGM exclusive to the Administrative District was playing in his headphones, as if just by arriving in this area, his headphones would automatically receive some signal, thereby obtaining information that Seyid had appeared in this match.

Xiao Yun frowned and activated his Destiny Skill again.

The next second, Xiao Yun locked onto the team that had just entered the Parking Lot outside the East Building.

“Indeed!”

Seeing the scene in his Destiny Skill, Xiao Yun immediately found Seyid's location.

Just as he had expected, it seemed that upon hearing the report from the Parking Lot team, Seyid had already arrived at the Parking Lot.

At this moment, he was also bringing a three-person squad from the East Building, looking imposing, like a lion surveying its territory.

And the GTI Professional Team in the Parking Lot had also realized Seyid's appearance.

However, unlike a normal reaction.

Upon learning of Seyid's appearance, these three did not panic; instead, they were making gestures to each other, seemingly discussing tactics.

“They... aren’t they going to challenge Seyid?”

Seeing the team's actions, Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Facing Seyid's attack, instead of fleeing, they intended to counter-kill him? Interesting.

Thinking this, Xiao Yun also pulled out a few Destiny Skill cards and held them in his left hand, intending to constantly monitor the situation there.

But at the same time, his actions were not idle.

Since Seyid had rushed out with a group of subordinates, the East Building of the Administrative Building now only had an elite squad left.

Among them, one shield, one sniper, and one Machine Gunner; the three of them combined were wearing two Six-Sets, plus one Six-Head.

And at this moment, they were also attracted by the commotion in the Parking Lot, all three watching the situation there as if watching a show.

“Prepare to move!”

With a thought, Xiao Yun switched out skill cards in his hand, then rushed towards the balcony.

......

Outside the restricted zone.

He Yan and Ah San stood together, observing the data on each other's tablets to obtain complete information.

However, they found that more than a minute had passed since the start of this match.

From the location information on Ah San's tablet, Xiao Yun had run two laps in the Administrative Building, then returned to the East Building.

“What’s going on? He’s running around like that in the Administrative Building, isn’t he afraid of being surrounded by soldiers?”

Seeing Xiao Yun's movement route, Ah San was completely baffled.

Logically speaking, if a normal person ran like that, Seyid would directly chase after them and deal with them.

But Xiao Yun was running around so much, it felt like he treated the Administrative Building as his own home!

“Examiner He, how’s your data?”

“Let me see...”

Saying this, He Yan also began to observe the data on the tablet.

However.

When he saw the displayed attributes, he was instantly a bit stunned.

“What’s the situation with this match?”

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing his abnormal expression, Ah San asked in confusion.

“Hasn’t this Xiao Yun been in the Administrative Building for almost half a minute? Why is the value of the materials searched still 0 in this round?”
