44: Chapter 44 Kill Ranking: Seventh!

After sending the message, Wang Jian gritted his teeth hard and leaned behind that dilapidated van.

His hands gripped an old rifle tightly, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force.

His palms were drenched in cold sweat, and his heart pounded violently in his chest.

But he did not retreat, his eyes staring fixedly at the entrance of the plaza, prepared for a fight to the death.

Even if he could only delay for a second, he had to hold out until the guild's main force arrived with reinforcements!

Time passed second by second, and every second of waiting was suffocating.

Only two minutes had passed.

“Boom—!”

From outside the deathly silent plaza, the roar of a violent engine suddenly echoed.

Immediately after, several heavy-duty off-road vehicles forcefully smashed through the ruins and charged into the Evacuation Plaza, surrounding Wang Jian, who was at the center of the pillar of light.

Leading them were high-level Red Name Players with prefixes for Area C-4 and Area C-18!

When these vicious thugs jumped out of their vehicles and saw that in the center of the purple light pillar, there was only a dilapidated van and an ordinary White Name Player whose legs were shaking with fear...

...everyone was stunned for a moment before bursting into a fit of unrestrained, wild laughter.

“Hahaha! This is killing me! I thought some top-tier big shot had dropped Epic Materials, but after all that, it's just a trash player on his own!”

A bald brute from Area C-18, carrying a machete, laughed so hard that tears almost came out.

On the other side, a tall, thin man from Area C-4 toyed with a dagger in his hand, his eyes staring greedily at Wang Jian.

He sneered and turned to the bald brute: “What do you say, Mad Dog? Is your Area C-18 planning to compete with me?”

The man called Mad Dog spat: “Tch! There's only one prey.”

“Every man for himself. Whoever kills him first gets the Epic Materials, how about it?”

The tall, thin man licked his lips, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes: “Fine! Deal!”

Both groups immediately erupted in cruel laughter.

Dozens of high-level Red Name Players raised their weapons and, like a cat playing with a mouse, approached Wang Jian in the center of the light pillar with mocking steps.

The shadow of death instantly and completely enveloped Wang Jian.

At that critical moment...

...from the end of the ruined street in the distance, the sound of multiple engines racing suddenly arrived!

“Vroom, vroom, vroom—!”

The sound grew closer, violently tearing through the silence of the plaza.

The laughter of all the Red Name Players stopped abruptly as they snapped their heads toward the source of the sound.

At the corner of the street, one vehicle, two vehicles, ten vehicles...

...dozens of combat vehicles painted in eye-catching red, like a herd of crazed buffalo, smashed through the surrounding vehicles without slowing down and forced their way into the Evacuation Plaza!

“Fuck! Who the hell dares to touch a brother of our Red Wolf Guild?!”

From the leading red heavy-duty pickup, a man from Area C-72 leaned halfway out of the window, holding a light machine gun, and let out a world-shaking roar with bloodshot eyes.

Immediately after.

“Screech—!”

Dozens of red combat vehicles drifted in unison, positioning themselves resolutely in front of Wang Jian's van.

They formed a tense standoff against the hundreds of well-equipped vehicles around them.

Seeing this group of red-vehicle players who had suddenly barged in to interfere, the faces of the Red Name thugs from Area C-4 and Area C-18 darkened.

The man from Area C-72 at the front cocked his gun, pointing it directly at the opposing Red Name Players, and shouted: “The people of our Red Wolf Guild aren't so easy to bully!”

“We're definitely getting involved in this today! Either you get the hell out of here quietly, or you stay here forever!”

Facing this firm warning, Mad Dog from Area C-18 let out a disdainful sneer.

“Tch! A bunch of trash who don't know when to die. You really think you're saviors?”

Mad Dog turned to the tall, thin man from Area C-4, his eyes vicious: “Old Viper, let's team up and clear out these red-haired trash first! Whoever kills more gets the materials, how about it?”

The tall, thin man called Old Viper laughed sinisterly and waved his hand: “No problem! Kill them!”

Before the words had even faded, the villainous faction suddenly attacked!

“Bang, bang, bang—!”

Dense heavy machine gun bullets poured out like raindrops, instantly tearing through the night sky.

“Take cover! Return fire!”

The group from Area C-72 reacted quickly, lunging toward their respective vehicles and using the car bodies as cover to engage in a fierce firefight with the opposing Red Name Players.

In an instant, the entire Evacuation Plaza was filled with soaring flames and the loud roar of gunfire.

“Fire! Hit them hard! We can't let them get a single step closer to Brother Wang!”

The leading man fired wildly with his light machine gun, the barrel glowing red, forcefully pushing back several players who were trying to charge.

The other members of the Red Wolf Guild were not to be outdone, throwing various grenades and flashbangs as if they cost nothing.

Old Viper and Mad Dog on the other side were also a bit dazed by this display.

They thought this was a group of lambs to be slaughtered at will, but they didn't expect to kick a steel plate that was outrageously hard.

“Damn it, why is this [Red Wolf Guild] bunch so hard to deal with!”

Mad Dog huddled behind a scrapped car, dodging a rocket that grazed past his scalp, and cursed through gritted teeth.

Both sides relied on damaged combat vehicles as cover, trading blows and refusing to give an inch.

Dense bullets wove a lethal net of fire in mid-air; people constantly fell after being hit, and blood stained the ruins of the plaza red.

The battle was exceptionally brutal, quickly falling into a white-hot state of stalemate.

Area C-72, with their fearless momentum and dense net of firepower, actually managed to pin down these high-level Red Name Players who lived on the edge of a blade.

Neither side could gain the upper hand.

Just as both sides were deadlocked and the situation had reached an impasse...

“Boom—Crack!”

A row of ruined walls on the perimeter of the plaza was suddenly smashed down by a terrifying brute force.

A military armored assault vehicle, encased in heavy reactive armor and resembling a Steel Fortress, charged directly into the center of the battlefield with a terrifying momentum that crushed everything in its path, forcefully ramming aside two red combat vehicles.

Seeing this highly oppressive military armored vehicle, the Red Name Players from Area C-4, who had been struggling, were instantly boosted in morale and cheered excitedly.

“Boss!”

“Boss is here!”

The door of the armored assault vehicle slowly popped open with a hiss of hydraulics.

A giant of a man nearly two meters tall, with bulging muscles, stepped down like a god of slaughter, carrying a heavy Gatling gun stained with bits of flesh.

Above his head floated a suffocating, deep black ID:

[Area C-4, Butcher] ,

Kill Leaderboard Ranking: Seventh!

A towering, bloody murderous aura instantly swept across the entire Evacuation Plaza.
