16: Chapter 016 Stunned by the Knife

By the time Zhou Xiaoyi came to her senses, the game results screen appeared.

[Mission: Capture Bazi Bridge failed. Survival time: two hours and thirty-seven minutes. Enemies killed: 0.]

[Although your performance in this battle was poor, your survivability was acceptable. Game rating: 50.]

Zhou Xiaoyi ignored this page.

Her thoughts remained stuck on Li Yan's recent death and the words he spoke in his final moments.

The image of Li Yan's death kept flashing through her mind.

She never imagined that someone would actually throw their life away, pressing their body onto a grenade.

"Did China win?"

She wanted to know, too.

Inside the livestream room, the audience was going crazy.

"So sad, this is so heartbreaking."

"Li Yan died right in front of Sister Yi to save her; I'm already crying my eyes out."

"I'm numb. Is this a closed beta easter egg?"

"By the way, about Li Yan's last words... Did China win?"

"They must have won, right? If the game developer wrote that they lost, I'm definitely going to bring a knife over and make them change it."

"What do you mean 'probably'? It's a certainty. If the developer dares to write that they lost, they won't be able to show their face in China."

Zhou Xiaoyi recovered from the shock of Li Yan's death.

Seeing the comments, she felt even more emotional.

"Guys, it's my fault that Li Yan died. If I hadn't been holding him back, he definitely wouldn't have died."

As Zhou Xiaoyi spoke, her eyes turned red again.

She was naturally quite emotional, and the thought that Li Yan died because of her filled her with guilt.

"Sister Yi, don't be sad, isn't Li Yan just an NPC?"

"That's right, look on the bright side. Maybe you'll run into him again in your next game."

"I'm from the other stream. I saw Li Yan's information panel. Even without the streamer, Li Yan wouldn't have survived that day."

As soon as this comment appeared, the livestream room went instantly quiet.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhou Xiaoyi asked, feeling a bit confused as she saw the comment.

"It's just that, you know how Brother Wang can see the NPC's panels? Li Yan's time of death was set for that day."

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoyi felt a bitter taste in her heart.

The comments went silent once again.

"Doesn't that mean that even if you meet Li Yan again in the game, he will still die on that day and can never escape his fate?"

"Huh? I was hoping that when the public beta starts, we could change his fate. Is that how it works?"

"Is it a Book of Life and Death? Can he only live until that day?"

Seeing the comments, Zhou Xiaoyi, who had just started to recover, became even sadder.

She had just been thinking that if she met Li Yan next time, she definitely wouldn't hold him back.

But it turned out that Li Yan had already been sentenced to death.

"Guys, I'm not in a good mood. I'm ending the stream."

After saying this, Zhou Xiaoyi didn't care that there were still hundreds of thousands of viewers in the livestream room and ended the stream immediately.

At this moment, Zhou Yang watched the stream-ended screen.

He shook his head helplessly.

He had been watching Zhou Xiaoyi the whole time; after all, she was the first streamer to discover his game's CG.

He definitely needed to take care of her a bit more.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaoyi was the first player to uncover an easter egg.

He had hidden many easter eggs in the game.

The conditions to trigger these easter eggs were all random.

The purpose of the easter egg that Zhou Xiaoyi triggered was just to emotionally devastate the streamer and the players.

He had just harvested quite a lot of emotional value.

Not only from Zhou Xiaoyi, but also from the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the livestream room.

Among them, Zhou Xiaoyi contributed the most emotional value; one person was worth several other streamers.

It was even more than that guy Old Hei from earlier.

It looked like she was truly emotionally devastated, and Zhou Yang began to worry a little about Zhou Xiaoyi's mental state.

Looking at the words indicating the stream had ended, Zhou Yang turned his attention to Wang Ye's livestream room.

Over here, Wang Ye had just learned that Zhou Xiaoyi was gone.

And Li Yan was gone along with her.

This immediately left Wang Ye stunned.

But before he could think much more, several Little Devils appeared behind him.

These Little Devils were the very ones who had just killed Zhou Xiaoyi and Li Yan.

The audience in the livestream room saw these Little Devils and were frantically spamming the chat, telling Wang Ye to avenge Zhou Xiaoyi and Li Yan.

Viewers from Zhou Xiaoyi's livestream room flooded into Wang Ye's livestream room.

The livestream room, which already had hundreds of thousands of viewers, suddenly surged to over a million.

Seeing these Little Devils, Wang Ye immediately picked up the light machine gun in his hands and opened fire.

When enemies meet, they are especially hostile.

"Little Devils! Your grandpa is right here!"

Wang Ye laughed while sweeping the area with gunfire.

Three or four Little Devils were killed on the spot by him.

The remaining dozen or so Little Devils immediately sought cover while throwing grenades.

Seeing the grenades, Wang Ye immediately dove to the ground.

These Little Devils were clearly an elite squad; otherwise, they couldn't have breached the position so easily.

After a few explosions, a few Little Devils poked their heads out to check the situation.

As a result, they were taken out by a burst of bullets from Wang Ye, who had been waiting for a long time.

The Japanese Officer leading this squad saw this and became somewhat furious.

They had actually been blocked by a single person.

"Blow him to pieces!"

The Japanese Officer ordered all the Little Devils to throw grenades.

At this moment, Wang Ye had finished firing a burst and felt very satisfied.

But the next second, he saw over a dozen grenades flying through the air.

Seeing this, his expression changed instantly.

"Damn it, using so many grenades just to deal with one person?"

He got up, wanting to dodge, but there was simply no way to escape.

As his vision went black.

The game was over.

[Mission: Capture Bazi Bridge failed. Survival time: two hours and fifty minutes. Enemies killed: 9.]

[As a basic squad leader in the army, you did not fulfill your duties, leading the team like you were sleepwalking during the early and middle stages. However, your combat in the later stage was heroic and commendable. Game rating: 60.]

Seeing this rating, Wang Ye sighed.

He had no objections, because he really had been slacking off earlier.

As a squad leader, he hadn't known what he was supposed to be doing.

Zhou Yang saw that Wang Ye had also finished the game and didn't continue watching.

He went to Old Hei's livestream room.

At this moment, Old Hei was still continuing the challenge.

"Guys, I've already killed that Little Devil three times; it feels so good."

Old Hei said with a chuckle.

In the livestream room, the audience was a bit speechless upon hearing Old Hei's words.

"Old Hei, stop killing him. You're holding such a grudge."

"Someone next door has already cleared the game, why are you still playing?"

"If you keep killing him, the guys in the livestream room are all going to leave."

Zhou Yang saw the comments and was very surprised.

Someone cleared it?

He had been watching the stream the whole time and hadn't paid much attention.

Seeing this, he immediately opened his computer and logged into the game's backend.

Upon checking, there really was someone who had cleared it.

Because the condition he set was just to capture it, not to hold it continuously.

So there was a possibility of clearing it, it was just a bit difficult.

But now, it had only been seven hours since the test started.

And someone had already cleared it.

Opening the player clearance records of the game, Zhou Yang immediately checked them.

He wanted to see how exactly this player had managed to clear the game.

He took a look at the ID of this player who cleared the game; it was Old Kui.

Seeing this name, Zhou Yang felt it sounded familiar.

He took out his phone, searched for it, and immediately found it.

Old Kui Games, a gaming streamer skilled in FPS war games, with over five million followers.

The original owner had also followed this streamer.

So it was him, Zhou Yang was surprised.
