“Damn it, it’s the Tyrant!”
“Run, quick, run!”
The leader of Yun Xiao’s team only managed to roar out that sentence before grabbing a nearby teammate and frantically rushing into a building.
Immediately after,
an explosion sounded behind them.
Boom!
It only took a few seconds for the Tyrant to lock on and fire its rocket launcher.
He was using a quad-rocket launcher, and in those few seconds, Yun Xiao’s position had already been showered by four rockets.
After firing the rockets,
the Tyrant stood still, reloading.
Only after ensuring its ammunition was sufficient did it continue forward, arriving at the bombed location.
The Tyrant’s infrared scanner swept the area several times, confirming there were no longer any signs of life.
But strangely, there were no corpses either.
The excited voice of the commentator echoed throughout the channel, “Unbelievable! Is this the reaction and speed of a professional player? Under the Tyrant’s rocket bombardment, Yun Xiao’s entire team escaped unharmed into the building beside them!”
“Unharmed” here actually meant no deaths.
In fact,
Yun Xiao’s team was not in good condition.
They all had more or less some injuries from the explosion, and the most severely injured one was already affected in his movement.
His entire leg was blown off.
It was another teammate who had to drag him back.
“That guy must have done it on purpose! He could have gotten away, but he turned back into our alley just to lure the Tyrant to us.”
The legless teammate gritted his teeth, blaming everything on Qi Maosong.
“Shut up.”
Yun Xiao’s leader lightly reprimanded, interrupting his complaints.
During the match, every word would be recorded.
Saying such complaints would only lower the outside world’s impression of Yun Xiao.
“We are inherently in a competitive relationship. Just as we attacked him, he can also use the Tyrant to kill us.”
Yun Xiao’s leader said calmly, “What we need to consider now is how to escape.”
This damned Dungeon is too difficult.
Everyone’s gazes darkened slightly.
When they watched other players’ live streams from outside before, they hadn’t felt much.
They only felt that while this Dungeon had some challenges, it wouldn’t be too difficult for them.
In their imagination,
the game’s progression should have involved collecting weapon resources in the early stages, followed by team battles in the mid-to-late stages.
Several small teams would shuttle between floors, engaging in point-blank shooting and competing in reaction speed.
However, in reality...
Only after they personally entered did they realize they had been somewhat naive.
While the ordinary zombies here were slow-moving and didn't pose much of a threat, there were simply too many of them.
Once any loud noise was made, large hordes of zombies would surge over.
This prevented them from using firearms much at all.
In most cases, they relied on close-combat weapons.
And the elite monsters inside were ridiculously strong.
They had previously encountered a Smoker and a Fatty.
The Smoker’s tongue had a huge impact on them, and the toxins sprayed when the Fatty exploded almost caused them to lose a member.
From their initial confidence,
they were now trembling with fear.
Under this oppressive apocalyptic atmosphere, Yun Xiao and the others were actually already in a difficult situation.
Originally, their goal was to go to an underground shopping mall, but after witnessing the power of the Smoker and the Fatty, facing the even stronger Witch zombies inside, Yun Xiao and the others had actually chickened out.
That’s why they had been hiding near this building.
Only when they saw Qi Maosong rushing over on his motorcycle did they reveal themselves to attempt a quick kill.
But they didn’t expect that...
Qi Maosong wasn’t killed; instead, he led the Tyrant to them, and a few rockets almost wiped them out.
This made them feel a surge of oppression.
The imagined scene of several small teams engaging in point-blank combat not only didn't materialize, but they were instead tormented by these minor monsters.
And now one was crippled.
How could they even fight now?
“That Tyrant is still outside the door.”
The reconnaissance team member rushed back, reporting not-so-good news.
Yun Xiao’s leader frowned.
“It’s fine. We’ve checked this building already. As long as we hide upstairs, the Tyrant won’t find us.”
The other teammates nodded.
Although the Tyrant’s detection range was large, if they were deep inside a building, the signal would be blocked. As long as they kept their movements small, the Tyrant would lose its target.
Therefore, they just needed to go upstairs and wait for the Tyrant to leave on its own.
The game difficulty was high, and the monsters were powerful.
But it also indirectly meant that as long as they were sufficiently sneaky,
and stayed hidden until all the other teams were killed by monsters, wouldn't victory belong to them?
While this tactic was a bit underhanded, it was sometimes very effective.
It just couldn't be openly discussed, so Yun Xiao’s leader could only think about it inwardly.
“The leader is right. Let’s go upstairs first, sweep this floor again, and then rest for a bit.”
Another teammate said.
After speaking, he went to help the injured teammate.
“As long as the Tyrant can’t find us, it will naturally leave.”
“But…”
At this moment, an unusual sound suddenly came from the floor.
A voice chuckled, “I’ve found you!”
Yun Xiao’s team instantly felt a chill.
They looked towards the end of the office building floor.
A figure waved at them.
That figure was Qi Maosong.
“It’s him! He’s back!” the commentator exclaimed again.
Unexpectedly, Qi Maosong, who had disappeared into the dark alley on his motorcycle, had quietly entered the building after circling around to the back of the office building.
When Yun Xiao’s team hid on this floor, Qi Maosong had also arrived.
However, he did not choose to take a cheap shot.
Instead, he gave a very enthusiastic greeting.
Then he threw a grenade, blowing open a side window of the office building.
The loud noise created, and the loss of a window’s insulation, caused the Tyrant’s detector to immediately start beeping again, signaling that it had found prey.
The Gatling gun in its hand slowly raised.
Da da da da.
The Gatling gun furiously unleashed bullets, firing towards the upper floor.
Blue flames even emerged from the muzzle.
In an instant, thousands of bullets all turned into spent casings.
Under this terrifying suppressive fire,
an entire floor of the office building was riddled with holes.
The reinforced concrete was covered in bullet marks.
Bullets pierced through the concrete walls, and the entire room was swept into disarray.
Three corpses lay there.
Becoming a mere decoration in this game.
【Calculating.】
【Calculation complete: In this Dungeon, you have obtained one bag of rice, one cake...】
Adventurer World.
In the Yun Xiao strategy team’s studio, three team members opened their eyes.
“Holy crap! That bastard kid actually used such a treacherous method.”
“Damn it!”
“The Tyrant’s firepower is too strong, there’s nowhere to hide! I was already hiding under the table, but bullets still pierced through the concrete from below and headshotted me with one shot.”
“Yeah, the lethality is too high.”
The several people exclaimed.
“Speaking of which…” A teammate, holding a pile of food in his hands, said with some disbelief, “This is too much that the Lord gave, isn’t it? This, this, this…”
