That's perfect, I don't have to go looking for you guys anymore.
Why would you turn down a head that's been offered to you?
The trigger, as hard as steel, remained pressed down; the recoil was controlled, and the aiming position remained fixed.
[Assist in defeating (Sharp Blade) Claw Li Gang!]
[Help defeat (Blade) Luna!]
Just then, the entire magazine was emptied.
Luckily, I brought plenty of bullets.
If a single large drumstick could wipe out an entire squad, he'd be willing to bring in twenty sets of golden eggs.
"A clean and swift annihilation of the team!"
"Lin Xuan's handling of this situation was phenomenal!"
"By silently approaching the ropes and setting up their guns, they gave [Blade] a reason to launch a blitzkrieg."
"With Fu Baixue's clean and decisive follow-up shot, the two of them took down three of the opponents!"
Da Mimi's voice rose a lot
"What a pity about Sharp Blade. If Ye Xuan had successfully retreated, this match would have been over."
"Even if it's a flying squirrel or a drop-out retreat, as long as Lin Xuan can leave, it counts as a successful evacuation!"
"It all depends on Lin Xuan's choice: will he choose to clear the map or leave directly?"
The audience looked at each other in bewilderment.
It's only been five minutes since the game started!
Has the "Sharp Blade" been eliminated?
Or was he personally sent away by Lin Xuan?
Kicked to death like a stray dog on the street?
"【Sharp Blade】was he throwing the game? That position is a basic spot, how could he not queue for it?"
"Zhang Datong, stop this! Why is this a lightning strike? It doesn't make any sense!"
"I'm really laughing. This [Sharp Blade] is ranked ninety-fifth? It's not even as good as the reserve group."
"Zhang Datong is an old fogey, get out of here and make room for the younger generation."
"This Lin Xuan, his skill level seems good enough to join our assault team, he just needs a good teammate."
"Sigh, we underestimated Lin Xuan a bit. It's a pity. With Zhang Datong of Sharp Blade gone, the whole thing is over."
Tian Ji looked at Li Xiaolong with a pleading expression.
"Team leader, I beg you."
What should have been discussed privately in Li Xiaolong's office was instead brought into the open by Tian Ji.
Everyone was well aware of Tian Ji's purpose in doing this.
They simply wanted Li Xiaolong to show leniency.
After all, this is where the instructors of the assault team and the leaders of the action team are located.
Li Xiaolong wouldn't be too ruthless.
"Tian Ji really likes Zhang Datong as a student. He's usually so arrogant, but now he's swallowing his pride and begging for mercy?"
"It just goes to show that the core of the 'Sharp Blade' strategy cannot be lost. What use are Li Gang and that Luna? They still rely on Zhang Datong."
"Team Leader Li should be lenient, there's no reason for him to be so heartless."
"Yes, we see each other all the time, and they're all loyal instructors serving the country. There's no need to make such a big fuss."
"This Lin Xuan is ungrateful; he's caused such a huge commotion. Now that he's in the assault team, who would dare take him on?"
"Exactly, this kind of ungrateful wretch is disgusting to even be associated with."
Li Xiaolong did not rush to respond, but instead looked down at the other party.
Tian Ji felt a little numb from being stared at.
But there was nothing more to say.
"Do you really want him to stay?" Li Xiaolong's voice was laced with disdain.
"If you can't even beat the freshmen in the reserve group, are you going to stay in the assault group as a parasite?"
This accusation was so severe that even Tian Ji was too intimidated to speak.
"Please give him another chance. The main issue is that this competition is full of randomness."
"An opportunity?" Li Xiaolong laughed.
"Will the Supreme God give us a chance? Why didn't you go to the Supreme God and beg for a chance when we were failing repeatedly?"
"Now you're thinking of asking me for a chance? I've been following this whole thing. If it weren't for Li Gang from your group stirring things up, how would this competition have even happened?"
"Do you think it's acceptable for you to waste our task force's resources?"
"Or do you think this is a right that your assault team should have?"
"Are you necessarily inferior to those in the reserve group?"
Tian Ji's face turned pale, and he remained silent.
Li Xiaolong doesn't usually say such harsh things.
He was clearly angry this time.
"You like pleading? Go to the reserve group to calm down first, and we'll decide your fate in two months."
Tian Ji's body trembled.
Even my spot as an instructor in the assault group is going to be taken away?
"As for your most outstanding student, Zhang Datong, known as 'Sharp Blade,' he has the ability to enter the action team through the national selection process. This time, let's just let it go."
A seemingly casual remark, yet it sealed the fate of Tian Ji ("Sharp Blade") and Zhang Datong.
"The remaining two don't have the strength for the assault team anyway, so let them go to the reserve team to hone their skills."
After Li Xiaolong finished speaking, he turned and left.
Tian Ji was not given any chance to explain.
With a "bang"
Tian Ji knelt heavily on the ground
Unable to say a word
Everyone present understood
The "Sharp Blade" squad is completely finished.
Delta Exclusion Zone
Lin Xuan had already filled the bag.
The tower remained quiet, as if the focus of the game wasn't actually inside it.
Or perhaps someone else deliberately created this stage for them.
"Get me two signs, I need to leave." Lin Xuan didn't hesitate at all, and pulled the shutter to go upstairs as soon as the time was up.
Fu Baixue was taken aback; she hadn't expected Lin Xuan to be so decisive.
This guy really wants [Sharp Blade] dead.
"Should we just go straight for the flying squirrel?" Fu Baixue asked again, but still took the dog tags of the three members of the Sharp Blade Squad as Lin Xuan had instructed.
"Of course, the outcome is already decided, isn't it?"
Fu Baixue nodded; the decision was perfectly fine.
There was absolutely no need to play a third game.
"Then let's go upstairs, I'll cover you."
Fu Baixue knew very well that Lin Xuan had already left, so her chances of survival were practically nil.
I just didn't expect Lin Xuan to abandon me this time in order to evacuate.
I thought I was going to be taken along with them through the gate.
"Lin Xuan made his choice, just as I thought. He chose to go directly to the top of the tower to attack the flying squirrel. No problem, as long as they can evacuate, this match can be declared over."
Da Mimi actually agrees with Lin Xuan's approach.
This itself is not against the rules, and whether it's honorable or not is impossible to determine.
After all, it's all for their own victory or defeat.
Fu Baixue took out the dog tag of the Sharp Blade contestant and handed it to Lin Xuan. She also tossed two small gold pieces and a set of golden eggs from her bag to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan laughed, "Why would I give it to you?"
"Hmm?" Fu Baixue was a little puzzled. Lin Xuan was also a high-level player, how could he ask such a question?
I would definitely give you the valuable item and then fight the other side to the death, right?
But what she didn't expect was that...
The next second, Lin Xuan threw away his chest strap and backpack.
"Stop dawdling, carry me on your back, the museum staff need to go into the tower."
Chapter 34 The Gamble Ends, The Fate of [The Blade]
Fu Baixue suddenly felt a warmth in her heart.
Was he actually thinking of giving me the flying squirrel spot?
I had thought too badly of Lin Xuan.
