Chapter 37 I've Got a Boss
Lin Chen finished off Luna, listened intently, and heard only one footstep, steady and without the slightest panic.
Judging from the sound, he realized that the other party had already reached the corner of the stairs and was firmly holding the entrance and exit on the second floor. They obviously knew his location and wanted to wait for him to show his face before launching a counterattack.
"He's got something."
Lin Chen smiled and nodded, not in a hurry to show himself, but slowly moved his body, using the yellow board cover to peek and probe little by little.
"But you think you can control me just because you're standing on the stairs? You're too naive."
He slowly adjusted the angle of his gun while chatting with viewers in the live stream:
"You see, this is the key to winning a game of wrestling. You can't rush it; you have to slowly wear them down and force them to reveal themselves first. He's blocking the stairwell, so his field of vision is limited to only one direction, while I can break through from multiple angles. The initiative is still in my hands."
As he spoke, Lin Chen quietly took out a smoke bomb, held it in his hand for a long time without throwing it, and deliberately made footsteps, pretending to rush from the stairwell to test the other party's reaction.
Sure enough, a faint gunshot rang out from the corner of the stairs. The other party couldn't help but fire a test shot, which inadvertently revealed their exact position.
Lin Chen raised his hand, took out a grenade launcher, and fired a triple shot at the stairwell.
They then pressed forward and sealed off the road with another shot.
He then jumped from the second floor, landing steadily on the first-floor flight box cover. He slid to the doorway, perfectly timed his opponent's descent, raised his M14, and steadily controlled the recoil, accurately eliminating the last person.
Lin Chen laughed and exclaimed into the microphone, "What do you call this? Passing through a sea of flowers without a single petal touching you, enjoying the whole place to your heart's content!"
[So cool!]
I learned something.
[Throughout the entire process, a dragon-like maneuver resulted in the annihilation of three teams.]
After eliminating everyone else, only the lone survivor from Building 3 remained on the field.
Lin Chen was too lazy to go looking for him, so he casually said, "Let that rat in Building 3 hide. I'm too lazy to bother with it."
There were six boxes on the ground, and supplies were everywhere. Lin Chen was almost dizzy from looking at them. Unfortunately, he didn't have a large backpack. The biggest bag these people had was only thirty slots, which couldn't hold so much good stuff.
Go catch the rats in Building 3! Don't let any escape!
What if that mouse is carrying a big red envelope?
The comments kept encouraging him, and Lin Chen thought it made sense, so he decided to head towards Building 3. He carefully checked the location throughout, afraid of being ambushed by Lao Liu.
They quietly checked each room on the first floor to make sure no one was there; then they fired their cannons at the stairs on the second floor to clear out any potential hiding spots and ambush locations. The details of their search were meticulous, and the viewers in the live stream exclaimed that they had learned a lot.
After searching both the first and second floors without finding anyone, they must be hiding in a room on the second floor.
As soon as Lin Chen stepped onto the second-floor corridor, he heard the coded sounds of players greeting each other.
Lin Chen was both amused and exasperated: "Seriously? I wiped out your entire team without a sound the whole time. I cleared the area completely, and you're the one who suddenly comes out to give a signal? Isn't that a bit disrespectful?"
He simply replied with a coded message; there was no other way, the live stream had to be as entertaining as possible.
The next second, a female medic hopped out of the room, lay down in front of Lin Chen, and then took off all her equipment piece by piece, even throwing her valuable satellite dish on the ground.
Lin Chen shook his head helplessly and joked, "It really is confirmed that you're a boss player. The guardian you found is too mediocre. He didn't dare to show his face the whole time after all his teammates died."
He casually picked up the large tortoise-shaped bag that the female doctor had thrown out.
Although the satellite dish on the ground was valuable, it took up space in my backpack, so I simply didn't pick it up.
He turned around and headed straight for Building 1, ready to sort through the remaining supplies he hadn't finished licking.
The female doctor obediently followed him downstairs, quietly lying down to the side, watching Lin Chen lick the bags and pack up his equipment one by one.
[The other guards couldn't protect her, now it's Brother Chen's turn to protect her.]
[This boss is too obedient; he surrendered immediately and gave us equipment.]
[Brother Chen, please take her in and get her away from here.]
Lin Chen was both amused and exasperated: "What do you mean I'm the only one protecting her? You guys are just here to watch the show and make things worse."
As he spoke, he made a few gestures to the female doctor, indicating that she could pick up the remaining ordinary supplies on the ground and eat some leftovers.
The female doctor immediately understood the gesture and obediently got up to scavenge the scattered basic supplies.
Taking advantage of the break, Lin Chen put on the extra fire control scope he had on him, looked at the female doctor, and silently memorized her game ID.
Seeing that the female doctor had almost finished eating, he followed one of the members' routes toward the core area, casually analyzing the situation:
"Three teams were eliminated from the dormitory area this round. Based on the pace of the game, there should be two teams left in the core area. We can go over there and continue clearing the map."
Seeing Lin Chen turn and walk in one direction, the female doctor quickly got up and followed behind, keeping a close eye on him and not daring to stray too far.
Lin Chen led her all the way to the buoyancy area, and just as they arrived, they heard a map notification that the helicopter evacuation point had opened.
With a flicker of his eye, he said to the live stream, "It seems the core area has been completely cleared out. Someone has pulled the helicopter gate and is preparing to evacuate."
"In that case, there's no need to go to the core area anymore. Let's go directly from Fuli Garden, hold positions, listen for footsteps, and slowly find out where the remaining people are hiding."
Someone has already pulled the plug, it seems the winner in the core area has been decided.
[Following Brother Chen, this female doctor is too obedient.]
[Next time, let's play a little more]
Lin Chen slowed his pace and led the female doctor quietly toward the high platform of the Floating Garden, listening to everything around him the whole time.
Not long after, the sound of an AI soldier firing a gun could be heard through the earpiece at the entrance of the dark room.
"The AI was firing shots at the entrance of the dark room, so there must have been players moving around near the entrance, which alerted the AI. The rest of the players are most likely stuck in that area of the dark room."
He positioned himself sideways behind the cover in the garden, setting up his M14 to pre-aim at the doorway of the darkroom.
The helicopter gate is now open, and the evacuation countdown is on. The remaining two teams will either hold their positions in the dark room or try to circle around to the helicopter evacuation point in order to evacuate before the gate closes. They all end up within his firing range.
In no time, the footsteps from the direction of the dark room suddenly became more frequent, mixed with the sounds of fighting and gunfire.
The next second, a long plume of smoke exploded, and a bee healer activated his skill, sprinting towards the direction below the bridge, clearly a lone wolf.
He was closely followed by Hazha, Luna, and Wuming, who pursued him relentlessly from behind.
Lin Chen, firmly positioned behind the high ground cover in the garden, calmly addressed the camera:
"Brothers, listen up. Here's another trigger rule for you. When camping and holding positions in Delta Force, no matter the situation or circumstances, always shoot at the far end first, then deal with the close-up. Don't fire randomly or be greedy for shots."
As soon as he finished speaking, he calmly switched to his AW, held his breath, steadied the muzzle, locked onto the fleeing Medic, and eliminated him from a distance with a precise quick-scoping shot.
Lin Chen chuckled and said with emotion, "It's all thanks to that female doctor's team, who were fully equipped. Both of their AWs had full ammo, so we didn't have to be careful with our ammo. We could snipe anyone we wanted. It was so awesome."
