Delta: With wages in place, even the Demon King's top-tier protection is crushed.

"How could I have died?"

"I definitely dodged it; I should have retreated!"

"A hallucination! It's all a hallucination!"

"How could the roadside 'spiky' team still be alive! Right! I didn't sleep well! It's all a hallucination, it's all my imagination!"

"Hahahaha! Hallucination! Hahahaha!"

"I should be sleeping now, not playing video games."

Nanbowan let out bursts of maniacal laughter, his emotions surging like a raging storm.

Amidst Nanbowan's accusations and maniacal laughter, his two teammates, Wang Zhongzhong, seemed to have aged twenty years in just three, their voices hoarse as they said, "I was killed by the Rat Rat's fierce attack... If I remember correctly, didn't they retreat? Didn't they become the two-in-one flying squirrel?"

"Why...why are they still alive? Why?"

"Why are they still killing us? Why?!"

"I don't know... All I could see were the incendiary bombs from Uluru and then the loitering munitions. I thought I could get out, but with just one second left, just one second! I died..."

Nanbowan covered his head and helplessly asked for help.

"Aa ...

During Wang Zhongzhong's conversation with the three-year-old, everything that had just happened seemed to replay in Nanbowan's eyes like a revolving lantern.

This is undoubtedly another blow.

Nanbowan broke down emotionally.

"My profile picture! Ahhh! My profile picture, my portrait!"

"I worked so hard throughout the whole game, from happily consuming three boxes at the beginning to then consuming nine boxes with two grenades. I thought fate was on our side, but then... at the last moment, hahaha! We didn't get out! We didn't get out!"

"All that work for nothing!"

"We even helped this damn melon-like animal with its bag! Hahaha! This game is so much fun!"

"Fuck you!!"

Suddenly, Nanbowan got carried away and slammed his keyboard down three times, the keycaps flying around in the air with his movements.

In the blink of an eye, the keyboard flashed an eerie blue light; it... had stopped working.

……

Studio.

"Mom, I've already knelt down. Don't ask me why I'm kneeling."

"I literally burst out laughing! Guys, head over to Nanbowan's livestream, he's already smashing his keyboard!"

"Holy crap? Really?"

"Damn it! I would have been devastated too. It's so pitiful. We all thought they were going to win, but then this idiot showed up again. Why are there three consecutive games with this 'roadside sharp team'? Their luck is unbelievable!"

"This is so pitiful. I hereby declare that the most pitiful person this time has been chosen."

"To be fair, this is a competition, and all the contestants are here to gain glory. This team of 'Gua Chu' is an exception; they're just here for the sake of creating a show."

"Pervert! Counter-Strike! Bastard! Which word can possibly describe this beast?"

"All I can say is, the main event is about to begin—another top-secret space mission is coming!"

"The betting's open! The betting's open! Will those idiots block the bridge again next time?"

……

Viewers were watching the live stream, and the teams that had already been eliminated in this round could also watch it. When Lu Ang's team was preparing to leave, the director specially extracted all the kill footage and replayed it in the split screen of the live stream.

The other four teams saw Lü Ang push Zhong Yi and his two companions off the zipline, and then they saw the final Uluru bombing the Bakshi evacuation point in fifteen seconds.

Almost everyone swallowed hard.

Especially the demolition team that died right at the start.

In their chat channel at this moment, what they were saying could be summed up in two words—fortunate.

Yes, I'm just glad.

People are not worried about scarcity, but about inequality.

Zhongyi looked at the screen in front of her, a hint of pity appearing in her eyes.

Zhongyi, YOLO, and Huihui were incredibly grateful that they died young.

So what if the elevator zipline is blocked by the Uluru concrete wall?

Although he died, at least he didn't die such a miserable death, right?

Look at the current predicament of the roadside team. They thought they were going to win, and they were smiling happily until the very end, only to be hit with this devastating blow.

Who could stand it?

If you die before the game even starts, your team might also be hit by the so-called Bakshi Uluru bomb at the 15-second evacuation point.

If I were to be instantly destroyed, then I would be the one whose defenses are now 100% breached.

When Zhong Yi and the other two thought of this, smiles of relief spread across their faces.

Meanwhile, Lin Shu was observing from the other side.

He kept shaking his head and lamenting, "Beast! Beast! Beast..."

"What kind of nonsense is going on in Lü Ang's head?"

"My God! We have to be careful when we play this map tomorrow. Better safe than sorry, I'm just afraid that some of the other teams in our Group B might have some bastards who copy Lü Ang."

……

Amidst the ongoing discussion and shock among netizens, Lü Ang's team, including Bakshi, the last remaining member of the team in this round, successfully evacuated with Haotian as the countdown at the evacuation point ended.

Both players gained a lot in this game.

A big stir-fry.

In the end, Lü Ang won 1003 million in this round.

Haotian 938 million.

The two of them together have a combined value of 1941 million.

19.41M!

A total of 19.41M. If we add the 1.2M that Chengcheng took out, the Mouse Attack Team harvested a total of 20.61M in this round!

Such data is enough to make one stand out from the crowd.

And that wasn't even the limit. If their bags hadn't been so small, and if King Chengcheng hadn't left, they could have eaten even more. After all, there was still a pile of supplies on the ground that Lü Ang and Haotian couldn't finish.

The total estimated cost is at least seven or eight million!

They've already evacuated, so don't even think about it anymore.

In this "Big Red Operation," Group A only has two top-secret aerospace-related games left.

As the players' break time came to an end, the fourth map, Top Secret Aerospace, was about to begin.

Official live stream room.

"Welcome to the Douyin Influencer Campaign competition jointly organized by Douyin and Delta!"

"We've just finished three rounds of the main competition in Group A of Operation Red, and we've competed on three maps. Now, the asset rankings of each team are pretty much fixed."

"Of course, before we begin the fourth map, please allow us to bring you a live ranking report."

"You can see the left side of our screen."

"Currently ranked number one is still our Rat Assault Team. In the last game on the Baksh map, our Cucumber Captain's amazing move allowed them to easily steal 20.61M of assets!"

"This asset acquisition is truly astounding!"

"I believe no team or audience could have predicted that the Rat Rat Assault Team, with its overwhelming superior assets, could still gain such a high asset advantage without choosing to overpower the other five teams with superior equipment, and even with the same glass cannon."

"And now our Mouse Assault Team has a total of 41.81M in assets!!"
