Delta Operation: Big Red Objects Mutate

"Honestly, I almost cried when you two were supporting each other at the end yesterday."

Liu Yan nodded; he also had a good impression of Fuji.

On their second meeting, he was willing to trust me, lend me equipment, and in the end, he didn't abandon me and leave alone.

Liu Yan's past experiences led him to subconsciously believe that most people in this world would abandon their teammates in order to protect their wealth.

After all, virtual currency in games often exposes the true nature of many people, let alone when it's converted into real cash.

“He is indeed a good person, but we didn’t support each other; he was the one dragging me along,” Liu Yan added.

As the two chatted, they arrived at the entrance to Longbow Valley.

The style is different from that of the entrance to Dam Zero.

The group of people at the entrance to Longbow Valley were almost all naked, with each of them carrying a sniper rifle on their back.

Compared to Dam Zero, Longbow Valley has a wider terrain and fewer bunkers, making it a true sniping paradise.

Moreover, helmets and armor offer little help against the high-grade ammunition used by sniper rifles.

At the same time, the heavy helmet armor reduces mobility, which is actually a disadvantage for sniper battles that require frequent flanking maneuvers.

This is also the main reason why people don't wear helmets and armor; of course, the mentality of taking a risk for a big reward plays a larger role.

"Over here." Liu Yan waved in the direction they came from, then turned to Zhao Chuang and introduced him:

"This is Fudge, nicknamed Chicken Bro. He has been training in the Third District for two and a half years."

Not far away, Fudge, carrying a large bag, was wailing with a look of resentment on his face.

"I give up, why didn't we meet up in the trading area?"

Upon approaching, Fudge placed the guns from his backpack in front of Liu Yan and his companion.

One R93 sniper rifle with a scope, and two partially modified Warrior submachine guns.

In addition, there are three chest-mounted backpacks and three sets of medicine.

"Here's the sniper rifle you wanted, and the scope is a 6/12x variable magnification." Fudge handed the R93 sniper rifle to Liu Yan.

After taking one last, reluctant look at the golden-glowing level 5 bullet, Fudge tossed it to Liu Yan.

"And the level 5 bullets you wanted, only 10 rounds, use them sparingly, they're ridiculously expensive!"

Then, Fudge picked up a half-modified Warrior submachine gun and handed it to Zhao Chuang.

"Brother, what's your name?" Fuji squatted on the ground, looked up, and politely asked Zhao Chuang.

Zhao Chuang took the Warrior submachine gun handed to him, patted his chest, and replied:

"Brother Chicken, you are truly kind and righteous. Just call me Zhao Chuang."

After hearing this, Fudge waved his hand modestly and said:

"Your accent is quite strong too. Just call me Fudge, no need to call me brother."

After the three of them divided up their equipment, they hugged each other and headed together toward the entrance to the ordinary Longbow Valley.

Buzz buzz————

After entering the portal, the three of them appeared simultaneously on the helicopter.

Inside the helicopter, the same monotonous announcement rang out again.

"We are about to land. Let's reconfirm our operational objectives and remember the upcoming arrangements..."

This time, Liu Yan finally couldn't hold back anymore.

In the game, every time I enter the game and am on a helicopter, I can still understand the tired, overused dialogue.

But why does this happen every time in reality?

With this question in mind, Liu Yan turned to look at Fuji and asked:

"Brother Chicken, do you know why we're always on a plane when we enter Zone 3? And why does this phrase always play?"

As he spoke, Liu Yan pointed to the top of his head.

Fudge was taken aback at first, as if he hadn't expected Liu Yan to ask such a question. After a moment of thought, Fudge spoke:

"In a sense, the Third District is not part of this world."

"When we enter the third district, it's like stepping into another world."

After hearing this nonsense, Liu Yan wore a speechless expression.

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I asked, does it?"

Fudge shook his head.

"Yes, it's related. Every time we enter the world of the Third District, it's a fixed timeline, which is basically a repetition."

"It's like the protagonist of a movie who wakes up again at a fixed time after midnight or after death."

Hearing this, Liu Yan roughly understood, but still raised another question:

"If it's repetitive, why are the objects I touch different each time in the same place?"

"And we land in different locations each time."

Fudge scratched his head, tried hard to remember, and then said:

"That's right, there are countless worlds like this, but the time is always the same."

Liu Yan paused for a moment, then asked suspiciously:

"How do you know this?"

Fudge wore a smug expression.

"That's what the experts in the news said, of course!"

After listening, Zhao Chuang immediately added:

"Yes, yes, I've seen it too. That expert with the crooked neck is named Huo Yin!"

"Brother Yan, don't you usually watch the news?"

Upon hearing Fudge's last sentence, Liu Yan felt that everything he had heard before had been for nothing.

And what the hell is Huo Yin doing, talking to me about Golden Horn and Silver Horn?

Chapter 20 First Attempt at Sniping

Just as the three were talking, outside the helicopter window, a passenger plane engulfed in flames was rapidly crashing toward the ground!

Liu Yan recognized the scene at a glance; it was the plane crash in Chang Gong Valley!

There is a high probability that a six-segment red recorder, also known as a black box, worth nearly 300 million, can be found inside the aircraft.

At that moment, the helicopter door opened and the ropes were lowered to the ground, as if urging the three to land as soon as possible.

"Let's go, let's see where this round is headed."

Liu Yan was the first to disembark from the helicopter, followed closely by Fuji Zhao Chuang.

After landing, Liu Yan glanced around as usual and waved to a spot in the void.

"What are you doing?" Fudge asked, puzzled.

"Greet the viewers in the live stream."

...

In the classroom

"Holy crap, even Yan Shen isn't acting anymore!"

"Haha, he's already treating the third district as his own live streaming room."

"Speaking of which, I'm kind of looking forward to Yan Shen sniping."

...

Longbow Valley

I don't know whether to call it luck or bad luck.

The three players spawned at Sandpath Ranch in this round.

The advantage is that a plane crash occurred in this game, and this location is not far from the crash site.

The downside is that this location is practically a chosen spot to get punched!

Go up to the old site of Galbi and the small estate.

We went down to the hay storage area, which was also part of the Sandpath Ranch, as well as the crash site, location number one, and the checkpoint.

The entire left half of the respawn point perfectly surrounds the location where Liu Yan and his two companions are.

Longbow Valley's map is wide enough that there are almost no prison sites like those at space bases.

But this location is definitely one of the biggest strongholds in Longbow Valley!

"Brother Yan, what do you mean? Where are we going?" Zhao Chuang turned to look at Liu Yan.

Fuji also looked at Liu Yan.

After careful consideration, Liu Yan made a relatively safe choice.

"Advanced housing area".

Zhao Chuang and his companion nodded and followed Liu Yan into the housing area.

piU—————!

Just a second before the three entered the building area, the sound of a silenced sniper rifle rang out.

A clear bullet mark appeared on the wall of the house.

"Damn, someone's already sniping at us as soon as we came in?!" Zhao Chuang was startled by the sound.

He was the last one to enter the building area, and that shot was aimed at him.

"This private location certainly didn't disappoint me," Liu Yan said with a helpless smile.

There are two reasons why we chose to enter the housing area.

First, once the three set off towards the crash site, there would be almost no cover along the way.

Regardless of which of the six respawn points around them spawned new players, the three of them were always caught in the middle and attacked.

Secondly, even if the journey is smooth and they successfully reach the crash site and take refuge inside the plane, they will be in an even more passive position.

As the saying goes, it's easy to get in, but hard to get out.

At that time, we will not know where the enemy will be positioned.

"You two keep an eye on the haystacks behind the ranch."

"If I get killed in a moment, pull me up immediately."

After giving instructions to the two men, Liu Yan set up his sniper rifle and aimed through the wooden planks in the window at the old site of Garbi.

Looking across the sniper scope, Liu Yan realized just how big the magnified Longbow Valley really was!

That makes sense, how could a valley in real life be only as big as the one in the game?

Liu Yan roughly deduced that the distance from here to the site of Galbi alone was already close to 300 meters!

"No wonder that shot came a little late."

Thinking about this, Liu Yan felt even more troubled.

Having never used a sniper rifle before, at this distance, one has to consider not only wind speed and air humidity.

But there was no better way at the moment, so Liu Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to master it.

Click—snap—

After a crisp click of the bolt being pulled, the bullet was chambered.

To be honest, you only know how satisfying it is to actually experience it firsthand.

Through the scope, Liu Yan spotted two enemies, one of whom was crouching on the rooftop above the old Garbi site.
