“I'm going to blast you away!”
Inside the hotel, the boss let out a soul-shaking roar.
Wang Yuhao stared intently at the screen on his phone, not daring to blink.
That's right, he was playing the world's only FPS masterpiece—Delta Operation.
Having played for more than ten hours straight, he didn't feel tired at all, which was also due to the years of electronic military service he had served.
From 2013 to 2015, he served in the crossing fire Junior Shooting Academy.
From 2016 to 2017, he served in the Counter-Strike Elite Combat Unit.
From 2018 to 2019, he served in the crossing fire Biochemical Quick Response Unit.
From 2020 to 2021, he served in the Peace Elite Special Forces.
From 2021 to 2022, he served in the CS: GO Global Counter-Terrorism Special Offensive Operations Team.
From 2022 to 2023, he served in the Valorant Source Energy Special Operations Training Camp.
And now in 2024, he has successfully marched into Delta.
The treasure hunting gameplay of the Delta Battlefield mode captivated him, making him unable to extricate himself.
Actually, it wasn't his first time playing this type of FPS treasure hunting game. When Dark Zone Breakout was launched before, he also prepared to join with great interest, but as the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Wang Yuhao, with his clumsy hands, simply couldn't adapt to the hardcore gameplay unique to Dark Zone. A good gaming experience only existed in the first few welfare matches; after that, he was constantly abused, dying upon landing.
In fact, if he had died every time in a gunfight with someone else, it wouldn't have been too much of a loss; at least it could be considered a defeat in a contest, not shameful.
But, there was a type of special player in Dark Zone with incredibly strong psychological fortitude.
They never engaged in gunfights with you; they just crouched in various unexpected corners, quietly waiting to deliver a big surprise to you as you passed by.
Perhaps your teammates wouldn't wait for you at the extraction point, but these notorious Kamona Rats would.
The gradually increasing pressure of matches, the worsening game environment, and the omnipresent rat people slowly eroded Wang Yuhao's confidence, and an intense sense of frustration arose.
With a feeling of loss and regret, Wang Yuhao ultimately chose to quit Dark Zone.
Perhaps it wasn't that the game was bad, but simply that he was too unskilled.
This time, when he started playing Delta, he originally only had a try-it-and-see attitude, but he didn't expect to become so immersed, his emotions completely invested, as if the virtual items in the warehouse were his own assets. He was reluctant to buy or spend, and most matches he just ran with a knife, stripping helmets, armor, and firearms from AI bots. He even put a few bottles of medicine in his secure container, afraid of losing anything.
Of course, at first, Wang Yuhao also looked down on knife runners, thinking that these guys were freeloading off normal players' equipment, cheap and pathetic.
However, after he geared up with five-piece sets a few times and played normally, only to be stripped clean by others, he became honest. Because the taste of bankruptcy was truly too difficult to bear, running with a knife was much better!
Now, the Wei Long character he controlled was cowering in the King's Room bathroom of the hotel, carefully listening to the movements outside the door.
Logically, as a glorious knife runner, he shouldn't be so cautious; after all, rushing out and fighting wouldn't result in much loss.
But, he didn't think that way now. Because, just now in the key room, he had picked up a high-value red item for the first time in his life!
A Resuscitation Ventilator, a full 2.8 million! 2.8 million!
You should know that the King's Room key card for the hotel was only 2.3 million. As long as he could bring this thing back, the expensive key card he had invested heavily in would immediately pay for itself, and he could even net 500,000!
Thinking of this, Wang Yuhao couldn't help but shiver, because this was his first time getting a red item worth over a million. The King's Card he had resolved to buy, which had cost a fortune, had disappointed him several times.
The safe contained either ox horns or dancing ladies, or silver coins and pirate telescopes. The best he ever got was two wine glasses.
And that was from confidential mode.
And now, as a knife runner, he had actually opened a T1 level red item in regular mode. How could he not be excited?!
Excited heart, trembling hands. He retreated further into the bathroom, gripping the CAR-15 automatic rifle in his hand, staring intently at the closed bathroom door.
Closer… The footsteps were closer. Amidst the noisy music, the footsteps grew closer and closer, accompanied by the demonic roar of Reis, the boss: “You’re too clever for your own good!”
Then, the King's Room door was kicked open with a bang, followed by three violent gunshots.
It was the S-12K shotgun in Reis's hand.
Wang Yuhao felt the screen becoming somewhat slippery. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was due to the sweat on his hands from nervousness. He quickly wiped his hands on the blanket, then changed to a side-lying position, but suddenly realized the charger cable wasn't long enough, so he gave up, quickly unplugged the charging cable, and lay on the bed, pondering a strategy.
The boss had already brought his leader guards into the King's Room. It probably wouldn't be long before he passed through the corridor, entered the bedroom, and finally searched the bathroom. If he didn't find a way to move, he would definitely die here. If the boss really brought his men to search the bathroom...
Let alone a knife runner with this set of AI equipment, even a big boss with six-tier headwear, six-tier armor, and fully modified guns couldn't withstand one of the boss's sexy elbow strikes; that was 320 points of true damage! It was no joke.
However, the King's Room only had one door; to get out, he had to pass the boss, and the windows were all half-windows, impossible to jump out of. Putting it in the secure container also wouldn't work; the Resuscitation Ventilator took up 9 slots, and he, having only bought the battle pass, only had a 6-slot secure container, so it simply wouldn't fit.
What to do? Could it be that the first red item he found couldn't be taken out? This was 2.8 million, 2.8 million! How many knife runs would he have to do to earn 2.8 million?
Rather than being elbowed to death by the boss, it would be better to take a chance. Anyway, he was still far away, so the boss's close-combat advantage couldn't be exploited.
Thinking of this, for the honor of being a Special Operations Agent, for eliminating the wicked Reis for the people, and for the hard-won red item, Wang Yuhao decided to take a gamble.
He took out 60 rounds of long-treasured 5.56mm level four bullets from his secure container, put them in his chest rig, reloaded his CAR-15 automatic rifle, then pushed open the bathroom door, crouched at the bedroom entrance, and peeked out, aiming at the King's Room sitting area at the other end of the long corridor.
What met his eyes were the backs of two leader guards. They were holding their guns and searching around, with no intention of turning back for now.
Good opportunity...
Wang Yuhao silently thought to himself, aiming his crosshairs at the head of one of the guards.
With two faint 'biu biu' sounds, that guard fell to the ground, turning into a box.
The other guard hadn't noticed his companion's demise and was still meticulously checking the sofa in the sitting area with his gun raised.
This successful ambush was mainly due to the Dead Silence Suppressor Wang Yuhao had just found in the weapon crate. Its extremely powerful sound suppression made it almost completely silent, with no possibility of revealing the shooter's position.
Wang Yuhao slightly adjusted his aim and, following the same method, eliminated the other leader guard, and used this window of opportunity to quickly change magazines.
Meanwhile, Reis, who was at the safe in the sitting area, also noticed something was wrong and turned around, nearly dropping his sunglasses in shock.
Damn! No, wait, why are all my subordinates just boxes now?
The King's Room door was closed, and the corridor windows were intact. The intruder couldn't have ambushed his subordinates from outside the door. There was only one possibility: the King's Room bedroom at the end of the corridor!
He tilted his head and ordered the Shield Soldier next to him: “There's movement in the bedroom. Go check it out!”
“Yes!”
The Shield Soldier received the order and quickly raised his shield towards the bedroom, cautiously entering the corridor.
