What happens when Chen Yuxuan has a sniper rifle in hand, and the enemy is within her firing range?
They can't show their heads...
They absolutely cannot show their heads!
Chang Wenhao truly understood now how vast the gap between them was.
Back during the Resident Evil competition, their Chang Xu Strategy Group and Jiu Xuan Raiders Group were neck and neck, both among the top three strategy groups, with no such large disparity.
Yet, after such a period of time, the opponent's strength had become so formidable...
The difference in strength between Adventurer is reflected in various micro-operations, wisdom, and reaction abilities, none of which are granted by a Dungeon, but rather are true strengths ingrained in their genes.
Chen Yuxuan's own strength was not weak, and she had been playing as a sniper for much longer than them.
This display of strength made the entire Phantom Shadow Squad feel despair.
It was laughable, really; now, their only three remaining members were cornered in this house by one person.
Outside was so vast and open, with no enemy shadows in sight, yet...
They just couldn't take a single step out.
As soon as the thought of showing his head crossed his mind, Han Ying, the captain of the Phantom Shadow Squad, felt an immense danger, as if stepping out would instantly lead to him being targeted and killed by a sniper rifle.
He couldn't tell if he was scaring himself or if it was truly the case.
Anyway, it was as if a sword hung over his head in the darkness; as soon as he stepped out of this door, the sword would fall and kill him.
In the end, these three people didn't even know if Chen Yuxuan had left.
Nor did they know where Chen Yuxuan was at that moment.
They just stayed there, watching the adventurer death messages constantly flash across the system's kill feed.
"Black Horse has been wiped out."
Han Ying, hidden in a corner, said gloomily, "Crimson Flame Squad is also gone. Can Tidal Squad really defeat an entire team with just one person?"
"Not one person..."
Chang Wenhao tried to boost morale, "There's also the Deep Sea Squad's cannon fodder. I remember there was still a Deep Sea Squad member with us, who parachuted into this area, but... why are they gone?"
"Perhaps they felt they weren't needed anymore!"
Han Ying said such a despondent thing for the first time. Being suppressed and beaten like this hurt his pride, and he couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh:
"Are all the people from your Tidal Town this strong? With this level of strength, perhaps only those legendary Contract Adventurer from our city who permanently reside in the Dark World, upon their return, would have a chance to fight!"
Every region has such Contract Adventurer.
These Contract Adventurer can be said to be the strongest Adventurer of each period, chosen by the Dungeon Lord to go to the Dark World and live or die together.
They sign contracts and generally only stay in the Dark World, returning only for major events.
For this competition, Ma Lingzhi had originally considered bringing back some legendary Contract Adventurer to jointly suppress the Tidal Squad, but later he thought that with 10 teams against one, there simply couldn't be any unexpected outcomes.
So he didn't do that.
However, he never expected... the situation to develop to this extent, where it was already impossible to salvage.
Calling Contract Adventurer back now would just be a pure joke.
Moreover, Contract Adventurer haven't had contact with firearms and would have to be trained from scratch, which would actually be less effective.
"Alright, let's go out!"
Han Ying suddenly stood up.
Seeing the confused looks from Chang Wenhao and the other teammate, he gave a bitter smile.
"There's no point in dragging this out any further. The poison circle has already shrunk and isn't on our side. Either we go out and fight, or we die here from the poison."
"I'll go attract the first shot."
Chang Wenhao stood up and walked to the front.
During the Resident Evil competition, they had turtled for an entire game, and now, they didn't want to die last again.
The door opened.
Chang Wenhao threw out a smoke grenade and crawled forward, attempting to move to the other side of the area using this method.
As long as they could leave the range of this house, they could form a triangular formation and counterattack.
However, Chen Yuxuan had seen such tricks many times, and relying on her sniper's intuition, the crosshairs were already aimed at the doorway.
Bang!
Clean and decisive, one shot instantly killed Chang Wenhao, who had just crawled out.
After firing the shot, Chen Yuxuan immediately changed positions, moving to another sniping spot.
The very next second after she left, bullets landed at her previous position, making clanging sounds.
Han Ying had originally intended to use this opportunity to kill Chen Yuxuan.
However, what he didn't expect was that his own bullets exposed his position. Even though he changed positions very quickly, a faint shadow was still caught.
The 8x scope followed this shadow all the way to Han Ying's next possible sniping spot.
Chen Yuxuan's lips curved slightly.
Han Ying didn't even appear in the line of sight of that sniping spot; the camera only showed a slight rustle of grass, and Chen Yuxuan had already confirmed his position, firing a sniper shot.
【System Announcement: "Tidal - Chen Yuxuan" eliminated "Phantom Shadow - Han Ying".】
This operation caused an uproar among the outside audience.
They stood up in shock.
"Holy cow, is that a no-scope?"
"There was nothing in that scope! How did she know Han Ying was there? Just because he accidentally stepped on a blade of grass, she could determine Han Ying's position?"
"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable."
Han Ying was killed, and the last remaining member of the Phantom Shadow Squad also lost the will to fight.
He frantically tried to escape the place.
Ultimately, he was taken out with one shot.
The Phantom Shadow Squad was wiped out, a record that shocked all observers.
They couldn't help but exclaim that when the Tidal Squad was together, they could easily defeat 10 teams, and even when separated, they could each reign supreme. Their strength was truly terrifying.
The final camera shot went to Li Ruoshu.
She was currently leisurely following the Night Owl Squad, neither getting too close nor too far.
She maintained this elusive distance.
This made the Night Owl Squad feel like they had daggers at their backs. They had tried to attack Li Ruoshu, but it had no effect whatsoever.
They couldn't hit her.
They couldn't catch up to her.
They couldn't escape her.
Li Ruoshu just watched them pick up equipment along the way.
This made Yu Ye feel incredibly stifled inside. The opponent was like a cat, and they were like a group of mice, constantly being toyed with.
This sense of powerlessness filled his chest.
It was as if there was some unvented anger inside him, with no place to release it.
