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

The official live stream room, the commentary booth.

"Alright everyone! Welcome to the live broadcast of the Delta Streamer Grand Finals! I'm Lao Hei!"

"I'm A-Cheng! Finally! After three weeks of fierce battles, we've reached the final showdown!" A-Cheng's voice was full of passion. "Six top teams will compete today to determine who is the true pinnacle streamer of Delta!"

Old Hei chimed in: "First round, Dam Zero, top-secret daytime gear for the tournament! Same rules as the semifinals, no Mandel bricks in the first round, but there's an airdrop! This airdrop will determine the equipment distribution for the rest of the match!"

"Check the respawn points first!" Ah Cheng stared intently at the big screen. "Visitor Center, position two: Bruce's team! West Building, position one: Tua the Dynamite! East Building, position one: Trident! Pipeline, position two: Creeper! Cement Plant construction site, position three: MDY! Small substation, position three: BSG!"

"The competition has officially begun!"

In-game.

Lü Ang took a deep breath.

It's the finals.

The champion's prize money, the system's mission rewards, and those twenty permanent attribute points are all right in front of me.

"Brothers," Lü Ang's voice was eerily calm in the team voice chat, "We'll play the same way we did in the semifinals."

"We must take the airdrop, and we must grab the AW."

Nanbowan, still wielding Uluru, said with a burning gaze, "I understand."

Haotian flexed his wrists, and Mai Xiaoshu was already in position: "Let's get started."

The three of them did not linger at the visitor center. Lü Ang's Red Wolf, Nanbowan's Uluru, and Haotian's Little Mouse, like three arrows released from a bow, headed straight for the administration building.

The journey was unusually quiet.

"Nobody here?" Haotian asked, somewhat surprised.

Lü Ang narrowed his eyes: "They're all hiding. They were scared after that defeat in the semifinals, and now, without information about who's down, no one dares to reveal themselves first."

"Then force them to come out."

The three arrived at the administration building parking lot at exactly five minutes past the hour.

"The airdrop will be available in sixty seconds," Nanbowan reminded.

Lü Ang glanced at the map: "Haotian, scan it."

Mai Xiaoshu activated his ultimate move. Pale blue detection ripples spread outwards from Haotian as the center.

"Three of them are in the rocket troop room over in the parking lot!" Haotian's spirits lifted.

But the next moment, the opposite side was like a swarm of bees that had been disturbed, and the props poured out in an instant - flashbangs, fragmentation grenades, and Red Wolf's triple hand cannon, which rained down on the three people's location!

"retreat!"

Lu Ang reacted first, and Red Wolf's smoke grenade flew out of his hand. The three of them quickly created distance under the cover of the smoke.

"It's not just one team." Haotian's eyelids twitched as he looked at the aftershocks of his ultimate attack. "There's also movement at the right-side wall-breaking mission point. At least two teams have sneaked over."

"They're just waiting for the airdrop," Nanbowan said through gritted teeth.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Lü Ang's lips.

The airdrop alarm sounded at that moment—to the left of the parking lot, in that deadly area with many intersections and few bunkers.

"Since everyone wants it, let's see who's tougher." Lü Ang's voice remained completely calm.

The sky was torn apart, and the airdrop capsule slowly descended, trailing a fiery tail.

The moment the hull touched down—the battle broke out.

"Knock knock knock—!"

The Trident team fired first. Master Dragon, wielding Old Black, landed two precise small bread rolls at the airdrop landing point, blocking the direct assault route. Mad98's Dragon immediately pulled out its jetpack, attempting to use firepower to suppress the enemy and seize the drop!

But as soon as he peeked out—in the distance, the MDY squad's flying sniper rifle was already set up with a PKM.

"Bang--!"

A series of precise recoil shots landed on Mad98's right shoulder! The bullets pierced through the armor, causing his health to drop by 60%!

"There's a dog! Back off! Back off!" Mad98 roared as it retreated to the shelter.

But this is just the beginning.

Six teams, eighteen people in total, were all crammed into an area less than fifty meters from the parking lot.

Bullets rained down like a storm. Red Wolf's hand cannons drew countless deadly arcs in the air; Uluru's loitering munitions whistled through the crowd and exploded; Little Mouse's flashbangs made the entire parking lot flicker between light and dark, as if the world was frantically switching between black and white.

The warning sounds of someone falling to the ground echoed repeatedly.

"MDY's thousand words have fallen!"

"BSG's water's down! Gloria's pulling!"

"The Worm-like scoundrels have been eliminated! They're gone!"

In the commentary booth, Old Black had already stood up, his voice hoarse: "This is too brutal! This isn't a battle for an airdrop, it's a meat grinder! In less than a minute, four are already down!"

Ah Cheng stared intently at the screen: "But Bruce's team hasn't moved yet! They're still behind the fence surrounding the parking lot!"

"They're waiting!" Old Hei exclaimed suddenly, "They're waiting for the other teams to wear each other down!"

"But the other teams aren't stupid either, they'll definitely—"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Shu from Dongba Tua suddenly turned his gun around and opened fire on the wall where Bruce's team was hiding!

"Clear Bruce first!" Lin Shu shouted in the voice chat.

He knew all too well. Letting Lü Ang live to the end would be the end for everyone.

In an instant, at least three teams simultaneously turned their guns toward the wall!

"I've been discovered!" Nanbowan's health was instantly reduced by more than half, and the durability of his level 4 armor was immediately reduced to zero. "I can't take this!"

"Back off, I'll use smoke!" Haotian immediately threw out two smoke grenades. But almost simultaneously, a Luna Probe Arrow from Trident's IG pierced through the smoke, clearly illuminating the silhouettes of the three!

"They're under my arrows!" IG shouted.

The bullets were fired more densely.

Lu Ang's health was also dropping rapidly. His level 4 armor was turning red, and his helmet was grazed by a ricocheting bullet, causing the edges of the screen to turn blood red.

But amidst this hellish barrage of fire, Lü Ang's gaze sharpened even more.

Right now.

The other five teams were completely thrown into disarray by focusing their fire on Bruce's squad.

"Brother Nan," Lü Ang's voice suddenly calmed down, "Wait for them to reload."

Nanbo was stunned, but his years of combat experience made him subconsciously count the gunshots from the other side.

Three seconds later—a gap of a fraction of a second appeared in the enemy's firepower.

Reload.

"superior!"

Lu Ang's red wolf moved.

It wasn't a retreat, nor a retreat. Instead, it was a perfectly executed slide tackle that met the trajectory of the enemy's projectiles head-on!

"What is he going to do?!" Old Black screamed.

Lü Ang didn't fire. He knew that firing at this moment would reveal his position. What he wanted wasn't to kill, but to establish his position.

Red Wolf's mobility was put to the ultimate use at this moment. He darted through the gaps in the cover like a venomous snake, moving between the smoke and firelight.

When he came to a stop again, he was already behind a trash can to the side and rear of the Trident team.

And this position is the blind spot for the other five teams, except for Bruce's team.

"Let's do it."

Haotian and Nanbowan both unleashed their attacks simultaneously!

Uluru's loitering munitions roared out, heading straight for the bunker where the BSG team was hiding!
