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

The live stream chat exploded like fireworks.

"Hahaha, Tree Bro is awesome!"

"This jump will go down in history!"

"I saw Lü Ang's thumbs-up! Heroes admire heroes!"

"But from this moment on, Bruce had already lost the third inning..."

Yes. We lost.

Lu Ang put his mask back on, looked away, and calmly uttered two words in the team voice chat: "This game is over."

Haotian was taken aback for a moment: "Brother Ang, we can still—"

"The AW is gone." Lü Ang interrupted him, his voice flat, as if stating a simple fact. "Our only objective in this airdrop round was that AW. Tree jumped into the river, the gun sank, and the bullets sank too. Even if we wiped out everyone on the map for the rest of the time, we still wouldn't get what we wanted."

Nanbowan remained silent for a moment, then slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. He knew Lü Ang was right. From the very beginning, their strategic objective had been singular—the AWM and ten bullets in the nine-minute airdrop. Now that the airdrop was gone, even if they wiped out the entire map, they would only gain a few more kills and a few million more resources. This might be a gain for other teams, but for Bruce's squad, it wasn't enough.

Far from enough.

"So..." Haotian's voice was a little dry, "we're just going to play casually for the rest of this round?"

"Hit me however you want?" Lü Ang repeated those three words, then suddenly laughed. It wasn't the helpless laugh from before, but a sinister laugh that sent chills down the spines of both Haotian and Nanbowan. "No."

"Since some people would rather die than let us get the AW, then we can't let them die in vain."

He stretched his wrists and neck, his knuckles making a slight cracking sound. His fingers returned to the mouse and keyboard; those hands, which had been giving Lin Shu a thumbs-up just half a minute ago, were now covered with a cold, sharp edge once more.

"The remaining time—the hunt."

The moment those two words were uttered in the team's voice chat, Haotian felt a chill run down his spine.

Nanbowan didn't say anything. He simply silently replaced the magazine with a full one and switched Red Wolf's ultimate skill back to standby mode.

Then he spoke, his voice filled with a pent-up rage that had finally found an outlet: "Who should we kill first?"

Lu Ang opened the mini-map and glanced at the retreat route of the surviving troops from the earlier melee.

BSG ran towards the Babel Tower ocean area, the remnants of the Trident fled towards the reservoir, the Creeper was healing in the triple room, and MDY still had one flying sniper left whose whereabouts were unknown.

"Kill them all."

Five minutes later, in the ocean area of ​​Babel.

BSG's BBfps was fighting on the corner of the stairs when he suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps in his headset—not silent footsteps, but large footsteps, the kind of large footsteps that don't treat the opponent like a human being.

"Who?!" BBfps shouted instinctively. Just as he switched to his gun, the sound of rose petals shattering, a sound unique to Red Wolf after he activated his ultimate, rang in his ears!

Nanbowan slid out from the side of the stairs, unleashing a triple hand cannon barrage that fanned outwards, slamming into BBfps and Gloria S, who was pulling someone away beside him. The explosions shattered BBfps's armor instantly, and Gloria was blasted to the ground!

"Bruce!" BBfps roared, trying to retaliate, but before he could even raise his gun, Haotian had already set up his M14 above the stairs, unleashing a barrage of fire from above, bullets raining down on the two BSG members. BBfps's health was depleted in fractions of a second, his screen went black, and he didn't even have a chance to fall. Gloria followed closely behind, finishing him off with a swift and decisive shot.

Bruce and Nanbowan used hand cannons to knock down BSG and Gloria S.

Bruce and Haotian eliminated BSG and BBfps (team wipe) using the M14.

The entire BSG squad, from the start of the encounter to their annihilation, lasted less than fifteen seconds.

The live stream chat started buzzing: "Wait, wait, why is Bruce suddenly playing so aggressively?"

"Wasn't he just giving Tree Bro a thumbs-up? How did he turn into a killing machine the next second?"

"A squad wiped out in fifteen seconds... Is this even human?"

But BSG is just the beginning.

Two minutes later, in the reservoir area.

IG from Trident was squatting alone in a corner on the second floor of the water storage area. He had just pulled Mad98 up from the ground, and the two were taking turns applying medicine.

Their armor was shattered, and their health was down to just over half. They heard gunfire and knew something had happened at BSG, but what they didn't expect was that the attackers were twice as fast as they had anticipated.

"Two on the second floor of the water storage area." Haotian's voice rang out in the team voice chat, deep and calm. "They're both applying medicine; the armor isn't repaired yet."

"I'll do it," Lü Ang replied with just two words.

He charged straight up the side staircase on the first floor of the water tank, wielding his Uluru. No stealth, no gadgets, no probing. He just charged straight up. IG heard the footsteps, immediately canceled his healing spell, and deployed his M14 to the stairwell. His marksmanship was good, his aim precise; if Lü Ang dared to peek out, he could hit him at least twice—

Lü Ang didn't show himself. He simply stood up.

It wasn't peeking out, it wasn't dodging, it was jumping straight out of the stairwell!

IG's pupils contracted sharply, and his finger instinctively pressed the left mouse button—but Lü Ang's bullet was faster. In mid-air, the muzzle of the M14 was already firmly locked onto IG's head.

Three shots in quick succession: two to the head and one to the chest.

Bruce and Cucumber used M14s to take down Trident and IG.

Mad98 didn't even have time to cancel his healing spell. After landing, Lü Ang turned around and unleashed a second wave of recoil. The healing action was forcibly interrupted, and Mad98's health was like paper against the M14 bullets, instantly reduced to almost nothing.

Bruce and Cucumber used the M14 to eliminate Trident and Mad98 (wiping out the team).

From rushing up the stairs to wiping out the team, it took seven seconds.

"They're insane! Insane! Insane!" Old Black stood up in the commentary booth. "Bruce's team's rhythm has suddenly changed! One second they were showing mutual respect to Lin Shu, the next second they're like a powder keg that's been lit! First BSG wiped out in fifteen seconds, now they've swiftly killed the Trident duo in seven seconds! This isn't playing a game, this is taking revenge on society!"

Ah Cheng stared intently at the data panel, her voice trembling slightly: "Look at Lü Ang's kill efficiency—he used a hand cannon and a burst of recoil control in the BSG duo, and only used two magazines' worth of three-round bursts in the Trident duo! Every kill started with a headshot, not a single bullet was wasted! He's in such good form right now..."

"It's like they were completely enraged by Lin Shu's jump," Lao Hei continued.

Yes. Lin Shu jumped into the river not to win, but simply to prevent Lü Ang from getting the AW. He succeeded. But he also did something else—he completely awakened the dormant beast within Bruce's team of three.

The next map of Bakshi turned into a chase.

The Creeper was surrounded by Lü Ang and two others in the triple room. Yang Qijia did his best to replace half of Nanbo Wanxiao's armor, but the outcome was predictable - the team was wiped out.

MDY's last remaining sniper took cover in the pool area on the top floor of the Tower of Babel, using the terrain to hold out for two minutes. Finally, Haotian forced him out of cover with an incendiary grenade, and Lü Ang's loitering missile followed closely behind—wiping out the team.
