◎Rooftop Ambush◎

So, Ji Zhou came to the designated combat position and threw several grenades and gunpowder bags without hesitation, directly hitting the core area on the second floor.

Immediately afterwards, a series of deafening explosions sounded, and the second floor was instantly engulfed in flames and smoke.

Yan Lan and three other teammates had already been waiting at the stairwell, their breath held, awaiting the decisive moment. When the explosion sounded as expected, they took advantage of the enemy's confusion and rushed to the second floor like a tiger descending a mountain.

The scene on the second floor was horrific, with heavy casualties among both humans and aircraft. Some wailed and hugged their injured limbs, while others were on fire and rolled on the ground in pain, trying to put out the merciless flames.

The entire floor was in chaos. Faced with the sudden attack from Yan Lan and others, they had no power to fight back and could only watch as the smoking muzzle of the gun was pressed against their foreheads.

Relying on this clever tactic of first suppressing the enemy with firepower and then engaging in close combat, they were unstoppable and advanced rapidly all the way, successfully occupying the third and even fourth floors of the villa.

Whenever a robot is killed, its body disappears within a few seconds, transforming into a supply bag scattered on the ground.

Today, the villa is filled with such supply packages, the number of which is staggering.

As the sky gradually brightened, everyone was exhausted after several hours of fierce fighting. They casually licked a few supply bags to replenish their ammunition, then found a room on the second floor and walked in.

"Huh, I can finally take a break!"

Shi Yuanyuan let out a long breath, walked to the empty bed in the room first, and lay down on it without hesitation.

Seeing this, others followed suit, each found a bed to lie down on, closed their eyes, and enjoyed this rare tranquility and relaxation.

This room is probably a dormitory for humans and machines to rest. Six bunk beds are arranged neatly and orderly, and there is a shared table in the middle of the dormitory.

For the five of them, Yan Lan had more than enough space. It seemed unusually spacious, even luxurious. After all, since entering the competition, they hadn't felt the pleasure of sleeping alone in a bed for a long time.

Especially Ji Zhou. When they lived in the capsule, the space was so cramped that the only bed was reserved for women, so he had to sleep on a hard chair. Only those who had experienced it could understand the feeling.

After a short break of half an hour, everyone's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and they each opened the game panel to pay attention to the latest updates and battle progress of other players.

"Look everyone, our team's ranking has climbed to second place!" Shi Yuanyuan shouted excitedly.

When everyone heard about it, they rushed to the world channel to check it out.

It turned out that the system had automatically updated the rankings since they entered the competition venue, but they had been busy with various battles and had not been able to check it in time.

In addition to them, many teams also entered this competition. It seems that they missed a lot of news yesterday.

“——Ding Dong.”

Just as everyone was immersed in posting, a crisp prompt sound suddenly came from the system panel. Everyone turned their attention to Yan Lan, because she had received the message.

Yan Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling a little strange. Since she entered this game, she hadn't received any news from other players for a long time, and today was the first time.

When I clicked on it, I saw it was a message from Lu Xiaokui.

Lu Xiaokui first posted a group photo of their team. The six people in the photo were all familiar faces, but they looked particularly tired. The background was a dim basement. It was obvious that they were still trapped in the first game.

Lu Xiaokui's words danced across the screen, carrying her unique liveliness and optimism: "Hey, good morning, Yan Lan! Were you amused by our 'battle-damaged' photo?"

Yan Lan's lips curled up unconsciously. She had roughly guessed Lu Xiaokui's intention, so she replied directly and sincerely: "Are you having any problems?"

"Haha, I knew you were straightforward!" Lu Xiaokui replied quickly, "You guys have already successfully passed the first round, right? That's amazing!"

"We're stuck at the last stage of synthesizing the radio, and we can't find the signal receiver. So, I'd like to ask where you found it? Of course, we wouldn't ask for clues for nothing. In exchange, when I return, I'll give you all my class drops for the week. How about that?"

Yan Lan nodded secretly in her heart. She knew Lu Xiaokui's character and knew that she would not ask for help easily. Since she asked, it must have been after careful consideration.

And they have obviously been closely following the developments of each team, including the news of their own team's clearance.

If they came asking for clues right after their team cleared a level, she might offer her help, but she'd inevitably feel a little unhappy. After all, these clues were obtained through untold hardships, and handing them over easily might sow the seeds of being surpassed in future competitions.

But they did not ask immediately. Instead, they chose to wait for a day, waiting for the gap between the two teams to be widened by other participating players before asking. She admired their calmness.

Yan Lan had to look at her with new eyes. She quickly replied after getting the information from Ji Zhou, "Of course, no problem. Ji Zhou found the signal receiver in a hidden warehouse in an abandoned chemical plant. Ji Zhou said he couldn't remember the exact location, but there were a lot of old machines and piles of supplies there. You should be able to find it if you look carefully."

Lu Xiaokui's message came again, and the words were full of gratitude: "Fuck, that signal receiver was hidden so secretly, no wonder we couldn't find it after searching for so long! Yan Lan, you are really our savior, thank you so much! By the way, thank Ji Zhou for me!"

Yan Lan smiled and gave a few kind reminders: "It's quite dangerous over there, you must be very careful. I wish you good luck and a quick clearance!"

Lu Xiaokui quickly responded, "Yes, we will pay attention. Yan Lan, take care of yourself too. I hope you can pass the level and take first place soon!"

Yan Lan closed the system panel. First of all, she needed to work harder.

Half an hour later, after a short break, they all got up and started to eat breakfast.

Breakfast was still mooncakes, but the remaining mooncakes were not as big as at the beginning. However, it was a blessing to have food to replenish. After everyone shared the meal, their health points were restored to the full 100 points.

"Burp~" Shi Yuanyuan burped exaggeratedly, and the mooncake in his hand disappeared. He picked up the Coke beside him and took a big gulp. Then he threw the empty Coke bottle towards the chandelier above his head and sighed, "This feeling of being full and satisfied is simply a great pleasure in the world!"

Yan Lan's gaze followed the Coke bottle thrown by Shi Yuanyuan, and when she looked at the ceiling above her head, she suddenly had an idea.

He suggested, "We haven't been to the rooftop yet, why don't we go take a look?"

When Shi Yuanyuan heard this, he immediately remembered the game he had played before. He stood up excitedly and echoed loudly, "Yes, yes, yes, we must go to the rooftop! I tell you, usually those important supplies are hidden on the rooftop!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhou looked at him doubtfully and asked in a teasing tone, "Oh? Is that true?"

Shi Yuanyuan couldn't stand being provoked and questioned, so he quickly walked towards the door and said, "If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. There's definitely a treasure upstairs."

After saying that, he strode towards the door, looking eager to verify his statement.

Just as he was about to step out of the room, Ji Zhou's voice came from behind him, with a light reminder: "Be careful, don't get discovered by the human-machine on the other side."

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, which instantly extinguished Shi Yuanyuan's high spirits. He suddenly stopped and his body shook involuntarily, as if he had instantly turned from a big rooster with his head held high into a timid little chicken. This scene caused his teammates behind him to laugh.

Outside this room is the living room on the second floor. The living room has several windows, and people in the building next door can see over through the windows.

Shi Yuanyuan retreated to the back of the team. Led by Ji Zhou, they carefully avoided the sight of the neighboring building and came to the rooftop.

The rooftop was very ordinary, with an unpainted cement floor and a simple low guardrail. When Yan Lan saw this cement floor, she thought of the scene of drying grain in the countryside.

"I told you, there really are supplies there!" Shi Yuanyuan stood at the stairs, pointing excitedly at the colorful supply box in the middle of the rooftop.

This supply box was completely different from the supply packs they had seen before. It had bright colors and a heavy wooden shell, and it was obvious that it contained something unusual.

Victory was within their reach, but they couldn't just go over because a group of robots on the rooftop next door were staring at them intently, ready to attack at any moment. Furthermore, the tempting supply box was incredibly heavy, and any carelessness in carrying it could make it a target for the enemy.

"Cousin, tell me how to kill them!" Shi Yuanyuan looked at the supply box and was eager to try.

Ji Zhou held the sniper rifle equipped with a zoom scope and scanned the top floors opposite one by one: "No rush, wait until they show up."

He carefully observed the location of the rooftop, cleverly went around to the small room connecting the rooftop to the stairs, lay on the sloping roof, set up the sniper rifle, occupied a supreme overlooking position, and accurately aimed at the enemy opposite.

Yan Lan, Shi Yuanyuan and other team members were scattered around the rooftop, each finding a hidden spot and lying in ambush quietly.

There are many people on the opposite side. In this situation, patience is more important than impulsiveness.

This was a contest that tested endurance. Yan Lan and her team showed amazing perseverance. Even when they lay on the ground motionless for a long time, they did not slack off at all.

However, those human-machines, having not noticed any movement on the other side for a long time, began to mistakenly believe that the people on the other side had left according to their own logical programs, so they gradually relaxed their vigilance and resumed their activities.

As soon as they showed their heads, bullets from this side would spray over them.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, after holding on for two hours, all the people and machines on the opposite rooftop were killed.

Yan Lan and the others immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and quickly moved the heavy colorful box of supplies into the room.

"Let me see what's in here!"

Shi Yuanyuan couldn't contain his excitement and quickly opened the box, displaying the items inside to everyone one by one.
