...
Meanwhile, at the mountaintop.
The battle has reached a fever pitch.
On the battlefield, which consisted of rubble and bushes, there were fresh craters and splashes of blue paint everywhere.
Qiao Lin and Du Jinshan's team were indeed formidable; their teamwork was flawless. Du Jinshan, with his steady marksmanship, was responsible for precise suppression, while Qiao Lin, with her ruthlessness and agility, specialized in assaults. Just now, they had joined forces to wipe out two other teams that were also trying to capture the flag, seizing two green flags.
At this moment, it seemed that there were no other living people on the mountaintop besides them.
That bright red flag was planted on a huge rock at the highest point of the mountain, fluttering in the howling mountain wind, exuding a deadly allure.
"Du Jinshan! The field is cleared. You cover me! I'll go get the flag!" Qiao Lin's breathing became rapid due to the intense running and excitement. Her eyes shone with a determined and burning light, as if she could already see herself taking first place and receiving everyone's envious gaze.
If they get this flag, they'll get fifty points! They'll instantly be far ahead! First place is theirs for the taking!
"Be careful! It's too open here!" Du Jinshan, gun at the ready, warily scanned the surrounding rocks and bushes. His extensive experience told him that something was amiss. It was too calm, unnaturally calm.
But Qiao Lin's desire for victory had clouded her judgment, and she wouldn't listen to Du Jinshan's advice.
"What are you afraid of! We've already driven them away! If we wait any longer, others will catch up!"
She urged him impatiently, then crouched down and rushed toward the boulder as fast as she could.
Fifty meters, thirty meters, ten meters!
It's getting closer! She can even see the rough splinters on the flagpole!
Her fingertips stretched forward, less than twenty centimeters from the flagpole!
Victory is within reach!
However, at this very moment!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As if by prior arrangement, gunshots rang out simultaneously from at least three directions: the rear side of the mountaintop, the left flank, and the right flank!
Five tongues of fire spewed out from behind different bunkers, forming an impenetrable crossfire network that instantly covered the area where Joe and Du were located!
Bullets rained down like a storm, whistling sharply as they struck the rocks and ground around them, kicking up clouds of dust and blue paint.
A bullet flew past Qiao Lin's scalp almost grazing her skin, the blast of air making her hair stand on end!
"Take cover! There's an ambush!" Du Jinshan roared, his eyes bloodshot, as he performed a tactical roll and leaped towards a crevice in the rocks.
Qiao Lin was completely stunned by this sudden and devastating blow.
Her mind went blank, leaving only the sharp whistling sound of the bullet whizzing past her ear. She tried to move, but her legs felt like lead and wouldn't obey her commands. She could only lie on the ground in a panic, not daring to lift her head.
how so?
How could there be an ambush? They were already being very careful! When did these people sneak up here?
"Qiao Lin! You bitch! You didn't expect this, did you!"
A roar filled with resentment and glee came from a bush to the side and behind.
Qiao Lin turned her head stiffly and saw that face she would never forget.
It's Li Yue!
At this moment, Li Yue was no longer the obsequious and sycophantic woman she once was. Her face was covered in mud, her eyes burned with the flames of revenge, and the rifle in her hand was steadily pointed at Qiao Lin, who was completely exposed to her gun due to panic.
“It’s you…” Qiao Lin’s lips trembled, her face full of disbelief.
She never imagined that this former teammate, whom she had discarded like trash, whom she considered useless and a burden, would be waiting for her here.
"Yes, it was me!" Li Yue said through gritted teeth. The thought of being abandoned and forced to team up with that good-for-nothing Liu Dafu, enduring endless scorn and ridicule, made her hatred erupt like a volcano.
"When you kicked me aside without hesitation to curry favor with the powerful, did you ever think about this day?"
