The young woman lying in the game compartment slowly opened her eyes with a look of confusion on her expression.

Although she is not a "peerless beauty", her appearance is still somewhat similar to the beautiful "Valkyrie" in the game. Without makeup, she looked much haggard at this time than when she was interviewed by reporters. His hair was piled up in a mess on the back of the chair behind him, and crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes.

She opened her mouth and exhaled, using the green light in the cabin to observe the situation around her.

"I ...... Just now...... Finally...... How to ......"

She reached out to untie the belt that held her body in place in the game compartment, and frowned as she thought back to everything that had happened before:

She still remembers that she was just as "Valkyrie", crawling on the battlefield covered with blood plasma with a sniper rifle in hand, trying to snipe the "Burning Demon" hidden in the hospital.

And then...... That's the end of the game.

- Is that the missile?

The Valkyrie, who was lurking in the open space in front of the hospital, naturally saw the missile that exploded in the air, but the location of the missile explosion was several kilometers away from her, and it stands to reason that it should not affect herself...... That's right.

"Burning Demon, you bastard—"

Valkyrie clenched her right fist and hammered hard against the cold metal armrest of the chaise longue, only to hear the sound of "bell", she hugged her right hand and whimpered:

"Pain, pain, pain, pain......"

A trace of tears appeared in the corners of Valkyrie's eyes, I don't know if it was because of the pain or because of the defeat just now. Originally, she was still skeptical about the legend of "Burning Demon", but after this invitational tournament, she finally fully understood the reason why the player was feared.

- If there was a next time, she would never provoke someone like the Burning Demon.

But no matter how much she regrets it, as the favorite to win the championship that many people are expecting, Valkyrie's journey in the first invitational tournament ends here.

……

"What the hell, and this kind of operation?"

Originally thought that he would see the information that the Burning Demon had been killed, but what popped up was the death message of the Valkyrie, Lin Chi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Obviously, the Valkyrie should have been lurking nearby, ready to do something to the "Burning Demon", and then died under the aura that the guy came with. Although he failed to kill the most dangerous Burning Demon, it was an unexpected gain to deal with the Valkyrie.

After the fall of "Valkyrie", there were only thirteen players left in this game, and the battle could be said to have entered the late stages.

Of course, now is undoubtedly a good opportunity for those players who don't like to fight, but want to "make a fortune in silence".

With fewer surviving players, it's now much less likely to encounter other players when rescuing hostages and capturing strategic locations.

Lin Chi opened the map and noticed that the seven strategic locations on the map were all occupied, and several of them were already about to arrive at three hours.

In addition to the mercenary hospital, the nearest strategic location to him was also five kilometers away, and Lin Chi, who had just experienced a series of battles, had no intention of grabbing territory from other players now. Instead, they intend to earn points through other methods. For example......

"Look for information on any hostages nearby." He nodded to Woods.

"Framed again?" Woods rubbed his hands.

"This time it's a serious hostage rescue, not a frame-up thank you." Lin Chi corrected the content of Woods's words.

- As long as you save a hostage, you can get a little point, although it is not so easy to rescue the hostage, but there are not many players left in the city now, and most of them are occupying strategic locations, so they can't easily get out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to rescue the hostages without anyone disturbing them is obviously a good choice. In addition, Lin Chi was also very interested in the information about "military stimulants" that he had just gotten in the hospital.

After leaving the mercenary hospital, he and the rest of the SOG soldiers entered a neighborhood with relatively intact houses and began to search the area.

The hostage-taker doesn't hide in a bombed-up area, and by any turn, it's more likely that there are hostage clues in such a place.

After entering the street, everyone scattered to search, looking at Eric, who was still a little slow, Lin Chi asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"Good." Eric remained as cold as usual: "Thank you, Commander, for your concern. ”

He was shot in the shoulder, and he was unconscious under the aura of doom of the "Burning Demon" just now, and now that they are out of the enveloping range of the aura of the Burning Demon, Eric has also regained consciousness.

Although his injuries seem to be a little lighter than Lin Chi, who suffered a second-degree fracture, the wound healing speed of NPCs in the game is naturally not comparable to that of players. Eric still looks weak, and he has lost his previous combat strength.

"You can go back to the safe house. It's a little farther away, but you should be fine. Lin Chi said.

"I can still fight." Eric said coldly, apparently not intending to continue the conversation.

Seeing that this guy was still reckless, Lin Chi didn't say much. After all, without the threat of the player, with Eric's ability, it should not be difficult to save his life on this kind of battlefield.

Bypassing a group of patrolling mercenaries, the SOG soldiers dispersed in a tacit understanding and began to search the empty neighborhood. Ten minutes later, a message came over the radio from a SOG soldier:

"I've found something."

Lin Chi and the others entered the dilapidated apartment where the soldier was, and then found words drawn in blood on the floor on the first floor:

"The vice president of the Kayaland electric vehicle company is in our hands, if you want his life, take the money!"

"That's too lo, isn't it?" Lin Chi shook his head.

Compared to the previous kidnapper who put a walkie-talkie on the chair, this kidnapper looks very unsentimental. Judging from this unprofessional method, the kidnappers may not be soldiers, but ordinary criminals in the city.

Lin Chi looked at the lower right corner of the red letter, picked up a brick pressed on the ground, and found a note from below, which said the address designated by the kidnappers to pay the money, and even left an email address intimately......

"SOG is much more professional in carrying out kidnapping missions than they do." A soldier sighed.

"Stop making criminal declarations."

Lin Chi smiled, walked into the kitchen of the house, turned on the faucet, and washed away the blood on his face with a faint stream of water.

"Since these people are very unprofessional, the next thing should be simple, we just need to find the hostage's location and get him out."

Looking at a group of terrifying soldiers standing in the room who exuded "death qi" all over their bodies, Lin Chi waved his hand to the soldiers, walked out of the apartment and returned to the street:

"Come on, the action begins."
