88: Master's operation (please add)

Seeing that he could no longer maneuver, the player casually threw a frag grenade at the Black Hawk Patrol.

Perhaps due to nervousness and a lack of proper timing, the Black Hawk Patrol members easily dodged the grenade. Instead, it only confirmed his position, and they began to flank him in a fan formation.

The survivor pulled out a stun grenade and tossed it.

This time, two members failed to react in time and were hit by the stun grenade.

Seizing the opportunity, the survivor leaned out halfway and fired instantly, killing those two Black Hawk Patrol members on the spot.

Holy crap! He's so strong!

Li Xiao was stunned by this counterattack; the scene felt just like watching a movie.

As expected, anyone among the two billion people who dared to make it to the final round was not to be trifled with.

However, as soon as he opened fire, the other three responded quickly, firing immediately in his direction and landing two bullets in his chest.

But the newly acquired bulletproof vest seemed very powerful; the man didn't care at all and didn't even bother applying a bandage.

The Black Hawk Patrol was no fool; they immediately retrieved a slender type of grenade from the grenade pouches on their chests and threw two at once.

At that very moment, the man left his hiding spot behind the tree, rolled to the side, and opened fire on the two who had thrown the grenades. Within seconds, amidst the sparks, two more members were taken down, though he was also hit repeatedly in the head and chest by the last member's submachine gun.

Yet, this set of armor seemed to have an extremely strong damage reduction ability. The man still didn't fall. When he shifted his muzzle to the last person, he discovered there were no bullets left in the magazine.

However, his next move left Li Xiao thoroughly impressed. He dropped his gun, took two bullets head-on, and dashed under the last Black Hawk Patrol member. With his right hand, he drew a gleaming silver dagger from the sheath strapped to his right calf and stabbed it into the Black Hawk Patrol member's abdomen.

Squelch!

The dagger pierced through the gap between the Black Hawk Patrol member's vest and belt. Blood instantly surged along the handle. The Black Hawk Patrol member wore an expression of extreme pain before being kicked away by the survivor.

Bang!

He calmly wiped the dagger on the grass, sheathed it, drew the pistol from his thigh, and finished off the last Black Hawk Patrol member.

Strong!

Li Xiao was thoroughly impressed. If he didn't have the Life Pool to support him, he would likely be inferior to the Black Hawk Patrol in front of someone like this.

However, the survivor seemed to be heavily injured as well, and immediately began applying medicine as soon as the battle ended.

Watching him apply medicine on his own, a thought suddenly sprouted in Li Xiao's mind. He quietly reached into his backpack and touched the frag grenade he had picked up earlier.

At this moment, the survivor was only twenty meters away, and it was downhill; he could reach the other's feet with just a little effort.

If he didn't sneak an attack in this situation to get the equipment in the other's hands, he would be far too cowardly.

Carefully pulling the safety pin and releasing the spring lever, Li Xiao heard a faint click and knew the grenade's fuse had been ignited.

After waiting two seconds, Li Xiao threw it with force.

The grenade landed quite accurately two meters behind the man, but the survivor's reaction time was simply superhuman. Almost half a second after the frag grenade landed, the opponent rolled on the ground and slid down the slope.

Boom!

A muffled sound echoed in the forest, and thick smoke rose. The survivor shook the dirt off his body, quickly climbed up, and aimed his gun at Li Xiao's location.

Li Xiao thought he was unlucky; he was going to get shot again. However, he didn't stand up immediately. He was lying on an indented platform, making it difficult for the opponent to see his figure from down the slope.

The opponent fired several probing shots, the bullets grazing Li Xiao's scalp, but he endured it and didn't move.

After a while, the opponent applied a first-aid kit and began to scavenge the ammunition from the five Black Hawk Patrol members.

Li Xiao couldn't tolerate this anymore. He was already poor, and if this guy took the bullets and left only empty guns, he would be so angry he'd cough up blood.

So, he simply climbed up right where he was and aimed his pistol at the opponent.

But the man seemed to have intentionally exposed his back to Li Xiao. Seeing Li Xiao actively reveal himself, he turned around, swung his rifle horizontally, and fired even before Li Xiao could.

A burst of seven or eight bullets hit Li Xiao square in the chest, instantly throwing off his pistol's aim, sending two bullets into a nearby tree trunk.

But this time, the same confusion and surprise appeared on the opponent's face. Recovering his breath, Li Xiao stopped pretending, gripped his gun with both hands, and charged down the slope.

Seeing Li Xiao rush over, the man raised his gun and fired again, but even after emptying a full magazine, Li Xiao didn't stop for a second.

Now the man panicked even more. He hurriedly dropped his rifle and pulled out his pistol to fire wildly at Li Xiao, but it was still useless.

Li Xiao rushed to within five meters, raised his pistol, and fired all ten rounds in one breath, then drew another gun from his lower back and fired three more shots.

Li Xiao had already prepared for the opponent's bulletproof vest's damage reduction, but even with reduction, taking bullets still caused health loss.

And so, this expert with formidable combat power fell before Li Xiao. The opponent was still clutching a dagger, thinking about killing Li Xiao until his very last breath.

After drinking a beverage, Li Xiao began to loot the body.

The two pieces of armor in the airdrop crate were indeed high-level. The helmet was called a Special Protective Helmet, with 50% effective damage reduction.

The vest was called a Carbon-Ceramic Composite Bulletproof Vest, with 60% effective damage reduction.

However, despite their stats, the durability of the previous armor was quite fragile. The dozen or so shots he had just taken dropped the vest's durability to just over twenty points, though the helmet remained intact.

Then there was the peculiar rifle he used. Its full name was the Gorza Automatic Assault Rifle, and beneath the firearm information was a nickname: Lightning.

Because this gun's fire rate far exceeded that of the AK and H-series assault rifles, reaching a speed of eleven rounds per second, which was the reason why this guy could instantly take down two Black Hawk Patrol members earlier.

This gun had terrifying lethality within an effective range of 200 meters, with a single headshot dealing eighty points of damage.

Opening his backpack, Li Xiao saw the laptop-like box, which was actually a medical kit filled with various medicines. It could be used directly, restoring 300 HP after nine seconds.

This was useless to Li Xiao, but it was absolutely a life-saving artifact for others.

So, Li Xiao discarded it and chose the bottles of beverages and 120 rounds of 7.62mm rifle ammo from his backpack.

In truth, what Li Xiao wanted most were some throwables. As long as he was sneaky enough with grenades, he could instantly kill even the strongest professional soldier.

After packing up the items, Li Xiao looked at the off-road vehicle left behind by the Black Hawk Patrol. It was just a modified civilian off-road vehicle with only 5,000 HP, but it was a rare vehicle nonetheless.
