Chapter 42 | Full-Scale Outbreak of the Core Life-and-Death Battle: Extreme Pursuit and Strategic Confrontation

The dawn mist was still thick, and the air inside the abandoned stronghold was heavy, as if compressed, each breath filled with dust and the smell of gunpowder.

Li Xing squatted under a half-collapsed beam, Tang sword gripped tightly, his eyes sharp, scanning the depths of the ruins. Every flicker could be a lurking threat.

Zhao Yun lay prone on the flank, Desert Eagle held steady, his gaze cold, ready to fire with precision at any moment.

Li Yu lay prone at the window, a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle pressed tightly against her shoulder, each breath slow and precise, her eyes catching every movement in the mist and shadows.

Zhou Xiaoyu lay on a high point, her sniper scope locked onto rooftops and forest ambush points, her breathing and heartbeat almost synchronized with the system, ready to provide supporting fire at any time.

Zhou Yan guarded the rear of the team, his hunting dog close to his body, growling to warn of potential threats in the air, its nose close to the ground, sniffing out every potential ambush.

Li Xing said in a low voice, "The core life-or-death situation has fully erupted. They've realized we've broken through the outer perimeter, and this pursuit will be even more dangerous."

The First Wave of Extreme Pursuit

Deep within the building, the core members of the unknown force launched a full-scale counterattack.

Zhao Yun opened fire first, the Desert Eagle continuously suppressing the exits of the building, forcing the enemy to change their route of advance.

Li Yu provided flanking support, the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle firing accurately, preventing the enemy from launching a stable attack.

Zhou Xiaoyu observed from a high point, marking potential ambush paths and providing real-time information to the team.

Li Xing led the team to advance rapidly, the Tang sword cutting down approaching enemies, while the system interface flashed:

[Extreme Life-or-Death Mode Activated]

[Team Coordination Efficiency Maximized]

[Pursuit and Ambush Strategies Optimized]

Every action, every bullet was optimized by the system, and the team's coordination reached an unprecedented level.

Zhou Yan and the hunting dog circled around from the rear, blocking the enemy's retreat route, forming an encirclement.

High-Intensity Strategic Contest

The core of the unknown force clearly relied on more than just force; they used the building's passages, elevation differences, obstacles, and complex routes to launch a strategic counterattack.

Li Xing whispered, "Divide the work! Fire coverage, cross-suppression, flanking attack! Any mistake could lead to a counterattack!"

Zhao Yun and Li Yu formed a precise arc of fire, forcing the enemy's movement trajectory to be fixed.

Zhou Xiaoyu continued to suppress from a high point, the sniper scope accurately marking the enemy's position, providing real-time tactical data for the flanking members.

Zhou Yan and the hunting dog cut in at any time, pouncing on potential threats, ensuring the safety of the team's rear.

The system prompt flashed again:

[Core Life-or-Death Experience Points Greatly Increased]

[Team's Extreme Tactical Coordination Completed]

[Mastery of Life-and-Death Combat Strategies Increased]

Conflict Intensifies

The enemies inside the building moved faster and faster, and the pace of the battle accelerated sharply.

Relying on system prompts and his own experience, Li Xing accurately grasped the rhythm of the enemy's movements, and the Tang sword flashed, cutting down enemies trying to get close.

Zhao Yun's Desert Eagle continuously suppressed, forcing the enemy to change their route of movement.

Li Yu's semi-automatic rifle accurately blocked the flank, creating close-quarters opportunities for Li Xing.

Zhou Xiaoyu provided high-point support, every potential ambush point was marked, ensuring the team's safe advance.

Zhou Yan and the hunting dog cut off the enemy's counterattack route in time, forming a second encirclement.

Life-or-Death Climax

After several minutes of intense fighting, the team gradually gained control of the core area, but the enemy had not completely retreated.

Li Xing said in a deep voice, "We must use speed and strategy to completely break the enemy's layout, otherwise the next wave of pursuit will be even more dangerous."

Zhao Yun nodded, "They won't retreat easily, the next counterattack will be even more fierce."

Li Yu whispered, "We can only rely on our own judgment against enemies outside the system."

Zhou Xiaoyu observed the high point, "The core is partially controlled, but the high-level life-or-death situation has only just begun."

Zhou Yan comforted the hunting dog, "The real test outside the hunting ground is a comprehensive contest of psychology, strategy, and extreme reaction."

Li Xing looked up at the darkness deep inside the building, his eyes firm, "The core life-or-death situation has fully erupted, we must be faster, more accurate, and more ruthless to survive."
