Chapter 44 | Unknown Forces' Last-Ditch Counterattack: A Trial of Life and Death for the Entire Team and a Core Breakthrough

The mist around the abandoned stronghold was thicker, the light swallowed by the heavy dust and fog, the air filled with the smell of scorched earth and gunpowder.

Li Xing crouched under a broken beam, his Tang sword gripped tightly, his eyes as sharp as steel blades.

Zhao Yun lay in ambush on the flank, his Desert Eagle ready to fire at any moment, his gaze cold and firm.

Li Yu lay prone at the window, his Type 56 semi-automatic rifle against his shoulder, his finger lightly on the trigger, ready to fire with precision.

Zhou Xiaoyu lay on a high point, his sniper scope locked onto rooftops and lurking spots in the forest, his breathing slow and steady.

Zhou Yan guarded the rear of the team, his hunting dog close by, growling and sniffing the air for any potential threats.

Li Xing whispered, "The unknown force's core is launching a desperate counterattack. Everyone, be prepared and fight with all your strength. The ultimate trial of life and death is here."

Desperate Counterattack

Elite members of the unknown force inside the house rushed out from secret passages, broken walls, rooftops, and flanks simultaneously, moving swiftly and in unison, equipped with high-level weapons, far surpassing the hunters they had encountered before.

Zhao Yun opened fire first, his Desert Eagle firing a series of bullets to accurately suppress the enemy's front, while creating maneuvering space for Li Yu and Li Xing.

Li Yu provided flanking fire, his Type 56 semi-automatic rifle accurately hitting potential threats, preventing the enemy from flanking.

Zhou Xiaoyu provided high-point sniping, marking every lurking spot and possible ambush route, providing real-time intelligence.

Li Xing led the team to move quickly, his Tang sword flashing, repelling approaching enemies at close range, while the system interface flashed:

[Ultimate Life and Death Trial Mode Upgraded]

[Team Collaboration Efficiency Maximized]

[Core Counterattack Strategy Optimized]

Zhou Yan and the hunting dog cut in from the rear, cutting off the enemy's retreat and forming a multi-directional attack.

Life-and-Death Struggle and Tactical Limits

The core enemies moved exceptionally quickly, using indoor passages, elevation differences, broken beams, and remaining obstacles to launch multi-point counterattacks.

Li Xing whispered, "Fire coverage! Cross suppression! Flanking attack! Maintain formation! Every action must be precise!"

Zhao Yun and Li Yu's fire arcs were precise, forcing the enemy's movement trajectory to be fixed.

Zhou Xiaoyu provided long-range support from a high point, and every potential ambush point was accurately marked.

Zhou Yan and the hunting dog cut into the enemy's line of action at any time, blocking the counterattack.

The system prompted again:

[Core Life and Death Game Ultimate Experience Value Increased]

[Team Collaborative Action Optimized to the Limit]

[Mastery of Life and Death Fighting Strategies Greatly Improved]

Core Breakthrough

The battle entered a feverish stage. The enemy began to use higher strategies: disguise, feints, mobile encirclements.

Li Xing led the team to accurately judge the enemy's movements, his Tang sword flashing, quickly subduing the enemy at close range.

Zhao Yun and Li Yu suppressed the fire, forcing the enemy to constantly adjust their movement routes.

Zhou Xiaoyu provided high-point support, providing real-time tactical information for Li Xing and the flanking team members.

Zhou Yan and the hunting dog cut off the enemy's counterattack route, forming an encirclement.

Finally, after a series of fierce firefights, the team controlled the core area, and the enemy was forced to retreat or surrender, and the core breakthrough was successful.

Li Xing slowly sheathed his sword, scanning the surroundings, the air still filled with tension.

Zhao Yun took a deep breath: "The desperate counterattack has been resolved, but the enemy's true strength has not yet been fully revealed."

Li Yu checked his ammunition: "The core breakthrough is just a stage victory, the real high-level life-and-death game is still waiting for us."

Zhou Xiaoyu observed from a high point: "The next round of conflict will be more intense, we must be faster, more precise, and more calm."

Zhou Yan comforted the hunting dog and whispered, "Outside the hunting ground, the life-and-death trial has just crossed the threshold."

Li Xing's eyes were firm: "The core breakthrough is complete, but the high-level life-and-death game is not over yet. The ultimate trial will only be more cruel."
