"Overtime?!" Number Four was stunned for a moment, "It should be ...... If there is no such rule, when the time comes, it will be counted as a defeat for both parties......"

"So, is it just that everyone is eliminated together and then brainwashed?"

“…… To be honest, I don't know, it seems that there has never been such a precedent, and it is possible that it will be incorporated into the next training mission, right? ”

"In any case, they must be in a hurry than us, after all, before this, they have already touched the skirt of the goddess of victory......"

An ordinary person, no matter how good his mentality is, suddenly returns to the starting point in an instant when he is infinitely close to success, and it is absolutely impossible to say that his emotions have no effect.

What makes him even more uncomfortable is that the opponent who seemed to have completely lost his ability to compete before is now not only on an equal footing with him, but also puts himself in a dilemma.

There are two choices in front of the other party, one is to calm down and continue to wait for Qi Lin and them to get into the trap themselves - of course, from Qi Lin's perspective, if they choose this one, then they will never wait for that time, and the final result will be a draw...... Oh no, not a draw, but a defeat, a defeat on both sides.

Second, it is to bet on their own cracking speed, in the case of alarming the simulated mastermind, they must complete the cracking work within a few minutes and invade the mastermind's system, otherwise, they will fall into the situation of being attacked by the mastermind's subordinates and Qi Lin.

This choice can be said to be very uncomfortable......

"Be patient...... It's like a gamble, we're all slumbers, we don't have anything to lose, but the other side is different, they've got 90 percent of the chips at the table in front of them, but now they can be just like us...... They must be more anxious than we are......"

Qi Lin whispered to No. 4 as he took out a small bag of mints from his pocket, poured out a few and threw them into his mouth.

This mint candy is not an ordinary snack, but a special supply distributed by the organization to combat troops, which contains ingredients of high-grade military stimulants, which can have a very obvious refreshing effect, and the side effects are minimized.

"Would you like two?" Qi Lin asked.

"No, my body has been modified, and in addition to the increased anti-toxicity, the resistance has also strengthened a lot, and this little candy has no effect on me." Four shook his head and continued to look at the subway entrance and the nearby area with his binoculars.

……

The minutes ticked by, and the night passed quickly, and the sun slowly rose from beneath the underground line.

And the temperature in the ruined city began to rise gradually, Qi Lin and No. 4 both took off their cold-proof clothes and stuffed them into their backpacks.

"Still no movement, will they have already left?"

"It's only been a day and night, and if they didn't have the patience at all, they probably would have been killed a long time ago." Qi Lin moved his somewhat sore wrist slightly, and then began to prepare breakfast.

The contents of breakfast are very simple, and they have a strong military style - two cut bags of compressed military rations, each 150 grams, two are almost all starch, canned luncheon meat with little meat foam, a few vitamin tablets, plus a small half pot of purified water and a bag of "nutritional powder" that tastes similar to the common cold medicine in the old days.

The luncheon meat tasted salty, and the compressed rations were greasy to death, and although they didn't taste very good, the calorie numbers in these things were terrifying, and you would never feel hungry all morning after such a meal.

It took the two of them less than five minutes to settle the breakfast, and just as Qi Lin was disposing of the empty cans and packaging bags, a chaotic burst of gunfire and explosions suddenly rang out at the other end of the city's ruins!

"They seem to have exchanged fire with the mastermind!" Four quickly grabbed the telescope, but from his angle, he couldn't see anything.

"There is no smoke or muzzle flame on the ground, and there is no movement, judging from the degree of attenuation of the sound, the source should be underground, should we leave?"

"There's no hurry." Qi Lin held an unlit cigarette in his mouth, and said slowly: "It's just a temptation, if we go over now, it will be in their hands." ”

……

As Qi Lin said, the gunfire and explosions only lasted for about ten minutes before they ended, and the silence returned to the ruins of the city, as if nothing had happened.

"How do you know it's just a decoy?" Number Four asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You must have just joined the army, right? Have you ever participated in a real battle? ”

"Uh, I joined the army a year before the nuclear war, fought four battles, and was a construction engineer before......"

"Oh, no wonder." Qi Lin nodded.

Although literally, when No. 4 joined the army, there was still a year before the outbreak of nuclear war, but at that point in time, in fact, the war had been fought for several years, and after several large-scale battles, whether it was the regular armies of various countries or the mercenary groups under the consortium, the supply of soldiers was very tight, and the recruits would only receive three to four months of training before being sent to the battlefield.

In fact, when the war is going on to that extent, the combat effectiveness of the infantry is no longer important, as long as they can aim and pull the trigger, what is really lacking is still those professional arms that require a lot of technology to pile up.

For example, artillerymen, pilots and pilots.

The main role of infantry in the later stages of the war was to occupy the ground and maintain law and order.

"There are some things that you don't necessarily have to be taught in the training camp, and you need to rely on your own experience to judge...... If you look closely, you will find that there are only four types of firearms in the gunfire, one is supposed to be a Glock automatic pistol, a small-caliber AK assault rifle and two AR assault rifles, but other than that, there are no other weapons.

And the rhythm of the gunfire is also very distinctive, under normal circumstances, no one will use an assault rifle to shoot more than ten rounds of long point fire, especially soldiers who have undergone strict training, but many of these gunshots are continuous, this is obviously not a battle, just a simple empty gun. ”

The silence didn't last long, and the gunshots rang out again, but this time, Qi Lin jumped up in an instant.

"What's wrong? Isn't it temptation? ”

"This is not a temptation! They really got into a fight with the mastermind's men! ”

"How do you know?"

"I heard a very special kind of gunshot, which is only the sound of large-caliber assault rifles, but you also know that there are no large-caliber assault rifles in the equipment we choose from!"
