Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch-Chapter 425 - 409: The Hero Appears!

Chapter 425: Chapter 409: The Hero Appears!

Translator: 549690339

Indiscriminate Death Race, of course, wasn’t just about Lincoln and Xiaomeng’s heavy truck wreaking havoc.

Cars ahead on the race track were already embroiled in fierce battles, with vehicles being destroyed and players getting eliminated every second.

A fact that many audiences, and even many players on the track, had not noticed was—

The mirrors of the race track had begun to merge.

Due to many players being eliminated and a decrease in track pressure, the tracks initially in different mirrors, had started to dynamically merge.

This measure ensures that the intensity of the battles on the track is always maintained at a higher level.

The opponents the drivers face are several tens to hundreds of times more than what they initially saw during the start of the race!

This, Yi had already deeply felt.

He was also among the first batch of players who discovered the track merger.

This was not because he was clever or observant, but simply because the evidence was too obvious, almost impossible to ignore—

He was suddenly thrown into aerial combat!

Though Yi’s takeoff speed was a bit slow, thankfully, at the beginning of the race, everyone didn’t have such an intense desire to fight, which allowed him to survive the initial acceleration phase.

Although the engine of this helicopter wasn’t the most powerful, when pushed to its limits, it could still reach speeds of 250km/h.

Of course, due to the restriction that it can only fly 10m high, plus the special environment of the city track, it wasn’t really possible to reach its maximum speed.

Yet even so, he rushed to the lead group at an extremely fast speed, and was only sprayed with a few rifles in between.

When he was shot, he immediately voiced out to stop the two teammates in his cabin from retaliating.

Yes, these two teammates were the ones who previously sat in the pickup truck, asked by Yi to “imagine themselves as machine guns”.

This time, although their vehicle had shifted from a pickup truck to a helicopter cabin, their task remained the same:

Hold the automatic assault rifle and then imagine themselves as a door machine gun.

Like this, Yi had at his disposal two door machine guns.

Taking into consideration the weight issues, he reasonably abandoned the luxurious configuration of four door machine guns.

And the reason why Yi did not let his teammates retaliate was simple, —— once the helicopter opened fire, it would immediately remind the other drivers on the road, “the air force is a threat”.

Then, they could very likely be targeted by everyone.

He hadn’t added too much armor to the helicopter. With a height of ten meters, if too many people focus firepower on them, it definitely wouldn’t be able to resist.

Like this, Yi ‘endured in silence’, flew all the way to the front, ran parallel with the sports cars underneath him.

Looking at the sports cars on the road ‘cautiously’ colliding, Yi decided to give them a surprise: “Fire at will! Repeat, fire at will!”

Those two machine guns, which were eager for action, were going crazy shooting at the ‘vulnerable’ vehicles below.

Below, there were even two sports cars with fancy open-tops!

The result was, after receiving this divine sanction that fell from the sky, they were instantly killed and immediately eliminated.

The others also didn’t fare so well, for pursuing speed, they had forsaken their bulletproof capability to a ridiculous extent, and a single bullet could cause a mechanical failure and make the car break down on the spot for the driver to see.

Just as Chasing Wind thought that a major disaster was imminent, he suddenly heard the sound of a second propeller!

Followed by a third, a fourth, a fifth…

Under the dazzling lights of Night City, helicopters blocked the sky of the race track!

Yi was certain that on his way over he hadn’t seen a single helicopter.

So he concluded that these mysteriously appearing helicopters must have definitely been merged from other race tracks!

But he didn’t complain, because he was clear: if he could think of it, then others could have thought of it too, conflicts were unavoidable right from the start.

Chasing Wind nervously looked up, and almost drove off the track due to shivering hands.

After steadying the steering wheel, he immediately disregarded everything and started to accelerate.

On city tracks, with high-rises on both sides, neither sports cars nor helicopters could reach their maximum speed, else they’d likely hit something.

Originally, his speed was already nearing the limit of control, any faster and there would likely be problems.

But now he didn’t care anymore!

Increasing the speed still gave him a chance for survival, but without increasing speed meant instant death!

The sports cars below began to push the limits even further.

Meanwhile, the helicopters started a chaotic battle.

Most players flying the helicopters brought along 1 to 3 fully armed passengers.

These passengers were the helicopter’s means of offense and defense.

In a limit altitude of 10m air battle, where the weapons are automatic rifles, it was a pathetic but extremely fierce air battle that had begun this way.

Everyone used the helicopter cabin as a mobile base – constantly suppressing the opponent’s shots on one hand, and on the other hand, trying all means to target the enemy’s fuel tank, cockpit, and other fatal positions.

Then again, if the distance was close enough, why not try throwing a hand grenade into the other person’s cabin?

At the same time, they didn’t forget about the sports cars below. Whenever an opportunity arose, they’d fire a few shots below.

This would be a small issue if it was just one person firing off a few shots, but if dozens of people were simultaneously firing off a few shots, even throwing hand grenades down, that would be a big problem!

The sports cars below that hesitated and didn’t continue accelerating, faced an instant disaster, and began to get eliminated in big numbers.

Behind the sports cars and helicopters, the second wave of racers on the track had long been thrown into chaos.

The modified cars here were completely different from the common style found at the front and back of the queue. It was as if the eight immortals were crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities!

Flamethrowers and automatic rifles were the most common and commonplace things.

Yelang let his teammate drive, taking another teammate with him at great risk. They used a huge metal bed crossbow to shoot from the rear car.

The teammate was responsible for handling the spear.

He was responsible for visually locating and manually calibrating the targets. He would shoot out one two-meter-long metal long spear after another towards the driver’s seat and engine position of a nearby modified car.

At their feet, there was stack after stack of metal long spears.

All of the metal long spears were fitted with specially made armor-penetrating spearheads, incredibly destructive!

Especially in this echelon of modified cars, they sought a balance of offense and defense, not madly piling on armor without reason.

This resulted in Yelang’s metal long spears having an extremely strong penetrating effect!

If hit the driver’s cabin, the driver died instantly; if hit the engine, the car broke down on the spot.

Even if the shot was off but still hit the car, there was a high probability that the thick two-meter-long metal long spear would directly damage the structural components inside the opponent’s car.

Compared to bullets that are a few millimeters in diameter, this thing was incredibly powerful!

One of Camille Victoria’s teammates was shot through the head by a small pistol sticking out of a car window while overtaking a motorbike.

The helmet was useless.

Seeing this, Camille Victoria removed her safety helmet without hesitation and threw it vigorously.

What’s the point of wearing a helmet that can’t block bullets?

In case of a car accident, I should be left with a life?

Excuse me, this is Night City! It’s a virtual world! Who cares about a life!

After removing the helmet, Camille Victoria took a deep breath, then reached into her bag and took out a small box.

This was the weapon she had specifically prepared for this race.

She unscrewed the lid with one hand, and threw it forcefully at the car that was trying to hit her. With a “thud” it accurately hit the front car’s windshield.

With the [Palm Extreme Sports] skill in place, accurate pitching is super easy as long as you practice a bit!

After hitting the windshield, the box lid was flipped off, revealing a full box of green paint that splashed out and blocked most of the driver’s vision.

“Haha! Good luck, friend!” Camille Victoria said goodbye to the driver and accelerated away.

The driver behind her, blinded while driving at high speed, instinctively slammed on the brakes.

But this was on the intense race track!

The next moment, a heavy impact hit the front of the car and was thrown out of the race course.

Eliminated!

Camille Victoria had already thrown out the second paintbox.

This time the effect was even better, directly causing a three-car collision with a high yield!

When deciding to ride a motorcycle, Camille Victoria thought long and hard about what weapon to use.

However, the load capacity of a motorcycle is limited, and the weapon must be used single-handedly, so the options were very limited and the threat was small.

In the end, Xiaomei suggested that she could use “indirect methods” to create damage.

Therefore, she chose to block the enemy’s vision with paint, causing the enemy to crash their own car.

The dozens of paintboxes in her bag were all manually filled by her, one by one.

However, Camille Victoria’s opponents should be thankful that they encountered Camille Victoria.

Because Camille Victoria’s teammates also needed weapons, but they did not have Camille Victoria’s patience, so they chose ready-made weapons–

All kinds of rotten fruits, herring cans, segmented lion snail powder, and even ink, sludge…

All sorts of strange and messy items were included.

If it weren’t for the fact that toilets in the virtual world are decorative, Camille Victoria would very much suspect that someone could come up with even more disgusting things!

And these streamers were only a microcosm of this big melee.

From a broader perspective, the battlefield was even more chaotic and disordered-

Some cars came with huge battering rams, ramming into any car they saw.

Some cars had four large electric saws sticking out on either side of the body, the buzzing saws crazily cutting through their opponents.

Some cars were swinging meteor hammers, determinedly pursuing and smashing a single target until it was destroyed.

Some cars had a huge brake knife structure welded on, which rhythmically swung automatically from side to side, and anything hit by it would have its roof sliced off. Some unfortunate ones would even be bisected by the huge falling brake knife.

Some cars came with a grappling hook launcher. Once they captured an opponent with the hook, they would forcibly close the distance and use their porcupine-like bodies to damage the opponent’s car.

Even some lunatics tied themselves to elastic poles at a speed of seventy to eighty yards. Holding a long spear, they swayed from side to side in the air, trying to stab and kill other drivers with their spears.

Clashes were everywhere!

The audience felt they didn’t have enough eyes to watch all the action.

Many hosts who did not participate in the competition but were dedicated to live streaming the competition also didn’t know where to point their cameras. Some even started to sulk helplessly and put on panoramas.

But soon, they no longer had this trouble, because– freewёbnoνel.com

Accompanied by powerful, agitated, and crazy rock music, Lincoln and Xiaomeng’s heavy truck finally arrived at this most intense battlefield!
