Chapter 49: The Assault on the Grand Warehouse

"Attention, Squad One at Building C, one squad each at Building Three and the police station, and there are people in the warehouse and Building A," Zhu Ziyuan's calm voice came through in the game.

With Zhu Ziyuan’s reminder, Yang Hao and his team gained a rough understanding of the situation at the airfield.

They were only halfway through scavenging when a sudden burst of gunfire erupted nearby—extremely close.

"Azure Garments used an AKM to headshot and knock down Lord Skyfire!"
"Azure Garments used an AKM to headshot and knock down Lady Frost!"

Seeing these notifications, Yang Hao and the others let out a sigh of relief. So it was Lin Zijin who fired.

One against two, a flawless takedown!

At the same moment, viewers in the live stream witnessed Lin Zijin’s marksmanship and were a little amazed.

"The legendary goddess lives up to her name—even her recoil control is so steady."
"That was an AKM! If you didn’t know better, you’d think she was holding a fully kitted M416!"
"You just can’t mess with a pro. Awesome!"
"Her recoil control is god-like, absolutely steady."

In the world of Battle Royale, compared to the M416 rifle chambered for 5.56, the AKM isn’t particularly popular. Its wild recoil intimidates most players. In everyone’s eyes, the AKM kicks like a mule, the bullet speed isn’t great, and the 7.62 ammo eats up inventory space—it’s never the first choice.

Of course, the AKM hits hard.

But controlling its recoil is incredibly tough.

Even skilled players, when given a choice, usually pick the M416 over the AKM.

But in Lin Zijin’s hands, that gun just felt different.

She didn’t use the AKM often, but when she did, her performance was spectacular.

So steady!

It was as if they weren’t even using the same weapon.

Taking down two opponents in quick succession, Lin Zijin’s squad in Building K quickly drew the attention of other players.

Bang!

Just then, a shot rang out.

Yao Cheng, who had just run over from the small warehouses, took a hit. Thankfully, he was wearing level-two armor, so it wasn’t fatal.

Clearly, someone had their sights on Yao Cheng.

The enemy had a sniper!

However, Yao Cheng managed to dash into Building K and regroup with Yang Hao and the others during the sniper’s reload.

Meanwhile, the two players Lin Zijin had knocked earlier were in exposed positions; their teammates couldn’t reach them in time, and they quickly fell to gunfire from other squads.

The kills were stolen, but Lin Zijin didn’t seem to mind. Her gaze was already fixed on the source of the earlier gunshot.

Ratatat...

The moment an enemy’s head popped up, Lin Zijin moved.

A burst of gunfire, and he dropped instantly.

At this moment, the squads at Building C and the police station were already exchanging fire. Judging by the intensity of the shots, it was a fierce battle.

There were players in Building A as well, but they seemed separated from their teammates. When one tried to run and regroup, Yang Hao spotted him and finished him off with a precise shot.

For a time, the airfield was alive with gunfire, and the atmosphere grew tense.

Seizing the opportunity while the squads at Building C and the police station were locked in combat, Lin Zijin covered them with her rifle, and the three of them quickly gathered and crept toward the main warehouse.

There should be two people left in the warehouse—their teammates were the ones Lin Zijin had just knocked.

"They’re coming!"

As Yang Hao and his team approached, the two remaining in the warehouse had already noticed the three figures moving in from Building K.

Ever since their two teammates fell, they had been wary of an attack from Building K. As soon as Yang Hao and his team appeared, they were spotted.

"Careful! Only three are coming—there’s probably one covering with a rifle!"

One of them gave a warning.

"No worries, I’ve got a level-three helmet."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he glimpsed Yang Hao’s team sprinting. He darted out and raised his 98K.

Bang!

But just as he opened his scope, a gunshot rang out.

It wasn’t his.

Before he could even process that, a cloud of blood burst from his head, and his health plummeted.

Startled, he ducked back behind cover, abandoning his shot.

Seeing his health drop so drastically, his expression soured.

"I told you someone was covering, and you went out anyway?"

His teammate sighed and added, not without sarcasm, "Don’t forget who that is."

Hearing this, a look of shock and unwillingness crossed his face.

He quickly regained his composure. "It’s fine. They must not have a 98K, or I’d have lost much more health just now."

Still unconvinced, after healing up, he again trained his sights on Yang Hao’s last known position, his gaze drifting toward Lin Zijin’s spot.

His teammate could only sigh helplessly.

Suddenly, Yang Hao’s squad moved again!

The player holding the 98K counted silently, preparing to fire once more.

His teammate tensed, ready to defend against a counterattack.

Bang!

The 98K cracked, and Yao Cheng, sprinting, took a bullet—blood burst from his body, and his health dropped by more than half, but he was still alive.

Almost simultaneously, two SKS shots rang out from the distance.

Just as the sniper felt a sense of foreboding, two 7.62 rounds, one after the other, tore through his head.

"Azure Garments used an SKS to headshot and knock down ‘I Love 98K’!"

"A semi-auto DMR?"

As he fell, the thought flashed through his mind in horror.

Meanwhile, Yang Hao’s squad was closing in.

Although the player Lin Zijin had just knocked was revived and managed to bandage up, they soon ran into Yang Hao’s advancing trio.

Even with quick reactions, outnumbered and wounded, there was little hope for a comeback.

In the end, both defenders in the warehouse were eliminated.

The battle for the main warehouse—Yang Hao’s squad emerged victorious!

Of course, it wasn’t much to brag about.

The only thing that excited Yang Hao was the enemy’s 98K. They had searched everywhere and hadn’t found one.

The 98K was a deadly weapon, but it rarely spawned. Landing and finding one was possible once or twice, but the odds were never high.

Luckily, after some twists and turns, they got one off an enemy.

If only Lin Zijin had wielded the 98K instead of the SKS just now—the intimidation factor would’ve been even greater.

Of course, the 98K is only as good as its wielder.

As for the previous sniper... well.

Yang Hao picked up the 98K from the loot box, glanced toward Lin Zijin’s position with a beaming smile, and scampered over to her.

No doubt, he was going to show off his find again.
