Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 428: World Number One! The Golden Robbers!

With a thud, he shoved the corpse into a body bag, tossed it into the trash bin in the stairwell, snapped the lid shut, and Qiezi clapped his hands.

Then he exchanged a glance with Liu Di across from him; the two nodded and continued their approach to the second floor.

After the earlier recon, Qiezi had a clear grasp of how complicated the second floor was.

When they were outside, two security teams had already thrown them into a panic.

And this garage’s second floor was not only narrower than before, it was blanketed in caras—one slip and they’d be spotted.

They had to be extra careful.

They climbed the stairs to the second floor. Qiezi crouched, pried open the second-floor back door.

Rattle—

But the mont he peeked his head out—

“Holy—!”

A shout escaped Qiezi and he jerked back inside in a panic!

Because in that instant his U-interface flashed a red exclamation mark signaling imminent exposure!

Caras!

The cara facing the second-floor corridor could clearly watch the entire hall from their back door to the front-door stairwell.

Very tricky.

For a mont, the infiltration seed to hit a stalemate.

“So… the ECM jamr is for what? Oh—so it blocks caras? Damn, we haven’t unlocked it yet because no experience…”

Looking up at the steadily rotating cara, Liu Di’s brows tightened.

The ECM jamr was a unique item in this ga.

Stick the jamr on a wall or the ground and it blocks all signals for a limited ti.

That includes alarm calls from panicked crowds, security reinforcents, and cara feeds.

In short, whether for assault or stealth, it was a godsend.

You unlocked it at tier three.

Too bad they’d targeted this pricey garage before they had that gadget.

Now it was awkward.

Faced with the cara, they were in a bind.

“Or—”

After thinking, Liu Di suggested:

“Why don’t we just shoot the cara?”

That was a thod.

They’d done it before in the rcy Hospital mission.

But there’s a catch!

Different heists had different consequences for destroying caras.

In the rcy Hospital level, breaking a cara triggered a call from the police station that had to be answered.

In so levels, like the World Number One Bank, caras could not be destroyed at all or they’d trigger an imdiate alarm.

According to intel, the caras in this garage heist were allowed to be destroyed.

However—

Once a cara was destroyed, after a short period security would notice the surveillance failure and call the police.

That window wasn’t long.

aning!

If they chose to destroy the cara now,

they would have to use that brief ti to complete the entire sequence: find the manager → get the eting room access card → learn the key room administrator’s na → find the admin’s computer → hack the computer to open the key room → plant the bomb to create an escape route → grab the sports car keys → drive off.

Ti was extrely tight and margin for error very low.

Still!

At this point, destroying the cara seed like the only viable option.

“Goddamn it…”

Qiezi muttered, then steeled himself and nodded at Liu Di:

“Do it!”

Right after he spoke—

a suppressed gunshot!

Pfft—

Crack!

The cara shattered, and the background music instantly ramped up in tension!

Their movents sped up with it!

Bang!

Qiezi lunged out the back door in a single step, flicked off the safety on his Glock, and strode toward the manager’s office!

Liu Di rolled up his sleeves and took up a two-handed ready stance with his gun, watching for threats!

The chat barrage erupted—

‘They ramped up the intensity!’

‘Hubby’s so handso! Hubby scold !’

‘Damn they really just switched to open robbery tactics?’

‘Go for it!’

‘Stop, Qiezi, the outside is full of GK (dog heads)!’

‘Robber energy on point!’

‘Their strategy is basically: if undecided, rush in recklessly’

...

After that unlucky face-to-face with the poor employee earlier,

their luck this ti seed especially good.

Just as they stepped into the corridor, the security that had been patrolling the second floor had looped to the other side and hadn’t noticed the cara being shot or that masked intruders had burst into the garage.

The entire corridor leading to the manager’s office was empty!

Perfect timing!

Qiezi seized the chance, sprinted forward, and in three giant steps was inside the manager’s office!

But the next second, the sight before him froze him—

The manager’s office was empty!

“Huh? Goddamn? Where the hell’s the manager?!”

Qiezi was in a bad mood:

“This is ssed up! Isn’t there supposed to be a manager right here?!”

“I literally saw him getting cozy with a female secretary when I scoped it out!”

“Where is the person?!”

Hearing Qiezi’s panicked shout over team voice comms, the other three sank inward with dread.

This was bad!

From earlier it was clear that in Payday, every NPC—security, staff, or passerby—moved around.

So obviously the manager had stepped out!

Unbelievable.

And then—

as Qiezi turned his head—

he saw the balding manager standing at the doorway!

For an instant, their eyes t—

The bald manager looked at the masked Qiezi: ?

Qiezi stared back at the balding manager and showed a tooth-clenching grin:

“Heh, you—goddamn—“

Pfft!

A shot!

He dropped the bald manager imdiately!

But just when Qiezi thought everything was settled and he could move forward to take the manager’s access card—

as the manager went down, another figure appeared behind him.

A security guard.

Qiezi fell silent.

Then, like seeing an alien resurrect, Huang Bo—what the—!!!

An earsplitting alarm blasted out across the garage!

With Qiezi and Liu Di screaming in furious frustration through the garage:

“Shit—! I’m so screwed!!!”

“Forget stealth! I can’t stealth a thing today! Goddamn!!!”

Rat-a-tat-tat!!!

!!!

The two simply couldn’t endure the constant anxiety of stealth any longer!

At this point anger overrode fear—if they were going down, they’d go down fighting.

DNM—rob it!

Liu Di’s light machine gun and Qiezi’s shotgun opened up together!

The garage’s two floors instantly erupted into chaos!

Screams, alarms, and security shouts all rang out at once!

Security rapidly assembled and charged toward the intruders’ position!

Qiezi displayed full robber ferocity, his shotgun cracking—one guard after another dropped!

“Screw this! Today I’m fighting you to the death!!!”

Beside him, Liu Di went even more over the top, shouldering the machine gun and holding the trigger down!

A torrent of bullets shredded the garage into wreckage:

“Ha ha ha ha! Kill! Die for !!!”

As soon as gunfire broke out inside the garage,

Little Dark and Donggua, who were on lookout outside, knew without being told that the two inside had been exposed!

No point in debating it!

Today was the day!

Open fire!!!

Rat-a-tat—

Clack-clack! Clack-clack—!!

Gunshots thundered!

Employees and custors alike scread and fled for their lives!

Within monts, the garage was a chaotic uproar!

The chat barrage exploded—

“Di’s gone mad haha”

“Check it out, doesn’t feel staged”

“After the manager went down and a guard popped out, they couldn’t hold it”

“Ha ha ha hard to hold your composure”

Old Thief’s smile

“Qiezi totally lost it?”

“General Di went berserk hahahaha”

“From stealth to ard robbery, mastered?”

“Ha ha ha so real”

“All tactics shifted to open robbery”

It’s all fake; put on a little mask, drop the electronic music and this is the true vibe

“Cars don’t matter anymore, it’s gotta be about the beat”

‘LOL.’

With the viewers laughing in the chat,

two minutes later the four of them were back at the garage entrance, having cald down.

Reopened.

Yes, they ultimately failed.

Although in that last desperate segnt they’d enjoyed the firefight with the responding cops,

when they finally tried to find keys and drive away, the dock pickup had already vanished.

From alarm to getaway took only three minutes and forty seconds.

That short ti wasn’t enough for them to do so much.

For a while, Qiezi’s crew seed stuck.

Stealth was genuinely difficult.

Rob it outright—still not enough ti.

How were they supposed to get through this?

Just then, as everyone was at a loss, Little Dark let out a small exclamation—

“Hey? Wait a sec? I think I see sothing familiar.”

At his words the others turned to look at Little Dark:

“What did you see?”

Little Dark said:

“Open payday and search for the garage heist.”

They all did as he said.

“And then?”

“Click the Rankings section.”

Following Little Dark’s lead, they opened the rankings.

The leaderboard displayed global completion records for the current heist.

The next second—

“No—what?!”

“Ah—??”

All three shouted in unison.

On that ranking list,

the team ID holding the global number one record was glaringly—

[GW Team]

GW!

Golden Wind!

They clicked into GW Team’s squad info!

Four familiar, absurd IDs stared back—

Sam, LU, XDJ, Tetsu!

Gu Sheng, Lu Bian, Xu Dajiang, Moriya Tetsuya!

The Golden Wind executive squad!

Just that lineup could make soone’s jaw drop!

Even more outrageous was the miracle ti record the Golden Wind robber crew had set—

[2min59s77]

Two minutes, fifty-nine seconds and seventy-seven hundredths!

World number one!

At that mont everyone lost composure!

What—this—what—!

“Ah—???”
