Chapter 12: Xiaoxiao Yan’s Little Scheme to Tease the Dog—Kurosawa Suffers a Brutal Beating
Page (1/3)
Smoldering Swagger: “What are you doing? The commander is already on the bridge, and you’re backing into the dog tunnel?”
Pockmarked Zhang: “You walk backward. In a moment, the commander will crawl in through the small window and catch you from behind!”
Invincible Tyrannosaur Warrior: “That is obviously being way too cautious!”
None of the fans in the livestream understood Li Yishu’s move.
But in the very next second, Black Marsh suddenly turned back.
The two locked eyes.
Highlander: “Holy crap!”
Suni the Wind Listener: “The commander is too devious!”
Eight-Treasure Zhou: “He only pretended to activate the lift! He never went up!”
Patrick Star: “Yishu’s move was so meticulous!”
“If he hadn’t looked back, he would have been backstabbed instantly!”
At that moment, Li Yishu was inside the dog tunnel, while Black Marsh stood outside it.
The two stared each other down, each trying to outthink the other.
If Black Marsh threw a C4, there would be a recovery animation, giving his opponent a chance to fire a grappling hook.
He also did not dare shoot recklessly, since he was running low on ammunition.
Likewise, Li Yishu did not dare throw out his grappling hook.
The moment he did, his shield would turn sideways. With Black Marsh’s marksmanship, there was a very real chance he would be shot dead.
Whoever made the first move would be the one to suffer.
The two fell into a stalemate: if the enemy did not move, neither would he.
Little Yan: “Commander, this kid is too crafty. Your bait-the-dog plan just failed!”
“What?” Black Marsh laughed. “Bait the dog?”
Little Yan continued, “But I have another plan!”
“Spit it out!” Black Marsh said.
“Commander, you should still have a fully modified M14 in your bag, right? Load it to full, then place it in your secondary weapon slot. With two M14s, empty the magazine of one. The shield dog will definitely use his grappling hook. Then switch to the other rifle and kill him with one magazine!”
Black Marsh laughed and glanced at the chat. “Little Yan has gotten smarter. Did his brain fill with water when he jumped into the river just now?”
Little Yan grew anxious. “Commander, I racked my brains to come up with a strategy for you, and you say my brain is full of water?”
“I was reading the comments!” Black Marsh said.
He then backed away behind the bridge. Following Little Yan’s plan, he loaded the other M14 in his bag to full capacity before returning outside the dog tunnel. He raised the M14 and fired controlled bursts at Li Yishu.
Li Yishu frantically shook his shield, even leaping into the air as he did so.
“Holy crap!” Little Yan cried. “That isn’t a shield dog. That’s a rabid dog!”
The weakness of the Deep Blue shield was its viewing slit.
Once the slit was shattered, the operator could be instantly headshotted.
But Li Yishu moved and dodged wildly, giving Black Marsh no opportunity at all.
Before long, Black Marsh ran out of ammunition.
Little Yan roared, “Use the grappling hook! Come on, use the grappling hook! Good shield dog, come here—bzz, bzz, bzz…”
Black Marsh said, “Are you really trying to bait a dog?”
At that moment, Li Yishu stood behind his shield without the slightest intention of using the grappling hook.
Inside the livestream—

Qiu Bei: “Why hasn’t he used the grappling hook yet?”
Newspaper Chicken Leg: “The commander is out of ammo!”
Big Dick Brother: “Hook him! Kill him!”
Starfall: “Yishu, what are you doing?”
South Wind Blows: “Yishu, be a man! Take down the commander!”
Li Yishu simply marked Black Marsh and said, “Everyone, look carefully. The gun on Black Marsh’s back is no longer a sniper rifle. He switched to an M14!”
Only then did the fans realize what had happened.
@Your Wife: “Holy crap, he really did switch guns!”
A Yearning: “Another trick?”
Chen Xing from Delta Force: “The bait-the-dog plan. This is Little Yan’s Bait-the-Dog Plan 2.0. I just came over from the commander’s livestream!”
Zero Eighty-Eight: “I’m dying. What happened to all those people urging Yishu to use his grappling hook? Why have they gone quiet?”
Brother Wei: “A bunch of armchair players trying to teach the streamer how to play. Go download the game first!”
Li Yishu immediately crawled into the dog tunnel, refusing to play around with Black Marsh any longer.
Once inside, he dropped a barbed-wire barricade at the entrance and continued farther in.
Little Yan: “Commander, this shield dog is too devious. He isn’t falling for it!”
Black Marsh instantly turned and retreated, circling around to the entrance on the other side of the dog tunnel.
As luck would have it, Li Yishu had already placed another barbed-wire barricade there.
“This shield dog is far too cautious,” Black Marsh could not help saying.
Both entrances to the dog tunnel were blocked by barbed wire.
If Black Marsh entered, Li Yishu would spot him.
Once discovered, Black Marsh would lose his advantage of attacking from behind.
In the narrow dog tunnel, the battlefield belonged entirely to the shield dog.
“Use the small window!” Little Yan said.
Black Marsh immediately maneuvered Wyvern up the steps above the dog tunnel.
He threw a C4 grenade through the window on the left.
Then he used his jet burst to dash to the small window on the right, crouching as he crawled into the dog tunnel.
He crouched low and moved silently across the floor, listening carefully for his opponent’s footsteps.
Once the shield dog activated his ultimate, his footsteps became extremely loud.
There was no way to conceal them.
Little Yan said, “The commander is using a feint! The shield dog will run to the small window on the left to guard it, and the commander will circle around and attack him from behind. The shield dog is finished!”
Black Marsh said nothing. He merely crept out of the room by the small window.
The moment he entered the T-shaped corridor, he saw Li Yishu standing at the junction with his shield raised.
Once again, the two locked eyes.
“Holy crap!”
Black Marsh jumped in fright and hurriedly raised his M14 to fire.
Li Yishu made Deep Blue hop backward while frantically shaking the shield, retreating into the corridor around the corner.

Neither of them could see the other.
But Black Marsh’s ultimate was ready.
He immediately switched to the Tiger-Crouch Cannon.
Boom!
The Tiger-Crouch Cannon fired, its projectile bouncing through the wall and into the corridor.
But Li Yishu, backing away with his shield raised, also saw it.
The moment the shell landed, his shield would be turned aside.
At that point, Wyvern could jet over and kill him instantly.
At the critical moment, Li Yishu locked onto the Tiger-Crouch Cannon and struck it directly with his shield.
The shell was knocked straight back.
Boom!
Black Marsh was blasted off his feet by his own Tiger-Crouch Cannon.
“Holy crap!” Black Marsh let out a despairing roar.
By then, Li Yishu had already charged Deep Blue straight toward him.
Without a word, he struck Black Marsh with another shield bash.
Then he threw down a barbed-wire barricade.
Black Marsh had only just begun to rise when Li Yishu knocked him flat again with another shield bash.
Little Yan shouted, “Commander, run! Run!”
“Where the hell am I supposed to run?” Black Marsh roared.
The moment he got back on his feet, another shield bash sent him crashing down.
His health had fallen to one-third.
Fortunately, his jet burst had recharged.
The instant he rose again, Black Marsh used the jet burst to dodge away, then threw a C4 at Li Yishu.
He immediately ran toward the room with the small window.
The jet burst created distance while the C4 restricted Li Yishu’s movement.
In theory, it should have been enough to hold Li Yishu back.
But Li Yishu did not retreat. Instead, he fired his grappling hook.
“It hit!”
Black Marsh was pulled straight in front of Li Yishu’s shield.
At the same time, the C4 exploded.
Boom!
With only a sliver of health remaining, Black Marsh was killed by his own C4.
Li Yishu took damage as well, but it was not fatal.
After glancing at the loot box on the ground, Li Yishu finally let out a sigh of relief. He removed his shield, lay down on the floor, and began happily looting the fallen gear.
