Chapter 20: Li Yishu Outsmarts the Red Wolf; I Am a Tactical Maniac
"Luna? Get over here and provide support!" Red Wolf sounded calm and composed.
"The order is already blown, what's the rush?" Luna, who had been camping at the tourist center extraction point, was fuming.
The boss had been killed twice; even if they won this round, the boss wouldn't be able to enjoy the spoils.
"Luna, hurry over here, kill all three of them, and avenge me!"
"Yes, Sister Muzi!" Luna replied while sprinting toward the administration building.
In Muzi's livestream:
Rainy: "The order is blown, I'm dying of laughter!"
Bath Ball: "The boss got possessed twice, and the bodyguards are too scared to move!"
Hundred Flowers: "I'm just saying, can't we replace these two bodyguards?"
Mao Xiaohua OvO: "The boss is fiercer than the bodyguards, just rushing to die!"
Little Clever: "Muzi, to be honest, we knew your officer's squad was on the balcony. We specifically said carbon fiber plates spawned there just to trick you into going over!"
Muzi completely collapsed, shouting immediately, "Moderator, kick Little Clever out!"
Meanwhile, on the balcony, Little Yan was lying on the ground, using blood packs and bandages. He stared at Heize and asked, "Officer, wasn't that move just now explosive?"
Heize replied, "Little Yishu was certainly explosive!"
"Huh?" Little Yan countered, "I fired too! I beat that Weilong half to death. If Yishu hadn't finished him off, he would've been dead by my hand!"
"Huh?" Heize looked puzzled. "You beat Weilong half to death? Or did Weilong beat you half to death?"
"Fifty-fifty!" Little Yan insisted stubbornly.
"Fine," Heize said. "You said it. I'll check the replay now. You have until I find it to change your story, otherwise..."
"Wait a second, Officer!" Little Yan immediately corrected himself. "I didn't express that accurately!"
"Then say it again," Heize said.
Little Yan declared, "Just now, I scared Weilong half to death. As soon as I fired, he was so terrified he panicked, and then Yishu seized the opportunity to clip his heels. Surely I deserve some credit for the assist?"
"Huh?" Heize laughed. "You're..."
Li Yishu added, "Tactical intimidation!"
"Exactly, exactly!" Little Yan nodded frantically. "Little Yishu, you're so right!"
"You're quick on your feet, I'll give you that," Heize said.
Little Yan asked cautiously, "So... can I loot the body now?"
"Haha!" Heize chuckled. "So that's what this was all about? You were just trying to claim credit so you could loot?"
"Fine, I won't loot then!" Little Yan said. "How can you say that, Officer? I was worried you couldn't handle it, so I was helping you out. I didn't expect you to doubt your own brother like this!"
"Alright, just keep holding the angle," Heize said. He slowly crawled over to Weilong's death crate, but before he could even start, Little Yan shouted, "Officer, don't eat!"
"What are you doing?" Heize asked. "Trying to stop me from looting?"
Little Yan replied, "Red Wolf is still downstairs!"
Heize said, "Aren't you two holding the angle? It's perfectly reasonable for me to loot, right?"
"Reasonable!" Li Yishu nodded. "But I think you should loot quickly, Officer. We can't stay here long."
"Why's that?" Heize asked.
Li Yishu explained, "From the containers to the administration building, Weilong only ever had one teammate with him. If it were a duo, it's impossible for them to be so uncoordinated."
"Makes sense!" Little Yan agreed. "If this squad isn't two people, it must be three!"
Heize asked, "Little Yan, are you saying you know where the third person is?"
"Uh?" Little Yan replied. "Officer, I mean, I'm done talking!"
"Huh?" Heize asked.
"Hmm?" Little Yan asked.
Heize replied, "Hmm!"
In the livestream:
Luzhou Moon: "WTF, what kind of awkward conversation is this?"
Brother Wei: "Listening to Little Yan speak is like listening to Little Yan speak!"
Cold Rainy Night: "Little Yan truly is a master of nonsense literature!"
Auntie, I Kneel to You: "If it's not two people, it must be three. Little Yan is right, I agree!"
Yao Yiyao: "Hey, are you also a graduate of the Asara Bot University?"
Little Yan said, "Hey, Little Yishu, stop keeping us in suspense, tell us!"
Li Yishu immediately said, "It must be Luna, running here from the tourist center!"
"Holy crap!" Little Yan exclaimed. "Are you hacking?"
"Is it that detailed?" Heize asked.
Li Yishu explained, "When we were at the containers, there was the sound of a scanning arrow at the substation. We could identify it as Luna."
"Mhm," Heize nodded.
Li Yishu continued, "But after we performed the 'possession,' Luna didn't come over. There's only one possibility: she went to the tourist center extraction point to block us!"
"Detailed enough," Heize nodded, looking impressed.
Little Yan said, "Little Yishu, there's a loophole. What if Luna is from a different team? What if this squad only had two people?"
Li Yishu replied, "If Luna were from a different team, Red Wolf would have pushed directly. He's waiting for Luna to arrive."
"Holy crap!" Little Yan said. "Officer, we can't stay here. Let me hurry and loot!"
"I'm done looting," Heize said, tossing the Tier 4 gear to Li Yishu. "Little Yishu, you wear the good Tier 4 set."
"Huh? The good Tier 4 set?" Little Yan asked. "Did I not hit a single shot?"
"What do you think?" Heize replied.
Little Yan immediately asked, "Wait a minute, Yishu, where are your Liu Tao and the big red envelope? How did they end up with the Officer?"
"Why so much chatter?" Heize said. "They're all with me."
Little Yan said, "Officer, he's bribing you!"
Heize asked, "Do you have anything you can bribe me with?"
Little Yan: "Uh..."
Li Yishu suggested, "Red Wolf should be sneaking up from the west staircase of the East Building. This position prevents us from being backstabbed. Little Yan, throw a long smoke grenade at the west staircase. You and the Officer run directly to the darkroom. I'll sneak to the side of the East staircase and backstab him!"
"Agreed!" Heize said.
"Alright! I'll throw the smoke!" Little Yan stood up and threw a long smoke grenade into the East staircase.
He then threw another smoke grenade into the small room.
The two jumped into the small room and ran toward the darkroom.
"Exoskeleton activated!" The sound of Red Wolf triggering his ability echoed from downstairs.
If the opponents were camping on the balcony, Red Wolf wouldn't dare push alone. But if they were using smoke to run, that meant they were retreating. This was Red Wolf's hunting moment.
After rushing to the second floor, Red Wolf fired a hand cannon blast into the East staircase and then ran toward the darkroom, attempting to cut off their escape route.
Just then, another sound of an exoskeleton activating came from behind.
It was Li Yishu, rushing out of the balcony with his ability active.
Red Wolf realized something was wrong and instinctively turned to strafe.
Li Yishu performed a sliding tackle.
Then he pulled out his G18!
"Tat-tat-tat!"
The two fired almost simultaneously.
Li Yishu's armor shattered, and he lost half his health.
But Red Wolf collapsed to the ground.
"Tat-tat-tat!"
Another burst of gunfire rang out, and Li Yishu finished Red Wolf off.
"Officer, Little Yan, come over and loot!" Li Yishu immediately crouched in the corner to use blood packs and a surgical kit.
Little Yan: "Huh? Red Wolf is dead?"
"Holy crap, Little Yishu, you're good!" Heize laughed.
