Chapter 59: The Strictest Father in History, Haotian Instantly Overheats and Breaks Down

"Don't worry, brothers. It doesn't matter that the shield dog is taunting me. Just watch how I take him down in a second!"

With that, Haotian directly switched to his blade and stood face-to-face with Li Yishu.

This was undoubtedly a god-given opportunity, and Li Yishu instinctively fired a grappling hook.

The exact moment the hook connected, Haotian used his blade to slice through the rope.

In the live stream chat,

Delta Newbie: "Holy shit, you can actually break the shield dog's grappling hook?"

Mubai: "Wait, is the person above a grade-schooler? This is such a standard play, okay?"

Dare You Kill Me: "Is this bastard too scared to shoot now?"

A Little Shark: "Can you even knife the shield dog?"

Dreaming of Being a Genius: "Seriously though, how are you even supposed to fight this?"

At that moment, Haotian suddenly switched to his Crouching Tiger Cannon.

Li Yishu stood completely motionless.

Haotian feigned an aim at Li Yishu's feet, then shifted slightly to the left, striking the wall.

The projectile bounced off the wall and landed right on the corner of the stairs.

The moment Li Yishu tried to run upward, he would inevitably be hit in his side shield by the blast.

Capitalizing on this, Haotian tossed a C4 onto the upper level, then used his jetpack to thrust around and catch his opponent's back.

Yet Li Yishu simply stood there, unmoving.

Because his keen observation had caught the trick behind Haotian's Crouching Tiger Cannon placement.

"Boom!" The trap detonated on empty air.

"What the hell?!" Haotian was dumbfounded. "He didn't even move?"

In the live stream chat,

Hahaha: "I'm dying of laughter. Is the shield dog AFK?"

Executioner: "Wait, was that a deliberate miss?"

Heavenly Youth: "Tactical deception failed, the shield dog is as steady as an old hound!"

Bizarre: "This is getting interesting. The guy on the other end is definitely a pro!"

Dare You Kill Me: "Haven't you guys figured it out yet? Shield Bro didn't even charge down; he was just waiting for Haotian to fire!"

Mubai: "This right here is the ultimate disrespect!"

Haotian, who was usually so composed and clear-headed, suddenly panicked a little.

He was steady, but his opponent was even steadier.

At that moment, Li Yishu hopped back on voice chat to taunt him.

"Alright, stop making a fool of yourself here!"

Haotian lost his composure. Two mistakes, two rounds of taunts from the opponent.

He immediately switched to his AWM and aimed straight through the enemy's view port.

Li Yishu executed a massive jump, swaying left, right, and left again.

"Bang!"

The AWM bullet fired, effortlessly caught by Li Yishu's shield.

In the live stream chat,

Mubai: "There's only one AWM bullet left. Are you still gonna shoot?"

Dare You Kill Me: "The shield dog is treating you like a pet on a leash!"

Scroll: "This is absolute domination. If the shield dog actually wanted you dead, he'd just drop down, smash you with a couple of shield bashes, and you'd be history!"

Xiao Ming Eats Xiao Li: "Bro, take my advice. This shield dog has some weird voodoo about him. Better pull out and ascend while you still can!"

Auntie's Mustache is Curved: "The sternest father in Solos, Nicholas the Shield Dog!"

Bridge-Blocking Expert: "If he were playing Luna or Uluru, the shield dog would be dead a long time ago!"

Accused by his fans of cheating, Haotian didn't care in the least.

However, being toyed with by a shield dog and mocked by his own chat was completely intolerable to Haotian.

He immediately switched to his M14 and aimed at the view port once more.

"Rat-tat-tat-tat!"

Bullets flew in a frantic barrage.

Li Yishu raised his camera angle, executing a massive jump combined with erratic shield swaying, frantically absorbing every single round.

All fifty gold rounds were depleted without even cracking the enemy's view port.

The exact second Haotian started reloading, Li Yishu pulled off a 180-degree spin-jump.

On the other side of communications, Heize asked, "Bro, what's your situation over there?"

Li Yishu replied, "Commander, enjoy your loot in peace. I'm just playing around with the Ronin for a bit!"

"Good brother, you're actually having fun?" Heize chuckled. "You really don't need me to head over?"

"Not at all!" Li Yishu answered firmly.

Right then, Wang Yuyao also chimed in, "Go get 'em, big brother! I'll keep organizing the backpacks!"

"Will do!" Li Yishu resumed his voice chat taunts.

"Go on back home, at least you'll keep your life!"

Haotian was thoroughly tilted.

The shield dog trick didn't work, the AWM was useless, and his gold-tier M14 rounds felt like splashing water—completely useless.

In a fit of rage, Haotian turned and lobbed a C4 explosive right at the enemy's feet.

Li Yishu didn't throw his grappling hook, knowing full well the enemy would use a quick melee strike to sever it mid-air.

That would leave him with no escape route.

Instead, he broke into a sprint and dived down the stairs.

Seizing the opening, Haotian immediately tracked him with M14 fire.

"Rat-tat-tat-tat!"

Yet Li Yishu's reaction time was blistering; he spun, jump-shielded, and soaked the gunfire.

Half a magazine later, he emerged completely unscathed.

"Playing a shield dog and still wearing the Liu Tao skin? I've never seen such an arrogant shield dog in my life!" Haotian completely snapped.

In the live stream chat,

Mubai: "Well, now you have!"

Dare You Kill Me: "Saw my Shield Bro and now you're acting civilized? Why don't you just toggle your DMA on!"

Domestic Abuser: "I doubted Haotian was legit earlier, but now I formally apologize to him!"

Loves Washing Aunties' Feet: "Brothers, it's set in stone now—Haotian genuinely isn't cheating!"

Granny Wants Me to Walk by the Wall: "I'm dying. No need to check his hardware anymore; we get to watch Haotian's shameful end-stream right now!"

Li Yishu could tell the opponent was out of tricks and his mental state was on the verge of collapse.

He slowly began advancing forward.

Haotian hurriedly retreated upstairs, and the moment Li Yishu was out of sight, he bolted in a panic up the staircase.

Li Yishu hoisted his shield and gave chase at a dead run.

In Haotian's live stream chat,

Mubai: "Bro, where's your strategy? Where's your game sense?"

Dare You Kill Me: "You weren't scared of a Ronin dropping from the sky, but Shield Bro just standing there scared you off?"

Fearless of Everything: "He who adapts to circumstances is a wise man; if I can't beat 'em, I run!"

Fufeng: "I honestly can't stop laughing. Are all Solo streamers this terrified of shield dogs?"

I Really Appreciate It: "Whichever designer came up with the shield dog, I want to thank his entire family!"

At that moment, Heize heard the footsteps as well, and immediately signaled Wang Yuyao to back up silently into the corridor.

Haotian, rushing over in a blind panic, glanced into the corridor.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Heize opened fire instantly.

"Holy shit, there's two of them?!"

Frightened out of his wits, Haotian hit his jetpack and dashed toward the access ladder.

Leaping down without even waiting to press the interaction key, he took severe fall damage upon landing.

In the live stream chat,

Stir-fry: "Damn, that shield dog is terrifyingly strong!"

Mubai: "The loot box on the floor must be from that squad of Red Wolves that tried to run away earlier!"

Curtain Call: "Leaving two teammates behind to loot while he goes solo—this shield dog radiates absolute confidence!"

Dare You Kill Me: "I love the shield dog so much. I fucking adore the shield dog!"

Loving You Most Before Checkout: "If all three of them had pushed together, Haotian wouldn't even have had a chance to touch the ladder!"

Meanwhile, Li Yishu had sprinted to the top floor.

Just as Heize was heading toward the ladder to deal with Haotian, Li Yishu called out, "Commander, we're out of time. You and Sister Yuyao go loot the second floor; I'll go hunt down the Ronin!"

"Holy crap!" Heize laughed. "Bro, are you trying to be this considerate?"

"Naturally!" Li Yishu said. "You two just focus on holding the switch!"

"Got it!" Heize replied.

Li Yishu immediately peered through the glass window to survey the area below the buoyancy tank.

Spotting Haotian crouched by the rolling shutter door healing himself, Li Yishu vaulted straight down.

Almost simultaneously, Haotian switched weapons and unleashed a spray of gunfire at Li Yishu.

"Rat-tat-tat-tat!"
