Chapter 60: I Anticipated Your Anticipation—Begging Lord Shield for Mercy Is Too Late!
Although Haotian's marksmanship was not bad, Li Yishu's reaction was extremely fast.
The moment he landed, he turned around, raised his shield, and shook his body wildly from side to side.
A dozen bullets poured over, all hitting the shield.
"Don't panic, brothers. Let's pull back and fight outside. That shield dog is a dead man!" With that, Haotian immediately backed out through the rolling shutter door.
Holding his shield, Li Yishu could not squeeze through the rolling shutter door and had to walk out via the front lobby.
By this time, losing sight of Li Yishu, Haotian broke into a sprint and ran straight to the central control bridge.
Seeing that his opponent had run far away, Li Yishu did not give chase. Instead, he turned around and dashed wildly through the rat tunnel toward the direction of the extraction bridge.
At that moment, Haotian returned to the central control building via the zipline.
He scanned the bridge above and below through his scope, but could not find a trace of Li Yishu.
"Don't worry, brothers. The advantage is ours this match!"
"Once inside the core zone, I can't beat a shield dog, but outside, a shield dog is no match for me!"
"There's less than ten minutes left now. Once they've stuffed themselves, they'll definitely pull the switch!"
"Let's cross the bridge from Prison Three, trigger an ultimate ascension first, and make them think I don't dare to fight!"
"Then we activate the console and come back to ambush the shield dog!"
"The shield dog's two teammates can walk away, but the shield dog must die!"
Inside the live stream chat,
Cosmic Invincible Tyrant Dragon: "Holy shit, this strategy is actually viable!"
Innocent Lotus: "The enemy will think you went to trigger the ascension and most likely won't pursue you!"
Class Skipping Representative: "Once you activate the console, you can turn around and hunt people down at the extraction point. If you can't make it to extraction, you can still take the ascension, or at worst, escape via packet loss!"
South Wind Tuning: "It's getting heated, brothers! I'm betting on Haotian this round!"
Half-Immortal Wu: "That shield dog is going to behave himself now!"
Haotian directly jabbed a pink stimulant into his thigh, jetting steam as he ran.
Lacking stamina, he had opted straight for a combat booster.
Just as he reached the Prison Three canning area, he heard the prompt sound indicating that the opponent had already activated the helicopter extraction point.
"Brothers, what did I tell you? The enemy was definitely going to pull the switch, but they're not as fast as me!"
Finishing his sentence, Haotian immediately stepped onto the suspension bridge.
Right at that moment, the system prompted that the rocket ascension extraction point had been activated.
"Holy shit!" Haotian blew his top, instantly hurling a crouching-tiger cannon toward the mission point on the bridge.
"Boom!"
"Enemy unbalanced!"
With a burst of his jetpack, Haotian rushed straight onto the small bridge and sprinted downward.
Lifting his sniper scope, he locked directly onto the ascension mission point.
From this position, the moment his opponent stood up, it would be enough to blow his head off.
Inside the scope, Li Yishu stood up, keeping his shield facing Haotian.
He had anticipated his opponent's strategy long ago.
It was nothing more than crossing the bridge from Prison Three, either going for the ascension or camping the extraction point.
Kezawa and Wang Yuyao had already gone to control the switches.
Therefore, Li Yishu triggered the ascension first and then waited for his opponent on the bridge.
If the other party decided they didn't want to fight anymore, they could honestly take the packet-loss extraction to avoid the conflict.
Li Yishu couldn't be bothered to chase him either.
However, the opponent had opened with a crouching-tiger cannon, clearly indicating he still wanted to fight.
Since you want to fight, I will accompany you to your heart's content.
Li Yishu immediately unequipped his shield, pulled out an M14 rifle, and aimed toward the small bridge.
The moment Haotian exposed his position, Li Yishu opened fire in a frantic barrage.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Holy shit!" Frightened out of his wits, Haotian jumped and skipped back onto the bridge, hiding behind a blue vehicle to heal and buff up.
Inside the live stream chat,
Mu Bai: "Your strategy was predicted by the shield dog!"
Mu Huiran: "The one who shot just now was Shield Bro's teammate. You're done for!"
Dare You Kill Me: "Now you can't leave and you can't win either. Hilarious!"
Nobita's Smile: "If worst comes to worst, let's just take the packet-loss extraction. This match is truly unplayable!"
A Single Buck: "If all else fails, jumping into the water to extract works too. A warrior may be killed, but not humiliated!"
Li Yishu crept forward swiftly, keeping close to the wall the whole way.
At this moment, Kezawa spoke up: "Why is there still gunfire? Is that solo-trio Dragon coming over again?"
"Affirmative!" Li Yishu said.
"Bro, how should we handle this?" Kezawa asked.
Li Yishu replied: "Since he insists on fighting, I'll give him a battle he'll never forget!"
"You got it!" Kezawa said. "I'll have Yuyao go lie low at the extraction point first, and I'll head up to the bridge to cover you!"
"Got it, Officer!" Li Yishu said.
After a short while, the sound of a zipline echoed.
Kezawa went up the bridge and directly crouched at the ascension mission point to cover angles.
By this time, Li Yishu's ultimate ability was ready, and he activated his shield immediately.
After stepping onto the small bridge, he sprinted toward the blue vehicle.
Catching sight of the shield dog, Haotian immediately peeked toward the bridge.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Kezawa shouldered his rifle and opened fire.
"Damn it, I'm surrounded!" Haotian grew increasingly panicked.
Meanwhile, Li Yishu had already charged over with his shield raised.
Meeting face-to-face, he used voice chat to hurl taunts.
"Alright, stop making a fool of yourself here!"
"Go on home, at least you'll keep your life!"
"Have you figured out what to carve on your tombstone?"
Haotian could neither retreat nor dare to charge forward.
In his desperation, he tossed a C4 charge right in front of Li Yishu.
He hoped to use it to force his opponent back.
However, seizing the precise moment, Li Yishu retaliated with a grappling hook.
Haotian tried to use a quick melee attack to cut the opponent's rope, but he was still a step too slow.
"Hooked!"
The next second, Haotian was pulled right in front of Li Yishu.
"Thud!"
A shield bash came first, followed immediately by a deployment of barbed wire.
"Oh, damn it!" Haotian roared: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts like hell!"
Li Yishu countered with another shield bash.
"Thud!"
Having just struggled to his feet, Haotian was knocked flat onto the ground once more.
Haotian was beaten dizzy and disoriented.
"I was wrong, wrong, wrong!"
"Shield Bro, stop hitting me, please don't hit me anymore!"
"Lord Shield, Lord Shield, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Inside the live stream chat,
Mu Bai: "I am dying of laughter. When he can't win, he actually starts calling him Lord Shield, you know?"
Dare You Kill Me: "You don't know you were wrong; you just know you're about to die!"
Extra Pay Brother: "At this rate, even if I stepped in, I wouldn't be able to hold back an enraged Shield Bro!"
Little Mouse Patting Red: "If you had just taken the packet-loss extraction earlier, Lord Shield wouldn't have even chased you!"
Daily Water Jump Extraction: "You should negotiate with the shield dog; if he's in a good mood, he might just let you jump in the water to extract!"
When Haotian struggled to his feet for the third time, he immediately executed a backward jet-dash and flanked around behind Li Yishu.
He swung his knife in a desperate counter-attack.
"I was wrong? Wrong about what?"
"What did I do wrong?"
"Where did I go wrong?"
Li Yishu executed a swift 180-degree turn followed by yet another shield bash.
"Oh, holy crap!" Haotian screamed as he collapsed to the ground, reduced to a sliver of health.
Kezawa, who had been observing all along, laughed: "Bro, he still isn't convinced. He actually tried to knife you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kezawa dialed Little Throat's number.
"Hey, Officer, I'm here, I'm watching the stream!" Kezawa said: "Bro, does this place look familiar to you?"
"Oh, good grief!" Little Throat said: "Officer, you..."
"Hahaha!" Kezawa laughed: "Isn't this your exclusive extraction point?"
Little Throat: "Officer, I..."
Inside Kezawa's live stream chat,
Corn Silk: "What's going on? The moment I step in, I see the shield dog beating up the Dragon!"
Dragon Bro: "Hilarious. The Officer is stuffed and having a good time watching the show, and he still hasn't forgotten to tease Little Throat!"
Faithful Jump: "Little Throat: Officer, you're sprinkling glass shards in my wounds again!"
Useless Little Throat: "The hyper-active Little Throat instantly fell silent the moment he saw the water-jump extraction point!"
Pork Fried Century Egg: "If anyone can keep Little Throat in line, it's gotta be little Yishu!"
