Chapter 652: Curiosity Killed the Cat!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Sh*t!’

In a flash, Gao Yunyang seemed to have remembered something. A sense of danger pressed on his mind like the tip of a dagger!

Gunfire erupted from behind him.

A hail of bullets rained on him like a sudden rainstorm!

Splat! Splat!

Bright red clouds of blood spouted from multiple parts of Gao Yunyang’s body. His health level fell rapidly!

However, as one of the top riflers in the world, Gao Yunyang’s reflexes were superhuman. In random matchmaking matches, he had perfectly executed countless one-hit KO retaliations despite being ambushed from the back.

At this time, even though his health level was hanging by a thread, and it looked like he was going to be knocked out or even killed at any time, he remained calm and composed.

He did not eliminate the possibility that he would die at the end of the encounter, but he was confident in one-hit KO-ing the person that had ambushed him!

The spray of bullets had given him all the information he needed to know about the person behind him, and he swiftly reached a conclusion...

The person was a ‘giant monkey’!

If their positions were switched, and Gao Yunyang was the one ambushing someone from the back, his opponent would not even have the chance to turn around!

Right then, his opponent had provided him with that chance. Gao Yunyang was all too happy to seize it, so he swiftly turned his crosshair around.

Tatatat~!

Fire flashed from his gun’s muzzle and countless bullets whistled across the air!

Those bullets traced a straight line. A straight line of destruction and death!

Splat~!

The first bullet hit Ke Xue’s head. Her health bar fell as if it had jumped off a cliff!

“Oh, sweet father in heaven! Sloth’s reflexes are just too fast!”

“Hiss~! Looks like lil’ sis Ke Xue is about to die soon!”

At that point, the conclusion the live audience had reached was that the retaliatory attack was a success.

However, just when Ke Xue’s health bar was about to bottom out, Gao Yunyang’s head exploded in a cloud of blood!

He fell to the ground, head-first!

His two eyes stared unblinkingly at the sky above him. It felt like a sunny blue-sky day had been interrupted by a sudden rainstorm...

A system notification appeared at the top right corner of the screen.

“4AM-Vic killed Sloth by headshot with SKS!”

Ke Xue’s heart was thumping hard when faced with the scene. She felt like the twists and turns she had faced throughout the encounter had made her more battle-worn than anyone else.

First, Shen Zeyan had flung her together with the motorcycle. Next, she realized that she was being positioned there to set up an ambush from the back. Just when her ambush had failed, and she was about to be killed...

Liu Zilang intervened just in time and pulled her back from the brink of death.

Ke Xue could think of nothing but endless gratitude as she looked at the kill notification with her mouth agape.

“Big Bro Zeyan! Big Bro Vic is such a nice person!”

‘... Nice person?’

Shen Zeyan’s face which was usually emotionless broke when he heard those words. The corner of his lips twitched slightly...

Ke Xue had just finished speaking when her head exploded in a cloud of blood. The last remnants of her health disappeared!

“4AM-Vic knocked out Kikrea by headshot with SKS!”

Ke Xue suddenly felt like an idiot...

On the other hand, Shen Zeyan, who had been motionless all this while, seemed prepared for such an eventuality. While Ke Xue was speaking earlier, he had thrown a smoke grenade toward her.

Pssht~!

Ke Xue was dumbstruck when she saw the smokescreen envelop her just in time!

‘Big Bro Zeyan threw a smoke grenade at me so that he can revive and heal me. How sweet of him!’ She thought pleasantly.

However, she then had a sudden epiphany...

The smoke grenade Shen Zeyan had thrown earlier might not have been to protect her but rather to prepare her funeral rites...

Without warning...

Teardrops fell from her eyes after she had discovered the truth...

...

Swish swish swish~!

On the unfinished building, Misaka Mikoto finally received the go-ahead from Liu Zilang. She crouched and then tap-fired at the smokescreen.

She had emptied half a magazine when she said while frowning, “Shifu... I can’t hit...”

Liu Zilang rubbed his chin as he pondered upon the situation. “Hm... they might have crawled behind the car in the smoke.”

“What do we do now?” Misaka Mikoto asked.

Liu Zilang did not reply.

Instead, he ran down the hallway and hopped onto his motorcycle. “No time to explain, get on!”

Misaka Mikoto’s biggest strength was that she was obedient to a fault. She quickly followed her Shifu’s footsteps and waited for further instructions.

Liu Zilang hopped onto the motorcycle, and Misaka Mikoto followed suit. She hopped onto the motorcycle and hugged his waist.

Vroom vroom vroom~!

The motorcycle’s engine roared to life.

It then sped down the crossbeam, reaching up to 140 km/h in no time!

“Vic seems to have spotted an opening! As far as I know, Master Ze wouldn’t abandon his teammate under such circumstances.”

“That’s right. Vic is a speed demon now! He should be able to reach the location before Master Ze finishes reviving Ke Xue.”

“Master Ze’s situation is a little dangerous now. He might die right here!”

“But hold up. There’s a minibus coming from the east side of town, and I think they’re right in Vic’s path!”

“That’s right. While Vic was driving down the crossbeam, I had the feeling that they would cross paths.”

“Looks like everyone’s having a great time in today’s match. When else would you see a minibus in Los Leones?”

“...”

In the match, Liu Zilang raised an eyebrow when he saw the big blue minibus approaching from his left.

‘Looks like the opponent is looking for trouble!’

Under such circumstances, the typical player might force an emergency brake or change directions. However, a dash of insanity appeared on Liu Zilang’s face. He stayed true to his path and continued downward!

The two players on the minibus were from the North American team Ghost. One of them was Austin, and he had been selected by his team to participate in this charity duo tournament. On the other hand, the other was Trey, the coach of their club.

In a normal tournament, they would not have rushed toward a firefight that was none of their business.

However, Team Coach Trey had seen Se7en’s notifications and heard gunfire. Like a cat who had smelled fish, he coaxed Austin to join in the fray.

He had not forgotten about how his team had been eliminated by an alliance between Liu Zilang and Shen Zeyan in the last match the previous day.

Since their opponents were fighting a ‘civil war’, there was no reason for them to not drop by and check out the situation.

The rumble of the motorcycle drew closer and closer.

Trey looked to the left and right of the minibus. Suddenly, he saw a motorcycle dashing down a nearby crossbeam, it was heading directly toward them.

He shuddered...

‘What are they planning to do?’
