Chapter 673: Don’t Shoot, I’m a Friend!
In the airdrop crate below the cliff.
MK14!
7.62mm bullets!
Extended Mag!
Ghillie Suit!
…
Misaka Mikoto was dumbfounded as she looked at the edge of the cliff. Soon after, she lowered her head to look at Liu Zilang with a confused expression.
The contents of the crate were not important to her at that time. What was important was the people who had arrived to snatch the loot but then left midway.
She looked toward the clifftop once again.
Liu Zilang noticed her silly-looking face. Without giving an explanation, he said, “Stop looking around. Let’s make a getaway after you pick up the loot!”
“Oh, oh!” Misaka Mikoto reacted promptly after hearing her master’s words.
She remembered that Liu Zilang had said that she had first dibs over the contents of the crate.
However, Misaka Mikoto found it hard to choose between the Ghillie suit and the MK14.
‘MK14?
‘Ghillie suit?
‘The two are both perfectly good choices!’
However, she was still a child. Hence, she did not covet everything unlike how an adult would.
After pondering over the matter, Misaka Mikoto stole a glance at Liu Zilang and then grabbed the MK14 with her hands.
“I want this one!”
Liu Zilang’s eyelid twitched when he saw what she had chosen.
‘Are you going to hit anyone with that? Why not just take the ghillie suit and be a caterpillar on the ground?’
However, he had promised to let her choose first. Hence, to protect his image as her master, he did not go back on his words.
He quickly picked up the ghillie suit and then beckoned to Misaka Mikoto to get on the boat. They continued basking in the sun after that.
There was no indication of where the next circle would refresh, so they did not have to go ashore any time soon.
The ‘exchange of gunfire’ earlier was short. However, it had perfectly conveyed the two teams’ wishes to one another.
GodV’s first volley said, “We saw the airdrop crate first.”
Then, Liu Zilang replied, “Finders keepers.”
Long Shenjue retorted, “That’s not fair.”
Liu Zilang replied, “Say goodbye to your level three helmet then.”
GodV took a step back and then fired a counteroffer. “We all saw it first. How about we each take half?”
Liu Zilang replied, “Nah, that’s too fake. Next time there’s an airdrop, just give the signal. We’ll help you secure it.”
The ‘friendly conversation’ ended there. GodV did not expect Liu Zilang to offer them help to secure an airdrop crate since they were rare to come by.
They forwent the airdrop crate because they might not have stood a chance if they had fought it out. Not to mention, Misaka Mikoto was the one who had killed both of them in the previous match.
They felt that Liu Zilang’s silly disciple was somewhat incomprehensible, so they decided not to take her lightly. Thus, they reluctantly gave up on the airdrop crate.
Afterward, Long Shenjue and GodV ‘returned home’, retracing their earlier path. They wanted to head back to camp at Mylta Power before the blue circle started shrinking.
They had just reached ‘home’ when they heard the sound of a vehicle come from behind them.
They turned around and scoped in to see who it was. They were surprised to see a three-wheeled motorcycle stop not too far away.
Two people jumped out.
‘Who were they?’ They instantly became cautious!
Just then, they heard a series of gunshots come from them.
Tatat~!
Tatatat~!
Ta~!
Tata~!
Long Shenjue and GodV breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the familiar sequence.
However, they immediately became suspicious. “Where did those two people find a three-wheeled motorcycle, and how did they manage to follow us from behind so quickly?”
“Hm, why are they following us anyway?” GodV guessed, “Don’t tell me they want to ‘cohabitate’ with us?”
“Cohabitate?” Long Shenjue shook his head. “I don’t think so? Isn’t that a little too much?”
It was fine to exchange secret codes every once in a while in a match. Moreover, if they wanted to fight, there was nothing that could be done.
However, for four people to live together in a common ‘courtyard’, it was a little too much.
Long Shenjue immediately gave them a warning as he fired his gun.
Unexpectedly, the two people hopped onto their three-wheeled motorcycle, and while driving over, fired the same sequence of shots.
“What are they doing? Long Shenjue was a little confused.
“Tell them that if they come, we’ll open fire at them,” GodV said urgently.
“Sure!” Long Shenjue laughed wickedly. “I’ll fire a shot to scare them a bit.”
As he spoke, he lifted the M416 in his hands and then sprayed a volley at the front of the three-wheeled motorcycle!
Swish swish swish~!
A stream of bullets whizzed across the air!
They hit the ground in front of the three-wheeled motorcycle. Grass and soil flew everywhere.
The three-wheeled motorcycle abruptly skidded and then came to a stop. The person in the third passenger seat did not hop off the motorcycle but instead lifted the SKS in his hand.
Bang bang bang~!
Flashes were seen from the gun’s muzzle!
A stream of bullets came flying!
Splat!
Long Shenjue was dumbfounded when a sniper bullet struck his head.
His level three helmet, which had taken two bullets from Liu Zilang, was immediately shattered by this sniper bullet! His health level fell by more than half!
‘Mooom!’
Long Shenjue immediately started his ‘snake dance’. After taking another shot on his body, he managed to hide behind the low wall that surrounded the Factory at Mylta Power.
“F*ck! That b*stard is playing dirty!” he said angrily while looking at the sliver of health he had left.
“That shouldn’t be. Didn’t we have an agreement?” GodV felt a little frustrated. “Unless the caster’s camera is on us, and he’s putting up a front?”
“Impossible!” Long Shenjue immediately retorted as soon as he heard GodV’s words. “That kid is deliberately aiming at me! If he’s just putting up a front, it’s too real!”
“Heheh, well, it’s not impossible,” GodV replied while smiling, “Or maybe you accidentally shot him earlier? We know that he likes to hold grudges.”
As he healed himself, Long Shenjue tried to recall the events that took place previously. “That can’t be, you know my gun skills… ahem, I mean, I’ve been aiming at the ground in front of the three-wheeled motorcycle all this while. You know how accurate I am, I’m sure that not a single bullet hit him!” He shook his head.
“That’s strange then.” GodV scratched his head. He positioned his camera behind the low wall and then scoped in with his AK that was equipped with a 4x scope. “Let me try.”
He fired the secret code again, and the other party replied almost immediately.
“Yup, that’s him alright. It can’t be wrong,” GodV said as he turned to look at Long Shenjue.
He had just finished speaking!
However, the other person appended an extra ‘chorus’ at the end of the secret code!
Tatatat~!
Tut tut tut~!
A hail of bullets flew toward GodV’s head and face like a rainstorm!
Splat!
Splat!
The sound of bullets penetrating a helmet was heard.
At that time, GodV’s head was turned to one side, and his concentration was split. That was when his level two helmet shattered, and he fell head-first to the ground!
A system notification appeared on the top right corner of the screen.
“Sloth knocked out 4AM-GodV by headshot with AKM!”
‘That’s… a friend, right?’
Both of them were petrified…
