Chapter 669: This is My Road!

On the beach next to the town of Primorsk.

Liu Zilang, on all fours, crawled with all his might.

On the other hand, Misaka Mikoto, who was in the sea, was swimming with all her might. She reached the shore and ran as fast as she could.

“Shifu, don’t worry! I’ll save you!”

Liu Zilang’s butt had been licked by fire earlier, and his health level was dangerously critical.

The caster had the camera focused on the scene. The live audience members looked nervous!

It was undoubtedly a race against time!

Tick, tock!

Tock, tick!

As seconds went by, Liu Zilang’s health level fell lower and lower. In exactly another second, he would immediately kick the bucket.

However, with only a sliver of health left, a pair of warm hands pressed his scalp!

At that instant, everything else seemed to have stopped, and Liu Zilang’s health loss was stemmed.

Suddenly, he could feel the warm and moist sea breeze brush against his cheeks as the sound of waves serenaded his ears. He looked at Misaka Mikoto who was in front of him, she was now as beautiful as an angel.

At that moment, he felt like crying.

‘I have to treat my silly disciple better next time!’

Misaka Mikoto breathed a long sigh of relief. “That scared me to death! I thought you were a goner, Shifu!” She said while holding a palm against her chest.

Liu Zilang’s face darkened. “It’s alright. I won’t be a goner as long as you’re here.”

‘You’ll have to be the goner first!’

After being revived, Liu Zilang immediately ran toward the warehouse backdoor to loot the cremated K3’s crate.

As luck would have it, the crate was stocked with healing consumables. Liu Zilang looted his fill and then tossed two bandages at Misaka Mikoto whose health level was half full.

Seeing the bandages that Liu Zilang had tossed on the floor, Misaka Mikoto glanced at her own health level and immediately put her hands in front of her. “I don’t need these! All for Shifu!”

“It’s alright. Just take whatever’s given to you.”

Liu Zilang generously spread out his palms and then crouched as he administered a syringe from a first aid kit on himself.

Misaka Mikoto felt the syringe plunge into her heart too.

‘Shifu is so nice to me!’

She joyfully picked up the bandages and then crouched on the ground to wrap herself like a mummy.

The countless viewers in the Chinese live-stream channels breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the scene.

“Oh my god, Menhera-chan is like the angel of salvation!”

“If it were my teammate that time, I would’ve died.”

“I know! The distance between Vic and me is Menhera-chan!”

“What else can I say? I can only admit that it isn’t time for Vic to die yet!”

“Well, it takes some supernatural force to punish sons of b*tches. Mere mortals won’t do!”

“LOLOL that somewhat makes sense.”

“…”

It has to be said that most of the people in the live-stream channels were mere mean-mouthed individuals who had good hearts. Even though they often wished for Liu Zilang’s death, they still cared for him at crucial times.

On the commentary platform.

“That was unbelievable!” Lord Rong’s eyes were bulging. “Frankly, when I saw the three teams land at the three warehouses, along with another team at the restaurant across the road, I had thought that whoever got a gun first after touching down would be the boss.”

Ruo Feng smiled and joked. “Heheh, I think Lord Rong would’ve never guessed the survivors to be Vic and Menhera-chan. They were the only ones without guns after landing!”

“Yup.” Lord Rong smiled dryly as he shook his head. “I just want to emphasize on two lessons that can be learned here. Number one: Vision isn’t really required in competitive esports. Number two: If you’re ever caught in a situation without frag grenades, why not try Vic’s ‘man on fire’ tactic?”

“Haha, better be careful before you set yourself on fire. Make sure your teammates are nearby!” Su Changming said with a smile, “Otherwise you’ll end up like Vic, he nearly killed himself playing with fire.”

“That’s true.” Lord Rong nodded. “Oh! The first safe zone of the match is about to be revealed!”

Just as Lord Rong finished speaking, the countdown timer struck zero.

A huge white circle appeared on the map. The arena became dead silent after everyone saw the circle…

It is worth mentioning again that the flight route of the airplane at the start of the match was a vertical one that flew southward from the left side of the map.

However, the first circle of the map had appeared on the lower right corner of the map. It included Novorepnoye, Mylta Power, and the mysterious patch of sea in between.

One could not immediately discern whether the circle would eventually veer toward the mainland or the island at first glance.

No matter what it was, it was definitely an ‘orphan circle’ with no one inside it!

…

In the match, after Liu Zilang and Misaka Mikoto had looted their fill, they planned on executing an ambush after hearing the sounds of gunfire come from across the road. To be exact, they were coming from from the center of Primorsk.

They canceled their plans immediately after seeing the circle.

“The circle is so far!” Misaka Mikoto’s mouth was opened wide. She continued speaking, “Shifu, Shifu! Where do we go next?”

Liu Zilang looked at the map and listened to the sounds of gunfire that were coming from Primorsk, they had yet ceased.

He pondered over the matter for a short while and then a smile instantly appeared on his face. “Let’s not go anywhere.”

“Ah?” Misaka Mikoto was taken aback.

When the sounds of gunfire died down in town, and when she saw silhouettes of people moving among the residential buildings, seemingly toward their position, Misaka Mikoto finally understood what Liu Zilang was trying to do.

“Shifu, are we intercepting them here?”

“Now you understand?”

 “Ah! I… I already understood it earlier!”

“Then you must be the smartest little devil.”

“…”

After looting the corpses and the two-storied building across the road, they had adequate weapons, scopes, and armor. They were rudimentary but it did the job. Their health levels were also full.

However, one would not become rich unless one struck windfall.

Liu Zilang’s equipment was not up to his expectations. He had only come up with the idea of intercepting their opponents after seeing that the ‘orphan circle’ was very far away. He did not know where the people in town would go.

From behind the door of the northernmost warehouse on the beach, they could intercept the players that either decided to leave on the road or by boat in the sea.

No person came to them. Instead, a speeding yellow car appeared amidst a hail of bullets.

The rear of the little yellow car clanked as bullets struck it. It even had one rear wheel missing!

It was evident that the drivers of the yellow car, which was currently spewing black smoke, had planned to drive between the two warehouses and then get to the shore before leaving by boat.

Upon seeing the car, Misaka Mikoto immediately lifted her gun. Liu Zilang stopped her. “Are you silly? You’ll give away our position if you open fire! What about those people chasing the car?”

Misaka Mikoto thought that her master’s words made sense and immediately unarmed her gun. “Shifu! So… are we letting the car past just like that?” She said with a hint of reluctance.

Liu Zilang watched the approaching yellow car with furrowed brows and then looked at their surroundings.

An idea appeared in his mind!

‘That’s it!’
