Chapter 637: Grenade in the Face!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Clink clank~!

Gunfire rang out from the red XX Hotel building. Sparks flew off the chassis of the pickup truck, and its durability dropped rapidly.

On the road next to the motel east of town, Liu Zilang and Misaka Mikoto hastily jumped off the truck. They were a little bewildered that they were being intercepted.

“Shifu! It looks like we’re surrounded!”

“Then there’s no other choice!”

“Ah? Am I the expendable one again?”

“Your master isn’t that kind of person… wait, what do you mean by ‘again’?”

“…”

While he was speaking, Liu Zilang stood up abruptly from behind the pickup truck and lifted his gun.

Bang!

A sniper bullet whizzed across the air!

However, his opponent reacted quickly.

The instant Liu Zilang stuck his head out, his opponent swiftly hid behind a wall. He was like a cicada that had been startled by the rising wind.

That person was none other than GodV!

GodV and Long Shenjue had been hiding in a low building next to the red building. They had just finished healing themselves when they suddenly heard gunfire.

GodV saw the kill notification with Liu Zilang’s name and realized that he was the one that they had encountered earlier in the red building.

Now that Liu Zilang was trying to leave with his disciple, GodV and Long Shenjue felt like they had to intercept him.

Both of them knew the extent of Liu Zilang’s skills. Hence, they immediately hid themselves after firing a few shots.

‘Such reaction speed!’ Liu Zilang was taken aback when he saw that his shot had missed. He thought that he was facing an unknown expert.

However, as time passed… Liu Zilang noticed that something was amiss.

Whenever he stuck his head out, his opponent immediately hid.

Whenever he crouched, his opponent immediately stuck their heads out again.

After a few cycles, he realized that the opponent was not planning to exchange fire with him. They did not even want to shoot at him, they just wanted him to stay in his spot.

Liu Zilang’s mouth slanted when he thought of it.

‘Who’s this immoral person?’

Liu Zilang was frustrated that he was still in the dark about who the mysterious opponent was.

His original plan was to elope… Well, escape to the slope east of Pecado, camp there and then wait for his prey.

In that case, he and Misaka Mikoto would become the last line of defense for anyone attempting to leave town. He would proudly declare to the world that they were the lords of Pecado!

Looking at their current situation, it was clear to Liu Zilang that their plan had become awry.

“Let’s go to the motel!”

Now that their gunfire had attracted the attention of everyone in Pecado, it was not safe for them to continue hiding behind the truck.

Hearing Liu Zilang’s instruction, Misaka Mikoto quickly followed behind him, and both of them ran toward the motel.

“Looks like Vic won’t be leaving town any time soon. Haha, GodV and Guru Long don’t spare even their own friends.”

“I don’t think the motel is safe though? I remember that the lone wolf who escaped the boxing arena is camping there?”

“Indeed. She’s Pink, a Twitch streamer from Mexico. Her partner was eliminated by Guru Qiu and Sloth in the boxing arena, and now she’s hiding alone in the motel.”

“However, someone touched down at the motel earlier. Hence, the place had been looted clean. Pink only has a P92 on her.”

“Not entirely accurate, she also has a frag grenade. Pink has heard Vic and Menhera’s footsteps. What do you think will happen?

“Oh my god! She took out the frag grenade! What a staunch Western girl!”

The live commentators suddenly raised their pitch, and in turn, made the audience members and live stream viewers anxious.

It looked like Pink was planning a suicide attack. Everyone imagined the scene where Vic was killed by a frag grenade…

They became excited!

Was the little evil-doing scoundrel about to receive his dessert out of justice?

…

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Liu Zilang and Misaka Mikoto arrived at the front entrance of the motel.

Teng teng teng~!

As she mentally judged the distance of her opponent based on their footsteps, Pink’s eyes were transfixed on the closed wooden door in front of her. She had already pulled the pin of the frag grenade in her hand.

One, two, three!

Pink abruptly opened the door and rushed forward.

Unquestionably, even if Liu Zilang managed to kill Pink with his gun in time, Pink’s deathrattle would trigger and take out the two enemy heroes. (TN: ‘Deathrattle’ is an ability in the Hearthstone card game that triggers when the unit dies.)

It was a last-ditch effort in trading a life for a life, and that was the reason why the commentators had said that Pink was a staunch fighter.

The script was written and the scene was set.

However, the denouement was out of everyone’s expectations! Everyone’s jaws dropped to the floor!

On the tournament’s big screen, the moment Miss Pink transformed into an ‘explosive infantry’, pushed opened the door and rushed out…

Liu Zilang’s first reaction upon seeing the door being opened was not to lift his gun and shoot.

Instead, he closed the door!

Closed the door!

The door!

Door!

Bang!

Pink ran head-first into the door. She stood on the spot, petrified.

‘I didn’t know… you can… play like that?’

BOOM!

Naturally, an explosion followed. Its shockwave tore the wooden door into splinters!

However, Liu Zilang and Misaka Mikoto who were outside the door had not even been harmed one bit. They had not taken any damage at all.

As Liu Zilang’s actions in closing the door were too fast, Misaka Mikoto did not clearly see what he had done. She only saw the door briefly open and close.

Then… the door exploded!

“Shi… Shifu?”

“Oh, nothing to worry about. Someone’s playing with grenades inside.”

“Ah? Where did the person go?”

“Exploded.”

“…”

Misaka Mikoto could not resist but peek her head past the door frame to assess the situation. She was stunned…

She saw a corpse hanging from the broken door frame with her legs crossed. The person’s limbs were still twitching…

On the floor, a crate laid silently.

“P1nk killed herself with frag grenade!”

Upon witnessing this historic first, the audience members and live stream viewers were dumbfounded!

“F*ck! How’s that possible?”

“Ermm it looks like the deathrattle got countered…”

“Failed suicide attempt. I feel sorry for Miss Pink…”

“Next victim in line! Um, I mean… next wannabe.”

“LOLOL showing off your grenade skills in front of the God of Grenades? The outcome was nothing but expected.”

“…”

With the front door gone, Liu Zilang and Misaka Mikoto quickly entered the building.

Even though they were not within the safe zone, the building was nevertheless the spot in Pecado that was closest to the safe zone.

Since the other players in Pecado were not in a rush to leave, they also did not have the urgency to do so.

While Liu Zilang was being toyed with by GodV and Long Shenjue, the passionate couple, Li Muqiu and Gao Yunyang, had a tryst with another team north of the boxing arena.

After a battle of wits and courage, the two of them rushed up to their opponent’s faces and killed them.

Other than the three groups of “old pals” in Pecado, there was only one other team in the blue building. The team comprised of Moon from the Korean team Ace, and the Pig Emperor Evermore.

On the caster’s camera, Evermore was seen perched on the rooftop of the blue building. In his hands was an 8x scope Kar98K, and he was aiming at Li Muqiu and Gao Yunyang who were in the north.
