51: Pocket Watch - Bullet Stop

Liu Yan’s pupils widened, and he clearly saw that the blood was flowing from Fuji’s forehead.

No! There’s still a chance!

As long as he killed Chen Yu and rescued Fuji, Fuji could still get out alive!

Whoosh—!

Liu Yan instantly flew out from the second floor of the control room, arriving above and behind Chen Yu in the blink of an eye.

Dudududududu—!

The giant wave’s bullets poured out madly, each shot aimed at the back of Chen Yu’s head.

By the time Liu Yan landed, all of the giant wave’s bullets had been emptied.

Under normal circumstances, such accuracy would have been enough to kill Chen Yu with multiple headshots; even if he were a Leg trimming, it would have been enough to kill him three or four times.

However, the same situation as before occurred again.

Without exception, all the bullets hovered at the back of Chen Yu’s head.

“Out of bullets?” Chen Yu sneered, turning his head.

Liu Yan was completely shocked by the situation before him and raised his hand, preparing to grab the other gun from his back.

Bang bang bang—!

Liu Yan’s right hand was instantly shattered.

Immediately after, Chen Yu raised his gun and shot again, and Liu Yan’s left arm exploded in response.

“I told you, I would kill you in the most severe way,” Chen Yu sneered, looking at Liu Yan.

However, in Liu Yan’s eyes, Chen Yu did not see the fear that others usually showed when facing him.

“Fortunately, the pre-fired shot hit your teammate just now; otherwise, a headshot would have been too easy for you.”

Bang—

Chen Yu stepped forward and kicked Liu Yan to the ground.

“I don’t care how you kill me, but can you let me save him? I’ll give you everything; let him go, and we’ll be even.”

Liu Yan struggled to his feet from the ground and looked at Chen Yu, saying.

“Even? Why?” Chen Yu looked at Liu Yan mockingly, his eyes full of scorn.

“Compared to him, you should worry about yourself. There’s still a chance for minor sequelae with a head injury, but there’s only one spinal cord.”

“Before you become a cripple, let me tell you something ridiculous.” As he spoke, Chen Yu opened his left hand.

Liu Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly. In Chen Yu’s hand was a pocket watch—Sayid’s pocket watch?

“If you had rushed out when I was killing him, you could have killed me directly.”

“But unfortunately, your ridiculous concern for the corpse just gave it time for a second use.”

Saying this, Chen Yu shook the pocket watch in his hand.

Liu Yan stared intently at the pocket watch.

If the pocket watch’s effect was to stop bullets in mid-air, then this effect was a bit too abnormal.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan also understood how Chen Yu had cleared out all of Bakshi’s perimeter in such a short amount of time.

He didn’t need to consider the odds of winning a gunfight; he only needed to ensure he wasn’t ambushed.

Liu Yan turned around, presenting his back to Chen Yu.

“A bet is a bet. Shoot.”

“You’d better pray it hits the spinal cord. If I’m not paralyzed,”

“From now on, in the Third District, there’s me and no you.”

Liu Yan emphasized his tone when he spoke the last sentence.

Seeing Liu Yan still dare to threaten him even when facing death, Chen Yu’s eyes revealed a hint of hatred.

“You wouldn’t think I’d just simply shatter your spine, would you?”

Bang bang—!

Two shots hit Liu Yan’s knees, respectively.

At this point, Liu Yan completely lost his ability to move.

“Heh, the painkiller’s effect shouldn’t last much longer, right?”

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he pulled out a medical kit from his chest rig, walked forward, and began injecting Liu Yan.

During this time, neither of them spoke a word.

However, Liu Yan was somewhat surprised that the enemy could inject him with a blood pack.

As for what Chen Yu wanted to do, Liu Yan knew better than anyone.

In his current state, even a few more shots from Chen Yu would have killed him directly.

After all, the Third District was different from the real world; even multiple shots to the same non-fatal area could still result in death.

Chen Yu replenished his health, or rather, his health bar in the game, but his fractured knees and broken arm still remained.

When the painkillers wore off, all that pain would instantly return.

Bang bang bang—!

Chen Yu continued to shoot Liu Yan, creating wounds, while also remembering to keep restoring Liu Yan’s health.

After repeating this several times, Liu Yan’s entire body was covered in fractures.

The fractures in his knees caused Liu Yan to be sitting on his calves, unable to turn or move, like a condemned prisoner awaiting death.

Chen Yu, meanwhile, slowly sat down on the steps behind him, waiting for the painkiller’s effect to wear off... School conference hall.

“This…”

The students watched the images on the screen, all speechless.

Such cruel methods were something they had never dared to imagine, or even fully conceive of.

“Are people from the Third District… all so cruel?”

“Can this even be considered human? Didn’t God Yan say to give him everything?”

Zhao Chuang, seeing that scene on the screen, now had skin that had turned slightly red from congestion.

“Damn you!!!”

Zhao Chuang angrily slammed the table, and the students nearby all moved aside, wanting only to distance themselves from this overgrown hulk who had gone berserk.

Perhaps because the scene on the screen was too cruel, apart from Zhao Chuang’s curses, the students’ voices also became much quieter, more like murmuring to themselves.

And some with weaker psychological endurance had already closed their eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.

The scene on the screen now was no different from videos on the dark web.

“You there! Which class are you from?! Sit down!”

“Those with their eyes closed, open your eyes right now!”

“If you can’t even bear to watch, then one day when you enter a classified operation, you won’t even have the courage to raise your gun before you start fighting!”

The principal slammed the table in front of him, angrily scolding the students below.

However, the principal’s anger did not stem from the students in front of him.

Teacher Qi rushed forward, grabbed the principal’s collar, and pointed at the screen, yelling:

“I told you to let him hide for a while! Why wouldn’t you force him back?!”

“If he suffers a spinal injury and becomes paralyzed, his whole life will be ruined!!!”

This scene stunned not only the students below but also the teachers nearby and the principal being questioned.

At this moment, Teacher Qi’s eyes were bloodshot, looking as if she wanted to devour the principal.

Only Teacher Liu, Gao Tianyu’s homeroom teacher, knew clearly.

As a sworn rival, Teacher Liu understood Teacher Qi’s love for her students better than anyone.

Although among the teachers, Teacher Qi was the most disliked, not only by students but also by other teachers.

But it had to be admitted, when it came to protecting her students, no one could surpass Teacher Qi.

“Calm down!” The principal forcefully shook off Teacher Qi’s hand.

Seeing Teacher Qi about to punch him, the principal quickly said:

“I promised him ECMO! Even if he becomes paralyzed due to sequelae, it can be treated!”

Hearing this, Teacher Qi’s half-raised fist loosened, and she smoothed out the principal’s collar, which she had just wrinkled.

The principal understood Teacher Qi’s appreciation for talent and didn’t bother to dwell on what had just happened.

If Teacher Qi was angry, wasn’t he as well?

As the principal, seeing someone abuse a student from his school like this, who could possibly hold back?

“Even if we don’t have to worry about sequelae, this pain…” Teacher Qi looked at the screen with concern.

“Well, a tall tree catches the wind. After this incident, it might be a good thing for him to understand that there are always greater heights and greater people.”

After comforting Teacher Qi, the principal also looked at the screen with concern.

At this moment, judging by Liu Yan’s reaction on the screen, it was clear that the painkiller’s effect had worn off.
