71: Shotgun——Searching for enemies in the void!

Chen Yu looked up in the direction of the sound.

At this moment, Liu Yan was using two grappling hooks, hanging upside down beneath the second-floor corridor platform.

The reason Chen Yu didn't see Liu Yan when he went downstairs and looked around was that Liu Yan was holding the end of the steel wire purely with his hands.

This prevented him from descending to a height where Chen Yu could see him due to the length of the steel wire.

Before Chen Yu could raise his gun, Liu Yan released his hands, and one of them reached into the backpack behind him.

As Liu Yan released his hands, the length of the steel wire caused him to instantly drop to almost the same height as Chen Yu.

Swish—!

The sound of flesh being pierced clearly entered both their ears, and hot blood splattered onto Liu Yan's face, making the scars on his face appear even more ferocious, like a demon crawling out of hell.

Thump—thump—clang—

As Chen Yu's left hand flew off and rolled to the ground, the pocket watch in his hand also fell out.

"Are you still on the same level as me now?"

Liu Yan spoke, enunciating each word.

Chen Yu's eyes widened as he looked at the ceremonial dagger in Liu Yan's hand, his own blood still clearly flowing on it!

Liu Yan had kept this in his backpack ever since he ambushed Chen Yu.

Chen Yu raised his M14 with his right hand, preparing to kill Liu Yan with a single-handed shot.

Seeing this, Liu Yan instantly canceled the Emergency Evasion Device, and he landed on the ground.

Swish—!

Another slash was delivered, and with a spray of blood, Chen Yu's right hand also flew off.

At this point, Chen Yu completely lost the ability to fight back.

Before Chen Yu could speak, Liu Yan kicked him to the ground, then repeatedly struck Chen Yu's spine with his dagger!

"Ah—!" The painkillers wore off, and the bone-deep pain made Chen Yu scream.

Only now did Chen Yu realize how much endurance it must have taken for Liu Yan, with almost every bone broken, to not utter a single sound.

"Just be a cripple honestly. In your next life, don't provoke the wrong person."

Liu Yan returned Chen Yu's exact words to him.

The difference was that Liu Yan survived in desperation, but Chen Yu no longer had a chance.

Thud—!

Finally, Liu Yan plunged the dagger into Chen Yu's back, severing his spine.

"If you take one more step forward, you'll end up like him," Liu Yan said without even raising his head.

At this moment, the boss was trying to sneak up on Liu Yan, but at this distance, his stealthy steps were incredibly loud in Liu Yan's ears.

Hearing Liu Yan's warning, cold sweat instantly broke out on the boss's forehead.

He wasn't even truly stealthy; he was practically shuffling one step at a time.

"Don't... don't kill me. I just have a transactional relationship with him; he's a thug I hired."

"Hmm, I know, so I won't hit your spine."

"As for the after-effects on your head, that depends on your luck."

Whoosh—!

Beep beep beep—!

Liu Yan, who suddenly appeared in the boss's sight, left him no time to react, and he ultimately collapsed to the ground with a look of utter bewilderment.

The reason he didn't hit this boss's spine was simple.

Fuji was also shot in the head at that time.

After killing the two, Liu Yan didn't rush to loot them. He picked up the pocket watch Chen Yu had dropped.

Afterward, Liu Yan went to the Medical Zone to see if he could get lucky and find a resuscitation ventilator.

Liu Yan checked all the resuscitation ventilator spawn points but still didn't see any sign of a resuscitation ventilator.

Helpless, Liu Yan had no choice but to clear out all the supplies in the Medical Zone.

It's worth mentioning that among the medical supplies, Liu Yan once again found a physical strength enhancer.

"I hardly feel tired now; injecting another one would probably be a bit of a waste..."

Thinking of all the help Brother Ji had given him, Liu Yan decided to give this physical strength enhancer to Brother Ji.

After carefully putting away the physical strength enhancer, the other supply points mostly yielded a few small gold items.

"It's still pretty consistent with the game's drop rate, maybe even a bit higher." Liu Yan nodded in satisfaction.

Liu Yan searched the entire interior of the Babel Tower but didn't encounter anyone.

Thinking that the goal for this round had been achieved, Liu Yan organized all the equipment from the five people, went to the top of the Babel Tower, submitted two ID cards, and evacuated.

In this round, Liu Yan earned 4 million, which, of course, wasn't much money to him. The main prize was the pocket watch he took from Chen Yu.

As soon as he exited the entrance, Liu Yan saw a group of medical personnel on the resurrection clearing nearby, trying to save Chen Yu.

"Oh my god! Isn't that Chen Yu? Who's so capable as to beat him up like this?"

"Probably some old fox ambushed him from behind, tsk tsk, a spinal injury, he's probably going to be paralyzed for the rest of his life."

"That old fox is probably going to face retaliation."

"Retaliation my ass, Chen Yu won't even be able to stand up anymore, how's he going to retaliate?"

"Come on, do you think the action company Chen Yu is affiliated with would just let Chen Yu be paralyzed without doing anything?"

Liu Yan also went over, standing in the crowd, looking at Chen Yu lying on the ground being treated by the medical personnel.

At this moment, he finally understood why murderers always return to the crime scene.

After a series of treatments with surgical packs and first aid kits, Chen Yu slowly opened his eyes.

But very quickly, he realized that he was paralyzed. Aside from his eyes, breathing, and mouth, no part of his body could move.

However, in Chen Yu's eyes, there was no fear due to paralysis; instead, it became more violent and malicious.

For injuries like a broken leg, the company naturally wouldn't use ECMO on him, but for paralysis, the company definitely wouldn't ignore him.

But what concerned Chen Yu was his reputation!

Previously, when his leg was broken, he was talked about for so long.

This time, being paralyzed, he didn't know how his gossipy colleagues would mock him when he returned!

Thinking of this, Chen Yu could no longer suppress the unwillingness and anger in his heart, and he roared furiously at the sky:

"I, Chen Yu, swear to fight you to the death!"

Bang—!

Everyone present froze in place, looking in shock at Chen Yu lying on the ground.

At this moment, blood was slowly flowing from the bullet hole in Chen Yu's forehead.

Outside the action zone, someone died... it was no different from dying in reality, unable to be resurrected... Compared to the astonishment of others, Liu Yan's pupils were completely wide with shock at this moment!

His extremely strong dynamic vision allowed him to clearly see the flash of red light that passed in that instant!

He had seen that red light before, and he had searched for it for a long time at that time... "smoothbore gun..."

Liu Yan's breathing became rapid.

He recalled what he had thought when he was handling the smoothbore gun back then.

To kill Chen Yu in the future... Similarly, as soon as Chen Yu uttered his name, he was precisely shot in the head by a bullet from the smoothbore gun, and it ignored space!

At this instant, Liu Yan realized that besides the resuscitation ventilator, his top priority was to ensure that he had at least one heaven is round, earth is square in his possession!

Otherwise, once an enemy possessed a smoothbore gun, he could die suddenly and unknowingly at any time, just like Chen Yu!
