75: Three ghosts knocking on the door

Liu Yan used the microphone to direct Zhao Chuang all the way into the control room.

"Let's go, to the top of the tower, loot and evacuate." After Liu Yan dropped that command, he was the first to take the zipline to the top of the tower.

This was Liu Yan's route for the entire day.

No matter where he was, he would enter the tower, kill, loot, and leave immediately.

Efficiency was his priority.

After going upstairs from the control room, Liu Yan immediately opened the safe and found an ox horn.

Liu Yan disdainfully threw the ox horn to the ground.

This scene was just witnessed by Fuji, who had come up later.

"Hey! That's good stuff, how can you throw it away!"

Fuji carefully picked it up, as if it were a treasure, and put it away.

This round also didn't refresh the heaven is round, earth is square, indicating that the drop rate was not high this round.

Just as the three were engrossed in looting, Liu Yan suddenly heard footsteps from downstairs.

They were very close, already at the elevator next to the Medical Zone.

"Someone's here! You two hide!"

Liu Yan whispered the order to the two.

Then Liu Yan rushed to the stairs at the fastest speed and ran upstairs.

He wanted to set up an ambush before the opponents could run out into the corridor.

This team was clearly three well-trained 'old sixes' (a term for sneaky players).

Only when the three reached the elevator shaft did faint footsteps and equipment collision sounds become audible.

Were they the three from the front door at the start? Did they run away to give false information, and then slowly crept back?

Liu Yan pondered as he ran.

If that were true, to have crept in from the very beginning, and only reached the side elevator after all three had gone upstairs...

The patience of these three people was truly terrifying.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Three enemies successively ascended to the top of the tower via zipline.

The sounds clearly reached Liu Yan's ears.

Fortunately, Liu Yan had already reached the corridor ahead of time, setting up an ambush at the three's exit.

Once the three passed the corner, Liu Yan could directly kill them.

To be safe, Liu Yan had also placed an Emergency Evasion Device in the middle of the corridor beforehand.

Liu Yan waited for a while, but the three made no move.

However, their increasingly strong heartbeats constantly told Liu Yan that they were gradually approaching the exit.

Bang—!!!

A tiger squat cannon perfectly ricocheted and flew towards them.

Bang—!!!

Just as the tiger squat cannon was about to bounce in, a massive shield slammed into it, sending it back!

Bang—!!!

The tiger squat cannon exploded to the side, and at this distance, it naturally didn't hit Liu Yan.

At the same time, three sets of hurried footsteps sounded simultaneously!

Liu Yan could hardly believe his ears.

Through the sound of the shields colliding, Liu Yan could now confirm that all three were Shield Dogs!

The explosion of the tiger squat cannon now became the charge signal for the three Shield Dogs!

Three ghosts knocking on the door!

At this moment, unpleasant memories hidden deep within Liu Yan's heart surged forth!

For a solo player, the most terrifying nightmare was not encountering escorts, or even hackers.

It was encountering three Shield Dogs, especially indoors.

Dudududu Dududu—!!!!

Liu Yan accurately hit the observation window of one of the Shield Dogs, but it had no effect.

Clearly, while the observation window inherited the strength from the game, the penetration rules were also the same as in the Third District.

The Level 5 bullets from Liu Yan's giant wave assault rifle clearly posed no threat.

Although two bullets passed through the observation window, they still failed to kill this Shield Dog!

Shield Dogs all wear Level 5 helmets... Whoosh—!!!!

Liu Yan didn't even think, immediately using the Emergency Evasion Device to pull himself back to the middle of the corridor!

Whoosh—!!!!

A grappling hook accurately hooked Liu Yan's thigh, pulling him back.

The moment Liu Yan heard the grappling hook fire, he pressed the pocket watch in his hand, but it had no freezing effect.

It seemed the pocket watch was only effective against bullets.

Swish—!

Realizing this, Liu Yan instantly pulled out the ceremonial dagger from his waist and cut the grappling hook.

In the game, if you were hooked, a quick melee attack could prevent you from being pulled away.

And in the Third District, the margin for error was a bit higher than in the game.

Even so, Liu Yan did not relax his guard.

Whoosh—!!!!

The instant he cut the grappling hook, Liu Yan used power propulsion to dart away into the distance.

Whoosh—!!!!

A second grappling hook hit Liu Yan again.

At this moment, Liu Yan wanted to curse, annoyed by Shield Dogs in the game, and now annoyed by them in the Third District too!

Swish—!

Liu Yan again swung his knife, cutting the rope on the grappling hook.

With the boost from the Explosive Auxiliary Spine, he immediately rolled, trying to create distance again!

Whoosh—!!!!

The third grappling hook arrived as expected at this moment.

Swish—!

Liu Yan again cut the rope on the grappling hook!

The three Shield Dogs had clearly used this method to torment others many times.

With three people taking turns to hook, even with Liu Yan's numerous movement abilities, he still couldn't escape their clutches.

Although Liu Yan ultimately managed to avoid being pulled back, the consecutive attempts just now still wasted a lot of time.

Bang—!!!!

One of the Shield Dogs delivered a shield bash, knocking Liu Yan completely to the ground.

Damn it!

Liu Yan quickly tried to get up!

Bang—!!!!

The second Shield Dog rushed forward.

The three repeatedly bashed Liu Yan like this, making him feel a churning in his stomach, as if his internal organs were about to be dislocated.

Clank clank—

Clank clank—

Iron barbed wire instantly covered the entire corridor.

The Shield Dogs, wearing riot gear, were only slightly affected in speed, but otherwise unharmed.

But this was undoubtedly taking Liu Yan's life.

Frustrating!

It was so damn frustrating!

If the three weren't Shield Dogs, Liu Yan had too many ways to take them down without taking damage.

In despair, two hurried footsteps came from the corridor!

It was Fuji and Zhao Chuang!

If the two were to backstab from behind now, they could easily take down these three Shield Dogs!

"Someone's coming! You two turn around and deal with them, this one's mine!"

With that, the Shield Dog looked at Liu Yan, who was trying to get up.

Bang—!!!!

Liu Yan was again knocked to the ground.

The other two Shield Dogs raised their shields and advanced towards the direction Fuji and Zhao Chuang were coming from.

The remaining Shield Dog continued to repeatedly bash Liu Yan.

"Brother Yan!!"

Zhao Chuang had just turned the corner when he saw this infuriating scene.

"Liu Yan!!" Fuji also looked furious.

The two had initially followed Liu Yan's instructions and hidden downstairs.

But as Liu Yan's gunshots abruptly stopped, followed by the sounds of impact, the two sensed something was wrong.

Given Liu Yan's strength, it was impossible for him to take so long to deal with the opponents.

Moreover, it was impossible for him to be beaten and only fire so few shots!

Realizing something was amiss, the two no longer obeyed Liu Yan's initial instruction to hide and quickly rushed upstairs.

Then they saw this scene.

Bang bang bang bang—!!!!

The two pulled their triggers, spraying bullets at the two Shield Dogs.

But the reason Shield Dogs are called Shield Dogs is precisely because of their rogue shields.

Even when their bullets ran out, they failed to cause any damage to the shields.

Seeing the two run out of bullets, a victorious smile appeared under the helmet of one of the Shield Dogs.

"They're two idiots, we're going to feast this round!"

Saying that, this Shield Dog raised his grappling hook gun and aimed at the two.

At the same time, Liu Yan, who was almost bashed to death, shouted loudly in Zhao Chuang's direction:

"They don't have guns!!! Just run! Don't look back..."

Bang—!!!!

Liu Yan was again knocked to the ground.

At this point, Liu Yan only needed to be hit one more time before he would meet his demise.

Zhao Chuang only understood half of Liu Yan's warning: that the opponents didn't have guns.

With his bullets empty and Liu Yan in grave danger, Zhao Chuang knew he had to do something.

Damn it, I'm going to burst with them!

Whoosh—!!!!

The grappling hook accurately hit Zhao Chuang's chest.

"Heh, still trying to run?"

The Shield Dog who hit Zhao Chuang with the grappling hook sneered, then pressed the retract button on the grappling hook.

Hmm?

The Shield Dog froze for a moment, then pressed the retract button on the grappling hook gun again, puzzled.

Zhao Chuang still stood in place, completely motionless.

"Damn it, I don't believe it!" The Shield Dog, not believing his luck, exerted all his strength and pulled back.

"Hmm?"

The scene the Shield Dog imagined didn't happen; instead, his own feet suddenly felt light, and he flew forward.

Zhao Chuang had wrapped the rope of the grappling hook several times around his right hand, making it easier to exert force.

The Shield Dog was pulled back in front of Zhao Chuang, he looked up, and his eyes met Zhao Chuang's, which were somewhat red with anger... "You motherfucker, were you having a lot of fun just now?"
