14: Chapter 014 I can't live, kill me.
There was no other choice; facing an enemy several times their size, engaging them head-on was not a wise decision.
Fighting urban warfare and kiting them was the best strategy.
Now, only eight of them remained, while the enemy had at least thirty or forty.
"Oh no, there are devils on the left too!" the player walking in front suddenly shouted.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye's expression changed.
With devils both in front and behind, they were being given no way out.
"Fight! Let's charge out!" Wang Ye gritted his teeth and said with a fierce expression.
They had to fight now.
They were surrounded; if they didn't fight, they would be wiped out.
The other players, hearing Wang Ye's words, also shouted, "Fight!"
They had nothing to lose; if they couldn't win, they could just start the next round.
Having been chased for so long, they felt incredibly frustrated.
They fixed bayonets to their rifles, quickly threw two grenades, and then peeked out to fire at the enemies on the left.
The devils on the left were stunned by the sudden grenades.
By the time they reacted, Wang Ye and the others had already run past them.
The devils quickly gave chase.
Wang Ye and his group, having just escaped the encirclement, hadn't even caught their breath when gunfire erupted from behind again.
The high-intensity, long-distance, and prolonged running had pushed their physical stamina to the limit.
This was still with their virtual bodies; if it had been their real bodies, running a single kilometer would have been a struggle.
Not to mention they were carrying over a dozen pounds of gear and had still managed to run for so long.
Zhou Xiaoyi no longer needed Li Yan to pull her; she was able to run on her own.
However, Li Yan's condition was not good.
Because his arm was still bleeding, the constant running was causing him to lose blood even faster.
His face was pale; he had been using his clothes to tightly wrap his arm above the wound to prevent excessive blood loss.
Only then did Wang Ye realize that Li Yan was injured.
Finding a temporary cover, Wang Ye walked over to Li Yan.
He took out a bandage and bandaged Li Yan up.
Although it was called bandaging, in reality, it was just binding the arm to prevent excessive bleeding.
They had absolutely no medical supplies on them.
"Can you still walk?" Wang Ye asked.
"I can, Squad Leader." Enduring the pain of the wound, Li Yan nodded firmly.
At this moment, the devils closed in again.
Suddenly, Wang Ye saw two dark shadows thrown over.
After seeing what they were, he immediately tackled her down and shouted, "Get down!"
With two explosions, several wails rang out.
Zhou Xiaoyi saw a player whose leg had been blown off, and her face turned deathly pale.
That bloody scene shocked her to the core.
She was lucky; she hadn't been hit by the grenades.
But the others were not so fortunate.
"Ah, it hurts so much, kill me quickly!"
The player wailed on the ground, clutching his severed leg.
At this moment, Wang Ye spat out a mouthful of blood.
He felt some pain in his back, as if he had been grazed by flying shrapnel.
He saw the wailing player constantly screaming to be killed, his eyes bloodshot.
That player was very unlucky; the grenade had exploded right beside his leg.
Next to him was another person whose arm had been blown off; the skin and muscle were still attached, but the bone was already broken.
That player did not wail; instead, he remained silent, covered in sweat.
At this moment, Li Yan stood up.
He walked over to the player with the severed leg.
The player with the severed leg saw Li Yan, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and asked him to kill him.
Upon hearing this, Li Yan's eyes filled with grief.
He picked up a pistol.
A gunshot rang out, and a bullet hole appeared on the player's temple, ending his suffering.
Zhou Xiaoyi stood frozen in place; she couldn't believe that Li Yan had actually killed that player.
"Why did you kill him?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"He couldn't survive. Instead of letting him die in agony, it's better to end his suffering sooner. If I were to become like him, I would hope that you could also grant me release."
Li Yan's voice was extremely heavy.
His words caused Zhou Xiaoyi to fall silent.
Wang Ye also felt a tightness in his chest.
At this moment, in Wang Ye's livestream room, the viewers heard Li Yan's words and all fell silent.
After a moment, someone finally sent a message.
"He's just an NPC, but to him, that was his comrade-in-arms. To personally send off his own comrade, how painful must he feel inside?"
"Although I know doing this is right, why do I feel so uncomfortable inside?"
"If it were me, I would probably choose to do the same."
"No, I'm just watching a game livestream, why am I getting so emo?"
However, in this situation, they couldn't afford to continue being sad.
The devils were coming.
The other player with the severed arm heard Li Yan's words and revealed a pale smile on his face.
"I can't run anymore. You guys hurry and go; I'll cover the rear."
Although his arm was severed, he didn't feel much pain.
However, he knew he couldn't escape.
Instead of being chased to his death, it was better to stay behind and take those bastards out.
Seeing this, Wang Ye hardened his heart and said, "Go."
After all, they were players, not truly dead.
There was no need to dwell on it too much.
At this time, in this player's livestream room, the viewers were all spamming "teary-eyed" emojis.
They had never seen such a scene of self-sacrifice.
There were even people spamming "Rest in peace, Old Wolf."
I Am Carrying The Wolf watched the "Rest in peace" messages, his forehead full of black lines.
"No, I'm playing a game! Since I can't run anyway in this situation, I might as well take out a few more devils and buy time for them to retreat."
After speaking, he looked towards the street corner, waiting for the devils to come up.
The blood on his hand was still flowing continuously.
He could feel the strength in his body draining away.
Soon, he saw several devils wearing navy blue uniforms appear in his line of sight.
The devils walked up to him.
At this moment, I Am Carrying The Wolf was covered in blood, leaning against the wall, looking miserable.
He saw the devils and grinned, revealing his stark white teeth.
A hissing sound rang out.
The devils' expressions turned to sudden terror.
In I Am Carrying The Wolf's arms, he was clutching several grenades.
At such close range, these devils couldn't escape at all.
With a roar, the grenades exploded.
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
The five or six approaching devil marines were blown to death on the spot, their limbs torn apart.
Wang Ye, having just run not far away, heard the explosion, and his expression also changed.
However, by this time, they had temporarily shaken off the devils' pursuit.
At this moment, Wang Ye saw what had happened in the bullet comments.
"Old Wolf pulled the grenade and died with the devils."
"Brother Wang, avenge Old Wolf; he died so miserably."
"Brother Wang, can you guys win? Don't let Old Wolf die in vain."
Wang Ye did not respond to the bullet comments.
Now there were only six people left, and one was injured.
With this group of people, let alone winning, whether they could survive was another matter.
"Who's there!"
Just as Wang Ye was silent, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"We are from the Second Company."
At this moment, several people walked out of a dilapidated house.
Judging by their attire, they were their own people.
"We are from the Third Company. Isn't your Second Company attacking at the front? Why are you guys here?"
Li Yan looked at the few people, his brows furrowed.
