DHMB - Chapter 19
Chapter 19
Because this scene was too spectacular, the live stream administrator finally adjusted the camera to inside the training building, filming inch by inch through the smoke-filled area.
Blackened walls, fallen bodies, attack weapons still in alert status...
Everyone's faces were filled with disbelief and surprise, but their movements were frozen in this moment forever.
What a tragic scene this was? All those lying there were unwilling souls, and you could even hear the sound of them shouting "Holy crap!"
Finally, the camera focused on Lei Kaiding, protected in the center by a shield.
Half of his face was covered in blood. Although the system identified him as a rescue soldier at the last moment and provided some protection, the exhaustion from running for a long time, coupled with the shockwaves from the high-temperature explosion and chaotic gunfire, still took his precious life.
This one life... was worth over a hundred points!
The live stream administrator adjusted the angle, giving a close-up of his weathered face, capturing his handsome features on screen.
"? He only just died? I thought he died ages ago. How did he survive until now?"
"Ran for over an hour... stubbornly survived until now. Strong will to live, but it was useless. Though his death was quite valuable in the end, worth dozens of lives!"
"This guy is too ruthless... If I were dragging a bunch of enemies in a marathon, I'd definitely turn around and kneel to them."
"His teammate is even more ruthless, but one exchange... how many was it? Not a loss."
"I'm not gonna lie, this kid is too tragic. Every time he's in the spotlight, it's a funeral scene. He's probably the only one whose corpse is frequently observed up close after death, right?"
"He might really never escape this meme, hahaha!"
"I wonder how he feels watching himself on screen, but please believe in yourself, you're already a legend!"
After paying tribute, the camera prepared to pull back, artistically concluding this brutal sacrifice. Just as it was halfway back, the screen suddenly froze.
That slight tremor made everyone feel the live stream administrator's shocked inner state.
Immediately after, the screen zoomed in, showing Lei Kaiding's blackened finger suddenly twitch.
The audience thought they had seen wrong.
Then the screen zoomed out a bit, allowing a clear view of Lei Kaiding's shoulders constantly shrugging as he tried to get up from the ground.
Not being forcibly ejected by the system meant he didn't suffer a fatal injury. However, the critical life warning had appeared, and his current existence was only worth "3 points," meaning he could no longer fight.
The entire audience was in an uproar.
"He moved! What the hell, why am I more touched than seeing my stocks move!"
"???"
"Holy crap, he's not dead yet?"
"I told you the Alliance's protection system wouldn't attack indiscriminately, didn't it leave a survivor?"
"Is this guy perhaps a Shield user?"
"Why is his health so high? Is he cheating? Why does he have so many lives like a cockroach?"
"Get up! Lei Lei! You have to be strong!"
"This team is amazing! One died inexplicably, one can't die no matter what, and another directly took out dozens of people. What a divine combination!"
The live stream administrator couldn't add subtitles, so they shook the camera to match the mood.
Lei Kaiding was almost ejected by the system. The system even counted down, waiting for a judgment, and after a while, finally let him stay. Although the full simulation didn't allow for much pain, the moment the fire lit up, the psychological damage he suffered was simply incurable.
He struggled to sit up on the ground, gritting his teeth and spitting out two words:
"Kai... Yun...!!"
The audience was excited.
"He's going to turn evil!"
"Lei Lei must condemn her!"
"Lei Lei, you've been reborn! Play dead and scare her!"
Lei Kaiding shouted into the communicator with his hoarse throat, "Your sister!"
Outside the building, Kai Yun heard the sound and stopped her departing steps.
She turned her head and looked towards the window.
How could this kid's vitality be so strong?
Kai Yun: "Hello?"
"Hello your sister!" Lei Kaiding stammered, "How could you be like this!"
"I asked you, didn't I?" Kai Yun said, "You said you'd get rid of them at all costs."
Lei Kaiding coughed up a mouthful of blood, trembling as he said, "But I didn't tell you to trick me! Why didn't you tell me first?"
"Tit for tat," Kai Yun said, kicking a stone under her foot. "We're all doing it for points. Isn't that why you teamed up with me? It's not like we're becoming friends."
Lei Kaiding was speechless for a moment. Sure enough, she was fully aware of his sneaky little actions.
He now regretted it immensely. Why, the first time he met Kai Yun, did he get possessed and think about tricking her?
...It was all his teammates' fault! His teammates instigated him, he was just provoked and blinded by that damned friendship!
Indeed, it's better to be kind.
This tournament really tempers a person.
Lei Kaiding said pitifully, "Can't you be less vengeful? You're too ruthless! I was young and didn't know better back then, and it didn't even work out later, did it? And you still blew me up like this, do you think I'm a landmine? Even a landmine gives a warning before it explodes!"
Kai Yun said, "Then stop thinking about tricking me in the future, and I won't trick you."
Lei Kaiding weakly said, "...Okay." He really didn't dare anymore. The cost of life was too high.
The two reconciled.
Kai Yun friendly called out, "Lei Lei!"
"Kai..." Lei Kaiding couldn't get over it in his heart, unable to accept the nickname: "Bah!"
Kai Yun was quite generous towards her little companions, enthusiastically inviting him, "If you're alive, hurry up and come out, I'll take you out to rack up points!"
Lei Kaiding: "I can't move right now, I'm in a severely injured state."
Kai Yun: "Then just log out and rest. Advancing in this round is no problem anymore. I'm going to wander around a bit more."
"No way!" Lei Kaiding firmly refused.
He couldn't have been blown up for nothing, he wanted to be in the spotlight! He wanted to redeem himself!
Lei Kaiding hadn't forgotten how famous Kai Yun's eating broadcasts were, and asked, "What did you bring to eat today?"
Kai Yun's voice brightened: "Mapo Tofu!"
Lei Kaiding said, "I want some too!"
"Then wait for me!" Kai Yun said, rolling up her sleeves. "After I finish this round, you just lie there for now."
Lei Kaiding happily agreed.
Both of them hung up the communicator, satisfied.
The onlookers were all dumbfounded. The keys they used to type question marks were almost shattered.
Did the ship of friendship sink or not? How was this completely different from the scene they had imagined? Is it really that hard to follow the thought process of young people these days?
Kai Yun turned around, ready to continue her journey. She hadn't walked far down the street when she ran into Lu Que, who was still searching the entire map for her.
Lu Que's entire being screamed "I'm going to kill you," and the rage around him was burning fiercely. Gritting his teeth tightly, he let out a sinister chuckle and said to Kai Yun, "Keep running."
Kai Yun nodded obediently: "Okay!"
And walked away with her saber on her back.
Lu Que roared, "Stop right there!!"
Kai Yun thought about how long he had been chasing her and felt a little pity, so she seriously explained to him, "I just promised my friend I'd treat him to Mapo Tofu."
Lu Que's distorted expression was almost uncontrollable.
"Eating definitely requires a quiet environment, because he's not feeling well right now and shouldn't be disturbed," Kai Yun explained reasonably. "But this map is small and there are too many people, it's not suitable, don't you agree?"
Her answer was met with a merciless critical hit from Lu Que.
Fortunately, Kai Yun was prepared. She exerted force with her feet and quickly retreated to dodge.
Her evasion seemed to give Lu Que new stimulation. No one had ever led him on a chase round after round and still dared to ditch him... because he had never encountered someone with such abnormal Lightness Skill.
When he got back, he would make up for this damned weakness!
"You're being unreasonable, I'm leaving now, okay?" Kai Yun waved her hand, leaving no trace behind. "After I clear the area, I'll come back and fight you!"
Lu Que clenched both fists, muttering to himself, "Clear the area, huh? Fine!"
Then he continued flying in the direction Kai Yun had left.
Seeing such a familiar scene, someone in the comments section complained:
"What's going on with this match today? Is it all following the script of 'You chase me, and if you catch me, I'll hehehe~'?"
"Summary spot on..."
