Chapter 450: The Truth Behind Predicting Good and Bad Fortune
"Phew..."
Gu Yu crouched in the corner of a low wall, tightly holding a rifle in his hand, cautiously observing his surroundings.
"Come out, Gu Yu. I've already taken Old Dai out, and I already know where you are."
Suddenly, Wu Shaohan's faint voice came from the other side of the wall.
Soft footsteps accompanied it.
Gu Yu dared not breathe heavily; he knew Wu Shaohan was trying to provoke him into coming out.
If he really responded to Wu Shaohan, that would be foolish.
He freed one hand and felt around on the ground, finding a stone.
After contemplating for a moment, he threw the stone to another low wall not far ahead.
The stone hit the ground with a noise, and the previously light footsteps near his ear immediately turned hurried and heavy, "I heard that movement of yours, haha!"
Wu Shaohan's voice came again, this time Gu Yu could clearly feel that he was just a wall away.
Both were sticking close to the wall, only he was still, while Wu Shaohan was moving along the wall towards him.
Gu Yu slowly raised his gun towards the end of the low wall's corner, ready to shoot Wu Shaohan the moment he turned the corner.
This tactic was called a feint!
"Yu~ Yu~ Where are you~"
Just as Gu Yu was speculating whether Wu Shaohan could dodge his ambush, Lin Xinyue's voice suddenly came from the room to the left, her voice also moving towards him.
Crucially, Wu Shaohan's footsteps stopped at that moment.
He too heard Lin Xinyue's voice.
And he conceived the same tactic of ambush!
Lin Xinyue's footsteps drew nearer and nearer; Gu Yu wanted to shout to her not to come over, but doing so would expose him, and Wu Shaohan, who was just a wall away, might just come over...
Gu Yu knew clearly that going head-to-head with Wu Shaohan, he stood no chance.
This guy was a sharpshooter, hitting whatever he aimed at!
You know, Old Dai and the other two veterans were taken out by Wu Shaohan within ten minutes of entering the field!
And the fact that he and Lin Xinyue were still "alive" was completely due to luck!
Old Dai and the three veterans were one team, he and Lin Xinyue were another, while Wu Shaohan was a team by himself.
After entering the field, Wu Shaohan first sought out Old Dai's team.
He clearly regarded them as a much bigger threat than he and Lin Xinyue, who were both novices...
But now, he had finally found an opportunity to outsmart Wu Shaohan.
Unexpectedly, Xinyue, whom he had sent to watch the other area, had come looking for him!
This disrupted his plan.
Listening to the silence next door and Lin Xinyue's footsteps getting closer, Gu Yu's grip on his rifle tightened.
He didn't know if Wu Shaohan would make a sudden move, so he had to stay alert at all times.
"Yu, Yu, where are you~" Lin Xinyue finally reached the room's doorway, holding a rifle similar to Gu Yu's.
Gu Yu heard Wu Shaohan's footsteps again, and they were very close. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
Clearly, Wu Shaohan had made his move, ready to act against Lin Xinyue.
Gu Yu still made no sound; now that Lin Xinyue was exposed, he couldn't expose himself!
Fortunately, Lin Xinyue, although standing at the doorway, didn't look right.
That is, she still hadn't noticed him.
"Strange, where did everyone go?"
Lin Xinyue looked puzzled; hadn't Gu Yu said he'd wait for her in the room?
"Ahem..."
Just then, due to the excessive dust on the ground, he couldn't help but cough softly.
Lin Xinyue's gaze immediately moved to where he was hiding, fortunately, the protrusion on the wall barely managed to conceal his body.
"Yu?"
Upon seeing the shoes that were identical to those Gu Yu was wearing, Lin Xinyue cautiously approached in the direction Gu Yu was hiding with her gun ready.
Gu Yu's attention wasn't on her, he was calculating the time it would take for Wu Shaohan to turn the corner!
"Haha, you have nowhere to hide now!"
Wu Shaohan's voice suddenly sounded behind Lin Xinyue while Gu Yu, who had been prepared for a while, burst out from behind the wall's protrusion.
He raised his gun directly towards the direction Lin Xinyue was approaching from.
His expression tense, he yelled loudly at Lin Xinyue, "Xinyue, run! Run fast!"
Lin Xinyue, caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, stared blankly with a gun in his hand towards her.
By the time she realized Wu Shaohan was right behind her, Wu Shaohan had already fired his gun!
"It's over!"
He shouted.
Gu Yu also pulled the trigger at the same time, his paintball gun resembling an AK47 rapidly firing bullets.
Almost simultaneously, Lin Xinyue stepped directly in front of Gu Yu, a red paintball splattering against her back while Gu Yu's paintball grazed her shoulder and hit Wu Shaohan directly in the chest.
In a split-second decision, she shielded Gu Yu with her body while Gu Yu's bullet successfully hit Wu Shaohan.
Wu Shaohan stared in astonishment at the yellow mark on his chest.
He never expected Lin Xinyue to block a bullet for Gu Yu!
Initially, he had planned to deal with Gu Yu, the most troublesome one, and then take advantage of Lin Xinyue's turned back to eliminate her as well.
However, he underestimated the tacit understanding and trust between Lin Xinyue and Gu Yu!
In such a short time, Lin Xinyue made her decision.
Wu Shaohan didn't doubt that if his gun had real bullets, Lin Xinyue would shield Gu Yu without a second thought.
"You two are too much! Teaming up to deceive me alone!"
Wu Shaohan leaned against the wall, helplessly shrugging his shoulders.
Although he was a sharpshooter, he was alone and had no one to block bullets for him!
He inadvertently received an unwelcome reality check.
"No way, it was just a coincidence, and even if Xinyue hadn't come, I would have shot you from behind as you turned the corner."
Gu Yu walked up to Lin Xinyue, and she reached out to wipe off the wall dust that had accidentally grazed his face.
"Yeah, right, as if I didn't know you were hiding behind the wall! I saw your feet."
Wu Shaohan retorted with a curl of his lip, pointing towards the bottom of the wall where Gu Yu had been crouching.
There was a gap about an inch tall...
If one were to lie on the ground, they could indeed see the other side of the wall!
No wonder Wu Shaohan had suddenly stopped in his tracks on the other side of the wall; he had also thought that Wu Shaohan was distracted by Lin Xin's voice!
Turns out, he had been spotted!
"It's no fun. Playing paintball and still having to deal with this..."
Wu Shaohan, seeing Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue touching each other's faces, couldn't help sticking out his tongue in feigned disgust.
"Haha." Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue looked at each other and laughed.
"Beep—Beep—"
Just then, the communicator hanging on Wu Shaohan's waist suddenly went off.
He pressed the button to answer, and Luo KaiXuan's anxious voice came through.
"The situation has changed; return immediately!"
