Chapter 26: Bruce the Sister-Obsessed Protector, Ha Jifeng Kneels and Begs for Mercy at the CEO's Office

"Surrender?"

"Do you think surrendering will do any good?"

"They’ve already dragged their corpses in to loot them. You want to go in there and get stripped naked while they loot you too?"

"We each take one side, hiding behind the sofas where no one can see us. Let them finish fighting it out, and we’ll swoop in to reap the rewards!"

"We have to take the gamble!"

Red Wolf, thinking clearly, was aggressively manipulating Bee Medic.

"That makes sense. Let's keep lying low for a while longer!" Bee Medic decisively chose to stay prone on the floor.

Inside the CEO’s office, Heize injected himself with a hearing stimulant and said, "Two teams outside: one in the Black Room corridor, one in the Buoyancy corridor!"

Li Yishu added, "Including Bee Medic and Red Wolf outside, that makes three teams!"

"Oh my god!" Xiaoxiaoyan swallowed hard. "So many people? Boss, how are we supposed to fight this?"

"Red Wolf and Bee Medic want to take us out, and the teams in the Black Room and Buoyancy corridor want to ambush us too. So, we fight!" Heize commanded. "Open the door!"

"You got it, boss!" Xiaoxiaoyan hurried to open half the door.

Heize aimed his AWM at the usual spots outside.

"Huh? No one?" Heize said.

Xiaoxiaoyan said, "Red Wolf and Bee Medic definitely couldn't have run away!"

Li Yishu also chimed in, "They must be terrified; they wouldn't dare show their heads now!"

"Push them!" Heize ordered.

Xiaoxiaoyan raised his shield, preparing to charge out.

Suddenly, a Tiger-Crouching Cannon was launched from the Black Room side.

Then, a hand cannon shell flew in from the Buoyancy side.

"Tiger-Crouching Cannon, hand cannon!" Xiaoxiaoyan was so scared he scrambled back and slammed the door shut.

Explosions thundered outside.

Xiaoxiaoyan said, "Boss, we can't push! Not even a little bit!"

Li Yishu added, "Boss, maybe we should wait a little longer!"

Heize was usually reckless; guarding the CEO office against two teams alone was common for him. But the current situation was too complex.

The teams in the Black Room corridor and the Buoyancy corridor were already fighting. Bee Medic and Red Wolf were hidden somewhere. Whichever team made the first move would surely be the first to die a miserable death.

"It's a chaotic mess!" Heize said. "Wait a bit longer, just hold the door!"

Li Yishu and Xiaoxiaoyan stood by the door with their large shields.

The one who fired the Tiger-Crouching Cannon from the Black Room was the猛犬 (Fierce Dog) streamer Nanbowan, nicknamed Bruce.

Trailing behind him was the timid and skittish Mai Xiaowen.

Nanbowan said, "Little sister, there are quite a few people in the CEO office!"

Mai Xiaowen replied, "Brother, maybe we should retreat?"

Nanbowan laughed, "With you calling me 'brother', how could I possibly retreat? I have to get you a full haul; we aren't leaving unless we have at least eight million!"

Mai Xiaowen said, "Actually, it's fine. Back there, you already killed three people, and you let me loot all the bags. I'm already loaded!"

The two had met on the world channel.

Nanbowan had sent a message: "I'll carry you to a big haul, little sister. You just hide behind me and cheer me on."

And so, Mai Xiaowen had come along.

They spawned in Prison Level 2, and Nanbowan wiped out a team in Prison Level 3. He didn't take a single item, leaving all the loot for Mai Xiaowen.

All he got in return was a "brother."

Nanbowan was still enjoying it. Hearing how easily satisfied Mai Xiaowen was, Nanbowan grew displeased. "Little sister, are you satisfied with just that?"

"Yeah!" Mai Xiaowen said. "I usually just run knife-only in the Port, and occasionally play Aerospace, but I always retreat as soon as the signal drops!"

"It's fine, it's fine!" Nanbowan said. "Listen to me, you just stay safely behind me and loot!"

Mai Xiaowen said, "Is that really okay?"

Nanbowan said, "Little sister, if you say that again, I'm going to be mad! You're questioning my marksmanship!"

"Alright!" Mai Xiaowen said gently. "Then I'll listen to you, brother!"

"That's more like it!" Nanbowan smiled.

In the live stream chat:

Dahai: "Holy crap, Bruce is so thirsty!"

Mulu: "One 'brother' from Mai Xiaowen and Bruce is hook, line, and sinker. Acting tough when he's not; he'll be quiet once he gets kicked to death in a minute!"

Juwai Ren: "Can we just talk about how you're here to fight? Why are you two chatting away?"

Ziding Lace: "Nan-dog, hurry up and have Little Sister Xiaowen be a little more 'seductive'!"

Woyou Shoujing Le: "Are you misspelling that on purpose? 'Seductive'?"

Nanbowan said, "Xiaowen, use your ultimate scan to see how many people are there!"

"Okay, brother!" Mai Xiaowen immediately activated her ultimate.

"Leilei-auntie, charge!"

"Chelei-la, Houlei-la!"

As the voice lines ended, Mai Xiaowen was stunned. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5... there are so many of them?"

"Six?" Nanbowan asked.

"Yeah!" Mai Xiaowen nodded. "Isn't that too many people?"

Nanbowan said, "No, at least eight or nine!"

"Ah?" Mai Xiaowen said, "Are everyone on the map here?"

Nanbowan said, "Brother will analyze it for you: when we were going upstairs, people were already fighting in the CEO office. The shield-dog team is hiding inside. There should be another team outside the CEO office, and one more in the Buoyancy corridor!"

Mai Xiaowen said, "Brother, we can't fight this, can we?"

"We can!" Nanbowan pulled out his AWM, peeked out, and aimed at the Buoyancy corridor.

There was a team inside the CEO office, and he had already checked the flowerbed; no one there. So that team must be hiding behind the sofa.

Just then, a Weilong from the Buoyancy corridor flashed out.

"Bang!"

"One down!" Nanbowan said.

Mai Xiaowen: "Brother, you're amazing!"

Nanbowan continued, "The Buoyancy team is retreating. Throw two flashes in there!"

"Okay!" Mai Xiaowen immediately threw two flash-drones inside.

Nanbowan charged in, jumping and strafing toward the sofa.

The opponents were hiding deep, refusing to show their heads. Nanbowan used his jetpack to leap onto the sofa.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Red Wolf, who was lying on the ground, was instantly killed by a headshot.

Bee Medic, hiding behind the other side of the sofa, was so scared he threw a smoke grenade, then jumped up and tossed a long-range smoke into the CEO's office.

Nanbowan sprayed wildly with his M14.

The heavily wounded Bee Medic scrambled to open the office door.

As soon as he entered, Li Yishu slammed the door shut behind him.

Heize leveled his M14 and fired: "Da... Da!"

Xiaoxiaoyan executed a shield bash, saying excitedly, "Boss, we have someone delivering themselves to our doorstep? Don't shoot, let me finish him!"

Just as Bee Medic tried to crawl up, Xiaoxiaoyan bashed him again with the shield.

"Ahh!" Bee Medic screamed as he collapsed to the ground.

When he stood up again, he just lay back down and didn't move.

Li Yishu said, "It's a Bee Medic who stripped his gear; he even put his gun away!"

"Stop shooting, stop shooting!" Heize said, lowering his M14. "It's a Hajifeng (cowardly Bee Medic)!"

Xiaoxiaoyan then took two steps back, still holding his shield.

Bee Medic hurriedly stripped off his helmet, armor, and chest rig.

Then he stood up, crouched, and lay on the ground, bowing his head repeatedly to the three of them.

In the live stream chat:

A Common Support: "Hilarious, there were too many people, Bee Medic got scared and ran into the CEO office to kneel and beg the shield-dogs for mercy!"

Chengshi-ge: "Truly a Hajifeng, knows when to bend and when to stretch!"

Ride Grandma to see the Sea: "This Bee Medic was the one who threw smoke to save the Weilong earlier!"

Ni Yongli-a: "Good thing he met the boss, otherwise the Hajifeng would be dead and gone!"

Brother stop creating, it hurts: "Honestly, if the boss had been a second slower to lower his gun, the Hajifeng would be dead!"
