Chapter 40: The Cunning Big Bad Wolf VS The Soft Little Rabbit?

Pei Yi and Hongmao were already waiting in their car near the edge of the box they had just killed.

Seeing Jian Yao coming, Hongmao jumped out of the car and took off his level 3 armor to give to her, “Sister-in-law, here’s some armor for you.”

Then he hopped around on one of the most ornate urns, “Lick this, lick this, this one’s the richest.”

Jian Yao thanked Hongmao with a smile and walked to the bag he had designated to pick up things.

She actually didn’t understand what rich meant at all. She turned on auto-pickup, her character bent over and picked up everything randomly, not even knowing what she had picked up.

Although she was a complete noob the whole time, the team atmosphere was very harmonious. It was the first time she had lived so long in the game, and she was very happy to get in the car.

Gu Zhiyan picked up things much faster than her, and he was already waiting by the car. After she got in, he got in too.

Pei Yi was driving, with Hongmao on alert, Gu Zhiyan took this time to tell Jian Yao how to match the rifle attachments.

Jian Yao looked at her level 3 helmet, level 3 armor, level 3 backpack, and fully equipped 416 with a look of satisfaction.

Although she was very bad, she hadn’t even killed anyone, but looking at her full backpack of bullets and meds, she still felt very secure.

The safe zone was near G Port, and Pei Yi, Gu Zhiyan, and the others were bold enough to drive directly into G Port.

They could hear the constant gunfire from afar. The car stopped at the position of the big warehouse. Pei Yi and Hong Mao immediately jumped out of the car and went to flank the people in the big warehouse, one after the other.

Gu Zhiyan instructed Jian Yao, “Stay in the car and don’t move. Call me if you see anyone.”

Jian Yao nodded obediently and softly said, “Okay.”

Pei Yi parked the car in a very clever spot, both hidden and able to see the situation on the container side.

The terrain here was very special. Jian Yao recognized it at a glance. This was the place where Gu Zhiyan had become a legend in one battle.

To avoid causing trouble for them, she obediently sat in the car, her eyes following Gu Zhiyan’s figure.

The big warehouse was left to Pei Yi and Hongmao. After confirming that there was no one on the high points and no sniper, he directly crouched on the slope of the container planks to block his position.

Jian Yao hadn’t even seen anyone, and the left side of the screen had already reported several kills.

The rain-like gunfire had become much less intense. After Pei Yi and Hongmao dealt with the big warehouse, they also went to support Gu Zhiyan.

Jian Yao was watching intently from the car when she suddenly heard footsteps nearby.

She pulled her view around to look, and sure enough, she saw two people approaching from behind, who had somehow snuck up on her.

The two obviously hadn’t noticed her yet, and they ran straight towards her.

Jian Yao saw that Gu Zhiyan was in the middle of a fierce fight, and she didn’t want to bother him.

She didn’t know what to do, and in her nervousness, she accidentally touched the screen, switching her gun to a smoke grenade.

The people were already close, and she had no experience with shooting, so she thought that since she couldn’t kill anyone anyway, she would just recall Gu Zhiyan’s instructions and throw the smoke grenade.

It was her first time throwing, and she couldn’t get the aim right, so she threw it at her own feet.

White smoke instantly enveloped her, and gunfire swept towards her, but because they couldn’t see, not a single shot hit her.

Jian Yao’s eyes lit up, and she threw another one a little further away, expanding the smoke area, then got out of the car and continued throwing smoke, further expanding the smoke area.

The other side seemed to be not very good either. In the midst of the smoke, the three people ran around, and miraculously, they didn’t run into each other.

Jian Yao was about to add some more smoke when she realized that the smoke was gone, and she only had one grenade left.

She looked at the grenade in her hand, silent for a moment, pulled the pin, and threw it towards the direction of the car in her memory.

She had watched the live stream, and cars would explode.

With the experience of throwing the smoke grenade, she threw it pretty accurately this time.

With a “bang,” the grenade and the car exploded simultaneously, killing and finishing off the two people who had been surrounding Jian Yao by the car.

Jian Yao threw it and ran, staying far away, miraculously becoming the only survivor of the explosion.

However, she was also knocked down…

Jian Yao looked at the elimination report on the left and her two kills on the top right corner. She didn’t even care that she was about to die, and immediately looked up to share with Gu Zhiyan.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw the man looking down at her, a smile playing on his lips. “Calm, strategic, very impressive!”

He put down his tablet and lightly clapped, applauding Jian Yao.

She was embarrassed by his praise, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at him.

Actually, heaven knows, she wasn’t strategic at all.

At first, she just wanted to throw a smoke grenade but missed. Then she realized that the other team couldn’t see her, so she wanted to throw a few more to muddy the waters and find a chance to escape.

Gu Zhiyan leaned over and pulled Jian Yao up from where she had been knocked down by the explosion. He then threw her a medical kit. “Use this.”

Jian Yao picked up the medical kit and used it. Then she wanted to run off to loot.

She had only taken a few steps when Gu Zhiyan called her back.

“Come here.”

Jian Yao stopped in her tracks and turned to look. He was still squatting in the same spot where he had helped her up.

Seeing her looking at him, he spoke again.

“Come here, I have something for you.”

Jian Yao, confused, circled back and squatted down, mimicking Gu Zhiyan’s posture.

Gu Zhiyan took a signal pistol out of his backpack, then pulled out a bullet. “Here’s a signal pistol for you.”

Jian Yao knew that this small red pistol could summon an airdrop, but she didn’t know how to use it.

She looked at Gu Zhiyan for help. He put down his phone and pointed at it, looking down at her. “This little pistol here, see?”

“Click it once, then load the bullet, aim at the sky and fire.”

Jian Yao followed Gu Zhiyan’s instructions, holding the pistol towards the sky and pressing the fire button.

The red sphere flew up into the sky with a trailing sound, lingering in the air.

“Is that right?”

This was the first shot Jian Yao had fired in this game.

She knew that if the signal pistol wasn’t fired correctly, it would be wasted.

So after firing, she immediately turned to look at Gu Zhiyan.

Gu Zhiyan remained in the same position, his black eyes shimmering in the light. Hearing her question, he nodded lightly. “Yes, you did great!”

Great?

Jian Yao knew Gu Zhiyan was just comforting her. The truth was, she had been the team’s dead weight from the start of the game.

But Gu Zhiyan and the others, with their attitude completely different from Lu Chengze, had downplayed this fact, dispelling the shadows in her heart.

They didn’t treat her like a burden, but as a real teammate, taking care of her in every way.

Jian Yao’s nose felt a little sour. She whispered softly, “Thank you.”

In the unnoticed live stream, the viewers were going crazy.

“Ahhh, I want to be the wife for ten minutes!”

“You little brat, you’re so lucky! Can I switch places with you and play with Gu Shen for a round?”

“Where are the people who were betting on Gu Shen getting angry? Are your faces hurting?”

“My face hurts so bad, but I love it!”

“Did anyone else notice that even though the wife is soft like a little rabbit, Gu Shen is actually the one who’s being controlled?”

“The cunning big bad wolf VS the soft little rabbit?”
