Su Jiang panted heavily. Although the Ghost Shadow was destroyed in the virtual network, it could be restored for a small fee after the match. Compared to such a trivial loss, Gu Ningyi’s act of abandoning his cha excited her.
"That was really dangerous just now, almost got pierced through." Su Jiang raised her hand to touch her left shoulder, and imdiately gasped in pain. Her hand was covered in hot, sticky blood, which flowed down quickly. Her smooth shoulder seed to have had a chunk cut off, with blood and flesh churning.
Biting her lip, she tore her coat into pieces with one hand, roughly bandaged the wound on her shoulder, and then opened a small box tied to her thigh. Without even looking, she took out a preloaded syringe and jabbed it directly into the wound.
"Hiss—I’d love to say sothing to that shopkeeper, boasts during the pitch... damned thing doesn’t even hurt!"
Su Jiang moved her arm, the bleeding temporarily stopped. This type of dicine was similar to super speed hypos, but not as effective, and it was extrely painful. To reduce this pain, it often contained anesthetic components.
However, Su Jiang didn’t dare use those hypos with anesthetic components. A jab could numb a small part of her body, rendering her unfit for combat! But compared to the current heart-wrenching pain, she felt it was more rational not to use such hypoes.
As she opened the cha cockpit, she hadn’t even spotted where Gu Ningyi was when a fierce wind attacked from the side, carrying a suffocating killing intent. Swiftly, she dodged away, but the tips of her bundled hair were hit, sparking a crackling sound, with the sll of burnt air. Standing on high ground, Su Jiang could just see Gu Ningyi putting away his Laser Particle Sword.
"Who would’ve thought... you’re not dead yet..." Su Jiang cursed herself silently. If the situation hadn’t been so urgent, when she pierced the engine of his cha, she should’ve left sothing behind to trigger a self-destruct!
However, the distance between them was too close, and Su Jiang couldn’t tell which of them was more unfortunate, dying first in the explosion! Su Jiang never attempts such luck-based strategies; she prefers the feel of personally decapitating her opponent.
"The cockpit was destroyed, and you’re not dead either... quite fortunate." Implied, if Su Jiang could survive, there was no reason he couldn’t. To speak frankly, shouldn’t the dead one have been her?
"Because my attribute is cockroach, can’t be killed." Su Jiang mocked herself, having died twice and crossed over twice, doesn’t that make her like a cockroach? If Gu Ningyi’s strike had been slightly off by ten centiters, she might really be dead.
"Haha, hope you continue to be that lucky." Gu Ningyi felt sowhat aggrieved. Back when he was in school, he was also a passionate youth, and he’s played in chaotic battles before, as well as dual network battles. But never like this, forced to abandon the cha, and having to endure the other’s mockery!
For others, when forced to abandon a cha, they’d still have a chance to drive a backup, but the opponent wasn’t to be underestimated, so such opportunities are generally not utilized. In dual royal battle mode, each team’s ’king’ only gets one chance.
Otherwise, Su Jiang would’ve seen Gu Ningyi driving a backup cha to crush his opponents. He wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead from the earlier pain; the blood on his hands had cooled but hadn’t coagulated, and so blood sared onto his face with that motion. Yet, Su Jiang was completely unfazed... and it was this nonchalance that deepened the chill in Gu Ningyi’s heart.
Those who haven’t truly experienced life and death, generally have a natural fear of it. Gu Ningyi didn’t believe a sixteen-year-old girl, if she hadn’t been through so dark experiences, could face such a deep shoulder wound so calmly. Not crying or fussing was already impressive enough, let alone being indifferent like her.
"I live not by luck!" Su Jiang scoffed, her right hand feeling for sothing on her thigh, her fingers deftly unlocking it, "If it was with chas, you might have a significant advantage, but now..."
Gu Ningyi chuckled, "I have a completely opposite view. With your current state, what waves can you possibly stir? One arm nearly useless... seems I’ve forgotten to tell you, those dicines sold on the market, not only are they ineffective, but they also have significant resistance. You don’t feel it now, but in a little while, you’ll probably experience it."
