Chapter 43: Comprehended Tactics - Diverting Disaster Eastward (Excellent)
[Ding...]
[Congratulations, comprehended tactics - Diverting Disaster Eastward (Excellent), reward 200 survival points]
Huh?
Yu Yuan, who was moving through the sewer, paused his footsteps slightly. He was montarily stunned at first, then seed to understand sothing, a look of pleasant surprise appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems it worked!"
But what are tactics?
Not skills?
Opening the Virtual Light Screen's [Combat] page, a [Tactics] column appeared below the [Skills] column.
The first slot already prominently displayed tactics nad [Diverting Disaster Eastward].
[Diverting Disaster Eastward]
Quality: Excellent
Function: When conflict with other factions (or individuals) is about to bring disaster upon oneself, through intentional guidance, design, and planning, there is a 60% probability of shifting the disaster to a third-party faction or individual.
Looking at the function description of [Diverting Disaster Eastward], Yu Yuan grinned from ear to ear.
He laughed so hard he slapped his thigh repeatedly.
He was utterly impressed with his previous decision.
Everything happened just as Yu Yuan was about to leave. He had considered eliminating the guy who stole the formula milk, since that guy was too dangerous.
But suddenly he thought that letting him go might work better than directly killing him, as long as he could transfer the Burning Fortress's hatred to other factions.
Although it was just a flash of inspiration, he had tried it out experintally, never expecting it would actually succeed.
Yu Yuan found it sowhat unbelievable.
Moreover, it unlocked a new function in [Combat]. Until now, Yu Yuan still didn't know what other functions the Virtual Light Screen hadn't activated yet.
It seed that only when he triggered certain special conditions would the corresponding functions unlock.
That's how it was when [Skills] were unlocked initially, and now it's the sa with unlocking [Tactics].
The Virtual Light Screen was like an eternally unfathomable mystery, never knowing when it would surprise you with sothing new.
Shaking his head lightly, he closed the light screen, the joy in his eyes fading, replaced again with caution and vigilance.
After [Mie Mie] was unequipped, Yu Yuan felt like every step was a struggle.
Each step felt extrely heavy, with over ten to twenty kilograms of equipnt all over his body, plus two backpacks of supplies. Who knew when he'd manage to drag himself back to District 13.
Of course, his destination wasn't District 13 anyway, but Canchino Street in District 11. With so many supplies, he definitely needed to complete the elimination task for the [Luxury Card] first.
Mie Mie, on the other hand, didn't seem to react much to the massive amount of supplies on its back, only sowhat puzzled about why they were moving so slowly, occasionally glancing at Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan also constantly watched the supplies on Mie Mie's back to prevent them from falling, otherwise he'd have to rebundle everything, wasting ti.
The man and sheep soon reached the sewer near Carlisle Tunnel, which was Yu Yuan's necessary route to District 11.
Bang...
Just as he approached this area, he was startled by a sudden gunshot.
He imdiately turned off his flashlight, raised his gun, and cautiously looked toward the opposite direction of the sewer ahead, where shouting voices could be heard.
The voices weren't far, at most 100 ters away, probably just around the corner.
Without hesitation, Yu Yuan dropped the backpack from his body and looked at Mie Mie.
"Equip!"
[Mie Mie] transford into a stream of light and rged with Yu Yuan.
Bang... Several large bundles of supplies fell to the ground, but the sound was covered by the shouting.
Yu Yuan moved swiftly and lightly toward the corner of Carlisle Street.
"Haha, Carn, run! Weren't you good at running?" an arrogant voice sounded from behind the corner.
"Lao Ke? Pfft, I'm Loris's man now, Loris will naturally protect . Lao Ke, hehe~~ would he really break with Loris over you?"
Yu Yuan's footsteps beca even lighter as he gently peeked around the sewer corner.
About thirty ters away, a flashlight lay fallen on the ground, two figures illuminated by its beam were confronting each other, or rather, it was an execution.
One person held a gun from an elevated position, the other lay on the ground, bleeding profusely.
Enforcer Carn and Soda, and Commanders Lao Ke and Loris—weren't they the people from the Black Shield Police Departnt ntioned in the newspaper news?
A flicker of surprise passed through Yu Yuan's eyes.
He hadn't expected these two to survive and escape the ambush by Thug Prison and Burning Fortress.
Truly remarkable!
"It seems I really can't underestimate these street thugs!" Yu Yuan admitted that if he were sched against like that by two factions, it would be very difficult for him to escape, unless he had thought of an exit route in advance.
Yu Yuan's gaze swept over the two n, quickly recalling the information about them in his mind.
"Soda has secretly defected to Loris, so is that Carn Lao Ke's man? Loris is the older brother of that bald guy from before, so he wants to eliminate Carn. Of course, the person Loris most wants to eliminate is ."
"A commander!" Yu Yuan's gaze finally settled on the man called Carn, so new ideas forming.
It seed Loris's threat could be resolved in another way.
Bang... Gunfire sounded again.
"Hahahahaha... Weren't you so arrogant? Weren't you so cocky? Try being arrogant again now!" Soda's arrogant laughter filled the sewer.
Soda stepped on Carn's wound and ground his foot forcefully, feeling imnsely satisfied watching Carn's agony.
Only when Carn went limp on the ground did he begin to feel sowhat bored.
"Whatever, I won't let you die an unjust death. Rember, it's Loris who ordered to kill you. Can't be helped! Who told you that when that idiot Fries was attacked, you didn't go support him imdiately, but instead chased after Thug Prison? That's why Fries got chopped to death by that sewer rat.
Tsk tsk! Dying in the sewer was Fries's fate, and of course, it's your fate too." Soda felt exceptionally cheerful at this mont.
Looking at Carn, he shook his head slightly.
"Alright, you know what you need to know now. I'll send you on your way! Haha~~"
Soda laughed arrogantly, his handgun already aid at Carn's head.
But just as he raised the gun barrel, still in the midst of his laughter, Carn's previously dazed eyes suddenly turned sharp, his right hand revealing a claw blade that had appeared at so unknown ti.
And at the sa mont, a gunshot also rang out from around the sewer corner.
Bang....
The bullet penetrated Soda's skull, splattering blood.
When Carn heard the gunshot, he realized soone else had been hiding nearby. Shocked, he tried to dodge.
But his injuries were too severe; the counterattack against Soda had exhausted his last bit of strength.
He could only fall heavily to the ground, wanting to reach for the handgun Soda had dropped, but just before he could touch it—
Bang—
A bullet struck the ground, a stray shot grazing past his scalp.
—This was a warning for him not to move recklessly.
Carn's movents instantly stopped. As he slowly withdrew his arm, a bitter smile appeared on his face...
