Chapter 715: Accidental Death

After entering the mall, 1810 did not rush to the floor where Yogurt was. As captain, he had helped his team go through all kinds of challenges, and he wasn’t one to act recklessly after knowing that his enemy could mechanize figurines.

The moment he stepped into the shopping mall, he had to be hyper-aware of his surroundings. Since he took stealthy steps, it took him a good ten minutes to get from the first floor to the third. However, there was no danger along the way.

Then he saw Yogurt.

The latter’s hands and feet were bound, and she was lying behind a display window. Just like the photo, she looked to be in an awful state, not to mention the deep wounds all over her arms. When 1810 saw her chest moving, he realized she was still alive. And he was relieved to see that. Then he noticed some yellow unidentified liquid on Yogurt.

The yellow liquid stretched all the way from behind the display window to the front of the shop. 1810 then took a deep breath, and his expression changed, and said to the man who in front of the door, “Gasoline?”

Although Shen Dongxing was extremely anxious, he had still asked Captain America to take out the lighter in accordance with the agreement with Yogurt.

1810 became nervous when he saw the lighter, and solemnly, he persuaded, “Don’t do it. We can talk about the reward.”

At that time, Yogurt had also woken up. She became excited when she saw 1810 and immediately hit her head against the display window, seemingly signaling to him to rescue her quickly.

1810 comforted, “Don’t worry, you will be safe soon.”

Then he turned his head and said to Captain America, “Aren’t you Shen Dongxing? Where is Shen Dongxing?”

Although Captain America had wrapped himself up like a mummy, the difference in size between him and Shen Dongxing was too vast. 1810 could not convince himself that Shen Dongxing was actually the one standing in front of him.

And he also realized that the tall figure facing him had not spoken since they met.

The moment 1810 took a step forward, Captain America ignited the lighter.

1810 knew that his opponent was warning him not to take another step. The situation fell into a temporary stalemate. 1810 did not give up on communicating with the other party, though, mentioning that he was willing to give out a thousand game points. However, he could not come up with so much in such a short time, and he hoped that the other party could give him more time and release Yogurt first.

Shen Dongxing was scratching his head in front of the computer. He could not hear what 1810 was saying. So, he could only order Captain America to protect Yogurt while he held the lighter to continue threatening 1810.

1810 kept on talking to Captain America, but he received no response. Looking at 1810 through the monitor, it seemed like he was trying to calm Captain America down.

This was what a father would do to protect his child.

But the next moment, an unexpected accident happened. A bullet whizzing by from an unknown direction smashed through the mall’s gla.s.s wall and hit the target accurately. Shen Dongxing was taken aback. At first, he thought Captain America was the one who had been shot but he saw no bullet holes on him. Yogurt seemed unharmed as well. As for 1810, his body jerked back violently, and a bullet hole appeared on his head. After that, he stumbled, hit the third floor’s guardrail, and tumbled to the first floor’s marble floor.

With his head first to hit the ground, it was a b.l.o.o.d.y scene to watch. And there was no point rescuing him anymore.

“This is… what the h.e.l.l?!” Shen Dongxing’s eyes widened in front of the computer, completely stunned by what was happening before him.

Yogurt was equally as shocked. She thought she had taken into account every possible scenario that might occur tonight. No matter what 1810 or Shen Dongxing did, however, none of them could change the ending.

But she did not expect 1810 to be killed right in front of her eyes.

His death was so unexpected Yogurt did not know how to proceed.

Since her target was now dead, everything that she had done so far was all but pointless.

The death of 1810 had messed up Yogurt’s plan completely, causing her mind to go blank for a few seconds. She then snapped back to reality when she heard the bullet smas.h.i.+ng the display window in front of her. It seemed the enemy had no intention to stop after killing 1810.

Fortunately, Captain America managed to grab his s.h.i.+eld and block the bullets aiming for Yogurt in time. At the same time, he used his other hand to untie the rope around her feet.

“Wait. Something is off,” Yogurt said with suspicion.

As a player, 1810 must have had partic.i.p.ated in team battles before. Hunting monsters in the real world could easily plunge the players into conflict. Therefore, it was not surprising that 1810 had enemies in the real world. However, the timing his enemies chose to eliminate him seemed a little off. And the killing happened too quickly just now. Yogurt did see 1810 getting shot, falling head-first to the first floor. However, she did not have the time to examine his body.

After blurting out what she wanted to say, Yogurt realized that it was all useless because Shen Dongxing, now far away in the Internet cafe, could not hear a single word she was saying. After Captain America untied the rope from her foot and hand, he wanted to drag her away from this place.

At the internet cafe, a few young people who were focussing on their LoL game witnessed the most magical scene in their lives. They saw Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Hulk running out of the private room one after the other! Just when they were about to say something, something even more magical happened. Iron Man smashed the window and flew into the sky.

The cafe owner who was helping a customer get a can of c.o.ke at the checkout counter was almost frightened to death. He just sat on the ground and dared not move a single muscle. He never thought that his Internet café, now open for five years, could have become a temporary office for the Avengers.

The rest of the Avengers rushed to the mall with lightning speed. Among them, Iron Man was the first to arrive on the third floor. And Yogurt came to an epiphany when she saw Iron Man.

She finally realized what 1810 wanted to do. She then yelled at Iron Man, “Quick, go back!” At the same time, she kept waving her hands, but alas, Iron Man had no idea what she was trying to do. He could only respond with a not-to-worry gesture with his hands.

There was clearly a communication problem between the two of them. Yogurt did not bring her mobile phone with her. She did this because she had antic.i.p.ated what would happen next, and she did not want Shen Dongxing to get in her way. However, she did not expect that this move would inadvertently put Shen Dongxing at grave risk.
