MMB Chapter 17 Li Wei's End
Chapter 17 Li Wei's End
The fifth shot hit without a doubt.
But it didn't hit a vital spot; instead, it struck the pistol inside Li Wei's thigh holster.
The violent impact caused Li Wei's left leg to tremble, almost causing him to kneel on the ground.
But the next moment, Li Wei rolled over and arrived at the top of the stairs, climbing up the stairs almost using both his hands and feet.
Li Wei looked quite disheveled, but he knew that Claude was probably not much stronger than him now.
That fifth shot was definitely not Claude showing mercy and letting him go; it was a desperate gamble after losing the bet, pushing all his chips into the hole!
When Li Wei rushed up to the second floor, he understood why Claude had "gambled".
"Long time no see, you've become even more outstanding than before."
Claude stood two hundred meters away, empty-handed, his sunglasses gone, revealing his... strangely comical eyes.
Claude's green eyes had one looking at Levi, while the other was tilted to his temple, like a comical clown in a circus.
"Are you blind in one eye?"
This is why Cloud risked firing a fifth shot... Cloud lost his stereoscopic vision, and his accuracy decreased due to physiological reasons.
"Yes, it was stabbed to pieces by a Slav with a military knife on the battlefield last year in Ugran... and it's warped again?"
After saying that, Claude raised his hand and flicked his left eye.
"And now?"
"The direction is reversed; now all you can see is the 'white' of the eye."
Claude gave up on correcting it.
"Okay, it's better than crooked. Let's leave it like this for now."
As he spoke, Claude lifted his trench coat, pulled out two pistols from the outside of his thighs, placed one of them on the ground, and kicked it in front of Levi.
"Same as before, one match, the winner asks questions, the loser answers, how about that?"
As he spoke, Claude pulled a knife from the side of the holster on his left thigh.
Kaspersky 1217.
It's the same style as Li Wei's, but from a different generation.
"From the moment you opened fire on me, I had no more questions to ask."
As he spoke, Li Wei put down the "Linda" in his hand, pulled out his Ka-Bar 1218, bent down to pick up the pistol, hung it on the holster on his thigh, and walked towards Claude.
"Okay, here's one last lesson for you—don't be like me and become a coward who points a gun at innocent people."
Claude said, making the same gesture.
Soon, the two stood almost face to face.
"3".
Li Wei spoke first.
"2".
Claude didn't mind Li Wei taking the initiative and continued counting.
"1".
The moment Li Wei spoke, he raised his hand and drew his gun.
But Claude beat him to it.
Instead of drawing his gun, he pressed down on Li Wei's hand, preventing him from doing so.
At the same time, he gripped the knife in his backhand and slashed at Li Wei's throat.
Li Wei tilted his head back the instant the gun was pressed down, but Claude's movement was too fast, and a line of blood was still left on his throat.
With a swift, empty swing, Claude swung the blade back and aimed the tip at Levi's temple.
Instead of retreating, Li Wei advanced and rammed his head into Claude's nose.
Claude had only completed half of his counterattack when he quickly used the fact that he was about the same height as Levi to change tactics and sweep Levi's forehead with his elbow.
Ignoring the rapidly enlarging elbow in his vision, Li Wei raised his hand and stabbed Claude in the abdomen.
"Bang!"
"Thump!"
Two muffled thuds followed, and Levi and Claude staggered back several steps.
"Damn it! Old man! You're actually wearing a bulletproof vest!"
Li Wei cursed as he drew his gun after being hit on the head.
But instead of the pistol Claude gave him, he pulled out "Linda," which was always hanging on his body!
"Damn it! You little bitch! You actually used an automatic weapon!"
Claude also drew his pistol.
"Bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The pistol fired a single shot, and the assault rifle fired a short burst simultaneously.
Li Wei was shot in the shoulder, and blood dripped down his left hand, which was gripping the gunstock.
Claude was shot in the chest; the force of the bullet sent him staggering backward, nearly causing him to fall.
"Bang bang bang!"
Li Wei immediately seized the opportunity and hit another short point.
However, due to the injury to his left hand, the bullets were somewhat "missing".
He aimed for the head, but only one shot hit Claude's ear.
Claude, who was missing an ear, did not raise his hand to cover it like a normal person would. Instead, he flicked his wrist and swung his combat knife at Levi's stomach.
Unable to dodge in time, Li Wei could only put down "Linda" as a shield.
"when!"
"Bang!"
The instant the knife struck the gun barrel, Claude fired.
Li Wei fell to the ground, but just before being hit in the forehead.
So, he escaped.
As he fell to the ground, he pulled out the pistol from his thigh and pulled the trigger.
"Click!"
The sound was like a mocking laugh.
Damn it! That old bastard Claude wore down the firing pin!
"mean!"
Levi, who was already lying on the ground, immediately let go, threw away the pistol, and raised "Linda" again, aiming it at Claude.
But Claude, who remained standing, was a step ahead—because he only needed to press down on his wrist.
"Bang!"
"Finish……"
"Bang bang bang!"
Claude shot Levi in the chest, but before he could finish speaking, Levi seemed completely unaffected as a short shot ripped open his skull.
Claude fell, but Levi did not let his guard down. Instead, he quickly changed to a new magazine in a second and fired another short shot at Claude.
Seeing that Claude only twitched a few times and then stopped moving, and even the twitching stopped, Levi finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the ground.
"it's over……"
Li Wei finished saying what Claude hadn't finished saying.
What ended was not only this duel and this hunt, but also his life.
However, Li Wei was not afraid; on the contrary, he quite enjoyed the feeling of life gradually draining from his body.
Because he was quite satisfied with his ending...
He didn't die in a hospital bed—that's not how a soldier should die.
He didn't die from betrayal—Claude was his instructor, not a friend, so dying at his hands couldn't be considered betrayal.
He didn't die from guilt he could never repay—undoubtedly, he protected Zhang Qiu, even if only once. But isn't life also only given once?
Li Wei didn't wait until his vision went dark due to excessive blood loss; instead, he deliberately closed his eyes.
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
It was the sound of dripping blood, like the tinkling of bells in the wind.
The pain in his chest made him acutely aware that he was walking toward death while still alive.
This is not suffering, but an inevitable stage of life.
When the idea popped into his head, Levi felt he was more suited to be a philosopher than Wesker.
If there really is an afterlife, or if I could travel through time again, I'd try to become a philosopher.
But at that moment, a voice that Li Wei found extremely annoying suddenly rang out, rudely interrupting his "philosopher king" plan.
[Task: Breathe.]
[Reward: Wound Regeneration (Beginner)]
[Task Evaluation: You're a fool! I beg you, spare my life! I used a loophole to save your life this time! Don't go playing so recklessly next time!]
"I'll fuck your mother!"
Li Wei suddenly opened his eyes and began to curse.
However, he could only watch helplessly as the gunshot wound in his chest gradually healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, even forcibly squeezing out the bullet that had entered his chest.
At this moment, Li Wei felt that the system had not only taken away his "perfect life ending," but also made him feel like an idiot.
