Dancing to Surrender

"Nope." Chen Zhao said, tossing a smoke grenade toward the second floor.

The voice upstairs let out two shrieks, shouting "Don't blow me up, don't blow me up!" but upon realizing it was a smoke grenade rather than a frag, the person became exasperated: "Can you be a little more peaceful! Can you really not tell who I am? I'm Little Bamboo Shoot from the Fighting Panda Live platform! I'm super famous!"

"Never heard of you." Chen Zhao said coldly, "Little Bamboo Shoot, do you want to come down and have a quick death? If you don't come down, I'm storming the building!"

As Chen Zhao stood in a standoff with Little Bamboo Shoot upstairs, the audience in the livestream chat exploded:

Fatty Who Loves Bamboo Shoots: "Whoa, what are the odds? You ran into Little Bamboo Shoot?"

Wolf Brother Is The Coolest: "Who is Little Bamboo Shoot? Is she really that famous?"

Oreo and Lao Gan Ma: "Are you serious, man! You don't even know Little Bamboo Shoot? She's that super pretty Little Bamboo Shoot with the huge chest!"

Banana With Red Date: "She's clearly the super pretty Little Bamboo Shoot with the long legs!"

Gold Member of the Appearance Association: "That's Little Bamboo Shoot with eight million followers! Even though her gaming skills are trash, she's beautiful!"

Blood Wall With Answer: "What? As a gaming streamer, you can get fans just by relying on your face without any skill? What kind of world is this! What about the spirit of esports! Let me search... damn, this Little Bamboo Shoot is actually gorgeous. Followed!"

Chen Zhao was hesitating whether to storm the building when he suddenly heard footsteps, followed by an enemy bursting through the door!

Chen Zhao's hand speed was lightning fast; he turned and fired, two shots from the S686 to the face!

"Boom! Boom!"

[You used S686 to headshot and knock down Wife in the Wife Cake]

[You used S686 to headshot and kill Wife in the Wife Cake]

The enemy who had burst in had only just managed to fire a single shot before being knocked to his knees and then finished off with a second shot. He was completely stunned. What just happened? Was he insta-killed? That was way too fast! Did he run into a shotgun god?

Chen Zhao leisurely walked over to loot the crate. There wasn't much he needed, just a few medical supplies and a smoke grenade. Smoke grenades were good items to have in the final circle.

After looting the crate, Chen Zhao heard the wailing of Little Bamboo Shoot upstairs:

"Ah, how could this be! Why!"

Chen Zhao reacted quickly: "This Wife in the Wife Cake, he was your teammate, right? You were chatting with me to stall for time, waiting for him to sneak up on me, right?"

Little Bamboo Shoot: "..."

Little Bamboo Shoot: "Yes..."

Chen Zhao: "If I'm not mistaken, this was your last teammate, right?"

Little Bamboo Shoot: "Wuwuwuwu, yes..."

Little Bamboo Shoot: "Streamer brother, can you not kill me?"

"Give me a reason not to kill you." Chen Zhao said while dragging things out with the girl upstairs, looking for an opportunity to storm the building. He muttered to himself, this streamer Little Bamboo Shoot must have terrible gaming skills, close to that of a bot, otherwise she wouldn't be this cowardly. A normal person would have rushed down to fight or jumped out a window to escape, rather than just crying and begging for mercy upstairs.

"Let's team up. You don't shoot me, I don't shoot you, and we'll enter the final circle together." Little Bamboo Shoot proposed.

Chen Zhao thought for a moment and asked the audience in the livestream via voice chat: "Do you guys think this Little Bamboo Shoot is trustworthy? Can I team up with her? If you say yes, I'll team up with her; if you say no, I'll wipe her out!"

The livestream audience grew excited, with everyone saying something different:

"Team up! Isn't it great to carry a girl to a chicken dinner?!"

"Is your brain broken, streamer! You finally ran into such a great beauty, and you actually want to shoot her?"

"If you're a man, don't listen to her sweet talk! Just take her out with two shotgun blasts!"

"Don't listen to the enemy's lies, streamer, throw a grenade and blow her up!"

"This Little Bamboo Shoot is super trash, the kind of trash that can't even play, you could even beat her to death with a frying pan, streamer!"

"Don't you have any sympathy for the fair sex! Little Bamboo Shoot is so pretty! Can you really bring yourself to kill her?"

Chen Zhao had wanted the fans to make the decision for him, but seeing the conflicting opinions, forget it, he had to make the call himself.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Zhao shouted upstairs: "Let's have a surrender ceremony."

Little Bamboo Shoot's confused voice: "A surrender ceremony?"

"Take off all the equipment on your body and place it at the top of the stairs. Then stand to the side and dance. I'll come up. If I find you've stopped dancing or haven't taken off all your gear, I'll immediately put two rounds from my S686 into your head." Chen Zhao said.

Little Bamboo Shoot: "Wuwuwu, so humiliating... alright then, I'll call you when I'm done."

There was a rustling sound upstairs; she must have been taking off her gear.

A moment later, Little Bamboo Shoot's voice: "I'm going to start dancing now, you can come up."

Chen Zhao carefully held his S686 and charged up, prepared for the possibility of her guarding the stairs with a gun. However, after reaching the top, he did indeed find her standing in the corner dancing, with a huge pile of items on the floor: bullets, drinks, medical kits, guns, helmets, armor, backpacks...

She really surrendered.

Chen Zhao was very surprised. This Little Bamboo Shoot was actually a streamer, yet she was so cowardly that she disarmed and danced the moment she saw an enemy. Who would even follow her! Was she just bragging about being famous?

Unless she was extremely good-looking... but would someone that pretty even need to be a gaming streamer?

She must be a female monster with a loli voice!

Like that Certain Biluo!

Since the other party was so sincere in her surrender, Chen Zhao felt embarrassed to go back on his word. After a brief moment of thought, he laid down three ground rules:

"Fine, let's team up, but I have three requirements."

"First, you can only carry one gun."

"Second, walk in front of me. Go wherever I tell you to go."

"Third... I don't think there's anything else, just stick to the first two!"

Little Bamboo Shoot performed a humiliating nodding motion to show her agreement, then asked weakly, "How long do I have to keep dancing?"

"Stop dancing, quit it. It looks really ugly," Chen Zhao remarked dryly.

"Wuwuwuwu, this dance move was designed by the game, not by me..." Little Bamboo Shoot felt extremely aggrieved.

Chen Zhao looked at the gear Little Bamboo Shoot had taken off on the ground. It was actually a Level 3 Helmet and Level 3 Vest, so he unceremoniously put them on himself. There were also an SLR Marksman Rifle and a Bizon SMG, both of which were weapons Chen Zhao was very comfortable using, so he switched them over to his own inventory.

"Your gear is so fat! A qualified delivery boy is exactly what you are, right? Carrying a pile of good gear, waiting for a fated person to come and take it," Chen Zhao said with pleasant surprise.

"Wuwuwu, stop scolding me, stop it. The circle is shrinking, let's go," Little Bamboo Shoot said pitifully.

Chen Zhao took a look and sure enough, after dawdling here for so long, the circle had already shrunk to seven hundred meters away. He ordered Little Bamboo Shoot to put on her gear and walk in front. They went downstairs, reached the main road, and found a Mountain Buggy by the roadside. Chen Zhao drove, Little Bamboo Shoot sat in the back, and the Mountain Buggy accelerated, tearing through the buildings of P City and speeding toward the lush green mountains in the distance.
