Chapter 107: Chapter 107 – Soloing Turret [Final]
The clinging sound it created echoed loudly in the silent warehouse, gaining unwanted attention from the enemy nearby.
"Ksaa!"
Turret threw its body, rushing at a fast speed.
However, the direction the Infected went to was opposite where he stood, toward where the bullet landed earlier.
\'It\'s working.\' A large grin appeared on his face.
— Breeze is using 200 IQ
— 200 IQ moves! Technically, it still counts as a knife only as he doesn\'t use the handgun!
— Damn! Did he watch some tutorials before this?
— I don\'t think so. This crazy streamer has a good head and good instinct
— He realized it without those. I didn\'t think he read the guide about the enemies at all!
— Kill it!!
Using this chance, he rushed toward Turret. The rattling sound it made from its many legs covered the footsteps, making him undetected by the Infected.
He only had one chance to attack. He needed to kill it in one sweep, or it would just regenerate.
Turret stopped after swinging its sickles from both sides, just like when he attacked Max earlier. The attack pattern was obvious and would reset when it lost sight of its prey.
\'This is my chance!\'
Max jumped with all his strength and aimed at Turret\'s head, which was lowered near the floor due to its earlier attack. It looked around, trying to catch any sound of his location.
However, it couldn\'t find him because he was in the air right now. As much as he wanted to yell and give a dramatic effect as he killed the centipede-like Infected, he couldn\'t risk getting his position known.
As he got close to Turret\'s head, he swung his knife at full power, aiming at the weak spot that was around its neck.
Whoosh! Clang!
The knife cut through its neck easily, but got stopped by something hard right in the middle. The bone was too hard to get a clean cut!
And thanks to the unfinished attack, Turret was now aware of his location. It twisted its neck, still with a knife lodging in it, and opened its mouth menacingly.
"Ksaa!!"
Without hesitation, it tried to bite him.
"Fuck!" Max cursed loudly as he launched his body back to dodge. He used the knife to hang in the air as Turret raised its body.
If he was late for a second, he might already be chewed with those sharp teeth.
"I am not done yet!"
While his position wasn\'t favorable, there was still one thing he could do. It was a gamble, but he took it anyway, trusting his own ability.
The answer was pretty simple: if the bone was too hard to be sliced in one go.
"I just need to smash it."
Max swung his body left and right, making Turret wail in pain and rampage more. It moved its body randomly, trying to shake him off.
That only added to the momentum of his swings. When the time was correct, he let go of his knife and spun his body. He kicked the knife\'s handle and smashed it, forcing it to cut through the hard bone.
Clang! Snap!
The knife snapped in half, unable to handle the force with its already decreased durability. It disappeared with a blue light. But not before finishing its job.
"Take that, centipede bastard! Hahaha!"
Max laughed as he fell to the ground. He didn\'t try to soften the landing this time. Instead, he raised both hands with his middle fingers up at the severed head covered in nasty green blood that fell together on his side.
It was clean.
— Holy!!
— He did it!!
[Freaking Breeze has donated 1,000 diamonds!]
[DAMN! He did it on the first try! ngl, I thought he would die.]
[BugHater has donated 500 diamonds!]
[Good job. I hate centipede. My trauma… Thank you.]
[AmIevenAlive? has donated 600 diamonds!]
[Am I alive?]
[NICcecece has donated 100 diamonds!]
[Wrrryyyyyyyy has donated 2,000 diamonds!]
[Mission completed!]
[12,000 diamonds have been donated!]
— Goddamn! That was clean! I have nothing to say. You deserve my 5,000 diamonds!
— The kick… The spinning kick!
— I was here!
The donations poured in as usual. Max reached the ground with a thud sound. He groaned painfully while picking his body up. His expression morphed into that of a satisfied one.
"Thank you for the donations! Hahaha, I never thought I would beat it on the first try, too, though my knives are now gone. BugHater, I don\'t hate centipedes, but you\'re welcome. And I don\'t know whether you\'re alive or not. Are you even alive?"
Max thanked them one by one as he watched Turret\'s body decay at a fast speed. The centipede-like body had wrinkles with each second passed as if a fast-forward button was pressed, skipping the normal aging process and going straight to decomposition.
Before long, only a trace of its body was left on the floor.
"Well, that was done. How long did it take me to defeat it?"
— Around 30 minutes since you made a commotion? To be honest, you spent too much time hiding
— You should be able to defeat it faster now that you know the trick
— Around 26 minutes! That was an exciting fight. I wanted to try it immediately lol
— If you are asking whether there is a speed run and you score the world record, the answer is there is none.
"What a shame." He shook his head. "It can\'t be helped. I guess I can\'t leave my name in this game then."
— This damned…
— Does he think scoring a world record is easy?
— For him? What do you think?
— This is his 10th day streaming and he already has 2 world records. He\'s like a Storm instead of a Breeze
Reading the last chat, Max stopped on his track. Today was his 10th day of streaming?
\'Wait, the program was 2 days ago, on April 13. And today is April 15.\'
Talking about 15, there was one thing every streamer had been waiting for.
\'It\'s my payday from Punch!\'
His mood was boosted immediately. It went through the roof and beyond as he skipped toward the bullet he had thrown away earlier, picking it up.
— Hey, isn\'t he strangely happy so suddenly?
— Is there a doctor here? Breeze is skipping happily!
— GHOST. HE\'S POSSESSED BY A GHOST!
— MAMA, IT\'S A GHOST! Scary scary ghost! Go away!
— Du dududu du dududu du dududu TAKEKOPUTAA!!
"How rude." Max looked at the camera and sighed, "Can\'t you see I am happy because I realized that today is my 10th day of streaming? We finally hit 2 digits in number. I shall call myself an expert streamer now."
— That\'s a lie
— We all know that you\'re lying. It\'s because of payday, right?
— It\'s definitely because today is Punch payday.
Max only smiled and chuckled at the chat\'s guess. They were absolutely correct.
"Anyway, I will get the flashlight and the loot I put near the stairs earlier and return to the base before ending the stream. We will meet again at 6 PM tonight, guys. It\'s nice to finish this challenge quickly."
— Hehe, we look forward to your date with Flexy and StoneSword
— A three-way date. Kukuku, I will prepare to clip everything.
— Good luck with your date!
Reading the teasing that filled the chat, Max grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"Shut up… I am straight. As straight as a skyscraper."
— Yeah yeah, everyone said that
— Don\'t worry, it only hurts at first
— The stronger you deny it, the more we believe that you\'re not straight
— Get a girlfriend to prove it, you maidenless Breeze!
It was his own fault for getting along with their joke earlier. And now he reaped what he sowed.
\'Hell… I shouldn\'t say they disturb my date earlier. I thought it would be interesting, but who knew they would act this way? Maybe I should get a girlfriend for real so they will stop teasing me about this.\' He thought.
However, when he imagined what would happen if he truly had a girlfriend and the chat knew about it, he immediately changed his mind.
The chat surely would use that to tease him further, like interrogating his girlfriend, if he had one, about him or something along that line. Of course, he could also imagine them hitting on her. It would be utter chaos.
\'Yeah, if I have one, I will keep it a secret until they find out for themselves. There is no way I would tell them.\' He laughed bitterly.
[Livestream ended!]
