Universe Infinite Canteen-Chapter 720 - Review
Ma Lu returned to the save point and immediately grabbed Rabbit Man, who was about to head to the emergency ladder.
"Wait, I think it's prudent that we go over our action plan once more."
Rabbit Man stopped moving, tilted his head, and looked somewhat confused.
Perhaps he felt that during the prior fishing, he had been in charge and they had coordinated well, and Ma Lu, lacking experience in this area, didn't necessitate consultation.
Ma Lu guessed what he was thinking and knew he needed to demonstrate his capability, so he spoke up.
"Are those things below the Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish? They move very fast and have sharp mouths that can pierce metal walls, including one with an unusually large size. How do you plan to deal with them?"
Rabbit Man fell silent for a moment, then pointed at the Flame Sprayer on Ma Lu's back.
"They are afraid of fire?"
Rabbit Man nodded, made a flame gesture, and mimicked the action of jogging.
"Uh, you mean the fire can slow them down?"
Rabbit Man nodded again, Ma Lu roughly understood his plan now, strategically it made sense, but for some reason, there was a delay in execution, leading to him being pierced like a sieve, after which Ma Lu had no choice but to kill himself.
Was that just an accident?
Ma Lu decided to trust him once more, considering Rabbit Man had indeed demonstrated professionalism before.
With the decision made, they headed back to the Third Layer.
Then... at the critical moment, this damned rabbit messed up again; when he needed to shoot, he didn't, and they both got pierced by the flagfish once more.
On the 24th resurrection, Ma Lu shut the door firmly.
He wasn't planning on leaving this room until he figured out what was wrong with this damned rabbit.
Despite previously displaying great expertise and not making any errors, why did he continuously fail at the last moment twice? It didn't make sense.
It's not like everyone had set the flag that after this round we would go back home.
Ma Lu sized up Rabbit Man who stood with his arms akimbo, looking somewhat impatient.
It was not until Ma Lu's gaze swept over the portable cassette player at his waist that something suddenly clicked, sending a shock through his heart.
Could it be his hesitation in the nick of time was because he worried the fire would ignite his beloved cassette player along with the tape?
Thinking back to when they first met and how this guy, impervious to all reason, insisted on killing him despite what he said, Ma Lu had even suspected that it was impossible to communicate with him.
Only after he pulled out his tape did this damned rabbit suddenly become compliant, not only understanding his words but his eyes also cleared, as if afraid Ma Lu might destroy the tape.
Could it really be because of the cassette tape that they all perished?!
Ma Lu decided not to speculate any further and resolved to ask the person involved directly.
"You were planning to use the portable cassette player to lure those Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish, right?"
Rabbit Man nodded, seeming somewhat surprised that Ma Lu had guessed his professional fishing method in advance.
Ma Lu continued to ask, "Then you plan to place the portable cassette player behind a rooftop pipe. Those pipes are narrow and curved; if the flagfish's snout stabs at it, it's highly probable it will slide off, also protecting the cassette player hidden behind."
Rabbit Man nodded again, even more surprised. He hadn't expected Ma Lu to guess even such small details.
"Right, and you hold a Flame Sprayer and pretend to be dead underneath, waiting for the Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish to appear, then you set them ablaze. According to what you said earlier, the flames can slow down the Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish, and then we can step in to kill them."
Ma Lu said it all in one breath.
Rabbit Man was even more astonished, seemingly not expecting his plan to be completely guessed correctly.
Ma Lu finally asked the most crucial question, "But, if the flames might destroy your Walkman and the tape inside, can you still make the move?"
Rabbit Man fell silent.
Although he didn't answer, Ma Lu had already gotten his answer.
He grabbed Rabbit Man by the ears, "Damn, just for a tape, you want to get us both killed?"
Rabbit Man wasn't going to tolerate him; he immediately used a Black Tiger Heart Takedown, hitting Ma Lu right in the chest, and the two started fighting.
Three minutes later, Ma Lu let go of Rabbit Man's ears, and soon after, the other also stopped.
Both were catching their breaths; Rabbit Man's strength and fighting skills were superior, but Ma Lu's advantage was his extensive combat experience with this very opponent, nearly memorizing all his moves.
With a raise of his hand, Ma Lu already knew what move Rabbit was going to use, so in the end, neither gained an upper hand, and both were sore.
But at least Ma Lu felt a bit better, grinning through the pain as he spoke to Rabbit Man next to him.
"Since you can't part with your Walkman and tape, let's find another way to draw those Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish over."

Rabbit Man did not refuse, and the two searched the Fourth Layer again but couldn't find anything that could make a noise.
Eventually, Ma Lu had an inspired idea; he cut off some steel wire, tied some irregular metal blocks to it, and attached the other end of the wires in front of a fan on the Third Layer.
He crafted a makeshift wind chime.
Then, Ma Lu found an empty room to hide in, while Rabbit Man continued playing dead in mid-air.
Soon, the noise of the metal blocks attracted the swarm of Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish, which began attacking the blocks and the wires.
This time, Rabbit Man didn't miss the chance; he decisively fired a huge blaze from the Flame Sprayer, engulfing all the Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish within it.
Simultaneously, Rabbit Man also retreated, nearly half a second after he moved, a sharp snout pierced the ground where he had been standing!
The counterattack of the Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish was quick and fierce, especially the largest one, which charged at Rabbit Man initially, but now at least their movements were slow enough to be captured by the human eye.
Without hesitating, Ma Lu immediately picked up the Cutting Gun and shot the largest of the Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish directly. The Cutting Gun was particularly effective against these slender fish.
If he was lucky, he could cut them in half.
Although the Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish wasn't small enough for that, the shot still sliced through a third of its body, causing blood to splatter.
As for the smaller Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish, their movements became even slower in the flames, barely turning around.
It seemed Rabbit Man was right, the flames did reduce the speed of the Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish.
Ma Lu frantically emptied the magazine of the Cutting Gun, while in his other hand, he also grabbed the submachine gun, firing both simultaneously.
Under his barrage, fish turned belly up one after the other, and that large fish, over 6 meters long, had its belly completely split open, intestines pouring out, looking on the verge of death.
