Chapter 76 Death (Second Update)
"What? You said they were all regular troops?"
Wang Yin was dumbfounded.
"Otherwise, how could they have beaten us so badly?"
Dino's nerves were stretched to the limit.
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge explosion swept out, the side wall of the house was blown open, and the blasted cement blocks rushed into the living room.
Immediately afterwards, two melon grenades were thrown into the living room.
Seeing this, Dino quickly pulled down the sofa to cover himself and Wang Yin.
Boom!
A huge explosion swept out.
Two players from the Star Guild took the opportunity to rush in.
"Ah!"
At this moment, Xu Lie suddenly rushed out from the side kitchen, raised his gun and opened fire.
Bang bang!
The two players were directly hit and killed.
At this moment, Lu Chuan also rushed in with his men and opened fire on Xu Lie.
Xu Lie was hit by more than a dozen shots and fell down unwillingly.
At this moment, Dino used the sofa as cover and fired at Lu Chuan and the others who rushed in.
In an instant, one of Lu Chuan's subordinates was shot multiple times and died instantly.
Lu Chuan and his men returned fire while retreating.
The next second,
bang!
The door was kicked open.
Several players from the Starry Night Guild rushed in.
Dino immediately turned around and fired wildly with his rifle.
"Ah!"
A player was instantly killed by a headshot.
"Damn it, all of you die!"
At this moment, Wang Yin, who was lying on the ground, also stood up recklessly, raised his M411 rifle, and sprayed bullets at the players rushing in through the door.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan and his men rushed in again, throwing in high-explosive grenades one after another.
"Damn it!"
Dino cursed helplessly as he looked at the high-explosive grenades thrown in.
Boom!
The huge explosion blew the two men to pieces.
On the street,
Zhao Chen and Yan Huai covered Qin Ye and Qin Ying's escape.
Adika relentlessly pursued them, firing continuously.
Yan Huai was instantly shot in the head, his eyes wide open, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Young Master, run!"
Seeing Yan Huai killed, Zhao Chen stopped and hid behind a car, firing wildly at Adika and his men.
Adika and his men immediately took cover.
Qin Ye and Qin Ying ran forward desperately.
Soon, Zhao Chen's magazine was empty.
As he quickly reloaded, one of Adika's subordinates circled around and opened fire.
"Ah!" Zhao Chen
was riddled with bullets and fell to the ground unwillingly.
Hearing the scream, Qin Ye turned around and saw Zhao Chen dead. His face turned green, and he ran forward desperately.
At this moment, Adika, having dealt with the troublesome Zhao Chen, immediately led his men to chase after Qin Ye and Qin Ying.
Just as Qin Ye and Qin Ying were about to be caught,
Long Ming suddenly appeared from a side alley, raised his carbine, and fired a grenade.
"Dodge!"
Adika's expression changed drastically, and he immediately rolled to dodge.
Boom!
A huge explosion rose up.
"Red Ghost!"
Qin Ye and his companion were startled, but upon recognizing Long Ming, they exclaimed with delight.
"Go!"
Long Ming didn't waste any words, leading Qin Ye and his companion into the alley.
Adika, his face grim, shouted to his subordinates,
"Chase!"
"Yes, sir!"
The subordinates followed Adika in pursuit.
Hearing the commotion behind them, Long Ming frowned and led Qin Ye and his companion through a maze of paths, trying to shake off their pursuers.
However, this maneuver not only failed to shake them off, but the distance actually closed, as if the pursuers were using cheat codes.
Long Ming's eyes turned cold. After rounding a bend, he reached into his tactical belt, pulled the pins on two high-explosive grenades, and threw them on the ground.
When Adika and his men reached the bend, they immediately saw the two high-explosive grenades on the ground.
"Damn it, grenades!"
One of his subordinates leaped forward.
Adika and his men immediately retreated!
Boom!
The massive explosion ripped the player to pieces, splattering blood and flesh everywhere.
Adika, recovering from his shock, looked at his dead subordinate, his expression darkening further. He coldly ordered,
"Chase after them!"
"Yes, sir!"
The subordinates angrily gave chase.
Meanwhile, Long Ming, leading Qin Ye and Qin Ying, reached a corner.
Qin Ye, panting, asked Long Ming,
"Red Ghost, what do we do now? Those bastards are catching up quickly; we can't shake them off."
After listening to Qin Ye's words, Long Ming turned to look at the distance. There were two forks in the road ahead, so he hoarsely said to Qin Ye and Qin Ying,
"You two escape through the right fork ahead and run towards the center of the base city. I'll lure them away through the left fork, and then I'll come find you."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Qin Ye didn't hesitate at all and immediately led Qin Ying away through the right fork ahead.
Long Ming ran to the left fork ahead and stopped, quickly changing his magazine.
Soon, Adika and his men caught up.
Long Ming decisively leaned out and fired fiercely at Adika and his men.
Bang! Bang!
"Ah!"
One of Adika's subordinates was hit and cried out in pain before falling to the ground.
A player from the Star Guild immediately reached out and pulled his wounded companion back, then took out a syringe and injected him.
Adika and his men immediately raised their weapons and returned fire at Long Ming.
Long Ming turned and ran!
"Left, chase!"
Adika's face was grim as he led his men in pursuit.
As Long Ming fled, he would occasionally stop and fire a few shots at Adika and the others, weaving them through the residential area.
Adika was furious; Long Ming was not only incredibly fast, but also as slippery as a loach.
"Captain, who is this guy? He's so difficult to deal with!"
Huo Liang looked like he'd seen a ghost; this was the first time they'd encountered such a troublesome enemy.
"Even if he's difficult, we have to kill him!"
Adika cursed viciously.
Just then, Long Ming ran past a building, then retreated, looking at a galvanized pipe on the wall.
He immediately grabbed the pipe, quickly climbed onto the roof, raised his carbine, and unleashed a barrage of fire at Adika and the others who were chasing after him.
Bang! Bang!
"Ah!"
Two players from the Stars Guild were shot dead on the spot.
"Bastard!"
Adika roared in fury, firing back at Long Ming on the roof.
Long Ming activated his power-driven mechanical shoes and dashed towards the adjacent house, leaping across and landing lightly on its roof.
Adika and the others immediately turned their guns.
However, before they could fire, Long Ming quickly jumped to the next house and ran further and further away!
"Captain Adika, that guy got away, what do we do now?"
Huo Liang asked, bewildered.
"Damn it!"
Adika slapped his thigh, his face ashen.
He had confidently assured Captain Luo Bing that he could easily wipe out these mercenaries, but now he had lost over a dozen men, and several had escaped.
At this moment, a subordinate rushed over and reported to Adika,
"Captain, Captain Luo Bing is here."
"Let's go!"
Adika had no choice but to lead his men in retreat.
A moment later.
Long Ming lay on the roof of a seven-story hotel, holding an M24 sniper rifle, using a scope to search for Qin Ye and Qin Ying.
He searched for a long time but couldn't find them.
"Strange, where did they go?"
Long Ming looked puzzled.
Normally, the two shouldn't have gone far. But then Long Ming suddenly saw Lu Xu being dragged by Adika's subordinates to a woman wearing a fox mask
on the street in the distance . "I'm sorry! Commander Luo Bing, this was my mistake. I failed to capture them all, allowing several to escape, and we lost so many men." Adika bowed his head and apologized to Commander Luo Bing. Qian Luobing glanced at Adika and raised her hand to signal him to step back. Adika respectfully stepped aside. Qian Luobing walked up to Lu Xu, looking down at him, and coldly asked, "Which guild are you from?" "Go to hell, who do you think you are? Why should I answer you?" Lu Xu retorted defiantly. Hearing this, Qian Luobing didn't say another word. She simply drew an ice-blue automatic pistol and pulled the trigger directly at Lu Xu. Bang! Lu Xu's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Long Ming raised an eyebrow when he saw Lu Xu killed. Fortunately, it wasn't his sugar daddy who died. However, he didn't intend to let these people go. If he wasn't mistaken, the girl wearing the fox mask should be the leader of this group of players from the Starry Sky Guild. Long Ming immediately adjusted the muzzle of his gun, held his breath, and locked onto the fox-masked woman. "Die!" Swoosh! A bullet pierced the air, hurtling towards Qian Luobing. Eric instantly sensed the danger, swiftly raising his massive shield to block it. *Bang!* The bullet struck the corner of the shield, producing a piercing sound. Jiang Huai and the others' expressions changed drastically. "Sniper!" "Rooftop of the building at 3 o'clock!" Eric immediately reported the location after blocking the attack. Hearing Eric's directions, Bakahn raised his Gatling gun towards Long Ming's location. Long Ming was startled to see his sniper shot blocked by the shield dog. Then, seeing Bakahn raise his Gatling gun and aim at him, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned and ran. * Bang! Bang! * A hail of bullets rained down! *Clang! Clang!* Dense bullets struck the roof behind him, instantly scattering cement and sending dust flying. Long Ming ran for his life! The roof behind him was riddled with holes. Fortunately, the Gatling gun ran out of ammunition soon. "Phew~" Long Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a piercing sound came from behind. Long Ming turned around and saw a mobile suit hurtling towards him at incredible speed. His expression changed drastically, and he immediately ran forward as fast as he could. A wide street came into view, but there were no buildings ahead to jump over. The buzzing sound behind him grew increasingly piercing and loud. Long Ming's expression hardened, and he jumped down. The next second, the mobile suit crashed straight into the roof. Boom~ A huge explosion swept outwards, blasting a large hole in the roof of the entire residential building. When the explosion ended, Long Ming was seen clinging to the fifth-floor windowsill, hanging in mid-air. "A bunch of lunatics," Long Ming couldn't help but curse, then let go, falling freely. He then reached out and grabbed the fourth-floor windowsill. The next second, he let go again, falling freely, and grabbed the third-floor windowsill. Long Ming landed easily on the ground and turned to run. Jiang Huai, watching the static on the control screen, reported to Qian Luobing, "Encountered a master, couldn't kill him." "Take him down!" Qian Luobing raised her hand and coldly gave the order. "Yes!" Adika and the others immediately led their men in pursuit. In the alley , Long Ming ran frantically, his intuition telling him that those people wouldn't let him go easily. Sure enough, not long after, he heard a noise above him and looked up. He saw a reconnaissance drone searching for him in the distance. Long Ming's heart sank. His expression shifted, and he decisively raised his M24 sniper rifle, aiming at the reconnaissance drone. At that moment, the drone's camera rotated, locking onto Long Ming.
Bang!
Long Ming pulled the trigger.
The drone was hit and fell like a kite with a broken string.
Long Ming stared at the falling drone, his tense expression not relaxing at all. Instead, he turned and ran for his life.
It was obvious that the group had spotted him.
However, under normal circumstances, they shouldn't be able to catch him, given the distance and his speed.
But for some reason, Long Ming felt extremely uneasy.
Vroom!
The noise of a motorcycle came from behind.
Upon hearing the sound, Long Ming abandoned any remaining hope and immediately put away his M24 sniper rifle and switched to a carbine.
He ran forward without seeking shelter in a building.
Having learned from his previous experience of blowing up a building, Long Ming completely ignored the strategy of guarding a building; he didn't want to die again in frustration.
Vroom!
A motorcycle suddenly appeared from the intersection ahead, then braked sharply!
But before the player could fire,
Long Ming unleashed a barrage of fire from his carbine.
Bang! Bang!
Boom!
The player and his motorcycle were hit by a hail of bullets and fell to the ground.
Long Ming accelerated forward and jumped off the motorcycle.
"There!"
At that moment, two players from the Stars Guild caught up from the alley to his left and started firing at Long Ming.
Long Ming's heart sank, and he ran forward desperately.
Bullets whizzed past him.
Suddenly, a Stars Guild player wearing roller skates rushed out from around the corner ahead, raising his gun and aiming at Long Ming.
Long Ming also aimed at the other player immediately.
Just as the two were about to exchange fire,
Bang!
The Stars Guild player was shot in the head.
Long Ming looked up at the window of the building on his right and saw Wei Zhang jump down.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect us to run into each other."
Wei Zhang said cheerfully.
Long Ming didn't answer Wei Zhang's words, but instead raised his carbine and pointed it at him.
Wei Zhang's lips curled up slightly, and he quickly raised his automatic rifle.
The two pulled the triggers and fired at the same time.
Bang! Bang!
"Ah!"
In an instant, the players from the Stars Guild who had been chasing them were riddled with bullets.
Then, both sides simultaneously and in perfect unison, reloaded.
"What are you going to do next?"
Wei Zhang asked Long Ming with interest.
"Your sugar daddy's been killed, aren't you leaving?"
Long Ming looked at Wei Zhang coldly.
"I don't care about that little bit of money, I want the thrill."
Wei Zhang revealed a chilling smile.
"Hmph!"
Long Ming ran straight ahead.
Wei Zhang immediately followed.
(End of Chapter)-+ Chapter 78 Counterattack (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Jueying Xuantian) (Fourth Update)
The two ran relentlessly through the maze of alleyways, trying to shake off their pursuers.
However, the players from the Starry Sky Guild were like a persistent plague, relentlessly chasing them and constantly ambushing and killing them.
Bang bang~
Long Ming and Wei Zhang coordinated perfectly, quickly shooting down the players blocking their way and constantly breaking through their defenses.
Unfortunately, the number of Starry Sky Guild players catching up was increasing. A quick
Google search for TWKAN
and the two reached the end of the road, where a large shopping mall with dilapidated exterior walls came into view.
Long Ming's eyes flashed, and he glanced back at them. Seeing that escape was impossible, he said to Wei Zhang,
"Go in."
"Interesting, are you planning to fight them to the death?"
Wei Zhang's face showed excitement.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Long Ming, too lazy to say more, rushed straight in.
Wei Zhang's lips curled slightly, and he followed into the mall.
The mall was a five-story structure, the interior a mess, with shattered glass, collapsed counters, and damaged merchandise scattered on the floor.
"Upstairs!"
Long Ming and Wei Zhang quickly ran to the second floor.
The two raised their guns and aimed at the entrance.
At this moment, two players from the Stars Guild tentatively entered.
Long Ming and Wei Zhang fired without hesitation!
Bang! Bang!
Instantly, one player was killed, and the other player immediately retreated.
Outside the mall.
Adika, seeing his subordinates forced out, grew increasingly gloomy and gave orders to the group.
"Leave one team to guard the main entrance. The rest of you, disperse and enter the mall through the side and back doors. We must take care of this guy before the leader and the others arrive."
"Yes, sir!"
The subordinates immediately dispersed, sneaking towards the mall's various entrances.
Inside the mall.
Wei Zhang glanced at the main entrance, seeing that the enemy hadn't rushed in again, and turned to Long Ming with interest.
"They're not stupid; they won't blindly rush in through the main entrance. I reckon they've already sneaked in through the various entrances."
"I know."
"Oh, so what do you plan to do next?"
"Have you ever played cat and mouse?"
Long Ming asked coldly.
"You mean we should hide like mice?"
"Wrong, we're the cats."
"Interesting. Just don't die before me, or this game won't be fun."
Wei Zhang licked his lips, an excited expression on his face.
"You should worry about yourself first!"
Long Ming turned and left to the right.
Seeing Long Ming leave, Wei Zhang also turned and left.
At this moment, Adika and the others silently crept in through the various entrances.
They dispersed and made their way towards the escalators and fire escape staircases.
Soon, Adika and his group reached the second floor, but they didn't see Long Ming and his companion.
"Captain Adika, they seem to be hiding."
"Hiding? I'll see where they can hide! Search!"
Adika's face flashed with a fierce glint as he immediately gave the order.
"Yes, sir!"
The group scattered and began searching.
A dozen minutes later.
A muscular man wearing the Stars Guild armband, carrying a submachine gun, cautiously crept into an arcade.
The arcade covered over a thousand square meters, and due to a power outage, the interior was very dark.
Various arcade machines and chairs lay overturned on the floor.
A creak—
a faint sound came from the side.
The man in front of him reacted instinctively, turning around and raising his gun.
He didn't see any enemy, only a rat darting past.
"Phew~"
The man let out a slight sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a hand covered his mouth from behind, followed by a red tactical dagger piercing his heart through his back.
His eyes widened, then he went limp, lifeless.
Long Ming gently laid the body down.
Footsteps sounded outside.
Long Ming's gaze grew colder. He immediately hid to the right of the shop entrance, pressed himself against the wall, and drew his silenced venomous fang.
Two players from the Stars Guild crept in.
"Qian Yue?"
"Where's the strange guy?"
Long Ming decisively fired a shot into his back.
*Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Both players were instantly shot in the head and fell to the ground.
Long Ming didn't loot the bag; instead, he peeked outside to make sure there were no enemies nearby before quickly leaving.
Meanwhile, a player from the Stars Guild cautiously entered a small clothing store.
Suddenly, a dark figure jumped down from the door.
The Stars Guild player, hearing the noise, turned around...
A cold glint flashed across his neck, and crimson blood splattered out.
"Ah!"
The player whose throat had been slit tried to make a sound to warn his companions, but unfortunately, he couldn't speak at all, and finally collapsed unwillingly.
Wei Zhang licked his lips and counted in a low voice.
"The second one."
Half an hour later.
In the lobby on the first floor, the players of the Stars Guild reunited with Adika.
"Found them?"
Adika asked grimly.
"No."
"Captain, could they have already escaped?"
a subordinate asked hesitantly.
"Impossible, where are Qian Yue and the others?"
Adika suddenly noticed that many people were missing from the gathering.
"I don't know."
The subordinates present turned to look at each other.
"Alright, alright, alright! These guys are playing cat and mouse with us."
Adika suddenly realized that these two were secretly devouring his people, and he was both angry and amused.
He never expected to be so embarrassed when facing a rogue; he was almost completely humiliated.
"Captain, what do we do now?"
Everyone looked at Adika.
They were already short-handed, and the mall was huge. If they continued to split up and search, they might actually be overrun by each other.
Adika was now in a dilemma.
Just then, footsteps approached.
Adika turned around and saw Qian Luobing walking in alone.
"Captain, what brings you here!"
"Where is everyone?"
Qian Luobing asked coldly.
"That guy and an accomplice were hiding in this mall. We spread out to search, but quite a few people were killed,"
Adika reported, head bowed.
Qian Luobing's eyes grew even colder upon hearing this.
She hadn't expected to encounter such great resistance and suffer so many casualties in wiping out a small group.
However, this didn't deter her; instead, it strengthened her resolve.
"Search!"
"Yes!"
Adika and the others responded immediately.
In the dimly lit theater, Screening Room 3, Long
Ming lay prone under a chair, wielding his venomous fang. A series of footsteps sounded outside. Hearing the sound, Long Ming narrowed his eyes—the prey was here! A creak— the half-open door was pushed open. "It's so dark!" "Be careful, don't get caught in the gutter." "These two guys are strong." "Understood!" Two players from the Stars Guild cautiously entered to search. With the heat sensor of the Red Demon Mask amplifying his senses, Long Ming clearly locked onto the two, then held his breath, waiting for them to approach. Soon, the two Stars Guild players found the area where Long Ming was hiding. (End of Chapter)
-+ Chapter 79 Qian Luobing (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Jueying Xuantian) (Fifth Update)
Long Ming suddenly got up without warning and quickly pulled the trigger.
Swoosh~
Before a player from the Stars Guild could even see what was happening, he was shot in the head by Long Ming.
Another
player's body was forced to the side, and bullets hit his body one after another.
He endured the intense pain and forced to pull the trigger.
Bang bang~
A huge sound rang out.
"Damn it!"
Long Ming's expression changed drastically, and he immediately rushed out.
At this time, Qian Luobing outside heard the gunshot and immediately led several subordinates to rush towards the movie theater.
On the other side, Adika heard the gunshot and shouted to his subordinates.
"Go!"
But just as Adika was about to rush over,
*bang bang*
—a burst of bullets swept past them from behind.
"Ah!"
Two players were hit and fell to the ground.
Adika immediately turned around and saw Wei Zhang, who had taken the initiative to appear, turn and run.
"Bastard, chase after him!"
Adika immediately led his men in pursuit.
Long Ming had just reached the movie theater lobby when he bumped into Huo Liang and his group.
Without hesitation, he raised his carbine, pulled the trigger, and fired a grenade.
"Scatter!"
Huo Liang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly dodged to the side.
*Boom!*
The huge explosion instantly blasted two players from the Star Guild away.
Long Ming raised his carbine and opened fire fiercely on Huo Liang and his group.
Bang! Bang!
Ah!
Accompanied by screams, Huo Liang and the others were shot dead.
Whew!
Long Ming breathed a sigh of relief, deciding not to lick the bag anymore and preparing to leave the hall.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps and immediately looked up.
He saw a cold figure walk in.
Upon seeing the fox-masked woman, Long Ming immediately felt a great sense of danger and turned to run towards the playback hall corridor.
At this moment, Qian Luobing raised her automatic pistol and quickly fired at Long Ming.
Bang! Bang!
Long Ming made a dull sound as he retreated into the playback hall corridor.
Then, Qian Luobing stretched out her white cloth shoe, flicked the fallen automatic pistol at the ground, caught the weapon, and walked towards the playback hall corridor.
Inside the screening room corridor.
Long Ming's face contorted in pain.
He'd been shot in the back.
Fortunately, his military-grade body armor had withstood the bullet.
Enduring the pain, Long Ming changed magazines. As he retaliated, a high-explosive grenade was thrown.
He immediately leaped backward.
Boom!
A massive explosion erupted.
Long Ming scrambled to his feet and quickly dashed into the adjacent Screening Room 1.
Qian Luobing strolled leisurely into the screening room corridor, turning to look at the open door of Screening Room 1. Inside
Screening Room 1.
Long Ming stood on the sloping passageway, gripping his carbine and aiming down at the entrance.
If the fox-masked woman dared to enter, he would shoot her dead immediately.
Just then, a flashbang was thrown in.
"Not good."
Long Ming's expression changed slightly.
*Snap*
—A dazzling light exploded.
Long Ming was instantly blinded, and then, relying on his memory, he jumped towards a nearby chair.
At this moment, Qian Luobing rushed in, her eyes quickly scanning the entire screening room, and then she opened fire on the area where Long Ming was hiding!
*Bang bang*
—chairs were smashed
one after another. Long Ming rolled forward, then raised his carbine to return fire.
Qian Luobing immediately retreated to the passageway, using the entrance of the screening room as cover to fight back.
The two continued to exchange fire.
*Click click!
* Qian Luobing's rifle suddenly ran out of bullets.
She tossed aside her rifle, drew her blue automatic pistol, and prepared to fire.
Suddenly, she heard the faint sound of a pin being pulled, followed by a detonating grenade being thrown.
Qian Luobing, having heard the sound, swiftly retreated and slammed the door shut.
Boom!
A massive explosion erupted again.
Qian Luobing watched this scene, her eyes flickering slightly, and then pulled out another flashbang and threw it into the screening room.
She then rushed inside with incredible speed.
But upon entering, she found the entire screening room empty; Long Ming was nowhere to be seen.
She looked towards the open emergency exit door at the back of the screening room and immediately gave chase.
As Qian Luobing reached the emergency staircase, she heard hurried footsteps below, followed by a group of subordinates running up.
Upon seeing Qian Luobing, they quickly spoke.
"Captain."
Qian Luobing glanced at them and immediately chased after him up the stairs.
She quickly reached the mall's rooftop.
However, by then, Long Ming had already slid down the rooftop drainpipe!
Qian Luobing walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down.
She saw Long Ming run into a maze of alleyways, quickly escaping the area.
"Interesting, he's pretty fast."
Qian Luobing's eyes flickered slightly. She took out two syringes, one red and one blue, from her tactical belt and injected them into her arm.
A moment later.
Long Ming was running through the narrow alleyways. He glanced back and, seeing no one was chasing him, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had finally escaped, but Long Ming felt a little embarrassed; he had betrayed Wei Zhang and run away alone.
Just then, a blur of motion appeared from around the corner.
"Damn it!"
Long Ming's expression changed drastically. He stopped abruptly and raised his carbine to fire.
Qian Luobing delivered a high roundhouse kick, sending the weapon flying from Long Ming's hand.
"Damn it!"
Long Ming's expression shifted slightly, and he threw a punch at Luobing.
Qian Luobing tilted her head slightly, precisely dodging the attack, and her sharp right foot swept through the air.
Long Ming instinctively blocked!
Thud!
The immense force forced Long Ming back a step.
A look of surprise crossed his face. He hadn't been able to match her strength? He then instinctively reached for the venomous fangs on his tactical belt.
Qian Luobing's eyes flashed, and she charged forward, her long right leg kicking out.
Long Ming immediately raised his left hand, bending his arm to block!
*Thump!*
Qian Luobing then leaped into the air with her left foot, aiming straight for Long Ming's face.
Long Ming could only raise his right hand to block, barely managing to deflect the attack, staggering a few steps.
After landing, Qian Luobing lightly touched the ground with her toes, delivering a swift, powerful back kick that struck Long Ming squarely in the abdomen.
A look of pain immediately appeared on Long Ming's face as he stumbled backward against the alley wall.
At this moment, Qian Luobing caught up, delivering a powerful kick directly at Long Ming.
Long Ming also immediately rolled away to dodge.
Qian Luobing missed her footing, landing on the alley wall, then twisted her body and launched a horizontal kick at Long Ming.
Long Ming immediately raised both hands to block, staggering backward.
His heart sank to the bottom; he hadn't expected this woman to be so skilled.
Moreover, her basic attributes completely overwhelmed his.
Then Long Ming noticed that Qian Luobing's eyes were slightly glowing, clearly indicating that she had been injected with drugs.
No wonder he was fighting so futilely, but Long Ming wasn't intimidated.
He took a deep breath, his toes barely touching the ground, and launched a fierce attack on Qian Luobing, a powerful straight punch whistling towards her face.
(End of Chapter)-+ Chapter 80 Cunning (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Jueying Xuantian) (Sixth Update)
Qian Luobing moved nimbly, dodging like a fish, then swiftly lunged forward, her left palm shaped like a knife, aiming straight for Long Ming's armpit.
Long Ming was startled and slapped away with his left hand, delivering a high roundhouse kick.
Qian Luobing swiftly retreated to avoid the attack, coldly saying,
"The military fighting techniques of Shancheng Mountain, who are you?"
However, Long Ming did not answer her.
"Won't talk? Then I'll beat you until you do."
A red light flashed in Qian Luobing's eyes, and she lunged forward with lightning speed, delivering a powerful hook punch to Long Ming's abdomen.
Long Ming let out a muffled thud, a look of pain flashing across his face. He staggered backward, reaching for his fang.
But the next second, his hand, reaching for the gun, was grabbed by a long, slender, pale hand.
Startled, Long Ming swung his left fist in a fierce strike.
Qian Luobing immediately raised her other hand, catching Long Ming's fist.
Long Ming then lunged forward, delivering a sharp elbow strike with his right hand.
Qian Luobing swiftly dodged, turning and kicking Long Ming in the back.
Enduring the pain, Long Ming used the momentum to roll away and create distance. He then pulled a smoke grenade from his tactical belt, pulled the pin, and threw it on the ground.
*Sizzle*
—Instantly, a large amount of smoke billowed out.
"Trying to run?"
Qian Luobing's eyes flickered, and she rushed in with incredible speed.
*Click*—At
that moment, Qian Luobing heard a faint sound of a pin being pulled, immediately sensing danger. She quickly jumped back, retreating from the smoke.
*Boom*—A
huge explosion swept outwards.
When the smoke cleared, Long Ming had vanished.
Qian Luobing immediately gave chase.
Shortly after, the manhole cover was pushed open, and Long Ming peeked out. Seeing no one was around, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He'd finally fooled them; thankfully, the cover could be opened, or he would have been done for.
Long Ming quickly got up, grabbed his carbine, and ran.
A short while later, Qian Luobing returned.
Adika and the others arrived and respectfully inquired,
"Captain, was that guy taken care of?"
Qian Luobing didn't answer Adika's question but glanced around, noticing the carbine was missing.
"What a cunning rat,"
a hint of interest appeared on Qian Luobing's face beneath her mask.
She hadn't encountered a worthy opponent in a long time.
Meanwhile,
in an alley, Qin Ye and Qin Ying were fleeing towards the city center in a disheveled state.
"Big brother, what do we do now?"
"Let's run to the vicinity of the city center first, then find a place to hide and wait for Red Ghost to come for us."
"Can Red Ghost survive?"
"He should be fine."
Qin Ye was momentarily speechless, his voice lacking any confidence.
After all, the guys they were intercepting were from the Stars Guild.
He knew in his heart how strong the players from the three major guilds were; even the weakest of those guys were about as good as the ones he had hired for a hefty sum.
Just as the two of them ran out of the alley,
they bumped into twelve players wearing armbands with iron shield insignia on their shoulders.
They all turned to look at Qin Ye and Qin Ying.
Qin Ye and his companion quickly stopped and raised their guns, pointing them at the group of players.
"Big brother, there are so many of them,"
Qin Ying said fearfully.
"Don't be afraid, big brother will protect you,"
Qin Ye said firmly, shielding Qin Ying behind him.
At this moment, a sleazy-looking man said to a middle-aged man with a burly face and wearing heavy bulletproof vest,
"Brother Hao, we've run into two fat sheep."
"Hehe!"
Zhou Hao, hearing Ma Rui's words, showed an excited expression and prepared to take care of the two.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Qin Ye quickly shouted.
"Don't shoot! I'm Young Master Qin from the Jia Ye Group. I'm willing to pay you a hefty sum to hire you."
"Young Master Qin? How much?"
Zhou Hao immediately asked upon hearing that the other party was a young master willing to pay.
After all, Qin Ye had some reputation, and he had heard of him to some extent.
"20 million One-Dimensional Coins!"
Qin Ye quickly offered his offer.
Zhou Hao was very tempted by Qin Ye's words.
However, at this moment, Ma Rui whispered to Brother Hao...
"Brother Hao, that guy's from Sin City, we might not be able to get that money. But look at his gear and that gold gun he's carrying, that's incredibly valuable! And since he's the big spender, he definitely has other good stuff on him."
Zhou Hao nodded, then raised his hand to signal his subordinate to put away the gun, and replied with a smile.
"Okay, we accept your offer."
"Great!"
Qin Ye breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and walked towards Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao, leading Ma Rui, went to meet them.
As they met, Hao suddenly grabbed Qin Ye's automatic rifle.
"What are you doing?"
Qin Ye was immediately startled.
"I'll kill you!"
Ma Rui drew his tactical dagger and slit Qin Ye's throat; blood gushed out.
"Big Brother!"
Qin Ying, seeing Qin Ye had been tricked, angrily raised his multi-shot grenade launcher and fired.
Ma Rui was startled and immediately rolled away to dodge.
Before Zhou Hao could react, he was hit by the grenade!
Boom!
A massive explosion swept out.
Zhou Hao was instantly blasted away, becoming a charred corpse.
"Damn it, kill her!"
Ma Rui shouted pathetically as he got up.
The crowd immediately raised their guns and opened fire on Qin Ying.
Bang! Bang!
Qin Ying retreated into the alley, simultaneously unleashing a barrage of grenades.
Boom! Boom!
Ma Rui and the others were thrown about, but because they were spread out, Qin Ying only killed a few.
With ammunition almost depleted,
Qin Ying immediately turned and ran.
"Chase after her!"
Ma Rui waved to his subordinates, ordering them to give chase, while he stayed behind to loot Qin Ye's dropped bag.
Meanwhile, Long Ming darted rapidly through the residential buildings; he had already wasted too much time and needed to rejoin Qin Ye and Qin Ying as soon as possible.
Boom!
Suddenly, a violent explosion echoed from afar.
Long Ming glanced around, then looked at the map through his wristband.
The direction of the explosion seemed to be the route Bai Xiu had shared.
He changed direction and ran towards it.
As Long Ming reached a bend in the alley, he heard hurried footsteps.
He gripped his carbine and rushed around the bend.
"Ah!"
Qin Ying jumped in fright.
"It's you!"
Long Ming was also surprised to see Qin Ying and immediately moved his gun aside.
Qin Ying recognized the person he had bumped into and patted his chest, panting.
"You scared me to death."
"Where's Qin Ye?"
Long Ming glanced behind Qin Ying and asked with a hint of unease.
"We ran into a group of players, and Big Brother got ambushed and killed,"
Qin Ying explained sadly.
Upon hearing Qin Ying's words, Long Ming's heart sank. However, thankfully, one of his patrons was still alive. He said to Qin Ying,
"I understand. Come with me!"
"Okay."
Qin Ying obediently followed Long Ming away.
(End of Chapter)-+ Chapter 81 Waiting for the Right Time (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Jueying Xuantian) (Seventh Update)
A moment later.
Ma Rui ran over with six subordinates. He turned his head and looked around, asking angrily,
"Where are they?"
"I don't know, we followed them nearby but couldn't find them."
The
subordinate next to him explained helplessly.
At this moment, a grenade suddenly fell from above.
"Damn!"
Ma Rui was immediately shocked and dropped to the ground.
Boom!
The huge explosion killed three players instantly.
At this moment, Long Ming emerged from the roof and raised his carbine, firing rapidly.
Bang bang~
Three players were instantly killed by the bursts.
Seeing this, Ma Rui was terrified and ran away!
Long Ming raised his carbine and fired accurately.
*Bang!
* "Ah, my foot!"
Ma Rui immediately fell to the ground, painfully raising his golden pistol to retaliate.
*Bang!
* His wrist was struck, and the pistol fell to the ground.
Long Ming fired another burst, crippling Ma Rui's other hand.
After doing this, he led Qin Ying to the fallen Ma Rui and coldly asked,
"Is it him?"
"Yes, it's him!"
Qin Ying shouted excitedly.
Long Ming picked up the fallen golden pistol and handed it to Qin Ying.
Qin Ying gripped the gun and pointed it at Ma Rui.
A look of terror appeared in Ma Rui's eyes, and Qin Ying immediately pulled the trigger.
*Bang!*
Ma Rui was instantly killed by a headshot.
Long Ming then reached out to Qin Ying.
Qin Ying was also taken aback, looking at Long Ming with a puzzled expression.
"This is my trophy."
"Ah, this gun is my older brother's favorite. Should I buy it?"
"No, I like it too."
Long Ming refused outright.
Although this gold pistol didn't have a silencer, its bullets were powerful and armor-piercing.
"Alright."
Qin Ying immediately handed the pistol to Long Ming.
After taking the pistol, Long Ming crouched down to pick up Ma Rui's dropped backpack.
He rummaged through the backpack and found three medical syringes, two magazines, two high-explosive grenades, and even stripped off a high-grade military bulletproof vest to put on.
As for the heavy bulletproof helmet, Long Ming didn't pick it up. He couldn't use the Red Demon Mask, and besides, it was too bulky; picking it up would only add to his burden.
Qin Ying stood aside, quietly watching Long Ming rummage through the items.
"Alright, let's go!"
After Long Ming finished rummaging, he led Qin Ying towards the city center.
Whenever they heard any fighting along the way, Long Ming immediately changed routes.
Soon after,
Long Ming led Qin Ying to the outer perimeter of the base's city center.
He stopped and looked ahead.
Towering mountains surrounded an inner wall.
At intervals along the inner wall, a close-range defense turret, the Gray Raven, and a Kager turret were erected.
At the same time, Long Ming also saw that the heads of the magnetic storm towers on the mountain peaks were flashing with chilling arcs of electricity, clearly indicating that these defensive weapons were in working order.
"Red Ghost, what do we do next?"
Qin Ying looked at Long Ming anxiously.
"Find a place to hide and wait for dark."
Long Ming raised his bracelet to check the time; it was only a little past four in the afternoon, and there was still a long time until one o'clock in the morning.
"Okay."
Qin Ying nodded obediently.
Long Ming then looked around. The buildings here were densely packed and quite tall, all good hiding places.
However, he did not choose these buildings, but instead focused on a sewer in the street.
He led Qin Ying over, lifted the manhole cover, looked down, and then said to Qin Ying,
"Get down."
"Ah, okay."
Qin Ying obediently climbed down.
Long Ming jumped straight down.
Because the city had been destroyed for quite some time, the sewers didn't smell very good, but thankfully they were dry, so it wasn't too uncomfortable.
Long Ming casually found a spot against the wall to sit down.
Qin Ying looked at Long Ming, her face showing a hesitant expression.
"What is it? Just say it,"
Long Ming replied coldly.
"Everyone's dead, only the two of us are left. Should we keep fighting?"
"At this point, are you willing to give up?"
"No."
"Then let's fight to the bitter end."
"Alright, let's fight them!"
Qin Ying immediately raised her grenade launcher, replying with unwavering determination.
Long Ming looked at the multi-shot grenade launcher in Qin Ying's hand, his lips twitching slightly. He then took out compressed biscuits and bottled water from his backpack and handed them to her.
"Here."
"No need, I have my own."
Qin Ying quickly waved her hand in reply.
"Okay."
Long Ming started eating to replenish his strength.
Qin Ying also walked over and sat down next to Long Ming, taking out a military-grade canned food from her backpack and opening it.
Long Ming glanced at it sideways, quickly finished eating, and then closed his eyes to conserve his energy.
Time passed quickly.
It soon got dark, and the gunfire outside became more and more frequent.
Then came a series of footsteps, and a team ran over their heads.
Qin Ying nervously looked up.
Long Ming didn't open his eyes, but just spoke in a low voice.
"Don't be nervous, they won't find us."
"Okay."
Qin Ying's expression relaxed a lot after hearing this.
It was late at night.
Atop the towering signal tower, a short player with a mustache struggled to the top.
He picked up his binoculars and focused on the northeastern area, speaking in a low voice through his livestream,
"Look! The players from the Stars Guild have already gathered outside the western inner wall. There's still half an hour until 1 AM. At that time, a large number of the observatory's weapons and equipment will be paralyzed."
"Holy crap, as expected of a big guild, they've completely blocked off an entire route up!"
"Tch, they're just relying on their numbers."
Countless comments flooded the livestream channel.
At this moment, Pilates rubbed his hands together and said...
"Dear tycoons, please send some gifts. I'll risk my life to infiltrate the observatory and provide live coverage of the battle. Your support is my greatest motivation!"
"Go for it, streamer!"
A flood of gifts appeared on the screen.
Outside the west wall,
Qianwei calmly gazed into the distance with his hands behind his back.
At that moment, a burly man with a rugged face, dark skin, and a cigarette dangling from his lips spoke to Qianwei.
"Young master, there's a problem. Miss Qian Luobing hasn't joined us. It seems she's planning to go it alone."
"No problem, we don't need her! We can still defeat the other two guilds."
Qianwei confidently replied to Captain Gao Feng.
"Alright."
Gao Feng didn't say anything more.
"Young Master, it's almost time. The light from the Magnetic Storm Tower has completely dimmed,"
a man in a gray combat suit, with a scorpion tattoo on his neck, deep-set eyes, a hooked nose, and a cold expression, reminded him.
"Have all the lone survivors behind been cleared out?"
Qianwei asked excitedly after hearing Jiang Yu's words.
"Cleared out. Even if one or two escaped, they pose no threat to us,"
Jiang Yu replied hoarsely.
"Let's go!"
Qianwei immediately led the team out.
They quickly crossed the gap in the inner wall and headed towards the west staircase.
At the same time, Farina, Padok, and Qian Luobing also led their teams across the inner wall, running towards different staircases from the east, west, north, and south.
(End of Chapter)-+ Chapter 82 The Fury of the Solo Players (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Jueying Xuantian) (Eighth Update)
At this moment, the small guild players and solo players who had been hiding like mice were also getting restless.
Although they couldn't defeat the three major guilds head-on, it didn't mean they would give up on going to the observatory.
They all sneaked out and approached the four elevators, preparing to take down the three major guilds from behind after they went up!
Inside the sewers. Long Ming glanced
at his bracelet. It was already one o'clock, and the observatory's defensive weapons should be disabled. He stood up and said to Qin Ying. [
I hope readers remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network, ttk. ... Long Ming pushed open the manhole cover, peeked out, and after confirming it was safe, led Qin Ying out. He then ran towards a damaged area of the inner wall. As they approached, they saw a close-range defense turret, the Gray Raven, erected beside the damaged wall. If this defensive weapon were activated, they would both be riddled with bullets. However, this route had been purchased by Bai Xiu at great expense, so it should be fine. Therefore, Long Ming didn't hesitate and led Qin Ying directly across the damaged area. But then, instead of running towards the elevator, he ran towards the nearby lift platform. Qin Ying looked at Long Ming with a puzzled expression and asked... "Did we go the wrong way?" "No, don't take the elevator, that's a meat grinder." "Ah, then where do we go up?" "The elevator." "But the elevator is broken, it won't start." "Just follow me." Long Ming didn't explain further. "Okay." Seeing Long Ming say that, Qin Ying didn't say anything more. A moment later. Long Ming led Qin Ying to a large elevator platform. They saw a thin player dart onto the elevator platform, leap and grab the metal cable, excitedly talking to himself. "I'm a genius! Who would have thought to climb up the elevator cable? Only a climbing expert like me could do that." Long Ming was also somewhat surprised, not expecting someone to have the same idea as him. He immediately drew his venomous fang and fired at the player. "Ah!" The player didn't even have time to react before falling down. Long Ming led Qin Ying onto the elevator platform. At this moment, the dead player turned into specks of light, dropping a backpack. Long Ming went over to check it and found that the person was extremely poor, carrying only an automatic pistol and a bunch of tools. However, he still picked up a nylon rope from the backpack. "What do we do next?" Qin Ying looked at Long Ming somewhat helplessly. "Climb up," Long Ming said, looking at the towering cable. "Ah, I can't climb up!" Qin Ying was dumbfounded upon hearing Long Ming's words. Bang bang~ At this moment, dense gunfire and explosions came from the direction of the four vertical ladders, clearly indicating that the solo players and the three major guilds were fighting. Long Ming immediately squatted down and said to Qin Ying, "I'll carry you!" "Is that okay?" Qin Ying asked in disbelief. Although she was quite light, she still weighed eighty pounds. "No problem," Long Ming assured her in a deep voice. His basic attributes had all grown, although they were not as exaggerated as when he mutated, they were far beyond those of a normal person. "Okay." Qin Ying then jumped onto Long Ming's back. Long Ming carried Qin Ying on his back and tied her to himself with a nylon rope. After doing this, he walked to the edge of the elevator platform, grabbed the metal cable, and began to climb. Time ticked by. The battle on the four elevators intensified, and explosions could be seen rising continuously. Qin Ying's heart was in her throat, and her body trembled slightly. Long Ming felt Qin Ying's trembling and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, it's so dark, they won't find us." "No, I'm afraid of heights," Qin Ying replied weakly. By this time, they had already climbed to a height of one hundred meters. Long Ming said somewhat speechlessly, "Close your eyes, we'll be there soon!" "Okay," Qin Ying quickly closed her eyes. Long Ming remained calm and led Qin Ying up the stairs. At the entrance to the south staircase of the observatory, a large group of casual players and players from small guilds clashed together, all pointing their weapons at each other. At this moment, a man with extremely short hair, a angular face, a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek, and sharp eyes stepped forward and spoke.
"Gentlemen, we're all just solo players or small forces, why make things difficult for each other? The three major guilds control the stairs right now. If we keep fighting amongst ourselves here, we have absolutely no chance of winning." "
What do you mean?"
Everyone looked at Anken.
"What I mean is, let's unite, take down the three major guilds first, and then decide the winner among ourselves! Otherwise, we won't even be able to get up these stairs."
Anken said seriously to everyone.
"I think he makes sense."
"That's right!"
Everyone agreed.
"Alright, then let's form a temporary alliance and attack together!"
Anken raised his gun, leading everyone up the stairs, ready to stab the Sinful Abyss Guild in the backside.
The stairs leading to the observatory were perfectly straight.
During the day, one could basically see up from below.
However, since it was late at night, the field of vision wasn't as far.
But they could still roughly see that the members of the Sin Abyss Guild had climbed halfway up.
They immediately quickened their pace and climbed higher.
Suddenly, a dense hail of bullets came from above.
"Ah!"
Before the solo players could react, they were instantly shot dead.
Anken was startled and looked up, only to see the Sin Abyss Guild players climbing up the stairs.
"Not good, we're down!"
Anken and the others immediately retaliated.
At this moment, Bied gripped his heavy machine gun and unleashed a frenzied barrage of fire.
"A bunch of ants, trying to compete with us? Do you think we're unprepared? Today I'll show you what despair is! Go all out!"
One of his subordinates pulled out a grenade and threw it down.
Boom!
One after another, the solo players were instantly killed.
Although Anken and his group fought back fiercely, the two sides were simply not on the same level.
Not only were they caught off guard and lost the initiative,
but their firepower was also completely outmatched. Bide and his men didn't care how expensive the bullets were, spraying bullets relentlessly.
However, solo players had limited ammunition, even though the market price was constantly dropping. A single bullet still cost 2500 one-dimensional coins, meaning they couldn't fire many.
Therefore, the two sides exchanged fire for a while.
Seventy percent of the lone warriors were wiped out, and many more turned and fled in fear.
Seeing his side about to be crushed, Anken's face hardened, and he spat on the ground.
"Damn it, I'll make sure you all suffer!"
With that, Anken pulled a flare launcher from his backpack and fired it into the dark sky
. Whoosh!
A dazzling beam of light shot into the air, instantly illuminating the southern ladder.
Padok, who was climbing the ladder, was instantly enraged.
"Who fired that flare?!"
The members of the Sinful Abyss Guild all looked terrified.
