138: Chapter 138 As long as the person lives, the tower stands!

At the Ecological Observation Tower.

Wang Suming and Song Jiaojiao stared blankly as Chu Hong skillfully and quickly set up two sniper nests on the tower.

One pointed toward Monkey Village.

The other was aimed in the direction of Huaxi Wharf on the opposite bank.

"Bro... Brother Hong... Although Longming Sacred Academy's grading includes in-game kills as a requirement, but... with our strength, we don't need to go this far, right?"

Wang Suming wore a troubled expression. At this moment, he even looked through the sniper rifle scope in front of Chu Hong.

He clearly saw the two teams fighting fiercely at Huaxi Wharf.

Not just Huaxi Wharf.

Even Transport Line Station and Parino Valley Base could be roughly seen.

Chu Hong did not speak, simply watching through the scope as people fought tooth and nail for the resource points, trading blows back and forth, until the victorious side started packing collected items into their backpacks.

The smile at the corner of his mouth stretched almost to his ears.

"Brilliant, heh heh heh, simply brilliant... Interesting, heh heh heh, absolutely incomparably interesting~"

The sinister chuckle caused Song Jiaojiao, standing to the side, to involuntarily rub her arms, which had broken out in goosebumps, and draw a sharp breath.

"If you do this, you're bound to get reported..."

Chu Hong curled his lips in disdain: "Which assessment rule did I violate?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Song Jiaojiao, who was still preparing to offer a few words of persuasion, was left speechless.

Chu Hong ignored these two hesitant fellows full of concerns. Being completely on his own, the moment he pulled out the red-quality heavy sniper rifle, he had already regarded the Ecological Observation Tower beneath his feet—which overlooked the eastern and western banks of the entire map—as his most solid position in his heart.

"Whether it's those shameless capitalists of Palino Bio-Group who wave the banner of saving all humanity while wantonly destroying nature, or that group of stinky monkeys who dare to vainly attempt to enslave humans..."

"I, Xiaochuan Sun, will use my faith and the bullets in my hands today to fiercely tell them."

"As long as I am here, the tower stands!!!"

"Hahahaha!"

Wang Suming and Song Jiaojiao: "..."

How could this guy inexplicably get so fired up?

However, seeing that Chu Hong's "mind was already made up," the two of them found it hard to say anything more. They took the two maps drawn in advance by Chu Hong, covering the area from the Ecological Observation Tower to Vine Plank Road.

And climbed down from the tower.

"Brother Hong, then be careful yourself. Give us a signal if anything happens, and we'll rush over right away..."

Responding to Wang Suming was a bullet fired by Chu Hong directly hitting Huaxi Wharf.

"Bang!!!"

"Running? Your teammates are fighting bloody battles on the front lines, how dare you run?! Get back there and fight! Hahahaha"

Huaxi Wharf.

Liang Dalong stepped on a pair of purple-quality tech-side roller skates. The immense speed allowed him to narrowly escape from a hail of bullets, but his teammates weren't nearly as lucky.

One killed, two seriously injured.

Another was already trapped deep in heavy encirclement.

"I can't die! I have loot on me, this big gold item can give me a lot of points. I'll compensate you in the next match, I'll compensate you..."

With a panicked expression, the azure driving light on his roller skates burst forth.

Carrying him in a flash, he was about to retreat toward the road outside the wharf.

Evacuate out of the wharf, and then immediately head toward the evacuation point...

That was what he thought, however.

Suddenly, amidst a sharp whistling sound breaking the air, a bullet fiercely shot down right beside his feet in front of him.

With a "bang," the exploding stone chips and dust startled him so much that he staggered, pitching over directly on the spot. Under the influence of momentum, he crashed heavily onto a cargo container.

Liang Dalong's face turned pale. His tense nerves made him immediately seek out the hidden gunman in the dark at top speed.

Suddenly.

Spanning all the way across the entire river channel, a gleaming point of light standing tall atop the mountains on the opposite bank instantly caused a layer of cold sweat to break out on his forehead.

What, what kind of thing was reflecting light?!

"Bang!"

Yet another bullet accurately struck a patch of ground right beside his feet.

Making him finally confirm the identity of that white light at this moment.

"Sniper! That guy is actually sniping from such a far distance, this..."

He hurriedly dodged out of Chu Hong's shooting range.

However.

Right now, the other team in Huaxi Wharf that had already dealt with his teammates was aggressively chasing them down in a group at this very moment.

"There was a sound nearby just now. That kid didn't even dare to fight back, he must have looted something good!"

"Search! Don't let him run away!"

...

"Tsk tsk tsk, bullying the few with many in broad daylight... I, Old Sun, hate nothing more than you fellows running amok amidst this magnificent rivers and mountains..."

Chu Hong muttered mockingly as his scope locked onto someone who had just emerged from the wharf.

Holding a staff, looking like a magic-side information-role Pioneer.

Suddenly he pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh!"

The gold-quality 7 bullets, carrying source energy drawn from Chu Hong's body, roared with a slight downward momentum, tearing through the air and sweeping across the sky above the great river.

With a bang.

It fiercely and accurately hit the Pioneer between the eyebrows.

One shot, one soul! Sent back to the examination room!

Watching the team instantly plunge into tension and anxiety, Chu Hong waved his hand, and two flying bird drones appeared beside him.

Two golden apples were materialized by him and installed on the claws of the flying bird drones.

"Go on, little fellows~"

"Let everyone on the entire map know that Uncle Sun is waiting for them here~"

Amidst the huffing wing-flapping sounds, the flying bird drones, carrying the slight humming noise of the motor drive, quickly flew toward Huaxi Wharf.

Meanwhile.

Wang Suming and Song Jiaojiao had also begun their search along the way.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Sounds of sniper rifle shots faintly and intermittently passed through the towering trees overhead, reaching their ears.

Wang Suming raised the hunting lock gun in his hand.

Suddenly aiming at a stealthily exposed monkey figure in the tree canopy overhead, he instantly pulled the trigger.

"Squeak!"

A short, miserable scream rang out as a brown mutated monkey was violently yanked down from the tree by a huge force, and then crashed heavily onto the spikes on Wang Suming's great shield.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Killed on the spot!

Wang Suming listened to the gunfire coming from the direction of the Ecological Observation Tower, which was going bang bang, and sighed softly.

"I don't know how Brother Hong found out this intelligence. He actually knows clearly what position the monsters are hiding in, which tree they're on, and at what height..."

Climbing up the large tree, Wang Suming was surprised to find that there really was an area resembling a canopy platform marked on Chu Hong's map.

The area wasn't large, roughly four or five square meters.

Right now, there were several searchable containers on it.

Wang Suming reached out.

"A small gold item~"

Wang Suming happily put the item into the profiteering goblins cargo box on his back. Afterward, two consecutive faint explosions seemed to come from far away.

Startled him so much that his hand trembled involuntarily.

Accompanying the two explosions was the wild, arrogant shouting and roaring of his dear captain.

"Hahahaha! Everyone look at me!"

"I have two..."
