148: Kill two people in a row

Piles of rubble, overgrown weeds, and saplings as thick as a thumb standing half a person's height. Not to mention one person, even ten people hiding here at the same time wouldn't be discovered.

It had to be said that Lei Xi was still very cautious. Even knowing the four people he was playing with had no equipment and weren't strong, he still hid himself very well.

Xu Jingzhe blended into the surrounding environment, lurking on an ancient tree. His gaze was like a torch as he scanned below. As long as there was light, a werewolf's vision could see very far.

The moonlight was gentle, the ancient forest was silent, and occasionally a few insect chirps sounded, making it seem even quieter.

One minute.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

Thirty minutes later, Lei Xi pulled the trigger again, the dull gunshot tearing through the silence of the night.

Xu Jingzhe held his breath, like a patient old hunter, approaching bit by bit.

The closer you get to your prey, the more careful you should be, focusing on a kill in one strike.

His teammates were nearby, so Xu Jingzhe couldn't make too much noise, otherwise, they would all be in mortal danger.

The wind rose, and the grass swayed.

Xu Jingzhe stopped in his tracks, his heartbeat slow and steady, listening carefully to the sounds around him.

"Click." The sound of a metal lighter; Lei Xi lit a cigar. After several days of harassment, being alone made him a bit sleepy, and also... bored.

Cats catching mice—there's no way to keep playing with them forever.

These few days were enough, but since the captain, Gai, and Dajun hadn't returned, he had to keep playing for a while longer.

A wisp of thin white smoke rose, the ember flickering on and off.

It was caught by Xu Jingzhe.

He drew the dagger from behind his waist, walking without a sound.

It took him a full twenty minutes to cover this distance, circling behind Lei Xi.

He was still in no rush, like a viper in the darkness, waiting for the most suitable moment.

After finishing the cigar, Lei Xi perked up. His mechanical eyes blinked, and the complex instruments whirred, selecting an ancient tree that was dozens of meters high and thick enough for several people to embrace.

He pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew out.

He licked his snow-white teeth, smiling cruelly. He had absolutely no idea that behind him, a 'hunter' had been waiting for a long time, just waiting for the moment his spirit was most relaxed.

Xu Jingzhe exerted force suddenly, swinging his dagger.

Lei Xi didn't even have time to react; he only felt a chill at his neck, and the light in his field of vision gradually dimmed...

Fresh blood gushed out, staining the grass red.

Xu Jingzhe lay beside Lei Xi, expressionless, and began to strip the Second-level Alloy Battle Suit off his body. However, the Second-level Alloy Battle Suits in Adam City all had fingerprint, blood, and body temperature entry.

Only the owner could use it; as Lei Xi's body gradually turned cold, the Second-level Alloy Battle Suit was 'locked'.

"Damn it!" Xu Jingzhe cursed under his breath, so angry he punched the Second-level Alloy Battle Suit.

The suit couldn't be used for himself, and he couldn't get the compressed food, water, or medicine carried by the suit.

"Boss, can you unlock the suit's locking system?"

System: "Ding, how can I hack the system without a computer? Unless it's a system I've already hacked and have memory of, I don't need a connection terminal."

Xu Jingzhe felt slightly disappointed; without medicine, Li Zhi and the others couldn't recover any combat power.

However, the heavy sniper could be used; he would deal with the Wind Shadow Squad first.

This was a modified M24 sniper rifle. He removed the magazine; there were five rounds left.

That was enough.

He carried the heavy sniper on his back, his body as agile as an ape, climbing up a large tree.

Half-crouched, mounting the rifle, searching for people.

The set of movements was smooth as flowing water, clean and neat.

His blood began to heat up slightly; he hadn't touched a sniper rifle in a long time, and that feeling had returned.

On the battlefield, a top-tier sniper could completely change the course of the battle.

Bo Qing's teachings flashed through his mind one by one, the scope moving with the rifle body to search for the remaining enemies.

Lei Xi's teammates, Tony and Seer, were not far away, only three or four miles apart. The two were lying on a large rock, fast asleep, but they were wearing their Second-level Alloy Battle Suits while sleeping.

In the Pollution Zone, this was considered completely safe. Lei Xi's strength was equivalent to a twenty-two-year Contaminator, and he was a sniper skilled at hiding. Plus, with the Second-level Alloy Battle Suit, who could kill him without a sound?

Even the Adam Five couldn't do it.

Xu Jingzhe wasn't in a hurry and continued to search around them. He didn't see Gai, which made him uneasy.

Five minutes later, he confirmed Gai was not there.

Inhale, exhale.

Aim.

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out!

"Boom~"

Seer's head and the large rock he was lying on exploded, splashing Tony with brain matter and blood.

Tony jumped up in shock, hesitating not for a second to strike the ground violently. Rocks shattered, dust rose, and he hid himself.

"Lei Xi, Lei Xi." Tony's chest heaved, gasping for air, his face covered in cold sweat, his mind still a bit dazed.

Where was Lei Xi?

Inside the micro-earpiece, there was no sound from Lei Xi. His heart went cold; he knew Lei Xi was already dead.

Who was it!?

To be so strong as to silently take out the sniper Lei Xi.

Xu Jingzhe stood up, canceled the system's environmental simulation, held the heavy sniper, and walked on the thick tree branches like a grim reaper, mercilessly reaping lives.

"Now, you can run." Xu Jingzhe said loudly.

Tony was hiding behind a large tree, following the sound, quietly exposing half his head, and saw Xu Jingzhe.

His eyes were filled with disbelief—it was actually him!

How could it be?

"Captain, Captain, requesting support, over."

"Captain, Captain, Lei Xi is dead, Seer is dead, requesting support, over."

There was fear in Tony's voice; it was a cat playing with a mouse, but one mouse was strong and had bitten two cats to death.

Inside the micro-earpiece, there was still no response. As they gradually entered the depths of the Pollution Zone, the earpiece's reception range would gradually shorten. From the initial twenty miles, it became ten, and now it was around five miles.

"Boom!"

The ancient tree beside Tony exploded. Like a startled bird, he turned and ran.

He was very fast, moving in an S-shape, activating the auxiliary and defensive functions of his Second-level Alloy Battle Suit, moving through the dense forest, using tall trees and rocks to hide his figure.

Xu Jingzhe didn't chase after him. Whether he could beat Tony with his current strength was debatable, and if Gai returned during the chase, that would be throwing his life away.

However, he still had to fire the gun.

Let him taste what it's like to be hunted.

Mounting the gun, aiming, silently estimating Tony's escape route, and choosing the bullet's landing point in advance.

"Bang!"

The gun fired, the bullet missed by a meter, hitting the stone beside him.

Tony was startled, his speed increasing; he wished he could grow four legs to run.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two consecutive shots missed.

For someone with such high strength, it was very difficult to hit them while they were running at high speed.

There was only one bullet left in the gun, and Tony was about to run out of the heavy sniper's shooting range. Xu Jingzhe's heart was very calm, without any fluctuations; that was how a sniper was—whether you hit or missed, your heart could not be chaotic.

Estimating Tony's landing point, he fired in advance.

"Bang!"

This time, the high-speed bullet hit Tony's back, flipping him over.

With the protection of the Second-level Alloy Battle Suit, and the bullet's distance reaching its limit, it caused almost no damage to him.

Xu Jingzhe dismantled the M24, took the magazine, and threw the remaining parts all over the ground. He then came to Seer's side, dragged his foot, and found Lei Xi.

If the equipment couldn't be used, he would destroy it.
