27: Boy, three contaminated cores will do

At the woman's soft exclamation, Xu Jingzhe had no choice but to stop and hold his breath.

He was very flustered, staring at the woman and pressing himself against the wall.

He sighed in his heart that this woman was even more effective than an electronic eye; her five senses were unusually sharp.

Suddenly, the woman spread her arms, closed her eyes, and frowned slightly.

She was listening!

Besides being able to see in all directions, a sniper can also hear in all directions.

Inside the passage, all sounds were amplified.

One time, two times, three times!

Breathing, heartbeats.

“Swish!” The woman opened her eyes, a cold light flashing.

The Barrett was already in her hand, aimed in Xu Jingzhe's direction, and she said coldly, “Come out, I know you’re here!”

Immediately, Xu Jingzhe felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He was discovered… even like this.

Heaven wants to destroy him!

The green light curtain flickered a few times, the simulated scene disappeared, and Xu Jingzhe appeared before the woman with his hands raised.

“It’s you?!” The woman was surprised.

9527!

He just arrived in the Pollution Zone about twenty days ago, and he has already unlocked two terrifying abilities?

Sniping and simulating the surrounding scene?

Unheard of!!

This is absolutely a born hunter.

The two abilities complement each other.

This person cannot be killed; he must be kept by her side and properly cultivated.

The woman's thoughts turned, and she put away the Barrett and asked, “How did you get in?”

Her voice was very pleasant, like a cool summer breeze, refreshing one's heart.

Xu Jingzhe did not speak.

He admitted defeat; what was there to say?

He would be a good man again in sixteen years!

However, his mind was frantically conversing with the system.

“Hey, are you… alright? The simulated scene just disappeared!”

System: “Ding, I told you to eat more acorns, but you couldn't eat them all. There's no energy in your body for me to use, so whose fault is it~”

“Then what do we do now? Can you analyze the current situation and tell me how likely we are to survive?”

System: “Ding, I’m about to crash. Whether you live or not is up to you.”

“Hey! Are you kidding me? If I die, you’re out of a game too, aren’t you?”

“Hey!”

“You dog system, why do you disappear every time we encounter danger?”

“Hey, hey!”

“……”

Xu Jingzhe was on the verge of tears. Damn it, what kind of situation is this!

Sure enough, technology is unreliable.

No matter how good the technology, there are times when it goes wrong.

The woman's delicate brows furrowed, and she said, “Follow me.”

Xu Jingzhe obediently followed behind the woman, watching her waist sway, and his right hand involuntarily reached for the backpack behind him.

The bottle containing the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid must be very hard; could he perhaps give this woman a good whack with it?

“Be honest, don’t have any crooked thoughts.” The woman's voice sounded at the right moment.

Xu Jingzhe's right hand trembled and silently dropped.

Did she have eyes in the back of her head?

“Shit!” He cursed inwardly.

The woman did not lead Xu Jingzhe further inside, but instead walked to the exit on the second floor.

“Beep, Han Shuangjiang, verification passed, access granted.”

The electronic eye scanned the woman's pupils, and the door slowly opened.

“Bang!”

Xu Jingzhe, who was following behind Han Shuangjiang, felt a burning pain on his face, his body uncontrollably stumbled, and he was already behind the woman.

Han Shuangjiang, on the other hand, had tensed muscles, a murderous aura spreading, and her Barrett was aimed at a man.

The man leaned against the wall, arms crossed, one foot resting on the wall, looking like a loafer. He even waved at Xu Jingzhe, greeting him, “You little rascal, you’re pretty good, you actually got ahead of me.”

“How was it? Did you have a ‘big battle’ with Miss Han?”

“Boom!” Han Shuangjiang pulled the trigger.

The Barrett's bullet whistled out, and then… there was no then.

The bullet was steadily caught by the man and crushed into scrap metal.

Xu Jingzhe's eyes widened like brass bells; Zhang Manyue was right, this person was a Contaminant.

But whether it was thirty or forty years was hard to say.

This man was precisely the one who exchanged three pollution cores for roasted rat meat that day. He didn't expect to meet him here.

“Miss Han, don't be so temperamental. Firing a gun at the slightest disagreement isn't good, not good at all.”

“Oh, by the way, my name is Sheng Shi. Nice to meet you for the first time.”

With that, he even extended his hand, stepping forward proactively, wanting to shake Han Shuangjiang's hand.

The muzzle of the gun pressed against the man's chest.

“Dare to take another step, and I'll blow your body apart!” A hint of something obscure flashed in the depths of Han Shuangjiang's eyes.

She had heard Sheng Shi's name more than once.

He was a very troublesome fellow!

Was 9527 his person?

Sheng Shi could deal with her in one second; their strengths were not on the same level.

“Han Shuangjiang, twenty-one years old this year, from the Han Family in the High Molecular Compound Zone, wants to become the top sniper on Blue Star. She also has two older brothers above her…” Sheng Shi's lips curled into a playful smile as he clearly laid out Han Shuangjiang's background.

Han Shuangjiang's face grew colder and colder. If looks could kill, Sheng Shi would have died ten thousand times over.

“Tell me, what do you want to do? Save this kid behind you?” Han Shuangjiang asked.

“Mm.”

“No! He's someone I've taken a liking to.” Han Shuangjiang's index finger trembled slightly, her mind struggling over whether to pull the trigger.

“Miss Han, you might still not understand the situation. Do you think you can pull the trigger faster, or can I end you faster?!”

“I'm only discussing this with you out of respect for the Han Family; I don't want to be hunted down.”

“I hope you… don't be ungrateful!”

Sheng Shi's voice was not loud, but it was very oppressive, and fine beads of sweat seeped from Han Shuangjiang's nose.

“Fifth floor, they're there!” Han Shuangjiang sneered.

“Since I'm here, I'm naturally not afraid. At worst, we'll settle all scores, old and new, together!”

“A broken Level 1 mech can threaten me? This mech doesn't even deserve to have a name!” Sheng Shi said with a look of disdain.

The two faced off, with Han Shuangjiang clearly at a disadvantage.

She sighed deeply and put away the Barrett.

Sheng Shi looked at Xu Jingzhe and said, “Kid, I saved your life. Three pollution cores will do.”

Han Shuangjiang's small canine teeth ground together, her prominent chest becoming even more prominent due to anger, that bastard!

She was tricked!

These two were not in cahoots.

Xu Jingzhe, with a mix of surprise and unreality, pulled out three pollution cores from his crotch and handed them to Sheng Shi.

Sheng Shi looked disgusted, pinching his nose as he took them.

Who puts pollution cores in their crotch?! How disgusting, and there's a smell of urine too.

“Pfft!” Seeing Sheng Shi's discomfited expression, Han Shuangjiang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It had to be said, Han Shuangjiang smiling was much more charming than her cold-faced self.

She felt refreshed.

Indeed, there's always someone who can handle someone else.

Han Shuangjiang stepped forward and patted Xu Jingzhe's shoulder, saying, “Your potential is great. The Pollution Zone is not where you should be. If you want to go to the High Molecular Compound Zone, come find me in Musileke City.”

“The Han Family's door is open for you.”

“Thank you.” Xu Jingzhe said to Sheng Shi.

Sheng Shi waved his hand, signaling Xu Jingzhe to leave quickly.

Here, a shocking battle was about to erupt!
