69: Take down the right wall (right, not stone)

Fang Yun looked at the Nightwalkers whose morale had collapsed and just wanted to run, and shook his head.

"Sigh, how boring."

"Although for Nightwalkers, running away is normal in this situation, what I want to appreciate is the counterattack of a cornered beast, not burying their heads and fleeing like ostriches."

"Since you've turned your backs on me and sought your own deaths, I'll grant your wish."

After speaking, Fang Yun said no more. Holding "remnant echo", he fired several shots in succession, killing all the fleeing Nightwalkers.

The Night Wanderer, who was about to reach the corner at the end of the path, felt extremely unwilling inside, but could only fall to the ground with a "thump".

The Night Wanderer lay on the ground, blood gradually flowing from his corpse, soaking his clothes.

Fang Yun walked over and found that his right hand had extended a finger, pointing forward.

"'As long as I can reach that place'?"

"Damn it, the Group Leader is still chasing me."

After making the joke, Fang Yun reloaded the magazine for "remnant echo" and continued towards the remaining unexplored areas of the cave.

...

Time: October 18, 2075, 6:30 PM. Location: Aureole Valley, outside the right cave.

Valentine, Vavinia, Toke, Glenn, and others stood guard in front of the scaffolding entrance.

The Buckle Family and the Black Hand settlement were engaged in a very low-intensity, "civilian organization" level firefight.

In this level of gunfight, the role of cover can be said to be quite significant.

Therefore, most of the Black Hand settlement members were concentrated on the walls on the left and right sides of the valley, as well as within the signal tower line in the center of the valley floor.

With the Second and Third Offensive Squads holding the line, Valentine and the others barely had to worry about being attacked from front and back.

They just needed to keep a close eye on the cave on the right wall, mainly to prevent any Nightwalkers from suddenly popping out and firing a sneak shot... although this possibility was small.

Just as Valentine and the others were keeping watch, suddenly, a huge sound came from inside the cave.

"Boom! ---"

The huge sound immediately attracted the attention of the First Assault Squad members.

Glenn, with a solemn expression, called out to Fang Yun on the squad channel:

"Hey? Fang Yun. I heard a huge sound coming from inside the cave. What happened over there? Are you still alive?"

Glenn's voice was a little hurried.

People who hadn't personally witnessed Fang Yun activating "Sandiwestan" still had an insufficient understanding of his strength.

After Glenn finished asking, all the squad members held their breath, pricking up their ears to listen carefully to the sound in the squad channel.

What responded to them in the channel was silent stillness.

Two seconds, which in normal times might just be a brief moment that passes unnoticed, felt as long as two minutes to everyone there now.

Finally, after two seconds of silence, Fang Yun's voice came through the squad channel.

"Captain Glenn, I'm fine."

"The Black Hand settlement members wrapped military bombs in anti-detection fabric and buried them in the cave as a trap."

"And I just successfully destroyed this trap."

"The sound of the bomb exploding worried you."

"I wasn't injured. Don't worry."

Saying this, Fang Yun paused slightly, then said in a relaxed tone:

"You should be more worried about the Nightwalkers now."

"After all, I'm about to wipe them all out in a bit."

"Although it's unlikely any Nightwalkers will escape, if there really are any stragglers, I'll trouble you to deal with them for me."

After Fang Yun's full-bodied voice came through, the hearts that Glenn and the others had gradually raised finally settled back into their chests.

Hearing that Fang Yun could still joke in a relaxed tone, Glenn's heart immediately completely relaxed.

Glenn exhaled and replied to him in the same relaxed tone as Fang Yun:

"It's good that nothing happened."

"As for those 'stragglers', just leave them to us, we guarantee not a single one will be left."

Valentine and the others also replied one after another:

Valentine (happy and excited): "Haha, Fang Yun, you really are fine! I could hear the explosion just now clearly from outside the cave. To be able to get out of such a big explosion unscathed, you're truly amazing. (I gotta give you a thumbs up.jpg)"

Toke: "Remember to keep communications open. If you need any help, just say so, don't be polite."

Vavinia: "It's really great that you're okay. (Happy cat.jpg) If there's trouble you can't handle, retreat first. Then, we'll use landmines to blow all that trouble sky high for you. (Fist clench.jpg)"

First Combat Squad members A/B/C/...: "[emoji: thumbs up]"

After a few seconds, Fang Yun replied to the squad members one by one.

"[emoji: smiling face]" x n

"Don't worry, if I really can't win, I'll run away. (Dog head.jpg)" (To Vavinia)

〖This is a lie.〗

〖For a block person, no danger can be considered truly "dangerous", so there is no such thing as "really can't win".〗

After reconfirming the communication frequency with Glenn, Fang Yun stopped talking.

Valentine and the others, knowing that Fang Yun was fine, also resumed their guard duties.

...

Temporarily ending the communication, Fang Yun began to slaughter the remaining Nightwalkers.

Shortly after, at the end of a small path.

Fang Yun raised "remnant echo" and shot the trembling Nightwalker in front of him dead with a single shot.

Then, Fang Yun surveyed the corpses on the ground, stroked his chin, and muttered to himself:

"This should be the only remaining group of Nightwalkers in the right cave."

"I don't know what they were thinking, that they didn't run away. Were they really so scared they couldn't move?"

"Not a single Nightwalker escaped the cave, so Valentine and the others won't be getting a single 'head'."

Fang Yun lowered his hand, feeling a bit amused, and shook his head:

"Forget it, what's the point of thinking about all this nonsense?"

Putting "remnant echo" back into the holster on the outside of his thigh, Fang Yun followed the prompts of "Eagle Vision Wolf Gaze" and walked out along the "map of the right cave interior".

Fang Yun's footsteps gradually faded away, the "crime scene" slowly returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

Only the Nightwalkers lying on the ground, with expressions of pain, despair, and ferocity, silently recounted the slaughter that had taken place here.

In just a moment, Fang Yun emerged from one of the cave exits.

「Whether they buried themselves in construction sand piles, hid in remote corners or secret rooms, or played other little tricks.」

「In short, as long as they were Nightwalkers inside the cave, I have found and killed them all.」

「Next, it's time to consider supporting Karl's side.」

「Although the Black Hand settlement's arrangements and actions exceeded the scope of the information provided by the intermediary.」

「However, there are only so many Black Hand settlement members in total, and the basic situation of the stronghold hasn't changed, so the intermediary's information still has significant reference value.」

「The key to conquering the signal tower line lies in heavy machine guns and sniper rifles.」

「The Black Hand settlement's snipers have already been dealt with by me. This means that as long as the heavy machine guns on the middle level of the signal tower are also dealt with, the signal tower line can be taken, and victory can then be seized.」

「Simple.」

「I only need to make a slight move, and it will already be the Black Hand's limit.」
