105: Mountaintop Rabbit Receives Mission

Upon hearing Cheng Xiao's resolute tone, Pan Han and Qin Laoda knew the story that followed would not be simple.

Cheng Xiao took a deep breath and slowly began, "Later, the competition for Intermediate Potions became increasingly fierce.

A Niu also became more and more ruthless and exerted himself.

Finally, he and another person became the final candidates."

"Hmph, he would stop at nothing for that spot!" Pan Han said coldly.

"The Adult is right.

By the end, it wasn't just about who was more ruthless anymore," Cheng Xiao nodded in agreement.

"The world isn't just about fighting and killing; there's also human relations and social etiquette, right?" Qin Laoda joked.

Unexpectedly, when Cheng Xiao heard "human relations and social etiquette," her expression immediately turned grim.

Qin Laoda was driving and didn't notice, but Pan Han saw everything.

"Old Qin, what nonsense are you spouting!" Pan Han slapped him hard on the back.

"Adult, it's fine.

I'll continue," Although Cheng Xiao didn't like hearing it, she didn't want to see Qin Zhong get hit.

"A Niu's competitor was not simple.

He was one of the first members of Z Tower, and he secretly gave many gifts to the Third Leader, who was in charge of distributing the potions."

"After A Niu heard the rumors, he also spent a night bringing many supplies to give as gifts.

Who knew that damn Third Leader specifically asked for me!" Cheng Xiao's words came out very quickly at this point.

She wanted to confess her past to Pan Han, but she also didn't want the memories to overwhelm her, so she used that tone to avoid them.

"That trash, he wouldn't have agreed, would he! Damn him!" Pan Han was furious.

"Yes, he agreed.

That night, I was coaxed and tricked into the Third Leader's room."

"That bastard! I'm going to tear him apart!" Qin Laoda was so angry when he heard this that he kept honking the horn!

The other cars, not understanding what was happening, also started honking their horns.

Beep beep beep! Beep beep beep! A chorus of honking echoed through the sky!

Cheng Xiao's eyes welled up with tears, and she bit her lips tightly, unable to help but lower her head and secretly wipe away her tears.

One was a foot masseuse, the other a Sniper God of the apocalypse.

What did they experience in between?

Who cared, who knew?

Betrayed by a loved one, ravaged by a madman, trampled by the apocalypse!

The atmosphere inside the car was extremely oppressive.

Pan Han dared not imagine what happened that night, how Cheng Xiao got through it, and how A Niu treated her afterward!

A few minutes later, Cheng Xiao composed herself and spoke again, "However, that potion was still given to the opponent."

"Ah??"

"The Third Leader only gave him a squad leader position and the right to use some special equipment."

"And he endured it?" Pan Han sneered, already having arranged dozens of ways for A Niu to die in his mind.

"Yes.

Because there was no better choice."

"How did you leave him later?"

"Later, he was depressed for a while.

Perhaps it was because he felt he had wronged me, or perhaps because he didn't get the potion.

During that time, we were essentially broken up.

We didn't even speak when we saw each other."

"And then, I lived a dark life in Z Tower like other women.

But I was always unwilling.

While honing my abilities, I also pondered how to escape.

I planned for over a year and finally found an opportunity to run away."

"Huh? You ran away, and they didn't chase after you?" Pan Han was a bit surprised.

"I was just an ordinary woman.

Even if I stayed there, I would eventually be played to death or eaten.

Whether I ran or not, they didn't really care.

As long as their organization remained strong, they weren't afraid of not having new people come in."

Pan Han and Qin Laoda let out a long sigh after hearing this.

Although such scenarios are almost daily occurrences in the apocalypse, hearing it from a close comrade they spent every day with made the impact undeniably different.

"Oh, right, how did you know that A Niu buried these landmines?" Pan Han suddenly remembered.

"He likes to leave a five-pointed star mark on the back of his landmines.

I've seen it many times, so I naturally recognize it."

"No wonder.

That bastard has quite a few bad habits."

"Adult, if it really is A Niu this time, then we're in trouble.

It means Z Tower has already infiltrated us," Cheng Xiao pulled her thoughts back, immediately reverting to her cold-blooded sniper persona.

"That's possible, let's go back and check the surveillance first."

"We're almost at the base, everyone get ready to get off," Qin Laoda reminded Pan Han and Cheng Xiao.

Along the way, listening to Cheng Xiao's story, they had unknowingly traveled dozens of kilometers.

After getting out of the car, everyone went straight to Old Wu's monitoring room without wasting any words; Old Wu had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Old Wu, just show it," Pan Han pushed open the door and immediately told him to pull up the surveillance.

"Adult, Qin Laoda, look!

It's here."

Old Wu had already brought up the footage, frozen at around 1 AM today.

"What is it, I can't see clearly!"

"I'll play it," Old Wu adjusted the timeline, rewinding 5 seconds.

The screen was now in night vision mode, with the main road in the center and wasteland and weeds around it.

Occasionally, some wild animals could be seen strolling across the screen, captured clearly.

Once such a moving creature was detected, the monitor would vibrate and alarm, and record it.

"Watch closely, it's coming soon," Old Wu reminded everyone.

Pan Han and the others widened their eyes, only to see a faint human silhouette flash across the screen, but no body parts were visible.

It was as if a person was wearing an invisibility cloak.

"Holy crap, it really is invisible!

No wonder the machine didn't alarm.

It didn't recognize it!" Qin Laoda couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, Laoda, that's the reason," Old Wu echoed.

Cheng Xiao, on the other hand, said nothing, her eyes fixed on the silhouette, as if trying hard to discern if it was A Niu.

"Look, this figure buried something in three different places, then walked away," Old Wu continued to adjust the screen, reporting to everyone.

"Cheng Xiao, can you tell if he's A Niu?"

"I can't tell, the figure is too blurry."

"It's okay, let's go to the conference room for a meeting," Pan Han called everyone to the conference room.

"Everyone, today's situation is quite critical.

We've been targeted again.

Let's hear your thoughts."

"I'll go first.

If it really is A Niu, then it's basically related to Z Tower.

They have an Intermediate Evolver, which will be very troublesome," Cheng Xiao spoke first.

Pan Han, as usual, handed out cigarettes to everyone and took out a few bottles of drinks for the ladies.

"How powerful is an Intermediate Evolver, exactly?" Pan Han asked.

"They are very powerful.

An Intermediate Evolver and us, who are merely basic evolvers, can be said to be two different species," Qin Laoda said with a serious expression, stroking his chin.

"Specifically?"

"How to describe it? Anyway, all of us basic evolvers in this room combined couldn't kill him.

It would even be difficult to injure him.

They have high attack, thick health, and move quickly.

They are really difficult to deal with," Qin Zhong shivered, feeling colder the more he spoke.

"So, there's good news and bad news," Pan Han was about to show off his dialectical skills again.

"Please speak, Adult."

"The good news is, we've basically confirmed who planted the mines.

The bad news is, we might have to face the city's largest organization and an Intermediate Evolver."

"Yes, Adult's summary is very accurate," Qin Zhong agreed.

"No matter how strong an Intermediate Evolver is, they should have weaknesses, right?

They can't be unkillable, can they?" Pan Han was about to press further.

"Definitely.

I feel that if we use 20mm or larger autocannons for concentrated fire, we should be able to kill him.

12.7mm heavy machine guns probably won't do it," Cheng Xiao, who had seen an Intermediate Evolver in Z Tower, gave her assessment.

"But he moves too fast and is hard to aim at, right?"

"Exactly."

"Then we can only use missiles," Pan Han mused inwardly.

"Missiles are too rare.

At most, we'd have man-portable anti-air or anti-tank missiles.

Anti-air missiles are fast enough, but their power might not be sufficient.

Anti-tank missiles have enough power, but they are too slow," Qin Laoda explained.

"Indeed, it's difficult.

We don't even have 20mm autocannons, do we?"

"No, last time we only bought 12.7mm automatic weapon stations.

These can at most restrict the Intermediate Evolver's movements," Cheng Xiao answered for Qin Laoda.

"Okay, I understand!" Pan Han said calmly, leaning his hands on the table.

"Qin Laoda, call Mountain Top Rabbit in.

I have a task for it."
