Chapter 39

Can he react to bullets?

"What the hell is that?" Chen Xiaoxun held up his M-700 sniper rifle and used his high-powered scope to observe the "scenery" of the prison.

At the breach in the prison wall, two men fired a few shots into the air before jumping into the water.

Tap, tap, tap tap tap!

"Are they exchanging secret signals?" Jiang Chi's attention was also drawn to the sound. "Who is it?"

The distance was too far for Jiang Chi to see clearly; he only saw two black dots jump into the water.

"Player," Chen Xiaoxun said, his sniper rifle still pointed at one of the men's heads, "I don't recognize him, but he's wearing a level 5 helmet and armor, and carrying a katana?"

As soon as he uttered the words "samurai sword," Chen Xiaoxun slowly placed his index finger on the trigger.

"Just two people? What about the Bald Eagles?" Li Hao asked.

"I don't know. I'm afraid they'll betray us. Let's just fight them," Chen Xiaoxun said coldly. "We're not familiar with the other three teams. It doesn't matter which one we fight."

Team leader Jiang Chi frowned slightly, staring at the water. This was no longer the exploration team, not the same team. They had fought, and no one would condemn them. He was just curious about what had happened.

"There's really no need to take on extra risks, after all, those clubs aren't exactly known for their integrity..." Jiang Chi also raised Tenglong and aimed it at the water.

suddenly!

Da da da da da!

Several prison guards emerged from the breached entrance of the prison and, without saying a word, unleashed a barrage of fire on the two men in the water.

Blood gushed to the surface from the depths of the water.

The sudden turn of events startled Jiang Chi.

"What?" Jiang Chi's expression turned serious as he glared at the five prison guards through the hole.

"The Warden's Personal Guard!" Li Hao was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth. He was very familiar with those two shield bearers. He had come into close contact with them during the Explorers' mission, and he would never forget their attire.

"They are the warden's personal guard!"

"The warden's guard? What are they doing here? Aren't they supposed to be hanging around in the cells?" Chen Xiao, unsure who to point his gun at, asked, "Captain, what do we do?"

Jiang Chi's lips twitched as he looked at the bullets whistling past the cave entrance and the two figures swimming in the water. "Shoot those prison guards!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiaoxun's bullet whistled out, flying a hundred meters toward the target.

With a clang, the crisp sound of a bullet striking a riot shield echoed in the open outdoor space.

"Tsk!" Chen Xiaoxun clicked his tongue. He never expected that the shield soldier would block his sniper shot so quickly.

A hundred meters apart, he and the shield-bearer who was leading the group locked eyes.

"What?" Of the three, it was Li Hao who exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible? Can a sniper bullet be blocked by reaction alone?"

Cold sweat broke out on Li Hao's forehead as he recalled the scene and conversation when he was caught by the warden.

Since returning to the player world, he has never mentioned to anyone that he was caught by the warden or that there was any deal involved.

He had no idea that now, as the national celebrity who brought back the main battle tank model, what would happen if people knew that he had traded with a map boss in a dangerous area to obtain this red item?

How will he be viewed?

However, this matter has always been a source of inner demons for him. He knows clearly that this map BOSS is different; its intelligence far surpasses that of ordinary NPCs.

And now, his personal guards, having chased him here, were able to withstand sniper fire, which greatly shocked him.

Jiang Chi was the first to notice Li Hao's condition. He patted Li Hao on the shoulder and said, "We two will hold the guns. You go to the back and pull those two up. Ask them what happened."

Li Hao immediately did as instructed, lying down on the platform and reaching down to pull the person out.

Chen Xiaoxun remained in a sniper ready-to-fire stance, his scope aimed at the head of one of the warden's guards, his expression serious as he held his breath.

After arranging things for Li Hao, Jiang Chi returned to Chen Xiaoxun's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, comforting him:

"They probably won't come; they pose no threat to us. You don't need to..."

boom!

The M700's muzzle flashed, and the bullet pierced the air, its target the head of the prison guard next to Shi Ding.

But the shield-bearer didn't panic at all. He slightly tilted his shield, which covered his target and deflected the bullet.

The sudden gunshot startled Jiang Chi, who turned to look at Chen Xiaoxun's profile.

But his expression was even more intriguing—was it a mixture of shock and murderous intent, or perhaps shock mixed with murderous intent?

Even with the mask on, Jiang Chi could still see his mouth agape in surprise.

"That guy, he wasn't just guessing! He really can react to sniper bullets!" Chen Xiaoxun's voice was very low, but Jiang Chi could still hear the tremor in his voice.

"The first shot was probably blocked by chance. The second shot, I fired at the person next to him. If he had only been focused on protecting himself, there was absolutely no way he could have blocked it, but he managed to block the bullet with the slightest movement!"

Chen Xiaoxun put down his sniper rifle, turned around, and faced Jiang Chi. "What exactly is that?"

Jiang Chi looked at his incredulous eyes and trembling pupils, "In the recent operations, neither of our two clubs from the Dragon Kingdom has entered the core area to confront the warden head-on."

"We reaped the greatest benefits, but we knew far too little about them!"

"Perhaps the consecutive losses of the Bald Eagles and Samurai Swords clubs are not really their fault..."

"Captain, Captain!" Li Hao pulled the two players out of the water. "Captain! They said they're from the Hibiscus Club! The Bald Eagle Association and the Samurai Sword Club have six people in the core area..."

"completely annihilated!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue!

Level 5 armor is currently the strongest armor that their players can research under normal conditions!

Based on the production costs of their club, a single outfit would cost over 100 million!

How could such a six-person joint combat team be completely wiped out?

"Then why were they being hunted down? How did they escape?" Jiang Chi shouted.

"They said that a prisoner shot and killed one of their teammates, and then they hid until the fighting was over before daring to show their faces. They were discovered on the way out and were chased all the way here."

Jiang Chi's expression turned even more grim... A prisoner? A prisoner who shot and killed a player?

The prison guards were already formidable enough, but now they're being told that the prisoners are just as powerful?

They felt their worldview had been completely overturned.

Previously, in other maps, the only thing to watch out for was other players; NPCs were like dogs that you could just kick to death on the street.

Even map bosses can be easily dealt with once their behavior logic is understood.

How come even a shield bearer is so powerful here?

"Ten seconds left, prepare to evacuate!"

Jiang Chi turned back to look in the direction of the warden's personal guard and saw that the five prison guards were still standing there in formation, watching them leave.
