Are You Looking for Me? (Third Update)

On the small hill, only two minutes had passed from the gunpowder explosion to the kobolds surrounding the crowd.

Seeing the seven tense figures in the middle, all the Warlock Kobold wore a malicious glint in their eyes and continued to approach.

Twenty steps, fifteen steps. The distance kept shrinking, and the seven people back to back could even see the cold glint of the Kobold Warrior's spear tip, the Warlock Kobold's staff, and the finger resting on the casting button.

"We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, we'll be at a disadvantage. If we don't go up and fight these beasts today, we're doomed either way!"

Zhang Ren's hand holding the Steel Blade trembled. Even though he uttered the slogan of not being afraid of death, his pale face showed that he was only putting on a brave face.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the others around him did not fall silent as expected. Instead, they shouted one after another, their fighting spirit rising. "Fight! Why wouldn't we fight? I've had enough of living here already. If it weren't for the fear that my mother would be teleported here and I, her unfilial son, wouldn't be there to serve her, I would have killed these beasts the first time I saw them."

"Well said! We humans will never submit to such beasts who act so arrogantly every day!"

"I'm so tired of this stupid life. Being a traitor, Human Traitor, is something no human being should do!"

"It's good to die in the refuge of Su Mo. Even if I die, the Shelter Core will not fall into the hands of others. It can be considered as returning to my roots on our Chinese soil!"

"It's a pity we won't live to see the day when we build guns and cannons and crush these beasts!"

"A head lost leaves only a scar the size of a bowl; eighteen years later, you'll be a hero again!"

No one expected that the people around them would still have any backbone after all this time! Three men can become a tiger, and now, as they talked and talked, they lost their fear of death, and the ferocity of higher animals within them surged out violently! As the encirclement of the kobolds tightened again, until they were within ten steps, Chao Gai in the center shouted, and everyone grabbed their Steel Blade and stepped forward to charge.

At first glance, the kobolds were taken aback by the fact that the humans in the center would resist.

That's when the seven seized the opportunity. With a sweeping motion, they swung their knives, slashing three sorcerers who didn't have time to cast spells at the shoulder, who fell to the ground instantly.

The others were not intimidated. They used all their strength to slash horizontally, and four warriors wielding spears were beheaded! The difference in numbers between the two sides instantly became 11 to 7!

The narrowing gap instantly gave the seven people hope, and a chaotic battle ensued!

The kobolds' fireballs flew wildly, and the men's Steel Blade showed no mercy.

Once they got close, the Kobold Warlock's fireballs weren't as terrifying as they'd imagined. As long as they watched the casting animation carefully, they could easily predict and dodge them! With the idea of fighting to the Death Land, the seven of them fought by trading their lives for each other. The remaining eleven kobolds simply couldn't withstand the ferocious and irritable humans.

Without the ranged advantage of the Warlock Kobold, it was like an adult beating a child; only five lives were lost while all eighteen Kobolds were wiped out!

Looking at the treasure chest on the ground, Chao Gai and Zhang Ren, who had survived, were panting heavily. The aftereffects of their overexertion were surging up, and both of them were somewhat exhausted.

"Chao Ge, we survived! We don't have to die! Hahaha!"

Overjoyed at surviving the ordeal, Zhang Ren looked at the snow around him, which was now completely stained red with blood, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Chao Gai, kneeling beside him, was also overjoyed, but just as he was about to turn his head to speak, a crisp sound rang out! In his line of sight, a bloodstain and a small chrysanthemum-shaped hole suddenly appeared on Zhang Ren's forehead, who was still laughing heartily.

The violent impact almost instantly caused Zhang Ren to fall to the ground in the snow.

Seeing the lingering smile on Zhang Ren's face and the convulsions caused by the intense pain of death, Chao Gai was terrified. He scrambled to his feet, shouting, "Su Mo, we are good people! We have come to seek refuge with you! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'll serve you like a slave!"

"We are Chinese, we are compatriots, don't kill me! I'm very capable, I'll work for you 24 hours a day! I don't want to die! Don't kill me!"

At this moment, Chao Gai was no longer the elder brother he once was; he resembled a dying man making his last struggle.

Because of the exhaustion and the tense body that followed, Chao Gai hadn't even taken two steps before collapsing to the ground again, closing his eyes in pain.

There was no shooting as expected; instead, a burst of applause suddenly rang out behind him.

Clap clap clap clap clap Hearing the applause behind him, Chao Gai, still crawling on the ground, turned around and was immediately stunned. "Maeda Kento? Why is it you?"

In his view, Maeda Kento's old face blossomed like a chrysanthemum, and he walked up clapping his hands.

The tall man next to Maeda Kento was still holding the pistol that had just killed Zhang Ren.

"Why can't it be me, Chao Gai?" Chao Gai Kento patted the shoulder of the tall man next to him, then looked at the large hole where the smoke had not yet cleared, Maeda Kento laughed unrestrainedly and extremely arrogantly.

That kind of laughter was chilling, and paired with that smug expression, it was the epitome of a "petty person who has achieved their goal"! "Do you know why I sent you to spy on Marshall?"

"Guess again how these kobolds found your trail?" Maeda Kento's applause continued unabated.

The slapping sounds seemed to hit Chao Gai's chest, making him feel suffocated.

"Old dog, so you were already prepared all along. You want it all? Can your appetite even handle it?" In an instant, Chao Gai understood all of Maeda Kento's plans and laughed miserably.

"Hahahaha, you Chinese are so stupid, including your so-called ' Su God '. In this post-apocalyptic wasteland, everyone is an enemy except yourself. It's a pity that he has treasures but doesn't understand such a simple truth."

"Come on, guess what shape he's been crushed into by the collapsed shelter since he hasn't come out for so long?"

Following the direction Maeda Kento pointed, Chao Gai turned his head to look.

Sure enough, a huge crater that had been dug was blasted open and collapsed downwards.

Although the smoke obscured the extent of the collapse, Chao Gai immediately imagined the subsequent events based on Maeda Kento's words.

"Don't expect anyone to save you, Chao Gai- jun. Don't be so naive in your next life!"

After saying that, Maeda Kento gave a wink, and the tall man next to him understood immediately and fired a shot at Chao Gai on the ground.

Bright red blood seeped from Chao Gai's head. With resentment, Chao Gai fell to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open!

The next second, without prior arrangement, both Maeda Kento and the tall man instantly took three steps back, creating distance between them.

The tall man nervously pointed his pistol at Maeda Kento, but Maeda Kento didn't react at all. Although he had taken out the pistol, he was pointing it at the ground.

"San Tu, what are you trying to do? Wouldn't it be better if we split this 'treasure' between us, share the riches and glory, and rule the new world?" Maeda Kento chuckled sinisterly, his eyes gleaming with a hint of mockery as he looked at the tall man.

He lived up to his reputation as a scoundrel, and when he saw the tall man's wariness, he even spread his arms to indicate that he meant no harm.

This made the still wary San Tu suspicious, as if he had believed Maeda Kento's nonsense.

However, after a moment's thought, a hint of malice appeared in San Tu's eyes. He placed his finger on the trigger and pulled it sharply against Maeda Kento's forehead.

Unfortunately, there was a crisp sound when the trigger was pulled.

But the sharp sound didn't come from the gun in his hand, but from Maeda Kento's hand!

A bullet hurtled across San Tu's chest and struck his heart instantly.

In Maeda Kento's view, San Tu knelt on the ground unwillingly, his hand still frantically pulling on the trigger, but all he got in return was the clanging and banging of the firing pins.

"I bet you're wondering why the pistol you checked so thoroughly before leaving the castle is malfunctioning now."

"What a pity, what a pity, San Tu Jun, do you know? In this era, if you fall behind, if you fall behind in information, you will only be eliminated!"

Maeda Kento's tone was indescribably bleak, but as soon as you could see his face, that bleakness would immediately turn into arrogance!

Seeing the pained look on San Tu's face, Maeda Kento continued rambling:

"In these end times, trust no one, not even family or brothers. There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."

"Too bad, you don't understand yet!"

After speaking, Maeda Kento's face turned cruel. He picked up his pistol and fired another shot at San Tu's head.

This shot shattered his skull, scattering blood everywhere.

Looking around at the snow-covered hillside piled high with corpses, Maeda Kento nodded in satisfaction and turned to walk towards the blasted crater.

By this time, the smoke of battle had begun to dissipate after the delay.

"My beloved Su Mo, where are you?"

"Hurry up and let me take your extraordinary encounter, so that I, Maeda Kento, can live on in your place~"

With light, butterfly-like steps, Maeda Kento is like a black butterfly fluttering among the flowers.

He nimbly leaped to the front of the pit, eager to examine the blasted opening so he could quickly crawl inside and reap the treasure.

However, the scene inside the pit was not what he had imagined; the rock was cracked and collapsed everywhere.

Although the stone wall was blasted open by the mud, the opening was only half a meter in diameter.

Furthermore, through the outer layer, one can clearly see that the inner layer remains exceptionally sturdy, showing no sign of falling apart or collapsing.

"This"

Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow slid past and pierced his hand deeply, penetrating three inches into his flesh.

A sharp pain shot through his hand, his grip snapped, and the pistol that Maeda Kento was holding tightly fell to the ground.

At the same time, a voice echoed softly beside him:

"Excuse me, are you looking for me?"
