His body slammed heavily onto the ground.
He rolled over.
Another sniper bullet struck the exact spot where he had just been lying.
He kicked the door shut, then went to drag the wardrobe by the wall over, blocking it behind the door.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bullets continually pierced through the wall, yet Su Xiao instead grew calm.
The enemy sniper had lost visual and was firing blindly.
As long as his luck wasn't atrocious to a certain degree, there was a high probability he wouldn't get hit.
He steadied his nerves, observed the indoor environment, and then locked his gaze beneath the desk where Charui usually worked.
He pushed the desk away, stamped on the floor a few times, and sure enough, he could hear that this section of flooring sounded different from the rest.
He lifted the carpet covering the floorboards, revealing the hatch underneath.
Only, a lock was still hanging on it.
McCoy hadn't told him that the tunnel entrance was locked.
There was no time to go look for a key.
Su Xiao used his blade to chop the lock straight through.
He opened the hatch and jumped down into the tunnel.
This camp had previously been a Biotech factory, and after being abandoned later on, it had become the camp of the Buckle Family.
During the period when Serita served as the family leader, she had specifically sent people to dig a tunnel leading outside, to prepare for emergencies.
When Su Xiao emerged from the tunnel, he was already outside the camp.
In the camp behind him, the gunfire was still continuing without stopping.
Yet compared to before, it had quieted down considerably.
He looked at the free and boundless wilderness, then glanced back at the camp.
He did not leave.
Instead, he sprinted toward the enemy sniper's location.
Beside him, a sentry turret was also set up to protect himself.
This type of automatic counter-attack sentry turret, true to its name, possessed the function of not requiring human operation and being able to attack enemies on its own.
The Mk.31 heavy machine gun produced by Militech that it carried was astonishingly powerful.
Its flaw was that it was overly bulky, to the extent that carrying it was quite impractical without undergoing special cyberware modifications.
Moreover, in combat status, reloading rely entirely on a single person was extremely difficult, so it could only provide a single burst of output.
Yet the original design intent of this heavy machine gun was fixed heavy firepower.
No one at Militech had ever considered that anyone would be able or willing to carry this massive gun around everywhere.
They were usually more useful deployed as fixed guard posts or mounted on vehicles.
Deploying a sentry turret beside a sniper was sufficient to withstand the assault of a squad.
If it were anyone else, they might have been helpless.
Yet McCoy had told Su Xiao the method for dealing with sentry turrets.
There was an infrared electronic eye on the sentry turret, which was its "eye".
Under normal operating conditions, the sentry turret would sway back and forth like the oscillating electric fans at food stalls.
And when the muzzle of the sentry turret was aimed in a certain direction, it could not "see" other directions.
Therefore, what Su Xiao needed to do was actually very simple.
He tiptoed close to the outside of the sentry turret's range.
When the sentry turret's muzzle turned to another direction, he immediately threw himself into a full-out sprint.
That prone sniper heard the commotion behind him.
His reaction was not slow.
He quickly turned around, raised his sniper rifle, and fired a shot straight at Su Xiao.
Bang!
The moment the sniper rifle aimed over, Su Xiao's figure flashed to the side.
A large-caliber sniper bullet shot past the place where he had just been standing.
Failing to hit with a single strike, the sniper did not freeze.
Instead, he dropped the sniper rifle, holding a tactical dagger in one hand and a tech pistol in the other.
Su Xiao stomped his foot onto the sniper's left hand that was gripping the tech pistol, swung his katana downward, and chopped off his right hand that tightly grasped the tactical dagger.
Amidst the other's screams, he removed his right foot, pulled the opponent up from the ground, and used him as a shield to block his back.
Right at that moment, the sentry turret's muzzle finally swung back.
Yet Su Xiao used the wailing sniper as a human shield to block in front of him, causing the sentry turret's electronic eye to identify a friendly unit, rendering it unable to fire.
Su Xiao picked up the tech pistol, aimed first at the sniper's head, and pulled the trigger.
After the gunshot rang out, the wailing stopped.
Then he threw the sniper's corpse toward the sentry turret.
As for himself, he lunged toward the base of the sentry turret almost simultaneously.
He plugged the decrypter into the slot.
One of the jobs of Nomads was dealing with corporate armed convoys.
Yet not every Nomad was a hacker.
Therefore, the decrypter came in very useful.
Corporate armored SUVs and sentry turrets could all be hacked.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the decrypter had to be plugged into the slot.
Instead of hacking remotely like hackers did.
Su Xiao glanced at the display screen on the decrypter, which showed that the hacking progress was proceeding methodically.
Now the sentry turret had been disabled, and once the hacking progress bar finished loading.
It could be reconfigured.
Having confirmed this, Su Xiao finally set his mind at ease and picked up the sniper rifle the sniper had previously discarded.
A line of data displayed.
Name: SPT32 Ice Storm Type: Kinetic Sniper Rifle Damage: 1705-2084 Attack Interval (Fire Rate): 0.28 rounds/second Durability: 70/100 Manufacturer: High-Tech Military Industry Remarks: Around the turn of the 21st century, the arms industry faced severe challenges. Many popular sniper rifles became less and less effective against targets equipped with massive cyberware. A bullet that could kill an ordinary person now only left a dent. A new generation of sniper rifles was poised to emerge. The Soviet-made SPT32 Ice Storm was precisely the first-generation product of this new wave, and many people considered it the most powerful sniper rifle on the market. Although it paid less attention to detail compared to similar products from Arasaka or Militech, well-trained master marksmen naturally did not need to rely on weapon assistance for windage calculation; in their hands, the Ice Storm could unleash terrifying power. No wall could stop it from hitting its target.
Having finished inspecting, Su Xiao set up the gun properly and aimed toward the camp.
Bang!
An enemy who was in the midst of the camp exchanging gunfire with Nomads had his head explode.
Bang!
An enemy hiding behind a tent had his chest burst open, and his body slumped limply.
Bang!
When the third enemy had his neck snapped by a sniper bullet shot from behind...
The enemies who had breached the camp finally realized something was amiss.
They hurriedly scrambled to find cover and hide.
"There's a sniper!"
"Positioned behind us!"
"Damn it, that's the direction of our people!"
"Our sniper must have already been taken out!"
An enemy placed his cap on the barrel of his gun, then slowly extended it out of cover.
He attempted to use this method to draw Su Xiao's attention.
Su Xiao satisfied him.
A sniper bullet penetrated the cover where he was hiding, piercing straight through his thigh.
Blood flowed like a river, and he wailed like a stuck pig.
In front of the powerful Ice Storm Sniper Rifle, the delusion of using wooden boxes or iron drums to withstand the bullets of a kinetic sniper rifle was undoubtedly wishful thinking.
"We can't keep going like this; staying here makes us no different from targets."
"Leave a few people to continue suppressing the camp, and split the rest into two groups to flank from the left and right and take out that sniper."
The sudden gunfire also caught the attention of those Nomads in the camp who were still fighting bitterly.
"Did McCoy and the others come back?"
"Doesn't really look like it."
"What are they doing? Are they retreating?"
"Never mind what they're doing, stop them."
The Nomads tried to prevent the enemy from leaving, but the firepower of those left behind forced them back behind cover once again.
"Damn it, their firepower is too fierce."
The Nomads, suppressed to the point of cowering behind cover, did not dare raise their heads. They could only thrust their guns out from behind cover and blindly fire in the general direction of the enemy.
"Trying to flank me?"
Seeing the enemies in the camp disregard everything else to leave the camp and split into two groups running swiftly from both sides, how could Su Xiao fail to see their intention?
Unfortunately, what they could think of, Su Xiao naturally could think of as well.
Firing would expose his position and consequently draw the enemy over-this was already within his expectations.
Therefore, upon seeing the enemies flanking toward his location, Su Xiao did not leave his spot or try to run away.
Instead, he first glanced at the Decrypter.
Finding that the decryption was already complete.
Su Xiao reconfigured the Sentry Turret.
Once the setup was finished, he continued using the Ice Storm Sniper Rifle to open fierce fire on the team of enemies coming from the left.
