Chapter 109

After all, Sarkaz can't use guns, but that doesn't mean they can't use other ranged weapons.

Ranged weapons are far more efficient at assassination than melee combat.

Lemuen put away her AWM, glanced at Han Fei, and asked, "So, what's next?"

"Let's launch a full-scale attack."

Han Fei walked to the end of the platform and looked down. "This place is difficult to get up here. If they want to get up, it will take them a long time to climb. So, I'm taking Texas and Xiao Le to launch a strong attack to create an opportunity for you."

As for Ines, I'll bring her up and tie her hands and feet. If she moves, you can open fire without hesitation.

Lemuen may be a sniper, but she's also a prisoner.

As the saying goes, the closer she got to prison, the fewer zeros remained after the M700 in her hand.

While this statement may be somewhat exaggerated, it is enough to illustrate that Lao Tai's melee combat ability is not weak, but rather very strong, strong enough to leave a deep impression on players.

Could an unarmed Ines defeat a fully armed Lemuen?

You're dreaming.

Upon hearing this, Lemuen chuckled and teased, "Hmm? What about your possessiveness then?"

Han Fei remained expressionless, responding to Lemuen's amused gaze, and said, "I feel it's not as strong as it is against you."

There's nothing wrong with admitting this. He's not Nan Tong; it's not strange for him to like female operators.

Ines is indeed very beautiful, with a slim waist, long legs, and a great figure. I want to have her.

--Are there really male PhD students who don't want female operators?

But Han Fei could distinguish between what was important and what was urgent.

Putting aside the fact that the girls in her own team are no less Ines, let's just say that human patience has its limits.

Ines has already shown signs of non-cooperation, and if that trend continues, he really needs to nip it in the bud.

It's not just for myself, it's for the team too.

It doesn't make sense to keep putting the team in danger just for the sake of Ines.

Han Fei's bluntness startled Lemuen for a moment, then the curve of her eyebrows softened further, and she said softly:

"That's unexpected. I thought you wouldn't say something like that."

"To be honest, I really don't know how."

Han Fei scratched his head and admitted, "If she hadn't brought it up, I really wouldn't have said anything about possessiveness or other such nonsense."

"Should I thank her?"

Lemuen's smile deepened. "Thank her for making you see the light, you blockhead."

Han Fei asked uncertainly, "Wood? It shouldn't be that bad, right?"

"Hmph."

Lemuen hummed twice, sounding quite pleased. Han Fei's expression amused her, but she didn't dwell on it. She softly reminded him, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Go and get ready. I'll cover you later."

Han Fei replied, "Okay, wait for me to come back."

Go ahead.

Lemuen watched Han Fei leave, and when they were all alone, with only the faint sound of the wind, she murmured to herself:

"Possessiveness, huh? That sounds really nice. But I don't think he's possessive just because of me. I just wonder who's more important, her or me?"

As Lemuen spoke, the image of Texas came to mind.

As for Ines, Lemuen never considered her a rival.

This is not a dismissive attitude, but a judgment based on reality and understanding of Han Fei.

Ines certainly has a great figure, but that's all she has, isn't it? If she were truly obsessed, she wouldn't be allowed to fire freely based on the situation.

As for what happened before, Lemuen observed it very clearly.

She noticed Han Fei's reluctance when saving people, but she also noticed Han Fei decisiveness after his patience ran out.

In Lemuen's opinion, it was just a momentary soft-heartedness on the boy's part. After all, Ines was indeed very beautiful, but he didn't dwell on it, which was good enough.

If she isn't even given the freedom to fire and kill him, then there's a real problem.

As for his previous soft-heartedness, Lemuen could forgive him; that's the magnanimity of an older sister.

However, this incident did make Lemuen a little wary.

--We might really need to train him a bit; we can't let him keep being blinded by other women.

Just as Lemuen was pondering whether she should go back and properly formulate some specialized training plans, Han Fei returned carrying Ines.

"I've brought the person back."

As he spoke, Han Fei placed Ines on the ground as if he were setting down a sack of grain.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Lemuen temporarily set aside those chaotic thoughts and looked back.

Ines' hands were bound behind her back, and her feet were tied with a thick, long rope. However, she was quite well-behaved and did not struggle for the time being, but just silently watched Han Fei and Lemuen.

"Miss Ines, please refrain from any rash actions."

Lemuen smiled at Ines, "I'm not like him. I have no possessiveness towards you. If you make any move to cut the ropes, I'll hit you on the forehead, just like last time."

Hearing this, Han Fei rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Is this never going to end?"

"Hmph."

Lemuen hummed twice, looking quite pleased, enjoying Han Fei's somewhat exasperated yet helpless expression.

Ines remained silent, observing Lemuen's shadow in quiet contemplation.

This is her Originium Arts, which allows her to "see" her master's inner thoughts and emotions through shadows.

It was precisely because of this that Ines could sense Lemuen's authenticity. She didn't reveal any murderous intent, but her words were so genuine.

If she dares to move, the long gun will immediately shoot her.

Lemuen didn't mind Ines's silence. After discussing the plan with Han Fei, she gently watched Han Fei descend the mountain.

Just as Han Fei disappeared and Lemuen was lying on the ground, preparing to take aim, Ines finally spoke:

"You like him very much."

Upon hearing this, Lemuen paused, then calmly replied, "Yes, if I didn't like him, why would I have left Laterano and followed him to Kazdel?"

"Too."

Ines remained unfazed and continued, "So, aren't you going to stop him? He's so blatantly displaying his desire for me, repeatedly declaring that I'm his spoils."

"What did he do to you?"

Lemuen then turned around and said calmly, "First of all, you are indeed his spoils of war, or more precisely, you are our spoils of war."

"Secondly, he didn't do anything to you, did he? Of course, from my perspective, you're not a suitable trophy to hold long-term; getting rid of you as soon as possible is the best course of action."

"Finally, I will help him correct these minor flaws, but until they are corrected, I will be tolerant of him."

"After all, who told me I'm the older sister?"

Having said that, Lemuen withdrew her gaze, refocused on the sniper scope, and said softly, "If that's all you wanted to say, then you don't need to say anything more. This kind of low-level provocation won't work on me."

"What a loyal sniper."

Ines gave a compliment, then remained silent for a moment before saying, "So, what will my fate be?"

"I don't know, don't ask me."

Without turning her head, Lemuen said, "When he comes back, you'll know what your fate will be."

In her view, Han Fei was about to make contact with Hedley's squad.

At the same time.

Han Fei, carrying the M250, sped along the road out of the valley.

Last time, Hedley's mercenaries occupied the high ground on both sides of the road.

This time, Han Fei abandoned the valley road and jumped up the high slope on the west side as soon as he left the valley, avoiding the disadvantage of being attacked from below.

Soon, the two sides collided head-on on the high slope.

Hedley wasn't on the slope Han Fei had chosen, but on the opposite side. However, he had already noticed Han Fei and was gathering his men to move towards Han Fei's side.

Han Fei, not one to tolerate such behavior, immediately activated Gale ultimate skill, Gale, and said:

"Texas, I'll charge with you, Xiao Le, cover us!"

"No problem, boss."

Lemuen simultaneously produced her guns— Victor and K416—in both hands.

She held two guns and fired immediately, the muzzles spitting out dense tongues of fire.

"Walk."

At Han Fei's command, he raised the M250 and began to pull the trigger.

The fourth-stage projectiles were launched at an angle, forming a thin line of fire.

Han Fei fired as he walked, his manner somewhat reminiscent of someone in a movie.

Under the cover of the three guns, Texas, wielding two swords, swiftly charged into the crowd.

With each swing of the twin swords, heads were severed one after another.

"Torrential Sword Rain."

The dense sword shadows sliced through the Sarkaz mercenaries' bodies; it's no exaggeration to say it was like cutting melons and vegetables.

But Han Fei's expression remained unchanged.

Sarkaz mercenaries of this caliber are merely cannon fodder; they can be quickly wiped out.

Who's the good guy who's relentlessly attacking top-secret information, and is just satisfied with eliminating a few AIs?

The one who truly deserves our attention is Hedley, who comes later.

This is the real show, the actual enemy operators.

Hedley moved quickly, reaching the foot of the mountain and, under the cover of Sarkaz snipers, approaching the summit.

Han Fei originally intended to use a high-ground attack to teach Hedley a lesson about how the tables can turn.

But he soon realized that it was a bit difficult.

The reason is simple: Hedley had too many Sarkaz mercenaries with him.

Individually, those snipers aren't that powerful, but when they're combined, they pose a considerable threat.

Han Fei had just found a shooting angle, but before he could even fire, he was immediately hit by several arrows, his health dropping rapidly, forcing him to retreat immediately.

But falling to the ground at this moment is still not a good option.

The Sarkaz mercenaries are about to regroup; there's no need to risk falling here.

Even if they can save themselves, they'll still be missing some firepower.

Lemuen noticed Han Fei's actions and quickly asked, "Boss, do you need me to subdue those guys down there?"

While healing himself, Han Fei said, "No need for now, let's cover Texas first."

At this moment, he missed the Red Wolf Shield Dog terribly; the Veyron Shield Dog wasn't so bad either.

This Gale doesn't seem to be very effective!

Well, rather than saying that Gale is ineffective, it's more accurate to say that Shield Dog is too effective.

That mechanism, in a place like Terra, has almost no natural enemies except for warlocks.

On the contrary, Gale's self-rescue method seems to be ineffective under such high-pressure circumstances.

Just like Han Fei now, he wouldn't dare risk collapsing to try and survive.

Just as Han Fei was pondering, Hedley climbed the slope and came into Han Fei's sight.

His greatsword was already gripped in his hand as he said, "What do you think of this...?"
