Chapter 175

Sona was momentarily speechless; this method was a bit too random.

After a brief hesitation, Sona nodded slightly and agreed, saying, "Then let's throw it."

Instead of pondering what to do next, we should cut to the chase.

--Anyway, it's all just guessing.

So Han Fei said, "You know which way the numbers and patterns should go, I'll discard them."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the coin spun into the air.

The next second, he pressed the coin down with his other hand, slamming it into the back of his hand.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to them.

Han Fei didn't keep everyone in suspense; he simply flipped his hand, revealing the numbered side of the coin to everyone.

"Number."

Han Fei looked at Sona, "You should know where to go, right?"

Han Fei's purpose in flipping the coin wasn't to decide where to go—he wasn't familiar with the map, so how would he know where to go?

This was simply to give the hesitant Sona a chance to make up her mind.

"Um."

Sona had clearly made up her mind, and replied, "Come with me."

The group ran again, and about ten minutes later, a cluster of low-rise buildings appeared in the night.

As soon as they got close, Texas said, "There's a sound, clearly crying and screaming."

No sooner had he finished speaking than an arrow came flying almost silently.

"Careful!"

Sona thrust out her rapier with a swift motion, precisely intercepting the arrow.

Han Fei instinctively looked in the direction the arrow had come from; however, the night was as dark as ink, and even the buildings were indistinct, let alone any human figures.

"Damn it, I can't see where anyone is."

At this moment, Han Fei missed thermal imaging terribly.

That thing didn't work very well in the state—at least he really wasn't used to it.

But at that time, having thermal imaging meant they wouldn't have been completely out of luck.

However, since things have come to this, let's transform ourselves first!

Han Fei simply raised his hand, and a heavy blast protection device covered his suit, fully deploying a thick full-body shield to protect him behind him.

"I'll be a pioneer!"

As Han Fei spoke, he walked to the front of the group.

Texas and Han Fei had cooperated many times in the Shield Dog mode, so she was naturally very familiar with the process. Even before Han Fei raised his shield, she was already standing behind Han Fei.

Theresa and Chastina were a little slower; they waited until Han Fei unfolded his shield before shrinking Han Fei.

Wild Mane, on the other hand, clearly has no such intention.

There wasn't enough space behind Han Fei; if she went over, it would only expose everyone to danger.

"Let's move forward first; there must still be survivors in the settlement," Wild Mane said.

"OK."

Han Fei had no objections and walked forward with his shield in hand.

These assassins from the Armorless Union were clearly prepared.

The arrows were almost silent; behind Han Fei's shield, there was only a clanging sound.

It was because he had a habit of constantly shaking the shield; otherwise, the observation window would probably have shattered long ago.

Even so, the pressure is still quite high.

The infrastructure in this godforsaken place is terrible; hardly any streetlights are on, and it's pitch black all around, so Han Fei can't see anyone at all.

On the contrary, the assassins of the Armorless Union launched repeated sneak attacks under the cover of shadows.

Han Fei was completely unable to fight back.

The clanging and banging sounds increased, clearly indicating that more Armorless Union assassins had discovered Han Fei's team and joined the attack.

Texas, keenly sensing the unfavorable situation, immediately said, "Boss, let's stop for a moment."

"What's wrong."

Han Fei immediately stopped and began shaking his shield.

"I request to act alone."

As she spoke, Texas reached out and put her hand on Han Fei's shoulder, bent over and lifted her foot, and with a gentle hook of her small hand, she took off one of her red-soled stiletto heels.

Then came the other one.

Texas put away her high heels, quickly changed into flats, and said, "Wait for my good news."

"Can."

Han Fei agreed without turning his head, reminding him, "Be careful and don't be reckless."

Texas has medicine in her chest strap, so injuries aren't a big problem; the blood packs can heal. As long as she doesn't act recklessly, it's unlikely there will be any serious issues.

"Wait for my good news."

Texas took one last look at Han Fei's retreating figure, then bent down and swiftly slipped away from behind the shield, disappearing into the shadows.

After Texas left, Han Fei calmly said, "Let's move on."

To be honest, Han Fei is starting to miss Lemuen a little.

If Lemuen were here, she certainly wouldn't keep getting beaten up like this.

Well, it's hard to say, since Sister An doesn't seem to have any specialization in night vision.

However, the AWM still provides too much sense of security.

Unexpectedly, just as Han Fei was reminiscing about the AWM, Chastina behind him suddenly spoke up:

"Found you."

In an instant, Chastina's pupils contracted sharply.

Her slender fingers pulled the trigger, the heavy crossbow string made a teeth-grinding "clang--" sound, and the steel bolt, as thick as a thumb, tore through the air and roared out with terrifying kinetic energy.

Unlike the insidious sneak attacks of the Armorless Union, this crossbow bolt was incredibly powerful—its spinning tail even stirred up the surrounding airflow, drawing a spiral trajectory in the damp night sky.

"Pfft!"

After the dull thud of the arrow piercing flesh, a suppressed cry of pain came from afar.

Then came the loud crash of something heavy falling to the ground, like a bag of cement being dropped from the third floor.

Then, the entire alley fell silent again, even the silent arrows in the shadows seemed to have been paused.

"Well done!"

Han Fei didn't hold back his praise, his voice suddenly breaking the brief silence.

In response, Han Fei was met with even more urgent and numerous hidden attacks.

"These guys are really relentless."

Han Fei frowned. Unfortunately, he was still in shield mode, and in this mode, even if he forced himself to use the gun, he couldn't aim properly.

He had tried it before; firing the M250 with one hand could send it soaring into the sky, like a dragon raising its head.

However, at that moment, a dying wail suddenly came from afar.

Immediately afterwards, chaos ensued.

"It's that woman from downstairs!"

"So fast... Stop her!"

"Ah!"

Han Fei looked toward the noisy area and said, "It seems Texas is already in position."

"We might have to go help Miss Texas," Sona said. "The commotion she's making will definitely attract a lot of assassins."

"Shall we split up?" Chastina asked. "Some of us will go in and stop the assassins, preventing them from killing innocent people any further, while the rest will go and support Miss Texas."

"Feasible."

Han Fei nodded slightly. "She and I will go to Texas. You two knights will go protect the survivors."

"OK."

Sona agreed without hesitation, "Chastina, you'll come with me, and I'll be your shield."

"Good."

Chastina immediately agreed.

Be careful.

Han Fei offered a reminder and watched the two leave.

Soon, only Han Fei and Theresa remained on the field.

"Let's go too," Han Fei said.

"It's ready."

Theresa held the M7 in both hands, looking ready to set off at any moment.

Regardless of her marksmanship, at least her grip is quite proper.

"Walk."

Holding his shield, Han Fei slowly stepped into the alley.

Theresa followed closely behind. She looked at Han Fei's back, hesitated briefly, and then put her hand on his shoulder.

Han Fei turned around, holding his shield, and carefully moved forward, advancing little by little.

But perhaps the nearby Armorless Union Assassins were all drawn to Texas, Han Fei for several minutes without seeing any arrows coming from the shadows.

This emboldened Han Fei considerably, so he said to Theresa, "Let's just run over there. There seems to be no one around, and besides, we still have armor and healing potions."

"That's fine too."

Theresa nodded slightly and agreed.

She was, after all, the Demon Lord of Kazdel, and she had quite a bit of confidence in herself.

Even if it's inconvenient to go all out right now, it's just that I don't want to expose myself, not that I'm really unable to use my strength.

If she were truly forced to do something against her will, she wouldn't hesitate to go all out.

"Then let's go."

Han Fei strode towards the direction of the battle.

The area is full of narrow alleys lined with residential buildings on both sides, and Texas is clearly on the roof of one of those buildings.

Han Fei couldn't see Texas's exact location, but he could discern its general direction through the sounds of battle, which prevented his movements from being halted by being disoriented.

As they drew closer to Texas, Han Fei was about to call out when suddenly an arrow pierced the ground half a meter in front of him.

Han Fei subconsciously looked up and saw a slender figure standing on the rooftop in front of him.

The figure was slender, resembling a woman, dressed in white, with a very distinctive tail, and holding a bow in her hand.

At that time, the night was as dark as ink, and Han Fei could not see the person's appearance clearly, but judging from the shape, Han Fei vaguely felt that he looked a bit like Platinum.

Han Fei didn't bother guessing, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "You're going to stop us?"

The figure on the rooftop didn't speak, but silently raised the Longbow Valley in his hand, assuming a posture of drawing the bow and nocking an arrow.

Theresa's response was straightforward: she raised the M7 rifle, the crosshair in the scope already locked onto her head.

Han Fei looked at the person on the rooftop, raised an eyebrow, and asked, " From the Armorless Union? Which one?"
