The Rose Armed Forces Mercenaries staggered towards the direction from which the bullets came, all poisoned by the gas. Only Dorothy, with her martial arts physique, managed to withstand the attack and charged ahead.
Han Xiao remained calm and unhurried, switching to Spindle-Shaped Piercing Bullet and firing in bursts. The gunshots seemed to carry a steady rhythm as he took down the Rose Armed Forces mercenaries one by one. The bulletproof vests couldn't withstand the penetrating power of the Spindle-Shaped Piercing Bullet. With the enhancement of his various skills, each Sniping shot could theoretically deal more than 130 points of damage. These ordinary mercenaries were probably between level 5 and 8, with around 150 health points. One shot was enough to bring them to the brink of death. In addition, with the bleeding, burning, and poison gas, he didn't need to fire a second shot at all. His killing efficiency was extremely high.
He deliberately left Dorothy until last, eliminating Dorothy helpers first and keeping the strongest one to deal with alone.
After killing the last ordinary mercenary, Dorothy finally rushed to his side, raised her modified submachine gun, and began firing wildly at him.
Han Xiao ducked, and all the bullets hit the sand dune, kicking up clouds of sand.
Dorothy ran and fired rapidly, finally reaching Han Xiao when her magazine was empty. A cruel expression immediately appeared on her face.
A Sniping who gets close to a martial artist is doomed to die!
Dorothy couldn't wait to smash Han Xiao's head, just as she had done to others dozens of times before.
"Tiger-Hunting Axe!"
Dorothy swung her elbow horizontally like a giant axe, whistling through the air, aiming straight for Han Xiao's head. She was confident that this elbow would splatter Han Xiao's brains out.
The fierce elbow strike missed its mark, and Han Xiao suddenly slid back three meters like an eel.
"Sliding Shot!"
Han Xiao drew two Wild Eagle from his waistband like a phantom, and with the added boost of Overload and rapid-fire mode, he blasted seven or eight Spindle-Shaped Piercing Bullet into Dorothy's body in an instant.
Dorothy cried out in pain, but her eyes revealed a triumphant arrogance. She suddenly pulled out a shotgun from behind her back and blasted out a burst of bullets, which rained down on Han Xiao.
"Shotguns are most lethal at this distance; whoever you are, you're dead!"
Dorothy's thought flashed through her mind, but the next moment, she was shocked by what she saw.
Fish-scale-like armor instantly covered Han Xiao's upper body. Shotguns struck the armor, scattering sparks. His current technology was capable of creating Magnetically Controlled Armor that covered half the body, covering an even larger area.
You're kidding me, I have A!
The next moment, Han Xiao emptied all the bullets in the magazine into Dorothy's body. Only martial artists at Pan Kuang's level could barely withstand bullets with their bare hands, but Dorothy was far from that level. Unable to withstand the power of the large-caliber bullets, she collapsed, spitting blood. Her bloodshot eyes stared intently at Han Xiao, her lips trembling as if she wanted to say something.
Bang! Han Xiao shattered the black woman's head with a single shot.
It's common knowledge that Sniping are weak in close combat; Pan Kuang once thought so too, and then he died.
[You have killed Dorothy (lv25), and you have gained 7500 experience.]
In the early stages, Sniping have long-range suppression capabilities, making it very convenient to kill monsters. However, only large guilds will train them because Sniping are too expensive. Even the worst Sniping rifle costs tens of thousands of dollars, and every Sniping bullet is very expensive. Every shot costs money. Moreover, ordinary Sniping do not have Han Xiao's Magnetically Controlled Extendable Armor, and they will be easily beaten up if someone gets close.
Han Xiao examined Dorothy's body and found that the firearm Dorothy used showed signs of modification. Judging from the method, the Rose Armed Forces must have had a fairly skilled mechanic.
Kill all these enemies and you'll gain over 10,000 experience points. The flames from the poison gas bombs will burn for a long time, and soon they'll attract more enemies.
He retrieved the EMP jammer, got back into his car, and drove off.
Not long after they left, a group of Gordon mercenaries arrived at the scene and were immediately taken aback by what they saw.
"These are the people from the Rose Armed Forces."
"Who ambushed them?"
Just as the Gordon mercenaries were about to get out of their vehicle to investigate, Luo Qing, who had arrived with an armed squad to provide support, also arrived at the scene. He immediately saw his comrades lying dead on the ground and the Gordon mercenaries standing there.
"Fire!"
The two sides have a long-standing feud, and enemies meeting are bound to be extremely hostile. Explanation is out of the question; let's fight first and talk later.
Without hesitation, Luo Qing ordered an attack. The Gordon mercenaries immediately retaliated, and a fierce firefight broke out, with gunfire and explosions echoing through the night sky.
Soon, the forces of several other factions were also drawn to the scene. Seeing the fierce battle between the Rose Armed Forces and Gordon, they wanted to take advantage of the chaos and immediately joined in, turning the scene into a melee.
After a while, several armed groups that were farther away also arrived at the scene. Before they even understood what was going on, they saw that everyone was fighting and thought, "What's the difference between not joining in and being a lazy bum?" So they all joined in and happily became troublemakers in the group battle.
The fighting raged for most of the night, with each gang suffering losses. They called a retreat and went home to lick their wounds. The last few forces to arrive even forgot why they had started fighting in the first place; they simply fled after the battle.
The Rose Armed Forces brought back twenty bodies, most of which had only one fatal wound from a Sniping bullet.
"It seems that it wasn't Gordon who ambushed Dorothy and the others, but a Sniping," Ghost Fox said.
Luo Qing's face was gloomy as she pondered who might have attacked them. The Rose Armed Forces ' enemies were all in the Somar Desert, and any battle should have been Head-On Conflict. This kind of sneak attack by one person reminded her of the scene more than two years ago when the Chaisrod Family had just issued a bounty on them, and many assassins came alone to deal with the Rose Armed Forces.
"Another assassin who accepted a bounty?" Luo Qing frowned. The Rose Armed Forces hadn't been harassed by assassins for over a year.
More than a year later, have some naive young people forgotten the lessons of the past?
Dorothy's death was gruesome; she appeared to have been shot at close range, suggesting that the Sniping likely possessed some close-combat skills.
A petite woman approached, wearing an oil-stained coat, and said softly, "I found the tracks the assassin left behind. He went southeast. There are three factions in that direction, the closest being the Farian Group's stronghold."
"Thank you for your hard work, Su Li."
Su Li is a mechanic in the Rose Armed Forces, responsible for the maintenance and modification of firearms, vehicles, and defensive facilities.
"I found fragments of the landmine at the scene. This was a premeditated trap. The landmine's casing was made of materials from the Farian Group, and the assassin's hideout is likely Farrian stronghold. I tried to reconstruct the landmine's structure; it seems to be a new type of explosive never seen before, and the explosion mechanism should be related to gas."
Luo Qing narrowed her eyes. This assassin seemed difficult to deal with, but she wasn't worried. She dialed an encrypted number to contact the person who had funded her.
"Mr. Saisitian, assassins are hunting us. We've lost a squad of twenty."
An aged, hoarse voice came through the phone, "I'll send someone over to handle it."
Whenever an assassin appears, the backers of the Rose Armed Forces send "professionals" to deal with him. This is why the Rose Armed Forces have caused countless assassins to perish in Somar.
A professional at dealing with assassins, or an assassin.
