Demon’s Cage

Chapter 8 The Night

“Left and right cartwheels don’t have much consumption. The front and back flipping consumed 5 points of health each, and the one-handed flipping consumed 10 points each time!”

Qin Ran said to himself and looked at the two skills in the skill bar.

With no exception, all the consumptions noted on it were health based, yet none of them had an exact value noted.

“If there is no exact value, the magnitude of my actions must result in different consumptions!”

He came up with this conclusion based on previous battles and the actions he just performed.

Subsequently, Qin Ran looked at the various information recorded in the system.

There wasn’t any information about the value of physical consumptions.

However, the physical consumption did exist.

“Is there any hidden information? Or what?” Qin Ran frowned and guessed.

He had experienced with similar games before that they could have hidden information.

The hidden information would either be useless or have some important meaning.

In such an underground game, Qin Ran believed it would be the latter.

n, he could not find any of the clues to discovering hidden information.

As a result, Qin Ran didn’t spend any time thinking about it.

“Qin, can you teach me a martial art?”

Colleen suddenly asked.

“No problem!”

He didn’t have any reasons to reject her so he replied: “There are a lot of martial art skills, but I’m only familiar with using the dagger.”

Qin Ran really did know about martial arts but only the fundamental knowledge, which couldn’t be taught.

Except for skills.

After he learned the skills, not only had he become a veteran dagger, but he gained considerable related knowledge in his mind.

At least more than enough to teach someone else.

“That’s exactly what I want!”

Colleen laughed. Apparently she was satisfied with Qin Ran teaching her how to use a dagger.

After all, she had witnessed his dagger skills yesterday during the fight. He was fast, accurate and fatal.

Living in a war-torn environment, Colleen clearly knew the benefits of mastering a dagger.

Subsequently, Qin Ran explained on the side with detailed demonstration.

However, there was no system prompt for him teaching others.

Obviously, Qin Ran was only able to learn from others, but not teach someone else.

There might be restrictions in the game itself.

He also guessed that it might be his own low skill level.

He taught her from morning to the afternoon.

Then they took a rest.

To handle the battle tonight, both of them had to reserve their physical strength.

“Looks like I don’t have much talent.”

Colleen gave the dagger back to Qin Ran and shook her head.

“You already did a good job!”

Qin Ran said.

This wasn’t him comforting her. He was telling the truth.

However, Colleen took it as just comforting words.

“Compared to you, I’m the world’s stupidest person!”

She sighed. However, successfully surviving in the war for four months, she was tough enough and said: “Don’t worry. I won’t drag you behind tonight.”

“I trust you!” Qin Ran smiled and nodded.

While taking a rest, they didn’t sit idly. Colleen and Qin Ran perfected their plan.

Colleen was drawing with her fingers on the floor.

Soon, Qin Ran saw a schematic view of a garden villa area.

“This is the main road of the garden villa area. It’s seven or eight feet wide, and it has a very wide field of vision, so we absolutely cannot have a fight here. If we are surrounded, we will definitely die.  The best location should be around the villa ruins. It has places to hide, and the rubbles, wood and the walls are enough to destroy their numerical superiority.” Colleen pointed at the sketch and said seriously.

“Then let’s fight here!”

Qin Ran agreed.

For the ‘stranger’ Qin Ran, the survivor Colleen’s proposal was exactly what he needed. Especially regarding the topography of the battlefield!

“What else do I need to pay attention to?” Qin Ran would definitely not let any chances to know about the surroundings go.

“Here there is another group of mobsters. And here…” Colleen warned Qin Ran.

It was already getting dark as they kept discussing.

The “wolf” Hooker was the Vulture’s right-hand man. He was the most capable one.

At the moment, Hooker was with six men patrolling in the garden villa area. They all had firearm and body armors.

The six men looked around, while Hooker’s face was filled with rage. Someone even dared to challenge the famous Vulture!

You know, as the Vulture’s capable subordinate, Hooker was a large reason for the Vulture’s fame.

Hooker himself was very proud of it, especially when he got actual benefit from it.

When the other guys were hungry, he was able to eat, hold weapons, and get rid of any random people who he disliked.

For Hooker, this was the perfect life he desired. Any person who dared to try and destroy this life was his enemy.

So, after he confirmed the death of the two men after him, Hooker asked the Vulture to kill the two son of bi**s himself!

“They should be in this area. Keep your eyes peeled! Remember, don’t stay too close to them because they have two firearms! Never relax even though there is a woman!”

Hooker shouted loudly.

“Yes, sir!”

The six men then walked toward the inner ruins.

However, every one of them had had a sense of arrogance. They had firearms, so what?

According with the Vulture’s rules, when everyone left the nest, they were only given four bullets. From Sixth Avenue to this place, their dead companions would waste one or two bullets because it was customary—after each shot, they liked to see how the survivors fled. This was one of their interests formed throughout the four months.

In this context, they were going to face the two bi**es. Inevitably they would waste some bullets.

Therefore, even if the two bi**es got two pistols, then what?

With only three to four bullets, the two of them were not a threat.

This time, the killing of two subordinates angered the Vulture, so he sent several times the number of people out and gave them ample ammunition, and even body armor!

With the body vests, the subordinates were full of confidence.

Although the police body armors were not enough to deal with a.s.sault rifles, they were enough to deal with small caliber pistols.

Not only the six men thought so, so did Hooker.

Holding the firearm, Hooker followed closely behind the six men with his eyes scanning around.

He could not wait to kill the two bi**es!

……

Same with Qin Ran.

Qin Ran was hiding in a pile of rubbles, once the ‘wolves’ Hooker and his group of people appeared, they found each other.

In fact, it wasn’t unexpected for Qin Ran that the other side quickly found his hiding place.

Although he avoided these guys last night, it wasn’t difficult for the followers to predict the direction where Colleen and him were going.

Simply put, everything was expected.

And what he needed to do now was to wait quietly.

He wanted to wait for them to get close, and then give them a fatal blow.

This was not an easy task. It required great patience and considerable skill.

Fortunately, Qin Ran inherently had good patience.

And Qin Ran had gained considerable skill.

The two together made the confrontation easier.

It was even more possible when the opponents were overconfident.

Seven mobs lined up at a distance, then they started the search.

And the one pa.s.sing by Qin Ran with a firearm was one of the least alert!

He looked undisciplined and was hanging around. He didn’t know that someone was hiding in the rubble beside him. He didn’t even glance there once. The guy simply looked around for places likely to accommodate a person.

He would never believe that Qin Ran and Colleen would ever dare to be proactive.

In his perception, the two bi**es should be hiding somewhere trembling.

So, when Qin Ran suddenly jumped out, the gunmen was off-guard.

Poof!

The sharp dagger directly cut his throat.

“Uh!”

Blood rushed into his trachea, so his last screams became m.u.f.fled, hoa.r.s.e and indistinct, and finally, with a look of disbelief, he was dragged by Qin into the ruins.

“The first one!”

Qin Ran picked up the firearm.

The cartridge clip was full.

With 7 bullets.

Qin Ran was excited.

Because to ensure the plan was successful, Qin Ran gave one firearm to Colleen, which had 5 bullets.

In fact, if not for sudden accidents, Qin Ran would give all his bullets to her—with only a few hours’ training, she wasn’t capable of applying the skills into actual combat.

And now there was a gun full of bullets. It was definitely a pleasant surprise for him.

However, the most exciting was the body armor!
