Chapter 748 Charry
“If there’s a chance, I’ll have to evaluate the power of this black bullet and its actual trajectory speed.” Yang Xiaojin said in seriousness, “It’s a good thing that it’s fast, but without understanding it well, its accuracy might get affected. In terms of power, if even a T5 combatant can get penetrated by it, there shouldn’t be anyone today who can stand up to this bullet.”
After all, even an automatic rifle’s bullet could only get embedded in a T5 combatant’s skin. This kind of physical strength was enough to make any normal person despair.
But now, the black bullet had even pierced a T5 combatant’s heart. He couldn’t be any deader than he was.
Although Yang Xiaojin’s previous sniper rifle was also very good, the potential of her skills had always been limited by it.
It was not that her sniper rifle was not powerful, but that supernatural beings were becoming even stronger.
But now that Yang Xiaojin had the black sniper rifle, and with the power of the black bullets, her potential was raised even further.
“Wait a minute, the T5 combatant’s wound is turning black,” Ren Xiaosu said.
Yang Xiaojin also looked over and saw the wound on the T5 combatant’s corpse turning black. In just two seconds, the entire corpse had blackened.
“Why did it turn black?” Yang Xiaojin turned around and looked at Ren Xiaosu. “Don’t you know the effects of your own bullets?”
“It’s also my first time using it,” Ren Xiaosu said helplessly. However, he felt the blackening effect was not that simple. The palace never did anything unnecessarily, after all.
As the two of them spoke, the other T5 combatant dragged his teammate’s corpse behind some cover and checked on his teammate’s injuries.
He checked his teammate’s eyes but found the pupils had already dilated. There was no doubt he was already dead.
But at this moment, the still surviving T5 combatant was shocked to discover the fingers he had used to touch his teammate’s eyelids had also started turning black. In just a couple seconds, that strange blackness had already spread up to his neck.
He retreated in a panic. However, even after his entire body blackened, it did not seem like he was experiencing any pain. It was just that he had blackened!
The T5 combatant had a ferocious look on his face. He could not understand what was going on. That blackness seemed to have seeped into his skin, and he could not wipe it off.
It was just a bullet, but it blackened his skin?!
Thinking of this, the T5 combatant did not stay around any longer and ran into the forest as fast as he could.
Yang Xiaojin was stunned when she saw him coming out from behind the rock cover. “What was that dark shadowy thing just now?”
Ren Xiaosu was also bewildered. “It’s that other T5 combatant, isn’t it? Why has he also blackened?”
Yang Xiaojin did not say anything. She tried to shoot the target with another black bullet, only to realize it had run out.
“That’s strange. Is the black bullet only limited to one shot?” Yang Xiaojin asked.
Ren Xiaosu gave it some thought before asking the palace in his mind, “What’s the quant.i.ty of the black bullets?”.
“One per day, with 12 AM as the reset point,” the voice from the palace answered.
Ren Xiaosu sighed. It wasn’t easy for him to discover a method that could kill a T5 combatant in one hit, yet there was still a time limit imposed on it?
No, there should be other restrictions too!
Ren Xiaosu scanned his mind palace. He saw the bra.s.s typewriter type out a line of words: Grat.i.tude tokens, -100. In just an instant, Ren Xiaosu’s heart ached. He only had a few hundred grat.i.tude tokens at the moment, so he would be deducting one-sixth of them.
When he first saw the third weapon required 10,000 grat.i.tude tokens to unlock, he felt he was still a long way off from getting it. As such, he temporarily gave up on acc.u.mulating more grat.i.tude tokens. But from the look of things, he would have to ply his old trade
again!
When Yang Xiaojin found out the black bullet could only be used once a day, she found it a pity. “Alright then, we’ll try shooting it again tomorrow.”
Ren Xiaosu hurriedly said, “Ahem, the black bullet is now your trump card, so how can you show it to others so easily? It’s better to use it only when it’s absolutely critical.”
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu was still quite egotistic in front of Yang Xiaojin. He was embarra.s.sed to say he could not afford the daily grat.i.tude tokens required for the black bullet’s usage, so he found an excuse to persuade Yang Xiaojin not to use them unnecessarily.
However, Yang Xiaojin immediately saw through him.
“Hm?” Yang Xiaojin looked at him carefully and understood. “Judging by your stinginess, there should be a price for using the black bullet. Alright then, I won’t use it unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
Ren Xiaosu beamed. “Actually, you don’t have to care about helping me save if you really encounter any danger. Your safety is paramount.”
“Let’s get out of here.” Yang Xiaojin said, “Since we’ve made contact with the T5 combatants, we can’t remain in a fixed ambush location. We have to think of a way to get rid of the other T5.”
The Pyro Company’s troops who were getting closer and closer were still unaware they had been targeted by the Grim Reaper. Suddenly, a commotion came from the forest. The troops immediately turned their muzzles there, ready to fire at any moment.
Amid the tense situation, a dark figure emerged from the forest.
“Holy f.u.c.k, what’s that?!” the officer in charge of the troops roared. Meanwhile, one of the Pyro Company’s troops next to him pulled the trigger in his nervousness!
The T5 combatant pulled the bullets out of his chest and face with a look of ferociousness. “I’m T5036. Which b.a.s.t.a.r.d fired at me just now?”
“You’re T5036?”
T5036 said coldly, “Keep advancing. The enemy is right in front of you. Go and attract their firepower. I’m gonna kill them!”
The commander could recognize T5036 from his voice, so he hurriedly responded affirmatively. After that, T5036 disappeared into the forest again. Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin had already started s.h.i.+fting to a new location. The sun would set in another half an hour at most, so they had to end this pursuit before that. The wilderness was incomparably peaceful. There were no wild animals here, and even the birds had been hunted to extinction.
Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu heard an explosion ring out behind him. The Pyro Company members must have just arrived at their previous ambush spot and triggered the grenade trap set by Yang Xiaojin.
He turned around to check on the situation behind them.
But the moment he turned around, a shadow suddenly pounced out from behind a rock 10 meters to his right.
T5036 had been sneakily closing in on them for a while now. It was only at this moment that he suddenly launched an attack as he wanted to take advantage of Ren Xiaosu being distracted to kill him in one strike!
But when he was in the air, he saw Ren Xiaosu’s lips curving upward. ‘s.h.i.+t!’ T5036 immediately tried to turn around, but something burst up from the pile of decomposing leaves underneath him. Old Xu, who was wearing a white mask, collided into T5036 in midair at lightning speed.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, Charry,” Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
T5036 was enraged. He endured the pain of being ambushed and rolled on the ground. Then he looked fiercely at Ren Xiaosu and said, “Who the f.u.c.k are you calling Charry?!”
