NOVEL WEB Chapter 67
"Big brother, now that your injuries have healed, shouldn't we be setting off soon?"
0
Setting off, to strike back with vengeance!
0
After suffering such a heavy defeat, it would be a disservice to themselves not to exact eye for an eye.
0
Moreover, she had many things to accomplish, and time couldn't be wasted lingering here.
0
Lu Chen gazed calmly into the distance, his eyes unfathomably deep.
0
"It's time."
0
Beside him, Xiao Feng furrowed his thick brows, "You're leaving?"
0
"Yeah, will you miss us?"
0
Nie Yizhou walked over and draped an arm around his shoulder.
0
These past days, he was grateful to have this poor sap of a brother to keep him company as they endured the grueling training and beatings.
0
Without him, this hellish demonic training would have been utterly unbearable.
0
Xiao Feng glanced back at the small house.
0
Initially, he had planned to come to his grandmother's home, to stay with her and protect her, even if it meant dying here.
0
But now his grandmother was gone, and he had unexpectedly befriended these three individuals.
0
Although their personalities were all quite peculiar, he found them very much to his liking.
0
Suddenly hearing that they were leaving, he felt a twinge of reluctance.
0
Perhaps...
0
In this apocalyptic world filled with despair at every turn, staying together with such a group wouldn't be so bad.
0
He turned his gaze back to the three of them.
0
"Can I leave with you?"
0
Yun Xiaoxiao's dimples appeared as she smiled sweetly.
0
"Brother Feng, you know that following us... means you could die at any moment, right?"
0
Her smile was mischievous and slightly wicked.
0
Xiao Feng ran a hand through his spiky red hair.
0
"Die if we die. Who doesn't die eventually? It's just a matter of sooner or later. What's the big deal? At least if I'm with you guys, someone will be around to bury me."
0
"Haha, well said! Come on, brother Feng, let's go conquer this apocalyptic world together!"
0
"Who are you calling 'brother'? Get lost! If anything, I should be the one calling you that!"
0
"You?" Nie Yizhou looked him up and down. "You're barely out of diapers, and you want to be called 'brother'?"
0
"Who are you saying is barely out of diapers? I'd say you're the one who—"
0
"Ahem..." Lu Chen cleared his throat lightly. "Mind yourselves, we have a minor present."
0
Yun Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose, feigning innocence as if she hadn't heard or understood anything.
0
She was still just a child, after all...
0
Nie Yizhou and Xiao Feng glared at each other one last time before simultaneously shutting up.
0
The four of them quickly packed up their belongings from the house.
0
Xiao Feng knelt before his grandmother's grave and kowtowed a few times.
0
"Let's go."
0
After Xiao Feng stood up, the four of them walked out of the mud-walled courtyard together.
0
On one side of the road outside the abandoned prison.
0
It was a slope, with farmland below and the road above.
0
The four of them lay on the slope, raising their heads slightly so that only their eyes and above were visible.
0
Xiao Feng didn't understand, "Why are we hiding here?"
0
Lu Chen's voice was low, "We were shot at here before. The shooter was likely a highly skilled sniper. If we appear recklessly, we might fall into another trap."
0
"You mean they're still out there waiting for us to show up, Chen?"
0
Nie Yizhou glanced towards the abandoned prison.
0
But the distance was too great; he could only see the buildings, not whether there were people on them.
0
"It's very possible."
0
"I have an idea."
0
A crisp childish voice suddenly rang out.
0
Nie Yizhou looked at Yun Xiaoxiao, whose eyes gleamed with calculation and cunning.
0
"Kid, you've got another one of your sneaky plans, don't you? But let me tell you upfront, I'm not dressing up as a woman again this time. If someone has to do it, make... Xiao Feng do it."
0
Xiao Feng: ???
0
"You've dressed up as a woman before?" He tried hard to suppress his laughter, his tone dripping with sarcasm, "No wonder you're so effeminate."
0
Nie Yizhou glared at him with murderous intent, gritting his teeth, "Who are you calling effeminate, you little brat!"
0
"Alright, settle down, you two." Lu Chen pinched the bridge of his nose.
0
"Xiaoxiao, go ahead and tell us your idea."
0
"Big brother, I think..."
0
Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled with mischief as she laid out her thoughts and plans one by one.
0
After she finished, Nie Yizhou patted her shoulder.
0
"Not bad, kid. That little brain of yours is pretty sharp. You've got a bag full of tricks, don't you?"
0
Xiao Feng agreed, "Indeed, you're a clever little devil. Anyone who crosses you is bound to regret it."
0
On the roof of a tall building in the abandoned prison.
0
A young man lay prone on the ground, holding a rifle and carefully scanning the surroundings of the prison through the scope.
0
Besides him, there were two others in similar positions on lower buildings nearby.
0
However, those two were clearly less professional than him.
0
Suddenly, the young man's brows furrowed, his expression growing serious.
0
He adjusted the focus on his scope, staring intently at the direction of the road.
0
A head wearing a baseball cap had just poked out from the side of the road.
0
It was the little girl from before!
0
His eyes lit up as he aimed at the 'person's' head and pulled the trigger.
0
"Bang!"
0
A direct hit.
0
The 'person' immediately fell down.
0
At that moment, three more tall figures wearing baseball caps and keeping their heads low crawled out from the side of the road.
0
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
0
Three gunshots rang out in quick succession.
0
Those three 'people' fell to the ground without surprise, lifeless.
0
The young man frowned slightly.
0
Although he had successfully dealt with those 'people', he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
0
It seemed... too easy!
0
His previous impression of those people was that they were quite formidable.
0
At this moment, on the slope by the roadside, four figures simultaneously disappeared.
0
Left behind were four headless mannequins dressed in clothes, their plastic heads shattered by bullets.
0
These were the mannequins Yun Xiaoxiao had stored in her spatial inventory when collecting clothes from a clothing store earlier.
0
Just now, they had used these fake people to deceive the sniper on the other side.
0
From that distance, with baseball caps on and only a small part of the body exposed, the enemy had no time to discern whether they were real people or not.
0
This was exactly the effect she had aimed for.
0
Otherwise, how else could they pinpoint the enemy's exact location?
0
"Hi there, how are you?"
0
As the young man was pondering in confusion, a light childish voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
0
His heart jolted, and he quickly turned around.
0
In the next second, a bullet was flying straight towards the center of his forehead.
0
His face filled with terror, but he had no time to dodge before the bullet pierced his skull.
0
In that moment, he finally realized what had felt off earlier.
0
The 'people' he had shot were stiff and unyielding, not even trying to dodge, as if... they were waiting to be shot!
0
So, it had been intentional!
0
It was all to locate his position!
0
But even though he had figured it out, it was far too late.
0
He fell, his face a mask of shock and unwillingness.
0
As Yun Xiaoxiao fired at him, Lu Chen also raised his gun, swiftly taking out the snipers on the other two lower buildings.
0
"They're back! They're back!"
0
"They've killed all three gunmen!"
0
At this moment, the guards below also spotted their figures.
0
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
