Along with the explosion, the CCG convoy ca to a halt, and the ghoul investigators with assault rifles dashed out of the vehicles, using the doors as cover, cautiously observing their surroundings.
"First-class Bai Ye, are you alright?"
Maniwa Haruo rushed over, holding a Kuingke.
Su Xiao hid behind a vehicle, signaling Maniwa Haruo not to co closer.
The explosion just now might have been a test, likely an attempt to see if they could blow him up.
Currently, a large number of ghoul investigators are with Su Xiao. Unless the enemy Contractor is brainless, there’s no way they would confront him now.
The firepower of these hundreds of ghoul investigators is definitely not to be underestimated.
Unless the enemy Contractor can instantly eliminate these investigators.
The street was unusually quiet, only the sizzling sound of burning vehicles could be heard.
"It seems like soone wants to kill us, but why?"
Shuuzou Suzuya peeked outside cautiously, looking eager to jump into action.
Just as Su Xiao was surveying the area, trying to pinpoint the enemy’s general location, the enemy Contractor attacked directly.
A green shockwave spread out instantly, sweeping over Su Xiao in the blink of an eye.
[You are affected by ’Wrath of Nature’, Intelligence Attribute check in progress.]
[Check result: Intelligence Attribute above 10 points, immune to sleep effect.]
[You have resisted the control of ’Wrath of Nature’, life energy restored to 100%.]
After the green shockwave passed, the ghoul investigators around Su Xiao began falling one after another. They weren’t dead, just deeply asleep, emitting a faint green glow.
Shuuzou Suzuya beside Su Xiao staggered as if he were drunk, but with his tenacious will, he remarkably stayed on his feet.
Su Xiao grabbed Shuuzou Suzuya’s head and smashed it against the car door.
"Bang."
The tal of the door caved in significantly, with a trickle of blood flowing from Shuuzou Suzuya’s white hair.
Shuuzou Suzuya’s originally dazed eyes gradually regained clarity, looking at Su Xiao in confusion.
Su Xiao still held Shuuzou Suzuya’s head.
"Are you awake now?" If he wasn’t, Su Xiao was ready to hit again.
Shuuzou Suzuya nodded, and Su Xiao let go.
"What just happened? I really wanted to sleep."
Shuuzou Suzuya bore no grudges, instead edging closer to Su Xiao.
"Suzuya, enemies will appear soon. Try to hold off one or two enemies for . Even if they’re not ghouls, just kill them, understand?"
Shuuzou Suzuya nodded.
This is why Su Xiao brought Shuuzou Suzuya along. This little white-haired guy almost has no sense of right or wrong. If it were Maniwa Haruo, she definitely wouldn’t accept such orders.
For ghoul investigators, there’s a fundantal difference between killing ghouls and killing humans.
"You hide here and wait for my command."
As Su Xiao spoke, he grabbed Maniwa Haruo’s Kuingke and tossed it to Shuuzou Suzuya.
Maniwa Haruo had already fallen asleep; it seed she couldn’t resist the sleep effect.
Su Xiao stood up, holding Dragon Slash as he stepped out from behind the car, his attention focused to the extre.
The street was utterly silent, only the ghoul investigators already in deep sleep remained.
The opposition ca prepared, first using explosives to block the way, then unleashing a mass control, weakening Su Xiao’s forces.
In a small alley hundreds of ters away, a green-clad girl nad Yezi looked at a piece of parchnt in her hand with distress. The parchnt was covered in mysterious and intricate patterns, but at that mont, large cracks appeared on it.
It was a green skill scroll, usable only once.
"Sister Queen, if the guy doesn’t drop a blood card, we’re taking a huge loss."
Yezi looked worried as she released the parchnt in her hand, which turned to ash.
The Queen shook her head, a smirk forming on her red lips as she said, "Don’t worry. Even if there’s no blood card, the subsequent ’World Source’ will compensate our loss, and we can still make a significant gain. Then, I’ll get you a Healing Rod."
Upon hearing about the Healing Rod, Yezi’s eyes imdiately lit up, but she suddenly thought of sothing.
"No, I need to resurrect ’KaKa’ first, which requires a huge cost."
The Queen’s expression turned somber, knowing the price of resurrecting ’KaKa’.
"Alright, we’ll resurrect ’KaKa’ when this world ends."
Yezi was a bit moved, about to speak, but the Queen raised a hand to stop her.
"That guy is out, Black and White, ready to snipe."
The Queen pulled out a giant tal shield the size of a door, ready to face the enemy at any mont.
"Got it."
On the rooftop of a distant building, Black and White lay on the edge, a tan thick cloth spread beneath.
Black and White spat out chewing gum, her long purple ponytail falling down her back, and her fair fingers gently pressing her temple.
"Buzz~."
The sound of precise machinery resonated.
"Click~. Click~. Click~."
A small piece of head armor appeared above Black and White’s head, and an optical device appeared in front of her right eye, sowhat similar to night vision goggles, but emitting red light and extrely precise.
This was a piece of green equipnt, ideal for snipers, with functions like night vision, thermal energy detection, and ultrasonic probing.
Black and White’s slender fingers rested on the sniper rifle’s trigger, with the red crosshair in the scope aiming directly at Su Xiao.
Previously, Black and White didn’t dare to do this because Su Xiao’s perception was too keen.
Walking on the street, Su Xiao’s steps suddenly halted, a chilling sensation coursing through him.
He was being targeted, and by a lethal weapon.
Relying on instinct, Su Xiao began to perceive the source of danger, quickly locking onto a general location, to his upper left.
Looking in that direction, he only saw a darkened building in the night.
Through the sniper scope, Black and White watched Su Xiao raise his head, looking directly at her position, letting out a light snort, sowhat speechless.
"Damn intelligence specialist."
As she spoke, Black and White pulled the trigger....
Su Xiao remained where he stood, the feeling of danger reaching its peak. Suddenly, he felt a faint prickling pain near his heart and instinctively sidestepped.
"Bang." A gunshot shattered the night’s quiet.
A gust of wind brushed closely past his shoulder, leaving a hot stream and blowing a hole with a diater of several centiters in the asphalt road behind him, asphalt scattering everywhere.
Sniper!
Su Xiao managed to evade the shot, not because he was faster than a bullet, but because he made a pre-emptive dodge, a prediction based on foreknowledge.
Standing where he was, Su Xiao suddenly charged rapidly towards the source of danger.
"Bang, bang, bang~!"
Black and White fired three more shots, but only one grazed Su Xiao’s sleeve.
The distance between them quickly closed from 700 ters to 400 ters.
Black and White’s scalp tingled as she felt like she was being targeted by a beast.
Black and White’s fingers swiftly squeezed the trigger.
However, Su Xiao seed to predict the bullet trajectories beforehand, evading all her shots.
In this life-or-death mont, Su Xiao’s perception grew sharper, reaching unprecedented levels.
The next shot targeted by the unknown sniper would vaguely cause a prickling pain at the target spot on Su Xiao, allowing him to evade the bullets.
"Queen, this guy’s perception is freakishly strong. I can’t lock onto him. Buy so ti, I’ll use that move."
"No problem."
Queen nodded, hidden in the alley.
"Yezi, you keep hiding here and prepare to heal when needed."
Yezi nodded, and before Queen left the alley, a green light glowed in Yezi’s hand.
"Honor Badge."
Green light surrounded the Queen, her arm muscles visibly swelling.
"I’m going in. Keep an eye on my health."
The Queen charged out of the alley, roaring as she rushed towards Su Xiao.
The Queen’s main attribute was physical, so she wasn’t fast initially, but as she charged towards Su Xiao, her speed increased, eventually nearing a blur.
Noticing the rapidly charging Queen, Su Xiao had to temporarily abandon the unknown sniper.
"Suzuya, head to the rooftop of that mall and deal with the enemies up there."
