Messages were sent out, but after waiting for a long time, no one came.
Jiang Ye was at a loss and sent several more messages in the chat channel:
"Urgent help in the martial world! Looking for a handgun and ammunition. I have some food and heating supplies."
"Price is negotiable! Desperately need a handgun!"
"Does any big shot have a handgun! I can pay a large sum of money!"
Jiang Ye grew more anxious because, during this time, gunshots had sounded twice in the distance.
Finally, a private message popped up.
Someone with the ID "Qian Gulu Bu Zhuan" sent a message:
"You need a weapon, right? I don't have a handgun, only a five-shot. Do you want it?"
Jiang Ye was stunned. A five-shot? What was that?
Qian Gulu Bu Zhuan: "Do you know Liu Huaqiang? Remember that episode where he said 'I gave you a chance, but you're useless'? The hunting rifle he used was a five-shot. You load five bullets at once, fire, pump, fire, pump, fire, and you can fire five shots consecutively. It's incredibly powerful and can kill a wild ox with one shot."
Jiang Ye didn't hesitate: "I want it! How many bullets do you have? Name your price."
Jiang Ye only had a needle-type shotgun, which could only fire two bullets consecutively. This five-shot hunting rifle could fire five shots in quick succession, increasing his firepower by 2.5 times in a short period. He originally intended to buy a handgun as a backup, in case the shotgun failed to take down an enemy, he could draw his handgun and continue firing. Now, without a handgun but with a five-shot, it was also a good option.
Qian Gulu Bu Zhuan: "I'm freezing to death. If you can give me a cotton-padded coat, a stove, and a sack of coal, I'll give you this rifle and fifty bullets."
Jiang Ye: "Deal."
The transaction was completed quickly. He bought a cotton-padded coat, cotton-padded pants, a stove, and a bag of coal and put them into the trading vault.
With a flash of light, the clothes, stove, and coal disappeared, and a long, black hunting rifle appeared!
Jiang Ye picked up the gun. It was heavier than he expected, and the caliber was indeed large. It looked menacing.
Next to the gun was a bullet box, containing five rows of ten bullets.
Jiang Ye took out five bullets, loaded them quickly into the gun, and pumped it. The heavy five-shot made a crisp "click" sound, clean and efficient.
"Damn, this is good stuff." He grinned through gritted teeth.
Then, he stuffed four blood grenades into his pockets, slung the needle-type shotgun over his back, and hung the samurai sword at his waist.
Finally, carrying the five-shot, fully armed, he pushed open the base door.
The cold wind was fierce, biting and chilling.
The wilderness was pitch black, and the wind howled as if demons were wailing.
The temperature had already dropped to nearly minus ten degrees Celsius.
Jiang Ye cautiously scanned his surroundings, then moved towards the direction of the gunshots.
He didn't use the base vehicle because it was too conspicuous. If the other party had blood grenades, throwing them at the base vehicle could unexpectedly kill him.
Under the cover of night, he would quietly approach the person who fired the gun. Being hidden while the enemy is visible was the key.
He didn't know how many people there were, but with the five-shot in hand and the backup needle-type shotgun, Jiang Ye was confident he could sneak up and kill at least three enemies at close range.
If someone were standing next to the base vehicle at this moment, they would see Jiang Ye running quickly, disappearing into the night, swallowed by the darkness like a ghost.
He advanced cautiously, his ears perked, listening.
The wind howled everywhere. Even in his cotton-padded coat, he felt cold. The cold air pierced his clothes like knives, easily penetrating the cotton and stabbing into his flesh. After walking for more than a hundred meters, Jiang Ye's face and hands were numb from the cold.
He kept moving his hands to prevent his fingers from freezing.
The other party also had guns. If a firefight broke out, he needed to pull the trigger faster than the enemy! Therefore, his hands couldn't be stiff!
After leaving the base for more than three hundred meters, Jiang Ye was a little breathless.
"Bang!" Another gunshot sounded ahead, seemingly very close.
The moment the gun fired, Jiang Ye's gaze caught a flicker in the darkness to his front left.
He cautiously aimed his gun and moved in that direction.
After walking another two hundred meters, he encountered a steep slope.
The wind was strong on the slope, blowing sand everywhere.
Jiang Ye braced himself against the gale and climbed to the top of the slope.
As soon as he reached the crest, he abruptly raised his gun.
Ten meters ahead, two figures were walking one behind the other.
Both of them were thinly dressed and seemed to be freezing in the biting cold wind, walking forward at an angle. The person in front was walking in a wobbly s-shaped path, while the one behind was holding a handgun, trembling as they loaded bullets into it. After loading, they raised it and aimed at the person in front.
"Stop!" Jiang Ye shouted, holding his gun, "If anyone moves again, I'll shoot!"
Both figures froze, stopped, and stared at Jiang Ye, who was aiming his gun.
The person in front immediately raised their hands and knelt on the ground. The person behind, holding the handgun, dared not move, as Jiang Ye's long rifle was aimed at them.
"Why are you killing people!" Jiang Ye stared intently at the gunman. "Throw the handgun on the ground, throw it far away! Quickly!"
The gunman remained stiff, seemingly hesitant.
"We are twenty paces apart. I have a long rifle, and you have a handgun. You can't hit me, but I can end your life with one shot!" Jiang Ye roared, like a beast. "Three! Two!" Da Feng Novel Network
The gunman gave up. With a flick of his arm, he threw the small handgun three meters away on the ground. Then, he raised his hands.
"Hey! Don't let the person in front escape!" the gunman shouted, her voice hoarse and weak, "She's a spy robot! I've been walking in the snow for too long, and my strength is exhausted."
"I'm not! She's a bandit! Save me!" the person being chased, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately shouted. It was also a woman's voice.
Jiang Ye slowly advanced. It was too dark to see them clearly at this distance.
"Keep your hands up high! If anyone lowers their hands, I'll shoot immediately!" Jiang Ye threatened them. "This gun of mine can kill five people in one go!"
The gunman and the pursued person both raised their hands high, looking at Jiang Ye expectantly.
Finally, he approached within a few steps, and Jiang Ye got a clear look at the person being chased, who was closer to him. He was somewhat surprised.
It was a blonde Caucasian beauty, like a Russian girl, wearing a colonial officer's uniform. Her figure was incredibly hot, managing to wear the rigid uniform in a way that accentuated her curves, exuding a seductive charm. Her hair was tied into a braid, revealing a slender neck, and her skin was so pale it seemed to carry a chill.
Although her face was covered in dust, it couldn't hide her beauty. It seemed that with a wash and a change of dress, she could immediately walk the runway at Paris Fashion Week.
"Your name, what do you do, and why is she chasing you?" Jiang Ye frowned.
"Natalia, a colonial officer like you. My residence is only a few kilometers from here! I haven't eaten anything for days and came out to find food, but I ran into her. She inexplicably chased me and kept shooting at me. If it weren't for God's protection, she would have killed me long ago!" Natalia's eyes reddened. She spoke fluent Chinese and pleaded, "Please save me. If you kill her, you'll be my savior. You can do anything you want to me!"
"Don't get close to her!" the gunman behind shouted. "Don't believe her lies! She's a robot!"
