Chapter 12 Counter-Kill

Suren was also somewhat surprised that Kay would bring him along at the most critical moment.

At that distance, Kay's muscle burst was enough for him to retreat unscathed and jump into the cave calmly. But taking someone along meant he was lightly injured by the aftershock of the explosion.

But clearly, this was also the most correct choice.

Not to mention that Kay was a sentimental person, as the captain, he wouldn't abandon his subordinates and escape on his own. Otherwise, the moment the enemies appeared, knowing they couldn't win, he should have done that.

And the current situation was even worse. If Suren also died, he would never be able to escape the encirclement of those Steam Party guys.

Even if he escaped into the cave, it would only delay his death.

.......

The two fell into the cave, rolling as they landed.

Suren immediately smelled a burnt aroma of meat and burning hair.

His night vision wasn't bad, and he saw at a glance that a large area of Kay's back was burned, and there seemed to be bleeding wounds, probably because this guy had also been shot in the firefight earlier.

Kay stood up, panting heavily, the leather armor melted and stuck to his skin, the pain making him grit his teeth.

But he didn't groan, took out a potion and stuck it in his leg, temporarily delaying the worsening of his injuries, and asked, "Suren, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Suren himself was fine, because Kay was in front of him, the explosion only burned part of his thigh, and the iron sand on his back wasn't deep.

These injuries didn't affect his movement.

Kay glanced at the [Three-Headed Ghoul] in Suren's hand, his expression slightly surprised, as if he recognized this famous gun, but didn't say much.

Many people who join gangs have their own secrets.

He looked at the dark environment around him and said seriously, "We can't stay here for long, those Steam Party guys know I'm injured, they will definitely chase us down."

"Yeah."

Suren also nodded, if he were a Steam Party member, he would definitely come down to eradicate them.

If Kay didn't die, this action would be completely meaningless.

Without saying much, the two walked and observed the environment.

Suren was looking at what was probably the subway station a thousand years ago, the platform, stairs, waiting room, and even traces left after the rails rotted.

Kay's night vision goggles didn't allow him to see too clearly, but having come from the slums, he knew how to judge the direction of escape underground. He listened to the sound of water and whispered, "There's the sound of water to the west, the passage over there shouldn't be blocked. I'll help you hold them back for a while, and you escape first. Their target is me, we'll try to hold on for a while. There's a lot of noise here, the gang will get the message and definitely send people to support us. Maybe we can survive..."

Suren raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this suggestion.

There was nothing wrong with Kay's plan.

Two people together would indeed hinder each other.

Kay's own burst speed was very strong, and he would have an easier time surviving alone. Moreover, if they split up, the enemy's focus would definitely be on chasing him, and Suren's chances of survival would be much greater.

But Suren looked at the shadows lurking in the dark depths, his face becoming very solemn.

In this cave, there weren't just them, there were also some "natives."

Judging from the [Mutated Abomination] he had killed before, there were probably more unknown monsters in this underground.

Going deeper might not necessarily give them a better chance of survival than facing those Steam Party guys.

Thinking of this, Suren shook his head and said, "I think we'd better not go too deep."

Kay seemed to have also thought of the existence of monsters, and frowned, "But now, we don't seem to have a better choice..."

"No, I think we can ambush them here."

Suren looked at the spatial layout of the ancient subway station, whether it was the platform, passage, or track... they were all well preserved.

In the previous battle, these ancient buildings withstood most of the bullets, which gave Suren an idea.

This was the best cover.

For a gunman, this complex environment was also the most favorable battlefield.

"You want to ambush them here?"

Kay was obviously surprised by Suren's crazy suggestion.

The enemy outnumbered them ten to one, and to say this at this moment, if he wasn't crazy, then he had extraordinary abilities.

At least for him, a melee combatant, there was absolutely no chance of winning!

Suren's suggestion seemed to be to Kay's liking, counter-killing was much more enjoyable than being chased around in embarrassment.

His eyes lit up, and he asked, "Are you confident?"

He hadn't seen that the usually taciturn gang member had such a crazy side.

Thinking back to the scene where he killed a dozen Steam Party members in one round, Kay increasingly felt that this newcomer who had just joined the gang was not simple.

"This environment is very suitable for sniping, apart from those two professionals, the others... are not worth fearing."

Suren's tone was very calm when he said this.

But Kay heard the confidence in his words, and he realized that this was a "firearms expert" who never missed!

Suren analyzed again, "But once I shoot, I will expose my position. That 'Iron Gorilla' will definitely come to kill me immediately, then, I will need you, Captain, to help me stall for time. I still have two alchemy bullets in my hand, if I'm lucky, I might be able to kill him... then we can counter-kill!"

"Counter-kill?"

Not only sniping, but also counter-killing?

Kay's expression instantly perked up when he heard this.

After a slight abnormality, he immediately understood the key to this tactic.

If they wanted to counter-kill, the two couldn't separate, otherwise they would only be defeated one by one.

But professionals weren't that easy to kill, even if you had a gun in your hand. After advancing, professionals had extremely high nerve reaction speed and alertness, even for firearms experts it was difficult to kill them, let alone that there was an invulnerable "Iron Gorilla" Sith among the enemies.

However, looking at the expressionless Suren, Kay also knew that this composure must have a matching foundation: this guy must still have an "ace in the hole"!

"Okay!"

Kay chose to believe Suren, nodded without hesitation, and said, "Although Sith's profession is a bit restraining to me. But it's impossible for him to beat me in a short time."

Suren: "Yeah. Then please be sure to hold him back for at least ten breaths, Captain."

Kay: "Only ten breaths? That's definitely no problem."

Suren felt that communicating with smart people saved time, and he said again, "Not only the Steam Party, but also monsters. I just heard some abnormal movements near the water source, it might be a monster's nest..."

As he said that, he pointed to the darkness.

This was also the most important reason why Suren would choose to risk staying here to ambush people, rather than escape.

He explained, "Most of the mutated monsters here are 'hearing perception', once a gun is fired, it may attract monsters. But monsters are not only our enemies, the Steam Party guys also have to face them. We can use monsters to contain them, but our risks are also not small..."

Hearing this, Kay seemed to have figured something out, and slapped his thigh, "That's right, how could I not have thought of the aberrations!"

Now the enemy has a numerical advantage, but once those aberrant monsters in the dark participate, it will be a three-way melee.

The Steam Party's numerical advantage will instantly collapse, and instead, Suren and Kay's two-person combination, with fewer people and smaller targets, will be easier to adapt and move around.

.......

Time was tight, and reality didn't give the two of them much time to discuss the details.

Suren casually used the puppet-controlling steel wire to set up a "booby trap" on the ground he had walked on.

Then the two chose a channel entrance that could advance or retreat, and waited for the enemy.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a group of people rushed into the cave.

The gas lamp illuminated a few figures, but Suren didn't rush to act. His eyesight happened to be watching the two professionals, Kuntu and Sith, who were hiding in the shadows that the light couldn't reach.

Those guys were also very smart, knowing that Suren's marksmanship was amazing, they obviously expected that there might be an ambush, so they let ordinary gang members walk in front.

As long as Suren fired a shot and exposed his position, the initiative would immediately change hands.

Kuntu was also a veteran of the battlefield. He looked at the traces of movement left by some unknown monster on the ground, and guessed that there might be danger here, and reminded, "Everyone be careful, I always feel that there is something wrong with this cave."
