Chapter 15 Confrontation at Xiazhong Village

On this post-nuclear war Rabbit Star, flat roads were practically nonexistent, so the actual distance between two points was longer than the theoretical distance.

However, thirty kilometers wasn't much.

About half an hour later, Shui Shi Qiangxi and Chuan Yue Wei Wang had arrived at the entrance of Xiazhong Village with the Changmao Fortress army.

Needless to say, the villagers quickly sounded the alarm and set up their defenses...

If the four from Hell's Frontline might not have been bad people, this group looked like they were here to attack the village.

"Everyone... please wait here for a moment." When they were still hundreds of meters away from the village entrance, Shui Shi Qiangxi suddenly stopped the convoy, took out his sniper rifle from his bag, and aimed it at the village.

"Hmm?" Dudu Mo looked at the Earthling's weapon with a gloomy gaze and said, "You have... a sniper rifle?"

"That's right," Shui Shi Qiangxi replied without turning his head.

"I say..." Xixi Man said to Shui Shi Qiangxi with a disdainful tone, "You wouldn't be thinking of using that thing to snipe the villagers from a distance, would you?" He snorted. "Don't tell me, Qiū Qiū Qí was killed by you guys like that..."

"First of all, how Qiū Qiū Qí died is not important; secondly, I have no interest in shooting those villagers..." Shui Shi Qiangxi replied while looking through the scope at the village entrance. "The reason I took out the gun is... as we told you before, besides the four of us, there is another team from Earth, and they are now in this village..." He paused. "As far as I know, there is also a gun user in their team, so I have to be careful."

"Hmm... that's troublesome," Dudu Mo said thoughtfully after hearing this, "If those Earthlings you mentioned use guns to guard this village, it may be difficult for us to attack..."

He was right... on this planet where military equipment had returned to the era of cold weapons, guns were undoubtedly very tactically significant. Although the Changmao Six Heavenly Officials were practically invulnerable to knives and guns, their subordinates were not...

Don't look down on those cannon fodder; they were essential for occupying the village. Guarding prisoners, guarding intersections, reporting back to the city, transporting supplies, and many other trivial matters needed them. If they were all wiped out by ranged fire at the village entrance, then the next steps would be difficult.

"Of course... you don't have to worry too much..." Shui Shi Qiangxi quickly added, "I'm very confident in long-range sniping..." He was still searching for the enemy players and said to the NPCs beside him, "I think... they must have heard the alarm sounded by the villagers and are rushing to the village entrance. Heh..." His expression did not change, but a sneer escaped his throat. "As soon as they show up, I will..."

Bang—

A gunshot interrupted him.

Arriving at the same time as the gunshot was a bullet...

This bullet... passed through the scope of the sniper rifle in Shui Shi Qiangxi's hand, hit Shui Shi Qiangxi's pupil, shattered his eyeball, pierced through his head, and finally... flew out of the back of his head, scattering a splash of blood mixed with brain matter.

In that instant, everyone in the convoy, and every audience member watching the competition... was stunned, speechless and frozen in place.

"Get down!" Two seconds later, Chuan Yue Wei Wang, also a player, was the first to react. He immediately shouted and ducked behind a motorcycle.

The grunts from Changmao Fortress basically hadn't understood what had just happened. They only knew that a living person had been blown away in the blink of an eye... In extreme shock and fear, they did as Chuan Yue Wei Wang told them to without thinking.

Only Xixi Man and Dudu Mo ignored Chuan Yue Wei Wang. After all, they were Boss-level NPCs. Even though they were startled by this sudden scene, they wouldn't be caught off guard.

"Tch... he was taken out while talking big..." Dudu Mo's face was even gloomier, and he looked at Shui Shi Qiangxi's corpse and said, "How pathetic..."

"Hahaha..." Xixi Man laughed loudly, "This is getting more and more interesting."

As the two (rabbits) spoke, a figure suddenly leaped nimbly from the protective wall of Xiazhong Village and strode forward.

A dozen seconds later, the person stood in front of them.

"Leave the Earthling behind, and you can leave." Li Ruoyu looked at the forty-odd NPCs and one player in front of her with an icy expression and briefly stated her request.

"Heh... is she one of the 'other Earthlings' you mentioned?" Xixi Man did not respond to Ruoyu, but turned to look at Chuan Yue Wei Wang and asked with a smile.

"Ah... that's right," Chuan Yue Wei Wang replied, still watching his surroundings warily, guarding against bullets that might come from anywhere.

At this time, Dudu Mo asked Li Ruoyu a question: "Did you fire that shot just now?"

"No," Ruoyu replied, "The person who fired the shot... is still in the village." After saying this, she paused for two seconds and added, "Except for me, whoever approaches the village will be shot dead."

"Hahahahaha..." Xixi Man laughed even more happily, "You speak as if we're afraid of you..."

"I've said everything I need to say." As Ruoyu spoke, her right hand had already gripped the hilt of her sword. "You... have two choices..." She issued the final ultimatum directly, "One, leave the Earthling behind, and then leave." After a slight pause, she said, "Two... die."

The moment the word "die" left her mouth, a tangible killing intent bloomed from Ruoyu as its center, spreading in all directions.

In the next second, the smile on Xixi Man's face disappeared, and Dudu Mo jumped off the motorcycle and adopted a fighting stance. As for the dozens of grunts... they all instinctively retreated, trembling all over.

"【Si Yu Ruo Li】... right?" At this moment, Chuan Yue Wei Wang walked out from behind the cover and looked at Ruoyu. "I don't know where you, a casual player, got your confidence from..." As he spoke, he had already taken out his weapon – also a long sword. "Do you really think... that you alone can defeat me... and all the NPCs here?"

Hearing these words, Ruoyu's cold expression did not change in the slightest. She calmly replied with four words: "More than enough."
