Squatted down and dug out the warhead from the dirt, and when he looked at it, it was an armor-piercing bullet.

The people in the River Valley Manor should be their own people, so this shot is just a warning, otherwise it will be aimed at the vital point. Thinking of this, Han Xiao took out a bronze coin from his arms, raised it and waved it, the snipers in the manor would definitely be able to see through the scope.

The coin was given to him by Ovanno before he set off, saying that it was a credential to identify his teammates.

After waiting for a minute or so, Han Xiao walked forward again, and this time no one shot at him, and he came to the gate of the River Valley Manor smoothly, and found that the defense had been modified here, and countless iron plate armor had been nailed to the outer wall, covering the inside of the manor tightly, and there were traces of resistance to the explosion on the steel plates.

The gate opened, Han Xiao walked in, and the layout of the River Valley Manor unfolded in front of his eyes, covering a wide area, which could be roughly divided into the inner layer and the outer layer, the outer layer was all kinds of fortifications, heavily armed mercenaries came and went, patrolling everywhere with guns, chatting loudly, rude and casual, not as taciturn as regular soldiers.

The inner floor is the central area, the fountain garden-style villa, which is enclosed by a black railing that distinguishes the inner and outer floors, through which he sees that there is no one in the villa and the garden, as if no one lives there.

"New here, it's a killer, right?"

A stout black man next to him stopped Han Xiao, this was the one who opened the door, Han Xiao looked at his complexion, and felt that this big black man was the best candidate to blow up the bunker at night, provided that he ran naked.

The black man didn't care about Han Xiao's reaction, turned on the walkie-talkie, and shouted in a broken voice: "Chen Li, there's a new killer, hurry up and pick someone up." ”

"Wait for Lao Tzu, I'll go over." There was a swearing voice over the intercom.

The yellow mercenary named Chen Li quickly came to the gate, first gave the middle finger to the black man, then looked at Han Xiao and looked up and down, "Follow me." ”

Following Chen Li to the southeast of the River Valley Manor, Han Xiao briefly learned from Chen Li about the defensive layout of the River Valley Manor, which was divided into three sides, facing the river in the west, and the attackers might attack on a yacht, but it was the target on the river so it was the most relaxed.

The other two sides are southeast and northeast, and the overall defensive layout is a triangle. Chen Li is the person in charge of the mercenaries in the southeast.

"What type of killer are you?" Chen Li asked.

"Sniper."

"That's good, we need long-range attackers, last time there was a killer who could only sneak attack and assassinate at close range, and it couldn't be of any use."

Han Xiao glanced back at the central villa, asked three key questions in his heart, and said, "Who is the target of our protection?" How long are you going to defend here? Who are the enemies? ”

Perhaps every newcomer will ask these questions, and Chen Li replied fluently: "The boss didn't say how long he would hold on, anyway, if he really can't stand it, Lao Tzu will withdraw immediately, no matter how much money he gives, I won't be cannon fodder." It is not clear who the enemy is, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night, sometimes every few days, and there is always a steady stream of new enemies. ”

"As for the target we protect, hehe......" Chen Li suddenly sneered, "I heard that the target is hiding in the villa, but it never appeared, the mission prohibits us from entering the villa to check, maybe there is no one in the villa, we are guarding an empty shell...... Hmph, it doesn't matter what the employer's intentions are, just give money. ”

The uninhabited villa, the protection target that never appeared, the vague conscription order, and the unknown source of the enemy, these factors were all linked, making Han Xiao feel indescribably weird, and he always felt that there was a fog shrouded in it.

"By the way, what level of killer are you, dark or ghost?" Chen Li asked casually.

"Mr. Black, Scorpion."

Chen Li suddenly turned his head with a surprised expression, "Scorpion level? How did you come here? Only those above the dark level will receive a conscription order, you are not qualified, right? ”

"It's all here, it doesn't matter what level it is." Han Xiao had no intention of explaining to a mercenary leader, in the words of the forced king...... I have acted all my life, so why should I explain it to you! It's just one word, pretend!

"Although it's a scorpion-level, since it's a sniper, it's going to be used, anyway, as long as you can hit people with a sniper rifle."

Chen Li frowned, pointed into the distance, and said, "Have you seen the three bunkers, you go to the middle one, and the Poison Bee Brotherhood will arrange for you." ”

Following Chen Li's fingers, the three pillboxes were just located at the intersection of the southeast and northeast defense lines, the apex of the triangular defense area, which just allowed the sniper to have the best shooting vision and strike range. However, the disadvantage is that it is too conspicuous, if the enemy attacks, the first one will have to kill the sniper, fortunately, there are many machine guns and howitzers set up on the outer wall next to the pillbox, and the defense is the heaviest.

Han Xiao had no objection, before triggering the panel task, he had an indifferent mentality.

Walking into the bunker in the middle, walking up the stairs to the top floor of the bunker (that is, the sniper position), I found that there were two people here, holding a sniper rifle in their arms, sitting against the wall and pretending to sleep, hearing Han Xiao's footsteps, they all opened their eyes and looked over, from the cold temperament of these two people, they knew that they were both killers.

One is tall and one is short, and they look somewhat similar, which is the poisonous bee brother that Chen Li said.

"New here?" The tall man said lightly, "Codename, rank, ability." ”

Han Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Black, scorpion-level, sniper." ”

"What is a scorpion-level newcomer doing here?" The tall man frowned, and said impatiently: "You go to the fortress on the left, as a sniper deputy, responsible for solving some of the fish that we let go, you can do this kind of trivial thing, right?" ”

"Okay." Han Xiao nodded.

The short man only glanced at him when he entered the door, and then closed his eyes and continued to rest, as if he was too lazy to talk to him, and looked quite arrogant.

In just ten minutes after entering the manor, Han Xiao had already changed three locations, and he had no choice but to go to the pillbox on the left, which was the area he was responsible for, which was equivalent to fighting for the poisonous bee brothers.

There was already a person in the left bunker, a bearded killer, looking Han Xiao up and down, and after Han Xiao finished introducing himself, he got straight to the point, "Scorpion-level?" Then you are in charge of the left, and I am in charge of the right. ”

The left side has the narrowest field of vision, the lightest task, and the bearded man doesn't trust his ability, human nature, Han Xiao has no other ideas, just take charge of his own area.

[You trigger Chain Quest [Conscription Order (Protection)]]

[Mission Description: "First, don't inquire about the identity of the protection target; Second, don't leave your post; Third, don't let the enemy storm the manor; Fourth, try to be useful. ”]

[First Ring Reward: 20,000 XP]

[Other mission failures: 1. Unauthorized entry into the villa area. ]

[2. Leave the manor for more than 120 minutes.] ]

"Chain quests? Interesting. Han Xiao's heart moved.

The chain task is also to run the ring, complete a task requirement, in order to know the next requirement, the difficulty and reward will be higher and higher, do all the rings can get additional rewards, generally speaking, the chain task will be more cumbersome.

"Finish the first ring first and see how the follow-up rewards are, if it doesn't work, you can withdraw it." Han Xiao said secretly, he didn't have the idea that he had to complete the task, and there was no need to do it if the rewards were rich.

After a few hours of fooling around in Riverdale Manor, he figured out the staffing, the mercenaries with all kinds of heavy firepower and vehicles, some superpowers, and mechanics repairing equipment, providing ammunition, and repairing fortifications, and the killers were higher-end combat forces.

From the small talk, I learned that this group of people had been here for more than ten days, and powerful characters had emerged, such as the Poisonous Bee Brothers, Chen Li, and some other name codenames, Volcano, Moonlight, and so on.

……

It was dark, and at night in the woods, the leaves were blown by the night breeze, the creeping of the river, and everything was peaceful.

The silence was shattered by the rapidly approaching sound of engines.

"Buzz—"

Han Xiao could see from the sniper hole in the bunker that beams of headlight appeared in the woods in the distance, and they were rapidly approaching. The mercenaries in the manor began to shout loudly, and they all returned to their posts to wait, and the dense footsteps were like fried beans.

Reaching out and pulling the bolt, there was a smooth and crisp sound, and Han Xiao also began to adjust his state.

"The first wave is coming."
