Chapter 22: The Second Battle
After the sharp pain lasted for a second, Qin Ran felt that the left half of his body was completely unconscious.
He looked down at where he had been shot—
It was near the lower abdomen, a bullet embedded in the body armor, and blood oozed from it!
Qin Ran clearly knew that if it weren't for the body armor as a buffer, his lower abdomen at the moment would have already opened a huge opening, the kind that was transparent from front to back.
However, even with body armor as a cushion, he was not lightly injured.
[Shooting: The opponent deals you 80 HP damage, has armor, is immune to 40 damage, actually deals 40 damage, and falls into a state of moderate damage......]
[Moderate Injury: Strength, Agility, Perception Decreased by 1 level]
[Withstand excessive attack power, and the quality of T1 body armor decreases!] 】
Obviously, the bullets fired by assault rifles are far more than ordinary pistols, and the immunity effect of body armor has dropped by about 5 points.
Not only that, but the quality of [T1 body armor] has also been reduced from ordinary to damaged.
What's more, Qin Ran's health dropped directly from 95 to 55, losing nearly half, and he also fell into the special state of [Moderate Injury].
Looking at the strength and agility of changing from F-level to F-level and the perception of changing from F+ to F, Qin Ran didn't have a tooth.
Compared with the previous abrasions, this attack really made him suffer.
The only fortunate thing is that the data-based body makes him clearly know that he is still far from death, even if he is already in pain at the moment, and his attributes are reduced.
Gritting his teeth, Qin Ran covered his wounds, picked up the fallen 'sniper rifle', and entered the state of [stealth] again.
Once again, Qin Ran thanked this dense area of ruins for giving him enough space to dodge bullets and enough time to escape from the spot.
When Mark took the remaining three men down to Qin Ran's original location, Qin Ran had already disappeared without a trace.
"Damn, if you could use a bazooka, a grenade, or even a grenade, this guy would have died a long time ago!"
Handel, who served as the 'bait', couldn't help but vent his dissatisfaction when he looked at the empty place.
"This is the Major's order!"
Hank replied to his men.
The tone is tough and there is no explanation.
Because, Hank has no way to explain more.
Although these soldiers are also Saruka's henchmen, their status is still quite different from Hank's.
At least, Hank knows what their real purpose is!
It was to bring back the bag of jewelry, not to kill Qin Ran.
Even if Qin Ran is killed, if you lose that bag of jewelry, the mission will be a failure!
And in the face of mission losers, Hank is well aware of Saruka's methods.
Therefore, even if Qin Ran showed a very flexible dodge and did not look like he was carrying additional items, Hank did not dare to order the use of weapons such as bazookas, grenades, and grenades.
Because, Hank didn't know how many gems he was looking for - Saruka would never tell anyone else, not even a henchman like Hank.
So, this puts Hank in an absolute passivity.
Can you take it with you?
Or can't take it with you?
If it's the latter, everything doesn't matter, as long as you keep searching, there will always be a time to find it, but what about the former?
Could he have been able to explain to Saruka that everything he was looking for had been blown away because of an explosion?
If he really dared to say that, Hank could guarantee that Saruka would definitely shoot him with one shot!
Therefore, even in the face of the successive losses of his men, Hank did not order the use of more powerful weapons.
"He was shot!"
A searching rebel soldier found blood on the ground.
Suddenly, the eyes of the rebel soldiers, including Hank, lit up.
"Keep up!"
Hank gave the order directly.
……
Qin Ran hid under a rubble made of concrete walls and collapsed wood, and if it weren't for the sunlight leaking through the cracks, it would have been a gloomy cave at all.
Qin Ran, who had entered here, quickened his pace, he knew that there was not much time left for him.
Even though he plugged the wound with an inner liner, the blood kept flowing out and dripping to the ground.
Perhaps the average person will ignore it.
However, these rebel soldiers will not.
They have a sensitivity to blood that ordinary people can't imagine.
Following these bloodstains, it was only a matter of time before these rebel soldiers caught up with him.
And during this time, Qin Ran had to return his state to a normal level.
At the very least, the special state of [Moderate Injury] should be eliminated.
Otherwise, this battle would not have been fought.
The decrease in strength made Qin Ran feel the sudden weight of the 'sniper rifle' in his hand and the weight of the magazine on his body, and the decline in agility made Qin Ran feel sluggish and awkward in the [Stealth] state.
Needless to say, the skill [Dodge], which is closely related to agility, is also affected.
As for the decline in perception?
Qin Ran could clearly find that his eyesight and hearing had been affected to varying degrees.
It can be said that the decline of the three attributes almost made Qin Ran enter a semi-crippled state.
This goes far beyond the drop in health.
"Hope it works!"
Qin Ran took out a hidden can from the depths of the ruins - the truth that eggs are not put in one basket, Qin Ran understood when he was robbed of all the candy and snacks by several older children after a rare celebration in the welfare home, in order to ensure that his agility was not affected, before the war, Qin Ran hid the canned food and water in the backpack in the ruins.
And at this moment, he wants the rules of the underground game to be the same as the other games he touches: when you recover your life, you can recover your injuries!
Canned food, replenishes 25% health and 50 stamina in one minute.
For Qin Ran, who has 100 HP, this is 25 HP.
Enough to restore his health from 55 to 80.
【Edible canned food ......】
【Hunger Exemption Attribute ......】
[Increases HP by 25 in 1 minute......]
Opening the can, Qin Ran began to gobble it up, and then waited quietly.
Then, Qin Ran's health slowly increased, and when it reached 60 points, a prompt appeared.
[Over 60% HP, Moderate Injuries Disappear ......]
[Current HP is 80, Minor Damage Status ......]
[Minor injury state: Don't touch your wounds, you won't have an impact!] 】
Although the wound had not healed in the true sense of the word, and the blood was still oozing, after Qin Ran's observation, the wound had changed greatly, and it was not as hideous as it seemed at first.
Also, the pain is greatly reduced.
Of course, the most important thing is the disappearance of [Moderate Injuries].
This made Qin Ran sigh intently.
If this special state doesn't disappear, he can be said to be waiting for death!
Now, though?
Qin Ran picked up the assembled 'sniper rifle' again, eliminating the influence of the special state, and the familiar feeling returned to his body again.
……
Hank and his three men traced the trail of blood to the ruins in front of him.
Looking at the ruins of concrete walls and collapsed wood, Hank raised his hand, and immediately, Handel stepped forward, leaning against a concrete wall, shouting without even probing his head.
"Come out!"
"You're surrounded!"
"If you give up resistance, we will spare your life!"
Although he was full of resentment towards Qin Ran, the marksmanship that Qin Ran had shown before made Handel remember it vividly.
He didn't want to lose his life because of carelessness.
Handel's voice was loud, not to mention the ruins in front of him, he could hear it clearly from more than ten meters away.
However, there was no movement in the ruins.
Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, Hank and the four confirmed that Qin Ran was inside, and the non-reply at this time naturally meant that they were going to resist stubbornly.
"Heavy man, if you don't want to be shot by me afterwards, you can get me here in two minutes!"
Hank spoke over the radio.
The machine gunner, naturally, was dead.
However, according to the rules of the battlefield, if the Heavy dies, the secondary shooter automatically replaces him as the Heavy.
Previously, the automatic machine gunner did not do well.
After his boss was killed in battle, he hid completely timidly.
Such behavior can be regarded as a deserter!
If it is placed in a military court, it is enough to shoot, and even, sometimes even a military court, the captain of this squad can make a decision.
Hank was naturally ready to shoot the other man.
However, it just didn't have time!
Now, Hank thinks he can give the other side a chance!
If the other party meets his requirements, he will not shoot the other party with his own hands, but will only send the other party to a military court!
And after that, naturally he didn't care about it.
He has fulfilled the promise he made to the other side: not to shoot the other person with his own hands.
"Good, good captain!"
A young voice came over the radio.
stammered slightly, showing that the other party was frightened at this time.
"Why did such a person come under Major Saruka? Is it a recruit? ”
The other party made Hank very dissatisfied, and his brows furrowed, but then Hank thought of a possibility.
Strong, tyrannical, but brave in battle, it was thanks to the latter that Saruka was able to become a major and command one of the most advanced battalions of the rebels.
Naturally, such a battalion is naturally facing. Politics. Prefecture. Army. The workhorse.
Losses are inevitable!
In order to maintain the integrity of the organization, it became necessary to recruit and replenish troops from other units.
The quality of soldiers in other units is uneven, especially the new recruits, which is even more worrying.
In fact, the other party joined his team before this mission and served as a machine gun co-shooter.
However, even so, with the guts of the other party, how could it be possible to enter Major Saruka's field of vision?
And join his ranks?
Puzzled, Hank shook his head, he couldn't figure out why Major Saruka did this.
But Hank, who was born in the military, didn't think much about it at all.
All he had to do was obey orders.
However, in the next moment, a sense of crisis suddenly rose in Hank's heart!
Without thinking about it, Hank jerked to the side.
Bang!
Gunfire rang out again.
