Chapter 30: Empathy

Qin Ran didn't know who was arranging the defense of the barracks.

It could be Saruka, or it could be someone else.

However, no matter who it is, the other side is not a false person, and the watchtower, the machine-gun fire network, and the patrol team are enough to explain everything.

Even the rebel soldiers on guard had to reduce some of their personnel allocation because of the drastic reduction in personnel.

However, where there should be defense, there is always someone to guard it.

Except for the clearing in front of you.

Qin Ran didn't believe that a person who had made the entire camp's defense watertight would make a mistake in this one place.

The only explanation: there are traps here!

And landmines are undoubtedly the most perfect choice.

It can not only cause great damage, but also remind the soldiers in the barracks.

It's a win-win-win situation.

"Hope it works!"

Qin Ran, who was looking at the open space in front of him, thought like this.

The next moment, he activated the skill [Tracking].

In an instant, the world in Qin Ran's eyes became different.

White, red, and black were intertwined, and then, rows of white footprints appeared in Qin Ran's eyes.

These white footprints, very light in color, seem to be a layer of ash, ready to be blown away by the wind.

Qin Ran knew that this was because it had been too long.

Time, the most terrible thing, is that it can unconsciously turn anything profound into a dull and unremarkable thing, and then forget and disappear.

Fortunately, Qin Ran came at the right time.

If it takes a few more days, I'm afraid nothing will be discovered.

And even more fortunately, Qin Ran followed the footprints left behind and found a safe path.

Cautiously, Qin Ran stepped on these footprints and walked forward.

When he came to the bottom of the wall, his forehead was covered with sweat.

Walking in a minefield, bearing the fear of explosions, this is undoubtedly a postgraduate examination for Qin Ran's psychology.

It's more about the physical exertion of the skill [Tracking].

In a short period of time, the journey of more than ten meters made Qin Ran reach 150 physical strength as his attribute physique increased, which had dropped by more than half.

"Active skills are so physically draining!"

Glancing at his physical strength, Qin Ran gasped softly.

When his physical strength was full again, Qin Ran bent his legs, then jumped upwards suddenly, and his hands climbed on the wall, and then with the strength of his two arms, Qin Ran went up the wall with his whole body.

Qin Ran, who jumped off the wall quickly and carefully, melted into the shadows again with a roll.

A series of actions, Qin Ran completed it in one go.

Except for the last one that melted into the shadows, which relied on the skill [Stealth], the rest were Qin Ran's strengthened physical fitness.

Although it is only a small level from F → F+, Qin Ran is well aware of the changes.

His strength is greater, his speed is faster, and his physical strength has obviously improved.

If Qin Ran was still able to complete such an action when he first entered the game, but if he wanted to do it in one go, he didn't have to think about it at all.

Being able to finish it relatively neatly, Qin Ran should be overjoyed.

"It's just F+, but what if it's more advanced?"

Qin Ran guessed, and an excitement involuntarily rose in his heart.

As long as he continues, he will soon be able to advance to more advanced attributes.

However, Qin Ran quickly reacted, and the environment he was in forced him to calm down.

Qin Ran, who was standing in the shadows, did not follow the established route towards the three-story building that should have been the school's teaching building, but at this moment, it had become a barracks office and warehouse.

The light and shadow of the searchlight paraded back and forth across the playground.

Especially those corners and hidden places, they are taken care of again and again.

This made Qin Ran's speed not fast.

Every few steps, you have to stop and wait for a new opportunity.

At the same time, Qin Ran was once again glad that he had chosen such a time when the guards were empty.

Of the three searchlights that were originally on the parade, only two were functioning properly.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had time to wait for a new opportunity, and he would have been spotted by another searchlight.

And, of course, those patrolling rebel soldiers.

Although the number of people has decreased, the role has not decreased in the slightest.

Even, in Qin Ran's eyes, these patrolling rebel soldiers were what he needed to watch out for the most.

Because people not only have eyes, but also ears and noses.

Perhaps the shadows obscured his form.

But the sound couldn't be hidden, so Qin Ran tried to be slight and silent every step he took.

In this way, Qin Ran's speed was naturally not much faster.

It took a full ten minutes for Qin Ran to come from the wall to the three-story building guarded by two rebel soldiers.

Without alarming the two guards, Qin Ran had already chosen a place to enter—

A window on the second floor.

The reason for choosing this place, in addition to being close to Qin Ran and not having to pass through the field of vision of the two rebel soldiers, is because the glass of this window has already been broken, allowing Qin Ran to pass through safely.

Just like the rabbit before the rabbit fell and fell, Qin Ran tiptoed onto the windowsill on the first floor, and then climbed onto the eaves between the second and first floors, and used his hands and feet to get into the window.

As with the first floor, there is no one here.

Except for a blackboard, there is a messy pile of tables and chairs.

Qin Ran couldn't confirm what exactly happened here in the first place, but the dried blood stains on the ground that could be discerned even without [tracking] made Qin Ran have some guesses.

The blood must have been extremely heavy at first.

Otherwise, such a large area would not have been formed.

And this means that it is definitely not the blood of one person!

It takes the blood of dozens of people to form!

"Damn the rebels!"

Anger appeared in Qin Ran's eyes.

War will make you die like a dog.

Qin Ran would not deny such words.

But in the same way, Qin Ran would not deny his anger at the moment.

Looking at the table and chair, which was only two-thirds the size of a normal table and chair, Qin Ran couldn't imagine what a group of simple children looked like when they faced the wolf-like rebels: helpless and afraid.

It seems that the sound of gunfire that once resounded in the area was heard.

It seems that I have seen the passing of an immature life in front of me.

Those children, just like him, have too many expectations and fantasies about life.

But unlike him, those children were torn apart before they could realize and touch the most beautiful things.

Not even a single chance was left.

Such a feeling......

It made Qin Ran's chest feel stuffy.

Let his breath be short.

made Qin Ran feel the anger he hadn't had for a long time.

A person who is usually calm, once anger really rises, is not so easy to be quelled.

Qin Ran wanted to do something to vent and calm down.

And, as it happens, he really seems to be able to do something!

Making a living too early made Qin Ran unable to believe in pure kindness and kindness.

But it will not become evil or brutal.

Because, he was helped.

This gave him a bottom line to stick to.

Therefore, he is willing to help an innocent person within the scope of his ability.

Just...... Just within the limits of ability!

Glancing at the black, dried blood again, Qin Ran turned around and left the classroom, he walked out of the open door, and quickly confirmed his destination.

It's so easy to identify a place guarded by rebel soldiers.

You must know that except for the two guards at the door, in the entire building, Qin Ran only saw this rebel soldier.

The opposing guard's guard is naturally the top priority!

Pulling out the dagger, Qin Ran approached the other party lightly.

The hallway is a bit narrow, and there is only a dim light on the entire floor.

But this did not affect Qin Ran's performance in the slightest.

On the contrary, [Stealth] + [Cold Weapon. Dagger], let Qin Ran be like a fish in water in such an environment.

Like a predatory cheetah, Qin Ran pounced on the rebel soldiers guarding the guard, and before the other party could react, his powerful palm covered the opponent's mouth, and the dagger in his hand slashed the opponent's throat with a wave

[Assassination: Vital attack, dealing 100 HP damage to the opponent (50 cold weapon (dagger) (base) x2), and the opponent dies ......]

Confirming the other party's death, Qin Ran glanced at the locked door and immediately searched for the other party's body.

In the next second, Qin Ran had a harvest.

A bunch of keys were dragged off the other party's belt by Qin Ran.

【Name:Warehouse Key】

【Type: Key】

[Special Effect: None]

[Can I bring out this copy: No]

[Note: If you can pick the lock, you don't need it at all!] 】

Kaba!

The huge lock, with the twist of the key, opened straight open.

Qin Ran pushed open the door, and immediately boxes appeared in front of his eyes.

Can't wait, Qin Ran walked to a box, smashed the lock on it with a dagger, and lifted the lid of the box.

With a faint light in the corridor, Qin Ran saw the items in the box.

Bazooka!

……

Raising his hand to touch it, the information of the item appeared in front of Qin Ran's eyes.

However, it is a pity that Qin Ran does not have the skill [Gunpowder Weapon. Heavy Weapons (Basic).

Although it is possible to use a powerful weapon with immediate attack power, it cannot handle it as easily as a light firearm.

His gaze stayed for a moment again, Qin Ran turned around and smashed open another lock and opened the next box.

……

Qin Ran's eyes lit up, this was a weapon that he could use with complete ease,

However, this did not make Qin Ran stop smashing the lock and opening the box.

That's not enough!

He needs more!
