Chapter 9: Stealth
[Name:T1 body armor]
[Type: Armor]
[Quality: Average]
[Defense: 1, average defense against bullets; 2. Weak defense against cold weapons]
[Attributes: None]
[Special Effect: None]
[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]
[Note: This is a police body armor, but don't really think that by wearing it, you can ignore bullets!] 】
The moment he picked up the body armor, the introduction of [T1 body armor] appeared in front of Qin Ran's eyes, and after a quick glance, Qin Ran put the body armor on his body without hesitation.
Compared with the jacket that only has the name of "War Civilian Costume", but does not have the slightest defensive power, the [T1] body armor is undoubtedly much better.
It is capable of both shielding from bullets and defending against melee combat.
Even if the latter was weaker, it gave Qin Ran more confidence to complete the plan in front of him.
Qin Ran pursed his lips, controlled his breathing, and quietly erased towards the second target.
This target did not find the death of a companion.
Although the two are very close.
Like the gun-wielding thug who was killed by Qin Ran before, the gun-wielding thug in front of him was also so careless, looking around casually with his eyes.
The advent of the crisis was not noticed at all.
Qin Ran did not ambush again, but approached from behind the other party.
When there were only two steps left in the opponent's distance, one pounced forward, covering the opponent's mouth with his left hand, so that the opponent could not make a sound, and the dagger in his right hand swept the opponent's throat.
In fact, Qin Ran's hands were almost in no particular order.
When the other party wanted to call, or even want to bite Qin Ran's left hand, the dagger in Qin Ran's right hand had already cut the other party's throat.
Blood gushed out, and after a few moments, the other party did not move.
[Assassination: Vital attack, dealing 100 HP damage to the opponent (50 cold weapon (dagger) (base) x2), and the opponent dies ......]
Just like before.
Qin Ran dragged the other party's corpse into the ruins and searched for the loot.
However, he didn't take off the opponent's [T1 body armor], but only took the [M1905] full of bullets.
If he could wear two pieces of body armor, Qin Ran naturally wouldn't mind.
But it's a pity that just wearing a [T1 body armor] made him feel sluggish between running, and if he wore another one, his agility would inevitably be affected.
The situation in front of him must not allow Qin Ran's speed to be affected too much.
Because, that would only make Qin Ran a live target.
Even a live target with high defense will still end up being beaten into a hornet's nest!
"The second one!"
Qin Ran, who was silently thinking in his heart, walked from the ruins.
After moving forward for about ten meters, Qin Ran stood in the shadows, poked his head out slightly, and looked at his third target.
Unlike the first two targets, who walked among the ruins, the third target stood on top of a ruin more than a meter high composed of rubble and rotten wood, although it was also careless, but it made Qin Ran a little unable to start.
Because, because of the height, if Qin Ran passed from the front, even if there were some ruins blocking it, it would fall in the other party's field of vision.
Qin Ran was not confident enough to ignore the other party because he easily killed the other party's two people.
After all, the firearm in the opponent's hand is definitely not an ornament.
As for bypassing from behind?
Qin Ran looked at the other party's completely irregular glances, and resolutely gave up this idea.
He didn't want to be found by the other party after a halfway detour.
"Give up on this goal for now!"
The next moment, Qin Ran made a decision.
Although he still has [M1905] and has plenty of bullets.
But Qin Ran didn't want to use firearms so early.
Not only because the other party is wearing body armor, but with his marksmanship, it is difficult to hit vital points such as the head without body armor protection.
Also because, as soon as the gun goes off, his location will be revealed!
And now that there are seven people in the other party's group, and there are still five gun-wielding thugs alive, even if he and Colleen have arranged a response plan in advance, Qin Ran doesn't want to be two against five.
"At least two more to kill!"
With such an idea, Qin Ran began a detour.
In order not to be discovered by the gun-wielding thugs standing on top of the ruins, Qin Ran's detour this time was quite far, first retreating to the position where he killed the first target, and then starting a detour.
Ten minutes later, when Qin Ran stopped, he had already come behind the gun-wielding thugs.
Relying on his good eyesight, Qin Ran put the five targets into his eyes and quickly locked on the third target.
This target was the one on the far left of Qin Ran's vision among the five people.
Compared with the two Qin Ran killed before, this gun-wielding thug is even more casual!
At least, the previous two gun-wielding thugs were still pretending to search, and this gun-wielding thug squatted in a place where other thugs couldn't see, lit a cigarette, and just swallowed the clouds.
The other party's graceful appearance made Qin Ran regard the other party as the next target the moment he saw the other party.
Qin Ran cautiously approached the blind corner of the other party's line of sight.
Although the other party was completely attracted by the cigarette in his hand, this did not prevent Qin Ran from being cautious.
Because, Qin Ran knew that there was something called 'accident' in the world.
And there is no good way to make accidents less common.
It can only be careful and careful.
In such caution, the distance between Qin Ran and the other party shrank step by step.
When he was less than two meters away from the other party, the other party still didn't notice Qin Ran, and it wasn't until the dagger in Qin Ran's right hand approached that the other party noticed that something was wrong.
Still, it's clear that it's too late!
Qin Ran ignored the burning of the cigarette, his left hand covered the other party's mouth, and the right hand holding the dagger pulled back violently.
Burst!
It was the same as the previous two targets, and the other party whose neck was cut fell to the ground and died.
[Cautery: Opponent deals 1 HP damage to you]
[Assassination: Vital attack, dealing 100 HP damage to the opponent (50 cold weapon (dagger) (base) x2), and the opponent dies ......]
[Three times silently approaching the target of the attack, not being discovered, comprehending the skill: stealth]
[Name: Stealth (Basic)]
[Attribute-related: Agile]
【Skill Category: Support】
[Effect: Make better use of shadows, make it difficult for others to find, and increase concealment by 10%]
[Consumption: Stamina]
【Learning Condition: Agile F】
[Note: You're just good at hiding and not really stealth!] 】
And at the moment when the opponent falls to the ground, the system gives the comprehension skill [Stealth (Basic)].
Suddenly, a flurry of knowledge appeared in Qin Ran's mind.
Qin Ran, who has had two skill experiences, is already familiar with it.
In an instant, after the knowledge transmission was completed, Qin Ran's body was able to apply the knowledge he had just gained in his mind quite freely.
"Three times?"
Qin Ran searched for the corpse in front of him while checking the previous system prompt.
The same 'three' number as when comprehending [Cold Weapon (Dagger) (Basic)] caught Qin Ran's attention.
"In the newbie dungeon, as long as it is triggered three times, you can get the corresponding skill?"
Qin Ran guessed.
However, soon, Qin Ran came back to his senses.
He remembered what he was supposed to do at the moment, not stop and think about it.
There will be time later!
And now?
Qin Ran looked at the remaining four targets, and the knowledge about stealth in his mind resurfaced again.
Then, Qin Ran's body quietly walked into the shadows on the side, and through the shadows formed by the moonlight, walls, and ruins, he approached the next target.
If Qin Ran's previous speed of approaching the target was crawling, then at this time, it evolved into normal walking.
Moreover, it is more subtle and silent.
It's like the best thief on the street at night.
Or rather...... Assassin.
The fourth!
The fifth!
In front of Qin Ran, who had [Stealth (Foundation)], the two gun-wielding thugs were much more vigilant than the previous three gun-wielding thugs, but the result still did not change: they were all cut by Qin Ran from behind!
It was only then that Hook the Jackal noticed that something was wrong.
A group of seven people searched through the ruins, and if they couldn't see one or two people, it was normal, but if most people couldn't see it, even idiots should notice that something was wrong.
Hook the Jackal is not an idiot, otherwise he wouldn't be the Vulture's right-hand man.
However, the contempt in his heart made him no different from an idiot.
Even...... More idiots than idiots!
He looked left and right, and when he didn't find any more of his men, he couldn't help but shout, "Tony, Jack, Phil Lou...... What are you doing, come out quickly! ”
Shouting, Hook clenched his gun tightly.
There was no response for a long time, and suddenly, Hook looked at the ruins around him, which had long been familiar, and became extremely strange at this moment.
The shadows of the moonlight and the ruins, like the gaze of the devil, made a little cold sweat begin to break out on the back of Hook the Jackal.
When the night breeze blew, Hook the Jackal couldn't help but shudder.
"Hook's head!"
The sudden shout made the 'jackal' Hook's whole body tremble, and when he found out that it was his little brother, 'Jackal' Hook was instantly furious.
"You're a ......"
Bang!
Before the curse could be fully heard, a gunshot rang out.
The third target, which was deliberately avoided by Qin Ran, fell in response.
However, the other party, who had body armor, did not die!
On the contrary, after falling to the ground, the opponent turned around and shot wildly in the direction of the gunshot.
And the 'jackal' Hook, who witnessed the whole process, aimed at the place where the gunfire was lit and pulled the trigger again and again.
Bang bang bang!
For a moment, the sound of gunfire rang out.
