Su suddenly frowned, catching the slightest faint but unusual tremor of the ground. He gathered the bullets and tools with incredible speed, and copied the rifle in his hand, and with a flash of his right hand, he had already loaded a modified cartridge. Then he flashed to the wall in a few steps and looked out through a gap in the wall. While doing all this, Sue did not make any sound at all, except for the metal impact of the rifle load.

At this time, Sue had no sights on his rifle at all. That old-fashioned optical sight was completely useless to Su, who had reached the third level of vision enhancement. The reason why this thing is still kept is only to confuse the people of the settlement or base.

Su narrowed his eyes slightly to block out the reflection of his eyes, and looked out cautiously. He himself is good at shooting from a distance, and of course knows what will reveal his whereabouts.

A few kilometers away, you can see billowing smoke and dust, and it looks like a convoy. And the shock from the ground can be judged by the fact that there should be at least one combat vehicle in the convoy. Looking at the speed of the smoke and dust from a distance, the convoy was not moving fast, only about 20 kilometers.

Looking at the direction of the convoy, it is the N11 base.

Su's heart moved, and he sat quietly for a few minutes, and finally slowly stood up, hunched over, and ran towards the N11 base at a constant speed of 25 kilometers.

Despite not being friends with the residents of Base N11, Sue decided to go over and have a look. At least the N11 base gave him a warm feeling, somewhat akin to a "home" feeling. This had never happened before, so even though Sue knew from the time he entered the base that N11's independence would not last, he still had to go over and take a look.

With the ability to process water, and possibly even a hidden water source, the N11 base is the largest piece of fat in the region. There is no one who would not be tempted by the N11 base. The N11 base will either be wiped out or attached to a more powerful force like Payne Corporation in order to survive. After all, Turner's twenty men alone could not defend the independence of a base capable of treating clean water.

Sue arrived on the periphery of the N11 base almost simultaneously with the convoy. Along the way, he already knew the composition of the convoy.

The convoy was one in front of the other and one behind the other, each with an old chariot from the old era. In the center are three trucks crammed with soldiers, and the most striking is a wheeled armored command vehicle.

The convoy was well targeted, and as soon as it reached its destination, two tanks drove to the front, blocking the exit from the N11 base. More than 100 soldiers on three trucks laid a second line of defense behind the tanks. Although this group of soldiers did not have first-order abilities like Turner's team, and they were not as well-equipped as Turner's team, they were five times as numerous and two tanks could completely overwhelm the N11 base.

Several more fighters jumped out of the armored command vehicle, and the dark camouflage uniforms, new-age automatic rifles, and vigorous movements distinguished them from ordinary fighters.

Su Pupils, who were hidden a kilometer away, narrowed slightly, these warriors all possessed second-order abilities, and there were two third-order warriors among them! Seeing the sophisticated sniper rifle in the hand of one of the third-order warriors, Su hid it more carefully.

The fighters in front had already begun to shout through loudspeakers to persuade them to surrender, while several special operators cautiously entered the cave. At this time, the roof of the command car opened, and the two men in the commander's costume stood up from the car and looked at the hill in front of them that hid the N11 base.

"Listen to the people inside! This is the Oxserland Corporation's direct guard! Now this base will be taken over by the Roxerland Corporation, and you will have three minutes to open the base gates and come out and surrender, and the base facilities must be intact! Otherwise, you will be responsible for all the consequences! ”

While the loudspeaker's repetitive, monotonous but real threat echoed through the air, a dense and muffled sound of gunfire rang out in the cave. Although far away, Su immediately made out that it was the sound of gunfire from the base's automated defense platform. Several of the special operators then withdrew from the cave in some confusion, and when they came out, there were two fewer people than when they entered, but the package they were carrying was missing.

After a few moments, there was a loud bang, and a thick smoke with countless gravel erupted from the cave, and then the mountain showed cracks all over the place, and the roar continued, and finally almost half of the hillside was blown away by a powerful explosion!

The scattered rubble kept falling, striking on the tank shell, and on the fighters who had long been lying on the ground. Roxserland's fighters were armed with steel helmets and bulletproof vests, so almost no one was injured. In the rain of stones, although the command vehicle was shaken and flew half a meter high, the two commanders on the vehicle stood straight, as if they were nailed to the car.

After the hillside was completely lifted, the gate of the N11 base was revealed, and the automatic defense weapon platform outside the door was long gone, and the gear-shaped gate overturned inward, and the tractor was also exposed. All it takes is one more blast, or a few direct-aim rounds from the tank, and the base gate will be open. With the sturdiness and structure of the base gate, although such an explosion is powerful, it is not enough to destroy the gate so completely, but somehow, the gate of the base is broken.

That's when the unexpected happened. The violent tremors were transmitted to a kilometer away, directly causing a row of abandoned two-story buildings to collapse, and Su, who was lying on the roof, had to jump out and fall gently to the ground.

As soon as he showed his form, the two commanders in the command car immediately noticed it! Almost at the same time, they raised their binoculars and looked this way. And the elite fighters around the command vehicle also spotted Su, and they raised their guns to aim, of course, at a distance of nearly 1,200 meters, only the RF1000 sniper rifle produced by the Catrowin Company in the hands of the third-order sniper was the real deadly threat.

Su landed on the ground, immediately half-knelt on the ground, set up a long rifle, and aimed at the third-order sniper. The tremors of the ground continued, and the strong wind from the blast wave howled by, lifting Sue's cloak. However, the rifle in his hand did not move in the slightest. When the aftershockwave hit, Sue saw that the muzzle of the sniper's gun seemed to move slightly.

Sue's pupils immediately contracted into a doji, but he didn't pull the trigger.

At this distance, without the help of any optical sights, Su had already recognized that one of the commanders in the command vehicle was Liji who had broken into his room that night!

The woman was dressed in a crisp senior officer's uniform, with a dazzling gold star on her epaulettes, her short hair tied under her beret cap, her face covered with frost, and her eyes glittered with murder. At this time, Liji is completely an iron-blooded soldier on the battlefield, how can she still have half of the drunken and languishing atmosphere that night?

The commander next to her raised his hand and pointed at Su Yaoyao and shouted, "Kill that person!" ”

The third-order sniper responded to the call, his fingers tightening the trigger, and began the final aiming.

Su didn't move like a statue, his blue eyes amplified the sniper's movements, and even the slight muscles on his face could be seen clearly. Sue didn't shoot first, and at this distance, Sue could shoot first and then dodge as long as the sniper showed signs of firing. And he had a strong instinct that he shouldn't be the first to shoot.

"Stop!" Liki immediately shouted, and pressed the commander's hand.

The sniper obviously knew who the real commander was, and immediately released the phone that pulled the trigger when he heard the command, and the moment he released his fingers, the heaviness that pressed on his heart suddenly disappeared.

"Sir, that guy is suspicious, he seems to be following us all the way, and he seems to be a sniper, it's better to kill him......" The commander didn't seem to agree with Riggie's orders.

Liki interrupted him coldly: "I said let him go!" Don't provoke him! ”

"But ......" the commander was not an easy character to be convinced.

Liki's face became even more gloomy: "Do you want to question my orders for the third time?" Answer me, Lieutenant Colonel! ”

The commander snapped and replied loudly: "Complete obedience to your orders!" Checkmate! ”

The commander, despite his youth, courage, and military talent, did not dare to challenge her authority a third time. Although he was keenly aware of the seemingly unspeakable relationship between Riki and the sniper in the distance, and the faint burning jealousy made him want to kill the guy immediately, it didn't make him lose his mind, especially when Liki reaffirmed his order for the third time. At Roxerland, almost everyone knows Liggie's decisiveness, ruthlessness, and unscrupulousness, in addition to her military prowess. She allowed her subordinates to question any of her orders, but only twice. Anyone who tried a third chance never left the battlefield alive.

The plan for the annexation of the N11 base this time is her typical style, that is, she does not give the base any chance for peace negotiations at all, and directly blows up the gate of the base with a large amount of chemical high explosives, and then comes to the so-called negotiations. In Liki's opinion, a turtle that has lost its hard shell has no bargaining power. After blowing open the gates, the remnants of the N11 base have only two choices, either to surrender unconditionally, to become slaves or free people, it all depends on her mood. Either they were all put to death, if they dared to resist.

Liji glanced at the elite soldiers around the command vehicle and said coldly, "Put down the gun!" Do I need to repeat it a second time? ”

These elite warriors immediately put down their guns, they knew that there must be no hesitation in carrying out her orders, let alone unnecessary actions or words that would mislead her. On the battlefield, Liki is a butcher, both for the enemy and for her own people.

After suppressing her men, she looked at Sue in the distance. Instinctively, despite being far away and without any sights, she knew that Sue would be able to read her every expression.

She raised her hand and designated Sue from afar, a vague smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and her eyes were even brighter as if they were about to breathe fire. She was confident that Sue would be able to read her.

"You're my man sooner or later!" So says her left eye.

"I'm going to catch you!" Her right eye said so.

Su Moran didn't think about what would happen after that hypothetical scenario, he just put away the modified rifle, turned around and disappeared into the ruins of the wilderness.

Liki turned her head to look at the adjutant beside her, still with that ambiguous, lustful smile on her face, and the adjutant's eyes almost burst into flames.

She stretched out her left hand, tapped it on the adjutant's forehead, and said, "I know you're not convinced. But at this distance, he can easily blow your head to pieces! ”

The adjutant turned pale, not at all believing that a person could hit a target at a distance of 1200 meters without relying on sights. However, out of the corner of the adjutant's eye, he suddenly saw the third-order sniper he relied on as his trump card. The sniper was half-kneeling on the ground, his face was pale, his sweat had long been soaked in his military uniform, and only with the support of the sniper rifle did he not completely sit on the ground.

It was only at this time that the adjutant was truly surprised. He knew how many battles the sniper had fought in, and how brilliant his record was. How could such a veteran who crawled out of the pile of dead people collapse like this at a distance where only a sniper can play a role, and the confrontation with a Catrovin RF1000 sniper rifle against an old-fashioned modified rifle that does not even have a scope, and it only lasted less than a minute? This seems completely inexplicable.

There are so many unexplained things in the new era, and this is just one of them.

The adjutant's face was still iron-blue, and he didn't dare to challenge Liji's authority on the battlefield, which didn't mean that he was afraid of her. Within the company, his backer is even higher than Lige's.

The fiery sun finally disappeared into the clouds, and then the whole sky began to darken, and darkness gradually enveloped the ubiquitous ruins, and it was another starless and moonless night.

In the night, Sue was like a ghost, moving quickly and slowly through the ruins. He didn't like to rush at night, but now he tried his best to get to his destination.

The N11 base was gradually moving away behind Sue, and from the moment he showered at the base, Su knew that the fate of the N11 base had been sealed, and it was not Roxerland that came, but other organizations. Sue is not a fool except for himself, who has no ability to save anyone else, let alone fight against a company for the N11 base, a customer who has only made one transaction.

The reason for diving back to the N11 base Su hasn't figured it out yet, fishing in mixed waters is not his style, especially in the mixed waters, which consist of a company and a base, and it is likely that a mutant crocodile will come up from there. Actions without reason, Sue will classify it as intuition.

The woman who called herself Liki was a big part of what made Sue want to leave as soon as possible. Liji, who was standing in the command car, and the drunken and indulgent woman that night were almost completely two people, and even if they had zero contact, Su failed to discover the existence of abilities in her at that time. However, it is simply impossible for an incompetent person, especially a woman, to lead a company's direct army, especially one equipped with heavy armament. This can only mean that Regitte either has abilities above the third order, or has special abilities other than those that are known. Whatever the reason, it's not good news for Sue.

As long as the people at the N11 base don't resist, Liki won't order a massacre, that's what Sue read from her eyes. But what is this, a promise to Sue? Any promise has a price, and what price does she want? What's more, Sue never considered himself a savior.

Thinking of Liki's playful, wild, and confident eyes, like a cat looking at a mouse, Sue felt very uncomfortable. He doesn't like situations he can't control, and he doesn't like to be seen as something in the bag.

In the night, all the creatures were moving in the dark, and some of them were keen enough to detect Sue's whereabouts. Creatures that are good at moving in the dark of night like to dive close to their targets before acting. The most threatening distance of the Su pistol is ten meters, and if he gets closer, he can also use the dagger well.

After a day and a night of intense trekking, a vibrant town came into Sue's vision. The town was a far cry from a squalid and cluttered settlement, with barbed wire fences around it, sandbags at the exit, guarded by several armed soldiers, and a concrete guard tower seven or eight meters high at each of the four corners of the town, with the dark muzzles of the towers silently watching the empty wasteland.

In the middle of the town, there is a very conspicuous ten-story building, the dark blue glass curtain wall is spotlessly clean, and a huge billboard is erected on the roof, on which the mark of the jumping flame is extremely eye-catching.

This is Asmo, where Payne is headquartered.

Sue no longer hid and walked towards Asmo. The soldiers on guard were obviously impressed by Sue, and just routinely checked his license and let him into Asmo.

Asmo is not large, and about half of the area, including the headquarters building, is an exclusive area for the company, and only members of the company are allowed to enter and leave. The rest of the area is dotted with hotels, bars, warehouses, parking lots, etc., for customers who come to trade with the company. And the company's own members will also come to the entertainment area to relax in their spare time.

Behind the headquarters building are a cluster of factories that produce everything from canned goods, cement and steel to weapons and equipment. At the other end is a small power plant that provides power. Of course, the scale of production here cannot be compared with the old era, and there is no economy of scale. But in turbulent times, it had to be so. In order to rebuild from the ruins, most of the necessary materials can only be produced by yourself. Although trading is ubiquitous, no company will trade strategic goods to its counterparties.

Like all companies, Payne has its own armament, a 150-man team, all armed with PE02 rifles of its own production. And in Asmo, in addition to three old howitzer heavy guns, there is also an old chariot town. Under such force, no outcasts would dare to provoke Asmo, not even to stay within fifty kilometers of it. Otherwise, I don't know when I will encounter the company's patrol team, whether I will be expelled or killed directly, I can only resign myself to fate. And Payne's top brass also understands that safety is the guarantee of profits, so they spare no effort to crack down on the mob entrenched around them.

Payne's force was much stronger than the N11 base, but it was not enough to take the N11 base at a small cost. This is also the reason why the company did not attack the base. On the other hand, there is an unpolluted source of water under Asmo, and although no one knows when this groundwater will bring radiation, at least for the time being, there is no need to lose a large number of well-trained fighters for water.

In Asmo, you can resupply, buy weapons, work for Payne's company, and find beautiful women or men, the last of which is premised on money.

Over the past three months, Sue has worked on three missions for Payne and turned in four specimens of new mutant species to obtain a hunter and mercenary license. Whether it was encircling and suppressing armed mobs or cleaning up specific areas, Su completed his part neatly and meticulously. This allowed him to get his license earlier than anyone else, and he became friends with Payne's manager in charge of outside employment.

Despite the fact that friends were already a very rare term in this era, Byrne, who was close to total baldness, always considered himself a friend of Sue, and insisted that Sue accompany him for a drink every time he returned to Asmo.

After Sue returned to Asmo this time, it was no exception. As soon as night fell, he was dragged into the bar by Byrne. The bar was dimly lit and filled with the smell of alcohol and hormones, and scantily clad women were shuttling around, trying to find the man who would pay for their services tonight. On the small stage, two dancers, barely clothed, writhing wildly, could dance frantically for two hours under the combined effects of drugs and alcohol, and then be carried down when they were exhausted. There are many men who like to vent their desires on their bodies that are already extremely tired, and of course, these dancers are not bad-looking, and their value is naturally comparable to their faces and figures.

Bourne loved the decadence, lust and lewdness that permeated the place, and he would order a large bottle of strong whiskey every time he visited. Of course, it's not a high-end product from the old era, but just Asmo's own sake. This wine doesn't have the rich fruity aromas of old-time whiskeys, but at least it's strong enough.

Sue didn't like this place. The smell was so thick that it could barely be dissolved, almost equating to most people with hallucinogens and aphrodisiacs, but it was a complete torture to Sue's overly sensitive senses. Also, every time he saw Bourne order that $90 a bottle of whiskey, he couldn't help but equate it with 20 rounds of custom-made ammunition or two high-explosive grenades. In the wilderness, these munitions can often save Sue's life, while whiskey does not.

As soon as he had a drink, Bourne would open up the conversation and talk endlessly, half of which was about the heroic deeds of his youth, and the other half about the trivial events that had happened in Asmo during this time. None of this was of Sue's interest at all, so he remained quiet most of the time, just listening quietly. He knew that Bourne just needed an audience.
