Chapter 10: Another Assassination

Time flies, in a flash, two months have passed.

After the hot summer, it is finally the autumn season, and the temperature is relatively cooler.

Three months have passed since the deadline of the mission, and the two have not experienced any assassinations since the three assassinations they encountered on the first day.

After three months of life in the wild, the two of them also changed their appearance slightly.

Bai Fan's skin had become a little darker, his hair had grown a lot, and he now looked like a primitive savage.

After three months of walking through the jungle, his clothes had already been torn into strips of rags, but now he was used to living barebody.

As for Xuanji, she hasn't changed much, except that her hair looks a little longer, but she does have a little bit of change.

Ninety-one days, a full three months, her belly had risen slightly, and during these days, she had eaten much more.

However, Xuanji is also pregnant for the first time, she doesn't know that it is normal for her to eat more, she only feels that she is very hungry, even if she eats many things at once, it will not be long before she will be hungry again.

On this day, Xuanji took a bath by a stream, not so much as taking a bath, but simply wiping her body with clean water.

When sweat sticks to the body and dries, it will form a thin layer of salt crystals, and the sweat will also produce a strange smell when it adheres to the body, and Xuanji hates that smell.

Suddenly, Xuanji's ears moved slightly, her hearing ability was very strong, and she seemed to hear a strange movement, although the voice was very soft, she still noticed it.

Hearing this, Xuanji immediately climbed onto the shore, dressed herself, and pulled out the dagger in her hand, moving closer to the direction of the change.

As Xuanji gradually got closer, she also frowned and sighed, because she knew what was going on with this abnormal movement.

A moment later, Xuanji pulled Bai Fan out of a bush, and then looked at him with a lesson.

"Can you please stop peeking at me taking a shower, I'm not your lover, don't you think you're lewd?" Xuanji tugged at Bai Fan's ears and said in a questioning tone.

Bai Fanhan scratched his head with a smile, and said with a look of shame: "I just happened to pass by, I didn't mean to." ”

In these three months, let alone a lover, except for Xuanji, he didn't even see a single figure, and at this time, even if he saw a sow, he would feel clear-eyed.

What's more, Xuanji beside him is a real young girl, so he can't help but always want to fight Xuanji's idea.

Because of years of living a corrupt and luxurious life, his uninhibited personality has been deeply engraved in his habits, although it is not his intention, but this is himself.

Originally, Xuanji wanted to continue to reprimand Bai Fan, but suddenly she heard another movement, and the sound of the movement was more obvious, it seemed to be footsteps.

Xuanji vigilantly let go of the hand that was holding Bai Fan's ear, and then looked around, she was sure that she had heard it correctly just now, that movement was the footsteps of a human being.

Bai Fan just wanted to say something, but he saw Xuanji raise his hand and make a gesture to shut up, and Bai Fan could only swallow the words in his throat.

"Who! Come out! Xuanji clenched the dagger tightly, constantly watching the direction from which the strange movement came, which was a thick grass.

Perhaps knowing that he was exposed, the thick grass moved, and a black shadow came out of the grass, also holding a dagger in his hand.

Bai Fan saw that the black shadow was an immature little girl, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, in terms of age, only a little younger than Xuanji, the little girl's cheeks were not beautiful, and even had a large area of freckles, but her face showed murderous aura.

The little girl held a dark black dagger in her hand, and under the sunlight, the whole dagger did not reflect at all, and the little girl took two steps forward, her short hair moving slightly in the wind.

She was always looking for an opportunity, she knew Xuanji's combat ability, as long as she was slightly close to Xuanji's hearing perception range, she would be immediately sensed by Xuanji.

So she has been waiting, she wanted to wait for Xuanji to leave a little longer and then do it, but by mistake, Bai Fan secretly followed and peeked at Xuanji taking a bath.

This ruined her assassination plan, and in a hurry, she unintentionally exposed herself when she captured Bai Fan's movements again.

"Since it's exposed, it doesn't matter, you suffer death!" The little girl shouted.

Suddenly, a cold light swept by, and the sparks produced by the staggered staggering of the two daggers swept out beside Bai Fan.

The little girl's speed is very fast, and the person she wants to assassinate first is still Bai Fan, her speed is so fast that Bai Fan doesn't have time to react.

In this case, only Xuanji can be her opponent, so the moment the little girl makes a move, Xuanji knows her target.

Before the dagger slashed across Bai Fan's neck, Xuanji raised the dagger to block the deadly stabbing blow.

"Starstripe bearer?" Xuanji looked at the little girl in front of her in disbelief and said.

Xuanji saw that the little girl's eyes were emitting a bright red glow, and this light could only be emitted after activating the star stripe state, so she was sure that this little girl was a star stripe holder.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the battle would affect Bai Fan, Xuanji suddenly raised his other hand and pushed Bai Fan, Xuanji used a lot of strength, and Bai Fan was pushed far away by a powerful palm.

Then Xuanji jerked up her knees and cushioned the little girl's abdomen, only to see that the little girl was like a loach, nimbly avoiding Xuanji's sudden attack.

"Starstripe Status Activated!" Xuanji shouted.

In an instant, Xuanji's eyes also turned bright red, and her face gradually became gloomy, becoming hideous, and looking a little terrifying.

After the little girl avoided Xuanji's attack, she suddenly changed her target and ran towards Bai Fan violently, so fast that she pulled up a gust of wind.

It seemed that Xuanji was a little faster than her, and Xuanji didn't know when she burst in front of her, raised her dagger and stabbed it at the little girl's chest.

Touch! The sparks staggered, and the two daggers collided together, and the little girl raised the dagger to completely block the attack of Xuanji, but suddenly, the little girl laughed wildly.

Her gaze shifted from Bai Fan's body to Xuanji's body, and she seemed to enjoy the feeling, she hadn't fought between starstripe holders for a long time.

Several vigorous lights and shadows stabbed at Xuanji, the little girl suddenly became serious, and the speed of the whole person also increased a lot, and the attack towards Xuanji was like a storm.

From Bai Fan's point of view, the speed at which the two people wielded daggers was so fast that he couldn't see clearly, and the only thing that was certain was the sound of sparks and metal colliding between the daggers and the staggers.

Xuanji didn't expect that the little girl's offensive in front of her would be so sharp, and in the staggered period, she only had the upper hand on defense, and she couldn't have the upper hand at all.

A shadow of light swept across Xuanji's forehead, Xuanji's body quickly moved back, the light and shadow passed, and a strand of hair fell from Xuanji's forehead.

It was so dangerous, she was almost caught by the offensive just now, and this sharp offensive gave Xuanji no chance to breathe.

However, Xuanji still maintained her composure, and the battle between the star pattern holders only needed to reveal a flaw for a moment, and everything was over.

'It's a hassle to get pregnant!' Xuanji thought to herself.

Indeed, although her belly only bulged slightly, it had already had a great impact on the battle, causing her to have many countermeasures that she could not use.

However, as the strongest combat clone in the military's special forces, Xuanji's combat power is fully worthy of her title.

In an instant, she grabbed a flaw in the little girl's crazy attack, and ran to the little girl's cheek with a cold backhand.

The little girl was shocked, she didn't expect that under her own almost crazy offensive, Xuanji would be able to catch the gap between the counterattack and stab back, and in an instant, she retreated violently, but it was still a little too late.

She felt a tingling in her cheek, a smear of blood dripping from her cheek, and she reached out to find that a cut had been made on her cheek, and blood was dripping from it.

"It's really the strongest existence in the special forces, but that's all, it can stab me in the cheek, and after you die, I will remember you." The little girl suddenly sneered.

This scene made Xuanji feel a little ominous, she didn't reply, just tried to maintain her physical strength, after activating the star-striped state, the loss of physical strength was also huge, she didn't want to let her physical energy lose too much, she was not sure that the little girl in front of her could solve her in a short time.

"Enter Atom Mode!" The little girl said coldly.

Suddenly, the little girl had a change, and the bright red light in her eyes faded into a bright turquoise.

Through the skin, you can see that the blood vessels and green tendons under the little girl's skin also suddenly brightened, and began to emit a flashing blue-green light.

Seeing this scene, Xuanji was a little surprised, of course she knew what this thing was, but she didn't know why this little girl was carrying this thing.

The Atom mode mentioned by the little girl refers to an enhancement mode after the neural linkage system intervenes in the stellar state, and the stellar state after being strengthened by the neural linkage system will further enhance the user's combat effectiveness.

This Atom mode can forcibly allow the user to break through their own limits, thereby raising their full potential to the maximum limit that the body can bear, and can also be seen as a secondary reinforcement of the star-striped state.

Unlike normal Starstripe wielders, only combat clones who are paired with both the Starstripe System and the Neural Linkage System will be able to activate the Starstripe state and enter Atom Mode.

As far as she knew, there were only two sets of neural linkage systems, one on her body, and the other should be in the military's Technology Development Bureau, but why did it appear on the little girl's body.

Xuanji's body is also equipped with a neural linkage system, and of course she can activate the Atom mode, but she doesn't like this thing.

Although the Atom mode can re-enhance the combat power on the basis of the star-striped state, its side effects are also quite obvious, and all of these improvements are completed by overdrawing the vitality.

Therefore, activating the Atom mode will greatly overdraw the user's lifespan, and even accelerate the user's aging.

And Xuanji was originally a combat clone, and when she implanted the star pattern system, the repair nanobots in her body were already draining her vitality.

Although after sixty iterations, the lifespan of the Starstripe Bearer has increased from thirty years to forty years in the original generation, the lifespan is still relatively short overall.

On this basis, if the Atom mode is activated, her lifespan will be overdrawn faster, to put it simply, the Atom mode is to exchange her vitality for a short-term burst of combat power.
