Chapter 20: Encounter Again

Time passed day by day, September 15th, night...

A lot happened during this time, and the German strategy of building a defensive line step by step caused heavy losses to the Soviet army.

They reengaged three army groups in an attempt to push the Germans out of Stalingrad, but all failed.

The Germans suffered numerous casualties, and the Soviets were covered with corpses.

As a personal experience, Xia Ming simply couldn't describe how fierce the battle was.

The two sides will fight to the death for every house, workshop, water tower, railway embankment, and even for a wall, a basement, and every pile of rubble.

In order to prevent the Germans from giving full play to their tactical superiority, the Soviets directly adopted the strategy of pressing close to the Germans as close as possible. It's going to be bombed, and everyone is going to be blown up together.

Even in many battles, the breathing of the opposing side can be heard.

On average, Soviet soldiers who were newly put into battle did not survive for more than a day, and officers had to be reimbursed for three days. Germany was no better off there, and there were only a few people left in the number of troops.

Xia Ming's company has grown from 160 people to 17 people now, and the death has long been numb.

Xia Ming sat in a tattered window and shot down a Soviet soldier who was trying to get water from the water pipe.

The somewhat leaky valve was only a block away from the stronghold where he was hiding, less than 300 meters.

He has already killed 2 of this place, but these guys still insist on coming to get water. Night is the best weapon for him, and his hunting grounds are all around.

As several retaliatory shots from the opposite side hit the nearby wall, Xia Ming leaned to the side and lit a cigarette with an expressionless face.

Watching his comrades-in-arms fall one by one, his heart slowly formed a thick layer of frost. At first, he was a little naΓ―ve to think that he could help most people live.

Only those who have experienced this war first-hand can understand the devastating effects of this battlefield on humanity.

β€œ299...”

Looking at the stats of his own kills of enemy soldiers made him feel a little excited in his heart. Kill one more to get the quest reward.

After 10 days of fighting, he almost forgot who he was and his desire to go home, and he was about to be annihilated by revenge.

And unknowingly killed almost 300 enemies...

This is definitely murderous.

That being the case, he doesn't mind killing another one.

Casually extinguishing the cigarette butt, Xia Ming set up his rifle in another position. It was a small window he had specially hewn out, and the position was not only hidden, but also the size of a fist.

It didn't take long for another figure to appear at the corner of the street.

"Hmph..."Xia Ming pursed his lips slightly coldly.

These hairs are really a tendon, he fights as much as he comes, and if you want to drink water tonight, let's change places.

But soon he frowned slightly, and a little boy walked out with a frightened expression.

Xia Ming took a deep breath and gritted his teeth against the trigger. These hairs are really ruthless, and they actually come out to fetch water for a different child.

Seeing the boy trembling and taking half a pot of water and hurriedly leaving, Xia Ming finally did not shoot.

He really can't do this kind of thing...

But soon another figure came out, and he saw a woman walking out tremblingly.

It was obvious that she was a little scared, but she still mustered up the courage to pick up the pot and pick up the water.

Xia Ming was very unhappy in his heart at this time, did he really think that he was a paladin possessed by light? ? Don't kill children and women??

If he can't do it with the child, the woman should not think that he will be polite.

Many of his comrades-in-arms were killed by female warriors. There were only adults and children on the battlefield, no men and women.

Even if she doesn't look like a soldier, who lets them constantly provoke their bottom line??

Xia Ming frowned and locked on her head.

"How is she??" If you look closely, this woman is actually the Russian girl she let go of in Karachi at that time, and it seems that her name is Anna.

There is also a hidden mission about her.

β€œ... Hmm" Xia Ming slowly released the trigger, he really couldn't fire this gun. On the one hand, there is an illusory task, and on the other hand, it is really difficult for a man to kill this kind of woman.

After all, he is also a member of the Appearance Association, and he is afraid that he will have nightmares with such a beautiful woman in his hand. This is the weakness of human nature, and although his heart is wrapped in a layer of frost, it is still hot.

Soon Anna seemed to have some argument with the man behind the wall, who handed her two more jugs.

"Phew.." Xia Ming shot the man in the arm. Seeing him fall backwards in pain, he quickly reloaded, and another shot ended his life.

He didn't dare to come, looking for women and children to be pawns, of course he would not miss this kind of opportunity.

Seeing Anna running to the wall and squatting there sobbing with tears in a daze, Xia Ming quickly withdrew his rifle and leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

Don't blame him for being too ruthless, this is the battlefield. Those who can't adapt have already seen God.

"Ding, congratulations, you completed Adventure Mission 4 and killed 300 enemy soldiers.

Reward 10 attribute points and 100 points, and randomly select a primary combat skill.

Draw now?? ”

Seeing the information of the system cheered Xia Ming up, he needs combat skills too much now, but unfortunately it is a matter of luck, but it is better than nothing.

"Smoke, sure." Xia Ming looked at the system information very nervously.

"Pumping begins...

Drawing is complete!

Congratulations on getting the skill Blade Raid!

Blade Assault: Master the technique of stabbing with a close dagger, body strength +3, reflex nerve +5.

Xia Ming looked at the introduction of the new skill and pulled out his military dagger casually.

To be honest, his hand-to-hand combat ability is poor, and he fights entirely on instinct. In addition to a pistol, there is almost no defense.

There are too many hand-to-hand battles in street fights, and many times the enemy is just a wall, or even waiting behind the door to ambush them.

Nowadays, ammunition is scarce, and in order to reduce ammunition consumption, no one will shoot indiscriminately. If he hadn't scavenged a lot of supplies in advance, he would have been worried about ammunition now. White-knuckle combat is becoming more and more important.

If it weren't for his teammates' desperate efforts to protect him as a sharpshooter, he might not have been able to hold out until now.

This skill is really too important for him, and it greatly compensates for his combat effectiveness.

Looking at the dagger in his hand exuding a slight chill, Xia Ming seemed to feel that it had merged with himself.

Countless fighting and assassination techniques flashed through my mind.

The dagger swirled back and forth in his hand, and each finger seemed to make it dance with a sharp light.

"Whew, good luck. This skill is very well drawn! Xia Ming quickly inserted the dagger back, and his eyes showed a confident light.

"You still have 10 attribute points to assign, are they assigned??"

"Well..."

Xia Ming thought about it for a while, and finally added 5 points of physical strength and 5 points of reflex nerves.

Today's battlefield doesn't require much of other attributes, and he needs to maximize his combat ability. Other attributes are relatively not as cost-effective.

For example, brain activity, he is now fighting a war and is not engaged in research, so it is impossible to add it to it.

Spirit points, which belong to intermediate attribute points. Putting in one point requires 5 stat points. According to the introduction, mental points are an essential attribute for learning many intermediate skills.

He didn't have much of a primary skill now, so naturally it was impossible to add it to it.

As for advanced attributes like ghost energy, 100 attribute points can only be increased a little, and of course they won't pay attention to it.

Seeing that today's properties panel is a lot better than it was at the beginning.

Character: Xia Ming

Gender: Male

Age: 21 years old

Level: Level 1 Adventurer

Physical Strength: 30

Reflex nerves: 24

Brain activity: 13

Mental Intensity: 2

....

Ghost Power: 0

...

During this time, the strength of the body and the reflex nerve have increased by 2 points, plus the bonus points of skills and attributes have increased by more than 3 times compared to the beginning.

It also has strong skill support, and its combat effectiveness is definitely not worse than that of elite special personnel.

"Whew, keep up the good work." Xia Ming watched the system data slowly disappear and sighed secretly.

Although he has become a lot stronger, he is not superhuman. The road ahead is long, and every day there are countless pits waiting for him to jump off...

To survive, you must always keep a clear head. Of course, a bit of luck is needed...
