Chapter 11 The Correct Use of High Technology
However, this method of entry, which was intended to go unnoticed, did not have the desired effect, and even though the merchant was very careful, he still lightly touched the door.
"Squeak......
An unpleasant sound echoed in the empty and silent pharmacy, making the heart of the merchant suddenly sink to the bottom.
"Who is it?!" Sure enough, there was a loud cry from the depths of the drugstore, apparently alarming the 'beast' inside, who was agitated at this time, and may still be injured.
'Damn, it's been discovered!' The merchant thought so, and after a brief moment of panic, he finally remembered to hide his figure and hide behind a metal rack full of medicines on the other side.
'Where?' The merchant nervously looked around, but found nothing that could be called an enemy.
Corpses denser than outside the door were scattered throughout the pharmacy, mixed with the smell of herbs and alcohol that the pharmacy itself had, making it particularly pungent and unpleasant.
At the same time, the smell made it impossible for him to find the enemy, even though his sense of smell had intensified to an inhuman level.
However, just when the merchant was at a loss, the enemy on the opposite side was already approaching the merchant from an angle that he could not perceive.
Although it may seem like a casual walk aimlessly, if you look at it directly above, it is obvious that it is completely approaching the merchant master.
The sound of footsteps so light that it was barely audible made the merchant feel helpless, even though his keen instincts had already sounded the alarm in his head, and it had become stronger and stronger as time passed.
But I still can't find it! The pair of fluffy leopard ears fluttered constantly, but this obvious effort did not achieve the desired result in the slightest.
'I can't hear the footsteps, I can't see the figure that must be shuttling between these metal frames, and I can't smell his scent......' like a merchant in the dark, but the excited smile on the corner of his mouth widened for some reason.
Although intellectually fearing an unknown and powerful opponent, the subconscious that is hidden in the depths of the soul for some reason exudes indescribable joy.
"I'm a pervert!" The merchant said in a low voice.
The moment he realized that his abilities were useless to the enemy he was now facing, the merchant lifted the transformation that had been going on for a long time. After all, while it's a handy ability, it still requires a lot of mental and physical energy from the user.
And the next battle, it is obvious that the competition between the mental aspect and staying power is more important.
"Although it is really not suitable to use a gun in this kind of field where enemies can appear around at any time, but there is no way to do it......" The merchant thought to himself, drew his only weapon again, pulled open the safety bolt and checked the ammunition, and then looked up again to be alert to the surrounding movements.
"Bump!" A crisp sound sounded in the Shang Shi's ears, which made the Shang Shi couldn't help but change his face greatly, and at the same time subconsciously shrank back.
'Found me?! The merchant thought in disbelief, "How can it be so fast?!" Could it be that from the very beginning, my position has been locked?! ”
This is also the lack of experience of the merchant, in this kind of situation when the two sides have no way to determine each other's position, they must not stay still like the merchant, but should constantly adjust their position, and at the same time not be detected by the enemy, detect the enemy's position in disguise.
If there are no traces left by the enemy passing through the place you are passing through, then it means that your enemy has not been here, and based on this judgment, the enemy on the opposite side will be able to determine the location of the merchant's side smoothly.
It's just that the current merchant has not yet comprehended this truth, and is still passively hiding in place, like a frightened rabbit, looking around nervously, highly alert for enemies that may appear at any time.
The "bump" was another crisp sound, and it was closer to the merchant, and even the source of the sound was closer, which made the merchant even more frightened.
There was also a gun on the other side, although it was probably not a large gun, but it was getting closer and closer to the point of impact, and it was obvious that he was a professional, or at least a former professional. ’
The merchant looked around for suitable cover while mentally guessing the identity of the enemy.
'Security? Shooting enthusiast? Shooter? Veteran? Or is it an active military member or an agent? ’
One answer after another came out of the merchant's heart, but the further back it went, the more unreliable it became.
But judging from the fact that he hasn't been discovered by me before, this guy also has good anti-reconnaissance and stealth capabilities, and the first three options can be ruled out simply by using guns. The merchant came to a conclusion, but it wasn't so favorable to him.
"Military...... What a headache for the enemy. The merchant sighed softly.
"Don't worry, you won't have to worry about it soon......" A somewhat hoarse male voice came from not far away, interrupting the merchant's self-muttering, "When you arrive in that blissful world, all the troubles in the world will be gone!" ”
Hearing this, the smile on the face of the merchant became even stronger, "It's really strange to believe that you're still a Buddhist......"
As a soldier who has been on the battlefield, what he casually said was the lines that only monks would often hang on their lips, which really made the merchant feel all kinds of discord.
"However, arrogance is not a good habit......," the merchant said with a smile, and at the same time, with a sudden flick of his wrist, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the direction from which the voice just came from, which was two consecutive shots.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
"Boom! Boom! But the two clear sounds made the merchant frown slightly.
"Very quick judgment, such a tense situation, you were able to find out the direction of the sound so quickly, I really can't see that you are just an ordinary child." The unfamiliar male voice praised, "But it's still too tender after all!" ”
'Damn, why didn't you hit?! The merchant anxiously scanned the surroundings as he searched again for a place to hide, 'Why......
"Why wasn't I where the sound came from......" The unfamiliar voice sounded again, and said with great certainty, "You want to ask this question." ”
The merchant didn't answer, and the man hiding in the shadows didn't expect his answer, and continued, "Although it is a good way to judge the enemy's location by sound, that method has been outdated for decades......"
"Don't you know that there is now a kind of communication device that has its own function, called 'onomatopoeia'?"
Hearing this, the merchant was carefully looking at the direction he was shooting in just now, and vaguely saw an extremely tiny black thing, similar to the shape of a button, which made the merchant feel annoyed for a while.
My mind is still stuck at the beginning of the 21st century, and now it is not the earth it used to be, and this mentality must be adjusted, otherwise I will die soon in vain! The merchant said self-reflectively.
