Chapter 17 The Lonelier You are
Chapter 17 is more lonely
The sound of gunfire shattered the tranquility of the tundra.
The sound of this shot was not very loud, and it did not have the momentum of the old sniper rifle after the bullet was discharged. It clearly carries the characteristics of a new-age firearm, detailed and plain, like a sophisticated electronic instrument that has been dialed a scale, but the power is by no means ambiguous. The terrible screams that followed over the tundra added the best note to the power of this shot.
A beautiful young man was rolling desperately with his left leg, which was only half of his leg, screaming with all his strength. Just a few meters away, most of his left leg lay quietly on the ground, occasionally **. The young man crawled on the ground and stretched out his hand to take it back, but the action then brought more intense and boundless pain, and the young man again clung to the broken leg and screamed until the breath in his lungs was exhausted, and the screaming stopped slightly.
The hot blood splashed on the tundra and was immediately sucked into the dry and cold rock, and the young man's long wail and howling cold wind were intertwined, spreading far away, as if interpreting the cruelty and helplessness of the tundra.
Maria stood silently, silently watching the young man roll on the ground. Her eyes were filled with anger, and her scarlet lips were as thin as a knife.
This young man is very beautiful and is one of her favorite servants. His abilities are not the most outstanding, but he is the man who can make Maria have the most fun, so when he went deep into the tundra this time, the bloodthirsty Maria also brought him with him, not expecting young men to play any role in the hunt, but just habitually keeping them by his side in case of emergency.
Just now, when Maria was alert and quickly turned around, the bullets were already whizzing in front of her. She almost watched as the bullet made a vague trajectory in the air and then into the middle of the young man's thigh. The power of the bullet exploded completely after it had completely penetrated the flesh of the leg, and the young man's left leg was torn apart from the middle of the thigh, and it spun and flew out.
Maria knew that the shot had missed the point, not because the sniper had missed, but because it was meant to break the young man's left leg. There is no good reason to support this judgment, it is purely intuitive, and intuition also tells Maria that she is right.
The bullet was fired from 2000 meters away, then this man's sniping ability is definitely no worse than Lynch's. The visibility of the wilderness at night is very low, and although Maria is not afraid of snipers, she is not known for her perception ability, and it is impossible to track a sniper at a distance of 2000 meters in such a wild environment and such a short duration.
The young man was still screaming, and the screams were like an invisible slap in the face, and she kept pumping in the face, and her face was burning as if it were on fire. Maria suddenly strode up, stepped on the severed leg, and with a thud, the severed leg exploded as if it had hidden gunpowder inside, and the flesh and blood stained the tundra within a few meters of scarlet. The young man, who was still screaming, suddenly saw his leg crushed with a bang, and the hope of recovery suddenly disappeared, and his spirit was like a bowstring that was tensed to the extreme, and under this final blow, it broke completely, let out a cry-like wail, and finally fainted.
Maria silently walked up to one of the servants, pulled a high-powered pistol from her waist, and aimed it at the unconscious young man, pouring out twenty rounds from the magazine. The young man seemed to have woken up from a coma, but after only a few quick and short screams, he immediately became silent, only his body bouncing irregularly with the bullets coming in, and blood even splattered on Maria's face several meters away!
After the magazine was empty, Maria pulled a new magazine from Hu Cong's body, loaded it into the pistol, and shot at the constant target in front of her at a constant speed. The pistol was so powerful that almost every shot would have opened a terrifying hole in the young man's body. After 40 rounds were fired, no one could tell what the body had ever been from the blurred mass of flesh.
The servant standing beside Maria had a pale face, and although she was very delicate, she didn't quite fit Maria's aesthetics. She stood straight in place, not daring to make any unnecessary movements, lest Maria's anger be transferred to her in the slightest.
Maria's breathing was even and serene, the result of her deliberate control. She knew that the sniper, Sue, was mostly hiding from a distance and watching here, watching her reaction, or in other words, watching her jokes. Accurately breaking one of the legs of a walking servant from a distance of 2000 meters is indeed a good marksmanship, but it is only at the same level as the fifth-order sniper mastery. This is not a blow to her, and one less servant will not affect her combat effectiveness, but this clumsy appearance of this servant before death makes her unable not to be angry! Every scream was a layer of her face. And he had fallen into a complete panic, ignoring Maria's murderous gaze. When Maria fired, she was venting her anger to the fullest, but she also knew that she had already lost the first game.
She hated Sue even more, why didn't he go to Calvon, not to Lynch, but to find her first? Could it be that Su thinks that as a woman, she must be the weakest of the three? Maria's lips were red as if they had just been smeared with blood, and she was determined to show Sue how wrong she had been to provoke herself first.
Maria no longer glanced at the frozen flesh on the ground, but walked into the depths of the tundra. She thinks that Su should have quietly left, snipers are only king outside the distance, if they stay too long and are accidentally locked by Maria, then the fate of Su, who only has the ability to perceive the domain, can be imagined. Maria's chosen route was negotiated with Kavon and Lynch, and could create synergies. The route was mainly chosen by Lynch, a scavenger who was also a sniper-savvy expert, and was a natural expert at hunting down and containment.
Now, Maria even wished that Sue would shoot again, and with all her attention, this shot would most likely reveal Sue's whereabouts, or at least leave some clues.
Thinking of Sue's appearance and what she could do after catching Sue before handing it over to the top, Maria couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement from the bottom of her heart, and even made her tremble a little.
Bang!
However, an ill-timed gunshot interrupted her approaching *. Then, another scream rang through the tundra. Maria spun around like a whirlwind, just in time to see the half-severed leg whirl past her and fall to the frozen ground.
The broken leg is very long, slender and powerful, and it is a leg that is very appetizing to Maria. Its original owner also looked like it met the standards of beauty in the minds of ordinary people, and also met Maria's taste. But now, like the young man before, she was rolling desperately on the ground with her broken leg in her arms. After seeing the fate of the previous man, she still maintained a little sobriety, desperately trying not to scream, but the unbearable pain still forced her to burst out with a suppressed wail or two from time to time.
Maria only felt that her face was hot, as if she had been slapped again, and it was direct, fierce, and ruthless, just like Persephone back then.
Maria's body suddenly swelled slightly, and there was a continuous clatter all over her body, and blades ranging from one centimeter thick to thirty to fifty centimeters long popped out from under the metal armor covering her outer arms, shoulders, and legs, and the blades kept swaying and vibrating, making a palpitating buzzing sound. Looking at her in the dim darkness of the night, it was as if many floating streamers suddenly stretched out from her body.
Maria suddenly exerted her strength and began to run, her running posture was vigorous and powerful, like a wolf in the desert! A beast-like instinct told her that Sue was not far ahead of her.
Maria was running so fast that she had already rushed hundreds of meters away. The servants hurriedly chased after Maria as fast as they could, and in an instant, only the young girl with her broken leg was left in the tundra. She stared at the dark and gloomy wasteland without a trace of life in a daze, and suddenly screamed in fright, and the terrible cry pierced the night of the tundra, far away, but no one looked back at all.
In the darkness in the distance, a figure suddenly bounced up from the ground, and then ran northwest with extraordinary speed. Maria's spirits were so high that blood-colored ripples began to appear in the depths of her pupils! The electronic eyes on her mask swirled rapidly, and various image capture methods overlapped and locked on the figure one after another.
The intelligent brain hidden under the mask immediately analyzed and compared the image with the stored data, it was Su.
Maria took a deep breath and howled like a wolf! Her cries are incomparably penetrating, and can be heard lightly for tens of kilometers on icy tundra nights. Stirred by the scream, Maria's body was buzzing and shaking with dozens of flying blades, and her speed was raised again and again, and the distance between her and Su was rapidly narrowing.
In the upper right corner of the electronic eye's field of vision, there is a small map of the area, and three points of light on the map are moving rapidly. The blue dot in the foreground was Sue, and the rapidly approaching red dot behind him represented Maria, and a few kilometers away, another orange dot was rapidly approaching, taking Sue's path from the other direction. Maria knew that it was Scythe Kavon.
As for Lynch, he has always liked to hide in the dark and does not inform Calvon and Maria of his location at all.
Maria's disgust for Kavon welled up in her heart, and at the current rate, even if she could catch up with Sue, she would have less than five seconds to end the fight. After five seconds, Kavon will be close enough to intervene, and at that point the shape will become extremely complex and uncertain, and it is difficult to tell whether the target of Kavon's first blow is Sue or Maria. As for her subordinates, they have been thrown a kilometer away at this moment, and they can't be counted on at all. Fortunately, looking at Cavon's speed, his subordinates also can't keep up, and the two of them are even.
Maria's speed had increased to the extreme, and she was hunched over, her brain hidden behind her mask nervously calculating the outcome of a death match between her and Kavon.
After a very short period of calculation, Maria's brain began to heat up due to overload. Because Su's speed began to become faster and slower, and it was also necessary to consider Ricardo and the others who were with Sue, all the calculations rose geometrically, which instantly exceeded the capacity of the brain, so Maria had to stop the task of the brain. But it also reminded her that Sue was not alone.
Su's speed has also gradually increased, and he is about a kilometer away from Maria, although the distance is still narrowing, but it is not easy to catch up with Su. To Maria's secret delight, at the current rate, Sue had a good chance of rushing through the interception before Cavon cut him off. And Sue was already running no slower than Kavon.
Realizing this as well, Kavon adjusted his course and made another larger circle, cutting from the perimeter to Sue's front lane.
Maria let out a sharp roar, pulled two flying blades from her body with her backhand, and threw them at Sue. The flying blade sprued through the air, like two willow leaves, up and down, fluttering, almost impossible to dodge.
Su didn't seem to know that there were two deadly sharp weapons flying behind him, and he just ran straight forward, until the floating blade was still a few meters away from him, and then suddenly turned around and dodged sideways. The Flying Blade was driven by the air flow that he flashed, and at the same time it turned around, and continued to stab at Su one after the other! Su looked a little surprised, and suddenly froze in place, and the saber in his hand swung out with lightning and knocked the two flying blades to the ground with two clangs.
But with such a delay, the distance between Sue and Maria became even closer. Maria sneered a few times, pulled out seven or eight floating blades from her body with her backhand, and threw them at Su continuously. The fluttering blade zigzags forward, like a clump of willow leaves. But these willow leaves stared at Su tightly, following his movements, and they couldn't shake it off at all.
Su kept changing direction, and his speed was fast and slow, but he still couldn't get rid of the flying blade coming from behind him. He shot down four Flying Blades one after another, and Maria threw more than a dozen Flying Blades! Chasing behind Su was almost half of the blades on her body! Su was no longer able to block all the floating blades, and several wounds quickly appeared on his body.
An excited and cruel smile appeared on the corner of Maria's mouth, the distance between her and Su was only two or three hundred meters now, and it seemed that Su had no way to escape. The only one who can disrupt the situation is Lynch. Lynch certainly didn't want to see Sue fall into Maria's hands, and his only hope was that the scavenger wasn't known for its speed, and the two sides chased for more than a dozen kilometers, perhaps leaving Lynch far behind.
But in any era, there are no absolutes. At this moment, the last thing Maria wanted to hear was the sound of gunfire, especially the distinctive sound of the sniper rifle.
Then, she heard gunshots.
