282 Life and Death Strike (I)
Kevin began to feel uneasy. If Zhang Yuan is indeed still in the area he has searched, it means that he has a special way of hiding, which can avoid the search and detection of the Adjudicating Paladin. But Kevin is convinced that a bug hunter who still needs to rob the Silverball Army can't have more advanced technology than the Adjudicator Paladin. The advanced multi-purpose detectors possessed by several paladins are by no means shieldable with instruments that can be purchased from the market.
The paladin searched with all his might, and all the blind spots were cleared, but nothing was found. On top of that, Corick's detection of the young man's target was now getting more and more blurred. Kevin's face was pale, and he still stood straight, but his heart was already surging with anger.
Of course, he knew that Corick's abilities had been exhausted, and that all areas had been searched, including the settlements. There are thirteen large and small settlements in this area, and friction will inevitably arise when the paladins and knights want to search inside. There are a lot of Protoss warriors here, they are brave and bloodthirsty, even in the face of the judgment of the Paladin Knights whose equipment strength is obviously not at the same level, there are still many people who dare to roar in front of them, and there are even those who fight with them. In the sudden clashes, three knights had already been hit, two of whom were killed. The Protoss' energy weapons aren't vegetarians after all!
Not only Kevin, but the rest of the paladins are very angry, and of course they will not show mercy to those who dare to roar, they are used to using bullets to educate people living in the wilderness to be obedient. As a result, as a few as thirty or fifty people died in these settlements, as many as more than a hundred or ten. As for the Protoss colony that dared to take the lead in starting a war, it was not included in the statistics, and that Protoss colony had been turned into a graveyard by the angry ruling Paladin's Gate. Of course, their price came at the cost of the lives of two knights.
At this time, Kevin immediately ordered Corick, who had run out of energy, to use the energy detection ability again, but Corick was reluctant to do so, and said two sentences, and the annoyed Kevin directly scolded him a few words, and then Kevin and Corick fell out.
Corick, the only one who could find Zhang Yuan, immediately did not cooperate, and did not find the target for several days, and Kevin, who was a little lost, began to issue instructions to all the four paladins who went out to search, asking them to abandon the search and return to the temporary base. Kevin was ready to abandon the search. Unlike Bruneina, he is careful to know when to give up.
This is an abandoned and flattened mine, there were no gaps and caves, but Zhang Yuan's figure slowly came out of the smashed ruins. He slowly inserted his hand into the loose dirt, and when he pulled it out, he had an extra handcuff.
Holding the weapon, Zhang Yuan suddenly froze. Just ahead, a knight came over!
This knight Hu also seemed to be good at concealment and disguise, and there was no sound when he moved, and Zhang Yuan did not notice anything unusual in his perception. And Zhang Yuan's entire process of crawling out of the soil was completely silent, so the knight did not find Zhang Yuan. So two people just like that, without warning, they saw each other at the same time.
Zhang Yuan's body leaned back quickly, and he raised his wrist to design! The knight rolled from his body to the flank, raising his wrist to shoot. Both of them are very fast, the difference is that Zhang Yuan is holding an updated mechanical handcuff in his hand, while the knight is holding an energy handcuff in his hand. The knight had already aimed at Zhang Yuan's heart in an instant.
Both pulled the trigger almost at the same time! The bullet whistle sounded almost at the same time, and sparks erupted from Zhang Yuan and Knight Hu at the same time, and their bodies involuntarily fell backwards.
With this shot, both of them aimed at each other's hearts, and both hit each other's protective armor, but neither of them could break through the armor's protection. However, the huge impact of the bullet inevitably caused severe pain to the two people.
"Am I hurt?" This thought flashed through the knight's heart again, and he subconsciously felt the state of his chest, and made an evasive action. The knight Hu thankfully didn't feel the hollowness that was enough to make people collapse! This situation made the knight Hu calm down a little, his right hand had already completed the adjustment instinctively, and the mouth of the gun was aimed at Zhang Yuan's forehead.
In the eyes of the knight's servant, Zhang Yuan's head was always on his shooting route from beginning to end, without any dodge movements. But this discovery did not bring him the slightest joy, and in that brief moment, the knight Hu Cong realized that he had wasted the time of his first attack by making an evasive move.
Zhang Yuan had already pulled the trigger, and the knight's head shattered in response. If he had given up his evasive maneuvers the second time he aimed, perhaps the outcome would have been different with the energy weapon's rate of fire and accuracy being a little higher than that of the mechanical handguns. But there are no ifs and bolts to die.
Zhang Yuan was silent, withdrew the energy handcuff from his waist, and took out anti-materiel snipers, bullets, and tools from the soil, and did not clean up the scene, let alone move anything from the knight's body, so he moved quickly, and soon disappeared into the vast mist.
This is a lone knight's servant, and after his death, it is determined that the paladin will arrive in a very short time. Therefore, Zhang Yuan no longer retained, and began to run towards the vast grassland in the northwest at the highest speed that he could sustain. According to Telles, there is a large area of no man's land. Since it is a no-man's land, the Ruling Paladin should not have the corresponding information about that area. In that strange and vast grassland, Zhang Yuan was willing to compare patience with the adjudicating paladin again.
Ten minutes later, Kevin, Corick, and the four paladins had arrived at the scene of the incident, while the rest of the knights' followers were still on their way.
Kevin grimaced as he looked at the soil that had been turned up in the abandoned mineshaft. He never imagined that Zhang Yuan would avoid detection by burying himself in the tunnel in the soil. Zhang Yuan in the soil must have some kind of function similar to hibernation, which can greatly reduce the activity of his body, so that the portable multi-functional life detector held by the Holy Horse will be ineffective.
Just as Kevin, who felt fooled, felt deeply humiliated, Corick, who was inspecting the knight's corpse, suddenly burst out with a scream, and he muttered, "Oh my God, it's a mechanical handcuff!" He actually used a mechanical handcuff! ”
Kevin suppressed his anger and asked in a slower tone, "The list in the Silver Ball Base already states what weapon he is holding, you idiot!" He shouldn't have run far to sense his whereabouts? ”
Corick rolled his eyes and said unceremoniously, "No!" Even if I can, I won't use my abilities anymore. Truth be told, I'm tired of working with self-righteous guys like you, and I think it's time for you to declare the operation a failure! Let the headquarters send someone else! ”
Kevin's face was so blue that he wanted to crush Corick's tender head with his bare hands, but his reason, which always prevailed, stopped him. Corick exclaimed again, "Ah! Oh, my God! This guy is to my liking and uses the best guns. This lad is not something that Big Stupid Bear can chase. ”
"Shut up!" Kevin was like an enraged lion, completely lost his restraint and roared suddenly! The right hand hanging at his side is clenched into a fist, and his knuckles rattle. Corick crossed his arms and had an expression of "you move and I'll try". The other four paladins also looked at Kevin in surprise, and the bodies of two of them, who majored in fighting genes, began to swell, obviously improving their abilities, and if Kevin really did it in front of them, they were going to intervene.
Corick's pupils sunken in deep dark circles glowed strangely, and he sneered: "Lieutenant Kevin, don't think that with the Ottoman family as the backing, you can do whatever you want. There are four paladins present, and they won't watch you kill me. If you can't kill me today, then the story between us is very long. According to the regulations, as a lieutenant, you can retire after five years, and hopefully you can find a quiet place to retire after retirement. Of course, that place must be very secret and not be found by me. Do you say yes? Lieutenant Lord! ”
Corick repeatedly emphasized the word lieutenant, Kevin's face was hard to see, and his body under the uniform flickered and swelled, constantly expanding and contracting, which was a precursor to the imminent activation of his ability. Of course, Kevin knew that Corick, who was already a second lieutenant of the Paladin before he was forty years old, and who had strengthened the third-order ability, would definitely have a rank and ability far superior to him in the future.
People are gifted, and people's gifts are different. It's not that with infinite resources, such as gene-enhancing potions and formulation abilities, one can endlessly develop in various abilities.
