Chapter 520: Invisible Sniper
"How can there be such a thing!"
At this time, Qiu Wuyi's mood is enough to be described by the word shock
The trapezoidal base, which has a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, is a mountain that has been dug out, and for some reason this strange shape was chosen, and the base is estimated to be between 30 and 40 kilometers thick, and the city on it is naturally slightly smaller than the base.
This should prove one thing, and that is that there may be people living in the floating city.
Perhaps for the ordinary way of thinking, since the active floating city will take the initiative to attack and hide its body, then there must be air thieves living there. Qiu Wuyi is not so sure, after witnessing several ancient relics that can act spontaneously without human manipulation, the suspicion of the floating city is also a matter of course, many things actually do not need to be manipulated by anyone, they just follow some rules to act.
It is very likely that this is just a defensive weapon of the Air Pirates, and their people may not be here at all.
"My name is Qiu Wuyi! I'm from the Earldom of Morning Star in the north of the Earthquake Country! I came to visit after hearing the news of the Guikong Bandits, I have no intention of fighting, please allow me to land!"
Out of politeness, Qiu Wuyi didn't care whether the other party could hear it or not, so he shouted in the loudest voice.
No response.
There is no sound to indicate that you can land, and there is no voice to show the meaning of refusal, obviously there should be a voice here, and when it is your turn to ask, it is like being angry and falling into a deep silence.
So Qiu Wuyi decided to take silence as a silent permission, and flew straight towards the floating city, while continuing to keep a close watch on everything, because the other party also had the possibility of a sudden attack, and even directly sniped at the distant flagship.
The closer you get, the more majestic the floating city becomes, not to mention the city itself, even the base that holds the city is already extremely extraordinary, just like the legendary magician cut off the mountain, and then turned upside down to settle his residence, the base that was originally part of the mountain is full of mysteries, there is no propulsion of the air flow, completely suspended in the air, the principle of which is not clear.
The slope of the trapezoidal base is extremely gentle, and there are some common crops planted on the gentle mountain ground, and there is even a water source, which seems to have defied the laws of nature, but such a large thing floats in the air...... Who cares what the laws of nature.
Above the base area, the outer edge of the floating city is a high city wall, higher than the city itself, and the extremely thick city wall is also an architectural style that has never been seen before, perhaps not so much like a city as more like a prison.
It's good to have a thicker wall, but the whole city will fly, and there should be better defenses than stacking walls, such as protective shields, and it seems that there is no need to use such an ancient method.
Qiu Wuyi approached the part of the city wall, landed slightly and rested for a while, and did not enter the city immediately.
The scenery outside the city is also not bad, with trees, flowers, and even some animals, which is relatively closer to nature and less like an artificially set environment.
However, along the way, Qiu Wuyi did not find out where the attacking battery was, and he also did not see the machine guns set up, maybe they were hidden in some places that could be closed, and they would not be exposed to outsiders in normal times.
"Did anyone open the door!"
Qiu Wuyi strode towards the direction of the suspected city gate, and when he got closer, he found that it was indeed the city gate, at least two hundred meters high The giant city gate could not be smaller than the larger walls, and the thick rust covering the city gate proved its age, but the edge of the city gate did have traces of opening, which means that it should not be an empty city now.
Squeak-I don't know how heavy the city gate slowly opened a gap, naturally it could not be opened by manpower, Qiu Wuyi's eyes passed through the crack in the door, but the opposite side seemed to be a dead world.
The buildings of different colors are made of ancient square bricks, the scale of the city is very large, there is a long street opposite the city gate, and the buildings on both sides of the street seem to be some shops, because most of the signs are hung on the doors, but the handwriting on the signs has been weathered or rusted, and nothing can be recognized, and the strange thing is that the buildings themselves are very intact.
Qiu Wuyi knew that with his own knowledge, he could not verify what style these buildings belonged to, and one thing he could confirm was that he had never encountered anything similar, not even in books or some records.
The streets are almost spotless, in stark contrast to the tattered plaques, and even an uninhabited empty city will be covered with dust after decades, hundreds of years, so the streets must have been cleaned, which means that it should be inhabited.
However, so far, not half a figure can be seen, and even the breath of a person cannot be perceived.
The former is okay to say, but the latter makes Qiu Wuyi's gaze become cautious.
A city is completely different from "inhabited" and "uninhabited for a long time", even if there are no people in an inhabited city for a while, the temperament of the city is completely different from the latter, and people's vitality will float in the city, and it will take years to completely dissipate.
And this city is obviously a dead city with no people at all, but there are a lot of artificial things, yes, like a specially built exercise area during military operations.
When the energy in the body was restored to about eighty percent, he finally took the first step towards the spacious avenue at the city gate.
"Anyone!"
Also out of politeness, Qiu Wuyi shouted again at the door, of course, it can't be anyone, there must be someone hiding in a dark place to monitor everything, but it hasn't surfaced yet.
The shouts were not answered, and Qiu Wuyi knew that the other party would probably not be able to let himself enter the city safely, so he was ready to fight at the beginning.
Whoosh - Sure enough, the moment Qiu Wuyi's figure appeared from under the cover of the city gate, an extremely thin but extremely sharp dark light was aimed directly at his forehead.
Sniper?
Although Qiu Wuyi was surprised in his heart, he had experienced a series of artillery attacks outside the city, and this level of "greeting" was quite reasonable.
Quickly lowering his body to avoid the oncoming blow, Qiu Wuyi dodged to the side of the city wall, waiting for the opponent's second attack.
A small, not-so-obvious hole appeared in the ground, and there was still a trace of white smoke from the hole, no doubt a firearm attack.
With such a high level of technology, it was naturally feasible to use firearms, and after waiting for a while, Qiu Wuyi did not perceive the other party's next attack intention.
Bang - Qiu Wuyi decided to take the initiative to act, and suddenly slammed his left foot on the ground, rushing towards the nearest building, trying to find a suitable cover. This is also a previous experience, if the other party is a person who is good at firearms, then it is best not to expose their backs or blind spots.
At the moment when Qiu Wuyi's figure had just shaken, a second bullet also flew from afar, as if someone hiding in the shadows was waiting for this opportunity.
The path of the bullet was quite cunning, and Qiu Wuyi's route and target direction had been calculated before the shot, so the bullet was not aimed at Qiu Wuyi himself, but the trigger that was pulled after calculating his displacement, speed, and even the time required for an instantaneous reaction.
When Qiu Wuyi realized how dangerous the other party's shot was, his body had already rushed forward, and he barely had time to react in his head. The trajectory of the bullet and the trajectory of the body have crossed into one point.
And the bullets were still flying towards Qiu Wuyi's forehead, and the purpose was to kill with one blow.
Poof.
The dull sound was the sound of a bullet drilling into a muscle, and the moment he noticed the bullet flying, Qiu Wuyi understood that he couldn't dodge this sniper at all, as if he had actively hit the bullet, so he could only raise his arm to block his forehead and let the bullet hit his arm.
The bullet not only pierced Qiu Wuyi's arm, but also shattered a few thin ripples before.
Bang!
The small explosion made Qiu Wuyi a little dizzy, but his steps did not slow down at all, and he kicked open a shop at the door, and rushed in a little embarrassed, and the door closed with it.
The bullet would explode, and the force of the explosion almost blew off the wrist part of his left hand, Qiu Wuyi untied the string that was tied to his arm at the moment of the explosion, and suddenly blood flowed out like a stream, and the bright red muscles squirmed and fused together, and the injury was controlled in the blink of an eye.
The reason why I wrapped my arm with a string was because it was in front of me at that time, and if blood spilled out, it might affect my vision.
If it weren't for the release of a lightless shield at the moment when the bullets flew, the injuries might not have been so serious.
"Bullets can penetrate my defenses...... It's amazing. ”
Qiu Wuyi pressed his injured hand and leaned sideways against the wall, observing the situation outside from the reflection of a mirror in the room.
The defense of the shield of light is already very strong, but before this small bullet, it is like a blank paper, and at the moment of being hit by the bullet, he also made a physical defense, everything is useless, maybe the bullet is weird, but fortunately, the lethality is not too great, if you don't shoot the vital point, it should be no problem, and now Qiu Wuyi himself is not sure whether there is a vital point on his body, just judging by his previous experience.
What really puzzled Qiu Wuyi was that he didn't find any targets after two snipers, and before that, he could at least detect the opponent's breath, but now he couldn't even grasp the distance of the other party.
The enemy seems to be invisible, and there is no certainty in the number of people, as if you are in a complex battlefield where you can't see the enemy.
Bang.
The piercing sound of gunfire interrupted Qiu Wuyi's musings.
