Two hours later, they finally reached their destination.

It was a relatively vast and desolate area, where half-man-tall thatch had flooded almost all the old roads, and the cracked earth was littered with strange, brightly colored brambles, and anyone who wandered the wilderness all year round knew that the slightest contamination of the soft spikes with red or purple could be fatal.

On the slope of the only slightly higher hill within a radius of ten miles, an ink-pupil-colored eyeball was staring motionlessly into the distance, and as the end of the line of sight extended, a slightly dilapidated settlement was revealed a kilometer away.

A heavy tawny blanket enveloped his body, allowing him to integrate perfectly with the surrounding rocks. He's been here for an unknown amount of time, or maybe just for a moment. But it blends perfectly with its surroundings, as if it was born here.

Taylor lay on his stomach, holding his breath, his gaze wandering with a subtle curiosity.

A piece of barrel moved left and right at indiscreable intervals under the blanket, which belonged to the old Russian-made Dragnov SVD sniper rifle. The gun is a good gun, and the ultimate range reaches four kilometers, but often snipers use it to control the enemy at an effective distance between 300 and 800 meters, and no matter how far it is, it is impossible to shoot, unless it is a madman. Of course, even a madman needs some good luck and an experienced observer to guide him with the help of a high-tech plug-in.

In the optical sight on the rack of Dragnov's gun, the appearance of the distant settlement was blurred, and the target in the crosshairs, a patrolling soldier with an automatic rifle, appeared the size of a sesame seed.

The 500-meter white light sight was used to deal with the enemy at a distance of 1,500 meters, and even Taylor felt that it was a bit too fantastical. But Ye Suqin insisted on this, he would not object, but observed with great interest.

The original plan was to let Sanborn drive to attract a group of "live targets", but Ye Suqin vetoed it, and in Taylor's impression, the kid said to him with a serious expression for the first time, he wanted to try.

Taylor shrugged his shoulders, for him, no matter what, the result didn't make any difference, even if he missed, damn it, he basically couldn't hit. But the sound of gunfire still attracts the attention of the other party.

He discovered an interesting phenomenon, Ye Suqin only used the optical sight to roughly look in the direction and shifted his gaze to the machine. on the sight. Hell, with the gun's mechanical crosshair, you might not even be able to hit a moving target at a distance of 100 meters. It's ridiculous like hitting mosquitoes with an anti-aircraft gun, and no one can do it unless you're lucky.

Just when he was thinking ridiculously, there was a bang, a huge gunshot roared, and he almost subconsciously picked up the high-powered telescope and looked into the distance, and the next second, an incredible scene happened.

Under the camera, the patrol militant suddenly burst into a bowl-sized penetrating hole in his chest, countless minced meat and blood clots were flying, and the whole person was driven by a huge inertia and fell towards the rear, there was nothing behind, and the railing the thickness of the baby's arm had long been broken, so he fell and fell to the ground, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

Taylor stared dumbfoundedly at the seventeen-year-old boy beside him, who had not yet reached his chin, and he was deeply shocked, and the expression on his face was intricate, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The settlement exploded, and countless men with guns came out of their humble dwellings, shouting from afar, climbed into two jeeps, drove out of the camp gates, one left and one right, and behind them, many more came out of the camp, wearing tattered slippers and dirty coats, shouting loudly, and flanked the hill without looking back.

Frequent gunfire began to ring out.

Most automatic rifles have a maximum range of about a kilometer, and in the face of the hill beyond sight, the result of indiscriminate shooting will not help at all except waste ammunition.

But the gunfire continued, not only the people in the two jeeps shooting wildly in this direction with their guns, but even those who came on foot behind were also shooting blindly.

On the hill, which is not high, the crisp sound of gunfire rang out again.

When a jeep that was rampage first, it suddenly lost control, and the front of the car shook irregularly from side to side twice, and in an instant, it fell sideways. The people in the car shouted and tried to escape from the car, some were quick to react, and some were slow to react. But jumping off a high-speed vehicle, on the ground full of thorns, stones, and ruins, life and death depend purely on luck.

In the field of vision, some people broke their legs after landing, which was still lucky, and some people hit their heads on the stone pillar when they landed, and they shattered into a lump in an instant, and they were unlucky enough to be crushed by the overturned car over the lower body, leaving only the upper body wailing in vain, climbing, leaving a long line of blood.

The jeep rolled four or five times in a row and then stopped, becoming a pile of smoking scrap metal, and the people who remained in the car were basically lucky, the fuel tank twisted and burst, and some gasoline was dumped, and after encountering an open flame, it burned violently, and everything around it began to burn and twist.

Another jeep went hand in hand almost subconsciously slammed on the brakes, and the driver had a look of consternation, panic and disbelief on his face. But in the next second, the windshield in front of him, which was already full of cracks due to lack of maintenance, turned into countless debris in an instant, and a bullet came at him in a reluctant manner.

Suddenly, there was a fist-sized hole in the driver's chest, which was overflowing with blood continuously, blood was constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his two hands were clutching the steering wheel, but there was no longer the slightest luster in his eyes, and he died.

The bullet penetrated the driver's seat and burrowed into the stomach of the shooter in the back, and the impulsive bullet swirled repeatedly in his stomach, wringing his large and small intestines into a mess. His hands were still on the body of the ordinary machine gun fixed to the roof of the car, and his body flew backwards under the kinetic energy of the bullet.

Click!

Brass-colored shells flew out of the shell throwing window, and the hot shells landed on the sand with a small sizzling sound.

Ye Suqin pushed a bullet into the chamber of the gun, then pulled the trigger, and seven hundred meters away, a man with a short body fell in response.

Click.

Bang!

He repeats the same action mechanically and coldly, loading the bullet, pulling the trigger, and reloading again, and so on. His expression did not change in the slightest from beginning to end, wooden, cold, revealing a morbid indifference and a madness hidden in the depths of his eyes.

Taylor felt his throat stir, and his hand subconsciously stroked the automatic rifle beside him. Although there are always one or two demons popping up in the wilderness from time to time, it seems that in this bad environment, this frequency is still accelerating, but putting yourself in their shoes, the impact of its senses is even stronger, and even a little ridiculous sense of immediacy.

Realizing that the situation was not good, the colony forces had already begun to retreat, but the way back, even if the most backward guy just now, wanted to go back now, he had to cross a distance of at least three hundred meters.

Naked exposure to the field of vision of a sharpshooter and crossing the death line of three hundred meters is a big test for any person.

"Let's go back!" Taylor patted him on the shoulder.

Ye Suqin stood up calmly, lifted his firearm, and followed behind Taylor without looking back.

A dozen corpses lay a full kilometer between the hill and the settlement, all of them in varying shapes of death, most of them sniped with sniper rifles.

There were still a few people running for their lives in the wasteland, apparently unaware that the elusive sniper had long since left.

Taylor stuffed his body into the passenger seat, his face a little depressed, and Sanborne, who had been waiting in the driver's seat, opened his mouth several times, but never spoke.

The three of them drove silently on the way back.

"Hey, boy," Tyro turned his head with a serious expression, "I regret it now, but I'll give you two choices." One, stay and be my adjutant, at your level, will mix well in this town. Of course, the downside is that it's only good to mix well in the town, and to be honest, you're a bit of a talent to stay, but for me, my next job will be much easier with you, after all, you know, I'm a security consultant appointed by the company, and my task is to ensure the safety of the town's perimeter, so I need to periodically clear the surrounding homeless forces, and your talent, compared to me, helps a lot. ”

Taylor paused for a moment, as if organizing the language, and then said slowly: "Second, you will still be sent to the academy at the company's headquarters according to the plan, and a little guy like you will be well welcomed and cared for there." ”

"I'm sure Sanborn told you something about the Academy last night, but this guy doesn't know much about it, and he probably can't describe it to you in detail, so I'll tell you about it now."

"The academy claims to be a training institution used by the company to train and build the backbone of the army, but it is not. Because if it is purely used to train the officer corps, there is no need to delay the opening of the first phase for three to five years. ”

As he spoke, Taylor lifted the hem of his clothes, revealing a body of tendons and eight-pack abs. The sharp-eyed Ye Suqin had already found something unusual in the criss-crossing muscle blocks.

It's a shallow scalpel scar.

"You can tell that my body has undergone some makeover," Taylor leaned back in his chair rather wistfully, "some rudimentary and terrible intensification surgery. To be honest, I don't have high expectations for my retirement in the future, I just hope they don't happen too often, after all. Neither coffee nor painkillers are cheap. ”

Taylor tilted his head and shook his head a little funny, and continued: "You should almost understand what I mean, yes, the academy is the seed field of the human body modification laboratory, and only after the selection of the academy can you be eligible to accept the company's expensive human body modification." ”

"Of course, you don't have to worry about one thing, it's not the physical function modification that directly acts on the body like me, or the genetic medicine that has an intermittent effect, it's a more high-tech, safer and no side effects, what does the industry jargon say," Taylor rubbed his hair a little anxiously, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I remember, yes, it's called Valhalla." ”

"Valhalla." Ye Suqin whispered a sentence, his eyes were full of confusion, this was the second time he had heard this word.

"A nanomachine that acts on the human body," Taylor said.

"Nanomachines?!" Ye Suqin tried his best to extract the relevant knowledge about nanomachines in his brain, and then found that it seemed that the nanomachines in his cognition may be quite different from the nanomachines in Taylor's mouth.

"Yes, you'll be different after being transformed," Taylor frowned, trying to choose the right metaphor for his scarce vocabulary, "yes...... It's almost like a superman. ”

"Superman?!" Ye Suqin was a little funny and a little ridiculous. He really couldn't imagine what kind of nanomachine would turn him into a superman?

Has Cartlet's technology reached this level?

Ye Suqin couldn't believe Taylor's words, even if he had been wandering in the wilderness for a short time, it could be seen that although Carteret was a super-large company, it was only slightly more than some multinational companies in the old era to adapt to the wilderness, rather than a cross-era technological advantage.

"That's why it's going to take three to five years," Taylor seemed to see the confusion in the other man's eyes, and explained a little, "The company needs this time to prepare resources and funds to buy potions from that damn mysterious organization." Taylor pursed his lips, "You know that Catrit is already a behemoth within a radius of two or three hundred miles, but Rao is so, and the resources produced by this vast land are only enough for the company to save up to buy three or four Valhalla potions every five years. ”

Ye Suqin stuck out his tongue in some surprise.

"So, those who can use them must be the elite of the elite." Tai Luo winked at Ye Suqin behind him, "Good luck little guy, but don't be too happy, there is no free lunch in the world." ”

"Every year, we will have twenty or thirty carefully selected players. Players, yes, you heard it right, it's the players, not the students, because everyone but you is a competitor, after all, there are only a few potions, and it is impossible to distribute them to everyone. ”

"The composition of these players is very complex, there are elite heirs from the top, there are the young generation leaders trained by the relevant departments of the company, and there are some good seedlings found in the wilderness, such as you. You will receive the best education and the most rigorous training in it, and you will need to go through layers of elimination and survive to be eligible for the ultimate glory. ”

"The competition inside is very cruel, and elimination often means death." Tai Luo stared straight into Ye Suqin's eyes and said.

"I'll choose the second option." Ye Suqin calmly replied, "I want to try!" ”

"Damn it!" Taylor slammed his fist on the dashboard, and although his expression looked annoyed, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
