Chapter 819: Sniping
[Thank you Brother Xiang for your super red envelope!]
This was the end of the Shadow Canyon, and the cliffs above narrowed and closed in front of Nicholas. The ground was already soaked with a large amount of water vapor, and the air that came out of the cavern in front of him was moist and cold, and Nicholas judged that there was a body of water inside, and the area was not small. The rookie was thinking about why he would come to this place, and suddenly Nicholas figured it out, that is, the other party had already discovered him.
A vigilant rookie, Nicholas thought. It should be that he is injured, although he has tried to lighten his movements as much as possible when approaching from behind, but the injury will inevitably implicate some places. For example, the movement of limbs and even the operation of energy, but his existence can be found, which shows that the rookie is not simple. The cave was dark, like a monster's mouth waiting for its prey to come to the door, and a hint of murderous aura wafted out of the air.
Nicholas thought of the sniper rifle behind the other party, in other words, the rookie was waiting in the dark for the opportunity to snipe at the moment.
The Prophet laughed, it was a fun game. Nicholas thought, in fact, this guy had already lost from the beginning, because the slap he slapped on his back had actually sown the "seed". At the right time, the seed will take root and grow into a tree of death that hangs its target.
He is not afraid of the dark, and those who perceive the domain have the method of scouting the environment. In the face of darkness, the easiest way is to switch infrared vision. Nicholas did the same, and the sight changed. The world was painted with a layer of red light, and in the red light, the things in the cave were delicately visible. As Nicholas thought, there was a vast lake in the cave, and I don't know how deep the tunnel was, but it was overflowing, and the water was quite abundant. Several tributaries were branched off to the west of the lake, which diverted water from the lake in other directions, and the Prophet guessed that some of the tributaries should pass through Dawn. Then as long as the city drills a few pumping deep wells in the direction of the branch meridian, and then supports the water purification unit and other equipment, it can provide a steady stream of water purification for the city.
In the new era, with water there will be everything.
Nicholas glanced around the cave, and there were a few raised rocks in the cavern, and even a few pillars connected to the roof of the cave, which were good places to hide. The Prophet began to walk towards the cave, deliberately stomping the ground to make a sound. Sure enough, as he expected, the wisp of murderous intent in the air suddenly became a lot stronger, and the rookie had already discovered his arrival. It's just a guy who can't hide his murderous spirit, no matter how strong he is, he's just a rookie.
The position he was walking in was deliberately calculated, right in the blind spot of those hiding places. If you want to attack him, then the opponent will have to change positions, and no matter which position you change, you will be exposed to Nicholas. Of course, in the eyes of the other party, the cave is still dark, so the rookie will think that he has not been exposed. When he left the hiding place, it was when Nicholas made a move.
The hunter and the prey will exchange identities at this moment.
Just as he was about to enter the cavern, Nicholas suddenly felt himself stumble over something, and the sound of something breaking was heard in the air.
The Prophet's hair suddenly exploded, and he didn't care about any game at the moment, and threw himself into the hole with all his might.
Explosions appeared on both sides of the entrance, and the flames of the explosion illuminated the entrance of the cave red. But in Nicholas's eyes, it was like a sun falling in front of him, and he was activating infrared vision, and the sudden appearance of the fire, the brightness of which was magnified countless times in his pupils. The prophet snorted and closed his eyes, but his pupils ached.
At this moment, the killing machine skyrocketed.
Nicholas had barely had time to open a defensive force field when he heard a dull sound of gunfire. Immediately sketching the pattern of the revolver in his mind, Nicholas's face changed color. Stopping, he rolled on the spot, and a blazing line of fire plowed through his original position, sweeping at the hole on the left-hand side, blasting large shards of stone to fall off and shatter. At this moment, there was another sharp whistling sound.
The whistling sound rang out continuously, and after the revolver gun, Nicholas could hear the sound of the MLRS firing from the nest. He cursed, pressed his hands weakly, and the continuous concussive force field spread out, detonating small rockets in the air. Feeling the concussion of the explosion and the scorching wind, the Prophet breathed a sigh of relief. The opponent rode lightly, and there must not be much ammunition for this kind of heavy force, so it would be much easier to deal with it if he blocked this wave of fierce offensive.
At this moment, there was a pinprick pain in the left temple. Nicholas was awe-struck in his heart, knowing that the other party's sniper had finally arrived. In the midst of all his hesitation, his left arm still hurting, and then the rough sound of the sniper rifle echoed through the cave, and Nicholas was still wounded by the other man's shot.
Judging by the sound of gunshots, the other side is using an old-fashioned gun type. If it were a new-age high-powered firearm, it wouldn't sound so loud at all. Conversely, when the energy-driven firing pin hits the bullet, Nicholas is captured by the sudden energy reaction, which is much easier for the Prophet to deal with. Nicholas believed that with the technology currently being displayed in Dawning City, there must be a lot of such sniper rifles.
But the other party still used old-fashioned firearms, which must have been deliberately aimed at themselves. After figuring this out, Nicholas's breath turned cold, and he had already put away the mood of the game, intending to kill the sniper seriously. The opponent's performance was no longer something that a rookie could do, and he retracted his previous judgment and raised it to the level of an opponent who needed to be killed seriously.
"Come out, rat hiding in the shadows. Nicholas said lightly, he opened his eyes, and there was a bloodshot around his pupils. But he could already see, and the infrared vision was still activated, so he saw a bubble on the west side of the lake, and then someone with a sniper rifle swam to the shore and climbed up.
"It's funny that it's hidden in the water. ”
Water is a special medium, and to a large extent, water is able to block or disperse the conduction of capacity. For example, it isolates most of the senses of the able, making it an excellent hiding place. Nicholas looked to the side directly facing the hole, where the knight's previous locomotive was parked, with a miniature miniature revolver cannon at the front and rocket slots hanging on either side.
It is conceivable that its weapon system should be able to be activated remotely, and the locomotives of the new era generally have added a simple intelligent operating system, which greatly liberates the hands of the locomotive owner, and can cooperate with the locomotive's weapon system to make many tactical actions that cannot be done in ordinary times.
For example, attacking Nicholas with the locomotive's weapon system, while the sniper puts a cold gun in another place that he doesn't expect. To be honest, he almost succeeded, if Nicholas wasn't high-rank.
The knight who crawled out of the water had a strange posture, as if he was being pushed by an invisible man. It's full of reluctance, but it's helpless, so the posture of walking is indescribably weird. Nicholas sneered and said, "It seems that you should be a sniper cultivated by Dawning City, not bad." Whether it is tactics or the grasp of sniper points, it can be called first-class. It's a pity that it's still a little bit worse to use against me. ”
"You should be strange now, don't you?" Nicholas looked at his left hand and frowned. There was no more blood flowing, and he could only reach out to cover the outside of the wound, creating a force field of attraction that sucked the warhead inside. As he did so, he continued, "Didn't your commander tell you that I have the ability to control other people's bodies, so it's normal that your body and mind are not in harmony right now. Hey, damn it, it's still a dirty bomb!"
Seeing the metal warhead that had fallen to the ground coated with a strange layer of fluorescence, Nicholas knew that it was a dirty bomb. A dirty bomb is a deliberately soaking a bullet in nuclear waste to fill it with radiation. If you hit the target with such a bullet, even those with abilities below the eighth order will have an abnormal headache. Of course, for a high-level like Nicholas, the energy drawn from space is enough to purify the radiation in the body, but the process is a little more troublesome.
But this sniper's unscrupulous approach made his killing intent even stronger. There is nothing scarier than a killer who is only trying to win, and who does not speak of principles. Nicholas even lost interest in playing with his prey, sighed, and said to the knight, "Kill yourself." Right in front of me, no, wait. Take off your tactical helmet and then swallow your gun and kill yourself, well, this is my trial for you. ”
The knight did so, and with one hand he removed his tactical helmet and threw it to the ground, revealing a rare black hair. Nicholas's heart suddenly beat vigorously, and the knight suddenly raised his head, and in the eyes of the prophet, a pair of golden eyes of the other party were spewing thin flames, which was a phenomenon of energy movement to the extreme. At the same time, the man's face overlapped with the information of someone in Nicholas's mind, and the prophet exclaimed, "Is it you?"
The other party swung his sniper rifle sideways, and replaced the answer with action. Being able to move freely under the ability of complete control means that the other party is at least the tenth order, so the identity is naturally about to come out. Except for the slight discrepancies in the color of his eyes and the information, this man was no different from the man who had already been on Andre's must-kill list.
The butt of the sniper rifle swept across, and Nicholas leaned back. Tiptoe to the ground and jerk back. However, after a swing, the sniper rifle fell to the ground, and Zero was gone. Nicholas's body stiffened, and someone suddenly lightly touched his back, followed by a spiral of energy ripples through his chest, and Nicholas's shirt was completely shattered. The Prophet was even more violently shaken, and blood spurted out irresistibly.
The seemingly frivolous attack actually caused him so much damage that it was impossible to measure in numbers. Piercing through the spiral ripples in the chest, the energy is highly concentrated and the explosive power is amazing. What's more, Nicholas's defensive field is completely defenseless under this attack, which means that this ripple also has excellent armor-piercing ability.
Eating this coldly, Nicholas was injured and injured. He pressed his hand to his chest, threw himself forward, and then panted and turned. Stretched out his hand and wiped the blood from his mouth, and said coldly: "Zero, you are also a tenth-order powerhouse, and you still use such methods?"
Zero didn't react to Nicholas's rebuke in the slightest, and he said lightly: "In the face of an eleventh-order who stupidly attacks from the front, then I must have burned out my head." Besides, try to level the playing field for yourself, and I don't think there's anything wrong with using some means. ”
