Chapter Seventy-Eight: Killing Intent
Updated: 2012-08-11
Lan Qi is 50 years old, and he is a black man. Because he was born with white hair and white beard, he was nicknamed "Bald Eagle". But the nickname doesn't just refer to his looks, it also alludes to his eagle-sharp eyes. In addition to the criterion of every shot, Lan Qi has an almost innate keen insight into the unknown, which is why he was able to wander the southwest land for nearly five years without becoming a monster food.
Lan Qi's ability is a fifth-order sniper mastery, and this ability can barely be regarded as a master among ordinary organizations and abilities. But in Elk Town, where adventurers have an average seventh-order ability, Lan Qi is pitifully weak. But many people who were stronger than him died, but the bald eagle was still alive. Lan Qi naturally has his own way of survival, that is, not to do things beyond his own ability.
In the past five years, he has been haunted on the edge of the southwestern land. This area covers tens of thousands of square kilometers and has become a buffer zone between Elk Town and the Southwest. While most of the maps in the grey belt are already well known to adventurers, many of the species and resources are not taken seriously by adventurers. In their minds, they have long believed that great wealth can only be discovered from deeper unknowns.
The bald eagle fixed his eyes on the gray belt, he was well aware of his abilities, and even the survival of this gray belt was quite difficult, let alone the unrecognized areas. In the past five years, Lan Qi has unearthed a lot of valuable information in this gray belt, but he knows very well that he cannot bring these precious resources out of Elk Town alone.
So he chose another way to make money, and that was to sell the information in taverns. As it turned out he was right, the gray zone was far safer than the uncharted, though the information provided by Lanqi could no more resources than the occasional return from the unknown. However, the scarce production of resources in the unknown area, coupled with the huge danger, made Lan Qi's information extremely popular.
The information fee for more than half a month alone has made Lan Qi's deposit close to seven figures. And this money is not prepared for himself by Lan Qi, the Parkland chaebol has paid him enough retirement expenses for him to live happily for the rest of his life. Bald Eagle retired and still toiled to earn money, but for the sake of his son Kabu.
The fifth-order sniper specialization is already the limit of what Lan Qi can achieve, and his son Kabu showed a rare talent in the perception domain at a young age, and now he has become a tracking expert for Sauron, the first in line to the Pakland chaebol. There is no doubt that Kabu's future will be even greater than that of Lanqi, and every penny that Bald Eagle has earned so hard in the southwest will be given to Kabu to spend on the cost of formulating to improve his abilities.
He poured all his heart and soul into his son.
Lan Qi was ready to leave Elk Town, and the valuable information had been almost sold, and he had no reason to stay in the town. Today, after selling a piece of information about Zuihou, Bald Eagle ordered himself to be pregnant with haode whiskey as a trip to leave for himself.
Slowly tasting the amber liquid in his arms, a young soldier pushed open the door to the tavern and rushed towards him in a panic. The sniper expert's keen perception immediately noticed that something was wrong, and Lan Qi's hand had gently fallen to the desert eagle on his waist. His sniper rifle, the Falcon III, was not brought with him, but the automatic pistol of the old dynasty was enough for Lan Qi to handle any situation.
"Mr. Lanqi......" The soldier came to the bar, gasping and calling the name of the bald eagle.
Lan Qi said lazily: "My intelligence has been sold, if you want news, go and report to other intelligence merchants." ”
"What do you say? Mr. Lanch, I am coming to you on behalf of His Excellency Sauron. ”
The soldier stood up, and Lan Qi saw that his tactical uniform had the insignia of the Parkland chaebol on it. Bald Eagle's heart jumped heavily for no reason, he dropped his wine and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
Sauron would never send a man all the way to Elk Town for no reason to find a retired sniper expert, and Lance couldn't find a reasonable reason other than his son Kabu.
"Mr. Lanch, I'm sorry to tell you bad news. Lord Sauron's tracking expert, your son, Mr. Kab, was killed on a mission two months ago!"
"What?"
The bald eagle roared, and the ever-quiet adventurer suddenly became excited, and the others all cast strange glances.
"What mission? How did Kabu die? Killed by a monster?"
For Lan Qi, Kabu is the continuation and hope of his life. Although Lan Qi knew in his heart that there was no such thing as safety in the wilderness, and Kabu could die in some ruin at any time, Lan Qi worked hard to make money in order to improve his son's ability to ensure his life. But Bald Eagle never thought that Ka'b would leave him so soon.
"Mr. Kabu was killed by a paranormal named Zero, here's a video you can watch. The soldier casually pulled out the tactics board and pulled up a video from it.
This image is a documentary clip of Zero's rampage, and the Blood Rider will record the process of the mission when he goes out on a mission. In case you die in battle, you can provide the necessary information support for the task takeover. And the video of Kabu being killed by Zero was also recorded by the Zhi Brain that Sauron was carrying, and the clip that Lan Qi saw now was edited from the Zhi Brain's record.
In the picture, Zero resembles a humanoid beast, and at a speed of 5,000 frames per second, the brain can barely capture his movements. The moment he watched as the staccato afterimage blinked through Sauron's defenses, and then approached Kabu. His son was thrown out like a puppet, and when he landed, his head was twisted 180 degrees, and his twisted neck couldn't survive no matter how he looked at it.
From Zero Rampage to Kabu's killing, the whole process didn't even take 5 seconds. Lan Qi couldn't help but calm down while being angry.
Undoubtedly, the zero in the picture is powerful. According to Lan Qi's experience, Zero has at least the ability to strengthen Liliang and agility around the sixth order. If Lan Qi lets zero get close, he will inevitably be killed in seconds without any suspense. But in Lan Qi's mind, Zero is not strong enough to be absolutely overwhelming, which means that both traps and snipers can take out this opponent who is slightly stronger than himself.
"Give me his information!
In the simple words, it revealed Lan Qi's strong killing intent.
Dozens of kilometers away, Zero in the wilderness outside Fury Reef City felt a chill at the same time, just like the bad feeling when he was being targeted by a sniper rifle, which made Zero instantly lie down. It was only after a few moments that he was sure that there were no snipers within two kilometers that he stood up.
Zero silently looked in the direction where the chill was coming, and a bolt of lightning exploded from time to time in the thick radiant clouds in the southwest sky.
The storm is coming!
