Chapter 066 Good Marksmanship
Snapped!
Clap clap clap!
Five sharp, short gunshots, like firecrackers, shattered the tranquility of the night sky.
Almost instantly, within a one-kilometer radius of the campfire, no fewer than ten scavengers panicked and scrambled back into their vehicles, starting their cars and fleeing the eye of the "storm."
The seals, which were scanning their surroundings, also turned to look at the sound the instant they heard the gunshot.
Then, 20 meters away, the burly man who was grabbing number 3994 by the collar suddenly collapsed to the ground, convulsing as if he had been electrocuted.
"you…"
boom! ! !
Another gunshot rang out, clearly different from the previous five.
It is more profound, and its lingering sound is longer.
At the same time, a burst of fire erupted from the back of the pickup truck, followed by a dark figure leaping out and rapidly approaching the seal.
As they approached, they rapidly pulled the trigger, unleashing bursts of fire accompanied by deafening bangs.
...
"Ya...sha..."
...
In the blink of an eye, the sea lion, riddled with bullets, lay on the ground in a pool of dark green blood, filled with resentment.
I tried my best to open my eyes and lift my head.
It seemed as if it wanted to take one last look at the jade, or perhaps just one last glimpse of that dark figure.
His hand, however, silently reached for the pocket on his side...
boom!
Gunshots rang out again, and the bullets struck the seal's right arm precisely.
Lu Chen gripped the gun with both hands, strode to the sea dog's side, and fired several more shots in quick succession.
Lu Chen stopped pulling the trigger only when green "blood" began to pump out of the hole in the seal's forehead.
Take a deep breath, stretch out your leg, and carefully kick the seal's right arm away a little;
Upon seeing the grenade and confirming that the fuse hadn't been pulled, I crouched down and gently picked it up.
He immediately stood up, raised his gun, and went to the side of the burly man and number 3994.
"Not completely dead."
Yu, who had originally hidden behind the pickup truck, now stood in front of the burly man, holding her small Baghg.
These words prompted Lu Chen to pull the trigger without hesitation, firing another shot at the burly man's head.
boom! ! !
...
……
Gunshots echoed through the night sky.
The smell of gunpowder, along with the stench of blood and engine oil, assaulted Lu Chen's face.
Yu seemed unfazed by the sight.
He checked the vital signs of the seal, the strong man, and No. 3994 with a normal expression.
Only after confirming that the seal and the strong man were dead, and that No. 3994 had also passed out, did he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Are you alright?"
As she spoke, she also set up a telescope in her hand and looked around.
Only after confirming that the scavengers who had been watching had retreated far away in fright from the gunshot did he put down his binoculars and look Lu Chen up and down.
Yu's original intention was to check if Lu Chen was injured anywhere.
But Lu Chen had a tense expression as he looked at the seal not far away, which was still bleeding green blood.
His face was deathly pale, and his expression shifted rapidly.
A moment later, he could no longer hold on and suddenly bent over, kneeling on one knee.
"Ugh~"
"Ugh~~~"
...
"Ugh! Ugh~~~~"
"Cough cough cough, vomit..."
……
From the moment Yu fired the shot that hit the strong man to Lu Chen's final shot, the entire process was over in just 30 seconds.
But Lu Chen vomited for several minutes.
After vomiting until his stomach was empty, only dry retching of sour water, Lu Chen finally collapsed to the ground, his legs giving way.
Yu, holding up her binoculars, handed the kettle to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen took it, gulped it down, rinsed his mouth, and spat it out.
He took another swig and then let out a long breath.
"You... have killed someone before?"
Yu kept the binoculars in front of her eyes, not even glancing at Lu Chen: "I am a scavenger."
"Even if you've never eaten pork, you've still seen a pig run, right?"
The casual remark left Lu Chen speechless for a moment, and he could only silently repeat the actions of tilting his head back to drink water and then tilting his head down to spit it out.
After a while, he finally managed to recover a little and forced himself to stand up.
"Let's proceed according to the original plan."
"I'll go keep watch, you handle the bodies."
As he spoke, Lu Chen didn't forget to glance at the sea lion one last time out of the corner of his eye.
Yu sighed softly, moved the binoculars away from her eyes, and turned to look at Lu Chen.
"No special precautions are needed."
"They've all run far away."
"Just keep a little attention."
After saying that, Yu Buwang forced a smile and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder.
"Good marksmanship."
"He was decisive enough in taking action."
"Get used to it, and you won't find it disgusting anymore."
"The people who die by our guns are more disgusting to look at while alive than when they die."
...
"Relax and don't overthink it."
"Time to get to work."
"We don't have much time left."
After offering Lu Chen some simple words of comfort, Yu handed him the binoculars and then busied herself with her own tasks.
First, drive the pickup truck to the campfire, with your back to the two corpses on the ground.
He then jumped onto the rear cargo box and pulled the metal chain down from the winch of the hydraulic tractor.
They hung the bodies on the seal and the strong man, then led them directly to the campfire and piled them together.
Then, holding one end of the chain, walk to number 3994.
After a moment's hesitation, he stopped hesitating.
Grasp the slanted steel pipe on the ground and insert it straight into the side of the chest of number 3994.
As expected, number 3994, despite being dealt a fatal blow, still showed no reaction.
Thinking back, I must have been tortured quite a bit before. Although I wasn't tortured to death, I was just 'not dead' at best.
The three corpses were piled up next to the campfire. Yu then drove the remaining three pickup trucks to the campfire.
Arrange the three cars in a shape resembling the three-pointed star emblem of Mercedes-Benz, turn on their headlights, and illuminate the surrounding area as much as possible.
...
After finishing all that, Yu walked to the campfire and followed Lu Chen's gaze to the huge bomb crater.
—The original small mound was blasted into a circular, bowl-shaped crater nearly 10 meters deep and 15 meters in radius.
The bottom and walls of the pit were densely packed with dozens of hibernation chambers.
A quick scan revealed no target hibernation pod.
Yu, however, still pouted with resentment.
"They were all ours to begin with."
"Now, we can only take two with us."
Beside him, Lu Chen, who had calmed down considerably, nodded in agreement.
These hibernation pods could have been taken back to the city by Lu Chen and Yu.
—At most, add another number, 3994.
Even if each side divides the dozens of hibernation pods in half, they can each get more than twenty.
"I'll go down and look."
With that, Lu Chen carefully slid down the edge of the pit.
Yu remained noncommittal, standing at the edge of the deep pit, slowly scanning his surroundings.
Only after discovering an area that appeared to be abnormal did they set up binoculars to take a look.
At the bottom of the pit, Lu Chen focused his exploration on the sides of the pit walls, on the hibernation chambers that were partially exposed and not yet fully excavated.
The small hibernation pod entrusted by Commissioner No. 9529 was the primary objective of their trip.
Under the current circumstances, if security conditions do not permit, it could even be the sole objective.
If they could find one, even just this small hibernation pod would satisfy Lu Chen and Yu.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Lu Chen did not find a significantly smaller hibernation chamber that matched the target's characteristics among the hibernation chambers on the side wall of the pit.
Left with no other option, they could only discuss with Yu about using a hydraulic tractor to move the hibernation chambers at the bottom of the pit a little bit.
Take a look at the small hibernation chamber; is it buried underneath?
