Chapter 66 - 66 66 Ambush

?66: Chapter 66 Ambush 66: Chapter 66 Ambush “Everyone, don’t spread out too far.

Stay in small teams and be careful.

Search slowly.”

Lin Zinuo issued orders with utmost caution.

“Understood.”

All present responded in turn.

As they searched bit by bit, they found no monsters, and at this time, they had already reached the wooden crates.

Each of these crates was sealed tightly, with warning signs plastered on them.

“Sister Zinuo?

These?”

Zhou Qian tried to ask.

“Pry them open!”

Lin Zinuo directly shouted to Qin Wang.

“Understood, leave it to us!”

Qin Wang and several life players immediately pulled out small crowbars to pry the crates open.

However, the crates were not easily pried open due to their tight seals, requiring considerable effort.

Qin Wang and the others turned red in the face as they gritted their teeth and pried forcefully!

Yet at that moment, pairs of blood-red eyes slowly opened on the dim steel beams above their heads, and pale figures silently began to expose themselves bit by bit.

Their biting gazes and ferocious mouths slowly widened.

Zhou Qian lowered her voice to consult with Lin Zinuo, “Sister Zinuo, we’ve pretty much seen all there is to this base, and we haven’t spotted any traces of monsters.

Could there be something fishy here?”

“What are you suggesting?”

Lin Zinuo inquired.

“I don’t doubt our comrades who stayed behind; they undoubtedly sacrificed themselves.

But the Legion Leader must have cleared out the original monsters at the base, and it must have been monsters that got in later and killed them.

However, is there also a possibility?”

“Are you suggesting that after killing people, those monsters left?”

Lin Zinuo voiced the thought Zhou Qian was hinting at.

“Yes, that’s what I’m thinking because we’ve checked roughly.

There really isn’t any sign of monsters, and normally, if there were monsters inside the base, they would have attacked us by now.

I think we should take over this base and quickly close the wide-open doors.”

Zhou Qian replied with a nod.

“Your point isn’t entirely without reason; such a thing might have happened.”

Lin Zinuo did not entirely reject the idea, but she didn’t let her guard down either.

Bang!

At that moment, the sealed crates were pried open.

Rows of brand-new QBZ-171 automatic rifles and hand grenades came into view.

“It’s weapons!

We’ve struck gold.”

Qin Wang and others shouted excitedly.

Lin Zinuo glanced at these weapons, indeed what they were meant to recover, and her tense heart relaxed somewhat.

With no monsters appearing so far, it seemed quite possible that, as Zhou Qian guessed, the monsters had already left after killing the people.

If that was truly the case, it was incredibly fortunate.

They would have retaken the base, and she could successfully recover all the weapons, effectively completing the anticipated mission.

Thinking of this, Lin Zinuo felt a surge of joy, but she didn’t let her guard down completely.

She addressed everyone present, “Everyone, take inventory of the weapons and load their magazines, just in case there’s an emergency.

Li Han, you lead the team to take over the mechas!”

“Yes!”

Li Han left with two team members.

Originally, there were five pilots, but two had unfortunately perished in an attacked vehicle en route.

Now that they had the weapons, people also began to discuss among themselves.

“With so many weapons, just think of how much face Sister Zhao Han is going to get!”

“Is there any need to question Sister Han’s abilities?”

“True, getting our hands on this batch of weapons, we can go back and train a group of elite troops to make up for our previous losses.”

“Keep your voice down, Sister Zinuo said not to mention that incident anymore.”

“I was just saying, it’s not a big deal.”

…

Su Mo stood in silence; he had overheard the conversation between Lin Zinuo and Zhou Qian.

However, he didn’t agree with Zhou Qian’s view, which he found overly idealistic.

During his brief skirmish with Bai Ze earlier, Su Mo had instinctively felt that this kind of monster was too intelligent.

Would such an intelligent monster truly leave?

But he couldn’t really say anything, after all, based on the current situation, it seemed like there wasn’t much danger.

Suddenly, a drop of blood fell from above Lin Zinuo’s head.

Su Mo caught sight of it inadvertently.

His eyes sharpened, and with a swift and sure motion, he grabbed the back of Lin Zinuo’s collar and yanked her back.

At that moment, an impatient Bai Ze in its mature stage pounced ferociously, but its sharp claws swiped through empty air.

Su Mo lifted his QBU99 sniper rifle and fired point-blank at the Bai Ze, hitting its head instantly!

Boom!

Blood splattered everywhere.

Lin Zinuo was stunned; everything happened so quickly she hadn’t had time to react, and now she found herself pressed against Su Mo’s chest.

Her heart beat rapidly; she had nearly been finished off.

Of course, as an elite member of her team, her chances of being revived were high, but the consequences were serious too, as half of the revival fee came out of her own pocket.

She felt like she had just skirted the edge of bankruptcy.

Just then, from atop the steel beams over the base, Bai Ze in their mature stage leapt down like a bolt of lightning, too fast to cover one’s ears.

There were more than twenty of them.

Players from the Dawn Guild, without any time to react, were directly overwhelmed and then bitten viciously by the Bai Ze who opened their bloody mouths wide.

“Aah~”

Blood and screams splashed outwards as one by one, the life players were killed.

“All hands grab weapons and return fire, don’t panic, life players fall back, combat players protect them!”

Lin Zinuo immediately issued orders, while rushing to grab a weapon from a nearby box.

Zhou Qian and the others quickly gathered their fire and struck back!

The dense rain of bullets fell upon the Bai Ze, but most of the shots missed the vital spots, only barely breaking the skin.

The severe pain further enraged the Bai Ze, causing them to become even more ferocious.

Angered, they charged toward Zhou Qian and the others.

A huge shadow loomed over Zhou Qian.

She gritted her teeth to suppress the fear in her heart and did not flee because if they retreated, the surviving life players behind them would be done for.

Then they would be even more powerless to resist.

Zhou Qian could only fire her gun desperately, trying to repel the approaching Bai Ze, but with little effect.

Just as she felt somewhat desperate,

Bang!

Bang!

A series of shots came, hitting the neck vertebrae of the Bai Ze in front of her, each shot piling on top of the last.

Instantly, the Bai Ze that had been attacking fell heavily in front of Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian incredulously turned her head toward the source of the gunfire.

She saw Su Mo firing the semiautomatic sniper rifle without using the scope, his continuous fire blind yet accurate!

Bang!

Bang!

Each shot hit the vital spots on the approaching Bai Ze.

Greatly reducing the pressure on everyone.

Of course, this action also made him a target for the enemy.

A Bai Ze in its growth stage leaped down from above Su Mo, displaying a mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit toward his head.

“Su Mo, watch out!”

Zhou Qian couldn’t help but shout out loud.
