"Bang! Bang"

At this time, two dull gunshots were heard in the air.

"Ouch!"

The Rat King in the distance instantly exploded with two blood flowers. It roared loudly and swung its slender tail violently, making a sonic boom that broke the sound barrier!

"boom!"

Another blood flower exploded on its body, and the Rat King screamed sadly. He finally realized that a disaster was coming and could no longer care about the group of ordinary mutant rats. As soon as his body moved, he quickly fled away into the distance. The mutant rats around him suddenly flew very fast. Disperse.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The heavy sound of sniper rifles kept ringing, but it was obvious that the fast-moving Rat King was difficult to lock on, and three consecutive shots missed. Soon, the Rat King ran further and further away, spilling blood along the way.

"What a great opportunity!" Luo Yuan's heart moved and he immediately chased after him.

The remaining people were stunned and reacted at the same time. They rushed over, but within a few seconds, they were left far behind.

Luo Yuan is extremely fast, almost comparable to a sprint champion. But the speed is still not as fast as the Rat King.

But the speed of the Rat King is gradually slowing down. Large-caliber sniper bullets have left three bowl-sized wounds on its body. Blood is constantly flowing from the wounds. It can no longer support it for much longer.

A few minutes later, the Rat King's speed was getting slower and slower. The large amount of blood loss caused its physical strength to be rapidly depleted. Even the silver-white fur seemed to be gradually dimming and losing its luster.

It let out a mournful cry from time to time, and its body began to sway.

"Don't die, at least not now!" Luo Yuan murmured secretly in his heart while running desperately.

If he didn't kill the Rat King himself, the mission would have failed. The double experience penalty after failure might even cause his level to regress, which he couldn't bear. He was panting heavily, his lungs burning like overloaded bellows.

Finally, the distance between the two kept getting closer.

Luo Yuan felt a little excited in his heart.

The Rat King seemed to sense that its end was approaching, or knew that it could no longer escape in its current state. It ran for a while and then suddenly stopped.

It turned around and faced Luo Yuan. Its blood-red eyes exuded a biting light under the moonlight. It growled lowly, and the corners of its sharp mouth were pulled up by muscles, revealing sharp fangs that were different from ordinary mice. A long and thin tail swayed slightly behind him, and the blood-stained hair stood on end, making an attacking posture.

Luo Yuan's appearance slowly stopped, and his expression gradually became serious.

The tiger's power of death is still there, even if the rat king has been severely injured, no one can underestimate it. There is a depressing atmosphere in the air, and the nearby insects suddenly become silent.

He held the hilt of the knife tightly, his spirit became highly concentrated, and he stared into the rat king's bloodthirsty eyes.

If it was a normal battle, he would drag the Rat King as long as possible, but time was exactly what he lacked, and he had to fight quickly.

After a moment of confrontation, Luo Yuan suddenly moved.

He stepped hard with his foot and dragged the ground with his long knife. His body was low, almost flush with the ground. His feet staggered quickly, causing shallow pits on the ground. He was like a tiger descending a mountain, rushing forward quickly.

Almost at the same time, a sonic boom roared towards him. Before he could get close, Luo Yuan's hair was blown into the air and his face was cut with tiny cuts.

Facing the strong wind, Luo Yuan narrowed his eyelids slightly. His agility was extremely high. Although he could not fully display it due to other physical qualities, his vision was not affected. He could see a very blurry line. The tail whizzed across from the side.

Once hit, the body will undoubtedly be cut into two pieces.

His pupils shrank sharply, he quickly raised the sword in his hand and slashed at the air.

There was a huge blockage on the sword. When the rat's tail was cut off, a terrifying force was also transmitted through the sword. Before he had time to react, his body rose into the air and was thrown out heavily by the remaining force.

"Ouch!" The Rat King roared loudly in pain. It mustered up its last strength and charged towards Luo Yuan in mid-air.

Luo Yuan forcibly controlled his body in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground. He looked at the Rat King who was charging towards him. He refused to give way and took a few steps quickly. The two quickly approached.

"Bang! Bang!"

At this moment, Luo Yuan suddenly felt palpitations in his heart, as if needles were pricking his back. Before he had time to react, a sharp pain suddenly hit his back. He groaned, and his body deformed slightly, followed by another sharp pain. Only then did he react. He was shocked and angry. He could no longer maintain his fighting mood and looked at the Rat King who was about to pounce. He quickly turned on his side and dodged to the side.

"What are you doing?" A frightened and angry voice came from the distance. It was Huang Yaoguang's voice.

"I originally wanted to save him, but who would have thought that he would be accidentally injured? How could I shoot if I was so constrained?" Boss Zhou said in an indifferent tone. The pistol continued to shoot, but this time he shot rats. After all, in his eyes, Wang was shot twice and would definitely not survive.

Hearing the conversation in the distance, Luo Yuan was extremely angry. Even a dull person can understand what Boss Zhou is thinking. In order to get a double share of the flesh and blood of the Rat King, he actually shot his companions. If he hadn't been wearing a bulletproof vest, he might not have even died. This man is really It's damned.

Fortunately, the Rat King was taken away by the gun to take away his hatred and couldn't care about Luo Yuan for a while, otherwise he would be really in danger.

He felt his body, and it seemed that nothing was wrong. He suddenly jumped up and caught up with the Rat King in a few steps. With one stroke of his long knife, he cut off the Rat King's slender calf. The running Rat King paused slightly. , the next moment the Rat King lost one of his legs, and his whole body suddenly fell to the ground.

It wasn't over yet. He walked up to it in one stride and dragged the long knife along its soft belly. He cut open the entire belly, and its internal organs spilled all over the floor.

The Rat King raised his head in pain, revealing his ferocious fangs. He turned around and wanted to bite him, but a cold light quickly passed through its throat, and blood spurted out like a fountain. Luo Yuan was afraid that it would not die, so he stabbed it with a long knife, diagonally thrusting it up from its throat until the tip of the knife touched it. When he reached his head, he pulled out violently.

The Rat King's head fell heavily to the ground, and he could only breathe out, not inhale.

After a few seconds, the system prompt finally came out: "The optional mission, E-level mission: Hunting the Rat King, has been completed. Mission completion time: two hours and five minutes. Mission evaluation: Average!"

"Reward basic experience value 800"

"Mediocre evaluation, experience value +0"

Phew, finally done.

Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although the evaluation was average and there was no experience reward, Luo Yuan was very satisfied with the successful completion this time. He turned and looked at the group of people approaching.

Everyone's footsteps slowly stopped. Boss Zhou's expression was a little uncertain, and his lowered right hand held the pistol tightly.

His face was stern and he said in a deep voice: "No one can give me an explanation for this matter

Huang Yaoguang wanted to speak, but Luo Yuan stopped him.

"Chen Haiyan, this Boss Zhou is the one you called, I'll give you face. What do you think should be the punishment for shooting a comrade?"

Everyone looked quickly at Boss Zhou and Chen Haiyan.

Chen Haiyan said with an ugly face: "Luo Yuan was probably accidentally injured this time. It will inevitably happen during battle. Fortunately, you are fine. Why don't you let Boss Zhou apologize to you and make compensation? What do you think?"

He didn't see the situation clearly at that time and thought it was just an accidental injury. What's more, he called Boss Zhou here. He usually has a good relationship with him, but his relatives are different, so Boss Zhou must be protected this time.

Luo Yuan tapped Chen Haiyan with his index finger, smiled angrily, and then turned to look stern: "Accidental injury? What a friendly accident! I have never heard of being hit twice in a row. The reason is accidental injury. If I hadn't been wearing a bulletproof suit, You deserve to die!"

Luo Yuan slowly approached as he spoke.

Everyone was in an uproar. Qian Dakui and others' faces quickly darkened, and they felt chilled. After all, no one wanted to have such a character in the team. Playing behind the scenes has always been a taboo in the team.

Several people couldn't help but take a step back slightly to make way for Boss Zhou and others. As a result, she became even more distant from Chen Haiyan.

Chen Haiyan's face was livid, and she secretly cursed Boss Zhou for being so obsessed that he even wanted to kill his own people. If he really died, let it go. No one would fight for the dead. If one person dies, there will be one less person to share the spoils. The key is that they are still alive and kicking now. , now even himself is implicated.

Luo Yuan walked over step by step with a gloomy face, exuding a palpitating aura.

"What do you want?" Boss Zhou said harshly, taking a step back slightly, but his tone was already somewhat submissive. Looking at Luo Yuan who was slowly walking over, his right hand holding the pistol was wet.

"I am a person with clear grudges. Since you shot me twice, I will repay you with two shots. It's very fair!" Luo Yuandao said.

Everyone dispersed to both sides. Boss Zhou's men were sweating on their faces. They looked around and then retreated hesitantly.

Chen Haiyan seemed to want to say something more, but opened her mouth and said nothing in the end.

"Trash!" Boss Zhou scolded his subordinates. Swallowing, he slowly stepped back and said to Luo Yuan: "You are not afraid of losing your life."

"I'm even more afraid of being shot coldly in the future!" Luo Yuan stared at him closely.

"Then you're going to die?" Boss Zhou knew that he couldn't escape this time, but he was decisive. He suddenly raised his right hand and pulled the trigger with his finger to shoot at Luo Yuan. After firing a shot, his hand suddenly went cold and he turned around. And a sharp pain.

He held his severed hand and howled miserably, retreating continuously, cold sweat oozing out. He finally realized that he was afraid: "Spare your life, Boss Luo! I deserve to die, I don't dare to do it anymore. I still have a wife and children, you You can’t kill me!”

"If your wife is ugly, you don't have to worry at all. If your wife is beautiful, there is no need to worry. This is just a knife, and you still owe me another knife!" Luo Yuan sneered.

After saying that, he took a step forward, quickly sent the sword into his stomach, and stirred it vigorously until he was sure that the other party's intestines had been severed. Then he quickly pulled it out, and blood slowly slid down the knife.

Boss Zhou clutched his stomach and fell to the ground with a twisted face. His body kept twitching and blood foam slowly overflowed from his mouth. He stared and said with difficulty: "You... you are so cruel!"

Everyone looked at Boss Zhou who was gradually taking his last breath, and then looked at the rat king who was disemboweled by Luo Yuan and had his throat cut through his brain, and they couldn't help but feel sad.

But in this world, if you are not cruel to others, others will be cruel to you.

"Now that the matter is settled, how about we divide the Rat King?" Chen Haiyan said in time, her expression has completely recovered: "Time is running out, that team of soldiers should find this place soon."

Because time was tight, everyone took action quickly.

The tip of Luo Yuan's knife penetrated along the bone seam of the cervical vertebrae, and then pulled hard sideways, cutting off the entire head. He thought about it and cut off another hind leg, then stopped. Although he could have divided it a little more, it would inevitably leave you with a greedy impression, not to mention that he had already gotten some of the best parts.

His knife is relatively sharp. It is no exaggeration to say that it can cut iron like clay. Although the Rat King's skin and flesh are tough, it cannot cause much hindrance to this light blue sword. When Luo Yuan took it out from his pocket, After taking out the sacks and loading the trophies one by one, several people were still sweating and cutting meat.

Luo Yuan looked at the time, said hello to Huang Yaoguang and others, chose another way and left quickly.

He didn't dare to stay here for a long time. The army was searching nearby. As long as he followed the blood trail, he would be here soon. If he stayed here for a minute longer, he would be in more danger.

There were still some scattered mutant rats in the garbage dump. The sudden escape of the Rat King made these mutant rats at a loss as to where to go, like headless flies.

Luo Yuan killed a few more ordinary mutant rats along the way and put them into sacks one by one. Firstly, he had to trade gasoline with Fatty Xie when they arrived. Secondly, he could also cover up the contents to avoid exposure.

Waiting to blend in with the crowd. Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and followed the flow of people to the shanty town, where he saw several military jeeps parked at the intersection. There were several heavily armed police standing nearby. Judging from their relaxed faces, it was obvious that they had not received the news.

Luo Yuan glanced at it and then looked away. It didn't take long for him to find Fatty Xie. The food he brought had obviously been sold out. When encountering this rare rat tide, no matter how much food is available, it will not be enough to trade.

He stood on a boulder, looking left and right. Originally he planned to leave, but today, taking advantage of the widespread depreciation of rat meat, he has received enough mutated rats today that it will be difficult to digest them all in a short time. This kind of thing is not food and cannot be stored for a long time.

And the processed things cannot be sold for a big price, so there will inevitably be some losses.

But in the end, after thinking about it, I decided to wait. Since I decided to form a good relationship, I couldn't give up halfway. Although this gasoline is precious, to a person like him who has some connections, this thing is really nothing.

"Brother Luo, you're finally here. Do you really want me to wait?" Fatty Xie jumped off the stone as soon as he saw Luo Yuan, and the fat on his belly trembled.

"Delayed by something?" Luo Yuan said lightly, and quickly changed the subject: "Did you bring the gasoline?"

"I brought it a long time ago. I've been waiting for you." Fatty Xie smiled and said, "There are thirty liters in total. How much do you want?"

"Find a place with few people to trade!" Luo Yuan looked at the nearby armed police and said to Fatty Xie.

"Okay, let's go to the intersection." Fatty Xie also followed his gaze and said with some disapproval in his heart. He waved, and two of his men came over carrying two plastic buckets, one of which was filled with gasoline.

The two left the garbage dump and chose a remote corner.

Luo Yuandao put the mutant rats on the ground one by one, seven in total.

Fatty Xie squatted down and checked carefully. Every mutated rat was still warm. It was obvious that it had just died not long ago. There was only one wound, both on the top of the head. The surface of the wound was smooth and went straight into the brain. Even the size is the same, as if they were measured with a ruler.

Fatty Xie was secretly frightened when he saw it, and his evaluation of Luo Yuan was even higher. He said with a smile: "I made a rough estimate. Each of these mutant rats is about six pounds on average. After the blood is completely drained, it will be roughly It’s about five kilograms of meat and a total of two and a half liters of gasoline. I won’t bother. You can take this thirty-liter barrel of gasoline first and pay me the difference later.”

Luo Yuan knew that the other party was trying to show his goodwill. With today's market conditions, every kilogram of mutated rat meat might not even be exchanged for three kilograms of grain, so Fatty Xie was at a loss. However, this is how people communicate with each other. If you want to get something, you must first give something. If you suffer a loss, you will take advantage. Favors come and go, and the relationship deteriorates.

But thinking about it, it wouldn't do any harm to me, not to mention that I might need him in the future, so I understood and said, "Happy cooperation in the future."

After the transaction was completed, the relationship between the two suddenly became much closer.

Fatty Xie said mysteriously: "I heard that a rat king appeared today. I wonder if Brother Luo has seen it?"

Luo Yuan was startled, but soon realized that it was not necessary, and relaxed again. He said with a hint of reluctance on his face: "Don't mention this matter. I feel sullen when I think about it. I was almost successful, but was robbed by the armed police." , I had to retreat, otherwise I wouldn’t have killed only a few mutant rats.”

Fatty Xie did not have any doubts. He sighed and whispered: "As soon as a lord-level creature appears in Donghu City, the army and armed police will not let it go. Now every kilogram of such flesh and blood has been sold at a sky-high price. If Luo Luo If you can get it, be sure to contact me. The price is not an issue. ”

"If I can get it, I won't forget about Boss Xie, but it's hard to see such a creature, and all of them are very dangerous. Even if you encounter them, you can't kill them." Luo Yuan suddenly felt something in his heart: "If you can get a heavy sniper rifle, there is still hope."

He was deeply impressed by the sniper rifle of the armed police this time. Just a few shots caused serious damage to this light blue-level creature. This is because it didn't hit the vital point. If it could hit the head or heart directly, it would definitely be a one-hit kill. If you could get one, future tasks would be easy.

Fatty Xie was startled: "Brother Luo, you are too courageous. The government can turn a blind eye to pistols. After all, the world has changed. But sniper rifles are absolutely contraband, even for the entire East Lake." There aren’t many cities.”

"That's what I said." Luo Yuandao said. He had no hope in the first place, and he couldn't even say he was disappointed. It seemed that if he wanted to get this kind of gun, unless he had military connections and a big backing, there would be no chance.

Luo Yuan was not in the mood to continue chatting to avoid a long night of dreams, so he left quickly.
