"——"
This is the long-lost silence.
In the canyon where the smoke continued, all movement completely disappeared at this moment, allowing everything to return to the most primitive silence.
And in this silent world, all the players who were originally ambushing here disappeared.
There was only one player left, holding his gun and kneeling on the ground.
"Woo..."
Shino held up the Hecate with all her strength and pointed it forward. She put her finger on the trigger and bit her lip.
In the direction of his vision, a young man holding a rifle in one hand and a revolver in the other slowly walked over.
"Are you the only one left?"
The young man smiled with interest.
That smile was the same as the look in Shino's eyes when she first sniped at him, full of amusement.
Of course Shino knew why the other person's smile was so playful.
because...
"...You deliberately left me until the end, right?"
There was a look of humiliation in Shino's eyes.
Yes.
Luo Zhen deliberately left her until the end.
This is not because the other party spoke for Luo Zhen when he first entered GGO.
Luo Zhen's reason for keeping Shino until the end was simple.
"You are the only player who has shot me decently, and unlike those who ran away, you just ran away when you saw that there was no chance of winning. Even if you couldn't cause effective damage to me, you still persisted. You raised your gun at me and thought of ways to break through the current predicament again and again. You implemented twelve different tactics for this purpose, which made me a little curious as to what kind of attack you would use next. "
Luo Zhen came to Shino, placed himself in front of Shino's gun, and looked at her calmly.
This made Shino want to pull the trigger directly and blast Luo Zhen away.
Now, Luo Zhen was less than three meters away from Shino. At this distance, it was impossible to dodge the bullets fired by the anti-material sniper rifle with a speed of more than twice the speed of sound.
To approach this distance so unprepared is to seek death.
If it were normal times, Sinon would definitely shoot the opponent without hesitation and send him back to Groken City.
But this time, Sinon couldn't move her hand on the trigger no matter what.
The reason is very simple, because Sinon has thought that she can hit Luo Zhen countless times, but in the end she was slapped in the face, and not once was it painless.
Therefore, even if reason told Shino that at this distance, Luo Zhen would definitely not be able to dodge, it can be seen that after seeing Luo Zhen's strength, Shino no longer believed that she could hit him easily.
He must have had the confidence not to be hit, and he had come so close to him just now. Shino knew this clearly.
then...
"Then you are satisfied now?" Shino said coldly: "Is it time to put the bullet into the head of the person who attacked you like before?"
Hearing this, Luo Zhen rolled his eyes.
"I do, but you don't look like you want to accept your fate. If I raise the gun, you will definitely shoot regardless of the situation, right?"
Luo Zhen was so sure, as if he had seen through Shino's mind.
From Shino's eyes, Luo Zhen could see that even now, this girl still has not given up.
To put it nicely, this is called strong, but to put it worse, it actually means being stubborn and pushy.
Such a girl really made Luo Zhen feel a little nostalgic.
no way.
(Ji Hiiragi and Yuri are also like this. Sometimes they just like to show off their strength and are very stubborn and refuse to listen at all.)
Luo Zhen couldn't help but smile.
However, this smile, in Shino's eyes, was like proof that he was confident.
At that moment, Shino smacked her lips.
"Are you still afraid that I will shoot you?"
It was rare for Shino to be sarcastic.
You know, I don’t know how many times I sniped at Luo Zhen and shot how many rounds of bullets. However, Luo Zhen was still intact like this. Now he was talking as if he was afraid of Shino’s shooting. This made Shi It gave rise to a feeling of being teased.
Shino, who was thinking this way, didn't know...
"Didn't you notice?" Luo Zhen curled his lips and said calmly: "I have no bullets."
"Huh?" Shino was stunned.
No bullets
He's out of bullets
this...
"Of course I'm not lying to you." Luo Zhen shrugged and said, "I have been hunting since yesterday and stayed up all night last night. Naturally, I have almost used up all my ammunition, so I need to go back to Groken City. As a result, I encountered an ambush by you halfway and used up the few remaining ammunition. Is that normal?"
Now, there really wasn't even a bullet in Luo Zhen's body, and there wasn't even a bullet in his inventory. It was all empty, let alone grenades. Luo Zhen had used them all in hunting.
If this were not the case, the number of players who could escape from Luo Zhen would definitely be reduced by more than half.
Therefore, those players who survived should be lucky.
After learning about this matter, Shino was not very happy.
Rather, Shino became furious.
No bullets
You dare to come closer if you run out of bullets
Isn't this looking down on people
Thinking like this, Shino wanted to speak directly.
But before that, Luo Zhen took the lead.
"I thought I was deliberately looking down on you, so I came close to you without even having bullets, right?"
Luo Zhen said with a half-smile.
"If you think so, do you want to see if I can kill you?"
As he said this, Luo Zhen put away the revolver he held in one hand at some point, inserted it into the gun bag on his waist, turned down, and touched a scabbard pinned to the outside of his thigh.
"Choke..."
Amidst the sound of sharp metal friction, Luo Zhen pulled out a weapon.
It was a military dagger.
In GGO, apart from firearms, there are only two types of melee weapons, one is the dagger of the live ammunition system, and the other is the light saber of the optical system.
In addition to having a sniper rifle as his main weapon and a revolver as his secondary weapon, Luo Zhen is also equipped with a military dagger.
"Do you think I'm just approaching you to talk?"
Luo Zhen played with the dagger in his hand flexibly, letting the dagger rotate in his palm.
"I'm approaching you also so that when I want to strike, I can strike you cleanly and neatly."
Luo Zhen's half-smiling words made Shino's expression change several times.
Although GGO is a gun battle game, melee skills also exist.
For example, some players have specialized skills such as "Military Combat Technique", which is similar to the "Physical Technique" skill in SAO, allowing them to use close combat to fight against enemies.
After Luo Zhen transferred from ALO, the only skill that still exists and is fully learned is this. Just like ability values will be converted into ability parameters like strength, Luo Zhen's "Physical Skills" skill is being transferred to GGO After that, it became a close combat skill, so Luo Zhen finally had an ability that he could use.
When he first came to GGO and was invited to fight by An Feng, Luo Zhen dared to agree without buying a weapon and prepared to duel with An Feng outside the circle. This was the reason.
With such ability and a military dagger, it is still very easy for Luo Zhen to kill Shino.
but...
"For the sake of your performance today and the way you spoke for me before, I'll let you go."
Luo Zhen put away the dagger, shouldered the rifle, and his expression became leisurely.
"I hope to see you again at the BoB competition the day after tomorrow."
After leaving such words, Luo Zhen waved his hand and turned to leave.
"you... !"
Shino stood up.
But when Shino was about to say something, Luo Zhen had already started running, sprinted, and left the canyon.
"etc!"
Shino wanted to stop him, but she couldn't.
Staring at Luo Zhen's back, Sinon gritted her teeth.
"I won't let you go...!"
Shino swore so.
