Returning to the entrance of the stairs in the lobby, Ling solemnly said: "I'll lure them away, you wait for the opportunity to leave from the other direction."
"It's too dangerous." Mo Ni shook her head.
Zero said in a tone that could not be refuted: "This is the only way, otherwise none of us will be able to leave."
After that, he carried Colt on his back and started to touch the entrance of the lobby. But someone grabbed his wrist suddenly, and when he turned his head, he saw Atesa.
The black girl said seriously: "I will help you!"
Zero had no objection, Atesa's speed and ability were not inferior to him. It would be best to have her help, so he said: "Remember to follow me later, if you have the opportunity, you'd better grab the other party's guns and ammunition."
Atesa was taken aback and said, "I don't need a gun."
"I need it." Zero smiled wryly, his M500* has already been laid off. With only three sniper rounds on him, he originally planned to go to the city's weapons store at night to buy new tactical uniforms and supplementary ammunition, but it seemed that this plan had come to naught. Now Ling only hoped that in the chaos of the stay, he could reward one of the bullets to the commander of the opponent, and then his escape would be much smoother.
In the tactical telescope, the light in the hotel gate is dim, and nothing can be seen at all.
Raz put down the binoculars and lit another cigarette for himself. There were already five cigarette butts under his feet, and it was obvious that his patience was being worn out little by little.
He is nearly forty years old this year and is in his prime. The tight blood knight uniform outlines Raz's perfect muscle lines. As a seventh-level offensive and defensive master, Raz is the blood knight colonel assigned by the Dark Council to station in the shadow city for many years. As long as he is given a few more years, Raz will be able to advance to the eighth rank of berserk warrior. If he has talent and potential, he can even aspire to be the twelfth-order Destroyer. So all in all, the future looks bright for Raz.
Originally, a person like him should gallop across the battlefield. But now, he stood on the commanding height of the rooftop for nearly an hour for an order. As early as two days ago, Raz got the news that the high level of the Dark Council had issued a revenge order for a low-level blood knight killed by wilderness mercenaries. The dignity and glory of the Dark Council cannot be challenged. For this reason, the high-level dispatched the ninth knight Rein to carry out this task. Originally, this was not about Raz's business, but at noon today, Raz got the news that the target person had entered the Shadow City.
After he sent the news back to the headquarters, he was ordered not to let the mercenary named Zero leave the Shadow City before Rein arrived. That's why Raz mobilized the troops stationed in the Shadow City to surround Zero's hotel layer by layer. Raz believed that the nearly twenty snipers deployed around the hotel were enough to prevent even a fly from flying out of the hotel.
He was able to complete the task without any problems, but Raz was getting quite impatient. In fact, according to his thinking, he should take action immediately after getting news of Zero's appearance, instead of passively waiting for Rein's arrival. But the superiors shattered his idea on the grounds that there was no tolerance for mistakes. Raz was even a little angry because of this. What the higher-ups meant was that he, a seventh-level attack and defense master, had no absolute chance of winning against a wilderness mercenary with only a fifth-level basic ability.
Now Raz hopes that Zero can make some noise, so he has a reason to attack Zero before Rein arrives, and prove their ideas wrong with the upper management.
When Raz put down the binoculars, a gunshot sounded not far away. Raz immediately cheered up, and zero began to take action!
He raised the binoculars again, and saw a figure suddenly rushing out of the hotel gate. Almost at the same time, soldiers deployed around the hotel opened fire to intercept. Even in the daytime, the dazzling flames could be seen tearing the figure apart, but soon, the figure disappeared into the street. However, the second after the fire net was drawn away, two figures left afterimages in the air at an extremely fast speed, and plunged into the alley in the opposite direction.
"Phantom incarnation?" Raz showed a cruel smile: "Interesting little bug, but you will soon find out that this is just a meaningless struggle."
Raz adjusted the pocket communicator worn on his left ear to a dedicated channel, and issued a new order: "Attention all units, the target has broken through our defense line and entered the laneway of the Eastern District. Immediately activate the backup plan, the restrictions are lifted, and the target can be found for the first time." Immediately kill!"
After issuing this order, Raz unzipped the collar of his uniform. The muscle fibers in his whole body trembled slightly, which was the precursor to the activation of the ability. Raz wanted to take part in the chase himself, but it didn't work out, when a message reached his ears.
The Ninth Knight Rein has arrived in the Shadow City!
As a result, the muscles that had already begun to expand retracted again. Raz put his hands on the fence of the roof and cursed in a low voice: "Damn, what a disappointment!"
In the streets and alleys, Zero and Atesa moved forward quickly. After he used his phantom avatar to divert the firepower of the parliamentary soldiers near the hotel, he fully launched the fifth-level agility speed and Atesa rushed in the opposite direction. There were sporadic stray bullets, either for Zero to dodge directly, or for Atesa's wheel saw to bounce off.
There are some simple houses on both sides of the alley, and the residents in the houses have been demobilized by the army of the parliament. On the commanding heights of the roof of the house, although some snipers were distributed, they were far from keeping up with the speed of the two of them, so they could only waste bullets on the ground or walls behind them in vain.
Seeing a fork in the road ahead, Zero gestured. Atesa understood, and immediately scattered and fled from left to right.
Zero turned into the alley on the right, and there was a wall at the end, but it was a dead end. At this time, a soldier suddenly turned out of the window of the house in front of him. When he fell to the ground, he immediately adjusted his posture and raised his machine gun horizontally to aim in the direction of zero.
Zero speed does not decrease, but suddenly a sliding shovel forward.
The machine gun roared, and a half-meter-long tongue of flame shot out from the muzzle. The bullets poured in the direction of zero like a torrential rain, but all fell into the empty space.
Sliding directly under the soldier's step, the muscles on Zero's back contracted instantly, and bounced to the ground again. This made him jump from the ground, and only then did the soldier realize that the enemy had come behind him.
A cold light flashed in Zero's hands, and a gun cut across the main artery in the soldier's neck, causing him to bleed profusely immediately. Zero snatched the opponent's machine gun without any hassle, and then jumped up directly. He grabbed the edge of the wall with one hand and supported it with strength, and he used his strength to climb over the wall. When it fell to the ground, the footsteps and roar of the pursuers came from behind the wall.
Zero smiled slightly, and tried to run away again. But just as he stood up straight, his whole body froze suddenly. Just in front of the alley, there was a silver-haired man standing at some point. He was wearing a dark red leather suit that was very similar to Sauron's, with a sword slung across his back. Although there was a faint smile on his face, Zero felt an unprecedented sense of crisis from him.
"Hello, Zero." Rein looked at the somewhat dazed target and said with a smile.
