Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 12 Do sneak attacks, not martial arts!

In the deserted alley, the footsteps of Li Lin and Caitlin echoed far and wide.

"I really didn't expect you to be able to bargain." Caitlin had a smile on her exquisite face, "I thought you would be like Jess, no matter how expensive things are, you have a buy-it-yourself price."

"This involves a matter of personal principles." Li Lin responded slowly, "Even if there is financial sponsorship, I don't like to be slaughtered as if I were taken advantage of."

"I didn't expect you to be quite diligent and thrifty in housekeeping." Caitlin's eyes were shining brightly, "By the way, are we going back today like this?"

"Why, do you still want to hang around here more? Don't you think the haze isn't sucking enough?"

Caitlin cast a coquettish look at Li Lin, "It's still early, and it's rare to come down again, can't you let me see more of Dicheng?"

What is there to see in Zaan, why not go back up and go shopping on the street.

It was right to think so in his heart, Li Lin silently glanced at the watch on his wrist to confirm the time.

It is more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon. If we only turn around for half an hour, we should be able to go back at 6 o'clock.

"Okay, but you can only stay for half an hour. If you go back too late, Madam Karina will blame me if she finds out..." Li Lin sighed.

But as soon as he raised his head, he found Caitlin in front of him stopped, looking at the surrounding environment from time to time.

"If you want to go shopping, it's not in this alley with nothing... at least go to the street."

"It's too quiet." Caitlin said suddenly.

"What's so quiet? There's no one here, it's not supposed to be quiet..."

"Hush." ​​Kaitlyn covered Li Lin's mouth with her hand, making a silent movement.

Afterwards, she looked around with vigilance in her eyes, and at the same time pricked up her ears to search for any incongruous sounds around her.

Caitlin lowered her voice: "We also walked through this alley when we came here. I remember very clearly that there should be two sleeping homeless people there."

"What does this mean?" Li Lin didn't know why, "Maybe he woke up and went to other places to pick up junk."

She shook her head, pointed to the relatively dry mat next to the trash can by the wall, and looked at the closed windows of every family on the high wall.

"Not only that, the alchemy lamps in the surrounding houses were all extinguished, but people's voices could still be heard inside when we came, and now they are gone.

"If it's just a simple family like this, I wouldn't suspect anything, but this alley is like this, it's so weird..."

Li Lin frowned, and became vigilant in his heart, "You mean, someone planned to rob us, and the scene has been cleared in advance?"

"maybe."

Caitlin will not scare people for no reason, and Li Lin also trusts her "hunter's intuition" from long-term hunting training.

Since she said so, she must have a reason.

What's more, this is the territory of Zu'an, and it's normal for robbery to happen.

Although both he and Caitlin deliberately dressed up as ordinary citizens, no matter what, their auras looked very extraordinary, and it was not incomprehensible for them to be targeted by gangsters.

Caitlin pulled Li Lin close to the wall, "We know the enemy is in the dark, and we don't know if the enemy has a gun in his hand...Damn it, I knew I had my Mauser rifle!"

gun?
As I said earlier, I have it too.

Li Lin took out the HexTech revolver that had been prepared from his waist.

But on second thought, he handed it to Caitlin anyway.

Li Lin didn't think he was a showman. He knew that he hadn't received training in the use of firearms, so it wasn't certain whether he could hit people.

Instead of keeping this gun with me, it is better to give it to Caitlin, who deals with guns every day, at least to make it play its best role.

"This is...you still have a gun?"

Caitlin was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and reached out to take the strange-looking revolver.

"It can fire magic bullets and cause a wide range of shock waves." Li Lin quickly explained, "But there are only three bullets, so save some use... By the way, there is still a one-second delay for firing bullets, please pay attention."

"Magic? Launch delay? Are you kidding... Forget it, now is not the time to worry about this." Kaitlyn obviously didn't take his words seriously, "3 bullets should be enough."

Most of Zaun's alleyways are long, narrow and intricate.

They are now in the middle of this alley. If they want to get to the street with a lot of traffic, they have to turn at least two corners and walk hundreds of meters.

This has also led to the embarrassing situation they are currently in, which belongs to "no shop in front of the village and no shop in the back", a dilemma.

"These guys who have thoughts about us should be hiding in a room above." Caitlin quickly analyzed the situation, but at the same time felt puzzled, "But if it is a robbery, would it take so much trouble?"

Unless... these guys have a special purpose.

Thinking of this, Caitlin glanced at Li Lin beside her, and couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

Could it be that they are coming after me? !

Even if Karina Gilaman is the member of Piltover who is in charge of power, there are still many families that are hostile to the Gilaman family.

Although most of them were only concerned with their interests, they didn't dare to say much on weekdays due to the face of Councilor Gilamanen.

But these are only on the surface...

Which family has the guts to dare to even touch the daughter of a member of parliament? !
"These guys may not be robbing." Caitlin bit her bloodless lower lip, "Sorry, I'm the one who got you in trouble today."

"???" Li Lin felt confused, "Why are you getting involved..."

He had just uttered a few words when he heard a window not far above being pushed open, and a long black metal pipe protruded from it.

Caitlin glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but catch her breath, "Be careful! The other party has a gun!"

But the reaction speed of an ordinary person is destined to be inferior to that of a hot weapon.

With the sudden appearance of an orange flame, there was a deafening echo in the alley
--boom!

Suddenly, a burst of cold numbness came from Li Lin's shoulders, followed by an unbearable burning sensation, which went straight to his brain through the nerves.

At the same time, the system's prompt sounded frantically in the back of his mind:
[HP: 322/585]

[Personal status: shot, blood loss]

[Effect: Lose 20 HP per minute]

I... was shot? !
Li Lin hadn't recovered from the shock yet.

"Hide behind the trash can!"

Caitlin took advantage of the opponent's second shot, quickly pulled Li Lin to squat down, and scolded eagerly: "Damn guy, you can even use such a dirty trick as a sneak attack!"

It simply doesn't talk about Wude!

Her eye sockets were red, and there was mist in her blue eyes, and she looked back at Li Lin very worriedly: "Press your wound and don't let go, too much blood loss will make you go into shock!"

As she spoke, she tore off a piece of clean cloth from her clothes and quickly wrapped it around his shoulders a few times as an emergency.

Li Lin gritted his teeth tightly and tried not to cry out, a layer of cold sweat oozing out from his whole body.

Fortunately, after Caitlin simply bandaged her, the speed of losing HP on the system panel temporarily dropped from 20 points per minute to 12 points.

But procrastinating like this is not the answer, he still needs timely treatment.

"Miss Gilamann, I advise you to stop struggling, you cannot escape from our grasp." A dull and hoarse male voice came from the direction where Li Lin was shot just now.

At the same time as the sound sounded, several figures appeared on the other side of the alley.

It may be that they knew that Caitlin had a weapon in their hands, so they all hid behind the bunker and did not dare to show their bodies.

Calm down, the more you need to be calm at this time... This group of people only have one gun, and I have the advantage.

Caitlin took a few deep breaths quickly, forced herself to calm down her nervous mood, and at the same time snorted coldly: "Hmph! How can I let you send so many people to arrest me?"

While talking, she concentrated again, trying to identify the other party's location through voice recognition.

But the man obviously came prepared, he didn't give her this chance at all, and chose not to say a word.

"Miss Gila Mann, our task is to keep you alive, but the employer didn't say to ensure integrity...

"If you put down your weapon and follow us now, maybe you can suffer less flesh and blood?"

Some man on the other side of the alley yelled.

Damn!

In this way, it is impossible to determine the location of the person holding the gun!
Just when Caitlin was at a loss and didn't know what to do, Li Lin, whose face was pale, endured the severe pain and stammered:
"Do you still remember the approximate location of that person just now?"

She nodded subconsciously, "I can only determine a rough range..."

"Yes, is it accurate to within 3 meters?"

"should……"

"enough."

Li Lin grinned reluctantly and squeezed out a smile, "Shoot, just aim at the range you have determined."
