hero?it must be me

This time, there was a response in the darkness.

"Snapped."

The sound like an egg hitting a rock sounded on Zheng Qi.

It was a sharp arrow shot out of the darkness, and it made the sound after it hit Zheng Qi's eyeball.

Oh, to be more precise...

It was the sound that the arrow made when it collided with Zheng Qi's eyeball and shattered into pieces.

"Good answer."

Zheng Qi's figure suddenly disappeared in place.

In the darkness, only those two golden arcs of light dragged a striking trajectory in the shadows.

It was the golden ripples of pride burning on Zheng Qi's hands.

Following his high-speed moving figure, the golden ripples shook their heads and tails like two rising dragons rising from the abyss. In the blink of an eye, they spanned a distance of tens of meters, and suddenly bit the dragon hiding in the dark corner. The [prey] in it!

"—!"

"Don't be noisy."

Holding the man's head with one hand, Zheng Qi said in a low voice.

He looked at the guy in his hand.

Wearing helmets, masks, goggles and scarves, soft and close-fitting light armor, and holding heavy mechanical crossbows.

Even if Zheng Qi didn't have any experience playing chess with the army or soldiers, he could tell that he was obviously some kind of organized professional.

In other words, these eight people are likely to be a professional team that belongs to a certain organization and specializes in doing some dirty work.

Yes, Zheng Qi can confirm that there are eight people.

When he was in that camp, he noticed that the team formed by these eight people and the eight drone-like machines was approaching the camp.

At that time, the team was still almost a kilometer away from the camp.

A group of targets with a similar smell mixed with them and still moving at high speed, to Zheng Qi with a keen sense of smell, are no different from fireflies flying around in groups in the dark.

They are too conspicuous.

However, what made Zheng Qi able to catch one of these eight people with such a precise face-to-face was not only the feedback from his sense of smell, but also the many grievances entangled in these people.

Those are the afterimages of the dead who died at the hands of these people, and finally left in the world of the living.

Zheng Qi can see this now.

So to him, these eight guys who are obviously good at hiding are actually not much different from exposing their whereabouts directly under his nose.

Then the problem is coming.

What is such a team going to do to find a camp composed of non-combatants?

Zheng Qi looked at the trembling hapless bastard in front of him.

After Zheng Qi held his head, the guy's first reaction was to draw out the short knife in his arms and stab Zheng Qi's heart.

The proficiency of the movements matched the resentful spirit lingering on this person. It was obviously not the first time he had killed people like this.

As for why this kind of professional trembles at this time?

Perhaps it was because his right hand, which was injured by the big anti-armor due to the attack on Zheng Qi, was so painful that the skin was ripped apart, the tendons were broken, and the bones were broken. Perhaps it was because he had never met anyone who could smash an alloy dagger with just muscle. opponent.

In short, facing Zheng Qi, this guy has basically lost his ability to fight just by meeting him.

And the arrow that was obviously aimed at death just now was shot by this guy.

"Puff."

Zheng Qi shook his head.

It's like shaking a bowl of silken tofu and water.

The crossbowman's brain collided back and forth in his head, and the continuous impact made the young assassin lose consciousness instantly.

"Clap clap clap!"

At the same time, four crisp sounds resounded from Zheng Qi's body surface.

That was the sound of arrows hitting Zheng Qi's body from multiple directions.

But without exception, they were all the same as their "predecessors", broken into residues like eggs that hit a rock.

(Could it be that they all use weapons like crossbows? Are there no firearms in this world? Obviously there are mechanical creations similar to drones.)

Throwing away the worthless crossbowman casually, Zheng Qi turned his gaze and locked the positions of the remaining seven people under another round of arrows.

Four of these seven people were actively moving. It seemed that the direct exposure of the first person made them more vigilant, preparing to complete the siege of Zheng Qi while transferring the hiding place.

and……

(Really a drone.)

Zheng Qi's good night vision allowed him to notice the small flying objects that were quickly approaching him in the shadows.

In terms of shape, it is really a typical drone.

It seems that the other party is preparing to let the drone be the pioneer.

Observing these small iron boxes flying towards him curiously, Zheng Qi took a closer look and found that there were no weapons like machine guns or flamethrowers on them.

So, is the function of these drones really just for reconnaissance?

With doubts, Zheng Qi moved again.

He picked up the heavy mechanical crossbow that belonged to the unconscious crossbowman, and there was still a wounded crossbow bolt in the crossbow body, ready to go.

Zheng Qi pulled the trigger of the mechanical crossbow directly towards one of the drones.

Then, the shot simply missed.

"...so I don't like playing Quinn."

Muttering something, Zheng Qi threw away the mechanical crossbow, took a stride, and rushed towards the drone.

With the blessing of Qu Renzhiwei in his hand, Zheng Qi was about to punch this black metal box bangbang——

"Bang!!!"

Then, he knew what these drones were good at besides reconnaissance.

The fire wave from the explosion engulfed Zheng Qi's tall figure in an instant.

This is not over yet, the next moment, two more drones catching up plunged into the smoke and dust more than two meters high, causing the second and third explosions.

In an instant, the scorching fire seemed to completely illuminate this gloomy place, and the deafening sound seemed to shake the entire huge frame structure.

Successful.

Hiding in the dark, the leader of this crossbowman team thought so.

Zheng Qi's appearance was an accident that he hadn't expected at all.

According to intelligence, apart from the Flametail Knights who often come to this small infected camp, there are basically no other personnel with combat capabilities.

The No.11 commercial block was not a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and the decision to do it today was the result of careful planning, no matter how you think about it, no one should interfere.

Moreover, it was such a troublesome guy who had never seen it before.

The leader of the crossbowman was quite sure that he had never seen this tall... from the characteristics, it should be Volpa or Anati?The leader of the crossbowman was not sure, because he had never seen such a tall Volpa or Anati.

But he was sure that he had never seen this guy.

Otherwise, for a character with such obvious characteristics, his professionalism would not allow him to forget him.

And the attack feedback from the few crossbow bolts just now was the main reason why the crossbowman team leader did not hesitate to use the three drones directly on Zheng Qi.

Facing a completely unknown opponent and completely unknown Originium skills, the crossbowman team leader chose to seek stability.

Anyway, even if there are only five drones left, it is enough to complete the task——

"That's enough..."

The voice from the smoke interrupted the crossbowman team leader's thoughts.

In the astonished eyes of this group of unarmored crossbowmen, Zheng Qi, whose white suit was blown to pieces but was completely unharmed, stretched out his right hand and stroked his forehead hair. His somewhat shaggy hair was combed into a straight back.

"It obviously doesn't smell like an explosive, but it can explode on its own."

"However, I'm relieved now."

He tore off the rags hanging from his upper body.

"Next, it will no longer be [fighting]."

Chapter 175 Chapter 5: The Golden Monster

Eight professionally trained and fully armed crossbowmen, eight drones carrying self-exploding origin stone units, such a team, let alone clearing a small infected gathering place without combatants, even if it is directly assassinating Some well-known knights are not without possibility of success.

To be honest, when he received this mission from Master Qingjin, the team leader of this crossbowman team thought it was a cheap job from the bottom of his heart.

It is only necessary to drive those infected people and the Flametail Knight who will come later to plot zero according to the request of the Qing Jin.

All in all, it is not difficult to make a lot of money.

In a sense, this is even an easy job that doesn't require them to confront the Flametail Knight head-on.

but--

What is going on with this guy in front of him? !

The crossbowman leader pulled the trigger in horror and fired another crossbow bolt.

Just like how he used the sharp arrows in the shadows to kill people hundreds of times, the arrows flying from the heavy mechanical crossbow accurately hit the target he was aiming at.

However, what they got in exchange was the silence of one member of the team.

The crossbow arrow that accurately hit the enemy's head, like his psychological defense line that was gradually collapsing, shattered after a crisp sound.

"seven."

Zheng Qi threw away another crossbowman who was conservatively estimated to be severely brain damaged.

Watching this scene, the leader of the crossbowman stood still in place.

For an unhatched crossbowman who can serve as the team leader, it is absolutely unacceptable behavior to stand still like this when facing the enemy.

But, only at this time, maybe the crossbowman team leader shouldn't be blamed.

12 seconds.

It only took about 12 seconds from when Zheng Qi started to get serious, to when only the crossbowman leader was left in the whole team.

The golden track that went up to the sky and into the ground in the darkness, together with the fear of the unknown, had penetrated deeply into the heart of the crossbowman team leader.

This is not playing dominoes, where people are piled up and pushed away.

This is an encounter in a complex environment like an underground pipeline!

...I, what exactly are I facing?

As the last member of the team except himself was thrown to the ground by Zheng Qi, such a question unconsciously popped up in the blank mind of the crossbowman team leader.

12 seconds was so short, so short that it was unbelievable how quickly he collapsed on his team.

12 seconds is so long, so long that at this moment, the crossbowman team leader also has a trance feeling that he is having a nightmare.

Not by amazing skill.

Not relying on powerful equipment.

During these 12 seconds, every explosion of the drone, every crossbow arrow fired, every short knife stabbed, all hit the tall figure firmly.

However, the more he hit, the more wanton the panic that had already quietly taken root in his heart grew.

The hit of the attack can no longer mean the end of the mission as usual, nor can it let him breathe a sigh of relief as usual.

Then, when he was the only one left facing that figure in the darkness, the crossbowman team leader only felt that the darkness he was used to in the past seemed to have suddenly turned his face.

In that deep place, something terrifying that he had never seen before and could not comprehend just fell before his eyes without warning.

Not a knight, not an assassin... not a man, not even a creature.
