"Songjia" walked out of the kitchen with a meat cleaver in one hand and her second spine in the other. The next moment, however, she stopped in her tracks.
She found that in less than ten seconds after she left, the living room had changed again. Lan and the others were still lying on the ground, unable to move even a finger. The speakers continued to play music, but Zhang Heng was nowhere to be seen.
When "Songjia" saw this, she could not help but curse, "F * ck! How did you get away?!" Just as she finished speaking, the sound of a window breaking came from the second floor.
"Songjia" immediately rushed out of the house and came to the front yard. As soon as she stepped out of the house, a bullet flew towards her face. Unable to dodge, Songjia had no choice but to take the bullet head-on.
She did not expect it to be a 25mm high-explosive bullet. This kind of bullet could penetrate 50mm steel plates, and after hitting the target, the explosives inside the bullet detonated, sending high-temperature, sharp shrapnel flying everywhere.
After "Songjia" took the shot, the area above her neck completely exploded. Blood and minced meat were almost plastered to the wall behind her. Many parts of her body were scratched by the shrapnel, and some of the shrapnel even pierced her muscles. She looked rather pathetic.
Zhang Heng, who fired the shot, was also slightly taken aback. In order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, he did not open his eyes in the living room. It was only when "Songjia" entered the kitchen that he slipped out. Hence, he did not see "Songjia's" transformed appearance.
And in order not to give the target time to fire, he did not take a closer look when he pulled the trigger. He could barely tell that he was aiming at the monster's head, but he did not expect that the so-called head was actually a giant tentacle. The thing that rushed out of the house obviously had nothing to do with humans.
However, he reacted quickly. He immediately adjusted the muzzle and aimed at the monster's chest.
However, the monster was not slow either. After being shot, it fell to the ground and rolled back into the house. So, Zhang Heng's second bullet only hit one of its legs. As a result, it went from having three legs to having two legs.
However, after encountering such a terrifying attack, the thing did not die even though it looked extremely miserable. It just let out a scream, then dragged its broken body and disappeared from Zhang Heng's sight.
At the same time, a black mist quickly enveloped the villa it was in.
Zhang Heng frowned. As soon as he took out the Filter Lens, he realized that it didn't work on the black fog at all. This wasn't the first time the Filter Lens failed. After all, it was just a Grade-D game item. It had no problem dealing with ordinary natural environments, but it might not be enough to deal with supernatural creatures.
With the black fog shrouding the place, Zhang Heng did not rush in rashly. Instead, he changed his sniping position and continued to aim at the door and window with the large-caliber sniper rifle in his hand.
The man and the monster fell into a stalemate.
The XM109 in Zhang Heng's hand was made with Lego bricks. Because he had to pass the security check on this trip to Greenland, he did not bring the Shrouded Sheath and the Pestilence Bone Bow with him. Naturally, the Infinite Building Block became his main weapon.
The time limit of the pistol he made earlier had long passed. This time, because he did not know who his opponent was, Zhang Heng chose a more lethal weapon — the XM109 produced by the Barrett Company. Instead of calling it a large-caliber sniper rifle, it was more appropriate to call it a shoulder gun.
The caliber of this sniper rifle reached an astonishing 25mm, and the high-explosive bullets it was equipped with were directly modified from the M789 high-explosive dual-use ammunition from the Apache helicopter. On the battlefield, it could even penetrate armored vehicles and tanks. It was a veritable killer weapon.
Of course, its 15kg weight meant that it could only be used for positional warfare. There was no way it could move.
This was also the reason why Zhang Heng used the noise on the second floor to lure "Song Jia" out. He did not expect the monster to have such a high health bar that it was still alive after taking two high-explosive bullets.
Just when Zhang Heng was guessing how serious the monster's injury was, the monster spoke first. It was still using Song Jia's voice, but this time, it sounded a little angry and shrill. "Why aren't you asleep?!"
"Of course, it's because I didn't absorb the thing you released," Zhang Heng said.
"How is that possible?"
"I have to admit that you are really good at disguising yourself. I didn't feel anything unusual during the day I spent with you, and I never suspected you."
"Hmph, that's because the one who was with you before was indeed Song Jia." Since it had been exposed, there was no need to hide the voice in the room. "I swapped identities with her when we were in the bar."
"No wonder. Was it … when she went to the toilet?" Zhang Heng thought for a while. "That's when she left my sight. You wanted to get close to me when I was drunk. That way, my thinking, observation, and judgment would be weakened to a certain extent."
"It's a pity that you drank three bottles of liquor, but you didn't seem to be drunk enough to lose your vigilance."
"I don't blame you. Not many people know that I can actually hold my liquor well." Zhang Heng rarely drank, and even the people around him thought that he couldn't drink. However, in the Black Sail quest, he had no access to clean water because he was drifting at sea all year round. He could only quench his thirst with rum, and Zhang Heng's alcohol tolerance had become quite good.
The monster in the black fog seemed to think of something, and its voice suddenly rose a few octaves. "You … did you deliberately put on that embarrassed look and ordered liquor to bait me?"
Zhang Heng did not deny it.
"How did you know I was coming for you?"
"I don't know who you are. I just want to see if anyone is watching me," Zhang Heng said. Zhang Heng said, "Since you know Kronos, you should also know that he is very good at keeping an eye on people. Besides, we just heard a bizarre story, and we saw an earthquake and a red aurora. I also have to be careful that something here is watching me."
"Have you always been so cautious?"
"Isn't it the same for me? Obviously, your disguise is very good, but you chose to approach me when I was drunk. And you used Song Jia to make me lower my guard first. After that, you brought me here to participate in this weird psychological massage. This way, I would focus all my attention on Ah Lan, the incense, and the music. However, there is nothing wrong with them. They are just used to cover up your little tricks."
