Report

"Bang! Bang! "

Suddenly, two muffled gunshots were heard.

"Ouch!"

In the distance, the Rat King's body exploded into two blooms of blood. It roared fiercely and swung its long tail violently, producing a sonic boom that broke through the sound barrier!

"Bang!"

Another burst of blood appeared on its body. The Rat King let out a sorrowful cry as it finally realized that it was going to be in big trouble. It could no longer care about the group of ordinary mutant rats. It moved its body and quickly fled into the distance. The surrounding mutant rats immediately dispersed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "

The heavy sound of the sniper rifle was heard continuously. Obviously, it was difficult to lock on to the fast moving King Rat. The three shots missed the target. Soon, the King Rat ran further and further away, leaving a trail of blood behind it.

"Good chance!" Luo Yuan thought and immediately chased after it.

The rest of the people were stunned for a moment, but they reacted at the same time and quickly followed. However, they were left far behind in a few seconds.

Luo Yuan's speed was extremely fast, almost comparable to a sprinting champion. However, his speed was still not as fast as the King Rat.

The King Rat's speed was gradually slowing down. The large caliber sniper bullet had left three bowl-sized wounds on its body. Blood kept flowing out of the wounds. It could not hold on for much longer.

After a few minutes, the King Rat's speed was getting slower and slower. A large amount of blood was rapidly draining its strength. Even its silver-white fur seemed to be gradually losing its luster.

It let out a sad cry from time to time, and its body began to shake.

"Please don't die, at least not now!" Luo Yuan murmured in his heart as he ran with all his might.

If he did not kill the King Rat himself, he would fail this mission. If he failed, he would be punished with double experience points. If he was not careful, he might even regress his level. This was not something he could bear. He panted heavily. His lungs were like bellows that couldn't bear the load and were on fire.

Finally, the distance between them was getting closer.

Luo Yuan was slightly excited.

The King Rat seemed to have sensed that it was about to die, or perhaps it knew that it could not escape in its current state. After running for a while, it suddenly stopped.

It turned around and looked at Luo Yuan. Under the moonlight, its blood-red eyes emitted a devouring light. It growled in a low voice, and the sharp corners of its mouth were pulled up by its muscles, revealing sharp fangs that were different from ordinary rats. A slender and thin tail swayed slightly behind it, and its blood-stained fur stood up as it made an attacking posture.

Luo Yuan slowly stopped and his face turned serious.

Even though this Rat King had been severely injured, it still couldn't be underestimated. The air was filled with an oppressive aura, and the surrounding insects suddenly became silent.

He gripped the hilt of his saber tightly and began to concentrate. He stared at the bloodthirsty eyes of the Rat King.

If it was a normal battle, he would drag the Rat King for as long as possible. However, time was exactly what he lacked. He had to end the battle as soon as possible.

After a moment of confrontation, Luo Yuan suddenly moved.

He stomped heavily on the ground, and his saber dragged along the ground. His body was almost at the same level as the ground, and as he crossed his legs, a shallow pit appeared on the ground. He was like a ferocious tiger rushing down the mountain.

Almost at the same time, a sonic boom came. Before it got close, Luo Yuan's hair was blown into the air, and there were small cuts on his face.

Facing the strong wind, Luo Yuan slightly squinted his eyes. His Agility was very high, and although it was affected by the other qualities of his body, it did not affect his vision. He could see a blurry tail sweeping towards him from the side.

If he was hit, his body would undoubtedly be cut into two.

His pupils constricted, and he quickly raised the Zhanmadao in his hand and slashed at the air.

There was a huge blockage on the saber, and when the tail was cut off, a terrifying force was transmitted through the Zhanmadao. Before the Rat King could react, its body was thrown into the air by the remaining force.

"Ow!" The Rat King roared in pain. It mustered the last of its strength and rushed towards Luo Yuan, who was in mid-air.

Luo Yuan forcefully controlled his body in mid-air, and landed heavily on the ground. He looked at the Rat King, who was rushing towards him, and did not dodge. He took a few steps forward, and the two of them quickly approached each other.

"Bang! Bang! "

Suddenly, Luo Yuan felt his heart palpitate, and his back felt like it was being pricked by needles. Before he could react, he felt a sudden pain in his back. He groaned, and his body was slightly deformed, followed by another wave of pain. Only then did he react, and he was shocked and angry. He could no longer maintain his fighting mentality, and looked at the Rat King that was about to pounce on him. He quickly rolled to the side and dodged to the side.

"What are you doing?" An angry voice came from afar. It was Huang Yaoguang's voice.

"I wanted to save him, but I didn't expect to accidentally hurt him. How am I supposed to shoot if he's so restrained?" Boss Zhou said in an indifferent tone. He was still shooting with his pistol, but this time he was shooting at the Rat King. After all, in his eyes, there was no way the Rat King could survive after being shot twice.

Hearing the conversation from afar, Luo Yuan was furious. Even the slowest person could understand what Boss Zhou was thinking. In order to get two portions of the Rat King's flesh, he had actually shot at his partner. If it wasn't for the bulletproof vest he was wearing, he wouldn't even know how he died. This guy really deserved to die.

Fortunately, the Rat King was distracted by the gun, and could not care about Luo Yuan, or else he would have been in real danger.

Luo Yuan felt his body was fine. He suddenly jumped up and caught up with the Rat King in a few steps. With a slash of his long knife, he cut off the Rat King's short leg. The Rat King paused for a moment, and the next moment, the Rat King, who had lost one of its legs, fell to the ground.

That was not the end. Luo Yuan strode towards the Rat King, and dragged his knife along its soft abdomen. The Rat King's belly was cut open, and its internal organs spilled all over the ground.

The Rat King raised its head in pain, and showed its ferocious fangs. It turned around and wanted to bite Luo Yuan, but a cold light slid across its throat, and blood gushed out like a fountain. Luo Yuan was worried that it would not die, so he stabbed the knife diagonally upwards from its throat, and only when the tip of the knife touched its brain did he pull it out.

The Rat King's head fell heavily on the ground, and it could only exhale, but not inhale.

A few seconds later, the system notification finally appeared, "Optional mission, E- Level Mission: Kill the Rat King, completed. Mission Completion Time: 2 hours and 5 minutes. Mission Evaluation: Average. "

"Basic Experience Reward: 800"

"Evaluation: Average, Experience + 0"

Phew, it was finally completed.

Luo Yuan let out a sigh of relief. Although the evaluation was average and there was no experience reward, Luo Yuan was satisfied that he had completed the mission successfully. He turned around and looked at the group of people walking towards him.

Everyone's footsteps slowed down. Boss Zhou's face was a little gloomy, and his right hand was holding the gun tightly.

His face was cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Is no one going to give me an explanation?

Huang Yaoguang wanted to say something, but Luo Yuan stopped him.

"Chen Haiyan, this Boss Zhou is your man, right? I'll give you face. How do you think he should be punished for shooting his partner? "

Everyone quickly looked at Boss Zhou and Chen Haiyan.

Chen Haiyan's face was a little pale as she said, "Luo Yuan, this is probably an accident. It's inevitable during a battle. Fortunately, you're fine. How about we let Boss Zhou apologize to you and compensate you?

What do you think? "He did not see the situation clearly, and thought it was just an accident. Moreover, he was the one who had called Boss Zhou over, and they had a good relationship.

Luo Yuan's index finger pointed at Chen Haiyan, and he was so angry that he laughed. Then his face turned serious, "Accident? What an accident! I've never heard of anyone being shot twice in a row, and the reason is that it was an accident. If I hadn't been wearing a bulletproof vest, I would have deserved to die! "

Luo Yuan said as he slowly walked towards them.

Everyone was in an uproar. Qian Dakui and the others' faces quickly turned gloomy, and they felt a chill in their hearts. After all, no one wanted to have such a person in their team. Shooting someone from the back had always been a big taboo in a team.

A few of them could not help but take a step back, making way for Boss Zhou and the others. Even Chen Haiyan was distanced from him.

Chen Haiyan's face was pale, and she was secretly cursing Boss Zhou for trying to kill his own people. It would have been fine if Boss Zhou had really died, as no one would fight for a dead person. If one of them died, there would be one less person to share the spoils of war. The point was that Boss Zhou was still alive and kicking, and now he had implicated her.

Luo Yuan's face was gloomy as he walked towards them step by step, his whole body emitting a palpitating aura.

"What do you want?" Boss Zhou said stubbornly, taking a step back. He sounded like he was admitting defeat. He looked at Luo Yuan, who was walking towards him slowly, his right hand that was holding the gun was wet.

"I'm a person who distinguishes between kindness and hatred. Since you shot me twice, I'll have to stab you twice. It's very fair!" Luo Yuan said.

Everyone dispersed to the sides, and Boss Zhou's men were sweating profusely. They looked to their left and right, and then retreated hesitantly.

Chen Haiyan seemed like she wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and did not say anything in the end.

"Useless!" Boss Zhou scolded his men. He swallowed his saliva, stepped back slowly, and said to Luo Yuan, "Aren't you afraid of losing your life?"

"I'm more afraid of being shot by someone else in the future!" Luo Yuan stared at him.

"Then you can go to hell!" Boss Zhou knew that he could not escape this time, so he made up his mind. He quickly raised his right hand and pulled the trigger to shoot at Luo Yuan. He had only fired once when his hand suddenly felt cold, followed by a sharp pain.

He hugged his broken hand and screamed in pain. He kept stepping back, cold sweat dripping down his face. He was finally afraid. "Spare me, Boss Luo! I deserve to die, I won't do it again! I still have a wife and a child, you can't kill me! "

"If your wife is ugly, you don't have to worry at all. If your wife is beautiful, then you don't have to worry at all. This is only one stab, you still owe me one! "Luo Yuan sneered.

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and quickly stabbed the Zhanmadao into the man's stomach. He twisted it forcefully until he was sure that the man's intestines were cut. Only then did he quickly pull it out. Blood slowly flowed down the blade.

Boss Zhou held his stomach, his face twisted as he fell to the ground. His body could not stop twitching, and blood slowly flowed down his mouth. He stared at Luo Yuan and said with difficulty, "You … You're so cruel!"

Everyone looked at Boss Zhou, who was slowly breathing his last, and then at the Rat King, whose stomach had been cut open, throat slit, and brain pierced by Luo Yuan. They could not help but feel sad.

However, in this world, if you did not treat others harshly, others would treat you harshly.

"Since everything is settled, let's divide the Rat King, shall we?" Chen Haiyan said. She had completely recovered, "There's not much time left, the soldiers should be here soon."

Due to the lack of time, everyone quickly acted.

Luo Yuan stabbed the tip of his knife into the neck of the Rat King, then pulled it horizontally, and the entire head was cut off. He thought for a while, then cut off a hind leg and stopped. Although he could still get a little more, it would inevitably leave an impression that he was greedy. Moreover, he had already gotten some of the best parts.

His knife was sharp enough to cut through iron like it was mud. Although the Rat King's skin was tough, it did not pose much of a hindrance to his light blue Zhanmadao. When Luo Yuan took out the sack from his pocket and put all the spoils into it, the rest of them were still sweating profusely while cutting the meat.

Luo Yuan looked at the time, said goodbye to Huang Yaoguang and the rest, and chose another path to leave quickly.

He did not dare to stay there for long. The soldiers were searching everywhere, and as long as they followed the blood trail, they would arrive very soon. The longer he stayed there, the more danger he would be in.

There were still some mutated rats scattered around the garbage dump, and the sudden escape of the Rat King had left them at a loss. They were running around like headless flies.

Luo Yuan killed a few normal mutated rats along the way, and put them all into the sack. He still needed to trade gasoline with Fatty Xie, and he could also hide the things inside to avoid exposure.

He waited until he blended into the crowd. Luo Yuan let out a sigh of relief and followed the crowd to the shantytown. He saw a few military jeeps parked at the intersection. There were also a few armed policemen standing nearby. Looking at their relaxed faces, it was obvious that they had not received the news yet.

Luo Yuan took a glance and then looked away. Not long after, he found Fatty Xie. The food he had brought had obviously been sold out. It was rare to encounter a rat tide, so no matter how much food he had, it would not be enough to trade.

He stood on a huge rock, looking left and right. He had originally planned to leave, but he had taken advantage of the devaluation of the rat meat. He had already collected enough mutated rats, and it would be difficult for him to digest them in a short time. These things were not food, so they could not be stored for a long time.

Moreover, the processed food could not be sold at a high price, so there was bound to be some losses.

But after thinking about it, he decided to wait. Since he had decided to make friends, he could not give up halfway. Although the gasoline was precious, it was really nothing for someone like him who had some connections.

"Brother Luo, you're finally here. You really made me wait for a long time." Fatty Xie jumped down from the rock as soon as he saw Luo Yuan, the fat on his belly jiggling.

"Were you delayed by something?" Luo Yuan said lightly, and then quickly changed the topic. "Did you bring the gasoline?"

"I brought it a long time ago. I was just waiting for you." Fatty Xie smiled and said, "There are 30 liters in total. How much do you want?"

"Let's find a place with fewer people to trade," Luo Yuan said to Fatty Xie, looking at the armed policemen nearby.

"Okay, let's go to the intersection," Fatty Xie said indifferently, following Luo Yuan's gaze. He waved, and two of his men walked over with two plastic buckets, one of which was filled with gasoline.

They left the garbage dump and chose a remote corner.

Luo Yuan threw the mutated rats on the ground one by one. There were seven of them in total.

Fatty Xie squatted down and checked carefully, not caring about the smell of blood. Each of the mutated rats was still warm, which meant they had died not long ago. There was only one wound on the top of their heads. The surface of the wound was smooth, but it went straight to the brain. Even the size was the same, as if they had been measured with a ruler.

Fatty Xie was secretly shocked, and his evaluation of Luo Yuan improved. He said with a smile, "I roughly estimated that each of these mutated rats weighed about six catties. After the blood was completely drained, it would be about five catties of meat. That would be 2.5 liters of gasoline in total. I won't bother. You can take this 30-liter barrel of gasoline first, and you can pay me the difference later. "

Luo Yuan knew that Fatty Xie was expressing goodwill. With today's market, one catty of mutated rat meat could not even be exchanged for three catties of food, so Fatty Xie was at a loss. But that was the way of communication. If you wanted to get something, you had to pay first. If you were at a disadvantage, you would be at a disadvantage. After a few exchanges, their relationship would be built.

But there was no harm in doing so. Plus, he might need Fatty Xie's help in the future, so he understood and said, "Happy working with you in the future."

After the transaction was completed, the two of them became much closer.

Fatty Xie said mysteriously, "I heard that there was a Rat King today. Brother Luo, did you see it?"

Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but he soon realized that there was no need to worry. He relaxed and said unwillingly, "Don't mention it. Just thinking about it makes me angry. I was so close to success, but the armed police took it away, so I had to retreat. Otherwise, I wouldn't have only killed a few mutated rats. "

Fatty Xie did not suspect anything. He sighed and said softly, "Once a Lord-level creature appears in Donghu City, the army and the armed police will not let it go. Now the price of one catty of this kind of meat is sky high. If Brother Luo can get it, please contact me. The price is definitely not a problem. "

"If I can get it, I won't forget you, Boss Xie. But it's hard to find such a creature, and each of them is very dangerous. Even if we meet one, we won't be able to kill it." Luo Yuan suddenly had an idea. "If you can get a sniper rifle, there's still hope."

He had a deep impression of the armed police's sniper rifle. It had only taken a few shots to seriously injure the light blue level creature. Moreover, the bullets had not hit its vital parts. If they had hit its head or heart, it would have been a fatal shot. If he could get one, his future missions would be much easier.

Fatty Xie was shocked. "Brother Luo, you're too bold. The government can turn a blind eye to handguns. After all, the world is different. But a sniper rifle is definitely a prohibited item. Even in the whole of Donghu City, there aren't many of them. "

"That's what I was thinking," Luo Yuan said. He had not expected much, but he was not disappointed either. It seemed that it would be impossible to get such a gun unless he had a relationship with the army and a strong backer.

Luo Yuan was not in the mood to continue the conversation. He did not want to delay any longer, so he quickly left.
