"Boom — —!"
Amidst the roaring explosion, in the warehouse street to the south of the abandoned city, a warehouse suddenly exploded, causing the wind of the explosion to be like a wave, accompanied by the shock wave sweeping in all directions.
Black smoke curled up.
Waves of fire spread.
The shockingly powerful bomb caused the entire warehouse to explode like a rubber ball, causing the flames to burn continuously. Even the temperature in the air rose by several times, shaking the surrounding warehouses. The asphalt road also became extremely hot, as if it was being roasted.
"It exploded!"
"It exploded!"
"What happened? What happened? "
"Are those two people dead?"
Many players in VRMMO who clearly saw this scene exclaimed one after another.
"Leader!"
"Leader!"
Inside ALO, in the guild bar on the 20th floor of Aincrad, many Red Wings members also stood up and exclaimed in surprise.
"Rozen …!"
Everyone, including Yasna and the others, stood up in shock.
During the BoB Tournament, although the tournament was broadcasted live, the sound would not be heard, so many people didn't know what Rozen and Shi Nai said, and what caused the current situation, causing Shi Nai to be captured, and Rozen to rescue her.
However, a few seconds before the bomb exploded, Rozen and Shi Nai were indeed in the warehouse, which everyone saw.
Immediately afterward, the screen switched to the outside of the warehouse, letting everyone see the warehouse explode, but no one knew what happened to Rozen and Shi Nai.
This made everyone's heart beat faster.
Under such circumstances, no one saw …
"Cough, cough …!"
Outside the exploded warehouse, Shi Nai was lying on the ground, coughing constantly.
"Did you make it?"
Rozen also laid on the ground, even on Shi Nai's body, as if protecting Shi Nai under his body. He turned his head, looked behind him, and took in the ruins of the Explosive Flame Scroll.
In the end, Rozen still managed to make it in time. When there were only two seconds left on the countdown timer, he cut off the chain, hugged Shi Nai, and rushed out of the warehouse in one breath, escaping the disaster.
"We … we didn't die?"
Shi Nai shook her dazed head, as if she had finally regained consciousness. Looking at the warehouse that was shrouded in bursting flames, her pretty face was still pale.
The camera then switched to the two of them, allowing everyone to see their current situation.
Seeing that Rozen and Shi Nai were not killed on the spot, many people could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment …
“.....！”
The expression of Rozen, who was lying on Shi Nai's body, suddenly changed. He hugged Shi Nai again and rolled away from the spot.
Then …
"Xiu!"
Amidst the faint sound of air being pierced, a bullet actually cut through the air and shot from a distant direction, landing where Rozen was originally standing.
"Bang!"
Compared to the explosion, the sound of explosions that were too soft rang out.
The bullet fell straight to the ground, leaving a shocking bullet mark on the ground like a spark.
"Wh … what?"
Shi Nai couldn't react in time. Looking at the bullet mark on the ground, her pretty face suddenly changed.
On the contrary, Rozen's eyes flashed.
"So they were lying in ambush around here?"
Rozen seemed to understand something.
But the situation did not improve.
Not long after, a transparent red ray shone and fell on Rozen's forehead.
It was the trajectory prediction line.
Seeing this, Shi Nai finally understood.
Someone was sniping.
And the target was Rozen.
As for the identity of the other party, was there a need to guess?
"Dead Shot …!"
There was no second person except the culprit who caused all this.
The next second …
"Xiu!"
The sharp sound of air being pierced sounded again, causing the sniper rifle's bullet to explode.
Before that, Shi Nai didn't hear any movement at all.
In other words, Shi Nai didn't hear the gunshot at all.
It was not because it was covered by the explosion of the warehouse, but because the other party's gun didn't make a gunshot.
In this case, either an optical sniper rifle with a very quiet sound was used, or a silencer was added to the sniper rifle.
A sniper rifle with such a silencer could suppress the sound of gunfire to a certain extent, but in addition to affecting the hit rate and range, this thing was also an expensive consumable, and ordinary people couldn't afford to use it at all.
However, the other party's bullet was obviously a live bullet, proving that the other party was using a sniper rifle with a silencer, but still had an amazing hit rate.
Obviously, the other party was a master with extraordinary skills, and at the same time, he was quite rich.
At the same time, Shi Nai also understood why she was hit by the other party's sniper without noticing at all when she was in the forest.
Among them, Shi Nai's own carelessness must have played a part, but the bigger reason was that the other party had such skills. The sniper rifle also added a silencer, which caught Shi Nai off guard and directly hit her.
Now, the other party took advantage of the moment when the two of them were out of trouble and had just let down their guard in their hearts to launch such an attack.
If it wasn't for Rozen's extremely keen senses and discovered the sniper in advance, at this time, if Shi Nai was targeted, she would have died on the first sniper shot, right?
In addition, the other party was the murderer that Rozen said could really kill the person he killed. If Shi Nai was shot just now, would she still be alive now?
At the thought of this, Shi Nai couldn't help but shudder.
However, at this time, Rozen had already pushed her away, causing the two to roll to the sides as if they had bounced off each other.
"Bang!"
The second bullet hit the ground again, and after sparking, it bounced off directly.
The other party's second sniper also ended in failure.
Thus, the third trajectory prediction line shone.
However, this time, the trajectory prediction line didn't fall on Rozen.
Perhaps realizing that his sniper was useless against Rozen, the other party's trajectory prediction line fell directly on Shi Nai.
It fell on Shi Nai's forehead.
"Ah …"
At this moment, Shi Nai's mind went blank.
"Swoosh …"
At the same time, there was a sudden sound of breaking air, causing the third sniper rifle bullet to fly across the sky and fly straight to the center of Shi Nai's forehead.
Shi Nai had already seen the bullet.
It was as if time had slowed down in the whole world. Shi Nai clearly saw the bullet, causing its head to gradually enlarge in her eyes.
Although it was just a virtual bullet in the imaginary world, Shi Nai already knew that it was a fatal bullet that could penetrate the barrier of the world, pass through time and space at the moment of hitting her, and fall on her body in reality.
Death, once again, was close to her.
(Am I finally going to die?)
At the last moment before her death, this was the thought that rose in Shi Nai's heart.
Perhaps, in that car accident when she was two years old, she should have died.
Perhaps, in that incident five years ago, she should have been pierced by such a bullet.
Now, death, which had been delayed for so long, had finally arrived.
(I …)
Was this relief?
Shi Nai thought so silently.
Until that figure appeared.
