Report

[Name: T1 Bulletproof Vest]

[Type: Armor]

[Rarity: Common]

[Defense: 1. Average defense against bullets; 2. Weak defense against cold weapons.]

[Attributes: None]

[Effects: None]

[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]

[Remarks: This is a bulletproof vest for the police, but don't think you can ignore bullets just because you put it on!]

The moment Kieran picked up the vest, the description of the [T1 Bulletproof Vest] appeared in front of him. After a quick glance, Kieran put it on without a second thought.

Compared to the [War-Torn Civilian Apparel], which had no defensive capabilities, the [T1 Bulletproof Vest] was much better.

It could block bullets and defend against close-range attacks.

Even though the latter was weaker, it gave Kieran more confidence to complete his plan.

Kieran pursed his lips and controlled his breathing to a faintly discernible level as he quietly moved towards his second target.

The second target did not notice his comrade's death.

The two of them were very close to each other.

Just like the thug Kieran had killed before, this one was also looking around casually without a care in the world.

He did not even notice the danger that was approaching him.

Kieran did not lie in ambush again. Instead, he approached the man from behind.

When he was only two steps away from the man, Kieran jumped forward and covered the man's mouth with his left hand, preventing him from making a sound. The dagger in his right hand slid across the man's throat.

In fact, Kieran's hands moved almost at the same time.

When the man tried to scream and bite Kieran's left hand, Kieran's dagger had already slit his throat.

Blood gushed out of the man's throat. After a while, the man stopped moving.

[Stabbing: Lethal Attack, Inflicts 100 Damage to Target HP, (50 Sharp Weapon (Dagger) (Basic) x2), Target dies …]

Just like before.

Kieran dragged the man's body into the ruins and looted the loot.

However, Kieran did not remove the [T1 Bulletproof Vest], only the fully loaded [M1905].

If he could wear two bulletproof vests, Kieran naturally wouldn't mind.

Unfortunately, wearing only one [T1 Bulletproof Vest] made him feel sluggish while running. If he wore another, his agility would definitely be affected.

The current situation did not allow Kieran's speed to be affected too much.

Because that would only make Kieran a living target.

Even if it was a live target with high defense, it would still be turned into a beehive in the end!

"Second one!"

Kieran muttered in his heart as he crouched and moved through the ruins.

After moving forward for about ten meters, Kieran stood in the shadows and slightly poked his head out to look at his third target.

Unlike the first two targets, who were walking among the ruins, the third target was standing on top of a pile of rubble and rotten wood, which was more than a meter tall. Even though the target was careless, Kieran couldn't make a move on it.

Because of the height, if Kieran walked over from the front, even with some of the ruins blocking his view, he would still be in the target's line of sight.

Kieran was not confident that he could ignore the target just because he had killed two of them.

After all, the gun in the target's hand was not just for show.

Should he go around the back?

Kieran looked at the target's irregular scanning and decided to give up on that idea.

He did not want to be discovered by the target when he turned around halfway.

"I'll give up on this target for now!"

A moment later, Kieran made up his mind.

He still had the [M1905] and had enough bullets.

However, Kieran did not want to use his gun so early.

It was not only because the target was wearing a bulletproof vest, but also because Kieran's shooting skills were not good enough to hit the target's head.

It was also because once the gun was fired, his position would be exposed!

There were seven of them, and five of them were still alive. Even though he had arranged a plan with Colleen, Kieran did not want to fight five of them at the same time.

"I need to kill at least two more of them!"

With that thought in mind, Kieran started to take a detour.

In order not to be discovered by the armed men on top of the ruins, Kieran took a long detour. He first went back to the spot where he had killed the first target, and then he started to take a detour.

About ten minutes later, when Kieran stopped, he was already behind the armed men.

With his good eyesight, Kieran saw five targets and quickly locked on to the third one.

It was the one on the left of Kieran's line of sight.

Compared to the two that Kieran had killed before, this one was even more sloppy.

At least, the previous two armed thugs were still pretending to search, while this armed thug squatted in a place where the other thugs couldn't see him, lit a cigarette, and puffed out smoke.

The man's carefree manner made Kieran his next target the moment he laid eyes on him.

Kieran carefully moved closer to the man's blind spot.

Although the man's attention was on the cigarette in his hand, it did not stop Kieran from being careful.

Kieran knew that accidents existed in this world.

There was no good way to reduce the number of accidents.

He could only be as careful as he could be.

As he was careful, the distance between Kieran and the man narrowed.

When he was less than two meters away from the man, he still did not notice Kieran. It was only when Kieran's dagger got close that he realized something was wrong.

However, it was obvious that it was too late!

Kieran did not care about the burning of the cigarette. He covered the man's mouth with his left hand and pulled the dagger back with his right hand.

Puk!

Similar to the previous two targets, the man's neck was slit and he fell to the ground, dead.

[Burn: Inflicts 1 Damage to HP]

[Stabbing: Lethal Attack, Inflicts 100 Damage to Target HP, (50 Sharp Weapon (Dagger) (Basic) x2), Target dies …]

[Sneak up to target three times without being noticed, Learned Skill: Undercover]

[Name: Undercover (Basic)]

[Related Attributes: Agility]

[Skill Type: Ancillary]

[Effects: Better use of shadows, making it harder for others to notice you, Increases Hiding by 10%]

[Consumes: Stamina]

[Prerequisites: Agility F]

[Remarks: You are only good at hiding, but not truly invisible!]

The moment the man fell to the ground, the system informed Kieran of the new skill, [Undercover (Basic)].

Suddenly, a series of knowledge appeared in Kieran's mind.

Kieran had experienced the skill twice, so he was already familiar with it.

After the transfer of knowledge was completed, Kieran's body was able to use the knowledge that he had just acquired in his mind.

"Three times?"

Kieran searched the body in front of him while checking the system notifications.

The same number as when he had learned [Sharp Weapon (Dagger) (Basic)] caught Kieran's attention.

"In the newbie dungeon, all I have to do is activate it three times and I'll get the corresponding skill?"

Kieran guessed.

But soon, Kieran came back to his senses.

He remembered what he should be doing at that moment, not thinking about it.

He had plenty of time in the future!

But now?

Kieran looked at the remaining four targets, and the information about undercover appeared in his mind again.

Then, Kieran quietly walked into the shadows, using the moonlight, the walls, and the shadows of the ruins to get closer to his next target.

If Kieran had been crawling when he got closer to his target, now he was walking.

He was even more stealthy and soundless.

He was like the best thief on the streets at night.

Or rather, an assassin.

The fourth!

The fifth!

Two more armed thugs stood in front of Kieran with [Undercover (Basic)]. Even though they were a lot more vigilant than the previous three, the result was the same. Kieran slit their throats from behind.

It was at that moment that Wurke the Jackal realized something was wrong.

The seven of them were searching the ruins. It would be normal if they did not see one or two people, but if most of them did not see them, even an idiot would have noticed something was wrong.

Wurke the Jackal was not an idiot, otherwise he would not have become the Vulture's right-hand man.

However, the contempt in his heart made him no different from an idiot.

He was even more of an idiot than an idiot!

He looked left and right, and when he did not see any more of his men, he shouted, "Tony, Jack, Ferlou, what are you guys doing? Come out now!"

While shouting, Hook clenched the gun in his hand.

There was no reply for a long time. Wurke looked at the ruins that he was familiar with, but at that moment, it felt like a stranger.

The shadows formed by the moonlight and the ruins were like the gaze of the devil, causing Wurke's back to break out in cold sweat.

When the night breeze blew past, Wurke the Jackal couldn't help but shiver.

"Wurke's head!"

The sudden shout made 'Jackal' Wurke tremble. When he realized it was his little brother, 'Jackal' Wurke instantly became furious.

"You …"

Bang!

Before he could finish cursing, a gunshot was fired.

The third target that Kieran had purposely avoided fell to the ground.

However, the man did not die because he had a bulletproof vest.

On the contrary, after he fell to the ground, he turned around and fired madly at the direction where the gunshot came from.

Wurke the Jackal, who had witnessed the whole process, aimed at the spot where the gunshot came from and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

Bang Bang Bang!
