Nightmare Despair

Chapter 94 Shooting
With his mind focused on the panel, he silently recited the desired effect, and the amount of experience points consumed immediately appeared.

【18】

Install a silencer on Qiu Ping's small pistol; the panel price is 18 points.

The anti-material sniper rifle in front of me has a barrel thicker than a young lady's arm and is powerful enough to blast a person into pieces, yet it only costs eighteen points.

"More for the same price, excellent value for money."

A smile flashed across Zhou Kai's face, and he immediately chose to upgrade.

Unsurprisingly, this gun will not only be a deadly weapon in nightmares, but also a powerful artifact capable of turning the tide in reality.

Zhou Kai couldn't even imagine how many people would covet an anti-materiel sniper rifle that was known to an organization like "The Hotel."

[You have spent 18 experience points to upgrade your 'Gran Industries Anti-Material Sniper Rifle RK'. It has some new changes...]

A faint white light flowed along the metallic texture of the gun and then disappeared, and at first glance, nothing seemed to have changed.

The gun was still the same gun, heavy and gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen.

But Zhou Kai knew that the upgrade was already complete.

He picked up the sniper rifle, showing no intention of testing its effectiveness, and turned to leave.

Zhou Kai looked up, his gaze sweeping across the spacious, high ceiling of the mansion.

The pounding sound of feet continued relentlessly, indicating that the thing outside was quite persistent and wouldn't stop until it tore him to pieces.

He swung the heavy two-handed sword behind his back, and then steadily held up the cold barrel of the spear.

The hunt begins!

The image of the collapsed corner that Zhou Kai had glimpsed when Elizabeth threw him flashed through his mind. He slowed his pace, his whole body blending into the shadows of the building, and made his way between the second and third floors.

This time, Zhou Kai was lucky. As soon as he reached the third floor, he found a cramped corner filled with scattered rocks.

He quickly glanced around and determined that the entrance was wide enough for him to escape at any time and could also block Elizabeth's position. Without further hesitation, he lowered his body, crawled inside, raised his gun, rested the butt against his shoulder, and pointed the iron sights outward. His movements were swift and decisive.

The native night vision function of this sniper rifle's scope is not top-notch; the influence of the distant burning flames actually makes the light and shadow in the field of vision more chaotic.

At this moment, Zhou Kai had no idea about upgrading the night vision function.

This battle doesn't require long-range sniping; iron sights are sufficient.

Next, Zhou Kai took the oil lamp out of his inventory and carefully placed it next to a narrow gap, in a spot where he wouldn't be caught directly, and then gently snapped his fingers.

Snapped!
The lamp wick lit up instantly, and a pure, warm yellow halo of light shone through the gaps between the stone slabs, splashing into the rain outside.

The light shimmered in the rain.

Like a candle flame that lures moths.

"bring it on……"

Zhou Kai's finger rested lightly on the trigger, his breathing slowed, and he became one with his surroundings, turning into a lifeless rock, waiting for his prey to step into the trap.

Level 1 marksmanship is sufficient.

As long as the distance is close enough, this level is enough for him to hit exactly where he points.

Sure enough, the wolf-headed, human-bodied monster was very sensitive to light.

Almost the instant the light appeared, a piercing shriek rang out.

Soon, a ferocious claw, resembling both a human hand and a wolf's claw, suddenly reached under the stone slab and scratched at Zhou Kai repeatedly, making a piercing sound as it scraped against the hard ground.

Zhou Kai watched this scene expressionlessly, and even felt a little like laughing.

He moved his lips slightly, silently making a mouth shape.

Die.

The next second, he pulled the trigger!
The bullet left the barrel, but made no sound.

There was no deafening roar, not even the whistling sound of a bullet tearing through the air.

After a moment that was almost impossible to detect by hearing.

puff!
A muffled thud erupted from Elizabeth's body as the bullet, powerful enough to pierce the armor of an infantry fighting vehicle, cleanly and decisively pierced its body and disappeared into the night sky.

"Uh-huh..."

Some monsters can feel pain.

Elizabeth is clearly among them.

The excruciating pain that pierced its body caused its massive form to stiffen abruptly.

Elizabeth stood there stunned for a moment, then let out a long, piercing scream, slipped, and fell from the edge of the third floor.

Zhou Kai seized the opportunity, immediately concealed his breathing, got up, extinguished the oil lamp, and silently slipped out of his hiding place like a cat.

The gun barrels were lowered, pointing towards the bottomless darkness below.

The true value of absolute silence is fully revealed at this moment. A silent attack means that it will not attract any unnecessary prying eyes.

Using the dark red glow cast by the distant burning flames, Zhou Kai's eyes gleamed with an ominous red light in the darkness, precisely capturing Elizabeth's falling and struggling figure.

In the midst of a downpour.

Zhou Kai's tall and broad figure loomed above, like a silent Grim Reaper, coldly locking onto the prey tumbling in the mud below.

Raise the gun and aim.

Pull the trigger.

First shot.

hit.

Second shot.

hit.

Until the fourth shot.

hit.

He fired the remaining four bullets in the magazine in one go.

Elizabeth, who had been fierce and menacing, was now lying weakly in the pool of water formed by the rain. Several holes, which could be considered as blood, were now gushing out from her body.

One of the bullets appeared to have shattered its spine, leaving half of its body immobile. It could only whimper and howl in despair in the mud, awaiting death.

Zhou Kai won this battle decisively.

Almost simultaneously, the willow-shaped figure that had been standing like a towering torch in front of Gate 777 began to move slowly, its flames gradually fading into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, both crises were resolved.

This unexpected turn of events reignited Zhou Kai's greed, which had initially been tempted to abandon the plan to retrieve Elizabeth's body for the sake of caution.

"What good would burning you do for me?"

Zhou Kai didn't think any further; action was his only answer.

He slung the sniper rifle back over his shoulder and gripped the heavy greatsword once more.

Then, he glanced again at the willow people who were moving towards the low-lying area of ​​the town, as the firelight receded into the distance.

Zhou Kai's mind raced: "To minimize the chances of accidents and safely transport the body back, we must do it now! Before the light of the infernal fire completely dies out!"

These monsters are extremely resilient; even if a bullet pierces their skull, they may not die instantly. There's no need to waste experience points refreshing the magazine.

It's both time-consuming and uses up a lot of bullets.

Why not send it on its way yourself!

"I'm not patient enough to waste time with you using a gun anymore."

Zhou Kai, carrying a greatsword, bent his knees slightly and leaped directly from the broken section on the third floor.

The broad blade drew a fierce arc in the air, whistling through the rain, aiming straight for Elizabeth's head below.

The heavy sword, falling along with Zhou Kai's own weight, was no less powerful than when it launched a victorious charge.

boom!
With a loud bang, Elizabeth's head, which was four times larger than normal, exploded instantly like a smashed, rotten watermelon.

After smashing the skull, Zhou Kai's greatsword continued its momentum, embedding itself more than half a foot deep into the ground.

He pulled the greatsword out with force.

A huge eyeball, still connected to the optic nerve, splattered from the shattered skull and landed right at his feet, its murky pupil reflecting his image.

tread!
Zhou Kai, expressionless, stomped down and crushed it to dust.

"You're about to die, and you're still looking at me like that..."

He waited two seconds, but the kill message didn't light up.

"They're really tough."

Zhou Kai shook his head, raised his greatsword again, and thrust it into Elizabeth's body through the bursting mouth, stirring it violently.

The monsters in the nightmare were resilient, and Zhou Kai had enough patience to kill them completely.

After a dozen or so breaths, Zhou Kai pulled the greatsword out of the monster's chest cavity. The blade and his gauntlets were already completely soaked in thick blood.

A line of subtitles finally flashed before my eyes at this moment.
