Delta: I have a 1-Haf Coin instant kill system!

"For the first blow, let's collect some interest! Reis, you just wait!"

He muttered something under his breath and reached for the gun hanging on the other man's shoulder.

It was a Bison submachine gun, a bare gun with no modifications whatsoever.

The gun body was badly worn, and there were several scratches on the handguard.

Zhang Zhao picked it up and weighed it in his hand; it was far inferior to the guns in the GTI training ground!

"That's really old..."

He muttered something, but still tore two magazines off the corpse and stuffed them into his combat uniform pocket, then slung the Bison across his back.

Having a gun is better than not having one!

In this world, guns are the only means of survival!

However, he wouldn't use this thing unless absolutely necessary.

Longbow Valley is, after all, the enemy's main base.

Once the gunshot rings out, the only option left is to use the "Soul Separation" ability to escape; there will be no other choice.

Zhang Zhao stood up and glanced at the cooldown countdown of Dark Nightmare!

[Dark Nightmare: On cooldown - 43 seconds remaining]

This skill has a 45-second cooldown, which isn't long.

Zhang Zhao didn't wait, but crouched down and crept forward along the wall.

The corridor was short, ending at an iron gate that was half-open, with dim yellow light leaking out from the crack.

On the Relink brain-computer interface thermal image, there are two bright spots standing side by side about 15 meters ahead, presumably on guard duty.

Thirty meters ahead, there were three more points of light clustered together, probably chatting or playing cards.

Zhang Zhao stood close to the iron gate.

【Walking in the Shadows——】

He took a step forward and appeared silently behind the two soldiers on guard.

The two men had their backs to him; one was smoking, and the other was fiddling with a walkie-talkie in his hand.

Zhang Zhao didn't use a dagger; he extended both hands simultaneously.

He covered the mouth of the soldier on the left with his left hand and strangled the neck of the soldier on the right with his right arm.

Simultaneous exertion!

"Click—"

Two crisp sounds rang out, and both bodies went limp at the same time.

Zhang Zhao released his grip and gently placed the two corpses on the ground.

Just as I was about to continue forward, I heard the voices of the three people ahead.

"Why has the boss been telling us to tie up so many yellow-skinned monkeys lately?"

"I heard it's the same yellow-skinned monkey they sold last time; the seller said it was good..."

"Tsk~ Yellow-skinned monkeys are all very clever, they're difficult to deal with~"

"Who says otherwise? Like that silly girl from last time~"

Zhang Zhao was speechless!

No need to guess who I'm talking about, it's him!

Those bastards were also partly responsible for the first blow!

very good!

You have already chosen the path to your deaths!

Zhang Zhao took a deep breath, clenched his hands in front of him, and black mist surged from his palms.

Black Barrier!

A smoky orb condenses!

With a thought, Zhang Zhao sent the magic orb through the iron gate in front of him, and it floated toward the three soldiers!

He didn't wait, he clenched his fists—

Trampling shadows!

He took a step forward and appeared on the other side of the iron gate, no more than five meters away from the three people.

The black smoke drifted above the three people's heads, instantly enveloping them!

"Hmm—"

"What is that—"

"I've been transported to another world? Why is everything around me filled with black mist?"

Three exclamations rang out simultaneously, but the sound lasted for less than half a second.

Because Zhang Zhao had already rushed in front of them.

The dagger was drawn, and it slashed across the throat of the nearest person!

Blood splattered, but Zhang Zhao didn't stop. He turned his body and punched the second man in the temple with his left fist.

The punch landed with full force on the man's temple, causing his head to snap to one side and his body to go limp.

The third person reacted the fastest!

Although he was surrounded by smoke, he instinctively rolled backward while reaching for the gun at his waist.

Zhang Zhao didn't give him a chance, got up and stepped forward, stomping on his wrist.

"ah--"

Before he could even scream, the dagger was already plunged into his throat!

Zhang Zhao drew his dagger and took a step back.

Three corpses lay sprawled on the ground.

Zhang Zhao squatted down and searched the three of them.

Two Bison assault rifles, one AKS-74U, several magazines, several packs of cigarettes, a lighter, and a wad of crumpled banknotes.

HAFCoin!

Zhang Zhao counted them; they were probably four or five hundred yuan.

He stuffed the banknotes into his pocket, then picked up the AKS-74U and examined it.

This gun is in much better condition than the Bison; although the barrel is worn, it's still in pretty good shape.

Zhang Zhao threw away the bison, slung the AKS-74U across his back, and stuffed a few magazines into his pocket.

Standing up, the Relink brain-computer interface showed that there were no more signs of life ahead.

He was temporarily safe within the area, but he did not let his guard down.

Longbow Valley is Asara's territory, and it's full of patrols and sentries!

He continued forward along the corridor.

At the end was a double iron gate, half-open, leading to a spacious courtyard.

The moonlight shone down, illuminating the courtyard in a half-light, half-dark atmosphere.

Zhang Zhao pressed himself against the doorframe, and the Relink brain-computer interface automatically scanned forward—

Twenty meters to the northwest outside the courtyard wall, there are two stationary points of light!

Inside the house on the east side, four moving lights are playing cards!

Inside the pickup truck cab, a point of light—

The point of light suddenly moved!

He seemed to realize he was being scanned and suddenly opened his eyes!

Zhang Zhao's pupils suddenly contracted.

Did he sense me?

This thought lasted for less than 0.1 seconds.

"Bang—"

The pickup truck door was kicked open!

The iron gate slammed into the car, bounced back, and was then stepped on by a leather boot.

Under the moonlight, a dark face stood with half a cigar dangling from his mouth.

"I'm going to send you flying!"

It's Reese!

Zhang Zhao had already seen the other person's elbow when he heard those words!

Reis was actually planning to pierce the metal door in front of him!

Seeing that he had been discovered, Zhang Zhao had no choice but to use the Soul Separation Technique!

"boom--"

The metal door panel deformed violently under the elbow strike.

The iron gate slammed against the wall, bounced back, and was then stepped on by Reis.

Moonlight streamed into the corridor, illuminating Reis's狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face.

Where are they?

He swept across the corridor, and behind him, several Asara soldiers rushed out of the barracks, guns in hand, looking bewildered.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Reis did not answer.

His brows slowly furrowed.

He clearly sensed someone watching him just now—

But there was nothing behind the door.

Reis stepped into the corridor, which was empty except for a few corpses in the distance.

Reis crouched down and reached out to touch the bloodstains on the ground.

It's still warm!

"He died less than two minutes ago!"

He stood up, his gaze sweeping across the corridor, but nothing seemed amiss.

Reis walked over to the two corpses behind the iron gate and squatted down to examine their wounds.

His neck was snapped cleanly and decisively, without any unnecessary movements!

"Wow, that's professional!"

Reis stood up, his gaze falling on the two discarded Bison submachine guns in the corner.

The gun is intact, and the magazine is full.

They didn't even bring a gun?

Do not--

Reis noticed that the weapons were missing from the ground.

Three guns: two Bison and one AKS-74U, but only two were on the ground.

"AKS got taken! Is this guy picky?"

Reis muttered to himself, his brow furrowing even more.

An infiltrator sneaked into Longbow Valley, killed five people, took an AKS-74U, and then disappeared?

There were no gunshots, no signs of a struggle, and not even footprints were left.

"Boss, should we sound the alarm?"

A soldier poked his head in from outside the door. Reis paused for two seconds, then shook his head.

"Need not."

He turned around and walked towards the door.

Under the moonlight, the cigar tip flickered.

Reis took a deep breath, exhaled smoke, and looked into the distance.

"interesting!"

He said it in a low voice, and a slow smile crept onto his lips.

"Someone from GTI? Or from Hafk?"

No one answered, but Reese felt that he already had the answer in his heart.

The only one who could sneak up here so quietly must be that nameless guy from Hafk, right?

Reis put the cigar in his mouth, reached into his combat uniform pocket with his right hand, and pulled out a device about the size of his palm.

The screen was blank.

Reese stared at the screen for a long time before putting it back in his pocket.

We'll meet again someday!

He turned around and walked towards the barracks.

"Dispose of the body and increase patrols!"

"yes!"
