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

The five men advanced rapidly along the bottom of the valley, and Hamk's pursuers had not yet caught up.

But it was only a matter of time before the commotion caused by Luna's two grenades drew them over.

The valley bends ahead.

The monstrous claw stopped at the corner and pressed itself against the earthen wall.

She peeked out halfway around the corner and glanced at the terrain after turning the corner, only making the hand gesture after confirming it was safe.

The team continued without stopping, turning the bend one by one.

After passing the bend, the terrain of the valley suddenly rises.

The earthen walls on both sides narrowed rapidly, and the terrain ahead suddenly rose, with a near-vertical cliff stretching out in front of us.

The cliff is about twenty meters high, and its surface is weathered rock with cracks.

At the top of the cliff, an abandoned concrete building stands silently in the night.

Zhang Zhao raised his head, his gaze moving upwards along the cliff face.

It was an old water conservancy observation station, but its overall structure was relatively well preserved.

The platform's location and orientation allow for a panoramic view of most of the valley behind it, as well as the distant city of Wutan.

The Claws had clearly also noticed the building's geographical advantages.

She slowed her pace and glanced at Zhang Zhao.

There was no further communication between the two; a single glance was enough for Zhang Zhao to understand.

He nodded slightly, his body swaying gently in place.

The next second, a cloud of black mist surged from the soles of his feet, enveloping him completely, and he vanished without a trace.

As Hazlaw watched the figure vanish into thin air, even though it wasn't the first time he'd witnessed it, he couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly.

Zhang Zhao's figure materialized at the top of the cliff.

He crouched down, held the scope up to his eyes, and scanned the direction he had come from.

About five or six kilometers away, a dense group of figures moved quickly, at least thirty to forty people.

Their formation was loose but not chaotic, and they were advancing rapidly along the route they had taken.

The figure at the very front was moving much faster than the soldiers around him.

He wasn't carrying a gun, yet his movements exuded a sense of composure.

Hamk!

Zhang Zhao's gaze sharpened slightly.

He arrived faster than expected.

The commotion caused by the two grenades drew him directly from the west side of the city.

But the fact that the other side was able to catch up so quickly is clearly not just good luck.

Without looking back, he clenched his fists, and his body was once again enveloped in black mist, disappearing from the top of the cliff.

It landed right next to the Claw, almost walking alongside her, moving at a speed that made it seem as if it had never left.

"They've caught up." He lowered his voice and spoke very quickly. "About five or six kilometers away, Hamk is leading a large group of them."

Hag Claw didn't stop, glancing at him sideways. "Can we get up here?"

"At their speed, we'll be caught in a dozen minutes at most," Zhang Zhao said, glancing towards the valley entrance ahead.

Gu's speech quickened instantly, "Luna, how far are we from the target?"

"About eight hundred meters," Luna said, her voice slightly breathless.

"Although the terrain over there isn't as advantageous as this observation station, it's still easy to defend and difficult to attack! As for this observation station—"

She paused for a moment, as if estimating the time.

"No one but Zhang Zhao can get up there. Even if he goes up, ties the rope, and lowers us down, there might not be enough time."

"Then let's continue and proceed to our original destination." Gu made the decision without the slightest hesitation.

The group did not stop and the five continued to move forward.

After walking for a few more minutes, the exit of the valley finally came into view.

The view suddenly opened up, with dry gravel stretching out on both sides and extending into the dirt road in the distance.

At the end of the dirt road, several huge rocks lay across the road, like a natural barrier.

"Let's go!" Gu lowered his voice and took the lead in stepping out of the valley.

Five figures filed out, and the terrain in front of them was extremely open.

They slowed down when they reached the rock formations.

Gu scanned the surroundings, and only after confirming that there was nothing unusual did she turn her head and say, "We've arrived."

The five men quickly spread out, each leaning against a rock, forming a crossfire of gunfire.

Gu placed the tactical pack at his feet and took out a water bottle, tossing it to Lina.

Lina caught it with both hands, glanced at the pot, unscrewed the cap, and drank it directly.

Luna hung the composite bow on a protrusion on the side of the rock, sat down with her knees bent, and placed the M700 sniper rifle horizontally on her knees.

She glanced at the direction she had come from, then looked away without saying anything.

Hazha pulled out his game console again at some point, his thumb flying across the buttons.

Zhang Zhao kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the valley's exit.

The crowd remained silent for a long time.

Gu took the water bottle that Lina handed him back and took a sip. "About two more hours."

Zhang Zhao nodded and looked away.

He looked down at the M7 combat rifle in his hand, then at the M700 on Luna's knee.

From here to that old observation station, it's about 800 meters, well within the range of the M700.

Luna seemed to notice his gaze and looked up.

The two looked at each other for a moment.

She didn't ask, but simply reached out and handed the M700 along with the spare ammunition next to it to Zhang Zhao.

"For you."

Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment, but Luna didn't wait for him to speak.

"You've been thinking about that observatory, haven't you? It's over 800 meters away. At that distance, the M700 is more than enough."

Zhang Zhao took the gun; the barrel was ice-cold.

He glanced down at it; the M700 was in excellent condition, the barrel and receiver were gleaming, and the scope was clean and clear.

"And what about you?" He looked up.

Luna didn't answer, but turned to the side and pulled out another M7 assault rifle from behind her.

"This will do for me."

Her lips twitched slightly.

Fear of insufficient firepower – it's normal to carry a rifle, a sniper rifle, a bow, and a pistol, right?

Zhang Zhao glanced at the M700 in his hand and didn't refuse anymore.

He slung the M700 across his back and checked the ammunition count again.

Five fully loaded magazines, ten rounds each, plus the magazines on the gun, for a total of sixty rounds.

Gu Zheng was looking down at her tablet. She had clearly guessed Zhang Zhao's thoughts and spoke without looking up, "Go ahead, we'll take care of things here."

Zhang Zhao did not set off immediately, but shook his head.

"Going up now is too early! Hamk isn't stupid; he'll definitely get suspicious when he sees that high vantage point at the observation post."

Gu raised her eyes, and after a few seconds spoke, "You mean, we should wait until after the firefight to flank them?"

"Yes." Zhang Zhao slung the M700 back over his shoulder.

"Let's engage them head-on and make them think we're all here."

"Once they've focused all their attention on us, I'll go to the observation station and attack from both sides."

The moment the words left his mouth, the claw's finger, which was resting on the game console, suddenly stopped.

"It's coming!"
