You're an assassin, why do you focus on ranged?

On the desolate land, a chariot stopped on a broken road, and several figures gathered at the front of the chariot to discuss.

One of them said, "Didn't you refuel before leaving?"

Someone next to him responded with an embarrassed expression, "This is the responsibility of the maintenance team. We were in a hurry when we left and didn't have time to check."

A girl looked at the surrounding terrain and suggested, "Let's walk over. It will take at most seven or eight hours to get there."

The last person made the decision, "That's it."

The four people were Qin Chuan and Bruno.

After making sure that the monsters were not chasing him, Hans drove the chariot forward quickly. As a result, not long after he went out, the chariot shook for a while and then stopped moving completely.

After a check, everyone found out the problem.

No oil.

So there was the previous conversation.

Qin Chuan glanced at Bruno angrily, "Old Bruno, you are not rigorous at all. How can you be the branch chief?"

Bruno could only laugh dryly, but he was muttering in his heart.

From being the minister at first to calling him by his first name later, and now even calling him Old Bruno, Bruno always felt that his status in the eyes of the shadow was constantly decreasing.

If this continues, he might become Little Bruno.

Hans and Elna didn't have any ideas. They were discussing whether it was risky to walk to the headquarters.

But in the current situation, they had to go even if they didn't want to.

Judging from the distance, they were stranded halfway. Even if they returned by the original route, the distance back to the branch was almost the same as the distance to the headquarters.

After a brief discussion, the four began to walk forward.

For Qin Chuan, walking for seven or eight days is not a problem, let alone seven or eight hours. He has high attributes and can handle it.

But the time spent will not be recovered.

Qin Chuan even suspected that it was Bruno's doing.

It's just that when the chariot stalled just now, Bruno's expression was also very surprised, and he obviously didn't expect this.

In this way, it seems that the lack of refueling is probably not Bruno's arrangement.

This is interesting.

Looking at Hans and Elna who were walking in front, Qin Chuan slowed down his pace and came to Bruno's side, lowering his voice and saying: "Old Bruno, you have a lot of enemies, and they actually want to throw you on the road to feed the beasts. How can you be the head of the branch? You are so unpopular."

Bruno was also a little puzzled.

He was usually conscientious in his duties. Although he would get rid of some unstable elements, he would not take action against those ordinary people living in the branch, but would try his best to protect them.

As a result, such a thing happened now, making Bruno feel that his kindness was wasted.

Hans seemed to hear the noise, and turned back to defend his branch chief: "Mr. Shadow misunderstood our branch chief. Go to the branch and ask anyone. If anyone thinks the branch chief is not good, I will write my name Hans upside down! This time it was probably an accident. It is estimated that the maintenance team made a mistake in a hurry."

Elna also said: "Yes, the branch chief is a well-known good man. It was also he who proposed to let ordinary people live in the branch to avoid the invasion of monsters."

Qin Chuan thought about it and said seriously: "Old Bu, it seems that I misunderstood you."

Bruno waved his hand modestly: "This is what I should do. As a branch chief, if I can't protect ordinary people, how can I sit in that position."

These words were said with righteousness, which inspired Hans and Elna, and they admired Bruno even more.

To be honest, if Qin Chuan hadn't seen Bruno kill the data clerk with his own eyes and realized that Bruno had colluded with the black death infected, he would probably think Bruno was a good person.

But now, Qin Chuan just wants to know when Bruno's true face will be exposed.

In addition, Qin Chuan is also thinking about a question along the way.

What is Bruno's real purpose.

Especially the move of colluding with the Black Death infected, Qin Chuan is a little confused.

If you just want to maintain your authority in the branch, there is no need to do this. There are means and opportunities to eliminate dissidents.

"Is it because of the Black Death?"

Qin Chuan thought secretly.

Could it be that Bruno wants to unlock the secret of the strange beast from the Black Death infected?

In fact, strictly speaking, Qin Chuan is also very curious about the strange beast.

This monster evolved from the Black Death has many characteristics that are different from known life forms.

In addition to the breath that makes Qin Chuan feel extremely repulsive.

Qin Chuan has reason to believe that the power represented by the Black Death and the power of shadow are hostile, or even mortal enemies.

It's just that there is too little intelligence information at present to draw an accurate conclusion. Qin Chuan will not jump to conclusions and is ready to continue to observe.

……

Traveling is boring, but fortunately they areSeveral people acted together. They were bored and could chat. Time passed quickly. They didn't feel that they had walked far before the sky began to darken.

Although the entire Evernight Continent seemed to be poorly lit, the difference could still be clearly felt.

It was probably from being able to see five fingers when stretching out one's hand to being unable to see one's five fingers when stretching out one's hand.

Qin Chuan and others had to set up torches.

This was undoubtedly very risky.

If there were strange beasts in the dark, they would inevitably be attracted by the firelight and might fall into a war of attrition.

It would be difficult to protect everyone if only Elna, who was in the open, encountered a large number of strange beasts.

Bruno was also a little anxious.

He had not been able to get in touch with the Black Death infected person until now.

If some strange beasts came, then Elna would really be the only one to rely on.

As for Shadow, he could definitely not be counted on.

This guy was obviously determined to hide his strength. It would be better to count on the passing fighters than to count on him to help.

As the saying goes, what you fear will come true.

Elna, who was at the front of the team, stopped and said in a low voice: "There is a strange beast."

As she spoke, a flash of light appeared and the spear was already in her hand.

Hans also drew his sword and stood guard.

Qin Chuan held up the knife and posed while looking at Bruno and said, "Old Bruno, think of a way."

Bruno almost spat out blood and said unhappily, "Mr. Shadow, as a traveler, don't you have any way to deal with the beasts? You should also think of a way."

"My method is not something that ordinary people can learn."

Qin Chuan answered seriously, "Usually, before encountering a beast, I would take a detour in advance, so that the beast would not rush to my face."

Hans said, "There will always be mistakes, so how to deal with it."

Qin Chuan's expression was extremely confident, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! I have been traveling in the wilderness for hundreds of years and have never made a mistake!"

"Hundreds of years?"

Elna turned around and laughed, "Mr. Shadow, you are really good at bragging. How can humans live for hundreds of years? And I think you look like you are in your early thirties at most, you must be talking nonsense."

Qin Chuan smiled but said nothing.

But Bruno on the side was concerned.

If this shadow is really the shadow mentioned by Lady of the Night Alessa, then it is possible that he can live for hundreds of years.

No, more than hundreds of years, at least ten thousand years!
