Chapter 210: No Interest
Translator: BeetleBarker Editor: Tennesh
Yan Biao could not clearly see the situation ahead of him, but since Bie Liao had seen it through his sniper scope and confirmed that the two terrorists had already been killed, Yan Biao could rest easy and receive treatment . However, if what Fang Zhao had said was true, examining the wounds on the bodies would verify his words . The gun used by Fang Zhao was different from the ones used by the outpost team . The gunshot wounds would be different, so it would be easy to distinguish .
Yan Biao was a little puzzled when he saw Fang Zhao keeping his gun away . "Aren't you going to continue? There are a few more beasts over there . "
"The others can handle it . Besides, I'm out of ammo," Fang Zhao replied . The situation was already under control . There weren't many threats remaining, and he had no need to snatch military glory away from the outpost team .
Yan Biao did not question how Fang Zhao had managed to smuggle the gun into planet Baiji . Instead he asked, "These types of old gun models have very little ammo . How many bullets are there? You ran out of ammo so quickly . "
"There were only 20 bullets when I brought it over . " Fang Zhao did not hide this bit . Yan Biao and the others did not think highly of these sorts of decades-old guns . If a gun from the Old Era were placed in front of them, they would surely treat at as an antique .
Bie Liao had just arrived and had a shocked look on his face . "You dared to head to the battlefield with only 20 bullets? Was it enough?"
Yan Biao too was used to high-capacity magazines and also found it utterly unimaginable . "What can you do with so little ammo?" But when he remembered how Fang Zhao had shot the terrorists and the reports of how Fang Zhao had killed those beasts with one shot, he swallowed his words .
"That's why I brought a steel rod . " Fang Zhao brandished his already-deformed steel rod, which was now full of brown bloodstains . Not every beast had been shot dead; some had been bludgeoned to death .
Yan Biao silently watch Fang Zhao for a few seconds, then handed his own gun over to Fang Zhao . "You use it first . I no longer have the strength to use it . "
Fang Zhao did not accept it . He looked up at the sky in a certain direction . "Should be reinforcements from the base arriving . "
Yan Biao felt delighted inside and looked over . . . but he did not see anything .
But when he remembered Fang Zhao's "Diting ears," he largely believed it . He still pushed the gun toward Fang Zhao . "Even if personnel from the base have arrived, you hold onto it just in case . "
Indeed, after a short while, a black speck appeared in the distance . Yan Biao switched the modes on his comms device and received a new signal accessing the outpost's communications network . It was the personnel dispatched from the base .
After reporting the situation over here, Yan Biao checked his comms device again . There were two missed comms from Kevin Lin .
Yan Biao had set up a few communication channels in the network . Channel 1 was for personnel with a squadron leader position or above, including the command post . Channel 2 was for team leaders and above . Channel 3 was solely for communications with the command post and to understand the current situation . Channel 4 was for personnel not part of the outpost team, like Kevin Lin and the rest .
Previously, he had been in the outpost internal comms channel and been set to combat command mode, so those in other channels could not interfere .
Yan Biao switched over and immediately heard Kevin Lin's anxious voice asking . "Fang Zhao went up! Have you seen him?"
"He's here beside me . He's all right . Base personnel have also arrived, but we still need time to make sure the danger has passed . You people stay where you are first and don't come out . When it's safe, I will send men to fetch you . "
Yan Biao's words were undoubtedly good news to those in the underground shelter . They signified that the situation was roughly under control .
Yan Biao did not say much else . Two soldiers came over and prepared to carry him off for medical treatment . He no longer needed to maintain his position . As he relaxed, he felt his vision blurring as he faded in and out of consciousness .
Of the two terrorists, one of them was indeed armed with explosives . Furthermore, the explosives were embedded within his body and were difficult to remove . After the personnel dispatched by the base determined the identity of the two terrorists, they moved the bomb-laden corpse far away for detonation .
The explosion in the distance shook the earth, vindicating Yan Biao's judgement . If those terrorists had infiltrated the outpost's interior, the consequences would have been even more dire . .
Now that there were reinforcements, Bie Liao held his gun and sat at the side . He was really tired, yet he could not control his curiosity . He asked Fang Zhao . "Were those two terrorists really shot by you?"
Bie Liao had seen the gunshot wounds on the two terrorist's bodies . Both had been killed with a single shot, and the wounds had not been made by the gun model issued by the base . On the contrary, the gunshot wounds seemed similar to those found on the bodies of the beasts Fang Zhao had shot dead . Because of this, Bie Liao found it unimaginable .
If it was an old experienced soldier around 70 or 80, Bie Liao would only have had admiration for him, but Fang Zhao? How old was Fang Zhao?
Those two terrorists were experienced hands with sharp perceptions . Bie Liao had kept an eye on them for so long, yet he had been unable to succeed . Every time he had caught sight of their shadow, the other side seemed to have sensed it and had evaded so Bie Liao could not get a lock on them .
Not just himself, Bie Liao reckoned that if it had been any of the few ace marksmen from the base, they would not have been able to do it either .
Timing, speed, decision-making, mental state, external factors, and other factors affected the final outcome . Bie Liao was not finding excuses—it was indeed very difficult .
However, today, the scene that had unfolded in front of Bie Liao's eyes was like a lesson for him .
Even if Bie Liao was unwilling to admit it, he had to accept this fact . In less than a minute, Fang Zhao had used a gun that was no longer in production and two bullets to shoot dead the targets that Bie Liao had been unable to hit for 20 minutes .
This skill was really extraordinary!
Furthermore, from what Riode and the others had said, given Fang Zhao's skill, marksmanship, and temperament, if he joined the military, anywhere he went, he would be the absolute trump card!
