Chapter 97
Antonio alighted from his vehicle and stood beside Han Xiao as he watched the explosion . He lit a cigar and took a puff before he chuckled heartily . "It has been a while since I last saw such beautiful scenery . I almost forgot what an explosion looks like after sitting in the office for so long . "
"Go ahead and enjoy the scenery . "
Han Xiao stretched his neck to relieve some of the fatigue as a result of the pursuit .
The flames eventually diminished . Antonio and Han Xiao cautiously approached the scene of explosion . A pungent stench, created by the mixture of smells from burning bodies and toxic gas, blew toward them .
Crap . I forgot that there is some toxic gas remaining!
Han Xiao was dumbfounded as he watched his HP drop on the Interface . He had no choice but to retreat the place, and he could only go back to sweep the battlefield after the toxic gas dispersed .
"Ugh…" A faint moan was heard on the battlefield . It came from Code 3, who was already half-dead . His four limbs had been shattered in the explosion, and his body was covered in red and dark burn marks . He raised his head laboriously and leveled Han Xiao a deadly gaze .
"You… Why… . "
Han Xiao gave him a glance and used his Berserk Eagle to silence him before he could even finish his sentence .
Good guys could win battles with their words, and bad guys would always lose and die because they talked too much . There were countless similar lessons in the past . Han Xiao had wanted to try and talk to Code 3, but he believed that he did not belong to the good-guy category, so he had killed Code 3 without saying a word .
This kill has given me quite a lot of EXP . Code 3… what kind of lousy name is that?
Han Xiao looked at his interface while insulting the enemy's name .
Hold on . There seems to be an enemy missing from my kill history .
Han Xiao's eyes flashed and immediately surveyed his surroundings . He suddenly fired at the ground twenty meters away .
Fwoosh .
A shadow jumped out from beneath the sand—Ghostly Fox . She dashed rapidly and stabbed her dagger swiftly toward the nearest person, Antonio .
Her Pugilist training had taught her simple ground tunneling techniques . She had escaped the devastating explosion by tunneling into the sand the instant before the explosion . She had intended to continue hiding until all the enemies were gone, but since she had been spotted by Han Xiao, she had to fight for her life .
Sunlight was reflected off the surface of the dagger, emitting an icy glare . Antonio's eyes narrowed, and he slammed his massive arms rapidly toward Ghostly Fox . His palms were almost as large as those of bears .
Ghostly Fox ducked as her petite build allowed her to do so easily . She circled to the back of Antonio and stabbed her dagger toward his heart . Suddenly, a dark shadow zoomed in before her eyes, and a bear-like palm followed and grabbed her head . The palm was so large that it almost wrapped around her entire skull .
Antonio threw her more than ten meters away as if he was shot-putting . The sheer amount of force created wave-like tracks around her on the ground . She was badly injured from the throw . However, she gritted her teeth hard and dived toward Antonio again . With Han Xiao watching on the side, she would be sniped down if she attempted to run away . She had no choice but to continue the fight .
Poomb . Poomb . Poomb .
Antonio was about to strike back when Han Xiao fired a few rounds with his double pistols, which turned her into a sieve .
[You killed Ghostly Fox (LV29) . You have gained 9,400 EXP . ]
Eh . Her level was quite high . Why was she so weak? Han Xiao looked at the battle info and realized the reason: Ghostly Fox's main job was only Lv . 8, and the rest of her levels were in her secondary jobs, which were mostly useless .
"You should have given me the opportunity to exercise my rusty body," Antonio groused .
"The body is still warm . You can use it for some exercise . " Han Xiao nonchalantly picked his nose .
"You really are a jerk . "
Once the toxic gas dispersed, Han Xiao stepped into the explosion site to retrieve his EMP Disruptor .
Han Xiao had been unaware that Code 3 knew his whereabouts, but he was used to making multiple plans at once . He had planted not just one but four traps that night, each on a different position of the road that he was circling . Unless the enemy did not pursue him, they would have fallen into at least one of the traps .
As long as you dare chase me, I will eventually kill you .
After collecting his EMP Disruptor, Han Xiao started scavenging loot from the bodies . He found a substantial number of firearms and ammunition, which could be sold for a handsome amount of money . However, his greatest loot was the modified battle vehicle—Thorns . He would be able to use it after he fixed its internal electronic components .
