The Death List Novel - Chapter 143
Chapter 143 Intense Battle (1)
A man and a woman stood in front of Qin Lun and Grant with natural expressions. They should have been prepared. These superpowers recruited by the Allied government came from all over the world. Most of them were experienced in battle and adventure, and they were superior to others in adapting to unforeseen circumstances.
At the beginning of the Gnyssenau shelling, most of the ordinary soldiers were at a loss, but they had already reacted by protecting the Allied Heads of Army and scientists from the research institute from the sudden attack of the German Gentlemen’s Union.
After capturing Little Lotus and Lily, the superhumans of these allied forces immediately obtained the code name of the Rangers. In response to the codename of the Rangers’ Gentlemen’s Alliance, the higher-ups of the Alliance referred to their own superhumans as the Justice Alliance.
However, strangely enough, other than those from the army, such as Captain America, the rest of the superpowers were not interested in the nickname “Justice Alliance”.
In the eyes of many of them, war has no justice to speak of. In comparison, however, Nazi Germany was the initiator of the war, causing more damage to civilians in European countries. If it was to end the war as soon as possible, then they were willing to join the Alliance Army and contribute their share.
The two men and women standing in front of the two murderers were not as immature as the Little Red Riding Hood they met last night. They were two more mature superpowers.
Among the men and women, the man was tall and handsome. He was more than six feet three, or about 1.9 meters. He wore a white shirt and a black leather trench coat, a cowboy hat on his head, and an exquisite calf whip tied around his waist.
The beauty her companions called Catherine was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She was tall and almost six feet tall. The outfit was black and white. There was only a black pocket chest on her upper body and a plain front-cut midi skirt on her lower body. She was dressed a little like a gorgeous gypsy girl.
However, the “gypsy girl” was now wearing two bullet belts around her waist and holding a Webley VI revolver in both hands. She looked valiant and valiant, and she really couldn’t match up to the charming gypsy girl.
‘”Hey, these two guys seem to be the same as Little Liv described last night …” Hmph, Dr. Jones, be careful. It looks like we’ve hit the jackpot … “Katrin looked at the two of them, her bright eyes flashing as she frowned slightly.
“Qin Lun, the female archer belongs to you!” Grant suddenly said.
The two of them suddenly met and saw each other clearly. However, only a few seconds later, when Qin Lun was still observing the two of them, Grant, the clown beside him, had already seen one of them, his eyes shining. He wasn’t paying attention to the beautiful and mature Catherine, but to the tall, handsome and charming cowboy.
After the clown finished speaking, before Qin Lun could respond, he let out a tiger roar and pounced towards the man. Qin Lun was slightly surprised. When Grant the Clown was in the Earth Federation, there were also men among the victims. However, they were all men with good skin and were more feminine.
Although the man in front of them was handsome and charming, he was a hero, not a sissy. His skin was incomparably rough. If it weren’t for his elegant temperament, he would be more like a laborer who was exposed to the sun and the wind.
Of course, Qin Lun did not know that Grant, who was from the North American region of the Federation, had recognized the identity of the man in front of him. Although the history of the Earth Federation was different from that of this space-time world, the trajectory of this man’s life had not changed much. He was still the world’s leading archaeologist and adventurer.
To Grant, the man in front of him was a legend he had witnessed since childhood. When he first saw this man, his desire to fight soared to its peak, and he even ignored Catherine, a top-notch masked prey.
Although he didn’t know why the clown had changed his usual hunting habits, Qin Lun’s reaction was quick. He pointed his toes and quickly retreated into the right side of the tunnel.
The area guarded by Katrin and Jones was a crossroads where attackers could be better intercepted from multiple directions. Seeing Qin Lun retreat into the right passage, Katrin’s eyes lit up and she quickly chased after him.
This was not because her desire to fight was so high that she left her post without permission. It was the information given to her by Little Red Riding Hood Liv that Grant was a powerful recoverable superpower, while the German soldier with the Kar98k sniper rifle on his back was a super archer.
The two of them were getting closer and closer. It was definitely not a good idea to cooperate with each other and let the Super Sagittarius leave the battlefield and hide in the shadows. Moreover, Catherine’s shooting skills were also very exquisite. She was very famous in their small circle and was also very interested in the famous German snipers on the battlefield.
“You’re wearing an Edelweiss and an Iron Cross on your chest. Looks like you’re from the German Mountain Hunters. Are you Matthews Hatzenberg, Sepp Allenberg, or Hershey Winsberg?” Katrin had just turned the corner when she noticed that Qin Lun had disappeared. She only saw the figure of a man passing by at another fork in the road.
Catherine spoke, but her movements weren’t slow. In the chase, her arm suddenly swung a half circle in front of her. Her wrist twisted and shook at the same time, and the Webley VI revolver in her right hand opened fire.
“Bang!” In the bright passageway, a fiery red bullet shot towards the front. However, the trajectory of the bullet was extremely strange. It drew an arc in the air and actually circled the corner, chasing after the man’s figure.
The pores on Qin Lun’s back stood upright, his scalp numb. His body had already moved before his consciousness, and he jumped forward and rolled in a diving posture. He could only feel a fiery stream of heat sweeping past the back of his head, and his nostrils seemed to smell the scent of burnt hair.
“Matthews Hatzenberg, Sepp Allenberg and Hershey Winsberg are all affiliated with the Third Mountain Division. They are only the top three snipers in the newspaper. The power of German snipers is beyond your imagination.”
Qin Lun sat up and handed the Kar98K sniper rifle over from his right hand to his left. He held it in his hand like a baseball bat. “My overall record is nearly double Matthews’, but I’m only ranked thirteenth in the Mountain Hunters and fifth in active duty!”
“It’s time to test the actual combat effect of that shooting skill!” After handing the sniper rifle over from his right hand to his left, Qin Lun’s eyes lit up like a morning star. As he muttered to himself, he threw the sniper rifle behind him with his left hand. At the same time, he extended his right hand to his back and received the sniper rifle again. Then, he struggled to twist his arm from the back to the front and made a nunchakus-like swapping motion.
“Bang!” A stream of fire shot out from the muzzle of the Kar98k sniper rifle, and a slender armor piercing bullet shot out from the smoke. The second half of the armor piercing projectile quickly disintegrated, leaving behind only a silver spiked warhead with spiral patterns.
The silver warhead spun rapidly and let out a sharp howl in the air. Several explosion-proof lamps in the passageway suddenly exploded. The bullet also circled the fork in front of Qin Lun and shot towards Catherine. This was another special shooting skill that Qin Lun had created, the Spiral Shooting Technique, using the combat model ability of the Death List, in addition to his Weakness Aiming Star.
The Kar98k sniper rifle was a long barrel rifle, and it was not easy to use Kieran’s spiral shooting technique with a long barrel rifle. For this reason, Qin Lun also made some changes to the rifling of the gun barrel, sacrificing a little of the initial speed of the bullet in exchange for a stronger spinning of the bullet. However, Qin Lun didn’t have enough arm strength to directly throw out the arc trajectory, so he could only use such a ridiculous action like a nunchaku.
This time, the hairy man was replaced by the beautiful Catherine. However, she was clearly better prepared than Qin Lun. She staggered backwards and danced with her guns.
“Bang, bang, bang!” There were continuous shooting sounds in the passageway. For a rifle bullet that had broken through twice the speed of sound, it was already too late to defend against the sound of gunshots.
Katrin’s indiscriminate shooting wasn’t after Qin Lun fired, but Mo Ming’s foreboding of danger. The two Webley VI revolvers instantly fired the remaining 11 rounds. The bullets didn’t form a bullet net in the air to intercept Qin Lun’s armor piercing bullets, but collided with each other. After 11 bullets were smashed, the tiny shrapnel covered almost the entire cross-section of the tunnel.
Kar98k fired a sword-like armor-piercing bullet that swept past a rain of shrapnel and touched a few tiny shrapnel pieces, inevitably affecting its trajectory. At the same time, Catherine, who had experienced the power of the spiral shooting, rushed towards the corner of the fork instead of retreating.
“Pu!” Even though the armor piercing bullet had slightly changed its trajectory, Catherine’s actions still cost her. A blood arrow shot out from her left shoulder. The armor piercing bullet did not stay in her body, but shot out from behind and penetrated deeply into the stone wall of the passage.
Catherine’s eyes lit up with a cold light. Her opponent’s shooting skill was even better than Little Red Riding Hood Liv had described. Originally, she could have retreated and dodged, so that she wouldn’t have to be injured, but she would definitely not be able to get close to Qin Lun, and she might be stuck here, or even let go of her opponent.
Katrin obviously didn’t want to see such a scene. The German striker was too terrifying. If he could not be defeated here, the leaders of the three great allies would still not be able to guarantee their safety. This summit meeting, which was premised on ending the war, would still be very risky.
Moreover, as an associate professor of Green College, she was the one who brought Little Red Riding Hood Liv here. She felt very responsible for the red-haired girl’s death. Perhaps grabbing Qin Lun would lessen her guilt.
“How could your shooting skill be the fifth in active duty? This should have something to do with the fact that you were in prison a while ago and wasted a lot of time, right?” Katrin smiled and flashed around the corner. Her gaze met Qin Lun’s cold and numb light grey eyes.
Qin Lun’s expression was calm, but his mind was churning.
After all, Kar98k was only a rifle and could not be compared to the firing speed of a revolver. The Gentlemen’s Alliance’s assault time was limited, and their opponents could have been stuck here waiting for backup. Why did she insist on running over and fighting him in close combat? Unless …
A wisp of spiritual light flashed through Qin Lun’s heart!
