The Death List Novel - Chapter 144
Chapter 144 Intense Battle (2)
Katrin ran to Qin Lun and insisted on deciding the outcome with him …
Was this a conquest? Obviously not. Although the two of them had only met once, Qin Lun was keenly aware that Katrin was much more mature than Little Red Riding Hood Liv. She would never give up her duties on impulse and leave the defensive position to engage him in a close combat adventure.
Unless Catherine had already received a response from others, knowing that all members of the Gentlemen’s Alliance were being blocked, and that the passageway she was guarding should not have the most important key person, that is, the leaders of the three great allies.
Of course, other than this, Catherine’s martial skill might not be based on long-range attacks, but was more adept at close combat. Perhaps at this moment, she felt that defense was not the most important thing. Instead, the most important thing was to retain her as a super archer and completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the Trilateral Summit.
As for why Katrin knew that Gerthardt, who was possessed by Qin Lun, had been imprisoned, that should be the information that Xiaolian and Lily had revealed after their arrest. There were so many strange men in the Alliance Army that the two of them wouldn’t even have a chance to lie.
Xiaolian and Lily were apostles themselves. As long as they didn’t reveal Qin Lun and Grant’s true abilities, they wouldn’t have any psychological burden on the others who betrayed the Gentlemen’s Alliance. It was estimated that the Alliance Army now knew all about the Gentlemen’s Alliance’s manpower and superpowers.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun immediately retreated and ran backwards. If the enemy wanted to fight him in close combat, regardless of whether he could win or not, he couldn’t let her feel satisfied first. Since she had given up her defensive position, she could simply take her a little farther away.
Qin Lun immediately made a decision. He had failed to surrender at most, but if he won, he couldn’t give another man another chance to rescue Catherine.
Seeing Qin Lun turn around and run away without any hesitation, Catherine hesitated instead. She was not worried about her own safety, but rather, she was worried that if she failed, not only would Dr. Jones, who was fighting another German soldier behind her, be implicated, but she would also hand over the scientists she was protecting to the Gentlemen’s Union.
Although Catherine was beautiful and gorgeous, she was not a vase. As an associate professor of Green College, she only hesitated for a few seconds before making a decision and chasing after Qin Lun.
First of all, Catherine cultivated far more magical energy than her two students, Little Red Riding Hood Liv and Snow White Elaine. Kieran’s kar98k sniper rifle could severely injure Liv, but it could not penetrate the defensive energy of Dou Qi surrounding Katrin. She was naturally invincible in the contest with the Super Sagittarius.
Even though Qin Lun’s Intermediate Shooting Technique combined with the Death List’s combat model had created the Weakness Accuracy Star and Spiral Shooting Technique, the gunpowder firearm’s power was limited, and its effect on a superhuman like Katrin wasn’t very obvious.
Armor piercing projectiles at twice or even triple the speed of sound can almost pierce through thin steel plates, FN-500 maximum concentrated instantaneous shots, plus weakness pointer techniques, and even one inch of steel plates.
Is it powerful? Powerful! But this is only for ordinary people. A superhuman like Catherine had either a powerful bloodline or cultivated various Dou Qi spells in her body. These non-physical laws could explain the energy of the Laws, which would weaken the physical attacks of gunpowder firearms to the level of water guns used by children.
Velocity plus mass gives you kinetic energy, but this energy is a physical law in terms of law. Under certain conditions, the laws of physics were greatly restricted by the laws of magical battle qi.
For example, facing an indestructible bullet, a mage proficient in spacetime magic only needed a small space transfer array to make it disappear without a trace. Wind mages could deviate from the trajectory of the bullet with wind elements, and earth mages could condense earth elements into a shield that was harder than diamonds. A warrior with fighting spirit has a high sense of danger, and can’t even be hit …
Then, if it were more advanced firearms and ammunition, would Kieran’s Weakness Star and Spiral Shooting Technique be more powerful? Starting with the combat models of the Weakness Precision Star and the Spiral Shooting, these two small combat models were based on the laws of geophysics.
If he wanted Qin Lun to switch to other more advanced firearms, he had to comply with the computational basis of the two models. For example, the FN-500 could not use spiral shots and could only use weak points. The reason for that was because the FN-500’s instant shooting skill had no trajectory. It appeared directly in front of the target and could not have any obstacles in the middle.
In other words, when would Kieran upgrade his shooting skills to high-level or peak-level? Only then would he be able to comprehend higher-level shooting rules and improve on the Weakness Precision Star and Spiral Shooting in the combat model. Only then would he be able to kill a superhuman like Catherine in one shot.
“Bang, bang, bang!” Katrin and Qin Lun were chasing after each other, occasionally shooting and attacking each other, causing gravel to fly everywhere in the underground passageway.
The two of them did not use arc shooting again. One reason was that arc shooting was not accurate for moving targets. The other reason was that arc shooting was very burdensome for the body. Excessively stimulating adrenaline could easily strain the muscles, resulting in mental exhaustion and loss of concentration.
Both of their perceptions were very strong. Often, when one side was aiming, the other side had already dodged in advance. Now, this kind of shooting was only to slow down the speed of pursuing and escaping.
After running for a few minutes, Kieran realized that Katrin was faster than him and the distance between them was slowly closing. Fortunately, they were already a distance away from Grant and Jones, and had achieved his original tactical goal.
“It’s about time!” Qin Lun paused and suddenly turned around to smash the sniper rifle like a stick at Catherine, who was chasing after him.
“Haha, are you going all out?” A trace of mockery appeared at the corner of Catherine’s mouth, but a trace of solemnity flashed through her eyes.
Before joining the war, Katrin had heard that German soldiers liked to use their sniper rifles in melee combat. She guessed that Kieran was now using sniper rifles as sniper rifles.
Qin Lun’s Kar98k sniper rifle was no ordinary Mauser rifle. The entire rifle was made of fine iron, and its butt was incomparably heavy. If it weren’t for the superpower, it would have been very difficult for ordinary people to even use it. This thing could really be used as an engineer shovel if it was polished with the butt of the rifle.
However, a gun was a gun, not a shovel. If it was smashed down so forcefully, it would definitely damage the internal structure. The sniper rifle was the life of a shooter. Qin Lun’s movements were too strange, making Catherine smell a trace of danger.
Although there were doubts in her heart, Catherine’s movements were not slow. She nimbly tapped her toes and dodged the strike of the sniper rifle. She raised her left hand and shot Qin Lun in the temple with a “bang”.
Shooting at such a close range? Qin Lun’s scalp exploded and he subconsciously tilted his head. He felt his temples burn and a stream of heat slid down his cheek.
“Humph!” Qin Lun let out a muffled snort, ignoring his injuries, he swung his sniper rifle at the woman again.
Katrin smiled coquettishly and pressed her rifle. Her slender legs squatted slightly and she jumped over Qin Lun’s head. A gypsy-like front-cut skirt rose to obscure his view. Although this kind of dress is a skirt, but the front cut is very high, the movement does not seem to be restrained at all.
‘”Bang!” As Cataline tumbled, she aimed another spear at his skycap. Although Qin Lun dodged his head, his shoulder felt numb and his shoulder bone had been broken by the bullet.
This time, Qin Lun was finally sure what Katrin’s melee martial skill was. Close combat still looked like he could shoot, but without training, it was difficult to grasp his wrist and fingers. In addition, he had to dodge the opponent’s attack, so it was easy for his opponent to take advantage of his distraction.
Katrin’s movements just now were like flowing clouds and flowing water, and even had a bit of dancing beauty. Obviously, this was not the first time she had displayed this kind of shooting skill. This was a close combat spear technique that Qin Lun had never seen before.
Although the situation was bad, Qin Lun’s heart was filled with joy. Shooting spears could actually be played like this. Katrin’s close combat spear technique showed him the super skill of long-range shooting combined with close combat, as if it had opened a profound door that only a master archer could step into in front of him.
The two of them were dancing in the passageway. Qin Lun’s entire body was bathed in blood very quickly, and half of his injured face was covered in blood. All he could get in return was to use the butt of the Kar98k sniper rifle to smash into Katrin’s snow-white thigh twice, leaving behind two black bruises.
“Pu!” After Qin Lun smashed her thigh with the butt of her rifle for the third time, a trace of anger finally flashed through the eyes of the beautiful hunter.
The sniper hit the thigh not only in the same place, but also very close to the thigh root. Although her bones weren’t broken, her movements weren’t very flexible. Every time she landed on the ground, the root of her thigh felt a kind of tearing pain. Moreover, for women, this part of the body was always hit by someone, so they would always be very embarrassed mentally.
After being shot by seven or eight Webley revolvers, the blood flowing out of the bullet holes quickly dyed Kieran red. However, his pale gray pupils were still calm and without any ripples, as if he could not feel the intense pain on his body like a rock.
Watching the silent German soldier wielding a sniper rifle in front of her, Katrin’s admiration arose spontaneously.
“Humph!” Landing on the ground, she felt a burst of pain at the base of her thigh. Catherine raised her eyebrows and a cold light flashed in her eyes. Perhaps it was because of the pain, or perhaps it was because of her opponent’s tenacity and unyielding determination. In her heart, an inexplicable anger finally began to breed.
“Since you like to use a sniper rifle as an engineering shovel so much, then I’ll destroy this rifle. Let’s see what else you can use!”
Katrin’s face darkened. When Qin Lun swung the sniper rifle again, she did not dodge for the first time in the battle. She only slightly tilted her body to avoid the butt of the rifle. A white halo lit up in her right hand and enveloped the Webley revolver. She used the gun handle to ferociously smash towards the middle of the Kar98k sniper rifle.
“Clang!” A loud metallic sound rang out in the tunnel. Although both guns were made of metal, they were still made up of parts. How could they withstand the fierce collision of two superhumans? They immediately shattered into pieces and turned into broken parts on the ground.
Seeing the sniper rifle and the Webley revolver in Katrin’s right hand perish together, Qin Lun’s cold marble-like face fluctuated for the first time.
She finally couldn’t help it, now she only had one revolver left! A cold light flashed through Qin Lun’s pale grey pupils …
