The Death List Novel - Chapter 269

Chapter 269 Dark Battle

“It’s wrapping paper for military rations!” Long Feng picked up a small piece of “silver foil” in the crack of the rock. This kind of wrapping paper was actually a kind of plant starch that could be eaten. Of course, if there was enough food, most people wouldn’t eat the wrapping paper. After all, it wasn’t very hygienic.

“That apostle should have been here before. There’s nothing wrong with our search!” Long Feng said excitedly, “Eh, what are you looking for?”

“His excrement!” Qin Ba said without changing his expression, “The large canvas bag on his body has been shattered by me. Even if he hides some food, there won’t be too much. He should be able to control his food intake with restraint. Judging from the concentration of excrement, he can tell that he can last for a few more days …”

Hmph, what kind of expression is that! We can’t continue to waste time with him like this. As long as we know when he will start hunting again, we will be able to wait for him. You should also help look around. It should be under some stones … ”

Hearing his companion’s words, Long Feng frowned with a face full of constipation as he reluctantly used the scabbard to flip through the rocks in the ruins.

When Qin Ba saw his companion’s movements, a bright light flashed in his eyes and he couldn’t help but open his mouth. However, before he could speak, the one-eyed dragon’s expression suddenly changed.

“Be careful ~ ~”

Long Feng was using his sword sheath to tear apart a piece of rubble in the ruins. After opening it, he saw a dark mass beneath it. The swordsman looked at this pile of unknown objects and instinctively felt a little disgusted. He subconsciously turned his head.

Then, he heard his companion’s reminder.

Be careful? Be careful of what? Long Feng was a little stunned. Before he could regain his senses, a figure flashed in front of him. One-eyed Dragon Sniper standing beside him threw him down.

“Boom!” Just as the two of them were about to collapse, the air in the area where Long Feng had used his sword sheath to push them away suddenly swelled and shrank. A dazzling light flashed across the area, and a loud explosion sounded. The area where the two of them were in was instantly enveloped by a pungent smoke of gunpowder.

“Cough cough, what was that just now?” A few seconds later, Long Feng’s angry voice came from the same spot.

“It’s a sneak thunderbolt! That apostle must have touched some Atlantis weapons and ammunition after the massacre in the fortress warehouse!” Qin Ba slapped his knees and stood up.

‘”Long Feng, don’t be too careless. This apostle is very good at reading people’s minds. Normally, apostles who are not from military backgrounds will easily fall into this kind of sinister trap! Although this method is not up to standard, nor can it harm us, it is very effective in consuming our passive defensive measures!”

The two of them slowly walked out from the smoke. Although their bodies weren’t injured, judging from the messy clothes they wore, they had suffered a great loss in the “ambush” just now.

“Qin Ba, you’re right. This is not the way to continue. We need to split up!” Long Feng said with a gloomy expression, “I’ll chase after you in the direction you sensed before. Wait for my signal before coming back!”

“En!” One-eyed Dragon expressionlessly nodded.

Long Feng’s face was stiff as he tossed the front of his Han suit and tapped his toes before flying forward. However, when the swordsman passed by his companion’s side, he blinked his eyes slightly and secretly made a hand gesture to Qin Ba that the two of them had already agreed to.

An undetectable hesitation flashed through the sniper’s eyes. However, in just an instant, he regained his calm. With a flick of his finger, a nanocrystal bullet was stuffed into Long Feng’s palm.

Long Feng and Qin Ba were both elementary apostles of the Kingdom of the Sword. Their apostles had cooperated with each other several times, so they could be considered familiar apostles in the same camp. Although their relationship wasn’t very close, it was already rare for them to find a familiar apostle with complementary professions in this region.

At the beginning of the battle, the two of them had already agreed on a way to contact each other. The Battle of Hegemons region was isolated from the apostles’ communication channels, and few people spent resources to purchase apostles’ communication equipment because they were basically fighting alone. Therefore, Long Feng and Qin Ba could only use special methods to set up a simple contact plan.

This method was based on Qin Ba’s ability to track down the nanocrystal worm. Long Feng carried a crystal bullet as bait, while the sniper used its ability to locate the nanocrystal worm and quickly support it to launch a fatal attack on the enemy in the dark.

Although the method was simple, it was still a good method for the Hegemon Apostles who lacked communication equipment.

Of course, this method also had many hidden dangers, one of which was that it was impossible to communicate in both directions. Qin Ba was able to track Long Feng, but Long Feng was unable to find Qin Ba. Moreover, the swordsman was responsible for using him as bait to meet the enemy. If the sniper had other thoughts, Long Feng would be in danger.

Seeing his companion’s back slowly disappear at the end of the ruins, the sniper’s one-eyed man revealed a cold light and disappeared behind a broken wall in a flash.

…

Half an hour later, Qin Lun appeared two kilometers southeast of the ruins.

“We’re here, let’s just stay here!” Qin Lun turned his head and looked around. Three glowing needles in his pupils twitched slightly.

He stopped in a spacious parking lot. Atlantis was about the same size as humans on Earth, except that they were taller on average. There were no more intact cars in the parking lot. The wheels and electronic equipment panels on them had long been damaged or dismantled, leaving only a dozen piles of steel lumps.

Qin Lun scanned the surroundings before unfolding his body and throwing a few black thunderbolts into the lumps of steel. This time, he did not intentionally set up a trap. Instead, he casually threw it away. He even defused some of the booby traps.

After doing all of this, Qin Lun dodged behind a pile of scrap metal lumps, closed his eyes and quietly waited for his opponent to arrive.

He didn’t know what his opponent had done to the bullet that hit him, but he believed that it would be difficult for him to really escape the sniper’s pursuit. Therefore, the battle between them was unavoidable. The only thing he could do was to create a relatively fair dueling arena for both sides.

Qin Lun had spent quite a bit of time with Hansen and had some understanding of apostles of their military background. Although they were originally from the disciplined services, they preferred to fight alone after becoming apostles.

The reason for that was because the other apostles had difficulty keeping up with them and often asked them to help wipe their butts. And compared to ordinary apostles, these apostles were more victorious and willing to accept dangerous duel challenges.

The trap Qin Lun had set for Long Feng and Qin Ba was actually a signal from the scouts that Hansen had taught him! Of course, the target of the one-on-one duel was not Long Feng, but Qin Ba, who was a sniper.

In Long Feng’s opinion, Qin Lun was skilled in dagger and magic battles. If he were to fight against a one-eyed dragon, Qin Ba, who was a sniper, would definitely suffer a huge loss.

However, Qin Ba definitely did not think so. Snipers often had to go deep into the enemy’s rear and kill targets in the army. How could such a person be afraid of fighting one-on-one?

As long as Qin Ba still had bullets and sniper rifles in his hands, he was not afraid of anyone. This was the confidence of a top sniper.

Hence, the one-eyed sniper immediately accepted the challenge after a brief moment of thought. Luring Long Feng to another direction, he went to the parking lot alone and carried Qin Lun to the parking lot.

…

“Is he here? Even the detection halo with the Heavenly Spirit Eye can’t find him!” As time passed, more and more cold sweat appeared on Qin Lun’s forehead. No one triggered any of the sneaky lightning he casually placed. Apart from the sound of the car scrap metal whistling in the breeze, there was no other sound in the surroundings.

The Heavenly Spirit Eye could form images on the retina. Originally, once Qin Lun activated the Eye of the Clock with all his might, coupled with the line of space and time formed by his perception and the detection halo, he could see through the entire field. Even the insects on the ground could be seen in a single glance.

However, every once in a while, Qin Lun could not find the enemy’s location.

The only suspicious thing was that there were a few blurry shadows amidst the thick scrap metal lumps in the parking lot. The detection halo could not sense the biological aura of these black shadows, and the Heavenly Spirit Eye showed that they were only car ruins.

“Which one is it? Or is it all bait! If he hasn’t arrived yet, those black shadows are just my own suspicions!”

“Gulu!” Qin Lun gently swallowed a mouthful of saliva and scratched the ruins of the car, wanting to poke his head out to take a look. However, his body quickly stiffened and he sat down again, his body oozing with cold sweat.

“He must have already come, otherwise I wouldn’t have felt such a depressing atmosphere!” Qin Lun gently lifted his body. Because he had been sitting for too long, there was a ball of water stains on the ground that was shaped like an egg on his butt.

“The longer it takes, the more certain he will be of my location … Should we change to another hiding place! No, no, in Gerhardt’s remaining memories, many of his opponents were killed by him because of the change of hiding place!”

Qin Lun’s face was a little pale. He suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to raise such a duel challenge. After all, he was not the German Captain Gerthardt.

‘”Use the remaining Earth element defensive scroll to forcefully shoot him and then engage in close combat” Qin Lun’s thoughts swiftly turned and he quickly rejected the idea. “No, I have a premonition that if I choose to do this, I will definitely die!”

“Using a shadow cloak? A seventh grade shadow cloak, even the Eye of the Clock’s perception line can’t be seen through. He shouldn’t be able to see through it either.” Qin Lun reached into his arms and stroked the scroll patterns on the shadow cloak. “No, no, the shadow cloak can only last for more than ten seconds. If I can’t find his location during this period, I won’t be able to escape from behind!”

“It’s getting dark” Looking at the sky outside the parking lot, Qin Lun’s heart turned cold. “Am I going to die here?”
