The Death List Novel - Chapter 341
Chapter 341 The One That Escaped
Seeing that Jie Nuo and Sheba were still faithful to their duties, Qin Lun felt a little relieved.
Careless! The young man’s face was flushed red. Although he was in danger, what he felt at the first moment was not fear, but excitement. It was only this time that he had truly stepped into someone else’s trap, not because of a small mistake in his plan.
“From late last night, I had Melody bring Sheba to the outer perimeter of the ruined city, but Melody didn’t find them …”
“In other words, they must have buried themselves alive in the ground, and the depth is not shallow, so that their heartbeats can be weakened to the point that they can’t even hear the melody!”
“Even if there is a breathable hole, this is still a suicidal act!” Qin Lun sighed slightly. He had once been imprisoned in a “living coffin” cell where he could not stand upright or sit down. That kind of claustrophobia and darkness could torture normal people into madness within a few hours.
The brigade’s current behavior of burying themselves alive was even more terrifying than that. They could barely move a finger, and they had to maintain the spiritual force on their bodies at all times. Otherwise, just a few hundred kilograms of dirt above their bodies could crush them to death.
“These people are not only cruel to others, they are also cruel to themselves!” Qin Lun sighed. He didn’t dare to say if he could reach the current level of the brigade. After all, it wasn’t a few minutes or hours, but an entire half day and night.
Moreover, judging from their appearance, the Phantom Brigade didn’t seem to have received any news from the hunters and would continue to bury them for another day without eating or drinking.
Azure veins rose up around Qin Lun’s eyes, and a pair of demonic eyes shone brightly, as if they were “tree eyes” that were tangled in thin vines.
With his ability, he was unable to use [Eye of the Clock] and [Gannett’s Left Eye] freely. Over time, it would damage his eyes. Fortunately, he was a Body of Laws and wouldn’t cause permanent damage to his vision.
In Qin Lun’s vision, the dilapidated buildings in the ruined city turned into a combination of various frames and lines, like an engineering design outlined by a hard-core pencil. In this three-dimensional image composed of lines, some of the buildings emitted strange faint light, and in the distance, a few dazzling small figures were moving rapidly.
The building that glowed in the eyes of the clock should be Kubie’s manifestation, and those dazzling figures were clearly Coolapika, the brigade members, and the two enemies who had beaten him up. Under the excited battle conditions, these powerful minds revealed a strong light that was no less powerful than a beacon light.
“Pikonoda and Didi have already turned around. It seems that they did not retreat before, but rather seduced the enemy. Now, they have sealed our path.”
“The members of the brigade who appeared near the church looked like one of them was a beautiful girl, March, and the other two were probably Kubi and Peeling Lev who Sisso had confessed to.”
“So the members of the brigade that cut us off at the back should be Cullo, Finks, and Franklin?”
“What a seamless encirclement!” Qin Lun revealed a bitter smile.
Sometimes, the person who understood him best was the enemy. This sentence was absolutely correct. Qin Lun immediately understood his intentions after seeing Cullo’s arrangements for his companions.
Apart from Cullo, Feitan and Chief Xin’s combat abilities, Qin Lun was also familiar with them. The reason why the brigade leader chose to let Illfan pretend to be him and let the two of them follow Caesar to the amusement park was clearly due to careful consideration.
Fei Tan and Xin Chang were both close combat martial artists with high skills. Fei Tan’s agility and Xin Chang’s saber technique allowed them to avoid Coolapika’s chains to the greatest extent possible, while lowering Qin Lun’s vigilance.
This arrangement also took into account Siso’s counter-attack. If this moody fellow really tricked them, Feitan and Chief Noble, with the help of Ear Addict and Kurt, would be able to deal with the hunters in the playground for a long time until Cullo and the others rushed over to support them.
Illusory’s main function was to disguise and manipulate the corpse, and this big brother Qi Yi’s formidable strength allowed him to disguise as the Guild Leader. Otherwise, he might not have been able to deceive Qin Lun.
As for the adorable teenager disguised as Kurt Beating the Enemy, although he did not make much of a move in the surveillance footage, Qin Lun had already guessed his role. This person was either a manipulator or a specialist. His mission should be to counter-reconnaissance and figure out the direction of Qin Lun and the others’ attack in advance. In case they needed reinforcements, it was the best guarantee for Cullo and the others to arrive at the amusement park in time.
Therefore, the amusement park seemed to be a weak link, and it was also not a formation that could be easily defeated by the hunters.
Of course, in the ruined city, eight regiment members wishing to surround and kill Hunter Fang was also an extremely difficult task. After all, there were now two more Hunter Fang experts, Jie Nuo and Shiba.
However, through careful arrangements, Kuluoluo was able to maximize the efficiency of his side’s combat strength. Qin Lun had no choice but to admit that the encirclement had almost reached perfection, and he couldn’t see any obvious flaws.
Although their combat strength was slightly lacking, the two regiment members, Xiao Di and Paikonoda, who paid attention to intelligence gathering, should be the most suitable candidates to lure the enemy and intercept them.
The other three members who were ambushing near the church, Maggie, who was fighting with needles and threads, could tell at a glance that they were trying to stop Coolapika.
Although Kubi and Peeling Lev didn’t have any information on their abilities, Kubi was the first to discover the Knight Doll. Qin Lun guessed that he was the powerful manifestation of his will. The last Peeling Lev was obviously a powerful melee warrior.
These five people combined, even if the Hunter had Jie Nuo and Shiba, it would still be enough for the three of them to rush over.
The three of them, who were responsible for cutting off the retreat of the hunter, were even more eye-catching in this encirclement. The number of people didn’t seem to be large, but Cullo and Finks were already powerful enough to force Qin Lun to lose Jie Nuo and Sheba’s cover.
Under normal circumstances, if Qin Lun treated Kulapika as an abandoned child, he could have escaped from the encirclement by passing the last brigade member. Of course, this had to be based on the fact that the last interceptor was not Franklin!
Franklin, with his two-handed machine gun, was probably the only one in the Phantom Brigade who had the ability to suppress his will for a long time. With him at the back, even if Qin Lun abandoned Coolapika, he wouldn’t be able to escape. Once they dragged on for a long time, the last five people would have already made dumplings for them.
Unfortunately, there would always be gaps in any layout that was planned by someone, because no one could truly know who they were and who they were. Ninety percent of the success of the plan was due to hard work, and another ten percent to the incompetence of the opponent. In other words, it was luck.
In Qin Lun’s opinion, Cullo lacked a bit of luck in setting up this match. Approximate perfection was not the same as true perfection. At least at this critical moment, Qin Lun saw the only way out of the encirclement.
This path of survival lay in the trump card that Qin Lun had spent so much effort to create, an existence that neither Xi Suo nor the regiment knew of–the Chivalrous Doll.
After dealing with the brigade several times, Qin Lun discovered that the members of the brigade from Meteor Street were very similar to him, but they were different.
The similarities were that the brigade and Qin Lun had no concept of good or evil. They only acted according to their preferences, ignoring their lives and showing no pity for the weak and innocent. The difference was that the Phantom Brigade had deep feelings and bonds between their companions, and they could even risk their lives for their companions.
Qin Lun didn’t even have the concept of companion. Even Frank, the hunchback servant, and Catherine, his first woman, had a very delicate position in his heart. It couldn’t be said that he didn’t have any feelings, but at least Kieran wouldn’t give up his life for Frank and Catherine.
If Qin Lun were to set up this trap, he would arrange for Kurt to beat up the enemies at the amusement park. He didn’t hesitate to increase the risk of his comrades over there and prepare another mobile combat strength for the trap in the ruined city, so as to be safe.
“I didn’t expect that the puppet doll that I made on purpose would actually become the biggest variable now!” The hand on the clock’s eye gently jumped. Qin Lun looked at the battle in the church with a strange expression.
“Since that’s the case, then let me add a fire to you. However, it seems that this distance is still a bit far!” Qin Lun revealed a smile and his figure flickered. Like a leaf being blown up by a gentle breeze, he snaked through the buildings in the ruined city like a snake. This was his Gale Step skill.
“The distance is almost there!” Qin Lun’s footsteps paused, and a few veins appeared in his originally ferocious eyes. Finally, his eyes couldn’t help but be brutalized by this kind of violence, and two lines of blood hung from the corners of his eyes.
The spacetime lines scattered around the young man’s body were condensed into perceptual beams, ignoring the hundreds of meters of distance and obstacles in front of him. They shot into the church like lightning and lightly touched the “chivalrous man”.
The “chivalrous man” who was fighting with the three of them suddenly trembled. His wooden eyes lit up, and his aura began to rise explosively.
Originally, it had only followed Rand’s final order to stop the fireworks from chasing after the enemy. Now, it had been completely suppressed by March, Kubie, and Peeling Lev. Soon, it would be captured. Now that control had been taken over by the owner, Qin Lun, the puppet doll’s formidable combat power had finally erupted.
“Be careful!” Lev’s pupils contracted as he used the shield as a shield. He pointed his toes and quickly retreated. Maggie raised her hands and shot a needle and thread with a strong will into the roof beam of the church. One of the needles circled around Kubie’s body and dragged the two of them up into the air.
Actually, it’s a tragedy. These three regiment members were all very powerful and had their own characteristics. However, facing the current “chivalrous men”, they were restrained by both large and small forces.
Kubi was perhaps the rarest talent in the brigade, and his ability to replicate largely covered up the activities of the Illusory Brigade around the world. Kubi was the first to discover the aura of the “chivalrous man”. This expert who was skilled in replication had long since seen that the puppet doll in front of him still seemed to possess “soul characteristics”. When fighting, he was cowardly and did not dare to harm the “chivalrous man” ‘s body.
This was also the biggest reason why the three of them didn’t dare to use violent moves. They felt that the “chivalrous man” was still alive and was only under someone’s control. If he exerted too much force and his body was damaged, then he would regret it.
The same was true for March. Her psychic needles and threads were as sharp as blades, and if she moved randomly, she would be directly shredded into pieces. But facing the ignorant “chivalrous man”, Maggie couldn’t tie it with needles and threads. If this was cut into pieces, even Qin Lun wouldn’t be able to fight it back.
As for Peeling Lev, he was the most tragic person. This fellow was a descendant of the Jutundu race. His bandaged body had been inserted with various “thin sticks” since birth, and when he grew up, he formed many wind holes of different sizes. During a battle, the wind acupoints would emit the “sound of battle dance” along with the beating of the body, and it was praised as the most beautiful clan in battle.
However, the “chivalrous man” was now a puppet doll, and his mind was not affected by the “sound of battle dance”. In addition, Peeling Lev didn’t dare to use any powerful moves. As a result, his combat strength wasn’t inferior to that of Feitan and Finks, and he could only tragically act as a shield for the other two companions.
At this moment, under Qin Lun’s stimulation, the “Puppet Doll” finally erupted with a unique skill that belonged to a chivalrous person!
