Chapter 29

【Shooting: Critical hit, dealing 100 damage to the opponent (50 Firearm (Light Weapon) (Basic) x2), opponent dies...】

【Shooting: Critical hit, dealing 100 damage to the opponent (50 Firearm (Light Weapon) (Basic) x2), opponent dies...】

【Killing rebel general Jennings, altering the main mission progress, greatly improving the mission evaluation, the main mission will end 3 days early!】

【Killing rebel major Saluka, altering the main mission progress, improving the mission evaluation, the main mission will end 1 day early!】

...

Four messages appeared on Qin Ran's retina.

When he read the last two, Qin Ran was taken aback.

He subconsciously opened the mission bar and saw that the original main mission [Survive 7 Days: 2/7] had now changed to [Survive 3 Days: 2/3]!

Clearly, this exceeded Qin Ran's expectations.

Moreover, it disrupted his original plan—after killing Saluka and Jennings, he intended to take advantage of the chaos among the rebels to find and kill rebel soldiers with higher skills, thereby upgrading his existing skills. This was what Qin Ran wanted.

Qin Ran believed that there were definitely many rebel soldiers with skills higher than his.

However, everything was now completely disrupted.

"No! There's still a chance! There's still some time before today ends!"

Qin Ran instinctively raised the [Viper-M1] to find a target.

But at that moment, he heard a slight sound from below.

Someone!

Qin Ran instantly realized.

After taking out the sniper Jennings had set up, the cautious Qin Ran had divided his attention.

He didn't want to die as inexplicably as the sniper he had killed.

Immediately, Qin Ran turned the barrel of the [Viper-M1] in his hand.

When a black shadow appeared below, Qin Ran didn't even need the scope to shoot.

Bang!

The beginner-level [Firearm. Light Weapon] gave Qin Ran an extremely high accuracy rate.

With less than ten meters between them and Qin Ran having discovered and shot first, the outcome for the other party was already determined.

【Shooting: Critical hit, dealing 150 damage to the opponent (75 Firearm (Light Weapon) (Basic) x2), opponent dies...】

...

【Killing an enemy with Stealth (Beginner) level...】

【Skill Stealth (Basic → Beginner)】

...

【Skill Stealth improved, related attribute improved...】

【Agility F → F+】

...

A warm current appeared in his body again, and the infusion of knowledge and coordination of his body occurred simultaneously.

"Luck!"

Qin Ran thought to himself.

Feeling the changes brought by the beginner-level [Stealth] and the knowledge that surfaced in his mind, Qin Ran knew that even if he had divided his attention earlier, he would still have been at a disadvantage when the other party appeared.

And such a disadvantage would ultimately turn into a fatal disadvantage!

After becoming familiar with the convenience brought by [Stealth], Qin Ran already knew how terrifying it was to lose the initiative.

Looking at the headless corpse falling, Qin Ran felt a wave of fear.

The other party was undoubtedly one of Saluka's men!

If it weren't for Saluka's sudden death, the other party would not have been surprised and made a sound that shouldn't have been made, thus being discovered by him!

However, before Qin Ran could relax, a shout rang out—

"There's a sniper above!"

Undoubtedly, the fallen corpse had caught the attention of the surrounding rebel soldiers.

This was followed by a cacophony of footsteps.

Qin Ran's heart tightened.

He immediately slung both his [Viper-M1] and the unattributed [Viper-M1] from the previous sniper over his shoulder, pulled out a [U-Ⅱ] grenade, and threw it down.

Boom!

After the grenade exploded, Qin Ran didn't hesitate to take the [M1905] and rush down.

He didn't dare to stay here any longer.

Although this was a vantage point that overlooked the entire Times Square, it also had no way out!

If he were blocked, it would truly be a dead end!

Boom!

Just as Qin Ran left the vantage point, a rocket hit it hard.

The scorching heat wave knocked Qin Ran to the ground.

After rolling several times, Qin Ran jumped up and continued running.

Because he could clearly see that at least a dozen more rebel soldiers had noticed him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The firepower from a dozen assault rifles instantly covered the area. Even though Qin Ran leaped and rolled before they fired, several bullets still grazed his body.

Boom!

Qin Ran, who had rolled to the ground, threw another grenade.

In the explosion, a dozen rebel soldiers fell and screamed in pain.

But this only drew more attention from the rebel soldiers in the area. When a tank in the distance began to adjust its turret, Qin Ran no longer thought about his original plan.

He had to escape!

Qin Ran ran with all his might into the rubble-filled ruins.

Boom!

The tank's turret fired.

Although the shell was blocked by the ruins, the immense force knocked Qin Ran to the ground again.

"Damn!"

Qin Ran cursed, reluctantly throwing his backpack and the unattributed [Viper-M1] to the ground.

Because he knew that with his current load, he couldn't run away!

Of course, Qin Ran wouldn't let the pursuing rebel soldiers have it so easy.

A grenade with the pin pulled was thrown onto the backpack.

With only one [Viper-M1] left, Qin Ran's speed increased significantly, and his F+ level agility was fully displayed.

He was like a combination of a gymnast and a sprinter.

Qin Ran was incredibly agile and fast.

Boom!

As he once again entered the shadows and went into stealth mode, the grenade in his backpack exploded, causing heavy losses to the pursuing rebel soldiers.

Qin Ran finally escaped the pursuit of the rebel soldiers.

This was the first time Qin Ran experienced the terror of a human wave attack!

Those soldiers, one-on-one, he had a good chance of taking them out.

Even two-on-one or three-on-one was possible!

But when the number increased to a dozen or even dozens, Qin Ran had no choice but to run.

And he had to run fast enough!

Thinking of the rocket and the tank earlier, Qin Ran felt a sense of survival.

But thinking of the backpack and sniper rifle he had to abandon, he felt a deep pain.

It was like cutting flesh!

However, if Qin Ran had to choose again, he would still do the same.

Weapons and equipment could be found again, but if he lost his life, it would be over!

Qin Ran quickly moved in the shadows, with no intention of returning to the battlefield.

Qin Ran was sure that although the rebel soldiers searching for him had suffered heavy losses, more rebel soldiers would focus on this area. Returning would be like walking into a trap.

Moreover, he had another place to go—

Saluka's military camp!

The original plan had been completely disrupted by the sudden incident, and Qin Ran needed a new plan to make up for the losses caused by the disruption of the original plan!

Of course, there was also the loss of his weapons and equipment.

Saluka's military camp naturally became Qin Ran's primary target.

He had always been interested in it.

With only three teams guarding the large camp, there were hardly any soldiers left after the necessary sentries and patrols.

With his current beginner-level [Stealth], as long as he was cautious enough, he could definitely infiltrate it silently.

And the weapons and equipment inside were far superior to what he had just abandoned.

Thinking of the piles of weapons and equipment, Qin Ran felt a surge of excitement.

Then, without stopping, he ran again.

...

The large searchlights illuminated the road and barriers in front of the camp brightly.

Especially the two heavy machine guns mounted on sandbags behind the barriers, which made anyone who saw them shudder.

However, Qin Ran's attention was more drawn to the watchtowers inside the camp.

The ten-meter-high watchtower had a rebel soldier operating a light machine gun. If anything went wrong, the rain of bullets would make any intruder feel fear.

Because the two heavy machine guns on the ground would follow with their fire.

Unless one came with a rocket or a tank, such fire could be ignored.

Qin Ran naturally had no rockets and couldn't drive a tank.

But the beginner-level [Stealth] gave him a simpler way to enter the camp.

Circling around the ruins to the side of the camp, Qin Ran used the shadows to climb a beam standing in the ruins and carefully observed.

The barracks were neatly arranged.

Five teams of three soldiers each patrolled in a crisscross pattern, making it impossible for anyone entering the camp to escape the eyes of the rebel soldiers.

"It must have been a school!"

Qin Ran guessed the camp's former use, shifting his gaze from the patrol teams to the playground and buildings behind the walls.

Then, he looked at the open space between him and the wall.

An open space that felt very out of place to Qin Ran.

"Minefield!"

Qin Ran guessed.
