Chapter 565

【Begging Brother Shiguang! Can you hurry up and start streaming? The child is starving! Will you accept fifty Super Fires as a gift?】

【Give it up. This trick might work on other streamers; the host would start streaming late at night without a second thought. But for Brother Shiguang, save your energy—it's useless. Those who know, know. Brother Shiguang doesn't lack money, and this small amount means nothing to him.】

【Bye, brothers! I'm off to work. When I return, I hope to see Brother Shiguang has started streaming.】

【Stop talking. It's another day of squatting at the door waiting for someone to open it!】

【Without Brother Shiguang, I'll die! Brother Shiguang, come save me quickly!】

When Ning Chen stepped out of Beilin.

He used his SSS-grade Observation to glance at the surroundings; aside from the many tourists who had come to visit,

there was nothing else worth investigating.

"I must leave here first. If someone makes a covert move, it won't be easy to react," Ning Chen muttered, then looked at the path he had come from.

He prepared to find a taxi to leave.

But this idea was quickly overturned by him.

After all, it was a dangerous moment.

If he fell for a trap because of this, it would also produce bad consequences.

So.

Ning Chen chose to leave on foot this time.

After all, with his SSS-grade physical fitness and a top speed of 120,

if he really started running,

Ning Chen could match the speed of an ordinary car at full speed, though perhaps slightly slower than the other.

But running himself would be much more convenient and simple.

He wouldn't be unable to escape after being targeted by others.

Ning Chen felt that sensation growing stronger; suddenly, a thought arose in his mind.

"It's here! Getting closer!"

"No! I've been targeted!"

There's a gun!

Ning Chen glanced at the surroundings and quickly slipped into a deserted wasteland where few people went.

Then he leaped up and hid his figure behind a tree trunk, quietly using his SSS-grade Observation to observe.

On a high slope near the entrance of Beilin.

A middle-aged burly man held a sniper rifle, aiming at the Ning Chen from just now.

As Ning Chen ran into the woods, his scope moved along with him.

Finally stopping on a tree.

"This guy, could he know I'm aiming at him?" Luo Wan said, frowning tightly. "That shouldn't be! I'm so far away here; how could I possibly be exposed!"

"No! This position can't snipe him! I must get closer and engage in combat!"

413. First Clash with Mercenaries

Luo Wan put away the sniper rifle, placed it into the black bag behind him, then pulled a pistol from the black bag, attached a silencer, released the bolt, and tucked it at his waist.

Then he pulled out a bright, sharp dagger and hid it in his trouser leg.

Finally.

Luo Wan pulled an automatic rifle from that black bag.

Anyone familiar with gunfight games would know its name upon seeing it.

AK-47.

For this weapon with immense killing power, it is extremely popular among mercenaries.

And this gun is also Luo Wan's beloved firearm.

"Old buddy, let's go. I'll take you to kill someone." Luo Wan looked at the AK and grinned.

Having said that.

Luo Wan slid down the slope, then at extremely high speed, ran from this side toward Ning Chen.

"At such a distance, it must be a sniper rifle." Ning Chen, hiding behind a tree, pondered, "According to common sense, they should occupy the high ground and be able to overlook the entire surrounding environment. So where exactly is it?"

Ning Chen slightly poked his head out, carefully observing the surroundings.

Quickly.

A small hill attracted his attention.

And in Ning Chen's heart, he had already confirmed that the person was aiming from there.

Because if Ning Chen were to assassinate someone, he would also choose this place.

"The person is gone; that intense feeling of danger has vanished, but that feeling is getting closer and closer." Ning Chen said, frowning tightly, "He's coming to find me!"

"This position is unsafe! He knows I'm here!"

Ning Chen leaped down from the tree at high speed, then landed steadily on the ground.

He looked up at the sky.

The sun was high.

Although the sky had already brightened by now.

But under the tree shade.

Ning Chen could still blend into the darkness, though the effect would be significantly reduced; if it were a mercenary, he probably wouldn't escape the other's observation.

After all, those who have experienced gunfights and survived have their perception of the surrounding environment maxed out!

Otherwise.

On the battlefield, someone could take your life while disguised.

"Then let it be as he wishes; we shall meet face to face."

Thinking thus,

Ning Chen did not hesitate; he drew the Black Blade and walked slowly toward that hillside.

As for this man's life,

Ning Chen did not intend to kill him outright. After all, he now needed some intelligence to support him. Even if he prevented the man from speaking and instead goaded him into calling others to kill him, such a provocation should still work.

After all, both sides shared the same objective.

To kill the other!

To avoid any mishap,

Ning Chen, within the System Space, kept Lei Ting Roarer and the Penetrating Spear in a state where they could be summoned at any moment.

To ensure absolute safety.

Then,

Ning Chen held the Black Blade and stood upright under the sunlight, with no cover whatsoever to shield him.

In his perception, Ning Chen directed his gaze forward; he knew that man would appear at this very spot.

Soon,

as expected.

A middle-aged man, holding an automatic rifle, quickly came into Ning Chen's field of vision.

When Luo Wan saw Ning Chen holding a Black Blade and standing motionless under the sunlight,

he first froze in surprise, not expecting this fellow to dare confront him head-on with just a blade.

Then,

Luo Wan realized that the direction Ning Chen was looking at was directly toward himself.

This meant,

that Ning Chen knew he would approach from this direction.

Thinking thus,

a bead of cold sweat rolled down Luo Wan's forehead. "How did this fellow know I would appear here? If sensing a sniper rifle aimed at him earlier was mere coincidence or someone tipped him off, I could understand that, but what is happening now?"

Ning Chen looked at Luo Wan, who stood far away without firing, and asked expressionlessly, "You, it seems, are a mercenary?"

"That's right! You found out?" Luo Wan cast all his earlier thoughts aside.

Whether or not this fellow possessed some special ability, Luo Wan must now give his all.

Otherwise, being constantly distracted would not be a good thing.
