Chapter 1342

Jiamian crouched on the roof of the abandoned hospital, resting on her toes. At this moment, she looked very much like a lazy wildcat.

Watching the cold light flickering on the Checking Zhan Long Shan in Su Xiao's hand, Jiamian's brows furrowed, clearly sensing that Su Xiao was not to be trifled with.

"Seems like this won't be too easy."

Jiamian's metal claws extended from her fingertips, and she flexed her ten fingers.

"How about... you hand over that gun, and afterward we pretend we never met?"

"……"

Su Xiao remained silent, just looking up and staring at Jiamian.

"Don't look at me with such a terrifying gaze. If I shout out loud right now, guess how many lone wolves I'll attract?"

"……"

Su Xiao remained silent.

"#!"

The expression under Jiamian's helmet was somewhat impatient.

"Hey! Are you a mute?"

"……"

"Tch, today's opponents are getting smarter."

Jiamian's claw tips tapped lightly on her arm, deactivating a certain function of her soft-metal armor.

Forced Hypnosis (Equipment Ability): "Use language and special wavelengths to guide the enemy. If interaction with the enemy is successfully established, the success rate of Forced Hypnosis increases to over 55%."

……

Facts proved that Su Xiao never wasting words with enemies was a very good habit. If he had engaged in more than five sentences of conversation with Jiamian, he would have been affected by the 'Forced Hypnosis' ability. Although this ability wouldn't make him lose his combat power, it would significantly reduce his perception and nerve-reflex speed.

Jiamian leaped from the rooftop. Jumping from over twenty meters high, she landed on a dilapidated wooden crate. The crate remained undamaged, and Jiamian landed on it like a feather.

Just as Jiamian landed on the crate, she leaped forward, lunging at Su Xiao. Her speed was extremely fast, but Su Xiao's intuition ability immediately sensed the opponent's movement trajectory.

Just as Su Xiao was about to swing his sword to slash, Jiamian in mid-air suddenly accelerated a second time. The moment she accelerated, the surrounding air exploded in layers of shockwaves.

Bang!

A claw mark grazed Su Xiao's face, and droplets of blood splashed.

Jiamian landed on all fours, her long tail flicking. Her landing posture was very much like a feline animal. Before landing, she had already turned her body to keep facing Su Xiao.

"Melee type."

Jiamian looked down at her lower abdomen. There was a slash mark there, and as the soft-metal outer armor surged, the slash mark vanished.

Drip, drip.

A blood streak appeared on Su Xiao's cheek, and bright red blood dripped down.

Just as Jiamian landed, D·Assassination appeared in Su Xiao's left hand. Seeing the pitch-black muzzle of D·Assassination, Jiamian felt a chill down her spine. Being hit by this thing was definitely no joke.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft...

Bullet casings ejected from the chamber of D·Assassination. Su Xiao fired five shots at Jiamian.

With a boom, Jiamian crashed through a nearby wall, rushing into an abandoned hospital.

Su Xiao rushed to the hole in a few steps, and a black shadow flashed past ahead.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

A few more shots. A faint cry of pain came, and from the hole to the interior of the abandoned hospital, there was a trail of blood.

Su Xiao sheathed the Checking Zhan Long Shan. The enemy's speed was fast, and she was a melee fighter. Being able to maintain mid-range combat was more advantageous for Su Xiao.

While changing to a new magazine, Su Xiao took a pair of yellow-tinted polarized glasses from his storage space.

【TDLY-Tactical Detector (Dark Purple, one-time item).】

Don't underestimate these glasses. Although they were a one-time item, they could see through buildings, shallow soil layers, etc., and included infrared sensing, heat sensing, sonar sensing, and more.

After Su Xiao put on the 'TDLY-Tactical Detector', his fingertips touched the temple of the glasses.

Hum~

A shockwave diffused.

【Building group planning in progress...】

【Planning complete.】

【Template assembly analysis in progress...】

【Analysis complete.】

【Constructing virtual framework building group, range: 200 meters.】

【Constructing... 10%, 20%, 30%...】

【Construction complete. Virtual framework of the building group formed. Load-bearing wall transparency: 70%, frame wall transparency: 80%, partition wall transparency: 95%.】

【Infrared sensing enabled, heat sensing enabled, dynamic sensing enabled, sonar sensing not activated (this ability is applicable underwater).】

……

The scene before Su Xiao changed drastically. The originally gray-black walls became transparent, like a virtual template. The higher the transparency, the thinner the wall; load-bearing walls and the like were darker in color.

Within Su Xiao's field of vision, the building was gray and hazy, but that trail of blood on the ground was exceptionally conspicuous. The blood emitted an orange-red light that was gradually fading, representing that the blood was slowly cooling.

In a long-abandoned operating room, Jiamian leaned against a corner, holding her lower abdomen with one hand. She had been hit by three shots: one in the lower abdomen, one in the thigh, and one in the lower back.

As a legendary-grade firearm, D·Assassination naturally made Jiamian's three hits hard to bear. The two shots to the lower abdomen and lower back were fine; her outer armor blocked over 70% of the bullets' kinetic energy. But the shot to her leg was somewhat serious; after blocking the first two shots, the outer armor entered a charging phase, causing the third bullet to pierce her calf.

Jiamian, in pain and grimacing, was speechless. She had been in melee combat with the enemy and habitually tried to open up distance; she wasn't the type to engage in sustained melee combat.

But just as she opened up the distance, the enemy actually took out a high-quality pistol and fired several shots at her.

If it were an ordinary firearm, Jiamian wouldn't care. Her outer armor had a ballistic-sensing function, capable of predicting the bullet's landing point in advance and strengthening the defense at that spot.

However, D·Assassination's bullets carried two effects: silent and perception-shielding. Jiamian couldn't predict the bullet's landing point at all, which gave her a headache.

After engaging in melee with Su Xiao, Jiamian discovered that Su Xiao's melee ability wasn't weak, or rather, this guy was originally a melee fighter, and the firearm was just a secondary weapon.

"So much for melee combat; men are all liars..."

Just as Jiamian finished speaking, a crisp sound came from behind her. A bullet silently headed toward the back of her neck.

The soft-metal outer armor surged, becoming noticeably thicker. This was a defensive form that sacrificed speed.

With a clatter, the soft metal splashed like water, and a bullet became lodged in the back of Jiamian's neck.

Although the bullet was blocked, its kinetic energy remained, and Jiamian's body pitched forward.

Clatter, clatter...

Concrete splashed on the wall. Jiamian, who had fallen to the ground, took a few more shots. After rolling on the ground a few times, Jiamian flipped over and sat up, looking around. She was a bit stunned by the bullets that had appeared out of nowhere.

The soft metal surged, and bullet heads fell to the ground.

A bullet penetrated the concrete wall, heading straight for Jiamian's brow.

The bullet hit Jiamian's brow, and with a hum in her brain, she sat directly on the ground.

Reaching out to pick out the bullet from her brow, Jiamian shook her head and patted her ears. She couldn't hear anything anymore.

Jiamian had been hit by many bullets, but the one to her head was the most vicious. It had to be said that Jiamian's survival ability was indeed very strong. If any other Fourth Tier Qiyuezhe had been hit by so many shots from D·Assassination, they would have died on the spot long ago.
