Chapter 4
The gunshots gradually subsided, and the wails of the wounded came.
Su Xiao, observing in secret, felt that the timing was ripe. The burly man Toby's side had already beaten back the enemy refugees.
The refugees' fighting had no strategy to speak of; after a chaotic burst of shooting, they began to chase blindly.
Climbing out of the house, Su Xiao landed steadily, but immediately lowered his body.
The scene that came into view was a continuous mountain of trash. Blue smoke rose from the trash mountain, and a foul stench rushed into his nose.
Su Xiao didn't care about this; his eyes were fixed on a gun on the ground in the distance. It was a short-barreled flintlock pistol. Although it was a bit dilapidated, it was a lethal weapon that could kill.
The owner of the short-barreled flintlock pistol was already dead, half of his throat shattered by a stray bullet, his death looking extremely miserable.
Perhaps because the location of the death was relatively hidden, the burly man Toby's faction didn't discover this gun, otherwise, in the weapon-scarce "Scrap Terminal," they would never have left this "short-barreled flintlock pistol" here.
Lowering his body, Su Xiao began to approach the gun.
But just at this moment, a thin refugee had already rushed to the front of the "short-barreled flintlock pistol," and that filth-covered palm reached for the "short-barreled flintlock pistol."
Su Xiao frowned, not because the other side had snatched the opportunity, but because he was afraid the other side would attract the attention of the two factions.
Picking up a stone the size of a fist, Su Xiao threw it with all his might.
The stone carried immense force and fiercely smashed into the refugee's arm.
"Bang."
The refugee was staggered and let out a miserable howl.
Su Xiao rushed behind the other person in quick steps, tilted his body, and fiercely kneed the refugee's spine.
The refugee's body arched forward, and a mouthful of sour water sprayed out, but even after receiving such a heavy blow, the refugee actually only staggered forward two steps and didn't fall.
Su Xiao's pupils contracted. Just how strong is the physical fitness of humans in the Pirate World? And this was just the refugee with the worst physical fitness.
But at this moment, he couldn't care about that. Su Xiao found that the refugee already had a ferocious look in his eyes, as if he were a provoked wild beast, his yellow teeth clenched, and his masseter muscles protruding.
If this ferocious appearance were replaced by an ordinary person, they would definitely retreat subconsciously, but Su Xiao was different. He had combat experience and knew in his heart that if he ran now, his exposed back would be hit by a bullet.
Clenching his fist, Su Xiao had already punched the other person in the jaw before the refugee could recover.
There are a large number of blood vessels distributed in the human jaw. If it is suddenly hit hard, it will lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, then trigger insufficient oxygen supply, and cause short-term coma.
"Bang." A few bloody yellow teeth flew far away.
After taking Su Xiao's full-force punch, the refugee fell straight backward, like a wooden stick that had been planted.
An ordinary person hit in the jaw would faint for dozens of seconds, but the natives of the Pirate World had mysteriously strong physiques, so Su Xiao flipped the refugee's body over and aimed another punch at the back of the other person's neck.
With a muffled bang, the refugee's life or death was unknown.
Su Xiao grabbed the "short-barreled flintlock pistol" on the ground, and immediately a line of text appeared before his eyes.
Before Su Xiao could check it, a large group of people ran over from the distance; it was Toby's faction that had failed the pursuit.
Su Xiao felt a chill in his heart. At this time, once discovered, he might not even have the chance to speak and would be turned into a sieve directly. These people had already killed until their eyes were red.
Scanning left and right, Su Xiao's face was a bit ugly. The location he was in was surrounded by towering mountains of trash, and these trash mountains formed a ring, blocking the surroundings.
Su Xiao didn't dare to climb those extremely unstable trash mountains. The trash mountains could collapse at any time, and he didn't know what was buried in them. If he were unlucky enough to be pierced by a sharp object, in such a harsh environment, even if he didn't die from excessive blood loss, he would die from infection.
So Su Xiao could only flip into that dilapidated house. The girl named Mia was looking at him with fear on her face.
This time, without Su Xiao's reminder, Mia spoke on her own.
"I won't speak."
Realizing that she had already spoken, Mia hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes still glancing at the "short-barreled flintlock pistol" in Su Xiao's hand.
Not long after Su Xiao entered the house, noisy sounds came from outside.
After a burst of cursing, it gradually became quiet outside. It seemed those people had returned to scavenge for supplies, but listening to those angry voices, the harvest was clearly not very good.
Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and began to check the prompt that had appeared earlier.
【Obtained: Dilapidated Flintlock Pistol (White)】
Dilapidated Flintlock Pistol (White)

【Hunter has obtained equipment for the first time, starting equipment grade introduction】
【Equipment is divided into White, Green, Blue..., insufficient tier to obtain the following data, please explore on your own, Hunter.】
【Hunter has come into contact with Paradise Coins for the first time, starting Paradise Coin explanation.】
【Using Paradise Coins can trade with Reincarnation Paradise or other Qiyuezhe; this is the only universal currency of Reincarnation Paradise】
【Warning: Please use every Paradise Coin with caution, because that is your capital for survival or becoming stronger.】
Su Xiao nodded thoughtfully. It seems that Reincarnation Paradise has a strict system, not only marking the performance of various weapons but also having a perfect currency mechanism.
Although Su Xiao knew he would experience many dangers next, he felt some expectation in his heart, expecting Reincarnation Paradise to make him stronger.
Although he doesn't know the method to become stronger yet, there must be such a method in "Reincarnation Paradise," otherwise he cannot complete more difficult missions in the future.
Carefully checking the 【Dilapidated Flintlock Pistol】 in his hand, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.
Finally, he had a weapon; otherwise, in this dangerous world, he would find it hard to be at ease.
But compared to firearms, Su Xiao prefers to use cold weapons, such as a sword, that kind of long sword with a narrow blade and extreme sharpness.
If his own sword were by his side, Su Xiao's combat power would increase by at least 50%.
Su Xiao already understood the basic situation, and now he needed to prepare to complete the mission. The mission time limit was only 72 hours.
Su Xiao didn't want to try what would happen if the mission failed, so he could only devote himself wholeheartedly to the completion of the mission.
But wanting to assassinate a country's king is definitely not a simple matter, so he needs some other methods, at least to be able to get close to that king.
Su Xiao had never had the idea of sneaking into the palace secretly, because in the Pirate World, there is something called Observation Haki.
According to Su Xiao's memory, this king should be related to the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons. Even if a master proficient in Observation Haki appeared by his side, it was not impossible.
Otherwise, with Su Xiao's assassination ability, the difficulty of the mission to kill a king could never be lv. 3.
In the real world full of surveillance equipment, Su Xiao could realize his revenge plan, let alone in the Pirate World with backward technology?
But it's too early to think about these things now. The primary thing is to understand his location. "Reincarnation Paradise" doesn't have a map function; everything depends on his own exploration.
Su Xiao's gaze turned to the girl hiding in the corner. She lived in the "Scrap Terminal" and must know it very well.
After noticing Su Xiao's gaze, the girl Mia curled up her body.
"What are you going to do?"
The girl's voice was trembling, and there was a crying tone. She had been hiding her gender because in the Scrap Terminal, being a woman is a very dangerous gender.
"Are you hungry?"
Su Xiao squatted in front of the girl, a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were a bit cold.
He is not a kind person; hatred had long ago erased the kindness in his heart.
