Chapter 326: Counterattack

Cheng Shuili pulls out a Designated Player Duel Card; as long as this card can be used, Tu Dou bro can go ask for extra blessings.

Before using it, she checks the time, confirms the acid‑rain period has passed, then decisively inputs the ID.

Use successful!

The scene outside the window changes instantly; Cheng Shuili lifts her eyebrow lightly, and through the car window she happens to see a van parked by the roadside.

Su Rui, holding Youlan, steps out of the driver's seat in a bad mood; her expression is not very pleasant, her tone remains as usual, and upon seeing Cheng Shuili she asks, "Murder?"

Cheng Shuili doesn't turn around, staring at the van, and says, "Maybe not murder, but the possibility is great."

She has also been the veteran Number One since the server launched, familiar with some system patterns or items she hasn't yet encountered; from the concrete behavior she can infer a few things.

Su Rui hears this, can't get excited, sighs, and politely suggests, "Can you tell me before you use a card next time?"

Oh.

Because this makes me angry.

Cheng Shuili looks at her with some surprise, "You didn't say anything before, so I thought you didn't mind."

Su Rui is choked by this; she indeed said nothing, but she was also quite obvious.

She thinks this, then suddenly realizes her own problem.

Cheng Shuili wants communication, while she only thinks her facial expression should be noticed by the other side.

That's too unfair to Cheng Shuili; in that instant Su Rui probably thought of many things, finally she smiled irritably and urged, "Still going or not? If we don't go soon, they'll leave."

Cheng Shuili replies leisurely, "Aren't we just waiting for you?"

The two get off the car one after another; the person in the van seems to have already noticed the road merging, and upon seeing a silhouette, fired at the person ahead.

"Bang!"

The bullet slices the air, whistling with a sharp wind sound.

Leading the way is Cheng Shuili in a cloak; she isn't afraid of these, let alone a misfired shot.

The bullet hits the off‑road vehicle's door, sparking a few flames.

Though it caused no real damage, it was enough to rouse the two slackers.

Su Rui simply retreats to the car; Cheng Shuili has that miraculous recoil device, she does not.

If she really died…

Su Rui pauses, suddenly aware of her own change.

She seems a bit reluctant to give up her own life.

Cheng Shuili turns to call Su Rui to take cover, but finds the person has already withdrawn.

She pauses, then bursts out laughing in irritation.

But the anger is not aimed at Su Rui, but at the gunman inside the van!

Cheng Shuili simply pulls out her rifle, aims simply and fires a burst.

Her shooting skill is not great.

Moreover, she lives daily with Su Rui, not Ailin.

So Cheng Shuili is now just entering the cold‑weapon stage; she can't really handle hot weapons.

Hence this burst of bullets missed entirely.

Su Rui, who had been nervous, sees this and can't help laughing, saying, "Boss, I think I've found your weak point."

Cheng Shuili: "......"

She should make this guy the vanguard!

Though none hit, such a dense hail of bullets exerts psychological pressure not to be underestimated.

Though Cheng Shuili has many bullets, she can't waste them forever.

While adjusting her aim, the opponent suddenly holds up a white cloth and waves it, then shouts, "Surrender! I surrender!"

Cheng Shuili pauses, this time she truly laughs.

He was the one who fired first! Also the first to attack! Now realizing Cheng Shuili's firepower is too strong, he thinks he can't win, so he raises the white cloth to surrender?

Where does that logic come from?

Not over yet; the opponent, seeing no response, waves the white cloth again and shouts, "I've already surrendered! You won't still go after me, will you? We're the same kind, why kill each other? You're from Black Feather, right? Wu Ya sent you?! Let's talk! Nothing we can't discuss!"

Talk?

If he had said that before firing, Cheng Shuili would have gladly agreed, but now…

That's sorry.

Cheng Shuili seriously aims; she indeed lacked combat experience in her past life, but she has a friend who likes firearms, so she knows some theory.

She switches her rifle to single‑shot mode, gently pulls the trigger.

A bullet flies from the barrel, followed immediately by a wail!

Like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, the bullet actually hits the opponent's arm.

Cheng Shuili watches satisfied as the opponent jerks his arm back; the gun's caliber is large enough, and the destabilized bullet causes internal trauma, rendering his arm useless.

"You… you have no sense of righteousness!" the man in the van roars, his voice twisted by pain, "I've already surrendered!"

Righteousness?

This thing Su Rui knows.

Cheng Shuili glances at her peripherally; the man's face is grim, clearly also angry at the other's shamelessness.

They haven't reacted yet, and the man continues shouting, "I said I surrendered, can't you hear? I'm stepping out now, you put your weapons away! We can talk properly!"

Those few words are already uncomfortable, but the opponent doesn't stop: "Is it just saying a couple of words in your territory? Wu Ya's petty mind so small? You have to drive people to extinction? Believe it or not I'll expose you on the regional channel? If this gets out, who will still dare to go to your Black Feather? Do you still want to survive?!"

The response to him is a bullet.

Though it didn't wound him, it serves as deterrence and a statement of attitude.

The other side was completely silent.

Cheng Shuili cleared her throat and finally spoke: "Righteousness? When you opened fire and launched a surprise attack, why didn't you think about righteousness?"

The man in the RV seemed choked by the words; he gave no reply, only an unrestrained cry of pain.

Cheng Shuili stuck her head out to survey the situation, signaled Su Rui to keep shouting, and she herself crouched, slipping around the off‑road vehicle toward the RV.

What Cheng Shuili wants is to figure out the problem and then solve it; what's the point of staying deadlocked like this?

"I… I was just nervous for a moment!"

The man in the RV finally spoke again, his voice tinged with clear grievance and weakness, as if he truly thought Cheng Shuili and the others were unreasonable: "When the highway merged and someone appeared out of nowhere, I got scared! In this world, isn't everyone supposed to strike first? Haven't you ever made the first move?"

"If we act, we won't miss the mark," Su Rui replied coldly, "and we won't, after acting, whine and beg for mercy, only to turn the tables."
