"The armor’s sprint speed exceeds twelve meters per second, the physique is strong, better to just fire directly."
"Yeah, a headshot won’t waste too many bullets."
Tao Shi switched his AT200 to armor-piercing rounds and aimed directly at the five or six figures sneaking over in the night, resembling orcs, and then pulled the trigger.
Noel fired at the same time.
Each shot resulted in a headshot, blossoming into sprays of blood, and these Oak soldiers were swiftly killed.
"You guys, drag their bodies over here, and don’t think about hiding anything, you know, I can see it."
Noel pointed at two of the Outsider Pioneers, who without any complaints scurried over.
Clinging to the thigh of an Inner City Pioneer, although it might mean doing some hard labor, it indeed increased their safety!
The two of them had value themselves, they wouldn’t be sent to die without reason.
And occasionally, the young master of the Tao family would lend them a hand, and though there was much to do, they received at least the most basic respect.
In this regard, they were already satisfied; it was much better than following the offspring of Inner City residents directly.
The capabilities that these five or six guys had shown earlier were already enough to pose a lethal threat to them.
Even if they had ordinary assault rifles, it might be over before they could react, killed either by a night ambush or shot with arrows!
But in the hands of the Inner City master, it was just a matter of a few shots.
As they dragged the bodies, they also envied Tao Shi considerably.
The Tao family had become quite famous in the Outer City recently.
It wasn’t unheard of for people from the Outer City to move into the Inner City after showing good talent, which was a dream for many Outsiders.
But the rise of a family like the Tao’s at such a speed was somewhat startling.
They were touted as the adrenaline of the Outsiders, with Gu Qiu being a prior example...
"What’s this thing, it doesn’t look human. This one still has a bit of life left in it, tough vitality to hold on for so long after being headshot."
"The speed before wasn’t weak either, we still need to be careful."
"Luckily they have weaknesses, easier to deal with than Aliens, just the number is unknown."
"Yuan Force is too little, each one less than five points, and they don’t have skill information either."
Noel and Feng Xing continued to examine the corpses, exchanging remarks back and forth.
Tao Shi truly lacked their experience in this area, or rather, even the related knowledge that Tao Yu had wasn’t as extensive as theirs, so he just listened quietly on the side.
It was only by relying on his "Dynamic Vision" that he noted the bloodstains and said,
"These scabs are all fresh from today, they must have been in battle recently."
"Yeah, there are their enemies nearby, we need to stay alert tonight."
But then, Noel’s probe was triggered again.
Only this time, as soon as his iris connected, he heard a surprised ’Huh~’ from the other side, and then all the probes were almost simultaneously destroyed!
"Be careful! My probes have been destroyed! There’s an enemy! They might have been attracted by the gunshots."
Noel’s two autonomous machine guns began to shift their aim, and they all lowered their centers of gravity, taking cover behind the boulders, readying a defensive stance.
Choosing this location for a rest naturally meant there were strategic advantages.
Noel even directly launched a row of sensor mines forward. Enjoy exclusive content from NovelHub.Côm
Sensing the probes and simultaneously destroying them all, it was not a time to be holding back!
If it were the enemy, it would be serious trouble!
However, just then, a cool voice came from the darkness,
"Are you Pioneers? Come out and talk."
They weren’t speaking the common language, but with the help of Willpower Translation, they understood clearly.
"It’s the Reincarnators from the recent rumors!"
Feng Xing’s face turned grave.
And Tao Shi hurriedly took out his long-wave radio to update the information.
"Brother, we’ve encountered Reincarnators."
When Feng Xing and Noel saw Tao Shi’s actions, they strangely felt a sense of relief.
Having such a guy with them wasn’t only pressure, after all!
Now, as a family member, Feng Xing spoke with a deep voice,
"Friends among the Reincarnators, we have no interest here, no missions either, just looking to find our way back."
"Oh, new Pioneers, eh."
The other side seemed to already have some understanding of Pioneers and sighed lightly.
"Rest assured, we mean no harm. At the moment, we have no conflict of interest. Your gear doesn’t look bad, and we are short-handed. Just come and help us find something, and afterwards, we’ll send you on your way."
The voice that followed made everyone’s expression turn bitter.
What does ’short-handed, just come and help us out’ mean?
Isn’t it just lacking cannon fodder and pack mules!
We are familiar with this...
Maybe those things ran into the Reincarnators and ended up in this wretched state; they could be from a scattered army.
They must have heard the gunshots, seen the flashes, and discovered Noel’s surveillance equipment.
Mechanical enhancements came with many helpful tech gadgets, which were indeed effective.
Noel even had two foldable reconnaissance drones.
"This, we’re in a hurry to get back to the base, and we’ve already contacted the base."
Feng Xing certainly didn’t want to go over and be treated like a beast of burden, attempting to politely decline.
"Ha, that long-wave radio you started up? We can’t completely block it, but we do know the content of what you’re sending. What, does one of you have a brother who’s very strong?"
A scoff came through, causing their faces to change slightly.
"Stop pussyfooting around with them, collect the mines and come on over, behave yourselves. We just need your assistance in searching for someone. Once we find them, you can leave; we don’t have time to waste here, hurry up."
