I have an Apocalypse City-Chapter 866 - 867 Bridgehead Sniping_1

Chapter 866: Chapter 867 Bridgehead Sniping_1

Song Jian could now summon both of his battle pets, but only the Black Dragon could serve as a flying mount. However, revealing the Black Dragon at this moment might attract the attention of all other players. If that led to them being besieged, it could end up being more trouble than it was worth;

After pondering for a moment, Song Jian took out a motorcycle key and summoned his original ride, a Harley-like single-rider motorcycle;

Seeing Song Jian on the motorcycle, the eyes of the players lit up instantly, and some even harbored thoughts of snatching the motorcycle. But Song Jian was driving too fast, and even with the use of Acceleration Skills, they couldn’t catch up, only watching as the motorcycle sped away into the distance.

The poisonous aura would shrink every ten minutes, and it had been an hour since the game started. The speed of the poisonous aura’s contraction had increased several times and had now surpassed the running speed of an ordinary player.

Moreover, every ten minutes, the speed of this contraction would accelerate, virtually forcing all players to head to the city center as quickly as possible.

The roads of this abandoned city were also far from smooth, with damaged vehicles strewn about everywhere, in addition to many areas overtaken by weeds and plants.

...

Sometimes Song Jian had no choice but to take detours, which caused more and more players to notice someone riding a motorcycle, with the number of people looking for vehicles also increasing;

Soon, Song Jian arrived at a bridge crossing a river. The bridge was at least two hundred meters long, flanked by countless steel cables as thick as arms. On the bridge deck were several cars emitting thick smoke, seemingly damaged, with items casting a purplish-red glow scattered near them;

A sense of tension gripped Song Jian, just as a dull roar sounded next to his ear.

Bang~

It was the distinct sound of a sniper rifle. Song Jian’s heart trembled, and he instinctively squeezed the brake, steering the motorcycle behind a stout bridge pillar.

Bang!

Another sniper rifle shot rang out, and Song Jian noticed that the number of survivors had decreased by one following the sound of the gunshot;

“Someone is ambushing ahead!” Song Jian’s heart sank.

At that moment, Song Jian saw five or six people slowly swimming toward the other bank from under the bridge. Meanwhile, the person on the opposite side of the bridge with a sniper rifle was aiming precisely at those few people on the surface of the water.

Bang, bang, bang~

Splashes blossomed on the water surface. The swimmers were incredibly fast, and Song Jian even noticed that one person was always submerged, apparently possessing an item that allowed them to breathe underwater.

A thought crossed Song Jian’s mind, and his figure slowly disappeared. His epic necklace came with a Stealth Skill that easily allowed him to enter a stealth state.

Creeping slowly along the edge of the bridge, Song Jian arrived at the cars billowing black smoke. Around the vehicles, three bodies were strewn about, with several pieces of epic loot scattered around them.

Song Jian carefully selected his loot, swapping all of his equipment for epic gear. Although these items could only be used in this trial and would vanish upon leaving, for Song Jian at the moment, upgrading his gear had increased his strength by at least half compared to when he first entered the game.

Among the equipment were scattered five Skill Books and Skill Scrolls. Song Jian seized the opportunity to absorb all of them, increasing the proficiency of Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision to just over halfway;

“It’s a pity I can’t level up. I wonder if this proficiency will be retained after leaving here?” Song Jian glanced at the level three Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision and mused to himself.

Just then, Song Jian suddenly heard the roar of car engines behind him as two trucks and a sports car successively charged onto the bridge;

Song Jian saw that there were six people on the three vehicles, who seemed to have formed a temporary alliance. They did not notice anything unusual on the bridge, seemingly ignoring the damaged cars smoking up ahead, and sped forward at an extremely fast pace;

Bang!

A sniper bullet drilled viciously into the right tire of the lead car, the enormous impact flipping the vehicle to the right, while the two cars behind simultaneously slammed on their brakes. Several people quickly jumped out and took cover behind their vehicles;

“There’s a sniper ahead!” Brent pulled a longbow from behind his back and looked out through the vehicle’s rearview mirror;

“He’s really lucky to have randomly ended up here!” A man wielding a longsword and clad in heavy armor peered half his head out to take a quick glance forward, then swiftly drew back and said, “It’s in the villa on the opposite side of the bridge, third floor. I saw the reflection of his scope! Brent, can you hit him?”

“Are you kidding? The distance is over one hundred and sixty meters. My range can’t reach that far, and I can’t draw my bow as fast as he shoots. The moment I dare to stand up, he could take me out instantly!” Brent gritted his teeth;

“You’re wearing three pieces of epic equipment, how could he possibly kill you in one shot?” exclaimed the player holding a dagger next to him.

“And how do you know that the opponent’s weapon isn’t an epic piece of equipment?” Brent retorted.

Just then, another gunshot sounded. The player on the opposite side, seeing that the group on the bridge had not shown themselves, turned his attention to the players swimming desperately below the bridge.

“Kai Lun, stealth over there and see if you can take him down!” Brent shouted to the player with the dagger;

“Sure, I also want to test how powerful this epic dagger really is!” Saying this, Kai Lun’s figure gradually faded and disappeared into thin air.

Seeing Kai Lun heading towards the other side of the bridge, the group looked down below. At that moment, another player emerged with an Invincibility Aura. Aside from the one who had been stealthily underwater all along, there were now only three players left.

“Brent, why don’t you take out those three guys?” the player holding the longsword said in a low voice, eyeing the trio.

“Wait a minute, let them draw the fire from the other side, and give Kai Lun some cover time,” said another player;

All these players were from the same battle alliance, allowing them to form a temporary team. Otherwise, only one person would survive this trial, a zero-sum game. Even if players formed teams, most of their effort would likely be spent watching their teammates, to their own detriment.

As they watched Kai Lun’s transparent figure get closer to the opposite side of the bridge, suddenly a violent explosion came from across the bridge, blasting Kai Lun’s figure into the air.

“Landmine!” The group shouted in unison, looking ahead;

Just at that moment, the boom of a sniper rifle rang out, and Kai Lun, mid-air, manifested an Invincibility Aura, and was quickly teleported out of the assessment space;

This scene made Song Jian’s heart sink as he watched from not too far away, realizing Kai Lun had become his decoy. If not for Kai Lun being blown up and eliminated, it would have been Song Jian himself.
