Chapter 73 Explosion-proof Artifact

Jiang Yuan's speed at this moment has exceeded its limit, and the gene serum has played its maximum role.

At such close range, he should have been hit by the time he heard the gunshot, but Jiang Yuan made up for the time difference with his reaction. When he caught the reflection in the sniper scope, he instinctively tackled Ning Yanlan.

Just as he was congratulating himself on his quick reaction, with a clang, Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan were both thrown over by something, flying nearly five meters before coming to a stop.

The prompt from the Heavenly Eye left Jiang Yuan speechless.

"Balance Messenger activated. Uncontrollable probability correction. Headshot mortality rate is 95%, currently being modified. Survival probability of 50% is being adjusted!"

"The probability has been corrected. Congratulations again to the host for surviving and defeating death!"

"The Balancer: You can beat Death many times, but Death only needs to beat you once."

Jiang Yuan, disregarding his lingering fear, picked up Ning Yanlan and began searching for cover.

Ning Yanlan saw the large crater not far away and said in a deep voice, "There's an anti-materiel sniper rifle in this godforsaken place?"

Jiang Yuan cursed Zhu Penghai countless times in his mind. "Damn it, is this a gun? This is a cannon!"

"Yanlan, raise your shield! You have to block it no matter what!" Jiang Yuan roared, using his wolf-step technique.

"It's no use. This gun can even penetrate an armored vehicle. My shield can't stop this kind of bullet!" Ning Yanlan was also obsessed with guns and knew the power of this gun. She was also very clear about how much power her spiritual shield could block. The two were far apart.

"Oh right, put on that helmet!" Jiang Yuan remembered the fishbone helmet he had opened before; wasn't that thing a head-protecting artifact?

After the two finally found a large rock to use as cover, Ning Yanlan suddenly asked, "Hey, how come you were alright just now?"

She remembered clearly that the bullet was originally meant to hit her head, but Jiang Yuan blocked it and it hit him instead. But why was Jiang Yuan unharmed?

"Put on your helmet, you're the one who has to kill that guy!" Jiang Yuan said, glancing at the Heaven and Earth Society members who had gathered around. "I'll go out as bait, you absolutely must find that guy!"

"You'll die!" Ning Yanlan rarely saw the passion she had when she was on a mission in Jiang Yuan. It was a pity that this man wasn't a soldier.

"Then let's see if he's ruthless enough!" Jiang Yuan glanced at the group of Heaven and Earth Society members outside, then said, "I'll blend in with these guys. Whether I live or die is up to fate, but..."

"Whether he lives or dies is up to you!" Jiang Yuan pointed at the apartment building. "That shot just now came from the balcony of the second room from the left on the fourth floor. The next shot might be there, but it's more likely it's moved!"

"Keep it up!" Jiang Yuan was about to leave the cover.

"Promise me! Come back alive!" Ning Yanlan grabbed him.

"Did you bring any wine? A candlelight dinner wouldn't be complete without wine!" Jiang Yuan turned around and smiled.

"Not only the wine, I also brought other things!" Ning Yanlan seemed to have come to terms with it. What's the worst that could happen? We'd all die together!

"wait for me!"

Jiang Yuan took a step forward, his speed was so fast that he dared not slacken in the slightest, because the sniper was definitely waiting for them, so he had to be faster than the guy's reaction speed to have any chance of dodging.

Sure enough, a bullet landed on the road Jiang Yuan had been running through 0.5 seconds after he appeared.

Thump! Stones flew everywhere.

Damn it!

The figure on the residential building let out a low growl and then began to move.

"Yanlan, have you found it?" Jiang Yuan asked as he ran.

“We’ve got a rough idea of ​​what’s going on. The Gale Cannon can’t hit him from 300 meters away. I need to get closer!” Ning Yanlan said in a deep voice.

"Will it work?" Jiang Yuan asked worriedly.

“I will move within two seconds after the gunshot, and the enemy will not notice me! But you will be under a lot of pressure!” Ning Yanlan said in a heavy tone.

"Go ahead, and while you're killing him, please send my regards to his family!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

Thump, there was a shot, but this time the gunman was clearly hesitant, and fired at the side of Jiang Yuan where there were no members of the Heaven and Earth Society.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, Ning Yanlan had already crouched down and run to another cover.

"Let's fight to our hearts' content tonight!" Jiang Yuan brandished his folding iron sword and plunged into the crowd.

He needs to be highly vigilant, whether it's the pressure from He Fu or the gunman, he needs to withstand it.

His ability to sense danger was his reliance, and his body, modified by gene-enhancing drugs, also provided him with rapid reactions. He believed he could hold on.

The second shot rang out, the gust of wind from the bullet stinging Jiang Yuan's face, but the man behind him was the one who suffered the most. Half of his body was smashed apart by the single shot, leaving him with no chance of survival and only the option of dying on the spot.

"Damn, that's ruthless!" Jiang Yuan was filled with dread for the gunman. It goes without saying how ruthless someone would be to kill even his own teammates. This kind of person is like a venomous tongue lurking in the shadows. He had to be killed today.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Society also chickened out. When they saw Jiang Yuan rushing over, almost all of them chose to temporarily retreat, not because they were afraid of Jiang Yuan, but because they were afraid of the gunman.

If Jiang Yuan had dodged, those around him would have been doomed. If a shot had hit their body, there would have been no chance of survival. Everyone is afraid of dying.

But Jiang Yuan wouldn't let them have their way. He would just rush into the crowd. He would never make more than one move. Each pause was only for a moment. The next moment, he would definitely move to a different position, making it more difficult for the gunmen to aim.

Thump! Another shot! This time the gunman was even more ruthless, killing two people with one shot. Two members of the Heaven and Earth Society were blown to pieces.

"Come on, if you dare, kill me!" Jiang Yuan stood still and taunted as the gunshots fell.
