For a moment of thrill, Luo Chen binds to a villain system. After finally finishing his role, he is told that he failed. To get the wish granted by the system and return home, Luo Chen starts over ...
"Xiao Wu? Is it Xiao Wu?" Luo Chen asked in surprise, his hand on his earpiece.
The crackling sound of electricity passing through made the noise Luo Chen heard very noisy. After all, this was around a jungle, so the signal might not be very good, which was understandable.
But Xiao Wu's shout made Luo Chen a little nervous. Could it be that something unexpected had happened later?
If that's the case, it's not good for Luo Chen. He's running in the opposite direction, completely opposite to Xiao Wu and the others, so it's very likely he won't be able to provide support if he goes there now.
But upon closer reflection, Luo Chen felt that since nothing unusual had happened, perhaps Xiao Wu simply wanted to tell Luo Chen about the situation over there.
"I hope everything's alright." Luo Chen sighed and wiped the sweat from his face.
This final moment made him a little nervous. The continuous battles had caused Luo Chen's physical strength to drop very quickly. Fortunately, he still had some food with calories on him, otherwise Luo Chen really wouldn't know how to deal with the situation.
"John must be furious this time. Now he can't care about that side anymore, which reduces the pressure on Xiao Wu. Hopefully they can bring Mu Shanhai and the others back as soon as possible."
Luo Chen tore off the wrapper and took a big bite, taking a moment to catch his breath before John and the others caught up. After all, the upcoming battle would consume even more of his energy.
Although the opposing team had fewer people this time, Luo Chen knew that apart from Roy's previous group, the rest of John's teammates were all quite capable.
The reason Luo Chen was able to gain some advantages over them at the rest stop was entirely because Luo Chen knew the rest stop better, and John didn't seem to care much about Luo Chen at that time. This allowed Luo Chen to take down quite a few people at the rest stop, but the situation is completely different now.
It's not so much hardship as suffering, but rather an added hardship.
Luo Chen's gaze was firm, and all his senses were now fully activated.
If Luo Chen had used 80% of his power in all the previous battles, he was now fully prepared. No matter what, he would do his best to kill his opponent at this moment.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao..."
Just as Luo Chen took a bite of chocolate, he heard the voice again. His expression immediately changed, and he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth before replying, "Xiao Wu, I can hear you now. What is it?"
"Brother Xiao, I finally got in touch with you." Xiao Wu's tone was very excited, perhaps because he had been trying to contact Luo Chen for a long time without success. This time, he finally succeeded.
"Xiao Wu, what's the situation on your end? What's the situation with Mu Shanhai?"
Luo Chen quickly inquired, still concerned about the safety of Mu Shanhai and the others, and of course, even more importantly, whether Jiang Xian'er and the others had been harmed.
In any case, Jiang Xian'er and Mu Shiyu are key to Luo Chen's return. Furthermore, Jiang Xian'er was brought up by Luo Chen, and if her safety is not guaranteed in the end, Luo Chen will regret it for the rest of his life.
Luo Chen still hoped he could see things through to the end.
"Brother Xiao, let me put it simply. Wu Hao has captured them, but their lives are not in any danger at the moment. Wu Hao knows Mu Shanhai's value, so naturally he won't do anything bad."
"That's good too." Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Luo Chen's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
Although this was bad news, what Luo Chen cared about most was that nothing had happened to them. That was the most important thing. As long as nothing happened, Luo Chen would have a way to deal with it in the end.
"The current situation is that while we were chasing them, because of the path Wu Hao and the others were taking, Mike and I discussed splitting up to search for them. Mike predicted that Wu Hao might return to the rest point via another route at this time, and I am now heading towards the rest point."
"Brother Xiao, what's the situation on your end? I'm a little worried."
Haha, that little rascal!
Luo Chen smiled knowingly. No wonder Xiao Wu kept calling for him; it turned out she was concerned about the situation here.
Luo Chen originally wanted to curse, but when he thought of how Xiao Wu was concerned about him at this time, he decided to let it go, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.
"If that's the case, then listen to Mike. He's more experienced. Protect Mu Shanhai and the others, and try your best to prevent any problems from happening to them."
"Oh, one last thing." Luo Chen paused, then continued, "Xiao Wu, take good care of yourselves."
"Don't worry, Xiao-ge, don't worry, I will definitely handle things here and come back to save you as soon as possible."
"You little brat, you think you can save me? Do you even have the skills?" Luo Chen retorted.
"Okay, I'll hang up now."
After Luo Chen finished speaking, he seemed to sense the pursuit behind him and looked around.
It must be said that the jungle here is even deeper and the trees are even taller than the previous mountain, which gives Luo Chen more room to maneuver.
"Let's start with some small traps."
Luo Chen took out his tools and began to use the surrounding trees to make some small traps. Although it was impossible to make anything big in such a short time, he could still make some small traps.
"Very strong, isn't it very strong? I'll make sure you can't leave once you come in this time."
"You may enter with your life, but you may not return with your life."
Luo Chen muttered to himself as he made the trap.
If it weren't for John and the others, Luo Chen would have gone back long ago, and none of this would have happened.
To be honest, Luo Chen didn't want to be this serious, but the current situation forced him to be ruthless. If he didn't give them a little shock, they wouldn't know why he was so fierce.
"Xiao, get out here, hurry up and get out here."
John, standing outside the jungle, glared angrily and roared into the jungle.
He was already itching to get his hands on Luo Chen, wishing he could grab Luo Chen and squeeze him to show him who he was provoking.
"Xiao, I know you're in there, but I'm telling you, this time I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you."
"Hey, hey, don't do that, what a deep grudge." Hiding in the jungle, Luo Chen grinned mischievously, not expecting that John's Dao heart had already been destroyed by him at this moment.
This time, they're probably desperate. After all, they brought so many people only to have them killed by Luo Chen and reduced to so few. Anyone would be furious.
Luo Chen ignored him and did not continue shooting at John at this moment, not because he did not want to shoot and kill John at this moment, but because the distance was too far.
Moreover, firing at long range in the jungle now would likely result in a mistake, so it's completely unnecessary.
"Roy, take the men inside." John shouted to Roy beside him when there was no response.
"Oh no, oh no, what if I get killed as soon as I go in?" Roy was in a dilemma, and a look of distress flashed across his face. If he went in directly and Luo Chen was waiting for him inside, wouldn't his fate be the same as the previous squad leader?
Kill him with a headshot?
"It's all my fault. Who would have thought that I would put myself on such a high pedestal when I was talking to Mona before?"
Roy was still trying to figure out how to get out of the situation when John, seeing that Roy hadn't made a move, snapped, "Roy, what are you doing? Why aren't you taking the men inside?"
"Okay, okay." Roy nodded hurriedly. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go through with it. Although it was more difficult for Roy than Luo Chen, offending John would have a greater consequence.
"Men, go!" Roy waved to his team, deciding to let them go first. If Luo Chen was waiting inside, he could find cover and hide, so John wouldn't be able to find his weaknesses.
"You guys, follow on the left." After seeing Roy lead his men inside, John then directed his group of skilled teammates to move towards the rear.
"careful!"
call out!
Suddenly, one of Roy's team members stepped on a piece of wood, and immediately a wooden arrow flew straight down from the big tree in front of them, rushing towards the mercenary like the wind.
"Damn, that scared me to death." After being pulled by his teammates behind him, the mercenary collapsed to the ground.
Thus, they dodged the incoming arrow.
Roy, who was behind him, had already moved to the back. Roy was startled and thought that Luo Chen was lying in ambush and firing at him.
Although the trap was decent, it was still too easy for these seasoned mercenaries.
"Hmph, resorting to such petty tricks? He's just a piece of trash," John said disdainfully from the side.
In his view, using such petty tricks was utterly pathetic.
For a mercenary to resort to such pathetic tactics at this time is nothing short of clown behavior.
"Let's go, keep going forward!" Roy had grown bolder at this point. If he continued to act like this, John would definitely see him.
But at this very moment, Luo Chen, who was in the distance, was watching the situation through his binoculars.
A mocking smile appeared on Luo Chen's face as he aimed his gun at a tree trunk. There happened to be a grenade on that tree trunk, which was also the last grenade Luo Chen had.
"Now you're being negative, aren't you? Well then, I'll show you what happens when you let your guard down."
After saying that, Luo Chen pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the bullet shot out from the muzzle and flew towards the tree trunk.
When they heard the gunshot, Roy, John, and the others were all jolted, before they could even react.
With a loud bang, the tree trunk collapsed.
The tree trunk fell directly towards Roy and his group.
At this moment, while everyone was focused on the tree trunk, Luo Chen started the engine.
