However, on the verge of death, s...

Chapter 355 Unexpected Injury

Unable to find anyone, the armed personnel didn't stop there; they laid more landmines around the base.

While burying himself in hard work, he also shouted arrogantly:

"Come on, you heartless, traitorous villain! You only dare to scheme behind people's backs. Have the guts to stand up and fight me!"

One person laughed loudly and patted his chest:

"Come on, come on, come on, shoot here! Shoot here! You bastard, all you do is steal chickens and other petty things under the cover of darkness, ugh! You shameless bastard!"

A sharp whistling sound rang out, and a tremendous force struck, directly knocking the man back more than ten steps, blood splattering everywhere, exploding into a blooming crimson velvet flower.

The bullet, soaked in blood, continued its trajectory with undiminished force, slamming into the rocky outcrop beside the base gate with a bang. A large chunk of rock collapsed, and the entire mountain trembled.

The armed man who was hit did not die immediately. He seemed to be in shock, staring at his chest in astonishment as his lower body was severed from his body. With a dull thud, his upper body crashed heavily to the ground.

He was about to faint, but the pain brought him back to his senses. He tried to open his mouth wide, but couldn't even utter a sound of pain. His hands trembled as he tried to support himself, but he was so frightened by his own grotesque appearance that he leaned back. His face, which was distorted by extreme fear, gradually froze. After a few weak gurgling sounds from his throat, he breathed his last.

The other armed men were terrified by the horrific scene before them and scattered in all directions.

Another piercing scream rang out, and another armed man's body exploded. Bullets passed through him, piercing both of them, and crimson blood gushed out like a waterfall.

The jet of blood sprayed onto his companion, who was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

The sniper, hidden in the shadows, finally located the brother and sister's hiding place and immediately pulled the trigger. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The bullets arrived in an instant.

At the critical moment, the brother and sister hid in the space.

Almost simultaneously, several explosions rang out, and the location they had just been standing in was completely covered by artillery fire.

Zuo Ling looked at the huge thing in Pei Nansheng's hand with longing, "This thing is too powerful! Where did you find it? I didn't see it before."

Pei Nansheng rolled her eyes at her, "Didn't you see? You complained that it was heavy, that it looked bad, that it was big and stupid, but you wouldn't use it."

"Is that so? I don't remember it."

Zuo Ling is suffering from amnesia. She vaguely remembers that she got this weapon when she attacked the American base in the Ice and Snow Continent. Besides this one, there should be two more.

Pei Nansheng chuckled twice at her.

"Come on, come on, teach me how to use it. Those two shots were so cool, one shot through three, so awesome."

"Tch, what's so special about that? This kind of heavy sniper rifle can take down armored tanks and attack helicopters. It's a waste to use it on people. If those guys weren't so arrogant, I wouldn't bother with them."

Pei Nansheng has only had a few opportunities to use a heavy sniper rifle across his two lifetimes. He originally intended to use it to shoot the goal, but those arrogant guys got it for free.

Chaos erupted at the secret base. Some went to report to Liu Bao'er, while others dragged away the unconscious people. Two armed helicopters suddenly appeared, searching everywhere for Pei Nansheng and his sister.

The brother and sister leisurely ate and drank in the space, and also studied how to use the heavy sniper rifle.

As night fell, the secret base, which had been bustling all day, became peaceful and serene.

A bird flew at breakneck speed, heading straight for the secret base like lightning.

When it was 200 meters away from the base gate, a red light flashed, accurately capturing the bird's trail.

With a whoosh, several high-brightness incandescent lamps instantly lit up, illuminating the entire area as if it were daytime.

At the same time, machine gun fire erupted, rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat... bullets rained down in the direction where the birds had appeared.

Someone was shouting instructions, the sound of hurried running began, and two helicopters roared to life.

Hiding in the space, Zuo Ling broke out in a cold sweat. Holy crap! This was the first time she had ever encountered a laser alarm device.

The Ding family is truly like a centipede that doesn't die easily; even after being crippled, they were still able to quickly organize such a powerful counterattack. They underestimated the Ding family.

Pei Nansheng was unconscious. Zuo Ling wanted to go out and fire a heavy sniper shot to satisfy her craving. Taking advantage of Pei Nansheng's lack of awareness, she knocked him unconscious.

Just a second before he fainted, Pei Nansheng was still conscious, and that look in his eyes... well, I'd better not wake him up yet.

The three little ones ran over to rub against Zuo Ling. When they saw the heavy sniper rifle in her hand, Gouzi and Xiaolang got very excited. One barked and the other howled, eager to fight.

Waterfall wrinkled its rabbit face, tilted its head to look at Zuo Ling, and stomped on Pei Nansheng with its toes, as if to say, "What's wrong with the big oaf? Why isn't he with you?"

"He...is tired and is sleeping."

The waterfall glanced at her sideways, realizing she was becoming less and less sincere in her deception of the rabbit.

Cursing and swearing came from outside, the foul language making people furious.

Zuo Ling rubbed the rabbit's head. "Good boy, go play somewhere else and don't get in the way."

The dog and the wolf cub were unhappy. "Hmph, looking down on us! We are very brave."

Zuo Ling ignored them, glanced outside but couldn't see anyone, only the cursing continued and became more and more offensive.

"You're so mean, aren't you?" Zuo Ling threw a grenade out of the space.

Bang, bang, bang, bang... The armed men watched helplessly as grenades rained down from the sky, unable to see the enemy, and fired wildly.

A bullet struck an oncoming grenade, bang... The grenade exploded above the armed men's heads, ah... ah, several screams rang out, and several figures were blown up.

Liu Bao'er saw this on the monitor and cursed, "Idiot."

Zuo Ling saw it too and laughed loudly. "The Ding family, the Ding family, I thought they were so powerful, but they're just a paper tiger. They dare to use such armed personnel. It seems they really have no one else to rely on."
