Since returning from the city, Chen Nian has been rarely seen, and no one knows where he has gone.
He found a secluded spot on the route that the "Ice Society" base always took, and waited there for several days, but still came up empty-handed.
He even secretly checked the base's entrances and exits, but these doors were always closed.
That's strange. Why have they been so quiet lately? I haven't seen a single person. Don't they need to go out and search for supplies anymore?
For a whole month, Chen Nian went out early and returned late almost every day. When he was home, he would stare at his hunting rifle in a daze and practice like crazy whenever he had the chance.
Tan Jiaojiao was the first to notice something was wrong. To avoid her father's questioning, she pulled Chen Nian aside and asked him as soon as she lay down in bed that night:
"What have you been busy with during the day lately? You're always nowhere to be seen, and you even take your hunting rifle out with you."
"What, are you worried about me? Don't worry, I've been wandering around the nearby mountains these days. Last time I spotted some wild boar tracks, and maybe if we're lucky, we can catch a lot of piglets. Then we'll have more food to eat."
"Really? The animals in these mountains should have frozen to death long ago, how could there still be wild boars?"
"Yes, I also find it strange, so I go to take a look whenever I have free time, just in case I find something."
"Hmm...then I can go with you..."
Before Tan Jiaojiao could finish speaking, Chen Nian leaned down and pressed down on her:
"With so many problems, why don't we just have a baby..."
Afterwards, Tan Jiaojiao fell asleep, exhausted. Chen Nian slowly opened his closed eyes, which emitted a faint blue light...
...
Two months later, when it was time to bring Wang Feifei back to the base to prepare for childbirth, Xu Neng still left Xiao Gao at the base to deal with any emergencies, while he set off alone.
At this moment, Xu Neng drove his sled along the familiar road to the unfinished building.
Unbeknownst to him, danger was creeping closer...
Chen Nian never expected to be so lucky today. After waiting for so many days, she finally met the man she had been thinking about day and night!
In a mountain field covered with thick snow, a sled glides lightly across the snow, and the man driving it is Xu Neng!
Chen Nian recognized him at a glance!
He was driving too fast; he didn't have much time to aim and had to act quickly.
So, just as the sled was about to pass by, Chen Nian pulled the trigger...
A loud "bang!" shattered the silence.
The shotgun bullets, trailing flashes and smoke, flew toward Xu Neng.
Upon hearing the gunshot, Xu's heart skipped a beat. Instinctively, he jerked the steering wheel sharply, dodging the bullet by veering off course.
The sled spun sharply across the snow, narrowly escaping a bullet – a truly perilous moment!
Feeling the bullet graz his shoulder, Xu Neng was startled and looked in the direction of the bullet.
A man stood in the distance, pointing a gun at him...
Such accurate marksmanship!
He knew that the second shot would be even more dangerous.
Xu Neng didn't have time to see who the man was. He quickly turned his head to look ahead and rushed forward at an even faster speed.
Given the distance between them, the only way to avoid danger is to speed up and escape the range of the bullets.
As if guessing his thoughts, Chen Nian reloaded the bullets even faster and aimed again...
"Thump thump... thump thump thump..."
"Bang!"
Amidst the pounding of heartbeats, a second gunshot rang out…
Xu Neng has been shot!
The sled went out of control instantly, crashed into the nearby woods, and came to a complete stop after hitting a tree trunk.
As Chen Nian watched this scene, his heart was pounding in his chest. This day had finally come!
Heaven finally took pity on him...
How could he let such a rare opportunity slip by? He immediately raised his gun and charged forward.
One more shot would be enough to kill this man.
His palms were sweaty as he gripped the shotgun, and his expression gradually became frantic as he ran...
As he drew closer, he finally saw the tall man lying on the snow with his back to him...
The vivid, striking blood on the snow melted the snow, a sight that made even the most naive blood boil!
Was it a one-shot kill? That would be so satisfying!
Chen Nian couldn't wait to see his death. His eyes unconsciously left the aiming reticle and greedily stared at the man on the ground.
Suddenly, the man on the ground moved. In the blink of an eye, Chen Nian felt dizzy and fell heavily onto the snow!
It turned out that this was Xu Neng's way of forcing him to get closer. He knew that he would not gain any advantage by confronting the armed man head-on, and that only close combat would give him a chance of survival.
Therefore, Xu feigned serious injury to lure the assailant closer, and only launched his attack when he heard the sound of shoes stepping on the snow getting closer and closer.
Xu Neng suddenly twisted his body, braced himself with his arms, and swept his long leg across the ground, kicking Chen Nian hard in the shin. Before Chen Nian could react, he fell to the ground.
Chen Nian realized he had fallen into a trap, hurriedly got up, and secretly grabbed a handful of snow, throwing it at Xu Neng.
The snowflakes exploded instantly in Xu Neng's sight, forming a white mist...
Chen Nian seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger before he could even stand firmly.
The shot was fired at too close range; Xu Neng couldn't dodge in time, and the bullet pierced his abdomen and flew out...
Xu Neng collapsed heavily again, this time completely unable to resist, blood gushing out of his abdomen...
Only now did he realize that the man who shot him was Chen Nian!
It was a feeling that was both unexpected and expected:
The unexpected thing is that Chen Nian didn't die, and even became stronger; as expected, Chen Nian is probably the only one in the world who wants to kill me now...
