However, this was quickly replaced by excitement.
With Qin Sheng's strength, let alone the top five, it's not impossible for him to compete for first or second place!
The Manzu Alliance has secured the mining rights!
I just hope Qin Sheng doesn't run into Gunshen...
Zhu Xiyuan wasn't worried about anything else at the moment, except that the leader of the H Party might assign Gun Shen an extra task, such as "getting rid of Qin Sheng."
Although Qin Sheng is indeed very strong, if she were to face Gun Shen...
Zhu Xiyuan shuddered and quickly looked back at the big screen.
But when he saw the scene that the director had just switched to on the main screen, his pupils dilated and his heart jumped into his throat.
In a forest of scattered rocks.
Qin Sheng stopped after turning a corner and looked up at a particularly thick rock pillar, about two people tall, on the other side.
Just then, a tall and imposing figure emerged from behind.
Wearing a protective shield, only the face below the forehead could be seen through the bulletproof glass, which was not very clear, but Qin Sheng recognized the other person just by looking at those empty and indifferent eyes.
It was a familiar face—Gun.
Qin Sheng's fingers twitched slightly as he gripped the pistol, but he did not immediately fire.
She gazed at him silently.
The other person was also looking at her, their empty eyes devoid of emotion, only occasionally flashing with a hint of doubt and confusion.
After a long pause, he spoke quietly: "Your marksmanship is excellent."
His voice was as empty as his eyes, with a touch of etherealness, yet it made Qin Sheng's usually cool and aloof expression falter slightly, and she suddenly looked up at him.
Gunshin didn't notice her momentary unease. After a moment's thought, he took out a silver-cased gun from his waist and waved it lightly: "Want to try it?"
But as he looked up, his ear twitched slightly, and his fingertips swiftly pulled the trigger of the silver gun, the bullet leaving the barrel instantly.
Qin Sheng's brow twitched, and he instinctively wanted to raise his gun in defense, but in the next moment he suddenly realized something, and the hand he had just raised instantly changed direction.
The bullet flew through the air at an extremely high speed, finally striking a bullet fired from the side about three meters away from Qin Sheng's left temple.
A piercing metallic scraping sound rang out, accompanied by sparks flying as the two bullets, colliding at a perpendicular angle, simultaneously changed their trajectories and finally landed behind Qin Sheng.
At the same time, a loud elimination announcement came from the air, and Qin Sheng slowly withdrew her hand that was held out to the side.
Less than twenty meters to her left, a man with short hair and a beard stared blankly at the red warning light flashing incessantly on his chest.
"How could this be..." he couldn't help but murmur.
The short-bearded man, Kenneth, was actually hiding in this area all along, making no sound and even breathing very quietly.
He had noticed Qin Sheng as soon as he entered the area. He originally intended to take advantage of the situation and eliminate the other party, but changed his mind after discovering another figure.
Kenneth remained hidden among the rocks until Gunsun spoke. Once Qin Sheng focused his attention on Gunsun, he immediately seized the opportunity and fired.
But the result was...
What he thought was a foolproof shot was shot down by Gun Shen, and he himself was hit by Qin Sheng and eliminated.
The way things unfolded was completely unexpected, and his anger burned ever brighter!
He glared at Gunshin across from him, his anger blazing: "Are you insane!"
Gunshen was still somewhat stunned, but upon hearing this, he slowly lifted his eyelids, his still empty eyes glancing at him indifferently: "Get lost."
He casually pulled the trigger.
Kenneth felt a sharp pain in his right thigh, and immediately warm liquid flowed down.
His eyes widened, and he suddenly looked up.
But when she met the man's empty eyes, her heart turned cold, as if even her soul had been frozen.
Kenneth finally came to his senses, his rationality returned, and he realized who the other person was.
Not daring to say another word, he quickly treated his bleeding thigh and limped away with the drone that had flown down.
The area quickly quieted down.
The two stared at each other for a moment, and finally Qin Sheng spoke first.
"Why did you save me?" she asked in a cold, flat voice.
Why?
A hint of doubt flashed across Gunshin's face. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Because I discovered you first?"
What's with that strange questioning tone?
If I remember correctly, she was asking him if he was okay?
However, Qin Sheng was now certain that it wasn't the reason she had thought, so she didn't ask any further questions. She casually put away her pistol and walked towards him.
Gunshin frowned, took a step back, and said, "What are you doing?"
Qin Sheng continued walking, saying calmly, "Didn't you want to compete with me? Let's find another place."
As she spoke, she walked past him without looking back, seemingly unconcerned whether he might suddenly shoot or ignore her and not follow.
Gunshin raised his gaze and glanced in the direction of the sky, paused for a moment, and finally followed.
The last thing the drone captured was the back view of the two leaving one after the other. It's unclear how Qin Sheng led the way, but within a minute, the drones covering the entire area stopped capturing images of the two.
The audience in front of the big screen looked at each other, completely bewildered.
"Wait, what's going on? Not only did Gunn not attack her, but he also helped her fend off Kenneth's attack, and now he's just following her without saying a word?"
What happened to the three major forces joining forces to target the 卍 Alliance? Has Gunshin betrayed them?
More than one person shared this thought, and everyone couldn't help but cast strange glances at the leader of the H Party.
The blatant "Your boss has betrayed us" statement made the H Party leader's lips twitch and his face turn ashen.
However confused and angry he was, he was unwilling to make a fool of himself in front of so many people.
He quickly composed himself and calmly said, "The God of Gun must have finally found a worthy opponent and wants to have a one-on-one match with him."
He himself didn't believe this, let alone anyone else.
After all, everyone saw it with their own eyes. Gunshen and Qin Sheng only exchanged glances and didn't even fire a shot. How could they tell that the other party was a good shot?
Surely, even from that great distance, with several piles of rocks blocking the view, the God of War couldn't possibly have seen what happened to Qin Sheng when he eliminated a contestant before, could he?
They thought about it, but they still had to save face for each other, and they all showed expressions of sudden realization: "I see."
Some even flattered him, saying, "No wonder Gunshin became a top marksman at such a young age; that's the kind of spirit of exploration and learning he needs!"
H Party Leader: ...Shut up, okay?
Little did he know that what he thought was a reason he made up on the spot was actually quite accurate.
