Chapter 1353: Chapter 64: Listen to My Explanation

There’s no sign of any living Contractor in sight, but if anyone tries to walk into the Powder Wine House, they’ll be shot into a sieve instantly.

meters east of the Powder Wine House, Su Xiao crouched in front of a window of a three-story building, holding the Duke of Extinction beside him.

Su Xiao certainly wouldn’t rush directly to the vicinity of the Powder Wine House—that’s the reckless way. According to his preliminary observation, there are at least 50 Contractors around the Powder Wine House, potentially even more.

These Lone Wolves have been stalemated around the Powder Wine House for several days. Of course, some have attempted to charge closer to it, like the Fourth-tier Contractor Iron Tank.

After enduring dozens of bullets and various long-range abilities, Iron Tank chickened out. Lan Zuo also tried, but as soon as he appeared, other hidden Contractors surfaced, clearly intending to fish in troubled waters. Helpless, Lan Zuo had to retreat for now.

Some have attempted to clear out these Lone Wolves, but after just facing 2-3 Wolves alternately, they couldn’t go any further. No one present has the ability to clear the field.

Temporary teams, alliances, all these methods have been tried, but they’re pointless. No one present would allow others to approach Roger’s Gun. For Contractors with storage space, touching the artifact means an immediate escape.

Su Xiao pressed the high-tech invisible earpiece in his ear and spoke, "How’s it going?"

"What?"

Little Bun behind Su Xiao was confused.

"Then just keep watching, don’t act hastily."

"Okay, still watching."

Little Bun nodded in agreement.

"I’ll find a way to create an opportunity."

"What opportunity?"

Little Bun kept a puzzled face. As Little Bun looked confused, Su Xiao pressed her down with one hand and took out Soft Alloy Tape from the storage space, sealing her mouth.

"Mmm, mmm..."

Little Bun looked innocent, meaning—obviously, you asked me first.

Inside the Powder Wine House, Bubu Wang sat squat beside Roger’s Gun, its dog face twitching. Su Xiao asked Bubu Wang a question, Little Bun answered immediately—it’s quite hilarious.

Bubu Wang yawned, thinking that this randomly captured ’Lucky’ Healer is just a chatty personality.

Bubu Wang has already infiltrated the Powder Wine House, and Roger’s Gun is less than 3 meters away from it, yet it dares not to touch this gun. Right now, who knows how many eyes are watching it. If Roger’s Gun disappears, the Powder Wine House will be leveled instantly.

As for the Contractors’ perception, reconnaissance, and other means, they were ineffective against Bubu Wang. A few days ago, it wandered right under the noses of Garp, Kizaru, and General Crane, with none of them detecting Bubu Wang’s presence.

Bubu Wang let out a long yawn next to Roger’s Gun, almost singing "loneliness is invincible."

What Su Xiao needs to do now is create chaos—to attract the attention of all Contractors around.

"Hide over there, as the fight begins, activate the Buff State immediately. If anyone tries to kill you, escape right away. Got it?"

Su Xiao pointed to a shop a hundred meters away—there’s no Contractor in that area.

"Mmmmmm..."

Little Bun, bound with tape, let out a whimper.

Tsss~

"Oh! It hurts~ Rip it slower..."

A moment later, the chatty Little Bun regained her freedom.

"Did you understand what I said earlier?"

"Yes, Buff State, detection. Before someone comes to kill me, I won’t interrupt the Buff Effect enhancement for you. If someone closes in on me, I can just enhance 2-3 more states for you, but then I have to escape. I don’t have much combat ability."

"Alright."

Though Little Bun was a bit jumpy and chatty, her Healer professionalism was quite good. From what she said, even if someone got close, she could continue supporting Su Xiao for a while—a short time.

Little Bun’s cooperation is due to Su Xiao’s charisma personality? Of course not. If Little Bun supports Su Xiao in combat, she’ll get at least 10% of the Pirate Reputation Su Xiao gains from killing enemies. Without such a combat mechanism, Support classes have no growth environment in Reincarnation Paradise.

Su Xiao didn’t try to exploit Little Bun forcibly, just used her support ability, albeit a bit roughly—so Little Bun didn’t plan to stab him in the back. After her teammates died, she personally experienced how difficult it is to survive within Reincarnation Paradise.

Little Bun quickly hid inside the house, and Su Xiao took out the binoculars to start observing the surroundings.

"One, two..."

After initial observation, there were 6 snipers around the Powder Wine House. These 6 formed a hexagram shape, enclosing the Powder Wine House within—a sniper formation.

Putting away the binoculars, Su Xiao cycled the bolt of the Duke of Extinction, loading 5 rounds. Even if he can kill one person with each shot, he can’t take down all 6 snipers. Moreover, are these snipers like the short-haired women squad, knocked down one by one with a single shot?

Su Xiao took a deep breath. After firing the first shot, he must fire subsequent shots in a short time, or he’ll be focused by those 6 snipers. Besides, the number of snipers might not be only 6.

Adjusting the aim, Su Xiao turned the muzzle, briefly aimed, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The bullet left, heading straight towards a bell tower.

Mid-floor of the bell tower, a man holding a sniper rifle suddenly lifted his head, rapidly turning his body into metal.

With a snapping sound, the bullet pierced through the wall and into the man’s chest, scattering metal fragments.

"Command 7, reshape."

The man spoke, and the metal fragments before him recoiled.

"Command 7 failed, sustaining wounds beyond reshape range, initializing..."

A mechanical voice emanated from his body, his pupils rippled briefly, and then the man fell to the ground with a clear sound—not dead but unable to move temporarily.

The loud gunshot from the Duke of Extinction broke the surrounding deathly silence. The moment the shot rang out, dozens of pairs of eyes turned to the position Su Xiao was in.

Just at that moment, another shot from the Duke of Extinction sounded.

Bang, bang, bang...

Large cracks appeared on the building where Su Xiao was. Two bullets pierced through the walls, heading straight for Su Xiao’s chest and head.

Su Xiao vanished, reappearing at another window, jamming three rounds into the Duke of Extinction.

Another three shots sounded as Su Xiao emptied the Duke of Extinction, the ground around him littered with Energy Shield fragments.

Drip, drip...

Blood flowed from Su Xiao’s shoulder—he’d been hit. These Lone Wolves are truly not to be trifled with. He fired a total of eight shots, and among the six snipers, only two were killed.

The sniper battle was intense but brief. Those lurking around the Powder Wine House knew this was a chance—something seemed off between those six, no, seven snipers.

Silhouettes darted out. This scene has happened more than once in recent days. Unfortunately, no one has succeeded in taking Roger’s Gun so far. Even if someone snatched Roger’s Gun, they’d be slain on the spot. Roger’s Gun is a key item in the hidden task and will drop upon death.

A sizzle echoed as arcs sparked through the air.

"It’s Lan Zuo, stop that guy."

Electric arcs charged into the Powder Wine House, gathering light, as a white-haired man appeared.

The white-haired man’s expression was stern, as he surveyed the situation inside the Powder Wine House. A moment later, his pupils contracted, mouth slightly agape.

Just as the white-haired man rushed into the wine house, a masked figure also dashed in. This figure was dressed in black, glossy, form-fitting attire, with a shapely build.

"Lan Zuo, how did you manage that?"

The masked woman looked at Lan Zuo with surprise.

"..."

White-haired Lan Zuo felt something was off.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Dozens of figures charged into the Powder Wine House. Seeing this spectacle, the masked woman pointed at Lan Zuo and said, "He was here first."

All eyes focused intently on Lan Zuo.

"I mean... if I say it wasn’t me, would you believe it?"

Lan Zuo’s mouth twitched, and from those dozens of murderous gazes, he seemed to see the words ’not believe’."

"That troublemaker sniper, I ****."

Lan Zuo was no fool—he immediately knew who took Roger’s Gun.

Did Su Xiao just get Roger’s Gun like that? Certainly not—first, he must withstand the pursuit of dozens of Lone Wolves.
