Chapter 56 The Floran Colony 11 (2/2)

”Yes.” A1 used his long fingers to relaxedly caress his beard. ”They are inside, but that's not the problem. I prefer this way. They are caged in our stronghold.”

”They might have more EMP Grenades.”

”It's okay, I already set up the defense system against Electromagnetic Pulse. I didn't left it activated 24 hours since it consume way too much Core Fragments, but now that it's on, any EMP won't have effect in this Outpost's surrounding.”

”Good...”

The captain looked at the duel happening below him, Lenny versus Oscar.

Lenny was dual wielding some Wild West looking revolvers while Oscar was using a pump-action, Tier 3 Shotgun.

Both of them were wearing cowboy clothes and surprisingly they were able to juggle, and jump around with those tight clothes.

”Who do you think is going to win?” The captain asked the A1. He was more inexperienced in actual combats since he is more like a commander and thinker, not a fighter himself, so decided to ask the more veteran A1.

”Don't know...” A1 frowned when he looked at both of them. ”They haven't started giving their all, yet... Oh...?” He exclaimed when he saw Oscar's next movement. ”Oscar is starting to get serious now.”

...

*Bang*

Lenny sprang forward and ducked his head fast enough to dodge the close range shot that Oscar just fired.

While he was able to maintain his head intact, his hat wasn't that lucky, it was almost completely obliterated by the multiple pellets of the shotgun bullet.

Lenny took the chance that Oscar had to pump his weapon before he was able to fire again and swiftly ran toward him.

He lifted his revolver and aimed at Oscar's head. They were less than a meter away from each other, it was physically impossible for Oscar to avoid a bullet at such close range.

*Bang*

Lenny pressed the trigger. Smoke exploded off the revolver's muzzle and the bullet easily travelled toward Oscar's head.

*Pzzt*

Lenny's expression changed when he saw that the bullet had stopped mid air, centimeters away from Oscar's face.

Oscar sinisterly grinned and lifted his gun.

*Bang*

*Splat*

Lenny inclined to the side, but he wasn't fast enough. His left arm was completely obliterated by a close range shot from Oscar's shotgun.

Yellow plasma splattered everywhere. Lenny hastily retreated and hid himself behind a tree.

*Bang*

Oscar tried to fire again, but all he only hit the tree bark.

”Tch...” Oscar clicked his tongue, unsatisfied.

”Urgh...” Lenny clutched his what remained of his left arm.

He took a bandage from his PIPS and swiftly stopped his plasma leaking.
