Chapter 249 - Last bullet second half (2/2)

The elemental oscillation just now had consumed his last bit of energy, and there was only one bullet left in his handgun.

No matter how he looked at it, this bullet was for him.

With a wry smile, he raised the pistol and moved it toward his forehead. Rankin muttered: ”Suicide...”

Suddenly, his eyes became fierce.

”Kill you!”

As he cursed, Rankin turned the muzzle of the gun toward Gunnar's chest. He was about to press the trigger to show his unyielding nature. However, his entire body suddenly trembled. A vine had appeared out of nowhere and pierced through the back of his head, directly piercing through the center of his forehead.

The vine retracted, and the corpse that had lost its support immediately fell to the ground. The vine entered the metal floor, finally reappearing at Gunnar's feet and retracting back into his body.

Gunnar dropped to the ground, pulling the hundreds of vines that were supporting his body into his clothes. He looked coldly at Rankin's body, then turned and walked away.

When the skinny man disappeared into the entrance to the third floor of the base, the area became quiet again. Regardless of whether it was the killing intent released by Gunnar or the last elemental oscillation that Rankin had used, they were both warnings to the nearby corpses that were roaming about, engaging in an inhuman battle. But not long after, footsteps once again broke the silence of the base.

Anthony and his party came to the place where the Blasters had been massacred by Gunabel.

Even though they were competitors, seeing that the five of them, including Rankin, had been completely annihilated, everyone couldn't help but sigh. At Anthony's behest, they collected the bodies of the Blasters and piled them together.

Anthony personally walked in front of Rankin's corpse. For some reason, the vicious captain sighed lightly and picked up Rankin's handgun. There was a bullet in the pistol that Rankin hadn't had time to fire. Anthony gently removed the bullet and placed the pistol on Rankin's body.

”Captain?” Lucca looked at Anthony and asked, ”What should we do?”

”It's cremated.” Anthony whispered, ”Although Rankin was a fool, in the end he died like a man. He should have received the least amount of respect, and not become the food of the living corpses after death. ”So, cremate them.”

Anthony looked up at Lucca and said, ”Legend has it that a true warrior can be brought to heaven. I hope that Rankin and the rest will be reborn in the fire! ”

With that, Anthony turned and left. Looking at the background of this captain, Lucca felt as if he had undergone some subtle change because of Langken 's death.

He didn't sit around either, taking a piece of solid fuel that had been used in the march. Luca crushed it and sprinkled it over the bodies of the Blasters. Then he looked at Olam, who nodded and took out a lighter.

Olam's thumb brushed the pulley, and the spark from the flint fell into the liquid. Immediately a flame rose from the lighter. With a solemn expression, Olam tossed the lighter gently onto the pile of corpses.

In the darkness, the lighter spun around, leaving a circle of light in the air. When it landed on the corpse, it instantly ignited the fixed fuel. With a boom, an azure and white flame suddenly soared.

The high temperature released by the flaming light made the nearby people's hair stand on end, but no one was willing to leave. They watched as the bodies of Rankin and the rest of the team melted under the thousand degrees of heat released by the solid combustion. Indeed, not only Anthony, but the rest of the team, including Luca, thought Rankin was not very smart. Although this man had an uncle who supported him, Rankin's talent was limited. His potential and achievements could almost be predicted.

However, this man, who had been branded as a fool and a boor, had exploded with a tremendous amount of courage in the final moments of his life. Rankin died, but left as a brave man unafraid of his enemies. Thus, he received the respect he deserved.

Looking at the corpse in the flames, everyone hoped that it would also be their home. As for the warriors of Asgard, rather than letting them die in silence, they would rather die fighting gloriously!

As the flames died out, Anthony's voice interrupted their thoughts.

”Let's go. Rankin can stop here, but we can't!”

Anthony was the first to walk in the direction of the entrance to the third floor, while the others, after bowing to the dead man in the fire, followed Anthony and left. Lucca quickly walked to the captain's side and asked, ”What should we do next?”

”Of course it's to work hard to complete the mission!” The corners of Anthony's lips curled up in a smile, ”You should have heard it as well. That man is looking for trouble. In that case, the situation would be beneficial to us.”

”But that person killed Rankin and the others. I believe that he is a common enemy!” Luca emphasized.

Anthony stopped and said coldly, ”The enemy of the enemy is our friend, or do you think Zero is our friend?”

Luca shut his mouth, knowing better, and Antony walked on without looking at his best friend. Looking at this figure, Lucca shook his head.

So it was just an illusion. Lucca said softly in his heart.
