Chapter 131 Bloodshed (2/2)
The ambushing players all had nervous yet excited faces. It was the first battle for many of them.
Jade Green Sky brought Sky Territory's members to camouflage themselves in the forest. It was a must for him to attain one of the top three prizes from the Prize-Pool Mission. He thought to himself, My biggest rival should be Kill-all. First place is bound to be either of us.
On the other hand, SliceYouUp was still extremely troubled by Han Xiao's extreme drop in reputation, but the quest still had to be done. He took a look at his dejected guild members. ”Don't think too much. Just finish this quest first. We cannot let Sky Territory's members get ahead of us.”
The passing time was like a sharp knife, killing any warmth in the atmosphere.
Han Xiao took out the report he had gotten from the Dark Net. He took one final look. There were two combat executives in the evacuating troops, Freire and Seiberre. The two of them had once been part of the same elite army squad, each over LV 30, but they were of no threat to him.
Woo woo—
The sound of the engine came from far away. The sniper rifle's electromagnetic scanner showed the Germinal Organization's troops on its radar.
Han Xiao reoriented his vision, becoming extremely alert.
Maple Moon followed Han Xiao's every word and action, sprawling on the ground with the sniper rifle. Suddenly, Han Xiao seemed to have disappeared. He was clearly right in front of her; how could he have vanished from her vision? This made her very uncomfortable.

There was the Little Li Flying Dagger in the past. Today there is my deathly blow. Haha, this sounds so good!
This shot was specially prepared for the executives. Han Xiao held his breath and aimed steadily like a patient hunter awaiting his prey.
The Germinal Organization's evacuating troops entered the trap and were almost immediately caught off-guard by the many animal traps set up. But they were also puzzled by the animal traps. Was this really a trap?
If this was not a trap, how fierce was the beast in the area to require so many animal traps? And if this was a trap, who would be stupid enough to use animal traps to deal with an armed force? It was so obvious as well.
Freire, the conductor, felt something was amiss. He said in the intercom, ”Be careful, there is a possibility of an ambush. Deploy minesweepers.”
The troops slowed their advancement. Carrying the metal detectors, the minesweepers overtook them.
The Germinal Organization had been shifting their bases in massive operations, and many troops had been intercepted. Their enemies were not just from the Six Nations. There were other enemies looking for revenge taking advantage of their current situation. When Germinal was still strong, these enemies did not dare make any move. But now that they were met with such a good opportunity for revenge, they all got excited.
Freire and Seiberre had been caught in an ambush during their journey, and they had all raised their alertness greatly since.
Beep beep beep.
The metal detectors flashed in red, indicating that there were mines underground. At the same time, the scouts also found traces of human activity.
Freire's expression darkened. ”Enemy ambush ahead!”
Just as the Germinal troops were sweeping the field for mines, the players who were hiding in the bushes spotted their enemy as well. The heavily armed Germinal soldiers and armored vehicles looked formidable. The players dared not anger them.
But at the slightest thought of the huge reward-pool, the players were unable to resist. Some jumped out of the bushes immediately, firing their pistols from afar.
The Germinal soldiers habitually wanted to sprawl down and hide, but they realized that the enemies' bullets were almost going into outer-space. Their aim was just so bad.
”Counterattack!”
The Germinal troops returned fire without hesitation. The submachine guns fired away, the armored vehicles' machine guns roared, and some heavy firepower guns could be heard, too.
The fierce artillery instantly tore the players running toward them into pieces.
