Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"It will take a little more time."

Someone nodded: "Let's put that aside for now. The summer storm is coming soon, so we need to make sure all the arrangements are clear. Let's check all the data first."

"Let's start with Trading Post No. 3."

"Wait, where are the Heloises?"

"The people who went back to the cage have something to talk to her about, just ignore her, she's not in charge of that anyway."

"Alright, Dawn."

……

It is more than 200 kilometers from Lunga town to Trading Post No. 1.

The first part was a small road, but after turning onto the highway, I was able to drive safely and happily in the heavy rain.

This is the vehicle heading to Trading Station No. 1.

Therefore, there are almost no vehicles on the road, so you can speed as fast as you want.

After an hour and a half, I finally arrived at my destination safely.

"so big!"

Ella leaned against the window, staring in amazement at the enormous building outside.

Before, Anran had only seen the outline of the trading post on paper, but after getting close to it, she realized how enormous this trading post, built with alien technology, was.

"It's so big!"

Even when viewed from the edge of the defensive line, the towers in the hovering area still appear thick and large.

It seemed as if it was about to pierce the sky.

An Ran also saw a small black mass, resembling a spaceship!

It stopped on the cantilever extending from the tower.

The section from the defensive line to the rest area is open to visitors, but the hovering area is off-limits to anyone except authorized personnel.

"Let's go in and take a look." An Ran stepped on the gas and slowly drove in.

I took Ella for a walk around Trading Post 1.

After memorizing the surrounding terrain, I returned safely.

The road back was still clear. After driving for about half an hour, Anran suddenly slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a stop.

"It's alright, the rain has stopped!"

Where Ella was pointing, the torrential rain stopped just before it reached the ground.

It is about half a meter wide.

Although it lasted only a short time, An Ran's sharp eyes still caught the scene.

This matter is certainly not simple.

The rain outside quickly stopped, but An Ran had already received a game notification in her mind.

"Forced emergency mission [Assassination] triggered."

An unavoidable task, but the game's hints made An Ran realize that the situation was indeed as she had thought.

This quest system is sometimes a godsend, giving her a significant advantage when facing other NPCs.

"brush--"

Another gust of wind blew by, and then Anran noticed a figure in front of the car.

"Boom!"

At such close range, the car window was rolled down, and Anran pulled out the spray gun and pressed the trigger twice.

But then something surprising happened: four explosive bullets pierced through the figure and disappeared into the thick rain.

"A phantom image?"

Oops.

An Ran quickly lay down and raised a piece of ligne alloy. Even with such a quick reaction, her arm was still grazed by a bullet.

"Snapped!"

The other car window was shattered like a spider web. Ella, who was bending over, was not injured. She pressed her hand on Anran's shoulder and said anxiously, "Anran, Anran, you're bleeding! Are you alright!"

"I'm fine, Ella, you be careful too."

Her low-level talent, Resilience, increases her recovery ability by 30%, and combined with her current 65 points of Stamina, this minor electric abrasion will heal quickly. Like that ironic joke goes, the wound heals on the way to the hospital.

But if An Ran hadn't dodged quickly enough, the shot would have hit her head. If such a large-caliber bullet had hit her weak point and critically struck, she would have immediately become weak with her current health.

big crisis.

An Ran has no idea how many people are outside. There's also a strange phantom in front of the car, and soon this car, which is acting as a shield, will become a cage.

We have to get out.

An Ran pulled a rifle from the back seat and handed it to Ella: "Ella, I'm going to open the car door and jump out. It's up to you to find the person who fired the shot."

"Leave it to me, Anran!"

Ella, holding the gun, spoke with a serious expression.

She dared to hurt An Ran; she certainly wouldn't be lenient with her.

Since the enemy hasn't shown themselves yet, the two robots in the back are really just lumps of metal.

He opened the car door, pushed it out forcefully, and Anran instantly darted into the rain.

"boom!"

Several bullets followed, piercing the puddles An Ran had stepped into. Ella, who was lying prone in the car, accurately located the shooter and quickly pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

"Whoosh-"

The sound of an explosion.

An Ran's expression changed. Just now, she clearly saw that the rain curtain at her heels had been cut off again, but this time the area was much smaller than before, only as thick as an arm.

"Bang bang bang!"

In the rain, the SUV was hit by a horrific accident; the windows were shattered. An Ran didn't stop for a moment; she rushed quickly toward where the bullets had come from.

"boom!"

An Ran paused for a moment.

The sound came from behind her. She quickly turned around and found that the shadowy figure had already walked up to the SUV, and Ella had rolled off the vehicle.

It really rolled down, and the driver's seat of the SUV was split in two.

What the hell!

"boom!"

"Well!"

A -132 bullet appeared above my head, and I knew I'd been shot, thankfully not in any vital areas.

Can that phantom attack with a physical form?

An Ran fired a few more shots, but it was still no use; the bullets still passed right through her body.

She saw a sword appear in the phantom's hand and slash at Ella on the ground, causing the rain curtain to break.

"Sword energy?" The word suddenly flashed through An Ran's mind, and she couldn't think of anything else for the time being.

But why can a phantom without a physical form unleash sword energy?

Is this Teemo some kind of projection clone from a fantasy novel?

Reconnaissance techniques revealed that it was indeed just a phantom.

Ella rolled to dodge the "sword energy" attack, but her rifle was chopped off. She tried to pick it up, but the bullets in the distance changed their target and aimed directly at Ella's chest.

"..."

This time, the steamed bun slices are really outsmarting the air.

This phantom can attack them, but their attacks are completely ineffective against it. It seems that the only solution is to eliminate the person controlling the phantom.

With that thought in mind, An Ran turned around and rushed straight towards the location of the shooter.

"Bang! Bang!" Ella was shot in the hand.

But she still picked up the rifle, and the "sword energy" struck again, instantly tearing Ella's clothes apart. Ella's disadvantage in speed became apparent at this moment. If it were An Ran, she could have easily avoided it while maintaining a certain distance, but Ella couldn't. Her strength attribute was useless against thin air, and she could only stare helplessly at the afterimage.

"I'm furious!"

Ella stomped her foot in frustration, and while dodging, she was also shot in the leg.

"Bang! Bang!" An Ran fired two shots into the open field.

She was like a cheetah moving through the rain; as she stepped over a clump of grass, the hidden enemy finally revealed its true form.

There was only one person!

wow-

The dark-skinned man grabbed an umbrella from the ground, slid aside, and left the rifle in the rain.

"whispering sound--"

He glared at An Ran and spat in annoyance. Although he dodged an attack, a shrapnel that exploded in the distance still grazed his cheek.

"Are you from Morning Star?" An Ran asked.

She didn't stop moving; the wide-range spray gun effectively restricted the enemy's movement.

"Don't you care about your sister at all? Or do you believe in her strength so much that you can disregard her safety?" The man with the umbrella chuckled. He occasionally had a few small wounds on his body, but they didn't affect the overall situation at all.

With damage values ​​in the teens, An Ran felt that even if she missed all her shots, she might not be able to reduce his health by even a tenth.

Against fast-moving individuals, the shortcomings of this type of firearm are simply too great.
