Poverty makes me capable of anything.

At the entrance of the repair shop.

Upon hearing Ella's words, Anran immediately took action.

The enemy only has one route to attack, and he wants to launch a surprise attack from the side, so I might as well give him a surprise.

An Ran quickly ran to the corner, next to a huge trash can, and quietly crouched behind it.

He pulled his hat down, gripped a gun in his right hand, rested his left hand on the hilt of an alloy dagger on his thigh, and a smile played on his lips.

Hey hey hey.

The height of the trash can was perfectly matched to An Ran's height. Even when she squatted down and stood on the other side of the trash can, it was difficult to see An Ran.

Her petite stature proved to be an advantage at this moment.

Da da da……

Amidst the distant sounds of gunfire, An Ran suddenly heard footsteps.

She held her breath.

Stowe's reaction was quick enough, but still not fast enough.

The second companion he sent out failed to catch up with the first one.

"clatter--"

A foot suddenly appeared in front of An Ran.

Then came the second foot.

coming.

Just as the front foot was halfway up, An Ran suddenly sprang up.

She drew her sword with lightning speed in her left hand, unleashing a righteous backstab that dealt +10% damage. The moment she stood up, the blade pierced her target's heart from behind.

An Ran even tried to reach out and cover the target's mouth to prevent her from making a sound, but then realized that this was a bit troublesome, as she would need to raise her hand high. She immediately gave up on this unrealistic idea, since the target didn't make any extra noise anyway.

"Damage assessment successful, you have inflicted a fatal wound on the target!"

-428!

A red number floated above the target's head.

"You have killed a Morning Star Rebel fighter and gained 500 experience points."

Anran slowly released her grip, piling the target's body against the wall.

【Night of the Stars】has a bloody and censored setting, but that is for players, and players can set the level according to their own tolerance. There is no such function for NPCs.

Therefore, when the knife was pulled out, An Ran inevitably got some blood on her body.

Sometimes it's more convenient to use a knife than a gun because it doesn't make a sound, and Anran's pistol doesn't have a silencer.

Having dealt with the troublesome maneuvering opponent, Anran decided to retaliate in kind.

She moved with agile steps and quickly darted towards the alley behind the workshop.

Just as she rounded the second corner, An Ran froze for a moment.

Love at first sight...

She encountered the second person who had followed Stowe's orders.

The two attacked simultaneously.

Raise the gun, aim, and fire.

Raise a gun, kick someone, fire blindly.

Anran was the one who took the second set of actions.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The two gunshots merged into one, and An Ran let out a muffled groan, immediately clutching her arm.

Her sudden kick caused the other person's shot to go slightly off course; the bullet grazed her arm, causing a burning pain.

This shot cost Anran 17 health points.

Health points became 103/120.

"boom!"

An Ran fired another shot at the target lying on the ground.

The "corpse" immediately displayed a damage value of -246 above its head; the bullet had penetrated its chest cavity, indicating a serious injury.

"You have killed a Morning Star Rebel fighter and gained 480 experience points."

An Ran snorted coldly and stepped directly over the corpse.

Pretending to be dead in front of Andrew, who has a game panel, is just too naive.

If you kill too many people at the same time, there might be some who escape, but now you're all alone, it's really too tragic!

……

When Stowe heard the gunshot in the workshop, his heart sank.

He heard the gunshots coming from near the back door.

This suggests that the two people he sent out are very likely dead.

Thinking of this, Stowe subconsciously tightened his grip on Ella's shoulder, while simultaneously pointing his gun at the back door.

"?"

Ella raised her head and looked at Stowe with some dissatisfaction.

Chapter 28 I think you might have misunderstood something

The darkness of the unknown brings endless fear.

The unknown is what makes it most terrifying.

……

Despite having wiped out two Morning Star rebels, Anran did not become arrogant.

Although she felt that she was indeed quite strong now.

Holding a stick in her right hand, she lifted a piece of white cloth and suddenly stretched the cloth out.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three bullets came in quick succession, piercing through the white cloth and leaving three bullet marks on the wall behind it.

An Ran threw the stick away, indicating that the people inside were in a complete panic.

The more panicked the enemy became, the more secure she felt.

Anran was actually quite puzzled, as the Morning Star Resistance didn't have many members.

Even without any profession, level 16 Ella can take down a "Morning Star Monster" with a single punch using pure attribute power.

But why is it still in a situation where we are being held hostage?

But let's put all that aside for now and get rid of the people inside first.

"I've taken care of the people behind me, you can start your operation now."

An Ran pretended to be talking to her "teammate" on the phone, speaking in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the people in the workshop to hear.

This tactic worked.

You can't blame Stowe for this; he's all alone now, and even though he has "hostages" in his hands, he's still very panicked.

He's a man destined to be a captain, how could he possibly die so easily in this wretched place!

A bright future awaits him!

Stowe gripped the gun handle with his right hand, and the force he used was so great that it even began to tremble.

Colin lowered his eyes slightly, and Ai stretched out his hand to look at the lines on his palm.

Stowe began to slow his breathing, and he led Ella back two steps to the corner of the room.

Standing here, you can take in the view of both doors.

"Bang-"

The sudden sound startled Stowe. He quickly aimed his gun at the source of the sound and discovered a small cylinder rolling on the smooth ground, with Colin sitting nearby.

"you--"

The more panicked a person is, the more easily their emotions become irritable.

Stoker immediately wanted to shoot Colin again, since he already had a hostage and the man with the broken leg was useless.

Stowe's index finger was on the trigger, and as soon as he pulled, a shadow flashed in his field of vision.

A sense of foreboding washed over him, and Stowe quickly aimed his gun at the shadows, swaying slightly, but he was still a step too slow.

"boom!"

"-57!"

Stowe groaned as he was shot in the chest. Suddenly, his left arm tightened around Ella's neck, and he pointed the gun at her head with his right hand, shouting, "Stop! If you dare to make another move, I'll shoot her dead!"

The one who suddenly appeared at the door and opened fire was An Ran.

Hearing Stowe's words, An Ran paused for a moment, but the sights of her pistol remained aimed at Stowe's forehead.

Taking advantage of the break, she roughly surveyed the situation in the room.

If there's only one enemy, then we're safe.

Stowe was shot in the chest, and his breathing became rapid. His clothes were quickly stained with blood. Fortunately, he had dodged the bullet, or he would have been killed instantly.

His finger was on the trigger, ready to be pulled at any moment.

Stowe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the figure "frozen".
