And Xiangzi...

When Miao Meng looked at Xiangzi, she found that Xiangzi was not looking at those Tiger Head thugs, nor was he looking at the gun.

What Xiangzi was watching were the refugees fleeing into the depths.

【Oblivionis: This is not right.】

Xiangzi suddenly said in the communication channel.

【Amoris: ...What's wrong? 】

【Oblivionis: The power of the gun. 】

Xiangzi looked at the fleeing refugees.

Especially the refugee who had just fallen down the stairs and was thrown back.

His leg prosthesis was broken. He ran away with a limp, and the heat from the strong light on half of his body caused white smoke to come out of the surface of his artificial skin.

but……

That's all.

【Oblivionis: That gun. It's too weak. 】

Xiangzi frowned slightly and said.

The refugee's leg parts were broken because of blows and falls, and had nothing to do with the gun.

If we must say that the gun caused damage, it was that the artificial skin started to smoke.

Light contains heat.

But the heat only caused the artificial skin to smoke instead of setting it on fire.

As a gun attack method, it is a bit too weak.

"(If we only consider the range and lethality, it is not even as good as the small flamethrower of 'Jinda'.)"

The small flamethrower can be found in the main urban area of the City of Music, but it is an affordable product that is the same price as the Sternmeyer Type 35 with a silencer.

bang.

Xiangzi watched as Tiger Head's thugs fired another shot.

Radiant.

...a little too much overflow.

"(It may have penetrated the window glass, or hit the ceiling by mistake...)"

It feels like the energy deviation is quite serious.

It is hard to imagine that this is a finished gun that has already been debugged.

Xiangzi thought of the day when they carried out the assault on BCPD. The believers team responsible for arresting the BCPD "attackers" said after the operation failed:

[The BCPD "Strike Force" officer triggered something in the bag. That thing emitted a strong white flash, causing the believers to retreat.]

"(The Believer team was not harmed either.)"

Even though the explosion was almost at body distance, he didn't suffer any damage...

【Doloris: Is this just a flashbang gun? 】

Chuhua expressed Xiangzi’s doubts.

[Amoris: Ah... now that you mention it, it's true. It feels a bit too weak, right?]

[Amoris: In the BCPD's communications, "secret weapon" and "secret weapon" are constantly being shouted.]

[Amoris: I thought it was something like [Linear Frame Ω] at first!]

[Amoris: Now it seems that this... how should I put it... is really a ray toy? The [Automatic Slaughter Machine] pistol that is sometimes given away when you buy bubble gum looks better than this! ]

Miao Meng thought so too.

[Doloris: It's hard to say. There are many times when weapons don't work well because they are used incorrectly or have not been properly debugged.]

Chu Hua, who has extensive experience in modifying firearms and using scrapped and semi-scrapped firearms, said.

[Amoris: If you say so, then I'd like to try it out. ]

【Oblivionis: Let's get closer. 】

[Amoris: Aha, you want to experience it yourself... Wait, you want to continue!? ]

【Oblivionis: Of course.】

[Oblivionis: The most appropriate way to evaluate is always to take it in hand for evaluation. ]

……

Buzz. Buzz.

In the shopping mall, light flashed from a close-range corner and kept flying.

The noise got louder.

Xiangzi, Chuhua and Miaomeng have already come down from the roof.

At this moment, they were hiding behind the corner of the mall passage, slightly away from the fighting area.

Looking at another beam of light bouncing off from the corner of the wall, Chu Hua's eye sockets flashed.

【Doloris: 1 lumens.】

[Oblivionis: It's not even as strong as a flashbang. ]

So it seems that it is not the glare effect?

[Doloris: That weapon feels more like a weird taser.]

[Amoris: You mean the non-lethal firearms that BCPD police officers sometimes use? Like the firecrackers at birthday parties, when you pull the trigger, "bang!", a bunch of confetti sprays out of the muzzle - and at the same time, there are charged darts, giving you a tingling "birthday party"...]

[Doloris: Do legitimate tasers have confetti? I didn’t know that. I’ve only used the high-powered version with the muzzle removed.]

[Amoris: ...Why does the topic sound like I used the normal version? Don't get me wrong, I'm a law-abiding citizen. I haven't been beaten by that...I just saw others being beaten.]

Xiangzi looked at the path conditions in the mall.

The [Tiger Head] thug holding a target gun stood in the middle of the first floor patio. His fellow thugs were scattered around on the first and second floors near him.

There was no cover where everyone stood.

【Oblivionis: We need a cover. 】

As Xiangzi said this, he turned around and looked behind him.

Her eyes moved from left to right and from right to left several times.

Finally, it stopped on Miao Meng.

"..."

At first, Miao Meng didn't care much.

But when Xiangzi's gaze stayed on her, she began to panic.

"Hey... Hey, don't look at me like that." Miao Meng lowered her voice and said tremblingly, "I am a valuable hacker in the team! I have contributed, I have shed blood... You can't do this..."

She tried to dodge.

Then she realized that Xiangzi was not looking at her.

Xiangzi was looking behind Miao Meng.

Miao Meng turned her head.

She saw the storefront she was leaning against.

Now that [Phase 2 of Reclamation Land] has been completely shut down, no merchants have moved into the store.

At present, there are large curtains with the words "Recruiting Merchants" hanging in front of the shops.

Chapter 403 CS Hide and Seek

Comprehensive shopping mall.

The second floor.

The [Tiger Head] thugs armed with [Rostovich DB-2 Satara shotguns] stood at a distance in the corridor near the atrium.

They are responsible for monitoring the entrances and exits of shopping malls, waiting for new prey to arrive and preventing old prey from escaping.

To be honest, they are not doing a very good job of monitoring this.

They didn't have much patience and were more focused on searching for refugees around them, digging them out and fighting them.

When there was no fighting, he was more focused on the thugs using the flash gun below rather than the entrances and exits.

"It's almost my turn now!"

The surveillance thugs above were shouting at the top of their lungs, but their voices were drowned out by the noisy surroundings.

"Fuck, how long has it been? Wait a little longer!"

The thugs holding guns naturally had no intention of handing over their guns.

"XXXX... Wait any longer, my liquid nitrogen will polymerize XXX..."

If you don't specifically turn off the swear word blocking, more than half of the content here is muted.

The thugs went around the top and made another circle.

He walked between the shops.

……Um?

He remembered that there was a narrow alley and a large trash can between the two shops.

However, now, there is a large curtain with the words "Recruiting Merchants" hanging there, just like the two sides on the left and right.

Was that originally a shop?

misremembered?

Memory errors usually result from abnormal working conditions of the brain.

"I went to XXX... The old man in the [Small Central Area] sold me another memory stick from [Insect Swarm] that was not cleaned properly... How many teeth were burned this time? I'll pull out his toes when I get back... and stuff them in his mouth..."

The thugs approached, cursing.

Then the curtain moved.

"!?"

A hand stretched out from behind the curtain and grabbed the thug behind it.

There were dull sounds of fighting and struggling coming from behind the curtain.

Soon, all this movement was over.

bang.

The metal cover hit the trash can with a dull sound.

In the noisy environment of the battle below, this sound did not attract the attention of other thugs at all.

rustle……

The large curtain with the words [Investment Open] moved.

It slowly moved away, revealing the narrow passage and large trash can behind.
