Chapter 871: Chapter 871
After passing through a corridor dozens of meters long, Bai Guo entered the lower deck and arrived at the hangar, which was a vast space filled with temporarily unused fighter aircraft and helicopters, along with various trailers. Despite the wide assortment of vehicles, Bai Guo was disappointed not to find any missiles on the racks of the airplanes; it meant she couldn’t use them to attack the Power Armor.
"Go find the armory," Bai Guo tried to steady her breathing as she locked onto her next target. But before she could leave the hangar, Yannick, armed with Hellfire, burst in and opened fire on her silhouette with full firepower in a volley.
Under the dense gunfire, countless bullets chased after Bai Guo like a deadly dragon, hitting the floor and trailers, sparking many flames that then scattered unpredictably.
Ratatatat, a string of bullets swept across several fighter aircraft, leaving several bullet holes in their metal skins. Then came the rocket shells, and with the booms of consecutive explosions, the planes were blasted up against the ceiling.
In the midst of thick flames, various metal parts were flung around, clattering on the floor as if it were hailing steel hail.
With a bang, half of a plane’s nosecone smashed to the ground next to Bai Guo. The flying debris cut through her cheek, and a trace of fresh blood emerged. Ignoring her injury, she used the fighter aircraft as a shelter from the volley while sprinting towards the eastern corridor entrance. If she could just make it there, Hellfire’s maneuverability would be limited.
Bai Guo was reluctant to waste Tang Zheng’s explosives. Besides, with the large space of the hangar, she guessed Yannick wouldn’t chase after her directly but would rather try to intercept her—so she didn’t set any bomb traps.
"Stupid woman, do you think you can escape?" Yannick raised his arms, continuously bombarding the area with Impact Beams. Watching the whole hangar tremble and burn into a sea of fire under his assault, he laughed wildly.
The data flashing on the radar screen in front of Yannick clearly showed Bai Guo’s figure. Seeing her rush behind another fighter aircraft, Yannick let out a disdainful snort. His chest energy cannon gathered power, then a thick Light Beam cut through like a military knife. Everything it touched melted away, and the fighter aircraft was sliced in half, resulting in explosions everywhere.
Just when Yannick thought Bai Guo would be blown to pieces, a four-meter-tall Scavenger suddenly leaped out from the flames, wielding twin 30mm caliber machine guns, unleashing a torrent of firepower at him.
All the practice Bai Guo had done paid off at this moment. Even though both were moving at high speeds, seventy percent of the bullets still hit the Power Armor’s head, creating countless sparks.
The continuous hits, carrying massive kinetic energy, made even Yannick, armed with Hellfire, recoil backwards and lose his balance, tumbling to the ground.
"Aim for the head, the radar and scanning systems are all there, destroy his display screen as quickly as possible." Bai Guo remembered Tang Zheng’s hints as she fired at Yannick and dodged the Impact Beams.
Bullets struck the head, and the screen in front of Yannick shook wildly; data was constantly refreshing, causing his judgment to falter, forcing him to shut down some unnecessary functions.
"Damn it, damn it!" Yannick was furious, cursing non-stop. His shooting became faster, but Bai Guo, agile as a migratory fish, narrowly dodged each time.
The Scavenger’s mobility was what Bai Guo relied on for her counterattack, but the crude metal was barely holding up against such intense maneuvers. A minute later, a lousy shock absorption system caused Bai Guo’s hit rate to plummet. If Pang Meiqin were in her place, maybe all shots would have missed; what was worse, the mechanical joints were almost breaking apart. Before that happened, Bai Guo was hit.
The Impact Beam struck the Scavenger’s left leg, shattering it, and it crashed outwards like a lump of scrap. Yannick wouldn’t miss this opportunity, he continued to shoot Light Beams in succession, completely blowing up the Scavenger.
Decisively abandoning the machine, Bai Guo jumped out before the second beam arrived, but was still affected by the blast wave, rolling outwards.
A string of bullets immediately followed her.
Bai Guo, like a nimble cat, suddenly stopped rolling, leapt up, and dashed into the passageway, successfully hiding inside.
But Bai Guo had also been injured; her face was scorched, her black hair singed by the high heat. If she hadn’t been wearing an S-grade Armor, she would have been killed by the shock wave.
"Damn, that busty bitch is so lucky, she got away again." Yannick was immensely frustrated and could only chase after her. He didn’t realize that Bai Guo, though constantly dodging, had always stayed within range of several doorways.
Just as Yannick flew into the passageway, he stepped on a Landmine, setting off a burst of steel balls, then walked another ten meters and got hit again.
Yannick was infuriated. Two minutes later, wearing Hellfire was still a matter of Spending Points, and it cost twice as much as Tang Zheng’s Limited Edition; how could he not feel the pinch? So he wanted to get rid of Bai Guo quickly by powering through the explosions with his defenses.
As a result, the narrow corridor was continuously rocked by explosions, with waves of shock and flames erupting.
"Let’s see where you can run to this time!" As soon as he saw Bai Guo’s figure again, Yannick sneered viciously. But as soon as he charged out of the corridor, he encountered the most ferocious explosion yet in the fight.
Boom, flames spread through the passageway, as if the entire aircraft carrier had shaken.
Yannick clawed his way up from the ground, covered in dust and dismay. The screens in front of him flickered chaotically, and all kinds of scanners had failed.
"Damn it, you ugly woman, do you think I can’t find you without radar?"
At this moment, the two were circling in the living area of the aircraft carrier. Although Yannick spoke lightly, it was indeed difficult to find Bai Guo within the spider web-like structure of the carrier without the scanning system. What’s worse, he had to keep wearing Hellfire, constantly spending points, or else he’d be out of luck should an explosion occur.
"Bastard, come out and face me." Yannick was getting frustrated, never expecting this game of cat and mouse to last so long.
"Five minutes have passed, and you haven’t found me. It must be broken, right?" Hiding in a restroom, Bai Guo used her wristwatch to compare with the aircraft carrier’s structural map, regaining strength as she did. Seeing that Yannick hadn’t caught up with her yet, she felt that the first step of her tactics had been completed.
"Can’t care about that now, I have to try." Bai Guo knew it was easy to find Yannick. There was no helping it; the star team’s second-in-command was constantly yelling, creating all sorts of noise.
Yannick was caught between a rock and a hard place. As a figure of strong status, he had to pursue Bai Guo. Otherwise, the situation would remain at a stalemate. He couldn’t bear the shame, and in the event of a draw, both parties would be eliminated.
"They wouldn’t consider exchanging the life of that trashy woman for mine, would they?" As a Conqueror, Yannick naturally considered many things. But the more he thought, the more concerns he had, which made him more irritable.
In his view, this was entirely an unequal exchange. If successful, those Chinese would definitely make a profit. Judging others by himself, coupled with the brutal experiences in the game, Yannick didn’t think Tang Zheng and his team were kind at all. The rightful source is novel•fire.net
"Damn it, this duel doesn’t have a time limit, does it? Knowing Blue Trojan’s malicious nature, it would never let a duel go on endlessly. They won’t decide it as a draw, will they?" Suddenly realizing this possibility, Yannick’s forehead was instantly covered with sweat beads, and his entire back was almost soaked.
"You wretched woman, show yourself." Yannick roared furiously, agitated, and began to recklessly destroy the aircraft carrier’s interior.
That’s how people are: no matter how confident, when faced with setbacks and problems, their thoughts would involuntarily turn pessimistic. He could adjust, but Bai Guo was always trying to agitate him. Of course, the infuriating Trojan was also one of the causes of Yannick’s chaos.
Bai Guo moved invisibly, reaching a spot about ten meters behind Yannick. Seeing that he hadn’t noticed her yet, she breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a mechanical metal ball, and quietly moved in, placing it on him.
As soon as the metal ball touched Yannick’s body, it instantly became a metal centipede the length of a forefinger, wriggling its many legs and burrowing into his Power Armor.
This was an S-grade artifact, with no inherent attack or defense power. However, once it entered the target’s body, any type of defense and immunity would be broken. The more the quantity, the faster the effect, but unfortunately, Bai Guo only had one, which Qin Yan had obtained from Pang Meiqin and given to her for self-defense.
Yannick kept bombarding the surroundings, the noise effectively masking Bai Guo’s footsteps. Moreover, he couldn’t imagine that the girl’s ability was invisibility. However, because Bai Guo got too close for the centipede’s deployment, she was discovered.
Bang, Yannick tried swinging his arm in a circle, and Bai Guo was immediately hit in the chest, tumbling out heavily. He followed up with a light beam, hitting her again.
"Wrong, this isn’t B-Class!" Seeing that Bai Guo didn’t even spit blood, Yannick knew that the girl’s Armor must be S-grade.
Bai Guo fled, getting hit by another light beam and a dozen bullets in the back, and crashed into the passageway.
"Damn it, why can she escape so quickly?" Yannick chased after her, only to find she had vanished. "Huh, is this girl’s ability invisibility? She must have been trying to sneak attack me, and I spotted her early."
Yannick felt it was troublesome. If he had been more careful and not damaged the Radar, things would have been much better. However, he still didn’t think he would lose, it would just cost some more time.
"Hmph, are you trying to lead me to the power room or the Armory? Right, leading me to the fuel store would work too. One big explosion and my Hellfire will definitely get damaged, but do you think I’d let you have your way?" Yannick calmed down, stopped attacking blindly, and began verbally provoking Bai Guo. As a Conqueror, he had some deductive ability.
Hellfire might be rated as SS level, but that’s for overall strength. In terms of defense, it’s only of an S-grade standard. When bombarded beyond its tolerance, it will be destroyed as well.
However, Yannick wasn’t worried. He had a Grade S Firefly and a Grade S Light Defense Shield on him. Bai Guo, with only Level A weapons, wouldn’t dream of breaking his defense. (To be continued.
