Rebirth: Divine Machine-Making Master - Chapter 26
Chapter 26: The Killing Begins!
The person next to him was shot dead.
In an instant, everyone dropped to the ground.
Even the numbskull Ten did the same.
“Show me what kind of bullet is that. Is it a sniper rifle?” Two said in a low voice.
One experimental subject crawled to the dead body and took out a special prop. He did not feel disgusted to chop off his teammate’s head.
“Save the brain for me,” Ten said softly.
That teammate’s hand trembled. F*ck, something wrong must have gone wrong during Ten’s brainwashing process.
All of them were at most cold-blooded, but Ten was definitely perverted. On their way here, Ten had eaten a lot of raw food, including humans.
He carefully used a clip to take out the bullet shell, trying hard to not damage the brain.
“Boss, the bullet shell is heavier than a normal pistol, but I’m very sure that it is not from a sniper rifle.
“It should be a Desert Eagle series gun with a 200-yard range, that has a slightly higher recoil.”
After his teammate affirmed the result, Two thought for a while and said, “Zero thinks he’s smart.
“I think he’s forced into a dead corner by us.
“Look, this mountain is more than 3,000 feet high. Even with a sniper rifle, it would be difficult to reach an effective range.
“Zero clearly ran here to mislead us. The terrain here is dangerous. If someone is lying in ambush at the top of the mountain, they don’t need any special weapons. They only need dozens of grenades to blow up the boulders at the top of the mountain and that’s enough to send us all to Hell.
“Zero’s ultimate purpose of leading us here is to stop us from entering this valley.”
“Two, what are you talking about? My head is a little dizzy,” said Ten.
“Just now, Zero had already exposed his purpose. Seeing that we were hesitating, he killed one of us.
“But he had revealed his purpose. What does the bullet from the pistol mean?”
Everyone started to come around it.
However, Ten continued to ask foolishly with his mouth full of sticky stuff, “What does that mean?”
Two frowned and said, “Stay away from me. Don’t eat such disgusting stuff.”
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. This f*cking Ten was a pervert.
“Based on the brass bullet shell, we can determine that it’s from a pistol. A pistol with such a large shell has a range of fewer than 200 yards. This means that Zero is in the valley ahead.”
“He’s doing this to stop us from entering the valley. He’s trying to scare us. Don’t forget the fact that the terrain here is dangerous.
“Those who are not smart enough will be deceived by him.”
Everyone was enlightened.
Ten asked puzzledly, “Isn’t he complicating things by doing this?
“No matter what he does, isn’t there only one path ahead? If we want to catch him, we will just have to take this path.”
Everyone was speechless.
Two did not want to explain. He gestured for them to move forward and said, “Everyone, be careful. Zero is not on the cliff. He could be on our left, right, or even in front of us.”
“Spread out—”
Upon Two’s order, everyone fanned out and slowly walked towards the entrance of the valley.
The advantage of spreading out was, if Zero fired at them under normal circumstances, they would be able to tell his exact hiding spot.
“Bang!”
“Ah—”
One of the experimental subjects clutched his neck and gave a cry. Then he dropped dead with his eyes wide open.
Ten showed a pitiful expression, apparently thinking that he did not have the chance to eat this now.
But where was Elrond?
He was on the top of the cliff, observing Two’s actions.
Elrond looked down at them, as though he was watching a show from a theatre. He could catch Two off guard whenever he wanted.
He could even kill him.
But he did not want to.
What he wanted was to throw Two into despair.
Thinking of this, he raised the Golden Revolver in his hand and aimed at the leg of the team member next to Two.
“Bang!”
“Ah!”
The few of them had already entered the valley.
The sudden screams of the team members next to Two made him lost his cool.
“Zero, I know it’s you. You can’t hide from us. No matter what happens, you won’t be able to escape death today. Why don’t you come out and end this instead?”
At this moment, Elrond took out a walkie-talkie and said, “Let’s end this. I want to let you have a taste of what despair feels like.”
His voice came behind a boulder in the valley, just a few hundred yards in front of Two and the others.
He was overjoyed because he was certain that Elrond had exposed himself.
“Attack.”
He made a hand gesture, and everyone scattered, rushing towards the boulder.
Elrond was at the top of the cliff, aiming at one person after another.
“Bang.”
Someone’s arm broke.
“Bang.”
Another person’s leg was left with a bowl-sized gaping hole.
By this time, Two had already lost his ability to judge calmly.
Did a pistol had that much power?
In the beginning, Elrond carefully calculated the distance and direction of the wind before firing the revolver.
He knew that this golden bullet could kill Two’s team members without causing too much damage.
But after entering the valley, these people became living targets, so there was no need for him to hold back.
If Two’s troops were a little more meticulous, they would have found some clues.
Although Elrond’s voice came from the boulder, no matter how one listened, it did not sound like a normal voice. It sounded like a kind of coarse loudspeaker.
However, it was too late by the time Two noticed this fact and retreated.
Elrond had already set up a lot of explosives at the entrance of the valley. As long as Two retreated, he would not hesitate to blow up the big boulders at the entrance of the valley to block their escape path.
He would truly trap Two and the others, forcing them to sink into despair.
For evil people like them, killing them in one shot was too easy on them.
They were about to rush to the side of the big boulder.
Two had a ferocious look.
He could not understand where Zero’s bullets came from and why did he keep shooting?
In such a short period, close to 40 people were either killed or injured.
Right now, there were around 10 people left.
If they were ordinary people, fear would have enveloped them long ago. However, they were experimental subjects. Fear was one emotion that was removed during the brainwashing process.
Most of their emotions and feelings were also washed away.
“Hahaha, Zero, you’re dead today.”
Two suddenly jumped after he burst out laughing. He jumped to a distance around 20 feet away and 10 feet high, directly landing on top of the big boulder.
“Thud, thud, thud—”
The machine gun in his hand aimed at the bottom of the big boulder.
However, the gunshots suddenly stopped.
“Zero, die now. Your brain is mine!”
Ten held a strange long knife and slashed at the boulder.
The boulder let out a “boom” sound and was cut into half.
The dust dispersed, and everyone was dumbfounded.
There was no one behind the boulder. It was just a metal loudspeaker.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, one of the team members was shot. Half of his arm flew into the air.
“Ah!” The team member screamed. He looked at Two angrily and shouted, “F*ck, how did you lead us? So many of us died because of you. How is the power of this f*cking gun a normal pistol—”
“Bang!”
Two’s team member did not finish his cursing because his head was smashed to pieces by the hidden gun.
