The bullets struck the collapsed walls and rotten wood.
Instantly, bricks shattered and wood chips flew everywhere.
And long before he fired, Qin Ran had already rolled to the side, leaving his original position.
Qin Ran was grateful for Corinne's training; without the skill [Dodge], he would have been pinned behind that collapsed wall by the gunfire.
Bang, bang, bang!
The gunfire continued.
Clearly, Qin Ran's previous shot had made the other side as skittish as startled birds, wishing to shoot Qin Ran dead through the wall.
However, regardless of whether the [M1905] bullets could penetrate the concrete walls, even if they did, Qin Ran, who was no longer in his original position, would inevitably disappoint the other side.
Whew!
Leaning against the wall, Qin Ran took a deep breath, gripping the [M1905] in his hand, waiting for an opportunity.
The previous shot was not the opportunity Qin Ran needed.
In fact, if the other side had not noticed something was amiss, Qin Ran would have continued to use the combination of [Stealth (Basic)] and [Cold Weapon (Dagger) (Basic)] to eliminate the remaining targets, rather than firing a shot.
Just as Qin Ran had anticipated.
His marksmanship was not good!
Even at a distance of less than ten meters, he could not accurately hit the vital points of the target.
[Shooting: Caused 50 points of damage to the opponent, the opponent has armor, immune to 45 points of damage, actual damage caused 5 points...]
Looking at the combat log, Qin Ran could only shake his head.
If he had hit the opponent's head, which was not protected by a bulletproof vest, the opponent would have been dead by now.
Instead, the opponent still had two left!
However, Qin Ran's side also had two people!
Bang!
A sudden gunshot, mixed in with the continuous gunfire, was particularly jarring.
"Ah! My leg! My leg!"
The subsequent cries of the armed thug were incredibly clear.
Corinne!
Corinne, who had been hiding and observing the entire scene since the start of the battle, had taken action.
According to the plan Qin Ran and Corinne had devised, Qin Ran was the main attacker, and she would only act when Qin Ran was surrounded or suppressed by the other side's gunfire, creating an opportunity for Qin Ran to escape or counterattack.
Everything that had happened so far proved that Corinne had done a great job.
Without hesitation, Qin Ran raised the [M1905] in the shadows!
Bang, bang!
Two consecutive shots.
Although Corinne had created an opportunity, the results were not good.
The first shot still hit the area covered by the opponent's bulletproof vest, and the second shot missed completely.
"Damn it!"
Qin Ran cursed under his breath and moved quickly again.
Because he had already seen the armed thug he had aimed at, but missed with the second shot, raise his gun.
"Rookie! A rookie with a gun! Hahaha!"
'Hyena' Hook couldn't help but sneer.
At first, the silent deaths of his subordinates had really scared him, making him think he had encountered a formidable opponent, even causing him to panic.
Then, the sudden shot that wounded and knocked down his remaining subordinate made his panic even more intense.
Ultimately, it turned into despair!
'Hyena' Hook had already come to the conclusion that he was going to die.
So, when faced with another attack, 'Hyena' Hook stood there in a daze, waiting to die!
However, with the two shots from the person in front of him, 'Hyena' Hook put his mind at ease.
The person in front of him was not a formidable opponent, just a rookie!
At least, a rookie with a gun!
A person who, at a distance of less than ten meters, could miss a completely stationary target, was not a rookie, what else could they be?
As long as he was not approached, he could easily overpower the other side!
In short, if he used the other side as a breakthrough, he would not have to die!
As for the other shooter?
Looking at the subordinate hugging his injured leg, 'Hyena' Hook wisely did not choose him as an opponent. With a rookie as a breakthrough, it would be foolish not to choose.
'Hyena' Hook carefully avoided Corinne's shooting angle and shouted at the groaning subordinate, "Go, lure the guy in front out!"
As he spoke, he aimed his gun at the injured subordinate.
"Boss, you can't do this!"
The armed thug growled and raised his gun.
However, this made 'Hyena' Hook sneer.
"Do you still have bullets in your gun?"
Hook asked coldly.
The armed thug was taken aback.
The armed thug, who had been in a panic, had completely lost his composure after being attacked, firing without considering whether he had seen the target.
Therefore, he had not calculated his ammunition consumption.
Sweat dripped from the armed thug's forehead, but he did not intend to be a decoy.
"Boss, you don't have any bullets left either, right?"
The armed thug forced a smile.
"It seems you still don't understand why I am the boss and you are just a regular subordinate!"
Hook said, pulling out a full magazine from a pocket, "See? Every time I go out, 'Vulture' boss always gives me extra magazines... to deal with unexpected situations like this! Hurry up! Otherwise, I don't mind dealing with you myself!"
Hook impatiently raised his gun again.
The armed thug believed that if he did not go out, Hook would definitely shoot.
Hook's ruthlessness was well-known.
After hesitating, the armed thug finally chose to comply.
After all, if he went out, with the level of the shooter in front, he might not die, but staying here, he would definitely die!
After all, for Hook to become 'Vulture's right-hand man, his gun skills were no small matter.
With a deep breath, the armed thug crawled out of cover.
In the shadows, Qin Ran saw the scene and instantly understood the other side's plan.
The unguarded voice and the 'rookie' evaluation that the other side had blurted out, Qin Ran had heard clearly.
Qin Ran could easily imagine that when he raised his gun to shoot again, the intact armed thug would definitely rush out and shoot at him, the shooting rookie.
And he had only two choices.
First, dodge!
Second, engage in a direct confrontation!
If he chose the first option, the other side might escape!
And if he chose the second option?
Based on his previously displayed gun skills, he was certain to die!
However, Qin Ran still chose the second option.
If this were reality, Qin Ran would never choose the second option!
But this was in a game!
No matter how realistic the game was, it was still a game, and some settings would not change because of the game's realism!
For example: the 'benefits' given to players in the beginner dungeon!
In the beginner dungeon, as long as you effectively trigger it three times, you can obtain the corresponding skill!
Qin Ran had made this guess before.
And he was very confident!
And now, he had already made two effective attacks with firearms.
He only needed one more to obtain the corresponding skill!
At that time, in the gunfight with the other side, he would definitely win.
Qin Ran had such confidence!
Because, although the other side had shown familiarity with firearms, such familiarity could never reach the level of a game skill!
Otherwise, he would have been dead long ago from the other side's previous shots!
Whew!
Taking a deep breath, Qin Ran adjusted his state, raised the [M1905] in his hand, and squinted to aim at the crawling armed thug.
Bang!
The gun went off.
The bullet struck the other side's bulletproof vest, and the impact force made the crawling thug roll over.
Seeing this, 'Hyena' Hook stood up from behind cover, aiming his gun at Qin Ran standing in the shadows. Qin Ran did not dodge; he aimed the [M1905] at 'Hyena' Hook.
Seeing this, 'Hyena' Hook was almost ecstatic.
Everything was even simpler than he had imagined!
The other side was even more foolish than he had thought!
In 'Hyena' Hook's original plan, when the other side discovered him, they would definitely retreat to cover, but he did not expect the other side to actually engage in a direct confrontation!
"Clearly just a shooting rookie, yet daring to engage in a gunfight with me!"
'Hyena' Hook sneered.
Originally, 'Hyena' Hook only intended to escape, but he did not mind taking Qin Ran's life along the way.
After all, almost all of his subordinates were dead or injured, and without an explanation, he could not face 'Vulture' when he returned to the den.
Thinking of 'Vulture's harsh methods, 'Hyena' Hook shuddered involuntarily.
In fact, 'Hyena' Hook had already thought about escaping to another area after leaving, far from 'Vulture'!
With the firearms in his hands, even if he could not live as comfortably as in the den, he could still survive.
But who would have thought that Qin Ran would run into his gun sights.
"By taking out one of them, 'Vulture' boss, even if he is angry, will not blame me too much!"
Thinking of this, 'Hyena' Hook felt a surge of heat in his heart. If possible, he absolutely did not want to leave the den, that wonderful place.
"Die!"
'Hyena' Hook's finger was about to pull the trigger.
Bang!
But Qin Ran pulled the trigger first.
"The other side is just a shooting rookie!"
'Hyena' Hook was startled, but he quickly consoled himself.
Then, 'Hyena' Hook knew nothing more.
Because his head exploded like a watermelon, shattering into pieces.
