Chapter 63

"Tell me, what does the captain do? His skill in laying landmines is better than my abilities. If the map hadn't marked the area, could you have seen that there were landmines in this region without any footprints?" Watching the scavenger's figure disappear, Kantu couldn't help but say to Taohuayan.

"How would I know what he does? I met him in the game. But this guy is a maniac; he gets more excited about fighting than anyone else. He doesn't know how to enjoy life at all."

Looking at the landmine positions marked on the team map, Taohuayan thought about how he had just walked through this area. Although the scavenger was in team mode when laying the landmines, even if they exploded, they would only make Taohuayan look disheveled and wouldn't kill him. Still, Taohuayan couldn't help but feel a cold sweat running down his back.

"The captain must be a soldier; otherwise, how could he have such skills? I must become a powerful existence like the captain." Kantu looked at the landmine positions on the team map, recalling the scenes of the scavenger laying the landmines. His eyes glowed with intense heat, clearly indicating that his combative nature had been activated.

"Are you crazy? With your rich second-generation status and your brains, you could easily come up with a business plan, get some investments, and make a lot of money. With money, you can get girls, throw parties, and have all sorts of fun. Isn't that better than squatting here and getting bitten by mosquitoes?"

Taohuayan looked at Kantu as if he were a lunatic, swatting a mosquito that had landed on his face. The virtual reality of the game "Fate" was almost 100%, and being in the jungle felt no different from being in a real jungle. Even the mosquitoes seemed to know how to find their targets just like in real life.

"What's so great about a life of luxury? I've lived like that for so long, and it's not interesting. Fighting is exhilarating. Don't you think the moment a man defeats an enemy is very manly?"

"I only think a man who conquers a woman is manly, and being conquered by a woman is even more manly." Taohuayan's small eyes gleamed with a lecherous light.

The scavenger carefully returned to his previous position, checked the sniper rifle's bullets, and set up the front支架. The distance to the enemy camp was about 700 meters. To prevent ambushes, the enemy had cleared all obstacles within 500 meters around the camp and had guards on duty. Directly rushing in was impossible. So the scavenger came up with this plan to lure the enemy away.

The soldiers at the front were all mutants, who, although lacked long-range attack capabilities, were extremely agile. They could cover several hundred meters in just over ten seconds, making them more useful than hunting dogs.

Behind the mutants were ordinary-looking soldiers, who were actually mecha warriors. Further back were sandbag fortifications with heavy machine guns, and several gunners were hiding inside, forming a powerful firing point. Even further back were several combat-ready mentalists, and the main tent was at the very rear.

The entire camp's layout was simple, but the number of people was significant. If not for the uncertainty of whether there was a mission target here and the risk of drawing attention from the other two dense points, the scavenger could have easily wiped out everyone.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Placing his left hand on the sniper rifle again, the scavenger didn't aim at the nearest mutants but directly shot at the main tent. Based on his memory of the camp layout, he guessed the leader's position and continuously pulled the trigger, hoping to hit the leader by chance.

"Enemy attack!"

"Sniper, at the seven o'clock direction."

He fired five shots in rapid succession. Due to the silencer, the guards only realized they were under attack when the main tent showed signs of chaos. They quickly rushed towards the scavenger.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Once the enemy confirmed the scavenger's position, the heavy machine guns in the fortifications started firing at him. However, the scavenger had already changed his position and continued shooting.

Each shot was followed by a change in position, and he started to retreat. He no longer aimed blindly at the main tent but began to kill the rapidly approaching mutants, reducing the pressure on Kantu's upcoming distraction.

Bang! When a mutant approached within 200 meters of the scavenger, a shotgun blast erupted, turning the mutant into a sieve. However, with too many obstacles in the forest, the scavenger rarely used the shotgun and mostly relied on the sniper rifle. But after not going far into the jungle, the mecha warriors in metal shells caught up, and the scavenger had to start running quickly.

"Be careful, I've lured them over. I'll dodge and shoot to lead them into the minefield. You be careful, and if you can't hold on, run. Report your positions and request help if you need it; I'll try to get there as fast as possible." The scavenger dodged the bullets from the gunners behind him while giving instructions to Taohuayan and Kantu.

"Ha, just watch, I'll take them all out." Taohuayan couldn't help but feel excited, and Kantu was even more nervous and excited, his palms sweating. Clearly, killing soldiers who looked just like them was more thrilling than killing mutated beasts.

"Shoot to lure them over and block their advance. I'll take care of the ones following me." Seeing the distance was right, the scavenger directly threw out a wolf mecha, jumped in, and started running through the jungle like a monkey, quickly disappearing into the forest.

The scavenger's speed was fast, and the enemy sent several mechas to chase him, while the others rushed towards Kantu.

Boom! A mutant, moving too fast, tripped over a wire. A landmine exploded next to the mutant, and two more landmines exploded behind it, forming a chain reaction. The three landmines, with the mutant in the middle, instantly killed the mutant.

Kantu, a wealthy young master, had earned 600,000 points before coming, but he didn't use the cheap 100-point landmines. When Kantu laid the landmines, the lowest grade was 500 points per mine, and not even the more powerful landmines. The scavenger was a bit surprised. Spending a thousand points to hear an explosion was something only a rich young master like Kantu could afford without hesitation.

"How much do your landmines cost?" Seeing the mutant torn apart, leaving a large crater from the three landmines, and even a mecha warrior's leg missing, Taohuayan asked, somewhat shocked.

"Um... One of the three landmines that exploded was a 1500-point anti-tank mine, which is why it was so powerful." Kantu, who had watched the scavenger lay the landmines and seen the marks on the team map, explained the value of one of the three landmines.

"1500 points, how much attack power?" Taohuayan swallowed, feeling that 1500 points for an explosion was too extravagant.

"550 attack power, but gunners have an explosion power bonus. I read the description when buying the landmines; if a mecha steps on it, this anti-tank mine is enough to send it to the afterlife." Kantu fired while excitedly explaining.

"How much did you bring in landmines?"

"When I upgraded to a non-commissioned officer, I spent all my points on skills. But with the 600,000 points, I bought 50,000 points worth of landmines. The exchange rate was 20:1 yesterday, and it's a bit lower today. I wanted to buy more, but I couldn't carry much, so I didn't."

"1,000,000 points all on landmines?" Taohuayan's mouth dropped open.

"No, my level is too low. I can't buy better landmines. The most expensive anti-tank mine is 2000 points. But the captain said it's not about power; it's about having a variety. So I bought a few 1500-point anti-tank mines. But that's just a small expense; look at this."

Kantu, excited, dropped his sniper rifle and took out a rocket launcher from his weapon space. He used a skill to aim at a mecha approaching and fired.

Boom! The hit mecha disintegrated, and the massive explosion also affected nearby mechas and mutants, taking out three in one shot.

"How... how much does this cost?" Taohuayan forgot about the battle, his throat dry, and his voice trembling.

"100,000 points per rocket, 2000 attack power, plus the gunner's skill explosion bonus, it's incredibly powerful. But unfortunately, my level is too low to buy more than one. I don't have the merit points for another one." Seeing the power of his shot, Kantu's face turned red with excitement, but he felt a bit disappointed thinking about having only one.

"Rocket launcher! The gunner chasing after has heavy weapons?" The scavenger, running through the jungle towards the camp, paused at the sound of the explosion. Although the explosions were mixed, with the landmines he had laid being triggered, he still recognized the sound of the rocket launcher.
