Trembling At A High Altitude

Poor shotgunner, he hadn't even figured out what was happening when Li Teng locked his neck and dragged him into the nearby woods.

After a bout of torture, he yielded the same information as the previous man and woman had.

It seemed that these three knew only this much about the troop deployment of No. 5.

Verifying from both sides, it was indeed confirmed that they were honest, and they did not lie.

However, being honest and not lying did not save their lives.

Six hunters, only three left now.

The three who were killed were probably peripherally involved and not closely related to No. 5.

The two left at point B's camp were No. 5's trusted confidants.

No. 5 stationed them there, not expecting them to kill Li Teng and Liu Hui.

Better if they could kill them, but it didn't matter if they couldn't.

Pistols, shotguns—No. 5 didn't really care about them.

Even losing them was inconsequential.

No. 5's focus was on the military camp they built at point B.

With heavy troops guarding, they aimed to cut off any hope for Li Teng and Liu Hui.

As long as they held point B, if Li Teng and Liu Hui failed to complete their mission, the result would be the same—both would be eliminated with a deduction of 1000 points each.

Over eighty NPC soldiers armed with firearms, plus their three elites, made the camp as secure as a fortress, impregnable unless attacked by tanks or artillery.

However, in this scripted world, there were no such heavy weapons available.

The only thing that could be considered a heavy weapon was the portable rocket-propelled grenade launcher, which was securely in No. 5's hands.

With a total of twenty grenades, enough to blast Li Teng into pieces twenty times over.

If there was a chance to kill Li Teng and Liu Hui and an opportunity to humiliate Li Teng to his face, No. 5 would certainly be pleased.

But he would still rather play it safe and hold the fort at the camp at point B.

...

Li Teng found a shotgun and two magazines on the shotgunner.

There was also a short-distance communicator.

Perfect, one for him and one for Liu Hui.

After killing the shotgunner, Li Teng then moved on to the shop where the shotgunner had been located.

The shop was actually his temporary lodging.

After scouting and confirming there was no one else inside, Li Teng entered the shop and conducted a search.

He found a flare gun, a military telescope, and a map.

Leaving the shop, Li Teng looked around.

Indeed, nearby there was a high platform accessible by ladder with a good vantage point, offering a view of the road leading out of the northern gate of Storm Ridge.

Such fine equipment wasted, he didn't even get to use it and straight away it was funded to Li Teng.

Without long-distance communication, the flare gun was likely used to signal the Black Dragon Association and the military camp at point B over ten kilometers away.

Along the way, there might also be some beacon towers made up of flare guns seeing the signal from here and firing theirs in turn; even during the daytime, they could transmit the signal to the Black Dragon Association.

The equipment provided by the director to the hunters was indeed comprehensive.

After killing the Shotgunner, the two continued heading north.

After passing Storm Ridge in area C, the markings on Li Teng's map became very vague.

The map they had found on the Shotgunner had relatively clear terrain markings.

However, it did not show the specific locations of any defense outposts.

One kilometer ahead of them, on their must-pass route to area B, there was a secret outpost arranged by No. 5.

The outpost was built in the forest.

A concealed fortification was constructed around the perimeter of the outpost.

Ten NPC soldiers from the Black Dragon Association were stationed there, and they had received orders from No. 5 the previous day. Anyone passing by who was not an NPC soldier with an official transfer letter from the Black Dragon Association was to be shot on sight without questioning.

Although these Black Dragon Association NPC soldiers were puzzled by such a cold-hearted order, since No. 5 held a high position in the Black Dragon Association in the plot mission, they could not question these orders and had to obey.

Since the command was issued, no one had passed by from yesterday until today.

But just as they were preparing to switch shifts and have lunch, a middle-aged woman appeared on the path in front of them.

"Damn it! Running so fast! Making me chase you! Where did you go? What kind of godforsaken place is this? Not a soul around, it's scaring me to death!" the woman cursed as she jogged along.

This woman was Luo Bijiao.

After being summoned by Li Teng using the Virtual Companion APP and spotting Li Teng ahead, she hurriedly chased after him.

But Li Teng quickly disappeared from sight, so she had no choice but to follow in the direction Li Teng had vanished towards.

"Should we shoot?" one soldier quietly asked their leader.

"Of course, shoot," the leader ordered.

"Bang! Bang, Bang!"

Three consecutive gunshots rang out, and the poor Luo Bijiao, who had no understanding of what was happening, was shot dead on the spot. Moments later, her body vanished into thin air.

"Huh? What the hell?" the soldiers could not help but be amazed at this sight.

What astonished them even more was that the sound of gunfire revealed their hidden position. Then, several bullets, seemingly from nowhere, shot towards them, each bullet accurately hitting their heads and killing them on the spot.

The soldiers in the outpost who were about to have lunch had no idea what had happened. They grabbed their guns and rushed out of the outpost, only to be headshot as well.

The meal they had prepared, of course, ended up being enjoyed by Li Teng and Liu Hui.

"Who was that fat woman? How did she appear out of nowhere? Was that a cheat?" Liu Hui asked Li Teng while eating.

"It's not a cheat, but an APP I got accidentally in another Scripted World, specifically meant to create ugly women. It's possibly something Film and Television City uses to punish me," Li Teng replied.

"That's quite a novel form of punishment, isn't it? It's incredibly imaginative," Liu Hui said, opening her eyes wide.

"Yeah! Sometimes the APP malfunctions and spits out a dozen or so at once. It's a pity I can only summon one at a time. Otherwise, sending a dozen to charge at the Black Dragon Association would certainly create a spectacular scene," Li Teng expressed regretfully.

"Now that the fat woman is dead, what do we do about the next hidden outpost?" Liu Hui started to worry.

"No worries, let's finish our meal. In about half an hour, she'll resurrect and can continue to clear mines for us," Li Teng smiled. The purpose of the Virtual Companion APP isn't just to summon beauties for chatting; using it like just now is the correct way.

"An eighty-year-old man's skin, conjuring a fat woman from thin air, what other secrets do you have that I don't know about?" Liu Hui looked at Li Teng.

"Yes, like, I've brought a delicacy with me that you've never tried before."

"What delicacy?"

"..."

"Get lost!"
