383: Chapter 382 The Raven's First Kiss (Part 2)

The outcome of a battle could actually be hidden in such an inconspicuous little detail. Wang Shuo looked at the black figure still standing in the shadows on the screen, and a faint understanding dawned on him.

What Zheng Yi said, I'm afraid, was correct.

Not only did Instructor Duan Chengwu not object, but even the black figure on the screen seemed to have perceived something.

He waited there quietly, like an experienced hunter waiting for his prey.

The control room fell silent for a moment, and the three of them stared intently at the squad on the screen as it slowly searched forward.

Finally, after several members of the five squads took a step forward simultaneously, the black Night Crow hidden in the shadows moved.

He stepped out of the shadows and suddenly vanished!

...

Jin Weidong led his five-man squad as they slowly approached the building in front of them. Their footsteps were slow, their pace kept as uniform as possible, and beneath their goggles, sharp gazes swept across the surroundings.

Fifty meters. There was not the slightest movement in the building opposite; the quiet environment was such that they could even hear their own footsteps.

Jin Weidong steadied his nerves and cast a slight glance at his flanks.

His position was directly to the south, while the other squads were distributed in a ring to the north, centered on his position. From where he was, he could easily see the positions of the squads on either side by just tilting his head slightly, and the same was true for the other squads.

Forty-five meters.

No reaction. The three squads were still slowly approaching the building.

Thirty-five meters.

Nothing happened.

Twenty-five meters.

Jin Weidong raised one arm and clenched his fist.

The five squads stopped in their tracks almost simultaneously.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Jin Weidong carefully observed the building in front of him.

The sun was bright, but the pitch-black entrance of the building seemed like the gaping maw of an abyss; once they stepped into it, it would mercilessly devour them.

Giving a slight hand signal and confirming that everyone had seen it, Jin Weidong made the signal to advance once again.

The five squads resumed their movement, slowly approaching the building.

Twenty-four meters. Twenty-three meters. Twenty-two meters.

Just as Jin Weidong stepped into the twenty-meter range, the very instant the squads on both sides disappeared from his peripheral vision, a sudden change occurred!

A black figure stepped out of the shadows and suddenly appeared before Jin Weidong!

Jin Weidong was shocked. Before he could even give an order, the six members of his squad reacted almost simultaneously, aiming at the suddenly appearing black figure and pulling their triggers!

The unique "da-da" sound of the Type 95 rifles suddenly rang out across the field, and countless special paint-filled bullets formed a dense rain of fire, pouncing toward the black figure.

This response speed, synchronization, and accuracy could completely be described as the elite of the elite.

If it were Wang Shuo, let alone wearing Night Crow, even if Night Crow were upgraded from the inside out again, he would still die on the spot, with no possibility of survival.

But they were not facing Wang Shuo; the person inside this Night Crow... was Captain Li Liancai!

He was the universally recognized Captain of their group! He was the sharpest blade in the Special Forces Reconnaissance Company!

Stepping out and seeing the team members aiming at him simultaneously, Captain Li Liancai did not panic in the slightest, saying calmly, "Night Crow, one hundred percent."

Power erupted instantly, and Captain Li Liancai felt a great force surge from the soles of his feet. His entire body accelerated instantly, vanishing from his original spot.

The dense rain of bullets struck the building and burst open, leaving behind a dense cluster of white spots.

Jin Weidong's eyes narrowed slightly. Only now did he realize that he had misjudged the situation; he had far underestimated the speed that Night Crow could unleash when worn by a top-tier soldier.

Zero to one hundred acceleration in less than a second—how terrifying was that?

They were witnessing it now; at a distance of twenty meters, this speed was enough to make all their shots miss.

Jin Weidong gritted his teeth and shouted, "Flashbangs!"

Several dark green grenade-like objects were quickly thrown from the squad, aimed directly at the newly appeared Night Crow.

Captain Li Liancai raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling a bit speechless.

Flashbangs were indeed somewhat effective against infantry; if they exploded exactly within the effective range and the infantry had no protection, it would cause them to lose all senses to a certain degree.

But... using this stuff against Night Crow? Brother, you're suffering because you've never worn Night Crow.

Besides, these things have a delay; to be able to throw them so quickly and decisively, I'm afraid they were ready from the start.

If I hadn't come out, once they entered the building, I'm afraid what would be waiting for me would be dozens of flashbangs, maybe even grenades.

Even Captain Li Liancai couldn't help but shiver at the thought of such a scene.

If you have enough firepower, even gods will give way.

This guy is probably trying to make the boss get a new training ground.

"Night Crow, assist me."

Captain Li Liancai's voice was slightly deep. He shifted his feet, sand and gravel exploded from where he stood, and the black figure turned into a stream of light, darting toward Jin Weidong directly opposite.

Jin Weidong's eyes were very calm.

He had already considered the possibility that flashbangs wouldn't work, so his trump card was never the flashbangs, but his teammates.

As long as he could stall for time and let the others come to encircle him, in such an open field, no matter how fast Captain Li Liancai ran, he would eventually be covered by firepower.

But it seemed there was no time left.

At a distance of twenty meters, with the speed Night Crow had just displayed, it could reach him in less than a second, and as long as he was touched by Night Crow, he would be judged as dead.

This was fair. A human could never compete with a machine in terms of strength; something like Night Crow, once it got close, was a weapon of mass destruction.

Without trying to dodge, Jin Weidong raised the Type 95 rifle in his hands.

In less than a second, he raised his rifle, stabilized, aimed, and pulled the trigger—all in one fluid motion.

This was Jin Weidong's strength. The title of "King of Soldiers" was never something given by others, but earned one shot at a time, one step at a time.

"Da-da-da-da."

Nine bullets accompanied by flames sprayed out, heading straight for Night Crow.

He did not aim directly at Night Crow's helmet visor, but instead aimed at the body, a part where he absolutely could not miss at this distance.

A trace of determination appeared in Jin Weidong's eyes. Night Crow was fast, but high speed did not mean invincibility. Its strongest ability was also its weakest ability; as long as the speed reached the extreme, Night Crow could not dodge bullets in a straight line.

However, the next moment, a flash of disbelief crossed Jin Weidong's eyes.

He saw Night Crow, which was sprinting at an extremely fast speed, make a loud noise under its feet as it stomped a deep pit into the dirt ground, and its figure suddenly changed direction.

The next moment, there was another loud noise, and Night Crow changed direction again, shooting toward him from another angle.

Jin Weidong saw it; he saw all of Night Crow's movements.

But seeing it did not mean he could react.

Night Crow was simply too fast, and the time left for him was simply too short.

After a few bullets were fired, he didn't even have time to lower his gun before Night Crow got close and gently brushed past his shoulder, causing a puff of yellow smoke to rise from his body.

He was eliminated.
