4: Get the first kill of the major?

Soon, two passengers jumped out of the car. One of them, wearing a black military overcoat, held a pistol in both hands, scanning the surroundings with extreme tension.

The person in the driver's seat, however, held a rifle, using the car door as cover to guard the rear.

"Tsk tsk... It's a Major!"

Di Yun observed through the rifle's holographic sight and said with some surprise.

"Oh, a Major?" Li Xiao looked over and indeed saw a golden seven-pointed star on the collar insignia faintly visible on the man in the military overcoat, with a golden line at the bottom.

"Does this represent a Major?"

"Of course. If that flower were silver, he'd be a Lieutenant Colonel."

Li Xiao was secretly delighted, never expecting to run into such a big catch today!

After an officer and a soldier stood guard for a long time and found no movement, the soldier ran to the rear of the SUV, opened the trunk, and soon dragged out a spare tire to begin changing it.

The Major then took the soldier's assault rifle and continued to maintain vigilance.

"Di Yun, can you one-shot that Major in the head?"

The Major looked like a strong fighter; if he wasn't taken out instantly, their side would suffer losses.

"I can't instantly kill him, Commander."

"Why? Even at forty meters, hitting him in the chest should incapacitate him, and with me and Ye Ming following up, he's dead for sure!"

Li Xiao turned to look at Di Yun, thinking this guy shouldn't be so incompetent.

Di Yun clearly knew Li Xiao's thoughts and slowly said, "At such a close range, I can indeed achieve a headshot with ninety percent certainty, but this Major-ranked officer has a thousand hit points!"

"Hit points! A thousand?"

Li Xiao was initially surprised but then remembered that the data he had seen for Di Yun indeed showed hit points.

"That's right. My QBZ19 assault rifle hitting a target wearing a Kevlar helmet will have its damage reduced by forty percent, only dealing fifty to sixty points at most. Even if the opponent is only wearing a military cap now, I can only deal ninety to ninety-five points of damage."

"Damn it! There's such a thing?!"

Li Xiao was depressed. He thought he had transmigrated to another world where life and death were just a bullet away, but he never expected the system to play like this.

In that case, the Major's hit points were equal to ten Di Yuns. How could they even fight?

"But it's not entirely impossible to act!"

Di Yun suddenly added, "I have a dual-purpose offensive/defensive grenade. Its damage value is 95 points to an unarmored target within a two-meter radius."

"But that's still far from enough, isn't it?" Li Xiao said anxiously.

"Don't rush, Commander." Di Yun's mouth curved into a smile: "Although the damage to a person is only a little over ninety points, making it difficult to instantly kill even a private, its damage to vehicles like SUVs is as high as eighteen hundred points!"

"So?"

"Ordinary military SUVs like this one have a durability limit of two thousand points. After the grenade depletes most of its durability, the remaining sliver of health only needs five or six assault rifle rounds to be depleted. And when a vehicle's durability is exhausted, its fuel tank will inevitably explode, dealing five hundred points of damage to anything within two meters of it!"

"Five hundred points!" Li Xiao's eyes lit up.

Calculating this, the combined damage from the grenade and the vehicle could not only instantly kill the soldier, but the officer would also lose nearly six hundred hit points.

"Damn it! Let's do it this way! Fortune favors the bold!"

After Li Xiao made the decision, Di Yun pulled out a grenade and handed it to Ye Ming: "How's your grenade throwing skill?"

"Don't worry, I can guarantee accuracy at forty meters!" Ye Ming took the grenade and weighed it in his hand.

"Alright, Commander, we'll wait for Ye Ming to throw the grenade and simultaneously focus fire on the enemy Major to cover the sound of the grenade landing while trying to reduce his hit points as much as possible!"

"OK!"

Li Xiao was full of confidence, his spirit already growing excited. This was going to be a life-or-death situation.

Ye Ming skillfully pulled out the grenade's safety pin and then threw it forcefully towards the SUV.

Bang!

Da da da da!!!

Bang bang!!!

Almost simultaneously, Di Yun pulled the trigger, and the crisp gunfire of the QBZ19 rifle echoed through the forest. A three-round burst instantly struck the Major.

The Major was indeed worthy of his rank. The moment the shots rang out, he immediately dropped to a prone position.

But even his speed was a beat slower than the bullets. Di Yun's first bullet accurately hit his forehead, and the immense penetrating power caused the Major to tilt backward.

However, it was only that one shot. Subsequent bullets, including Li Xiao's, all missed.

Li Xiao could also see the opponent's health bar flash above his head. Although there was no specific value, it had indeed decreased by nearly a tenth.

The Major rolled once on the ground and hid behind the rear wheel. Di Yun gave him no chance to retaliate, continuously firing at the front of the car, bullets rattling against the engine hood.

The Major, with a grim face, was about to raise his gun to return fire when two loud explosions suddenly echoed in his ears. The powerful shockwave instantly sent him flying three to four meters away.

Looking back, the SUV had flipped over in the explosion, wheels up, and the soldier who was repairing the tire was instantly blown to smithereens.

At the same time, Li Xiao noticed two numbers, one red and one blue, appearing simultaneously in the left and right corners of his vision, showing one hundred and two thousand respectively.

Hmm? What is this?

These suddenly appearing numbers made Li Xiao a bit curious, but at this moment, he didn't have time to think much. Di Yun, seeing the Major flung away, immediately charged forward.

Ye Ming followed closely with his automatic pistol. It seemed Di Yun wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

The QBZ19 fired continuously, spent bullet casings clinking non-stop as they hit the ground. Several consecutive bullets struck the Major, depleting another two hundred-plus hit points from him.

However, the Major also recovered from the explosion. Enduring Di Yun's bullets, he managed to lie on the ground, raise his rifle, and open fire. Di Yun sensed danger and immediately dodged, but two bullets still hit him in the chest.

Fortunately, Di Yun was wearing a bulletproof vest, and the two shots only depleted a little over half of his hit points.

Seeing Di Yun evade his line of fire, the Major had no intention of letting him go. He got up, gripped his gun with both hands, and aimed his sights at Di Yun again.

Just at this critical moment, Ye Ming, who had followed up, opened fire. The Type 05 automatic pistol fired rapidly, several consecutive bullets hitting the Major's head, instantly killing him.

Li Xiao, who had followed, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Major fall. He hadn't expected such detailed calculations, yet Di Yun had still almost been killed.

Soon, Ye Ming and Di Yun successively searched the two bodies, finding sixty rifle rounds and twenty pistol rounds, as well as one rifle and one pistol each.

In addition, they also found the universal currency of this planet: Star Coins!

An encrypted electronic currency using anonymous chip cards as its medium, it could be used to trade with the indigenous people of this planet.
