Absolute Death Game-Chapter 313 - 82 Phantom Soldier

Xiao Buli sighed, "Kid, you are way too lovesick. Women can be found anywhere. With your abilities now, it shouldn’t be hard to find a few beautiful women. Besides, as far as I know, Wu Min’er doesn’t even like you, at most she considers you a friend."

A flash of anger crossed Lu Xinying’s eyes, but he still shook his head, "You don’t understand, sometimes there are people you’d willingly give your life for."

Xiao Buli nodded, "Maybe so, but as for me, Wu Min’er is not that person."

After finishing, Xiao Buli looked outside again. Those scientists seemed to have reached a consensus. One of them walked over to a control panel, picked up a microphone, and started shouting.

"Preparing for the sixth experiment, the game data materialization device is about to activate. Everyone evacuate to thirty meters away." After saying that, he fiddled with the machine for a while, waited until everyone had moved far away, and then he slammed down a lever. Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy

A buzzing sound immediately filled the entire base, the overhead lights flickering on and off. Many small probes extending from the large archway suddenly burst out with blinding white light, swirling into a vortex shape. The soldiers all watched the gate with heightened alertness, guns raised.

Xiao Buli marveled inwardly, noticing that everyone’s attention was on the gate, his heart suddenly lifted, and he carefully opened the louvered window and crawled out. Lu Xinying followed him, and the two of them walked a short distance along the wall before hiding behind a truck.

Xiao Buli said, "Alright, I’m leaving now, what about you?"

Lu Xinying seemed hesitant. On one hand, he knew that his chances of success if he stayed behind were slim, but on the other hand, he was reluctant to give up this opportunity. While he hesitated, suddenly there was a loud boom, and the lights in the hall dimmed for a moment before flickering back on.

Xiao Buli and Lu Xinying were both startled and hurriedly looked towards the direction of the device. The white light had disappeared, the control panel was emitting white smoke, and it appeared to be broken.

"So, it’s a failure again." Two women in uniforms came out from a monitoring room nearby. One of them spoke to the scientists. Although her voice was calm, her dissatisfaction was clear from her stern face. The scientists in white coats didn’t dare to breathe heavily, all hanging their heads like scolded schoolchildren.

This woman was none other than Qin Shimoon. Xiao Buli thought to himself that this mysterious woman really had a presence; he hadn’t noticed it before. Lu Xinying, however, was elated, "Sister Wu!"

The two women were Qin Shimoon and, who else could it be but Wu Min’er?

(Finally found you!) As Lu Xinying thought this, he wanted to rush out, but suddenly his head was prodded by something hard. An icy chill ran through his body, and he froze on the spot.

Xiao Buli was just about to say something when he noticed Lu Xinying’s body stiffen. Xiao Buli activated his Omniscient Eye to look ahead, and a blurry humanoid figure gradually emerged into his vision. It was a soldier in a black tight-fitting combat suit that felt very futuristic, reminiscent of the nanosuit from Crysis. The soldier had a helmet on his head, and the visor was emitting a faint red glow, seemingly some kind of thermal imaging device.

Things had gone south! A chill ran down Xiao Buli’s spine. They had been discovered. Could he be invisible, perhaps another player?

Almost instinctively, Xiao Buli kicked out, hitting the rifle’s barrel. As the barrel lifted, a series of silenced shots pierced the air - biu biu biu - although the sound was muffled. The bullets’ impact against the metal truck was surprisingly loud, clanging three times, and Xiao Buli inwardly cursed his luck.

No choice but to fight!

The man revealed himself after being kicked and Xiao Buli was exposed as well.

He quickly drew his sword and launched a barrage of attacks like a violent storm. The Gale Sword Skills were unleashed furiously. Not having a melee weapon on hand, the soldier could only block with his silenced rifle, which Xiao Buli split in half with one stroke, along with the man himself.

No sooner had he dealt with this enemy than soldiers from all around began to converge on them - they were surrounded, a truly hopeless situation.

However, the greater the crisis, the calmer Xiao Buli became. In an instant, he sorted out the current situation and immediately came up with a plan—a plan that wasn’t really a plan.

"Seize Qin Shimoon!" he roared and once again activated Skimming Shadow Steps, lunging towards Qin Shimoon. A series of bullets chased after him, making it clear that there was more than one Phantom Soldier who could see through the Invisibility Effect. Two bullets hit him in succession, but fortunately, they were blocked by the Spiritual Energy Shield, though it did reveal his position to the regular soldiers. Just in time, he had already reached the front lines.

As several soldiers were about to open fire, Xiao Buli unleashed an Ultimate Skill—Carefree Wandering Dragon Sword Dance—and cut down the crowd from one side to the other. The soldiers only saw a flash before them, and the next moment, they were clutching their throats, collapsing one by one.

After executing the move, Xiao Buli was less than ten meters away from Qin Shimoon. In the blink of an eye, he rushed up to her. Qin Shimoon seemed still very calm, drawing her handgun while retreating. Wu Min’er, however, stepped forward, conjuring two daggers in her hands like magic. Before she could attack, a dark figure sprang from beside Xiao Buli and grappled with her.

The clanging of weapons colliding echoed through the air as Lu Xinying and Wu Min’er separated after crossing swords. Wu Min’er, upon seeing Lu Xinying’s face, was stunned, "It’s you?" She glanced at Xiao Buli and seemed to realize something.

While Lu Xinying was engaging Wu Min’er, Xiao Buli had already reached Qin Shimoon. Qin Shimoon fired several shots point-blank, which Xiao Buli didn’t bother to dodge. Trusting in his Spiritual Energy Shield, he closed the gap and pressed his sword against her neck. Qin Shimoon smiled bitterly and wisely put down her handgun, as Xiao Buli grabbed her shoulder and turned her around to shield himself from the advancing soldiers.

Several blurry figures emerged in the air—more Phantom Soldiers dressed just like the previous ones. Xiao Buli was even more astonished. It seemed that the organization had perfectly combined in-game abilities with modern technology: Phantom Soldiers equipped with silencers, Invisibility, thermal imagers, and other capabilities were undoubtedly a formidable force. If used on the battlefield, they could probably defeat the enemy without anyone noticing.

Luckily, he now had Qin Shimoon in his grip. The enemy would not dare act rashly for fear of hurting her.

Things had gone more smoothly than he had expected, which surprised him. He had assumed that Qin Shimoon would surely have acquired power through the game, being in possession of such an asset and having so many people working for her. She would likely possess great strength—at least not weaker than Dugu Han, he had thought. He had braced himself for a tough fight, but it turned out that the opponent was seemingly just an ordinary person, who had made no resistance at all.

A dull ache throbbed in his chest. After all, the Spiritual Energy Shield wasn’t very durable. Qin Shimoon’s last two shots had actually hit him, but it was the Dragon Scale Armor’s protection that prevented any injury, though the pain was inevitable.

Lu Xinying had also taken cover behind him by now. They were surrounded by soldiers pointing their guns from all around. Having so many guns aimed at him was a truly nerve-wracking feeling. Xiao Buli quickly used a spiritual energy recovery spell to restore some of the shield’s durability, but he still felt uncertain.

At such close range, if the enemy risked shooting, they were likely to hit him. Therefore, Xiao Buli crouched down as much as he could behind Qin Shimoon, while bellowing, "Everyone back off, or I’ll kill her!"

This shout was indeed effective. Qin Shimoon clearly held a high position within the organization, and the soldiers, threatened, stopped advancing.

"You can’t escape," Qin Shimoon said, not the least bit frightened but rather spoke calmly, "If I were you, I would put down my weapons. As long as you sign a contract, we can still grant you a way out. The offer I made last time hasn’t expired yet. We need people with potential like you."

Shut up! Xiao Buli yanked fiercely, causing Qin Shimoon to let out a pained moan, yet she did not stop talking.

"It’s useless. Even though they won’t hurt me, they will definitely not let you leave. The secrets of this base cannot be leaked. So, if you’re planning to use me as a human shield to escape, you’re going to be disappointed. They will fire without hesitation, turning both you and me into sieves. Your protective abilities seem decent, but do you think you can withstand a barrage from automatic weapons?"

Xiao Buli looked at the soldiers, their icy gazes and steady arms holding the guns, which substantiated Qin Shimoon’s words. He certainly couldn’t withstand the barrage of automatic weapons. The Spiritual Energy Shield could, at most, withstand three or five bullets, but he was facing the firepower of dozens of guns.

Unable to relax with so many guns pointing at him, Xiao Buli said, "Let’s retreat inside. I warn you, don’t follow, or I will kill her."

The trio slowly moved backwards. Wu Min’er hesitated for a moment, then turned to the soldiers and said, "Stay here, I’ll deal with them." After saying that, she followed the group.

One of the captains among the soldiers was troubled: "But—"

"I’m a captain, and I’m in charge here! Obey your orders, Lieutenant." Wu Min’er said coldly, and the captain eventually nodded, "Yes, ma’am." (To be continued.
