Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 3 - : The Source of Self-Confidence

Yue Ziheng couldn't completely convince himself to trust Blood Fox's words, but his inner balance had already tipped towards Blood Fox due to the series of conversations just now...

Blood Fox appeared too calm, so much so that Yue Ziheng couldn't think of any reason he would need to deceive him.

The official bounty, the underground bounty...

The warrant must be real; otherwise, Blood Fox couldn't possibly know the details so well.

The underground bounty should also be true because when Yue Ziheng was in Mongka, he indeed heard a few guys declaring their affiliations, as if they were quite influential.

All these were things Yue Ziheng could never have imagined in the past, yet now they've become swords hanging over his head, ready to claim his life at any moment.

Actually, the veracity of the other contents in Blood Fox's story was no longer important to Yue Ziheng. As long as those people wanted to hand him over to drug lord Naokan, he and them were irreconcilable enemies.

Trapped on a ship, injured in the leg, confined to a cramped space, the number of opponents unknown...

This high-pressure situation caused the severely wounded Yue Ziheng to feel waves of dizziness, as past events suddenly flashed back in his mind...

Yue Ziheng was born in Jinling, grew up in the residential compound of a steel factory where his parents, both factory workers, died in an accident. He was raised in the compound under the care of the factory, living off the charity of many...

Despite the lack of parental care, thanks to the welfare of the state-owned enterprise and the atmosphere of the compound, his childhood days weren't too bad.

Thanks to a smart mind, Yue Ziheng skipped grades in elementary and middle school, attended high school at 14, entered Jinling University majoring in International Trade at 16, and by the age of 22, he had earned dual master's degrees in International Trade and Financial Management. He also self-learnt Russian and Spanish and eventually smoothly secured a position in a central state-owned enterprise...

A nearly perfect educational background allowed him to cruise through life smoothly; at 22 he was posted to Eastern Europe for work, and at 26, after returning to the country, he immediately ascended to a senior management position in a subsidiary...

It was also that year when Yue Ziheng married his university classmate Li Xiaowan due to pregnancy, and his career accelerated into the fast lane...

These, however, were only the parts of Yue Ziheng's life he could discuss with others. There was a tremendous secret he carried with him...

Hidden beneath his wedding ring was a discreet pattern; a symbol for a highly sophisticated printing device and virtual training system called the Sergeant System.

This device, based on the data stored within it, could print a full set of personal armament equipment, including various advanced accessories and mechanical aids...

However, there were conditions for printing this equipment: firstly, raw materials were needed, and secondly, gold was required as a medium to activate the data within the device...

For instance, to acquire the Ruger Mark2 Silent Pistol he currently held, Yue Ziheng had paid 2 kilograms of gold to activate the printing data.

He also needed to locate the proper raw materials and stable electricity supply to manufacture a flawless pistol and bullets.

But once the data was activated, gold was no longer needed to produce more pistols and bullets. With enough raw materials and a stable power source, Yue Ziheng could conjure guns and ammunition out of thin air.

Moreover, once activated, the manufacturing space itself contained a space invisible to outsiders. Although small and unable to store 'non-system' items, it was ample for Yue Ziheng to carry the spare weapons and equipment he needed.

In fact, when Yue Ziheng rose earlier to seize the gun, it was only to mislead onlookers. He had no intention of killing Blood Fox directly; otherwise, he could have produced an identical Ruger Silent Pistol out of nowhere.

Yue Ziheng also had another modernized, modified VSS Silent Sniper Rifle.

To save his son, he converted all his liquid assets into 5 kilograms of gold to activate the data and also purchased sufficient raw materials to produce a highly accurate rifle.

The gun wasn't in the cabin now; it must have been taken by someone outside.

The Sergeant System is a personal equipment printing system that transcends cognition, its internal print content covers all equipment needed for a Super Soldier's operations, including known models of firearms and personal equipment, as well as some ultra-advanced equipment that Yue Ziheng has never even heard of.

However, due to the high cost of these items, as well as prohibitions in peaceful countries, they haven't provided Yue Ziheng with much help in terms of money and life...

In contrast, the inbuilt virtual training system allowed this orphan to immerse himself in 'real training' every night since his childhood.

Coupled with real-life physical training, and four years of actual firearms training in St. Petersburg, he not only achieved excellent physical fitness but also mastered a series of combat skills that normally require joining the military or spending a lot of money.

But currently, these skills were focused only on close combat and shooting...

However, it was precisely because he possessed these skills that he was able to track down and kill the kidnappers after his son was taken by traffickers.

Public information previously disclosed by Blood Fox stated that Yue Ziheng traveled 2700 kilometers in 25 days, eliminating 76 people.

In reality, Yue Ziheng wasn't inherently brutal; rather, the abilities he could employ against traffickers were lethal.

What the public message didn't mention was that in the course of Yue Ziheng's killings, not only were 76 traffickers killed, but also dozens of children and women who had been trafficked were rescued along the way.

This might well be the reason for the mildness of the domestic bounty!

What Yue Ziheng hadn't anticipated was that in his last battle in Mongka, he actually killed some very important figures...

He didn't regret the killings, but the substantial bounty that was offered had him very worried...

Not for himself but for his son who had just escaped from the den of evil and his wife who might be threatened.

Influenced by her family, his wife Li Xiaowan had entered the police force after graduation, and she would definitely be implicated by this incident.

Having the security of two houses, losing a public position wouldn't make the originally affluent family situation worse, but losing protection within the system...

Thinking of this, Yue Ziheng shuddered, straightening his body sharply, he looked at Blood Fox and asked, "If Naokan dies, does that mean the bounty on me will end?"

The dark expression on Yue Ziheng's face caught Blood Fox off guard, he said with a smile, "You're actually thinking of killing Naokan? Do you have any idea how many men he has?

And have you thought about the fact that you're not out of danger yet? Your legs can't even support you walking ten meters..."

Yue Ziheng stared into Blood Fox's eyes for a few seconds, then shook his head, "You've not been afraid of those people outside from the start; either you've been lying to me all this time or you're confident you can get out of this.

Police officers always have a partner when they go out. As an investigator of high-risk contracts, it's impossible not to have a backup. You're waiting for your comrades, aren't you?"

Yue Ziheng looked at Blood Fox's noncommittal appearance, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll help you eliminate the people outside, and you send me to face the drug lord Naokan, you take the 1 million US Dollars...

Deal?"

Blood Fox paused and asked curiously, "You're worried your family will be affected by the bounty?"

As he spoke, Blood Fox observed Yue Ziheng's determined expression, and then suddenly smiling, said, "Then we can indeed talk..."
