Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Sweep _1

When everyone saw Chen Dalong stop, they immediately became alert and hurriedly looked around.

“What’s wrong with the boss?” Li Huosheng asked in a low voice.

Chen Dalong didn’t answer, but instead gestured to Liu Wenhua and Xie Guanzhong on the other side, and then pointed at the pile of rubble ahead.

He had already seen the Mutated Chameleon; it was one meter long and lying there stealthily like a silent hunter.

Although Chen Dalong was confident that he could handle it himself, if he were to do everything, why would he recruit so many subordinates?

Now was the best time to test them.

Upon seeing Chen Dalong’s gestures, Liu Wenhua and Xie Guanzhong immediately looked in that direction. Both had been sharpshooters with exceptionally keen eyesight. After being alerted, they almost instantly spotted the target.

Their rifles rose in unison. Without any visible aiming, two shots rang out.

Then, the distant chameleon’s head showed two bloody holes, and it was dead beyond any doubt.

From detecting the target to neutralizing it, the whole process took no more than a second.

“Good job!” Chen Dalong couldn’t help but clap and cheer, feeling that his 100,000 yuan was well spent.

Had these two been there yesterday during the Mutated Wild Boar encounter, no, even if just one was present, that boar could have been taken down.

At this time, the other members of the security company finally reacted, and they all promptly offered their flattery.

“Impressive! Truly worthy of the title sharpshooters. I didn’t even react, and that thing was already taken down.”

“With the boss unbeatable in close combat and two sharpshooters for long-range, our company is on the fast track to soaring!”

Hearing the praise from everyone, Liu Wenhua and Xie Guanzhong felt somewhat sheepish.

The distance between them and that pile of rubble was only fifteen or sixteen meters. Any sniper could have hit the target with certainty.

“Well shot, I’ll commend you both for this,” Chen Dalong said with a mild and smiling voice.

He then arranged for people to carry the corpse of the Mutated Lizard and proceeded to move forward.

At this moment, the voice of the Mutated Parrot came through his Bluetooth headset again.

“At ten o’clock, move forward 70 meters, and you will see a huge rock. Go around it, and you will find three Mutated King Cobras.”

“Be careful when taking them down. Don’t get bitten. Even with your physical fitness, you won’t withstand their venom.”

Hearing the previous words, Chen Dalong subconsciously lifted his foot to turn and walk in that direction, but when he heard that the target for elimination was Mutated King Cobras, his step faltered, almost causing him to stumble.

He quickly steadied himself and discretely took off one of the Bluetooth earpieces, bringing it to his mouth and asked in a very faint voice, “Lord Parrot, are you asking me to take down the King Cobras?”

“Yes! Is there a problem?” the Mutated Parrot asked.

“It’s not that… It’s just… the Dragon Lord, he…” Chen Dalong started, feeling a little anxious, not quite sure how to express himself all of a sudden.

The Mutated Parrot snorted, asking in a slightly mocking tone, “What? Do you have to respectfully address other parrots as ‘Lord Parrot’ too?”

“Uh… no, it’s just that…” Chen Dalong was slightly at a loss for words.

“The Dragon Lord is a reincarnation of the True Dragon. You can’t possibly equate these ordinary King Cobras with the Dragon Lord, otherwise, if he were to hear such a thing, the Dragon Lord would truly be angry.”

“So you can go ahead and kill with confidence, not just the King Cobra, but even the kind of other envoys as well. As long as you have my command, you can boldly go ahead and kill,” the Mutated Parrot said seriously, without any hint of joking.

Hearing the other party’s confirmation again, Chen Dalong no longer hesitated. He immediately led his team towards the location of the Mutated King Cobra.

What happened next was almost identical to earlier events. Taking the lead, Chen Dalong cleared the way for his team and quickly headed towards the target location.

The team advanced in silence, which was one of Chen Dalong’s requirements, to make as little noise as possible in order not to startle the prey.

This was a mountain forest, naturally filled with various animal cries and the constant, intermingled sounds of Mutated Beings fighting, tearing at each other, and calling out.

Apart from that, gunshots could occasionally be heard in the distance. As long as they moved quietly and refrained from firing, their own noise could be completely masked.

Moments later, Chen Dalong made a gun-firing gesture to the people behind him. He also took out the automatic rifle from his back and moved behind a boulder, where indeed he saw three Mutated King Cobras on the other side.

He decisively pulled the trigger.

Bang, bang, bang!

Three gunshots rang out in succession, but to his embarrassment, of the three King Cobras just 10 meters away, only one was hit by a bullet, and it was just in the tail, failing to inflict a fatal wound.

Of those three King Cobras, the longest measured 7 meters, and even the shortest was 5 meters. They were startled by the attack but instantly swam rapidly towards Chen Dalong’s position.

This frightened Chen Dalong into retreating again and again, but fortunately, the rest of the team arrived just in time.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

What followed was a well-coordinated series of gunshots, with nearly 15 veterans each firing a shot.

After a volley of fire, the three King Cobras were shot into a mess, with each of the serpent’s foreheads hit by at least three bullets.

Seeing this, Chen Dalong slightly furrowed his brow and said, “Shooting all at once like this is too wasteful of bullets. Next time, the twenty of us armed with guns will split into four groups and take turns firing.”

Upon hearing Chen Dalong’s words, the people who had been eager to fire showed a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

However, Chen Dalong understood that the team had just been formed. During combat, it was necessary to determine who was in charge of laying down fire, who provided cover, and who delivered the finishing blows. All these things required teamwork and adjusting through several battles.

So, he merely pointed this out before promptly having Li Huosheng quickly divide the team, and then they continued forward.

What followed seemed to be a constant repetition.

Following behind Chen Dalong, the team seemed to have a knack for knowing exactly where the Mutated Animals were hiding, finding them with remarkable precision every time.

Once a target was located, not to mention the two sharpshooters among them, the rest of the veterans could handle it with ease.

Moreover, by splitting into new groups and taking turns to fire, they could avoid the issue of competing for credit.

In this process, to keep a low profile, Chen Dalong didn’t make a point of showcasing his strength.

But even so, he became an increasingly mysterious figure in the eyes of the others.

It was obvious why. Cheng Long always led at the front of the team, encountering the most attacks from Mutated insects.

At least ten Mutated insects attacked him every minute.

Yet, even so, Chen Dalong easily neutralized each and every assault.
