Warehouse No.2.
The door opened itself to reveal a large space inside.
Both Rod and Su Lu walked in together, alertly.
There were still many blocks of ice around, with wisps of white air spreading and rolling on the ground.
“Rod, you broke your promise!”
A hoarse voice came from the depths, “We asked for you alone to come!”
“I brought my brother with me, he isn’t an outsider!”
Rod loudly stated, his words echoing continuously in the warehouse.
Thud!
Green flames suddenly ignited in the corner. Under the eerie light, two people walked out of the darkness, holding a hostage with a burlap bag over his head, “Did you come to negotiate?”
“Release Sean now! He knows nothing about this!”
Su Lu played the role of an irritable younger brother quite well, shouting loudly.
“Apologies…”
One of the robbers threatened the hostage’s neck with a dagger, “As long as you agree to a few things, we will release the hostage! First, return our sacred scriptures immediately; Second, swear to us that from now on, you will not be our enemy…”
“Heh…so much nonsense!”
After Rod gave Su Lu a quick glance, he saw Su Lu shaking his head with an ugly expression, “It’s not him!”
In front of a [Spirit Medium], all fake disguises were useless, because Spirit Mediums used their intuition to observe things!
“Third…’
While the robber was talking, Rod who was signaled was already impatient, pulled out a dagger and threw it fiercely.
Thud!
With the augmentation of the demonic force, the dagger pierced directly into the ‘hostage’s’ neck, splattering blood!
“You!”
The two robbers were stunned, they seemed unable to imagine that Rod would be so brutal.
The next moment, the hostage fell to the ground, with the burlap bag falling from his head, revealing a face completely different from Sean’s. “Since both sides have shown such insincerity, why don’t we just fight!”
Rod took out his revolver and grinned menacingly.
Boom!
At the same time, Su Lu immediately activated his Spirit Oppression, well, Spirit Inhibition!
But the effect this time was obviously not as good as against ordinary people.
In the face of such oppression, the two people on the other side just paused for a moment, immediately reacted, and showed black-purple light from their hands, indicating a negative-energy field.
“A first-grade [Apprentice]? Or a second-grade [Doomsayer]?”
Su Lu didn’t know, but for those with professions in the magical arts, their mental resistance was obviously high, and they reacted quickly to put up a defense.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Rod fired three shots without reservation. Two of the bullets were deflected by the force field, but one hit a robber’s chest, splattering blood instantly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, more gunshots came from the outside, apparently, that was Jack from the Federal Eleventh Bureau in action.
“Spirit Thorn! ”
Upon seeing the remaining robber, Su Lu immediately used his skill, directing a mental spike towards the opponent’s mind.
Highly concentrated mental energy had a much more singular, but direct effect than spirit oppression.
“Seems like it’s a first-grade [Apprentice], only capable of a few tricks, and low in spirit power!” Su Lu heaved a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Rod stepped forward, ruthlessly and methodically killing them one by one: “Remember… at the first and second stages, firearms can play a massive role. That’s why second-rank [Gunfighters] are often the top of the second-rank professions!”
The difference between humans and animals lies in having wisdom and the skill to utilize external objects!
Su Lu accepted the lesson and followed Rod in killing and searching bodies. They quickly moved outside to reinforce the others.
Under the cover of night, Warehouse No. 6 continued to buzz with activity, and the sound of firearms echoed non-stop.
It seemed that Jack and his team had hit the jackpot; the enemy’s main forces had all gathered there.
“Don’t underestimate the power of the Federation. The [Gunfighter] profession initially developed from the army…and a group of [Soldiers] equipped with firearms, even against third-rank experts can pose a great danger once they are targeted!”
Rod seized the opportunity to teach.
Su Lu was captivated by the scene before him:
Around Warehouse No. 6, one skeleton after another climbed from the ground. Some were still wearing metal armor, armed with weapons, battling fiercely with a group of Black Death Society followers in black robes, and agents from the Eleventh Bureau.
In all of this, Jack’s performance was particularly eye-catching.
Wearing a black coat, guns in both hands, he moved through the night like a reaper harvesting lives.
Bang!
A bullet left the chamber, ricocheted off the ground, cleverly avoiding obstacles and hitting a blind spot. Although it had lost a significant amount of momentum after the one bounce, the ferocious bullet still easily ripped through the body of a person in a black robe, robbing him of life and leaving him on the ground.
“A bullet that can change direction? Is this gunfighting skill?”
Su Lu widened his eyes, muttering to himself.
“[Necromancers] are good at group attacks, but they’re very fragile, like any other magic professions. As with a few special professions, your [Spirit Medium] is no exception – it can be targeted easily!”
Rod said in a deep voice.
“I understand!” Su Lu took a deep breath, recalling the gun shot aimed at Catherine.
The sense of danger from it was very similar to what he was witnessing now.
“Damn… it’s the Federation’s black-skinned hyenas!”
From inside Warehouse No.6, a disgruntled voice echoed out.
“Pasno! The Federation’s C-rank criminal, suspected of multiple poisonings and murders!”
Jack’s gunshots didn’t cease. The curved bullet trajectory could even penetrate the layers of skeleton defenses, extinguishing their core soul fire: “In the name of the Federation, I give you judgement!”
“Lately, the Federation and the church have been very sensitive to people like this…”
Next to Su Lu, Rod lowered his voice: “Because they ascended to the level of experts and masters during the Twilight of the Gods, they have invaluable experience and profound resources. With the dawn’s arrival, there’s a chance for them to break through further… That’s why, we must crush them completely. Before they develop any further!” “I understand!”
Su Lu nodded seriously to show he understood.
Rod was warning him not to provoke the Federation because of gaining a bit of superhuman power, or he would certainly meet a terrible end.
At that moment, Pasno’s hoarse voice continued to echo from the warehouse, murmuring deeply:
“I curse you!”
“In the name of the undead…”
“Your power will leave you! Your steps will be slowed down! Your body… will gradually decay!”
This was the curse ability of the [Necromancer].
With the spell, a green mark appeared on Pasno’s body.
His movements became sluggish, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched minutely as if he was under immense pain.
Just then,
Boom!
A wall of the warehouse exploded, and several fully-armed [Soldier] agents rushed in.
Bang bang bang!
The firearms continued to sound.
“That [Necromancer] is done for!”
Watching the collapsed skeletons in the field, Rod asserted with confidence..
