INSIDER Chapter 111

Sensing danger, Song Gui quickly instructed everyone, “Hide first!”

The six of them immediately split up, each hiding behind different cover while cautiously observing the armored vehicle and watching out for an ambush from those in the villa.

The spacious and clean road was empty, with only a heavily armored tank passing by.

The tank approached with considerable noise but soon stopped not far from them after failing to find a target. A man poked his head out from the top of the tank, then climbed out and sat on the tank, saying to those inside, “There’s no one on the street here. How are we supposed to play this live hunting game? My cousin said it would be fun. Is he kidding me?”

Another person, a well-dressed woman, climbed out of the tank. She wiped her fingers, which had touched the edge of the tank, with a handkerchief and fluttered her long, mascaraed eyelashes. “Right? Can this hunting company even deliver? I bet Julie yesterday on who would kill the most prey. The loser has to pay for the winner’s makeup and bags for a year.”

The man asked, “What did the staff inside the tank say?”

The woman, with a haughty and disdainful attitude, replied, “They said the thermal life detector is malfunctioning and needs repairs, so they can’t detect if anyone is nearby. Hmph, I want to file a complaint.”

The man also expressed his frustration, “The cleansing day has been going on for almost two hours, and we haven’t caught a single prey. It’s so boring!”

At this moment, another man climbed out of the tank, lighting a cigarette. “How about we just rush into those houses?”

“I think that’s a good idea,” the woman casually flicked her carefully groomed hair, her tone as natural as discussing what to eat today. “If they won’t come out, we should go in and kill them ourselves. I want to try out my shooting skills. Ask the hunting company staff inside if they can pick locks, or should we just blow the doors open?”

Lu Chu, who had been watching their actions, exchanged a glance with 7, not far away.

Song Gui and the others also became serious, preparing for battle.

Compared to their current weapons, the difference between them and the armored vehicle’s occupants was like that between beginners and regular players. The gap now was so vast that directly confronting them would be like hitting a stone with an egg. Unless they could quickly infiltrate the tank and control the personnel inside, they had no chance of winning. However, they didn’t even know how many people were inside the tank, so they couldn’t rashly approach.

The three people on the armored vehicle were clearly wealthy individuals who paid for entertainment. They didn’t seem tough, but they had lethal weapons. Even if they were lousy shots, it would still be a big problem.

Furthermore, this “live hunting game” was designed to provide those bored rich folks with thrilling entertainment on cleansing day. The event was all about giving elite equipment to slaughter civilians, ensuring the best experience for their esteemed clients. Therefore, the company must have protective measures for their customers.

There must be several armed bodyguards in the tank.

From a distance, Song Gui mouthed to Lu Chu, “What now?”

Lu Chu gestured to wait.

Lu Chu continued to observe the armored tank, focusing on the movements of the three people on top. If they had ranged weapons, he might have a plan. For now, they had to wait and see.

The players in the villa also watched the scene outside, not daring to move.

As they watched the tank, a man in camouflage emerged from it, respectfully whispering something to the three people. The three became alert and excited, scanning the surroundings, then followed the man back into the tank.

Lu Chu sensed something was wrong. They must have repaired the life detection instrument.

Sure enough, the man who had previously poked his head out now wore a bulletproof helmet and eagerly scanned the surroundings with a rifle, listening to instructions through his earpiece. Following the directions, he aimed and then grinned viciously, pulling the trigger.

He aimed at Lu Chu’s hiding spot.

Lu Chu reacted swiftly, rolling out from behind his cover as the man aimed. Unfortunately, the man’s poor shooting skills meant he missed slightly, hitting where Lu Chu had rolled to.

The bullet grazed Lu Chu’s shoulder, burning his exposed skin.

Seeing this, 7’s breath caught, his eyes darkening with a deadly chill.

He knew Lu Chu could dodge the shot, but he hadn’t expected the shooter to accidentally hit him.

On the other side, the shooter became more excited upon seeing someone roll out from behind the cover, nearly hitting them. He prepared to shoot again. However, before he could, a tall, stern man emerged from behind a tree.

The first man had a saw as a weapon, but the new man was empty-handed. Yet, despite his lack of weapons, his icy presence was palpable even from a distance. His eyes were filled with an intense killing intent, making him look like a devil from the depths of hell, instilling fear.

7 walked to Lu Chu’s side, examining the bullet graze on his right shoulder with a pained expression.

He picked up Lu Chu, carried him to cover, and then turned to face the tank. The man on the tank felt his blood freeze, unable to pull the trigger despite aiming at his target.

7 walked toward the tank without dodging.

The man on the tank panicked, hastily firing. 7 easily dodged the bullets with graceful, fluid movements as if they were in slow motion, steadily approaching the tank.

Panicking, the man started firing wildly but soon ducked into the tank when it proved futile. The people inside, monitoring the situation, also panicked. They had never seen such a formidable man who could dodge bullets barehanded.

He wasn’t human; he was a monster.

Two burly men in camouflage quickly emerged, one with an AK-47 and the other with a Gatling gun, aiming at 7.

Without hesitation, the trained men opened fire. Bullets flew, but even the rapid-fire Gatling gun couldn’t stop 7, who remained unscathed and calmly approached the tank.

Desperation filled the men’s eyes. “Lin! Use the tank cannon! Aim at the first man!”

The tank’s cannon swiveled toward Lu Chu’s hiding spot.

7’s pupils shrank. He moved swiftly, leaping to the tank. He pulled the two men in front of the cannon and, with a single kick, tilted the several-ton tank. The cannon lost its aim, firing and blowing the two men into pieces.

Blood and body parts flew everywhere.

The entire process took only seconds.

Yuan Kejie gaped, “Whoa…”

Song Gui could hardly believe his eyes.

Luo Qi and Qian Zhen, designated as Song Gui’s firepower, were already impressed by 7’s commanding presence. Now, they looked at him with even greater admiration.

Yuan Kejie stared in amazement for a moment before murmuring, “Perhaps this is what it means to be a big shot…”

But being worldly and quick to adapt, Song Gui immediately snapped out of it and said to the others, “Charge!”

The group quickly advanced towards the armored vehicle, entering through the opening at the top and neutralizing everyone inside who had tried to harm them.

7 had already stopped, bringing Lu Chu near the armored vehicle.

After clearing out the bodies of the extra people, the group entered the armored tank.

Yuan Kejie looked at the luxurious armored vehicle and its various types of machine guns and bulletproof vests, stunned and excited, “Wow, we’ve hit the jackpot. This span… it’s like going from a newbie village newbie to the first in the guild with god-tier equipment.”

Song Gui felt that having Qi Li on their side was just great.

Gaining a powerful ally meant fewer dangerous enemies.
