CHAPTER 350: CHAPTER 51: THE TERRIFYING BRIDGEHEAD

Headshotting two Contractors, Su Xiao switched from single shots to continuous shooting.

Bang, bang.

The first shot hit a Contractor’s chest. Through the rifle scope, Su Xiao saw the Contractor stubbornly continuing to run, so he pulled the trigger again. The second bullet fired, and after a burst of blood sprayed from the Contractor’s body, he fell to the ground, and the kill notification appeared.

Having already sniped three Contractors, the remaining five Contractors scattered and fled, attempting to find cover.

But they were positioned at the bridgehead of a lift bridge. Unless they jumped into the sea, they would be exposed in Su Xiao’s line of sight.

The island’s ground was at least fifty meters above sea level, and the waters below were full of reefs, making survival unlikely if they jumped.

Bang, bang...

Su Xiao fired two more shots, a blood mist burst forth, and yet another Contractor fell to the ground.

Turning his scope, Su Xiao relied on his ultra-fast nerve reflex speed and fired a shot.

Bang.

The gunshot rang out, and a headless body fell, exploding directly. Three Contractors remained in view.

The young man with the yellow hair was running fast, his target was the building. At this moment, his heart was filled with fear, there was a sniper on the Justice Tower!

While running, the young man with the yellow hair suddenly felt a numbness in his chest. Because the bullet’s speed was too fast and the kinetic energy too strong, the blood spurted out directly turned into a blood mist, and his body uncontrollably lunged forward.

The young man glanced at his remaining Life Value, nearly scared to tears, he only had 34% Life Value left.

"Don’t kill..."

Bang, the young man’s neck was broken, his eyes dull and lifeless.

On the Justice Tower, Su Xiao immediately shifted his gun’s direction; he remembered there was another male Contractor on the left side, further back was a female Contractor.

The male Contractor was running faster and became Su Xiao’s primary target.

Bang.

Su Xiao fired a shot, realizing that the male Contractor was zigzagging. He quickly fired another shot.

Whoosh~, the bullet flew past the male Contractor, making a breaking void sound. The male Contractor’s legs went weak, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably.

Bang, a slight gunshot rang out again, and the male Contractor, whether from fear or something else, did a forward somersault.

Through the scope, seeing this scene, Su Xiao was momentarily stunned, wondering what this flashy maneuver was. He silently activated the high-speed continuous shooting mode.

Bang, bang, bang...

With the high-speed continuous shooting activated, the recoil of the Spider Queen increased significantly, with noticeable effect. After four shots, Su Xiao received a kill notification, even zigzagging wasn’t enough.

Only one person remained in the scope, the previously mentioned mature woman.

At this moment, the mature woman’s heart was collapsing, nothing was more terrifying than being sniped from a high place.

A trickle of yellow liquid flowed down her fair thigh, but she didn’t care about it. All she could see was cover; without cover, she was dead.

A flowerbed two meters in diameter and one and a half meters high came into her view, and she rushed towards it with a look of wild joy.

Bang.

An arm-thick bullet hole appeared beside the mature woman’s foot, grass clippings, and earth splattering high into the air. She ignored these and leaped behind the flowerbed.

That deathly gunfire disappeared, and the mature woman sighed in relief; this cover could block the enemy’s bullets.

Bang.

Concrete debris flew up behind the mature woman, and she quickly curled up into a ball in fright.

Bang, bang...

The gunfire grew more urgent, and the flowerbed she used for cover was shattered by a third. A bullet whizzed past her ear, breaking her hair and making her cheek feel a burning sensation.

The gunfire ceased, with one bullet remaining in the magazine. Su Xiao locked onto the flowerbed; if the enemy dashed out from the cover, he was confident in landing a headshot.

Running enemies might cause him to miss, but he wouldn’t miss those who burst out from cover.

The mature woman was extremely desperate; she dared not go out, certain the sniper was watching her.

"What to do, what to do..."

Taking a deep breath, the mature woman quickly thought of a plan; running out would be tantamount to giving her head away. The nearest building was at least five meters away.

After thinking for a long time, the mature woman decided to use the most primitive and common method: surrender!

She checked her clothing and found nothing white. After undoing her top, she discovered her bra was black, too. Suddenly, she remembered she had something white on her: her panties.

Su Xiao locked onto the flowerbed; he had only one bullet left, with only one chance.

While he concentrated on aiming, a shaky triangular ’white cloth’ tied to a twig extended from behind the flowerbed, swaying left and right.

"Is this... a surrender?"

Su Xiao placed his finger on the trigger, ready to fire at any moment.

A fair arm poked out from behind the flowerbed, seemingly probing. With only one bullet remaining, Su Xiao didn’t shoot.

In that fair hand were a few items: two crystal-clear Crystal Stones and a card.

Su Xiao took a close look; they were two Soul Crystals (small) and a 6000 Paradise coin savings card.

"Is this enough? I just want to live; I don’t want the Netherworld blueprints anymore, nor do I dare to think about them."

The mature woman yelled, but Su Xiao didn’t respond.

"We have no grudges; opposed only by mission. There’s no need for a total massacre, and I’ve not seen your face, so there’s no possibility of revenge."

The mature woman knew she’d die at this rate, so she might as well try buying her life, hoping there might still be a slim chance. As long as it wasn’t faced with a perverse killing maniac, a rational Contractor would agree. Killing her might yield a Scarlet Card, but sparing her could earn two Soul Crystals and 6000 Paradise coins.

She threw the Soul Crystals and Paradise Coin Savings Card to the left of the flowerbed and ran to the right; the Soul Crystals could attract the enemy’s attention.

Su Xiao didn’t shoot; they indeed had no grudges, and sniping these people was just due to the mission. The other party gave up the mission and left money to buy her life. But if she appeared again, the buying wouldn’t work. No matter how many benefits she provided, Su Xiao would snipe her.

Of the eight Contractors, one escaped, leaving four Scarlet Cards, two Soul Crystals (small), and a 6000 Paradise coin savings card on the lawn near the lift bridge.

These items shone with a variety of colors on the lawn, but Su Xiao didn’t go to pick them up since it wasn’t yet the time.

The sound of gunfire drew attention, and the CP Department in the Justice Tower weren’t blind nor deaf, quickly realizing what was happening.

In less than a minute, Luffy and Kalifa rushed to the roof.

With a clang, Luffy kicked open the iron door. Su Xiao only glanced at him before turning back, ejecting the magazine from the Spider Queen, and began reloading it.

Kalifa’s pupils contracted upon seeing Su Xiao, recalling past events, silently lamenting how this guy had returned.

Luffy stepped onto the rooftop, asking coldly, "What are you doing?"

"Killing enemies."

With the magazine full, Su Xiao inserted it back in, pulling the bolt to chamber the next bullet.

"Killing enemies? You’d better explain why you’re on top of the Justice Tower."

Luffy slowly approached; Su Xiao tossed him a badge.

"Guard the Justice Tower; someone is here to rescue Nico Robin."

Luffy took the badge, his expression slightly changing.

"Can you ensure the enemy can’t approach the Justice Tower?"

Su Xiao was sniping the enemy from the Justice Tower, and he was presently part of the Navy and had some connections with the CP Department, making his identity special.

"I can’t."

Su Xiao could only snipe the enemy for twenty minutes, and five minutes had already passed.

Luffy pondered for a moment. Pirates were attacking Enies Lobby, and some inexplicable enemies appeared. Having someone sniping from the roof was beneficial.

"Kalifa, monitor his movements."

Kalifa felt a pang of bitterness in her heart; she didn’t want to stay here, but the mission required it, and as a special agent, she couldn’t disobey the captain’s order.

"Yes."

Wearing a tight black dress, Kalifa stood outside the iron door, seemingly not intending to step onto the rooftop.

Luffy hurriedly left; he had many things to do and had come just to assess the situation.

"We’re alone again, Miss Kalifa."

Having Kalifa standing guard wasn’t bad, but maintaining appropriate vigilance was necessary.
