Chapter 163 - Rewind by 10 seconds

The tactical suit on Lan Qi's left shoulder had been torn. A bloody wound could clearly be seen; it had been caused by a bullet wound. Lan Qi didn't have time to bandage his wound. He only had the pocket type hemostatic spray made from simple materials. However, as long as he made a big move, the wound that had already congealed a film of blood would be torn apart again. However, there was nothing more important than killing Zero.

He goaded Zero, trying to locate him and plan his next move. However, Zero was more composed than he had imagined. This was also within Lan Qi's expectations. If it was so easy to scheme against Zero, it would be impossible for him to leave the Death God Ridge.

Lan Qi heard the sound of a sniper rifle before he could finish his sentence. He was stunned. Unless he carried a single-handed missile, it was impossible to penetrate the concrete floor with just a sniper rifle. As this thought flashed through Lan Qi's mind, he felt the floor shake violently. Lan Qi looked at the floor underneath his feet in disbelief. Following that, a red light began to rise from the concrete building.

The blazing hot stream of air soared upwards, and Lan Qi instantly realized what had happened.

Explosion!

Before he could do anything to avoid it, a small explosion occurred under his feet. No matter how small the explosion was, it had always been an air blast. Lan Qi was unable to avoid the laws of physics, and was sent flying a few meters away. He barely managed to bump into a cutting machine bed. Fortunately, he managed to deflect the force of the impact with a rolling motion. Lan Qi finally stopped beside the machine tool.

Lan Qi's ears were still buzzing from the close range explosion. He shook his head vigorously. In his blurry vision, he appeared on the stairs to the second floor, leaving afterimages behind him.

While Colt was firing, Zero pushed the speed of his Dexterity to the limit. He dashed toward the stairs on the second floor at a speed approaching the speed of sound. He still had time to pull out two large-caliber revolvers from behind Colt's back even though he had already disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As he rushed up the stairs, Zero took advantage of the momentum and slid across the floor. At the same time, he fired a pair of revolvers at Lan Qi, who was about to stand up!

"Bang, bang, bang ~ ~ ~"

Flames flashed, gunshots roared, and the M500's special warheads hit the ground and the machine tools, shooting up into the sky. They were like fairies as they rushed towards Lan Qi. However, if these fatal fairies were touched by them, Lan Qi could just lie down and take care of them.

Unless one had the ability to grow defense in the combat arena, who would dare to face the ferocious fangs of an M500? Even the third stage of defense, Scarlet Wolf, was badly mutilated from the blast from the pair of revolvers, let alone Lan Qi, who didn't even have a first stage defense.

However, Lan Qi's reaction was fast as well.

The vulture in his hand immediately moved in the direction of the bullet. At the same time, Lan Qi fiercely rolled forward and also bounced into the machine behind him.

The impact from Zero's glide on the ground caused a cloud of choking gray smoke as he slid directly into a tool rack. Following that, he shook his hands and pulled out the left wheel's drum, shaking the hot bullets to the ground. He inserted it into the loader at the back of his waist, and when he pulled out the pistol, the ammunition was filled again.

On the other side, Lan Qi was breathing heavily.

It had to be said that this unexpected attack from Zero had indeed made Lan Qi suffer. Lan Qi had two extra gunshot wounds to his thigh and waist after the gash from the plow on his shoulder. This was also the result of Raging Vulture blocking two bullets with his spear. Otherwise, Lan Qi's injuries would have been even worse.

He looked at the love gun. The M500's shooting kinetic energy was not just for show. If the Raging Vulture's gun had not been made of a vertical composite, Lan Qi's gun would have been scrapped by now. It was already extremely fortunate that the butt of the spear was only half damaged.

As for Lan Qi's hand holding the gun, the gash in his palm naturally ruptured. However, compared to the two new wounds on his body, it was negligible.

Lan Qi quickly took out the hemostatic spray and applied it to the two wounds. His waist was only scratched by bullets. Although he was injured, it didn't hurt his internal organs. However, his thigh wasn't so lucky. The bullet had shot straight into his leg, and now it was stuck next to his leg bone. Because of the pressure from the blood vessels and nerves, Lan Qi's entire thigh was numb. He frowned deeply. This would cause a great deal of trouble in his operation.

The black man made a decision at once.

He threw the remaining grenade in the direction of Zero. As the grenade exploded, Lan Qi jumped up with one leg and threw himself behind another carrying pillar. He made a somersaulting motion as he hit the ground. Lan Qi used this time to adjust his posture. Before he reached the back of the pillar, he used his automatic rifle to shoot in the direction of the explosion.

Not seeking to harm the enemy, first seeking self-preservation.

With the grenade and the pressure from the bullets, Lan Qi pulled away from Zero. He did not hesitate to pull out the dagger and stab into the wound on his leg without disinfection. Lan Qi directly used his dagger to pull the bullet out of his leg. Then, he tore off the sleeve of his battle uniform and used it as a bandage to tie up his thigh. After all this, his forehead was covered in sweat, and even his normally steady hands began to tremble slightly.

Lan Qi was about to poke his head out to see what was going on, but when he saw Fang's small head, he had no choice but to retract it. Following that, the sounds of guns being fired rang out. Lan Qi's column of support was constantly shaken by the explosion of the zero bullets. The concrete of the column began to crack, and the crack of the thumb ran upward. Lan Qi wouldn't be surprised if the column collapsed in the next second.

Now, however, with both hands holding the gun, Lan Qi couldn't move at all. He had no choice but to hide behind the pillar and wait for the last bullet to hit him.

If Zero held a minicomputer, the suppression would last for a while. Unfortunately, while the M500 was very powerful, the amount of ammunition it could load was limited. In just a moment of shooting, it had already been loaded with ammunition. He had to hide behind a tracked machine tool and reload it.

However, the firepower had reduced the distance between him and Lan Qi from the original ten meters to four to five meters.

The blood stains on the ground indicated that Lan Qi was injured, but he was in no hurry to attack. Like him, Lan Qi was a hungry wolf wandering in the wilderness. Although he was injured, he definitely had the ability to counterattack. As long as he was careless, the advantage that Zero had fought so hard to gain would probably be taken over by someone else.

Everything was unknown until the opponent died.

He even closed his eyes and listened only to the sounds coming from the factory. As long as Lan Qi made a move, Zero would immediately know. However, Zero did not hear what Lan Qi was doing. Instead, he heard a clock like "di di di" sound from the hiding spot of the machine.

His voice was very regular, and Zero suddenly felt a chill. Ignoring Lan Qi, he stretched out his hand to touch the bottom of the machine tool. After fumbling around for a while, Zero finally found something. He grabbed the thing and pulled it out to have a look, and his pupils immediately contracted.

In his hand was a black box. There was a digital watch on the box. The numbers on the watch were countdown. When he looked at the red and blue color on the watch, they reached into the black box. Zero immediately determined that this was a time bomb. He also knew why Sauron was so sure that he would die in the factory, because he had decided to sacrifice Lange and blow up Zero and the blacks on this dueling stage.

There should be a lot of such bombs, enough to make it too late to escape.

There were only ten seconds left until the explosion!
