Chapter 42 Direct Conflict
However, ashes had just aimed at the strong man, and before he could pull the hammer, the situation changed again-
Two more people appeared in his field of vision. Judging from their outfits, these two people should be in the same group as the strong man. The three of them formed a triangle formation, maintaining a distance of about fifty meters between them, and were constantly approaching the supply point.
The other party's intentions were already obvious, and they were searching for themselves!
The footprints left on the snow provided these people with eye-catching clues. No matter where the ashes ran, they could track them like sharks that smelled blood...
What's more, Ashes do not have an advantage in physical fitness compared to these strong men. In addition, the thick snow will slow down his speed to a great extent. If he chooses to escape, it will not take long to be caught up by these people.
All three people must be killed.
The advantage of Ashes is this simple flintstone and one of the few initiatives, and the fatal range of the flintstone is twenty meters... No, if you want to ensure that you must kill one blow, you must shoot within ten meters.
After each shot of a single-tube front flints, the barrel must be cleaned, the gunpowder and projectiles must be refilled. At the speed of ashes, it will take about fifteen seconds to fire the second shot.
Fifteen seconds were enough for the other two to rush forward - the other party did not have any means of long-range attacks. The hand axe they hung was itself a medium-range weapon that could be thrown. The axe handle of the hand axe also added an additional counterweight for maintaining balance. The killing effect in the hands of skilled people is no less than that of the flint gun in the hands of the ashes.
The throwing distance of the hand axe is about fifteen meters, and the accuracy is slightly lower than the flint gun in Ash's hand. If he is lucky enough, he still has a chance to fire a second shot... As for the last person, he may have to go close to the battle to solve the problem.
Ashes hid in the dead corners formed by the tent and tree trunks, holding the flintstorm filled with ammunition in his hand, slowly adjusting the rhythm of his breathing... He had to kill with one blow in the first shot, and only in this way could he seize that glimmer of hope.
The three people had already seen footprints near the tent. Due to the heavy snow, the footprints were difficult to erase. In addition, every time they pulled their legs out of the snow pile and walked forward, they left obvious traces of movement. The other party quickly determined that the ashes did not leave the place.
"That boy is still here! He hasn't left yet! Kill him! The three of us don't have to go to the execution ground!" The bald strong man in the head shouted excitedly. The scorching gas gushed out of his mouth and nose touched the cold air in the forest, and a large piece of white mist suddenly formed, just like steam gushing out of the machine.
"Be careful, the target should be ambushing us. That is the reserve for the special forces. Don't underestimate the opponent!" Another prisoner said. They did not know the existence of the Huangquan Training Camp. They only knew that this was the introductory assessment of a certain empire's "special forces". As long as they can kill the targets participating in the assessment, their death penalty can be pardoned...
"We had served in the Pioneer Camp at the time, and we were still afraid of such new recruits who had never even been on the battlefield-"
Before the bald strong man in the lead finished speaking, Ashes had already poked out half of his body from the back of the tent, pointed the muzzle at his chest, and pushed away the snail under the hammer!
The hammer with flint embedded in the front fell heavily on the fire door, and the splashing Mars instantly lit the flammable black gunpowder-
“Bao!!”
Huge gunfire sounded in the forest, causing snow on the cedar branches and leaves to fall down, and the strong man in the head looked down at his chest with some disbelief - a blood hole the size of a fist appeared in the heart. At this distance, the lead bullet was extremely lethal to the unprotected target.
His lips buzzed a few times, but no sound could be made. Then, he fell straight backwards and fell into the thick snow pile.
With the large amount of smoke emitted from the muzzle as a cover, the ashes once again retracted to the back of the trunk, and a simple pass made of branches and rags was stabbed into the barrel - the flintstone must clean up the residue of the residual black powder in the gun chamber after firing, otherwise the next shot will be silenced or exploded.
"The target is hiding behind the tent! He beat Il to death!"
"He has a gun in his hand! Hurry up, kill him while he is still loading ammunition!"
Seeing that his accomplice was killed by ashes, the other two prisoners instantly accelerated their pace, carried their axes and rushed towards the hiding place of Ashes!
...
At the same time, outside the assessment area.
Yuri was squatting on a wooden stake and smoking a cigarette he had rolled himself. At this time, a faint gunshot came from the forest. He threw away the cigarette he had just lit and jumped off the stake with horror.
"Damn it... this is the sound of a flintstorm! What the hell is going on?!"
After a month of training and getting along, Yuri was very sure that Ash had fully mastered the ability to independently manufacture the improved zero-zero steam gun. According to the expected amount of materials, he could only barely create such a steam gun that cut corners. It was impossible for him to assemble a flintstone... In the case of a steam gun, no one could choose to use the flintstone as his main weapon...
And the most important point is... just a few hours have passed now. Logically, the boy Ash should still be dealing with the materials and parts in the preparation area!
This is a postponed assessment, and he is the only one participating in the assessment. This gunshot should never appear in theory!
"What's going on! Why did I hear the sound of the flint gun?" Yuri rushed to a soldier not far away, pulled him over, and asked sternly.
"Sir... Sir, I don't know what you mean..." He was a soldier who was responsible for guarding the borders of the assessment area and belonged to the peripheral force of the Huangquan Training Camp. Agents like Yuri can be regarded as their superiors. Although Yuri did not have the power to directly command them, these soldiers did not dare to offend him easily.
"The guy who participated in the assessment is half of my apprentice! According to the plan I made for him, he should still assemble weapons in the preparation area, but why did gunfire appear in the assessment area?! Have you changed the assessment content without authorization?!" Yuri seemed a little angry, and he realized that things had completely gone out of his control.
"I...I don't know... Sir, our task is to guard the boundaries of the assessment area and enter the assessment area to save people when we receive a distress signal... You should ask the instructor for this kind of thing..."
"Damn it--" Yuri let go of the soldier in his hand and cursed viciously. Even if the assessment content has been changed, the assessment has begun now. With the authority he has, there is no way to stop the assessment. Everything can only depend on Ashes' own ability.
