Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic-Chapter 73 - 70: The Slaughter
Chapter 73: Chapter 70: The Slaughter
The two new members of the Night Slayer Team were both startled by Lei Wu and the others’ decision.
Although they knew that the Night Slayer Team had always acted recklessly,
openly attacking other hunting teams within the Sanctuary was still somewhat beyond their imagination.
One of the new scouts couldn’t help but cautiously say, "Deputy Captain, shouldn’t we wait and see first? After all, those are other hunting teams, not Radiation Beasts. Even if we really want to attack, we should get the captain’s approval first..."
"Pfft!"
Before he finished speaking, his throat was directly pierced by a war knife, blood splattering and staining the hand Lei Wu held the knife with!
"Gurgle...gurgle"
The new scout’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Lei Wu, who showed no expression on his face. His hands reached futilely towards his neck, trying to pull out the knife stuck in his throat.
But he ultimately failed, blood spraying everywhere as his artery was completely severed, causing his pupils to rapidly dilate. Within seconds, his body staggered backward and he fell, dying instantly on the spot!
"Dead...he’s dead!?"
The other new scout was utterly terrified and broke down at the sight before him.
It wasn’t until Lei Wu looked at him expressionlessly that he snapped back to his senses, his voice trembling, "Deputy Captain, I have no objections, none at all. I will do as you say..."
"Pfft!"
He frantically pleaded for his life, retreating constantly, afraid that Lei Wu would also slash his throat.
Luckily, after killing that scout, the fanatical bloodthirstiness in Lei Wu’s eyes subsided a bit. He didn’t move forward anymore but coldly looked at him: "No objections, huh? Then get over there and pick a suitable ambush point! Be quick, understand?!"
"Yes, yes!"
The scout quickly trembled his way into the withered grass, squeezing out his potential under immense fear.
Soon, he found an excellent vantage point for Lei Wu and the others.
It was a small hill. While not high, it was enough for Lei Wu and his small team to hide.
As long as the ninth team passed by, they could round the hill from the back and attack from above, catching the ninth team off guard!
After setting up the ambush.
Lei Wu held his breath, his eyes scanning over the withered grass, listening intently, waiting for the ninth team to approach. As time passed, the bloodthirsty intent in his eyes became more intense.
"Don’t panic. Once the ninth team is within range, aim at Yang Lie first. Once he’s dealt with, the rest will be easier to handle, got it?"
Lei Wu instructed in a low voice.
Behind him, the old members of the Night Slayer Team nodded silently, one by one imagining the scene after their assault, picturing the members of the ninth team being easily slaughtered by them, their eyes filled with a sick excitement growing more pronounced.
Even that new scout, under such an atmosphere, lost his initial fear, gripping the gun in his hand tightly, and in his eyes, a pathological and strange bloodthirsty gleam, akin to the other veteran members, began to shine!
Just then.
From the other side of the withered grass.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle—!"
A strange sound suddenly arose, the noise of something moving through the grass, catching Lei Wu and the others, whose nerves had been taut, off guard for a moment.
"Radiation Hyenas?"
"Why would a pack of hyenas suddenly appear around here..."
A member of the old Night Slayer Team couldn’t help but mutter while looking in the direction of the noise, eyes filled with confusion.
He had been in the hunting team long enough. Although not a professional scout, he could distinguish the sound of Radiation Beasts moving through dense grasslands.
This rustling sound, even a Radiation Wolf couldn’t make it; only radiation beasts as small as Radiation Hyenas would produce such a noise.
"Send a few people to check it out, don’t let those creatures alarm the ninth team!"
Lei Wu’s face also turned grim as he coldly ordered.
"Yes!"
Immediately, a few of the older members of the Night Slayer Team stood up excitedly.
To them at this moment,
whether it was killing Radiation Hyenas or killing other people, as long as they could slaughter, it was a good thing!
Watching them get up,
Lei Wu felt a bit relieved himself and couldn’t help but also glance toward the source of the noise, eyes showing a hint of agitation.
He too wanted to deal with those disturbing Radiation Hyenas, to relieve the inexplicable surge of bloodthirst in his heart.
But the hatred for Su Yu, for the ninth team, became at this moment a sedative that helped him maintain calm, forcing him to suppress that bloodthirst and stay behind the hill.
Compared to killing Radiation Hyenas,
being able to see Su Yu and Yang Lie fall in their ambush and personally kill them would be the greatest pleasure.
As Lei Wu thought, he retrieved his gaze from the patch of withered grass, but just as he was about to turn his head, reinforced by the strength of a Level Two Intermediate Extraordinary Physical Body, his vision, far surpassing that of an ordinary person, caught an unusual reflection under the sunlight.
Reflection?
Even the strongest Radiation Hyena Lord would not develop such things as scale armor...
Lei Wu’s mind whirred, and the next second, he finally reacted. No longer caring if he would expose his team’s location, he shouted loudly, "Get back here! That’s not Radiation Hyenas—"
"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!!!"
The next second.
On the back of the hill where Lei Wu and the others were ambushed in the withered grass, one by one, cavalry units had already sneaked within a hundred meters behind them, and at this moment opened fire simultaneously, under the heavy fire coverage, immediately turning those few Night Slayer members, who were ordered by Lei Wu to investigate the noise, into sieves on the spot!
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!!"
Clouds of blood mist continuously exploded from their bodies, rendering the remaining Night Slayer Team members momentarily stunned in place.
Until Lei Wu’s roar reached them, they came back to their senses, each looking at the cavalry rising from the withered grass, eyes flickering between terror and bloodthirst, ultimately under Lei Wu’s furious shout, they all followed Lei Wu, launching an assault on those cavalry!
However, a combat swarm composed of ten cavalry units could encircle and kill even a Radiation Beast King of the three-star level.
Let alone now, with the element of surprise.
Even if Lei Wu and the others, under that bizarre bloodthirsty influence, had their strength escalated, it still couldn’t change the endgame of this battle!
And off in the distance, the ninth team’s cart, with gunfire erupting, also suddenly accelerated.
Yang Lie, Zhang Wu, and Li Mao, the three Transcendents, directly jumped off the cart, advanced on their own, rushing to the forefront of the team, witnessing the scene that was almost one-sided, almost like slaughter, left them at a loss for words!
