42. Assassination of the Brigadier General (Part 1)

"You dare not listen to me, you fool!" Hans Hunter turned with his sword, speaking in anger.

"Enough! What a display of brotherly love!"

Marley did not give Hans Hunter a fair chance for a decisive battle. Seizing the moment when Hans Hunter turned, she swiftly approached and plunged a dagger into his heart from under his ribs.

"You despicable wretch!" Hans Hunter had also been deceived by Marley. Indeed! How could these dark undead creatures speak of honor like this to humans and offer a fair fight? As Marley closed in on Hans Hunter, he could even smell the putrid stench emanating from her, her breath on the back of his neck making him shiver uncontrollably. He quickly turned and grabbed the dagger, but she still managed to pierce his defenses, preventing him from catching his breath.

"Heh heh! You are, after all, a general! Don't you know that treachery is my motto?" With a mouthful of yellow and black rotten teeth, Marley's other hand pierced through Hans Hunter's ribs, casting aside his entrails, causing his bowels to spill out.

"Brother! What do we do? Do we help or not? The Hunter's Code states that we have no mercy for the dark undead. We must exterminate them on sight!"

Sam's brother asked.

"You see how many hunters are waiting here. But why hasn't anyone moved? It's true that there's such a code, but you also have to consider the circumstances. Clearly, there are more dark undead controlling this situation. "

Sam tightly gripped his automatic rifle. Although hunting down the dark undead was their honor and livelihood, now was obviously not the time to be earning a living.

"But if no one takes the lead and everyone just watches, no one will ever act."

Clearly, this hot-blooded young man, looking at these monsters slaughtering humans, was somewhat indignant.

"That's life, isn't it?"

In this post-apocalyptic world, where everything is magnified, the last remnants of humanity's conscience are tightly wrapped up. Only in this way can one survive better!

Faced with Hans Hunter's dire situation, his special forces soldiers did not blindly return fire. Instead, they individually shot and sniped the approaching undead. If it weren't for their support, Hans Hunter might have died even more quickly. In such a critical moment, they absolutely could not let familial ties cloud their judgment.

Despite having his lower abdomen torn open by Marley, Hans Hunter suddenly burst into a hearty laughter, his voice hoarse as he roared, "It seems that today, I really will die here."

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

With that, he crushed the capsule in his teeth. This was a drug more powerful than the elixir of life. It was a highly concentrated toxin, and its effects were stronger.

Hans Hunter's black pupils abruptly shrank and then expanded, with tiny blood vessels bursting within his eyeballs, turning them blood red. Hans Hunter's heart began to pound forcefully. With a powerful lunge, he sent Marley flying, his overwhelming aura towering like a mountain.

"This is getting interesting!"

Marley licked the blood off her hands. Whenever she smelled such fresh flesh, she couldn't help but feel excited. Even now, with Hans Hunter's bowels spilling out and his belly torn open, his powerful aura only made her more excited. It had been a long time since she had felt this kind of thrill from being tortured.

Hans Hunter's powerful aura directly affected Marley's judgment. Although Barrett Walker was worried about Hans Hunter taking the elixir of life, as long as they resolved this dark undead, he wouldn't be in any danger. He remained calm, without an ounce of guilt, but at the very least, he had to eliminate the trouble first, didn't he?

"Now is the time!"

After two deep breaths, Barrett Walker quickly adjusted his aim, pulling the trigger. The gun's recoil was strong, and without hundreds of thousands of shots of training, he would never become a sniper god. But with this shot, Barrett Walker put all his strength into it, and with a distance of 600 meters and a bullet speed of over 800 meters per second, he had less than a second to strike. However, within that second, if the threat of death hadn't been sensed by a warrior of his caliber, he wouldn't have been able to do much. The tungsten core armor-piercing bullet flew past branches and leaves, heading towards Marley's back. Barrett Walker didn't aim for her head, not because it was a difficult target, but because he was afraid of her dodging after sensing the danger.

Marley felt a slight palpitation, subtle but at their level, all subtle things could be amplified. Although she didn't know what was threatening her, her subconscious reaction was to move away from that feeling.

Bang!

The bullet pierced through her ribs, the tungsten core armor-piercing bullet, scraped off by the tree leaves, exploded, turning Marley's right hand and shoulder into minced meat. No matter how powerful the generals were, the power of an armor-piercing bullet was absolutely unstoppable.

After Marley's arm was blown off, the loud gunshot rang out in the distance, leaving everyone stunned.

Countless people looked around, as the ancient temple was surrounded by mountains and the forest was too dense to pinpoint the exact location of the sniper. But for these hunters, it wasn't difficult. Just one more shot, and they would be able to locate him based on their experience.

"Who is it? A single shot actually wounded a general!"

"Could it be a hunter? What kind of gun was used and where is it?"

"This is ridiculous. Can a general be injured by a firearm? Their mental perception is too powerful. As long as there's a hint of hostility, they can sense it in advance."

"Perhaps this person is also a general! Only when firing can he conceal his hostility, preventing the target from sensing it!"

"Ridiculous! If he's a general, why would he use such a laughable firearm?"

The hunters whispered among themselves, clearly, this person on the human side, if he wasn't a general, completely upended the unified belief in the Federation's norms. It was as if Copernicus's heliocentric theory had overturned the geocentric theory. In the past, he might have been burned at the stake, but now, in this era of the so-called new myth, the sudden appearance of this person assassinating a general caused a sensation in the Federation.
