Chapter 264 The Flask
The heavy sniper shots were coming down like a hailstorm, making all the ApexGuardians gasp for air!
This rich dude came locked and loaded!
Turned out he had got a whole sniper squad backing him up, and every single one of them was a deadeye!
In a flash, anyone who popped their head out, hid, or just made a run for it from the village guard, if they saw Elbert, it was game over—headshot city, no exceptions!
"Something's off!" Gray Bear frowned. "9 o'clock! Elbert's only got one sniper! How's he firing this fast? He's better than me!"
Jeffery gritted his teeth, a chill running down his spine.
He knew Gary's kids all too well.
This had to be one of Gary's four kids, Autumn!
Scary stuff!
With that kind of sniping speed, even if her spot got blown, she could still take out a whole reinforced company solo!
Suddenly, a roar echoed from the village!
This guy was different from the other guards!
The ones Autumn sniped before were all suited up, but this dude was bare-chested!
Even though he had a human body, his skin was covered in scales, and he had sharp nails—probably some kind of mutant!
Autumn was lightning fast.
This time, she switched to a fragmentation round, fired from the single-shot king, the Sauer SSG3000!
The weird dude dodged in a freaky way!
He dodged the headshot, but his left shoulder blew up first, yet he stayed standing!
Another shot!
The guy's left leg shattered!
He was wobbling!
Another shot!
The guy's arm shattered!
It wasn't until the fourth shot that the guy, almost reduced to a pile of broken parts, finally hit the ground!
For a regular sniper, taking down a monster like that would be a nightmare!
The ApexGuardians were secretly blown away!
'What kind of cyborg is this? Four shots to kill under such heavy sniping?'
Then, six more of these freaks rushed out from the village!
Elbert could feel the intense fire in these guys' chests!
They had at least B-level strength!
Elbert's face got serious, and he mouthed, "Autumn, stop! Relocate! I'll get you a new gun later!"
Autumn didn't hesitate!
She ditched her gun and vanished into the forest like a ghost!
At this moment, Red Brow, who was lying in ambush, put down his infrared binoculars.
It was a little girl!
Elbert looked seriously at the roaring monsters coming his way.
He whispered, "Summer, time to practice."
"Okay."
Then, Summer shot out!
Like a shadow, she rushed into the group of monsters!
The sounds echoed!
Each hit was heavy!
Summer's physical strength was above B+, and he'd been training with Quentin recently!
His strength was off the charts!
Elbert squinted, instantly analyzing Summer's and her opponents' strength, speed, movements, and angles.
Summer had leveled up!
He could hold them off for a while!
In the distance, the ApexGuardians saw the terrifying lizardmen and the incredibly strong Summer!
They hesitated again, inevitably comparing themselves to those cyborgs.
Even though they had reached the physical limits of ordinary people, even if they charged as a group, their success rate was less than 30%!
When did border mercenaries get such cyborgs?
Jeffery seized the moment and added, "See your weaknesses now?"
Red Brow pouted. "I don't see it! Sir, I request to fight!"
"You stay put! Your job today is to watch!"
Inside a house in the village, Gary, still half-asleep, suddenly heard the sound of heavy sniping.
Then he caught the rapid-fire sniping frequency.
He jumped up!
"Damn, Autumn's here too!"
Then, Gary heard the sound of heavy blows like muffled thunder!
"Damn it! Elbert's here too! And probably Summer as well!"
Gary started to freak out!
He yelled at the guard in the house. "Lizardman, give me your flask, there's no time!"
The guard was pissed, snorting a puff of white air from his nose, "You old nutjob! Quit making a scene, your rescuers are gonna get wrecked by our mercenary group!"
"You dumb lizard, you have no idea!" Gary was so anxious he kept rubbing his hands. "You're gonna die, don't you get that!"
"Shut up!" The guard raised his hand, ready to knock Gary out to shut him up!
The roof of the small wooden house suddenly caved in!
A figure in a white shirt dropped from the sky, stomping right on the lizardman's head!
The lizardman's body, though tough, got stomped into the ground, his head smashed!
Elbert casually dusted off his hands and glanced around the room.
He looked at the flushed Gary and said, "Gary, quite cozy in here."
Elbert found a chair and slowly sat down, "Gary, spill it, what are you up to?"
Outside, Summer was fighting more and more lizardmen.
Inside, Gary and Elbert sat quietly.
"Haha, Summer's here too." Gary scratched his head, his eyes locked on the lizardman's fallen flask.
Elbert tilted his head. "Gary, don't tell me you just want a drink. Do you realize if you had hidden any deeper, the whole border would be in chaos?"
"No way!" Gary got up, grabbed the flask, opened the lid, and took a sniff.
The sounds of fighting outside were getting closer.
Summer's battlefield had obviously moved near the wooden house.
Gary was about to take a swig when the wooden house's wall shattered!
A figure flew in but wasn't hurt, instantly getting up.
Seeing the scene inside, he slightly bowed. "Gary."
"Summer, good job."
Gary smiled slightly.
Then, Summer rushed back out!
The two inside glanced outside, seeing at least 20 strange cyborgs attacking Summer!
Summer was already at a disadvantage!
Elbert shook his head slightly and reached out to Gary. "Gary, give me the flask."
Gary pulled back. "Why?"
Elbert asked, "Do you want Summer to get hurt?"
Gary was stunned. "So, you figured it out?"
Elbert nodded slightly.
"Nothing gets past you! But why don't you help?"
Elbert said helplessly, "I don't want you drinking anymore! The ethanol levels in your body are already off the charts!"
"Oh, I knew it!" Gary was super reluctant!
He slowly handed the flask to Elbert, looking pitiful!
Summer's body flew back again!
Elbert raised his arm, tossing the flask to Summer!
"Summer, go all out!"
"You?"
Elbert smiled. "I'll chat with Gary for a bit."
"Okay!"
Summer pulled out the cork, chugging down the whiskey inside!
He tossed the flask away.
Summer's eyes turned red!
His skin flushed, and his whole body radiated a fierce aura!
His momentum was overwhelming!
The once B+ cyborg Chain Bridge was taken out with one punch by the drunken Summer!
At this moment, these B+ cyborgs with only brute strength were no match!
Summer roared and shot out instantly!
With one punch, a blood mist exploded!
Gary looked bitterly at the empty flask. "My drink."
