Chapter 65 Carelessness Leads to Disaster
The next second, two very faint "thud" sounds suddenly came from the right side, the sound of bullets from a miniature pistol hitting flesh!
The two guards on the right fell straight down without uttering a sound.
Just as the guard on the left realized something was wrong and was about to turn around, Yan Shuo's gun muzzle was already spitting fire. "Pfft! Pfft!" Two shots hit the guards precisely between the eyebrows, and the two guards fell to the ground.
"Quick!" Yan Shuo shouted, rushing forward in one stride. He picked up a corpse with one hand and threw it into his spatial ring, while simultaneously wiping the bloodstains on the ground with a special cloth using his other hand.
The weapon dolls also cooperated, their movements incredibly swift.
In just half a minute, the four corpses were cleaned up, and the bloodstains on the ground were wiped clean, leaving only faint water stains.
Yan Shuo took out four more dolls with faces exactly like the guards, and arranged them in the same guarding posture as before. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, his back already soaked with cold sweat.
With the help of the weapon doll, the breakthrough on the fourth floor went much more smoothly.
Using the same guard positions, Yan Shuo resorted to his old trick, having the weapon dolls deal with one side while he handled the other.
The dull thud of bullets entering flesh, the scraping sound of corpses being dragged away, and the soft clatter of dolls being put back in place intertwined in the silent stairwell, creating a thrilling symphony of covert warfare.
After finishing on the fourth floor, Yan Shuo carefully checked the posture of the substitute doll to make sure there were no flaws before heading to the fifth floor.
The defenses on the fifth floor were exactly the same as those on the third and fourth floors, as if they were copied and pasted.
Yan Shuo had already figured out the rhythm, and his movements were more skillful. He released the weapon dolls, fired the guns, cleaned up the corpses, and placed the substitute dolls. The whole process was smooth and efficient. He even took a moment to glance at the corridor on the fifth floor to make sure there were no additional ambushes.
"Once we get to the sixth floor, we should be almost done." He breathed a sigh of relief. The tension from the consecutive high floors had made his nerves ache, and now he finally felt a little relaxed.
The sight at the sixth-floor stairwell brought a smile to Yan Shuo's lips. This time, there were only two guards, half the number of guards on the lower floors.
He gestured for the weapon doll to stay at the corner and wait, while he silently circled behind the guards, pointed his silenced pistol at the back of their heads, and fired two quick and clean shots.
The two guards collapsed to the ground, without even a chance to struggle.
"Done!" Yan Shuo thought smugly, about to step forward to clean up the body, when a cold shout suddenly rang out at the end of the corridor: "Who?!"
"Damn it!" Yan Shuo froze, his blood rushing to his head, and he almost dropped the gun in his hand.
The shout came so suddenly, like an ice pick piercing his taut nerves.
He turned his head sharply and, with the help of his night vision, saw two guards standing at the door of a room not far away!
The slight sound of the guard falling to the ground at the stairwell had actually alerted them!
There's no time to think about it anymore!
The two guards had already raised their rifles and were walking steadily toward the stairwell, their eyes sharp as knives.
Yan Shuo suddenly emerged from the shadows, pointed his gun at the guard at the front, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
"Thud!" The bullet struck him squarely in the chest, the guard jolted, and fell to the ground.
The remaining guard reacted extremely quickly, instantly raising his gun to return fire!
"Bang!" The crisp gunshot rang out in the quiet night, like a thunderclap, with extremely strong penetrating power. It was estimated that the entire hotel and even several streets nearby could hear it!
"Fuck your grandpa!" Yan Shuo was so angry that he trembled all over. He rolled to the side and hid behind a pillar in the corridor.
The bullet grazed his ear, struck the wall, and sent up a spray of debris.
He was filled with regret and anger; it was all his carelessness! Relying on the help of the Xiaozhi System and the weapon doll, he had let his guard down and failed to thoroughly scout the entire sixth floor beforehand, thus overlooking the guard at the door of the room!
What infuriated him even more was that these guards were not those incompetent spies from the intelligence department, but genuine elites!
Their reaction speed, alertness, and shooting accuracy were all far superior to those they had encountered before; even the slightest movement could alert them.
"This is a huge problem!" Yan Shuo pressed himself tightly against the cold pillar, his heart pounding as if it would shatter his ribs. All he could hear was his own heavy breathing. "Once the gunshots ring out, the guards on rotation in the lower floors will definitely swarm up to provide support. Maybe the sentries and patrols outside will also come running!"
He had just calmed himself down when he caught a glimpse of the elite Japanese soldier moving slightly in the shadows, his gun always aimed at the direction where he was hiding.
Yan Shuo leaned against a pillar, his heart pounding as if it would explode, his mind racing as he considered how to escape and continue the mission.
This guy's marksmanship is absolutely top-notch. If I were to rashly show myself, I wouldn't be confident of killing him with a single shot.
Moreover, the opponent is already fully prepared and will inevitably take precautions in advance and will immediately counterattack. Once this level of elite troops enters a state of alert, their difficulty to deal with increases exponentially.
"A direct confrontation won't work; we'll have to overwhelm you with technology!" Yan Shuo gritted his teeth and shouted at the weapon doll, "Charge head-on! I'll cover your retreat!"
Two dark figures darted out from the corner of the stairs in an instant; they were two weapon dolls waiting for orders.
They gripped silenced pistols, their movements as swift as lightning, their footsteps landing silently, their guns always locked on the elite Japanese soldier. This was marksmanship enhanced by the Xiaozhi System, with maximum accuracy and agility far exceeding human limits.
"Aren't you an elite? Try playing with these two 'tough guys' of mine first!" Yan Shuo sneered inwardly, while gripping his gun tightly, ready to finish off the enemy at any moment.
But the next second, something unexpected happened!
"Snapped!"
The crisp sound of gunfire rang out again, and under the corridor lamp, a bullet struck the left-hand weapon doll precisely between the eyebrows!
Sparks burst from the black fuselage, and the doll, as if its bones had been removed, crashed to the floor with a loud thud, completely destroyed.
Without pausing, the other weapon doll continued its charge, using the fall of its companion as cover, its gun already pointed at the Japanese soldier's chest.
"Snapped!"
Another shot!
It's still between the eyebrows!
The second weapon doll also fell to the ground, its fuselage emitting black smoke, and it became completely still.
"Damn!" Yan Shuo was completely stunned. Every hair on his body stood on end. He instinctively shrank to the corner of the wall next to a door, his back pressed tightly against the cold door panel. His heart was about to jump out of his throat.
What the hell is this monster?
Two shots, both aimed at his forehead; even the technologically enhanced weapon doll couldn't get close to him.
When did Japan develop such an abnormally elite force?
After a brief moment of shock, Yan Shuo quickly calmed down.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan. The substitute dolls on other floors were all under the control of the system. If any guards peeked out to check, they would be shot dead.
Even if the guards on their days off come up, they'll have to get past the substitute doll first, so they won't pose a threat to him for the time being.
The most troublesome thing right now is this "gun god-level" elite in front of us.
"I've got no other options, I'll risk it all!" Yan Shuo pulled out a smoke grenade from his waist, a ruthless smile playing on his lips. "I don't believe you can be this accurate in the smoke!" He pulled the safety pin and hurled it towards the direction where the Japanese soldiers were hiding.
