Chapter 902: Chapter 406: Solo Combat

"For the great Lord!"

"Kill—!"

"Da-da-da..."

Someone shouted a slogan.

In an instant, these extremists went wild, rushing toward Gu Ji with all sorts of firearms.

Fortunately, the training level and physical stamina between the two sides were on a completely different level, and gradually, Gu Ji’s superior ability in cross-country running created distance.

But the bullets paid no heed to this two or three hundred meters of space.

The whizzing of bullets swept past Gu Ji, occasionally hitting the shrubs or tree trunks beside him, making a dull "thud" sound.

Gu Ji’s eyes were bloodshot, as he swiftly dodged behind a bush, and from his chest harness, he took the last grenade and hurled it fiercely at the extremists chasing him.

"Grenade! Run!"

The oval rolling defensive grenade fell into the thicket, and after a half-second delay, it suddenly unleashed a wave of air.

Two extremists couldn’t dodge in time and were hit by metal fragments, bleeding profusely, a gruesome sight.

"Go, Stinger!"

Seeing that this strike temporarily drove back the enemy, Gu Ji prepared to continue retreating towards the southeast.

Even though it completely deviated from the main force’s retreat direction.

But he had no choice.

To buy Zhou Yang and others time to retreat, he had to quickly penetrate behind enemy lines and disrupt their formations, a tactical maneuver frequently used by Xia Kingdom scouts.

As a result, the southwest direction was now completely sealed by Shalam’s people.

He couldn’t go back.

"Bang—! Clang!"

Just as Gu Ji got up to run, suddenly, a stray bullet swept from behind, striking the side of his helmet.

In that moment, he felt as if his head was fiercely hammered with an iron mallet, almost shaking his brains loose, the entire person uncontrollably tumbling down the slope.

"Swish—Thud—"

Gu Ji rolled uncontrollably down the slope, with only the sound of scraping grass and clashing bushes filling his ears, occasionally a stone jabbed into his body, but he didn’t feel it at all.

It was like riding a roller coaster, suddenly plunging from the top.

His heart pounded rapidly, as blood quickly flowed to his toes.

Finally, his back heavily collided with a tree trunk, coming to a halt.

"Ugh..."

"Woof! Woof woof!"

Gu Ji instinctively grinned, completely unable to distinguish up from down, or north, south, east, west.

Fortunately, Stinger barked loudly next to his ear, waking him up at the critical moment, licking his eyes with its tongue.

"There he is!"

"Quick! Kill him!"

Hearing the enemy’s shouts of pursuit, Gu Ji’s eyes flashed open, abruptly sitting up, and grabbed the AK-103 in his hand, hiding behind a tree.

In the dark forest, at least twenty or thirty figures charged at him.

Bullets fell like a dense rain on the spot where he had just been.

The trunk was hit with concentrated fire, making the branches rustle.

Gu Ji held his breath, showing no panic.

His pupils shone with pure and precise light, the intent to kill unprecedentedly intense.

"Eagle Eye!"

In an instant, he activated the characteristic function attached to the orange mark.

This was Gu Ji’s first time using it.

His gaze flashed, and the entire world seemed to enter a photographic Log mode, covered in a thin gray tone. Although nothing changed, more scene details and character dynamics were highlighted.

In an instant, above one person’s head, a "red eye" icon appeared.

Gu Ji almost instinctively raised his gun, quickly squeezing the trigger.

With the sound of gunfire, the target fell instantly; whether hit or not was unknown, but he could clearly feel the extremists’ gunfire seemed to decrease a bit.

It’s a machine gun!

That person was the machine gunner!

So this was what it meant by "marking the most threatening target to the player," this [Eagle Eye] feature was simply a godly skill!

The duration was only 5 seconds.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Ji hid behind the tree trunk, shifting left and right, consecutively taking down two more extremists who posed the greatest threat to him.

Until the skill state was about to end.

He vaguely saw a glimpse of a green arrow, like a car AR navigation, marked on a slope at his right rear.

This should be the breaching method accompanied by the [Eagle Eye] skill.

Though it was just a flash, Gu Ji didn’t clearly see the specific route, but having a general direction was enough.

"Go, Stinger!"

He shouted, preparing to dart with Stinger behind that slope.

But as the skill faded, Gu Ji sensed his stomach beginning to contract, emitting a "gurgle" sound, a wave of hunger hitting him.

Hiding behind the slope, he was startled.

Because he knew his attribute enhancement was ongoing.

To avoid affecting the evening’s operation, before departure, he had deliberately had a hearty meal at the Savama safe base, and yet, less than three hours later, hunger struck.

He hadn’t anticipated the frightening energy consumption of this characteristic skill, even more exaggerated than attribute enhancement.

This instantly dispelled Gu Ji’s dream of "going on a spree."

Although the [Eagle Eye] skill was excellent, it was just icing on the cake.

What truly determined survival in battle was always stamina!

Otherwise, military and police units around the world wouldn’t uniformly use running as the training benchmark, aiming to enhance their cardiovascular and endurance capabilities.

"Looks like I’ll have to carry energy gels from now on!"

Gu Ji thought of the quick energy-replenishing liquid used by marathon runners during races.

But there was no time to ponder now.

Calling Stinger, he immediately continued to run nonstop toward the eastern mountains.
