Chapter 42: Veteran Shooter!
The overturned mule cart and its cargo attracted many scavengers.
But some people stayed behind the convoy, unwilling to give up.
Shen Mo leaned against the partition, holding a bow at the back of the vehicle.
The mule cart traveled on the highway.
However, the road is winding and poorly maintained, with potholes and uneven surfaces.
With his expert-level agility, Shen Mo's feet seemed to be firmly planted on the ground, allowing him to stand steadily and still maintain a certain accuracy when shooting arrows.
This made him seem even more dangerous to the scavengers than Shi Lan, who was wielding a battle axe.
Once they see Shen Mo looking at them, they panic and try to dodge, fearing that Shen Mo will shoot them dead with an arrow...
After walking another four or five miles, there were fifty or sixty scavengers following the caravan, but none of them dared to attack the caravan.
But neither Shi Lan nor Shen Mo ever let their guard down.
because……
"They're here!"
Shen Mo pointed west and shouted to Shi Lan in the car in front.
Upon hearing this, Shi Lan picked up her binoculars and looked over. She saw a motorcycle appear on a hillside to the west.
A man sitting on a motorcycle, also holding binoculars, was observing the convoy.
Then he made a gesture behind him and rode his motorcycle down the slope.
A moment later, four more motorcycles rolled over the hillside, followed by some robbers on foot.
Seeing this, Shi Lan took a deep breath and said:
"Prepare for battle!"
The five motorcycles arrived very quickly.
A little over a minute later, they arrived near the convoy.
However, instead of directly attacking the convoy, they fired at it from a distance.
Although it wasn't very accurate, it startled the mule pulling the cart.
Yan Su's drivers were not very skilled at driving.
The mules were completely out of control, and the mule cart immediately descended into chaos.
Shen Mo, Shi Lan, and Wei Dongming had no choice but to get out of the car, helping to calm the livestock while remaining vigilant for the movements of the robbers and scavengers.
The entire caravan currently only has two guns, which Yan Su applied for in the name of the caravan.
After giving Shi Lan a gun, Yan Su and Shi Lan began exchanging fire with the robbers.
However, both men were mediocre marksmen, and their shots were ineffective.
Instead, he was riddled with bullets by the robbers and couldn't even lift his head...
Shen Mo and Wei Dongming used the mule cart as cover and tried to shoot a few arrows.
Shen Mo shot an arrow that hit one of the robbers in the back seat who was holding a gun, but it only pierced his thigh and was not fatal.
Wei Dongming's crossbow, however, proved completely ineffective...
These robbers were not only more numerous than the ones Shen Mo had encountered last time, but they were also much more capable.
Their tactics were rather sneaky, rarely stepping within 100 meters of the convoy.
The main targets were the mules pulling the carts, and accuracy was a complete fluke, but somehow it always produced results...
Neigh—
It was accompanied by a high-pitched, mournful cry.
A mule was shot.
In pain, the mule struggled frantically for a while before collapsing to the ground with a thud, letting out heavy panting.
Some of the goods on the truck also fell off.
One of the chicken coops was thrown to the ground.
By the time Yan Su's coachman noticed, all the chickens and ducks inside had already escaped...
Yan Su's heart bled when she saw this.
He even considered this as a means to turn his life around.
If this continues, I'm afraid we won't even be able to scrape together the compensation...
Enraged, Yan Su picked up his rifle and fired a burst at the robber.
The bullets were all flying into the sky by the end, but the robbers weren't even scratched.
"Give me a gun!"
Seeing this, Shen Mo couldn't stand it any longer.
He snatched the gun with the new magazine from Yan Su's hand, opened the "Demon Hunter's Handbook," and used all 10 skill points on shooting.
[Shooting LV10 (Senior)]
Shooting skill level instantly increased from LV0 to LV10.
A wealth of methods and techniques related to firearms and shooting flooded into Silent's memory.
When Shen Mo picked up the gun, he was like a battle-hardened veteran.
Step out with both feet, lean your body to the side, shift your weight forward, and pull the lever.
Focus your gaze on the sights, aim at the motorcyclist moving rapidly a hundred meters away, pre-pull the trigger, and control your breathing...
boom!
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet grazed the motorcyclist's head, missing its target.
Yan Su was already unhappy that Shen Mo had taken her gun.
Seeing this, he tried to get the gun back.
But before he could speak, Shen Mo pulled the trigger again and again.
bang bang bang-
The muzzle flashed, and bullets flew out of the barrel one after another.
Yan Su looked again at the target Shen Mo was shooting at.
The motorcyclist shuddered, as if all his strength had been instantly drained away.
Then, his hands involuntarily released the handles, and his body slumped backward, collapsing into the arms of the robber behind him...
The robber, who instinctively grabbed the motorcyclist, hadn't even realized what was happening.
Without warning, he was thrown out along with the out-of-control motorcycle by inertia, rolling a great distance.
"This... is... luck, right?"
Yan Su was stunned when she saw Shen Mo deal with a motorcycle.
He subconsciously felt that Shen Mo had just gotten lucky.
But Shen Mo then fired another shot, accurately killing the robber who had fallen to the ground and was struggling to get up.
Yan Su finally admitted from the bottom of her heart that Shen Mo's shooting was indeed accurate.
He'd practiced at the shooting range so many times, but he still didn't have Shen Mo's accuracy...
"Well done!"
"Brother Shen is awesome!"
Seeing that Shen Mo had disposed of a motorcycle, Shi Lan and Wei Dongming were overjoyed.
Unperturbed by praise or criticism, he turned his gun on another motorcycle.
The death of his companion made the motorcyclist wary.
Tighten the throttle, keep changing direction, and it's gone a bit further.
The robbers on the back seat, along with the other motorcycle robbers, focused their fire on Shen Mo.
Even knowing that the other party's aim was terrible, Shen Mo didn't want to gamble on luck.
He ducked back behind the mule cart, using his five senses to determine the positions of the four motorcycles.
When the robbers' gunfire subsided, Shen Mo suddenly stood up, raised his gun, and fired a burst at the nearest motorcycle.
Da da da—
Amidst a series of gunshots, bullets, like the scythe of death, caught up with the motorcycle.
The two robbers on the motorcycle shuddered and were thrown off the motorcycle.
"pretty!"
"Holy crap, that's awesome!"
"here you go!"
......
Seeing Shen Mo take down another motorcycle, Shi Lan, Wei Dongming, and Yan Su were all invigorated.
Especially Yan Su.
He thought the shipment was going to be lost.
They were all thinking about how to renege on Bloodaxe's money after escaping back to the city...
But Shen Mo's two brilliant moves pulled the convoy back from the brink of destruction.
He excitedly handed the last magazine he had on him to Shen Mo.
Two motorcycles were subsequently damaged.
The remaining motorcyclists immediately distanced themselves, not daring to advance any further.
As for the scavengers following the convoy, they scattered after the exchange of fire.
Although they were still lingering in the vicinity, they dared not intervene in the battlefield between the two sides.
This bought the team some time.
Yan Su and his men calmed the frightened mules and gathered up the scattered goods.
They also wanted to move the shot-damaged mule onto the cart and take it back.
After trying it and failing to move it, I reluctantly gave up.
Shi Lan was bold, and together with Wei Dongming, under Shen Mo's cover, they brought back the two motorcycles, along with the dead robbers' weapons.
However, during this time, the robbers also rejoined the main force...
