Chapter 43 Prisoner No. 43
The flying axe flew out almost rubbed against the ashes, tearing a big hole in the sleeve of his cold-proof clothing.
And Ashes finally completed the second round of loading and opened fire on the enemy who was less than three meters away from him.
The huge impact force instantly repelled the enemy. The person who was shot fell back and plowed two deep gullies on the snow with his legs.
Seeing another companion falling down, the last man roared and rushed towards Ashes - at this distance, Ashes had no chance to load the ammunition for the third gun.
Ashes threw away the flint gun in his hand and ignored the axe that the other party was about to swing. The military dagger stabbed the other party's throat like a letter spitting out by a poisonous snake!
This is a way of fighting with injuries. Ashes' intention is very clear. He wants to use one of his arms to exchange for the other party's life!
In the end, the prisoner naturally did not want to use his life to exchange one of the arm of Ashes. He had to throw away the axe in his hand and reach out to grasp the wrist of Ashes holding the knife...
This prisoner is proficient in the grappling fighting techniques in the army. As long as he can grasp Ash's wrist, he will be confident that he will subdue Ash within one second.
But at this moment, Ash let go of the military dagger in his hand, and his whole arm suddenly shrank back, avoiding the opponent's grasp. The other hand quickly pulled out a steel cone hidden around his waist, and nailed it hard into the enemy's waist with his backhand!
The steel cone was taken from the trap triggered by snowballs before ashes. The steel cone was more than twenty centimeters long. Although there was no blade on the side, the front end was very sharp, and... it was also highly toxic.
...
"The vital signs of prisoners No. 6, No. 1 and No. 25 disappeared and were initially determined to be dead."
"Did you lose three-on-one?... Waste is waste... What about prisoner No. 4? Where is the position now?"
"He seems to be attracted by the gunfire and is moving closer to the target. It is expected that the two sides will contact each other in 10 minutes."
"Continue to keep observing and report any situation to me as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
...
After dealing with these three prisoners, the Ashes collected all the useful things on them... Unfortunately, the supplies on these people were also very scarce, and there was nothing except weapons and a small bag of compressed biscuits.
If there were other people in the assessment area, the gunfire just now would definitely lead them to it, and Ashes must leave this place immediately - facing three enemies, he had to use the tactic of fighting for his life with injuries. What if there were four, five or more?
His goal is not to kill people, but to travel through this assessment area. Those unnecessary battles can be avoided. As Yuri said, "Except for the assessment of the score system, no one will pay attention to the assessment process, and the result is the most important."
If the Ashes fails to reach the end within the scheduled time, it will be meaningless no matter how many enemies he kills.
Although the difficulty of the assessment has changed, the distance between the end point and the starting point remains unchanged, and it is still twenty-five kilometers. Ashes roughly calculated that six hours have passed since he entered the assessment area, and his straight line travel distance is about two kilometers. At this speed, it is obvious that he cannot reach the finish line before the end of the assessment time.
Although it took a certain amount of time to find supply points and assemble the flints, there must be more trouble waiting for him later, and he must speed up the progress - Yuri told him more than once that if he cannot pass the introductory assessment, then waiting for his fate is to be sent back to the second isolation area...
...
But in many cases, things never went as smoothly as I imagined. Not long after leaving the supply point, Ash encountered another prisoner who was searching for him in the assessment area, and the other party also discovered him at the same time.
This is a "giant" with a height of more than 2.5 meters. Such giants are rare in the Rhine Empire. Normal people are rarely able to break through two meters... He may have the bloodline of a tribe called "Yumir" in the Northern Barbarian Tribe. The barbarians in that tribe are born with huge skeletons, and even newborn babies can reach more than one meter in height... Or maybe they are descendants of the mysterious "Kafu clan" in the East. The figure of this race is even more exaggerated than that of the "Yumir" and the "Kafu"... But whether it is "Yumir" or "Kafu", people from both races are known for their abundant production of powerful warriors. The heavy infantry of the Kuafu clan is known as the strongest "super shield" among the Eastern alien troops, and Yuumir is also one of the most powerful tribes in the northern Federation.
The giant seemed not afraid of the cold. His upper body was completely covered, and his twisted muscles were like pieces of metal gathered together. In his huge palm, he was tightly holding an extra-large warhammer. The hammer's hammer head was similar to a large wine barrel. If it was solid, the weight of this weapon would probably be hundreds of kilograms...
Even if this warhammer is used for tanks, it is probably more than enough for a small body like Ashes. As long as it is gently rubbed, the huge force attached to it will be enough to crush all the bones of his body.
Because of the giant's tall figure, the ink marks on his face were several numbers larger than ordinary prisoners, and a "4" number could be vaguely seen in the ashes...
Fighting with such giants is a very stupid act. Although the huge body shape may limit the opponent's flexibility, there is also a proverb called "one force breaks ten games". As long as the opponent swings the hammer in his hand, anyone who approaches him will be smashed into meat without any suspense.
In this case, there is only one best solution - shooting.
The giant had already strode towards the ashes. His steps were not fast, but the distance between each step was several times that of an ordinary person. The distance between him and the ashes was rapidly shortening.
Ashes had already picked up the simple flintstone. He raised his left thumb with the guardrail up as a substitute for the sight. The gap between the hammer and the fire door was used as a guide, aiming at the giant's chest in the form of "three points and one line".
Experienced soldiers will not regard the enemy's head as the primary target. First, because the head target is too small and it is easy to get out of the target. Second, because the human skull is the hardest bone on the whole body. The projectile with a low speed may not necessarily penetrate the skull. The skull itself has a curved arc, just like the soldier's helmet. If the angle of the hit is large, it may even fly out by rubbing the skull.
In terms of lethality alone, a chest without armor protection is a better target. There are also a large number of important organs in the chest cavity. Even if it cannot die in an instant, it will definitely make the enemy lose the ability to continue fighting.
"Bang!"
The gunshot sounded, and choking smoke ejected from the barrel, and the round lead bullet headed straight to the giant's unprotected chest--
"Ka...Ka...Ka..."
The sound of something shattering came from the other party. After the smoke dissipated, the ashes saw that there was a large piece of special cuticle with very similar material and luster to rocks on the giant's chest. The lead bullet was embedded in it, and there were a fine cracked road around the projectile...
The giant half-squatted in the snow, resolving most of the impact on the projectile, and this shot had almost no effect.
This scene made Ash think of the "crazy man" he encountered in the isolation area. However, unlike the craziness man, the giant in front of him obviously still retains a clear self-awareness.
