Chapter 538 Suggestion

Although Zhang Heng picked up the CS5 later, it was no longer usable-high temperatures had damaged the rifle’s internal structure . That said, Zhang Heng possessed the Infinite Building Blocks, a fine fit for dealing with such situations .

Three minutes later, a new CS5 reappeared in his hands . He disassembled it, put its parts into a box, and carried it to the urban village . He then found a relatively tall residential building and decided to ascend it .

The battle between Arc of Light and the Union had raged on for a long time . Although they had tried their best to avoid attracting the attention of the ordinary, youths of the day had evolved into pseudo-nocturnals . Many were wide awake even after midnight, and some noticed something unusual taking place outside their windows .

However, Arc of Light dealt with it very quickly . They cut off communication signals in the area, temporarily blocking it; not to mention a bespoke game item they had that allowed them to erase the people’s memories . They wouldn’t remember a thing that happened during the past two hours . According to the original plan, the battle should have ended now .

Zhang Heng had all but disrupted Light of Arc’s plans . While on the rooftop, he took a monocular from his backpack and zeroed-in some Arc of Light members retreating to a specific place . On the other side, a small hotel attracted his attention . There were no suspicious people outside, but the same couldn’t be said for the nearby buildings . Zhang Heng realized that someone important had to be hidden therethey must have retreated in a different direction to protect the people hiding inside the hotel .

Putting down the scope, Zhang Heng reassembled the rifle as quickly as he could, ignoring those retreating . He then zoomed to the street where the hotel was located . Not hasty to eliminate his enemy, he first used the CS5 to take out a man in a rental house not far away from him—the man would come out to check his surroundings from time to time . Another four people hiding in the grocery store next door got sniped as well . Unfortunately, the last shot finally exposed Zhang Heng’s location, prompting the enemies to fire back immediately in a rage .

Zhang Heng squatted down and paid attention to where the firing sound was coming from . With his excellent hearing, he located the enemies firing at him . He then took out a pocket mirror, looked at it quickly, and pulled it back, using the opportunity to change position . After counting to three in his heart, he poked his head out from a different spot and fired his rifle before the enemies could react . In that short stint, he managed to bag another two kills .

Zhang Heng took out the elite long-range assault team dispatched by Arc of Light Arc, leaving behind ordinary marksman players . They had submachine guns for weapons and could only be used for frontal assaults . Once a certain distance was put in between, the submachine gun’s accuracy would drop drastically . Even if Zhang Heng stood there and allowed them to shoot at him, there was a good chance they would land no accurate shots . It also meant that he would dominate the battle eventually .

Zhang Heng fired the rifle at his own pace . After repeating the same step several times, all the marksmen on the enemy’s side had been killed . He took a little more time to clean up a few enemy remnants still holding up in the building . When that was done, he walked to the small hotel with the CS5 in hand .

To avoid causing bad memories for the receptionist on the first floor, Zhang Heng climbed to the second-floor window . Once he got into the hotel, he opened the door, seeing no one in the corridor . He had initially planned to search room by room, but he heard footsteps outside the corridor before he could carry that out .

He raised his CS5 and pointed in the direction of the emergency exit . When he came into the hotel, the street was still empty . The waiter at the front desk was asleep, which meant the person was definitely here for him . Arc of Light had displayed their full strength when he got assaulted once on the rooftop earlier . As one of the three major guilds, they would have many master players as members . Nonetheless, he was surprised his enemy came for him so fast .

He did not hesitate this time . When the footsteps approached the door, Zhang Heng shot half a second ahead of time . The bullet passed through the enemy’s body, leaving not so much as a single trace . Zhang Heng was dumbfounded . The bullet continued on its trajectory, hitting the wall behind her . It was as if the bullet had just penetrated a phantom .

Zhang Heng managed to take a good look at his enemy this time . It was a woman in a white dress . Barefoot with her long black hair hanging down to her waist, it was hard telling her age . Also, with her was a long sword . She wasn’t that tall but exuded a thick heroic aura .

She then looked at her chest where the bullet passed through . She was just as surprised as Zhang Heng . After a while, she looked up .

“Even if you know I am from Arc of Light, you should at least listen to my introduction before you shoot me . ” “You didn’t ask where I came from when your guild set those traps to deal with me,” replied Zhang Heng . He knew that Arc of Light would send someone to disable his sniping . Hence, he did expect his rifle to leave the woman in white unscathed . He was simply unsure if it was the agent’s own ability or an effect of a game item that made her immune to his bullets . To test his theory, Zhang Heng pulled the trigger again without saying hello . Even after he emptied the bullet cartridge, the woman in white’s body remained unchanged . She shook her head afterward, seemingly disapproving of Zhang Heng’s approach .

“This is a bit too messy . ”

At this point, Zhang Heng was sure that the opponent’s ability to defend those bullets was very likely her own ability . If she had relied on game items, it should have exceeded the number of uses by now . Still, he couldn’t tell if her ability was similar to that of Piercings . Previously, the Piercings had turned himself into a water giant, neutralizing bullets and blocking melee attacks . In the end, Zhang Heng had to place his hope on the Paris Arrow .

The woman in white was in no rush to do anything to Zhang Heng . And she had no intention to draw the long sword as well, standing there silently and waiting for Zhang Heng to end the attack before she spoke again .

“Are you a friend of that child?”

Although she did not mention the name, Zhang Heng knew that the child the woman in white was referring to was Shen Xixi . He saw that Arc of Light seemed to send people who tended to prefer negotiation . So, Zhang Heng stopped his attack . It was undeniable that tonight, he had killed his fair share of enemies . Still, the ultimate goal was to help Shen Xixi solve her problem . Since the enemy was open to negotiation, he didn’t mind cooperating . “As long as the Arc of Light stops all the attack on the Union, and stop pursuing what happened last night, I can promise you that I will stop the killing,” said Zhang Heng .

However, what the woman in white said next left Zhang Heng shocked .

“I have to admit, from my personal point of view, I appreciate what you did tonight . However, I have to say sorry . Even if Arc of Light accepts your terms, I cannot . What if we talk about another proposal . ”

“What proposal?”

“You stop the killing tonight, and if we do meet again in the future, I promise not to hurt you,” the woman in white said .
