Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 13: Trap

At six o'clock in the morning, a small military magic ship landed in the middle of the camp. It was a patrol airship, and it looked like a prism. The metal fuselage had the logo "Owl Wolf" of the surface garrison army of the thirteenth region printed on it. Driven by Magic Cube energy, it has two propulsion engines at the rear and a cockpit beneath the armored outer shell in the shape of an arc. It is equipped with dual explosive cannons and surface-to-surface missile launchers under the left and right ailerons.

In terms of firepower, such a small magic ship was far from outstanding. Limited by the size of the fuselage and the propulsion engine, this type of airship was unable to carry heavy firepower, so it was generally only used to patrol the periphery of the administrative area.

However, this was the first time the youths had seen a magic ship at such a close distance. Alan's eyes were filled with excitement, and the other two youths were equally excited.

"Alright, if you have the chance to leave, there are more and larger magic ships on Babylon for you to see." Second Lieutenant Ron stood in front of the airship with his hands crossed around his chest and said, "Listen, this airship will take you to the test site later." In this assessment, you can try warming up in front of the death arena. You have three days to deal with your opponent, but all activities must be restricted to the marked area. Once someone crosses the forbidden zone and tries to escape, trust me, it will not be a pleasant decision. "

Merry's expression changed when she heard what the second lieutenant said.

"Check your luggage. If there's no problem, then go in." The second lieutenant patted the hull of the flying ship. The stern of the flying ship opened up a cockpit with only four seats. However, there were only three teenagers, which was enough.

They didn't bring much either, mainly weapons. As for supplies, they had to be dealt with by themselves in the mountains and forests.

Alan was the first to carry Berserk into the stern cabin, and then Maho and Merry also got in. Four seats, facing each other. Ellen untied Kuang Tu and leaned against the side, sitting on the left side of the seat. Follow the driver's instructions and fasten your seat belt. Maho and the other two are sitting on the right. The three of them have six eyes intersecting each other in the air.

The cabin door slowly closed, and Second Lieutenant Ron said to the three people outside, "Good luck, kids."

As soon as the door closed, soft lights lit up the cabin. The portholes on both sides could see that the flying ship was steadily ascending into the air, but there wasn't even the slightest vibration during the entire process. Only the buzzing of the propulsion engine could be faintly heard from beneath his feet.

"Watch your butt, because I will use this guy to explode it." Maho touched his sniper rifle with one hand and landed on Merry's long leg with the other, looking at Alan proudly.

Ellen grinned. "You know what? I'm going to stab you in the mouth and cut off your head with Berserk. So from now on, you should talk more, because you won't need it anymore."

The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two youths caused the atmosphere in the cabin to be filled with a smell of gunpowder. Merry lowered her head uneasily, not daring to look at either Alan or Mahal.

Very quickly, the mana ship had already reached the sky above the examination site. The driver followed Ron's instructions and threw the three teenagers into different locations in the forest. Alan was the last to get off the plane. When the magic ship was only ten meters above the ground, he directly jumped out of the cabin with Berserk Tu. When he landed on the ground, he rolled forward and removed the falling force.

Raising his head, the mana ship had already lifted into the sky. Two streaks of azure flames shot out from the stern propulsion engine, and the flying ship instantly flew off into the distance.

After the flying ship left, the forest returned to peace. After six months, he returned to the wilderness and took a deep breath of free air. Anchored by sunlight, they sank into the forest and headed east. He wasn't in a hurry to find Maho and Merry. Instead, he confirmed the scope of the examination so that he could understand the environment of the battlefield. This was a habit that had been cultivated over the years. Before any snow wolf attacked its prey, it had to know its surroundings before it could establish its offensive methods to ensure that its prey could not escape.

An hour later, Alan found the edge of the examination area. A barbed wire fence was erected at the edges, and there was an iron plate with a skull drawn on it every once in a while. The meaning of this was already very obvious.

Alan started running along the edge of the area. It took him an entire day to confirm the scope of the entire examination area. The exam area was very wide. There were dense woods, two valleys and a river in this area. Allen cut down a few small trees along the way, hollowed out the tender trunk, and drew water from the only river. He hid the water in several concealed places, where it was the most important source of recharge. With these supply points, Ellen didn't have to be exposed to the river for water.

After night fell, he was still moving about in the woods. Darkness could not confuse his sense of direction. The stars in the night sky would guide him. In a few specific locations, Alan made some simple but fatal traps. After finishing all this, it was already late at night. He simply climbed up a tree and hid in the thick leaves to sleep.

When the sun rose, it was already the second day of the exam.

Maho was a little irritated.

After the airborne yesterday, he found a commanding heights nearby to search for Alan and snipe him. However, the white-haired boy seemed to have disappeared from the world, and Maho squatted for a long time without finding any traces of him. Helplessly, Ma Ao had to take the initiative to attack, running all over the mountain forest to search for Alan. Snipers had a huge advantage. Long-range shooting made them terrifying killers in the mountains. On the other hand, the shortcomings were obvious.

The sniper should be quiet and not move. This was what the instructor repeatedly emphasized when instructing Maho on sniping techniques. When the sniper was exposed, it was a very dangerous thing. But Maho was so anxious to kill Alan that he had already forgotten the instructor's words.

However, after a busy day, Maho did not find Alan, but discovered the river for him. Rivers flow through mountains, often through streams or underground, and there are not many sections that can be used to draw water. Maho thought to himself that Alan could not eat, but he could not help but drink water. In this way, what could be more advantageous than squatting by the river?

Therefore, at dawn, he chose a relatively gentle stretch of the river as his squatting spot. Ma Ao hid on a camphor tree far away from the river bank, using the leaves to cover his body. The muzzle of the gun was aimed in the direction of the river bank. However, after a morning had passed, Alan still hadn't appeared.

Just as Maho was beginning to get annoyed, he suddenly saw a leaf fluttering like a wave not far from the river bank, following Alan's figure and carefully appearing under the shade of the tree beside the river.

"Coming! Coming!" Maho licked his lips and looked at the sights with rapt attention, "Come out, right, come out a little more. White-haired brat."

Alan watched the surroundings vigilantly in his sights. However, Maho was six or seven hundred meters away from him, a distance that Alan could not discover. After observing for 10 minutes, Alan began to approach the river. Maho cursed, "What a cautious fellow."

Finally, Alan arrived at the river. He dived into the river and shouted like he was starving. Maho smiled sinisterly and put the crosshair on Alan's head. He took a deep breath and his steady fingers began to press down on the trigger. However, just as he was about to shoot, Alan raised his head like a vigilant deer and looked in Maho's direction.

"Damn it, you found me." Ma Ao didn't have time to hesitate as he heavily pressed down the trigger.

But at the same time, Allen had already jumped up and shot at the surface of the river. Alan turned around and ran away. Maho immediately adjusted his trajectory and fired another shot. At this time, Alan had just sunk into the forest, and he didn't know if he had hit it. Maho got down from the tree, ran to the river with his gun on his back, and went into the forest that Alan had just entered. After running a few steps, he discovered a bloody palm print and a string of blood flowers dripping from the fallen leaves on the ground.

Maho chuckled dryly. He knew that Alan was injured. This was a good opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it. With the gun on his back, Maho followed the blood into the woods.

At the same time, in a corner of the mountain, Merry raised her head. Two gunshots came from afar, and the girl identified the direction and left.

Half an hour later, Maho squatted down behind a bush. Not far away, on the left side of a mountain rock, he saw a grass-green camp uniform. The uniform suddenly moved and retracted behind the stone.

Alan was hiding behind the stone, and Maho stopped at this point. Judging from the chase, there were more and more bloodstains. It seemed that the second shot had hit Allen, and his injuries were not light. Maho couldn't help but whistle. Alan couldn't escape. He was convinced of this. If he followed the instructor's instructions, he should hide in the hiding place and wait for Alan to come out, and then shoot him to death.

However, Ma Ao didn't have the mood to wait any longer. In his opinion, what else could a white-haired kid who had lost half of his life do? He came out from behind the bushes, but did not run up in a hurry. The ground was full of fallen leaves, and if they ran, they would make a sound. Maho walked slowly and gently. However, he walked for 10 minutes at a distance of several dozen meters. By the time he stepped on the rock, Maho had already seen the Goddess of Victory smiling at him.

You are dead meat. He thought, then rushed up the mountain and pressed down on the muzzle of the gun. However, the scene in his eyes was not Ellen, who was leaning against the stone, but a deer with its neck cut open. There was a bloody uniform on its buttocks!

When Ma Ao made his move, a whistling wind suddenly sounded from behind him. He turned around and saw Alan jump up from the leafy ground. The Berserk Slaughterer in his hand swept a beautiful arc through the air and wiped his head!

It was a trap!

Maho finally realized that he shouted and immediately jumped down the rock. In the end, Kuang Tu didn't cut off his head. He only brushed his chest and plowed a wave of blood with the edge of his blade. Ma Ao landed on the ground, raised his gun and fired upwards, forcing Alan away, then turned around and ran away. He crashed into the woods in one breath, and not long after, a miserable scream came from the woods.

In that direction, there was another trap that Alan had set up. It was prepared to prevent the prey from escaping. It seemed that Maho had drilled into the trap. Alan picked up Kuang Tu and was about to catch up with Ma Ao when his hair stood on end behind his neck. He immediately rolled on the ground and jumped into the bushes. A few gunshots rang out from behind. From the sound, it sounded like the sound of an automatic pistol.

Alan's mind flashed across the hesitant, fearful face of a young girl: Merry!

She may feel desperate and helpless. But at this time, she also picked up her own two guns and began to fight. Considering that she and Mahal had been so close in the past two months, Alan didn't think she would cooperate with him. Without hesitation, he left in another direction.
