Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Chapter 5 Run quickly...?
Being followed.

It won't be some big girl who has a crush on him.

Even if she is a girl, it is not a good thing to be able to track herself in the wilderness with a level 12 stealth skill.

"Your Excellency, you have been following me for so long." Lu Meng slowly straightened up, "What are you doing here?"

But apart from Lu Meng's voice, there was nothing strange about the surrounding ruins, so naturally no one responded to him.

Lu Meng said to himself: "Is it my imagination?"

Still no response.

"It seems that I have been too nervous recently. I need to relax when I go back..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Meng ran away!

At this time, a strong man rushed out of the ruins in the distance and said angrily: "Don't run, kid!"

The person who came was none other than Song Chai.

According to his original idea, even though what He Falcon said was so mysterious, he was too lazy to personally track the scavengers who could be seen everywhere in the wasteland, so he could just send one of his subordinates there.

But firstly, this kid seemed to have a close relationship with the Xizhen Bar, especially Wei Hong. Secondly, He Shuan also repeatedly insisted that he seize the opportunity. Once Lu Meng escaped to the wilderness, it would not be so easy to find him.

In addition, after losing several times in a row, I felt frustrated and panicked, so I just wanted to find someone to relieve my anger.

Song Chai originally planned to wait until Lu Meng was far away before taking action, lest he escape back to the Xizhen Tavern, which would make it difficult to take action again.

Measured by game values, including perception and stealth, his various attribute skill levels have already exceeded those of ordinary scavengers.

As the leader of the Wugen Gang, he is even more of a "warrior".

[Warrior], if you are a player, you can only get such an evaluation after your actual combat level exceeds level 20.

Song Chai was confident that he would not be discovered by Lu Meng, so he had previously thought that Lu Meng was deceiving a possible stalker. He happily prepared to watch the scavenger perform like a clown, imagining his shocked expression when he suddenly appeared. .

Unexpectedly, Lu Meng was indeed acting, but he was numbing himself.

The scavenger didn't know when he discovered that someone was following him, and then he calculated his psychology correctly and took the opportunity to escape.

The opportunity passed in a blink of an eye. This scavenger seemed to be very familiar with the terrain. In a blink of an eye, he was already separated by more than ten meters.

Song Chai quickly caught up.

There is no point in using harsh words at this time. Judging from the reactions of both parties, no one is naive enough to think that the problem can be solved by relying on the chat stream.

What's more, it's He Shun's job to play tricks, and what Song Chai has to do is to beat up this scavenger who is playing tricks on him!
Lu Meng discovered it in time. He was not far from the Xizhen Tavern at this moment. If he ran away with all his strength, he could still rush back and hug Wei Hong's thigh.

But Lu Meng did not choose to escape back to the Xizhen Tavern.

Just kidding, he is a dignified messenger from the headquarters. He can't even deal with a gangster at the hub. Wouldn't he be exposed on the spot?
And Lu Meng is not panicked at all. He has been so high-profile in the past few months, so it is normal for him to be targeted.

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.Someone jumped out on his own initiative, which was Lu Meng's opportunity.

If the problem can be solved by just trying to be patient, then of course it would be best.

It's a pity that people don't look for trouble, but trouble looks for others.

Lu Meng made a rough assessment of the visitor's size and the valuable leather jacket, and knew that this time the enemy was not as easy to deal with as some scavengers with evil intentions.

He had anticipated the current situation in the bar and prepared for it.

These days, it is very difficult to obtain poison that can seal one's throat upon seeing blood, but it is not impossible to substitute it.

The medicine he previously applied to some crossbow arrows was an anticoagulant included in the medical module. It can prevent blood coagulation and can be used clinically to prevent blood clots and avoid complications of myocardial infarction after surgery.

But in another scenario, it can also become a deadly poison!
There is a type of snake venom that has an anticoagulant effect, which can cause severe internal bleeding, shock or even death in the person bitten.

Logically speaking, with Lu Meng's level 0 medical knowledge on the attribute panel, he would not be able to distinguish the functions of the medicines in the medical module.

At most, it can only be operated in a one-click and fool-proof manner according to the process.

However, he actually remembered such game tips in his previous life.

It seems that the attribute panel is not omnipotent, at least it cannot reflect implicit attributes such as "past life memory" and "game experience".

Lu Meng pulled out a miniature crossbow arrow and put it on the hand crossbow, then stopped running away and turned around to aim at the strong man Song Chai.

All this happened in a blink of an eye. By the time Song Chai discovered that Lu Meng was aiming at him, he had already rushed within the shooting range.

The hand crossbow in Lu Meng's hand has a black bow body and a silver trigger. It is also engraved with complicated patterns. It is worth a lot at first glance.

The crossbow arrows placed on the arrow trough carved from mahogany were pointed at him, and the arrow clusters were still shining dangerously.

Oops!Song Chai was surprised. He had never heard anyone mention that this scavenger was also a crossbowman.

He Falcon mistaken me!

Seeing Lu Meng pull the trigger, Song Chai had no time to dodge, so he could only curl up and use his arms to protect his face, chest and abdomen, hoping to use his strong body to buffer the damage.

After taking this arrow, take advantage of the gap between Lu Meng and his gun to rush in and kill him!
Whoosh!
Not feeling the expected severe pain, Song Chai raised his head, only to see a several-inch-long crossbow arrow falling beside him.

The flash of steel arrow clusters seemed to still be mocking him.

This guy can't shoot an arrow at all!By the time Song Chai reacted, Lu Meng had already run more than ten meters.Being tricked again, Song Chai was so angry that he drew out the machete from his waist and continued to catch up.

Originally, he wanted to try to capture Lu Meng alive as He Shuan had told him, but now he just wanted to chop this hateful scavenger into pieces from head to toe!
Lu Meng continued to run. Of course he couldn't shoot arrows. Now the [Combat (Remote) Skills] column on his attribute panel still showed "None".

But it wasn't there originally, and it was there after a few more shots.

The crossbow arrows he used just now were not "poisonous arrows" quenched with anticoagulant. A novice who just picked up a crossbow would be crazy if he could hit the first arrow with the first arrow. Practice with ordinary crossbow arrows to avoid wasting medicine.

Moreover, Lu Meng was able to frighten Song Chai. In addition to using his subconscious reaction, the appearance of the hand crossbow given to him by Wei Hong was also very important.

Although it is displayed as [Scrap Crossbow] in Lu Meng's attribute panel, which is not even the lowest level [Toothpick Crossbow], its workmanship is really exquisite and dangerous.

After Song Chai entered the shooting range, Lu Meng repeated his old trick and shot a few more arrows. Although they missed, they could still slow down Song Chai's speed slightly.

The maximum range of this hand crossbow is 30 meters, and the effective range is only 20 meters. Often after shooting an arrow, Lu Meng has to continue running, and change positions after shooting.

But even though Lu Meng was familiar with the terrain, Song Chai was actually faster than Lu Meng, and when he realized that Lu Meng's crossbow arrows posed no threat at all, he simply continued to charge towards the crossbow arrows regardless.

Lu Meng needed to speed up again when escaping, and the distance between the two gradually shortened.

Once Song Chai catches up with Lu Meng, he will most likely be in trouble.

But Lu Meng is not panic at all, because...

[Remote skill: Crossbow 0→1 (entry)]

He finally got it.

Lu Meng replaced the "Poison Arrow" and shot Song Chai in the arm with one arrow, causing him to grin in pain and then cursed loudly.

It's not enough, it takes time for anticoagulants to kick in.

The medicine on his arm could at best slow down his movements, but was not enough to affect his whole body.

He needed to hit the mark.

Lu Meng stopped and placed the crossbow steadily on his arm, as if his body and machine were integrated into one.He drew out the crossbow and loaded it skillfully, no longer as awkward as the first time.

Pulling the trigger, this time the crossbow bolt passed by Song Chai's shoulder.

Song Chai couldn't help but laugh. After so many trials, he had already figured out the details of this scavenger. Not only did he not know how to shoot, but the crossbow he used was also very powerful. Even if he was lucky enough to shoot it on himself, he would just wipe it. Break the skin.

He was tired of this childish chasing game. Now he just wanted to catch Lu Meng as quickly as possible, break his limbs like he punished all the refugees who dared to disobey him, and then tear him into pieces alive, so that he could play with himself. Cleverness pays the price.

After missing an arrow, Lu Meng did not turn around and run like before. He continued to stay where he was, holding his breath and concentrating. He adjusted his breathing in just a few seconds to quickly calm down the heartbeat that had been accelerated due to strenuous exercise.

In Song Chai's eyes, Lu Meng looked like he had given up and stood there stupidly.

20 meters, 15 meters, 10 meters... The distance keeps getting closer, and Lu Meng's situation becomes more and more dangerous.

But this also means that his probability of hitting will become higher and higher!
Load, aim.

[Basic attribute: Perception 7→8]

The most important skill of a hunter is not to kill the prey, but to find and target the prey.

Using a crossbow to aim at enemies without any distractions is also the best way to train your perception attributes.

5 meters...pull.

Song Chai suddenly rolled sideways.

He still kept an eye out and didn't become Lu Meng's target.

The close quarters are his domain!

Even if it just hits him, the impact will shatter the scavenger into pieces.

But when Song Chai stood up, what caught his eyes was the cold light of arrow clusters.

The crossbow arrow stayed on the hand crossbow and was not fired.

Just now, Lu Meng just made an action of pulling the trigger, a feint shot worthy of the name.

Now his eyes are colder than arrow clusters.

Chi!
[Remote skill: Crossbow 1→2 (entry)]

The crossbow arrow penetrated the leather jacket and plunged into Song Chai's ribs.

With such a huge target and such a close distance, coupled with the speed bonus of charging towards Song Chai, it would be a mistake to miss it.

Song Chai grunted in pain and still raised his knife to slash at Lu Meng with a ferocious expression.

It's just a few crossbow arrows, it's nothing.But he didn't expect that he would actually lose the prize, which somewhat made him lose face.

Then, he saw Lu Meng take a step back and hit the target.

Eh?When did this scavenger move so quickly?

Song Chai stretched out his big hand, trying to catch Lu Meng, but then his eyes darkened and he fell down with a ferocious expression.
