"Damn it!" A bead of cold sweat trickled down Thomas Xu's forehead as he cursed himself for being too careless. He gently moved his feet, trying to distance himself from the previous position. If the sniper shot through the wall, the consequences would be terrifying. Once he steadied himself, he shouted, "We can surrender, but let that sniper come out with the gun first, and then you all come out one by one with your hands up!"
"Okay, okay, we'll come out right now… please don't shoot, don't shoot!" The voice belonged to the same big bearded man, and immediately after, a woman's almost broken sobbing followed. The big man trembled as he pulled a beautiful girl, her face covered in tears, slowly out from behind the car, both hands raised with an SVD sniper rifle.
"Yes, that's the sniper!" Thomas Xu cautiously used a piece of broken glass to reflect and look outside. Sure enough, he saw the woman wearing a baseball cap, but he didn't expect her to be such a young girl, crying uncontrollably, showing no awareness of being a soldier.
"Get all your people out, and leave the guns where they are!" After exchanging glances with Thomas Xu, Jack shouted to the outside.
After a full minute, five people gradually stood up from behind the two cars. These people were of various ages, both men and women, all wearing expressions of uncontrollable fear. Judging by their attire, they didn't look much like armed soldiers, yet they all had the demeanor of seasoned veterans accustomed to carrying guns.
Seeing everyone come out with their hands raised, Jack and Thomas Xu confirmed that no one was hiding. After Thomas Xu signaled Jack to cover him, he took the initiative to walk out with his gun raised.
"Hey~ big beard, where did you monsters come from? Your weapons are impressive, both Russian and American, and even some obscure French guns!"
Thomas Xu stood at the door for a long time without seeing the cold gun. The worry he had been holding in his heart was finally relieved. He walked up to the bearded man and the girl with a smile and looked at the sniper guns they held above their heads. Thomas Xu hooked up and said, "I have a sniper gun." In the end, the gun was not even released. Sister, playing with a gun is really not suitable for you. You see that your breasts are so big that you can hardly hold the gun. Throw the gun to me. If you have time, brother will teach you how to play with this big gun under me... eh? "
Thomas Xu was happily teasing the crying girl. After taking the sniper gun thrown by the bearded man, he immediately noticed something was wrong as soon as he got it, because the gun was too light. Even the SVD of an empty gun should not be so light. The gun with full ammunition and scope weighed about eleven or two kilograms, but no matter how it felt now, this gun was only about five kilograms, which was half lighter and still turned.
With a "click", Thomas Xu opened the bolt of the sniper gun and unloaded its magazine in disbelief. Thomas Xu immediately threw the sniper gun with exposed wires on the ground in a dumbfounded voice. He looked at the bearded man in front of him speechlessly and said, "The ones you just aimed at us are all fakes like this?"
"Well, they are all imitation guns," the bearded man nodded and said with a pale face.
As soon as Big Beard finished speaking, Thomas Xu immediately ran to the back of their car with his gun on his back, and checked the guns they threw on the ground one by one, as well as the guns in the hands of those who were killed by him. Big Beard did not lie, these people were holding high simulation guns that shoot BB bullets, which are also commonly known as electric dogs.
"Brother Lin, come out and take a look. I think these people are so courageous." Thomas Xu walked back with a M4A1 in one hand and handed one to Jack who came out with a frown. Jack tilted his head and looked at the gun in his hand. He shook his head expressionlessly and said, "You are indeed very courageous."
"They are the only ones who are as bold as a leopard and a leopard." Thomas Xu nodded with a smile. He took off the tactical flashlight and scope hanging on the fake gun. After looking through it, he said happily, "Hey, this flashlight is really good. It costs more than a thousand dollars. But the scope is a bit muddy and is no better than the street stall I picked up in the park. It's just a decoration."
"The one on my sniper gun is the best thing. Where is the Bushnell I bought for more than 30,000 yuan?" The girl wearing a baseball cap suddenly muttered in a low voice, but was quickly pulled behind her by the bearded man next to her. She looked at Thomas Xu with a panicked face, for fear that he would go crazy.
"Hey~ it can still measure the range. It's indeed a good thing." Thomas Xu immediately picked up the sniper gun he had just thrown away, took off the scope and rummaged around for a while. He stuffed it into his pants pocket with great satisfaction and said to the girl with a smile, "But sister, spend more than 30,000 to install a scope on a fake gun. Are you a military enthusiast?"
"Well, we are all enthusiasts." The girl glanced at Thomas Xu timidly and nodded, then pouted and said aggrievedly, "Brother... we are just too hungry and can't stand it anymore. We just want to scare you. There is no other intention. You have also seen our guns. They are all fake guns. Can you let us go?"
"Are you trying to scare us? I think you are going crazy with hunger. Are you having too much fun now?" Thomas Xu shook his head with a wry smile, reached out and patted the brim of the girl's head, and said angrily, "We all thought you were trained regulars. Soldiers, if we hadn't put our rocket launcher in the car, we would have blasted you into the sky with a rocket. Do you think that the guns in our hands are fake like yours? Fortunately, you shrank quickly just now. I was ready to kill you first."
"Brother... The sniper must be hiding quickly, changing places after every shot!" The little girl, seeing that Thomas Xu didn't have a fierce expression, playfully stuck out her tongue, showing a bit of a carefree attitude.
"You think you're a sniper? Wearing a white hat at night, how can you hide where others can't see you?" Thomas Xu was almost amused to the point of laughter by the girl. Being a sniper isn't something that can be mastered overnight; even he had been eliminated during the selection process back in the day. Those top snipers are not just trained with truckloads of bullets; talent and personality are also crucial factors. Too lively a person is simply not suited to be a sniper because you must first endure loneliness.
"Where did you get that hat?" Jack was also amused by the girl's innocent words, but he noticed the brand new white baseball cap on her head, which had a row of golden NewEra logos that looked very familiar to him.
"I just found the hat on the road; it was hanging on a little tree!" The girl paused for a moment upon hearing this, then took off the hat from her head and handed it to Thomas Xu.
"Haha~ This seems to be the hat that Old Gao lost in the afternoon! So you all came the same way as us!" Thomas Xu examined the baseball cap and then handed it back to the girl, curiously asking, "It looks like you guys are not doing so well!"
"Well, we finished all the food by noon yesterday, and we can't find anything around here. We don't dare to enter the city or the towns; I'm almost starving!" The girl took the hat back and held it in her hands, gently tugging at it while secretly glancing at Thomas Xu's expression.
"Ha! The road you came from has long been swept through by the people in the gathering place; it would be a miracle to find food! But little sister, there's plenty of food here; do you want to eat something now?" Thomas Xu asked with a smile.
"Yes, I want to eat canned fruit!" The girl immediately nodded her head, smiling innocently.
"Then come with me; I'll get you a few cans, we have pineapples, oranges, and more!" Thomas Xu waved to the girl with a smile, and she was immediately excited to follow, but was suddenly grabbed by a young woman behind her, who urgently shouted, "Xiao Jie, don't go..."
"But sister..." The girl was taken aback, looking at the anxious expression on her sister's face. She immediately understood what the young woman was worried about; she was afraid that the yard was a Dexter den, and Thomas Xu was the humanoid hungry Dexter.
"Hey! Are you still afraid that I have ulterior motives?" Thomas Xu turned around, took the gun off his back, and rested it on his shoulder. He amusingly patted the gun in his hand and said disdainfully, "Would I really deceive a little girl? If I wanted to do something, I could just do it right here. Can you fly away? Just think about it, even if you don't eat, it's fine. Right now, canned fruit is worth more than rice!"
"Brother, I want to eat, I want to eat!" The girl saw that Thomas Xu looked a bit unhappy and immediately turned around to shout.
"Then what flavor do you want?" Thomas Xu said with apparent helplessness. It seemed that this girl was really innocent; if he were a human-shaped hungry Dexter, she would be sending herself right into Dexter's mouth.
"Do you have pineapple?" The girl tilted her head and licked her lips as she spoke.
"Well, I really don't know. I don't like that stuff; it's mostly the women who eat it. Let me ask for you!" Thomas Xu said as he turned around and waved to the yard, shouting, "Bingbing, bring me a few bottles of canned food, make sure it's pineapple!"
