The soldier's fear was frozen on his face forever, bringing an unparalleled impact to the other companions. Except for Rankine, the remaining three soldiers screamed and turned around and ran away.

Rankine's danger level rose to the top in an instant!

"Don't run..."

Just as Rankine spoke to warn him, three thorns suddenly pierced in the darkness, passing through the throats of the three soldiers with unparalleled accuracy. The sharp vines brought out a puff of blood and took away three lives at the same time!

When the vines retracted, the darkness returned to silence, and only Rankine's roaring breathing sounded.

After his chest rose and fell rapidly three times, Rankine roared, quickly changed the magazine, and shot again and again into the darkness.

The muzzle kept emitting fire, but this time, there was no sound of hitting the metal. A vine swam in the darkness like a snake, curled up his ankle without Rankine's awareness, and waved it fiercely. Suddenly, Rankine lost his balance and was thrown towards the abandoned warehouse next to him by the vine.

Rankine slammed into the wall, and the force of the impact made him stare at Venus. While trying to restore clarity to his consciousness, he saw a pair of feet.

Looking up again, he was a thin man in a large trench coat. There was a cruel smile on the man's face, and behind him, there were seven or eight thorns and vines swinging irregularly like the tentacles of an octopus.

Rankine struggled to get the pistol that fell aside, but one of the vines behind the man hit the pistol one step at a time. With a light wave of the vine, the pistol slid into the darkness in a circular motion. Following that, the vine rolled towards Rankine. Rankine suddenly bounced up and slammed his hands and feet on the ground at the same time, causing him to fall to the man's left side like lightning.

The vine curled up, and the man with an unexpected expression looked at Rankine and said, "It seems that you don't want to die."

"Nonsense, who would think he has a long life?" Rankin replied.

"Very well, so maybe we can make a deal." He bowed to Rankine like a gentleman and said: "My name is Gunabelle, and I am honored to meet your Excellency. Let me put it this way, as long as you answer one of my questions, then I I can't kill you."

Rankine's face was blue and did not answer. He clenched fists with both hands and trembled slightly, unable to see whether he was nervous or afraid.

Gunabell took all this in his eyes and smiled and said: "I want to ask you about a man, a soldier named Zero. Tell me where he is, and the reward is your life."

Rankin showed an unexpected expression and said: "So you are looking for zero trouble. I saw that guy was not pleasing to my eyes. It couldn't be easier to tell you where he is."

"Oh, the answer is?"

"Well, that fellow Zero is..."

Seeing to find out where Zero is going, Gunabelle couldn't help showing an expression of listening intently. Although he knew that Zero was in this base, the underground base of Cossacks was too big. If Gunabel is not clear about the specific movement of Zero, it is really not an easy task to find him in a short time. Now that he finally heard the exact news, Gunabell was not only slightly happy.

So he didn't notice that the warehouse buildings on both sides of him shook slightly at this time.

"Where is he?" Gunabelle asked.

"He's right behind you!" Rankin yelled suddenly, showing a shocked expression.

Gunabel was also taken aback and turned quickly, but there was no figure behind him. Just when he realized that he was being played, he was about to get angry when the warehouses on both sides suddenly fell towards him with earth-shaking noises. Things came too hurriedly, and Gunabel could only scream as he was overwhelmed by the shadows. At the moment of being submerged by the stone flow, he felt the power of the faint earth element remaining on the warehouse building.

That was the result of Rankine's elemental shock. He clenched his fist and shook his whole body. It's just the performance of his full strength to condense the earth elements. Now Rankine panted and said with a smile: "I don't like zero, and at the same time don't like being threatened!"

Looking at Gunabelle who was overwhelmed by a hill-like ruin, Rankin spit in his direction and walked towards the dark place where his pistol was. But when Rankine picked up his weapon, there was a click behind him.

This is the sound of a rubble falling to the ground, followed by the second and third...

Finally, there was a loud bang, and hundreds of black shadows pierced from the rock pile in the huge dust and smoke that shook up. It spreads around like a flower in full bloom, and finally hits the ground. These dark shadows are Gunabelle's thorn vines, and they suddenly rise after they hit the ground. Immediately, countless rubble was lifted up, and then rolled down to both sides. In the end, the vines supported Gunabell, allowing him to rise slowly from the ruins.

Gunabel's face was so bad that he couldn't get worse, he didn't expect that he would be tricked by a mouse. He looked at Rankine and said in a cold and merciless voice: "Did you choose to commit suicide, or are you going to let me do it myself."

Rankine gave a wry smile.

The elemental shock just now has consumed his last strength, and in his pistol, there is still the last bullet.

No matter how you look at it, this bullet is for yourself.

He raised the pistol with a wry smile, then moved to his forehead. Rankine murmured: "Suicide..."

Suddenly, his eyes became sharp.

"Kill you shit!"

In the roar of anger, Rankine turned his gun and turned towards Gunabelle's chest. He was about to press the trigger to declare his indomitability. But suddenly his whole body shook, but a vine pierced from the ground behind Rankine somehow, pierced the back of Rankine's head, and directly pierced his forehead between his brows.

The vine suddenly retracted, and the body that lost its support immediately fell to the ground. The vine sank into the metal ground, and finally appeared under Gunabelle's feet and retracted into his body.

Gunabelle fell to the ground, and the hundreds of vines that propped up his body shrank into his clothes. He glanced at Rankine's body coldly, then turned around and left.

When the figure of the thin man disappeared at the entrance to the third floor base, the area became quiet again. Whether it was the murderous aura released by Gunabear or the last elemental shock launched by Rankine, it warned the living corpses wandering nearby that there was an inhuman battle here. But not long after, footsteps broke the silence of the base again.

Anthony and his party came to the place where the Demolition Team was slaughtered by Gunabear.

Although it was a competitor, everyone sighed as they watched the five people including Rankine killed them all. At Anthony's instruction, they collected the bodies of members of the Demolition Team and piled them together.

Anthony personally walked to Rankine's corpse, the vicious captain sighed for some reason, and then picked up Rankine's pistol. In the pistol, there was a bullet that Rankine hadn't had time to shoot out. Anthony gently retracted the bullet and then put the pistol on Rankine's body.

"Captain?" Luca looked at Anthony and asked, "What should I do?"

"Cremated." Anthony whispered: "Although Rankine was a stupid, he finally died like a man. He deserves the least respect, and the corpse cannot become food for living corpses after death. So, Cremate them."

Anthony raised his head, looked at Luca and said, "Legend, true warriors can be taken to heaven. I hope Rankine can be reborn in the fire!"

After that, Anthony turned and left. Looking at the background of the captain, Luca felt that he seemed to have undergone some subtle changes due to Rankine's death.

He was not idle either, and took out a piece of solid fuel that was originally used in the march from the carrying equipment. After Luca crushed it, he sprinkled it on the bodies of members of the Demolition Team. Following him, he looked at Oram, who nodded and took out a lighter from his body.

Oram's thumb brushed the pulley, the spark sparked by the flint fell into the liquid, and a flame immediately rose from the lighter. Oram looked solemn, and gently tossed the lighter onto the corpse.

In the darkness, the lighter spins and leaves a circle of flames in the space. When it fell on the corpse, it instantly ignited the fixed fuel. With a bang, a blue-white flame suddenly rose up.

The high temperature released by the flames made the hair of everyone nearby slightly curled, but no one wanted to leave. They just watched the bodies of Rankine and the other players gradually melt in the thousand-degree high temperature flame released by solid burning. That's right, not only Anthony, but also the players including Luca think Rankine is not smart. Although behind this man is supported by his uncle as a councillor, Rankine's talent is limited, and his potential and achievements are almost predictable.

However, this man who was branded as stupid, reckless, etc. broke out with great courage in the last days of his life. Rankine died, but left as a warrior who was not afraid of strong enemies. Therefore, he received the respect he deserved.

Looking at the corpse in the flame, everyone hoped that it was also their home. The soldiers of Asgart, instead of asking them to die in silence, they would rather choose to die vigorously!

When the flames gradually extinguished ~lightnovelpub.net~ Anthony's voice interrupted their respective thoughts.

"Go, Rankine can stop here, but we can't!"

Anthony was the first to walk in the direction of the third floor entrance, and the others followed Anthony and left after bowing to the dead on fire. Luca walked quickly to the captain's side and asked: "What shall we do next?"

"Of course it's working hard to complete the task!" A smile was drawn from the corner of Anthony's mouth: "You should have heard it too, that man is looking for zero trouble. In this way, the situation is beneficial to us."

"But that person killed Rankine and them, I think he is a common enemy!" Luca emphasized.

Anthony stopped and said coldly: "The enemy's enemy is a friend, or in other words, do you think Zero is our friend?"

Lucca shut his mouth knowingly, and Anthony said he ignored his best friend and went straight forward. Looking at this figure, Luca shook his head.

It turned out to be an illusion just now. Luca said softly in his heart.
