Bionic Era

"...I put the snow in my mouth very slowly so it doesn't feel my breath..."

This classic movie opening line rings out inside the SUV.

This is a movie that Xinhong IV 06-0000079 likes very much. He named himself Vasily for it.

Many years ago, not long after the machine was turned on, he accidentally saw that movie.

That movie woke him up.

As a military bionic man, he voluntarily applied to revoke the circuit breaker in his body, and promised to bring countless heads to the executive board who escaped from the bionic man.

He likes the sight of his prey in the scope.

Many times, he would bury himself under the yellow sand.

No man's land gave him a natural battlefield and camouflage.

He has an advantage over human snipers.

He can endure extreme weather and can stand still for long periods of time in extreme cold or intense heat.

Seeing the opponent appear in the scope, and then shot him dead, those blue blood splashed in the air.

That's a sense of accomplishment.

Sometimes, he is not too anxious.

He drives away his prey.

He hid under a certain window of an abandoned high-rise building, missed it on purpose, and then watched those androids running around desperately, hiding around, he would feel very comfortable, and he enjoyed that feeling.

"Vassily, your name will remain in the history books with honor, and number nine is just one of those honors."

He talked to himself.

The abandoned city where the Nine used to be is not far away.

He stopped the vehicle and took out his binoculars to watch.

As expected.

no one.

This is an empty city.

"No. 9, you can't go too far, I will catch up with you, take off your head, and show it to everyone."

Calmness and endurance are the most basic qualities of a sniper.

He once tracked it for half a month, and then buried it in the loess for two days and one night, just to wait for the right second.

It only needs to appear in his lens for a second, that's enough.

He enjoys the chase.

This is the hunter chasing the prey.

Vasily got back in the car and drove into the city.

He found some aging wires, tattered clothes, and useless limbs, all of which were traces of the androids' previous habitation.

"Just left this morning."

Based on the traces at the scene, he made a simple inference.

Vasily was in no hurry.

Massive androids move, usually very slowly, and cannot go very far.

And he's just one person.

Killing the leader of a group of androids is also very rewarding when you think about it.

He returned to the car and turned on the automatic driving.

The roar of the engine, accompanied by the sound of wind and sand, echoed in this empty city.

Vasily took out the sniper rifle that had been with him for many years and began to calibrate, and the distance of 300 meters was reset to zero.

"The weather in No Man's Land is good today. No. 9 must be very pleased to die on such a sunny day."

He had only heard of Number Nine, but had never actually seen it.

But judging by all the androids I've seen before, these guys are simple-minded.

The sun is soft.

But a dazzling light appeared on the tall building in the distance.

The blinding light hit the windshield of the car.

Vasily's heart trembled.

He made a mistake!

I haven't made such a low-level mistake for many years!

Years of victories have instilled in him an arrogance and prejudice against androids, even if he is an android himself.

"boom!"

A gunshot came from nowhere.

Car tires burst.

The body rolled over immediately, and rolled several times on the dry and cracked road, and the heavy body would throw out heavy dust.

Finally, it stopped, and the whole off-road was already on all fours.

The entire body has been severely deformed.

"Tick tock... tick tock..."

Vasily heard the sound of water.

The sound of oil spills!

Fortunately, he has modified his body, and his strength is strong enough.

Holding his sniper rifle, Vasily forcefully opened the car door with a "bang".

He is betting!

Bet that the bionic man on the tall building had no experience in sniping and couldn't kill him in just a few seconds.

Vasily rolled and crawled, rushing towards the dark windows of the abandoned building nearby.

"boom--!"

Another bullet.

Just hit the place he just escaped from.

dusty.

As long as he slowed down by half a step, his head was gone.

Vasily stepped up to the window in one step, and forced himself inside.

"boom!"

There was another shot.

The bullet hit the concrete wall outside the window.

"call……"

Vasily leaned against the inside of the window.

The world seemed to become quiet.

It was so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat.

Very thrilling!

But he managed to escape from being the prey!

"No. 9, you still lack experience after all."

Vasily knew he had made a mistake.

He was careless.

Caution should be an essential quality of a sniper.

He has kept this quality.

But the opponent was an android, so he let his guard down.

"Relax, Vasily, he can't see you now, the identities of prey and hunter have been switched."

He took a deep breath.

Control yourself, tell yourself that you may only have one chance to shoot.

He took off the hat on his head and picked it up with a sniper rifle.

It slowly stretched out to the window, revealing a small half of the hat.

waited for so long.

very quiet.

The expected gunshot did not come.

He also had no way of judging the position of the sniper.

But Vasily is also a bionic person, so he can call up his own memory fragments.

Through memory playback, he saw the tall building where the dazzling light was located before.

"No. 9, that position is not very suitable for hunting. It is facing the sun, and the light reflected by your scope will reveal your position."

He felt sorry for this opponent.

Although more interesting than other bionics, that's all.

The abandoned high-rise buildings on both sides of the street are connected together.

Vasily moved slowly through the building.

He controlled the sound of his footsteps.

Bent over.

The reinforced concrete of this ruin did not make any sound.

Until he came to the most suitable place to shoot.

"It's here."

Vasily calculated it countless times in his mind.

He took another deep breath.

Then he turned around suddenly and appeared by the window.

"boom!"

Quick shot.

Without any aiming, he had already calculated the conclusion.

After one shot, he hid in an instant.

The opponent seemed too late to fight back.

Vasily heard the sound of a body falling to the ground.

A smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

But he did not let his guard down.

According to the contact just now, No. 9 is more dangerous than other bionics.

Vasily did not rush out.

He tentatively pushed his hat over the window again, only a little this time.

after a long time.

Still no response.

Vasily walked out of his tall building carefully, quickly crossed a street, and rolled into another tall building.

"It's a pity. Finally, an interesting bionic person appeared. We should hunt it down for a few more days."

Vasily was sure Nine was dead.

He came to the position of the previous judgment with regret.

There was only a sniper rifle and a half of the bionic body that had already decayed.

The regret is gone.

He slumped down.

...

Good night, fellow readers!

The third one added for Qiaomei.

Thanks to book friend Jiufang Xiya for the reward.
