Rose Armed mercenaries staggered toward the source of the bullets. All had been corroded by the poisonous gas, falling into a poisoned state. Only Dorothy, with the physique of a martial artist, barely resisted, rushing to the front.

Han Xiao remained calm, swapping to armor-piercing rounds, firing precise shots. The gunfire seemed to carry a steady rhythm, picking off the Rose Armed mercenaries one by one. Their bulletproof vests couldn't withstand the penetration of the armor-piercing rounds. Enhanced by his various skills, each sniper shot dealt over 130 points of theoretical damage. These ordinary mercenaries were only around level five to eight, with about 150 health. One shot left them near death, and with the added bleeding, burning, and poison gas, he didn't even need a second shot, making his killing efficiency extremely high.

He deliberately left Dorothy for last, eliminating her helpers first, saving the strongest to deal with alone.

After killing the last ordinary mercenary, Dorothy finally reached him, raising her modified submachine gun and firing wildly.

Han Xiao ducked his head, and the bullets all hit the sand dune, kicking up a cloud of sand.

Dorothy ran and fired, and when her magazine was empty, she finally reached Han Xiao. A cruel expression immediately surfaced on her face.

A sniper being approached by a martial artist was a death sentence!

Dorothy couldn't wait to smash Han Xiao's head, just like she had done to others dozens of times before.

"Tiger Hunting Elbow!"

Dorothy swung her elbow horizontally like an axe, whistling through the air, aimed at Han Xiao's head. She was certain this elbow strike would splatter Han Xiao's brains.

The fierce elbow strike missed. Han Xiao suddenly slipped backward three meters like an eel.

"Sliding Shot!"

Like a phantom, Han Xiao drew the two Mad Eagle pistols from his lower back, enhanced by Overload and Rapid Fire. In an instant, he pumped seven or eight armor-piercing rounds into Dorothy's body.

Dorothy cried out in pain, but her eyes revealed a triumphant madness. She suddenly drew a shotgun from her back, blasting a spray of buckshot, blanketing Han Xiao.

"The shotgun has the greatest killing power at this range. No matter who you are, you're dead!"

The thought flashed through Dorothy's mind, but the next moment, she was shocked by what she saw.

Scale-like armor instantly covered Han Xiao's upper body. The buckshot hit the armor, sending out a large burst of sparks. His current technology could create magnetic-controlled armor covering his upper body, and the area was even larger.

Silly you, I have armor!

The next moment, Han Xiao sent all the bullets in his magazine into Dorothy's body. Only martial artists at Pan Quan's level could barely withstand bullets with their flesh. Dorothy was far from that level, unable to withstand the power of large-caliber bullets. She coughed up blood and fell, her bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at Han Xiao, her lips moving, as if she wanted to say something.

Bang! Han Xiao directly blew the head off this black woman.

It was common knowledge that snipers were weak in close combat. Pan Quan once thought so too, and then he died.

[You have killed Dorothy (lv25), you have gained 7500 experience.]

In the early stages, snipers had long-range suppressive power, making it very convenient to kill monsters, but only large guilds would train them, because snipers were too expensive. Even the worst sniper rifle cost tens of thousands, and each sniper caliber bullet was very expensive. Every shot fired was money, and ordinary snipers didn't have Han Xiao's magnetic-controlled extension armor. Once someone got close, they would be completely beaten.

Han Xiao rummaged through Dorothy's corpse and found that Dorothy's guns had been modified. Judging from the technique, the Rose Armed should have a mechanic with decent skills.

Killing this group of enemies earned him more than ten thousand experience. The flames of the poison-bursting incendiary bomb would burn for a long time, and it wouldn't be long before it attracted enemies.

He recovered the EMP jammer, returned to the car, and drove away.

Not long after he left, a group of Gordon mercenaries arrived at the scene and were immediately shocked by the sight.

"These are people from the Rose Armed."

"Who ambushed them?"

As the Gordon mercenaries were about to get out of the car to investigate, Luo Qing, who had come to support with an armed squad, also arrived at the scene and immediately saw the companions who had died miserably on the ground and the Gordon mercenaries parked at the scene.

"Fire!"

The two sides had a long-standing conflict, and they were especially hostile when they met. Explanations were impossible, they would fight first.

Luo Qing didn't hesitate and ordered the attack. The Gordon mercenaries immediately fought back, and a fierce firefight broke out, the sound of gunfire and explosions echoing through the night sky.

Soon, teams from several other forces were also attracted. Seeing the Rose Armed and Gordon fighting fiercely, they wanted to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, and immediately joined the firefight, turning the scene into a melee.

After fighting for a while, several armed gangs from farther away also arrived at the scene. They hadn't figured out the situation yet, but seeing everyone fighting, what was the difference between not joining in the fun and being a salted fish? They all joined in, happily acting as the stirring stick in the team battle.

After fighting for most of the night, all the gangs suffered losses, sounded the retreat, and went back to lick their wounds. The last few forces to arrive even forgot why they were fighting, and slipped away after the fight.

The Rose Armed brought back twenty corpses, most of which had only one fatal wound from a sniper bullet.

"It seems that it wasn't Gordon who ambushed Dorothy and the others, but a sniper," Gui Hu said.

Luo Qing's face was gloomy, secretly pondering who would attack them. The Rose Armed's enemies were all in the Somal Desert, and any fighting should be head-on conflicts. This kind of solo ambush scene reminded her of more than two years ago, when the Charles Rhode family had just issued a reward for them, and many assassins had come alone to deal with the Rose Armed.

"Another assassin who accepted the reward?" Luo Qing frowned. The Rose Armed hadn't been harassed by assassins for more than a year.

After more than a year, has another hothead forgotten the lessons of the past?

Dorothy's death was very tragic, as if she had been shot at close range, indicating that this sniper probably had some close combat ability.

A petite woman walked over, wearing an oil-stained coat, and said softly, "I found the tracks of the assassin leaving, going southeast. There are a total of three forces in that direction, the closest being the Farian Group's stronghold."

"Thank you for your hard work, Su Li."

Su Li was the Rose Armed's mechanic, responsible for the maintenance and modification of firearms, vehicles, and defensive facilities.

"I found fragments of the landmine explosion at the scene. This was a premeditated trap. The outer shell of the landmine was made of Farian Group materials, and the assassin's base of operations may be Farian's stronghold. I tried to reconstruct the structure of the landmine, and it seems to be a new type of explosive that I've never seen before. The explosion method should be related to gas."

Luo Qing narrowed her eyes. This assassin seemed difficult to deal with, but she wasn't worried. She dialed an encrypted phone number and contacted the backer.

"Mr. Sestian, we are being hunted by an assassin. We lost a team of twenty people."

An old, hoarse voice came from the phone, "I will send someone over to take care of it."

Whenever an assassin appeared, the Rose Armed's backer would send "professionals" to deal with the assassin. This was the reason why countless assassins were buried in Somal.

The professionals who deal with assassins are also assassins.
