Apocalypse: Launching a Counterattack Against the Villainess

Page 196

"Are you sure you really killed the guy who had this in his bag?"

Nie Qingyun didn't know why the other party would ask such a question, but she still carefully recalled the events of that day in her mind.

He had analyzed the two people's abilities using the "Apocalypse Survival Guide," and he was also the one who disposed of the corpses, so he nodded seriously and said:

"Dead beyond dead..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hehuan's gaze suddenly became somewhat complicated.

Although she was in no mood to praise Nie Qingyun because of what happened last night, she had to admit in her heart that the guy in front of her was indeed very good at combat.

Because she understands this data-driven world's power system better than anyone else.

At this stage, even if an ordinary person obtains attribute enhancements and skills, they can at most be considered a "stronger human," and have not yet reached the point of being invulnerable to swords and spears.

Those guys who went to the front lines have spent the last few years, even the last decade or so, learning how to kill.

In terms of overall combat capability, even with the added advantage of special abilities, ordinary people would certainly not be a match for these people.

On the other side, Nie Qingyun had noticed an extremely sensitive word in the other party's words from the beginning. Seeing that Qin Hehuan seemed a little distracted, he directly tapped the table lightly with his hand.

“I say, Mr. President… if I remember correctly, you are the sole heir to the entire Sabak Consortium…”

Upon hearing this, Qin Hehuan suddenly revealed a cryptic smile and said:

"What, do you want me to step in and make those shady characters come out and apologize to you?"

Nie Qingyun chuckled softly upon hearing this, then looked the girl up and down before replying:

"Hmm, that seems to make sense..."

"However, if I were a leader within your conglomerate with considerable military strength..."

"At times like these, we'll capture you and make you our bandit queen."

"Incidentally, we can use the emperor to command the feudal lords."

Qin Hehuan stared silently at Nie Qingyun before her, remaining silent for a long time.

The other person's seemingly teasing tone revealed her predicament. It wasn't something that couldn't be said, but being told it like that made her feel like she was being overpowered.

At the same time, they also began to wonder how the other party managed to take care of two well-trained reconnaissance agents, even with Cheng Yuqiu as a burden.

It's important to understand that winning a direct confrontation is completely different from stopping two people who are determined to escape.

After a few seconds, Qin Hehuan continued:

"Tell me the details of the attack; maybe we can find something out from it."

Nie Qingyun didn't mind this abrupt change of topic.

In interpersonal communication, not all questions need a direct answer; sometimes, "not answering" is already a form of response.

Moreover, he had long been aware of the woman's situation.

So the rest of the time became a one-sided report from Nie Qingyun.

Saotome listened very attentively, even taking notes on the key details.

But as he listened, his eyes widened, especially when he heard that Cheng Yuqiu had fallen into a broadsword trap; his heart clenched with anxiety.

Faced with such a treacherous arrangement, if it were her, she probably wouldn't even have a chance to fight head-on and would have died on the way...

By the end, even Qin Hehuan's gaze returned to scrutiny, and she couldn't help but ask curiously:

"You spotted the enemy's observation post from several kilometers away?"

Nie Qingyun had nothing to hide about this, and pointed to himself, saying:

"Attribute enhancements to the human body also include sensory enhancements..."

"This isn't a matter of viewing distance..." Qin Hehuan suddenly interrupted:

"Even with increased observation distance, it's still impossible to accurately pinpoint the enemy's hiding place without their knowledge, right?"

Hearing this, Nie Qingyun finally understood what the other person was asking, so he calmly recounted the details before the attack, and then added:

"This kind of knowledge was taught during the military training for students entering Linjiangtai..."

"What about the sights?" Qin Hehuan frowned and continued to ask:

"I don't recall the training camp covering anything about how to distinguish the working principles of military-grade sights..."

“The library has information on this topic,” Nie Qingyun replied succinctly.

However, this made Qin Hehuan even more curious. She had felt that Nie Qingyun was a bit special before, and now it seemed that he was more than just "special".

A flash of light, and in the blink of an eye, a black pistol suddenly appeared in Qin Hehuan's hand, which she then extended forward:

Do you recognize this?

Nie Qingyun assumed the other party had some clues, examined the pistol carefully, and then, after recalling for a moment, said:

"A semi-automatic pistol designed and mass-produced by the Hemjow Military Industrial Company in the Indian suburbs at the end of the last century, compatible with both .45mm flat-rimmed and .357 Magnum cartridges. However, the slide safety used here was probably from the very first prototype..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Hehuan took out a miniature rifle from the [Data Space] again.

"what about this?"

Nie Qingyun glanced at it and, just like before, explained the origin of the firearm and all the derivative models it had been used, completely unaware of the somewhat incredulous expression on the girl's face.

Qin Hehuan then took out several more standard firearms, all of which were accurately recognized by the other party. Finally, she even took out the beam pistol called "Mystery".

However, Nie Qingyun had already seen this thing when he rescued Cheng Yuqiu, so this time he didn't even hesitate to tell the reporter its prototype and working principle, while also unable to help but complain:

"Hey, I remember that even cold weapons are regulated in mainland China... How did you manage to bring these things into the school..."

Qin Hehuan had no intention of answering this, and subconsciously leaned forward, saying:

How many command centers did the alliance establish during the struggle for control of Rio de Janeiro?

"7."

"What strategy was used to occupy the surrounding cities?"

"Taking a gradual approach and consolidating the position, they first established a 270-kilometer defensive line at Kaposanlu..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Hehuan interrupted him again:

"How do you locate the enemy during a CQB (Close Quarters Battle) indoor assault if you lack detection equipment?"

"When using the peek tactic, you should work in groups of at least two to minimize the exposed area..."

How to crack a fully formed Kimura lock?

"If it's a lower position, you can use a 'bridge' to make the opponent lose their balance, and then forcefully attack the back of their head... but the cost might be a broken arm."

Qin Hehuan stared wide-eyed, seemingly no longer bothering to judge whether the other person's answer was correct, and asked faster and faster.

How many style properties are there in the CSS language?

"The CSS7 standard includes approximately 800..."

How many stars are in the Milky Way galaxy?

"A conservative estimate is over 1000 billion."

What color underwear did Saotome wear?

"..."

The increasingly outrageous questions made Nie Qingyun suddenly realize something was wrong, and he said somewhat impatiently:

"I say, what do these questions have to do with the people who attacked me?"

When she looked up, she met Qin Hehuan's expression of utter disbelief, and muttered to herself:

"What did you do before?"

Nie Qingyun felt inexplicably that the question seemed somewhat familiar, so he twitched the corner of his mouth and said:

"Uh... if I said I was a student... it shouldn't be too strange, right... probably."

Chapter 267: Jade Jade Sister x1000?

"If I said I was a student... it shouldn't be too strange, right... probably."

Everything is so weird!

Qin Hehuan assumed that the other party was unwilling to talk about it, glanced at Nie Qingyun with slight dissatisfaction, and did not ask any further questions.

On the other side, Saotome subconsciously pressed down on the hem of her skirt, her face slightly flushed, as if she was genuinely afraid that Nie Qingyun might accidentally reveal the correct answer.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuqiu's eyes suddenly showed a hint of suspicion. Now that she was officially Nie Qingyun's girlfriend, she was always particularly sensitive to topics about other girls. Without thinking, she said to Qin Hehuan:

Why are you asking her? Why don't you ask me?

Qin Hehuan didn't want to waste her breath on such trivial topics. She just glanced at Cheng Yuqiu out of the corner of her eye, saying nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.

The implication is probably: You might not even be sure if you put your own underwear on, so how could he not know what color it is?

"So, do you have any other valuable intelligence?" Nie Qingyun quickly steered the conversation back to business.

This time, Qin Hehuan didn't digress. After thinking for a moment, she gave a definite answer.

"Judging from their style of operation and equipment, I can conclude that the person who attacked you was a veteran who participated in the Rio de Janeiro war."

"And it is highly likely that they are spies left in Linjiangtai before the apocalypse, but it is still impossible to determine which faction they are currently active in."

"Secondly, the other side definitely has a large force and it is very likely that they have already launched an operation."

"In other words... we've been completely targeted by some powerful individuals." Nie Qingyun rubbed his forehead with a wry smile.

"It wasn't us," Qin Hehuan corrected, crossing her arms over her chest.

"It's you……"

As he spoke, he glanced subtly at Cheng Yuqiu standing behind him and continued:

"On the day the apocalypse came, I was supposed to be representing the Sabak leadership at the summit in Las Vegas, but I changed my itinerary at the last minute and returned to Linjiangtai, so nobody knows I'm here."

"So……"

Qin Hehuan stopped there and didn't say anything more.

Nie Qingyun knew that the other party was referring to Cheng Yuqiu, which was just as he had guessed.

This incident also proves that most of what Qin Hehuan said back then was true; the young lady was indeed related to that so-called "witch's wand."

The enemy arrived much faster than he had anticipated, and now it seemed that the area around the comprehensive teaching area, and even the entire Linjiangtai, was no longer safe.

Just then, Qin Hehuan spoke again, interrupting his thoughts.

"But it's not all bad news."

"The good news is that you discovered and killed those two spies."

"Given their cautious nature, they would never take any radical measures without feedback from their inside contacts."

"Moreover, this is the apocalypse, and everyone may possess extraordinary abilities, so they will only be more cautious."

"In addition, the outer ring of the school park is the most densely populated area, so it's not so easy for them to get in."

"otherwise……"

As she spoke, Qin Hehuan looked up at Cheng Yuqiu:

"Her father had already taken her away with the Self-Defense Forces."

"I don't care," Cheng Yuqiu turned her head to the side and then leaned closer to Nie Qingyun, as if she had long held some hope for that father-daughter relationship that had no affection for each other.

Qin Hehuan's words were indeed good news, but for Nie Qingyun, this was something he would have to face sooner or later, so he wanted to seize as much initiative as possible, and thus he couldn't help but speak:

"Is there no more specific information?"

Qin Hehuan shook her head:

"That's all we have for now, unless you can provide some more distinctive features."

These words reminded Nie Qingyun of a detail he hadn't thought of earlier.

"By the way, although I don't know if it will be useful, one of the guys' blood is blue..."

As he spoke, he gestured with his chin towards the robotic arm on the table:

"That's the master of this thing."

"Blue?" Qin Hehuan's pupils contracted, clearly indicating that she had thought of something:
