Chapter 66: Sister Su Miao Is Very Excited

Xia Xiaoan stood to the side, her body trembling slightly as she watched Sister Su Miao.

She had just counted: Sister Su Miao had fired twenty-one shots, killing twenty-one people, and judging by the voices she heard in her head, Sister Su Miao was growing more exhilarated with every kill.

This was absolutely not social anxiety.

Su Miao was unaware of Xia Xiaoan's thoughts, focused solely on eliminating the company's villains.

During her sniping, she discovered something rather interesting.

A few of the company goons clearly appeared to be poisoned, yet when a few of their truly poisoned companions were shot in the head beside them, they immediately snapped back to their senses and fled at lightning speed toward areas with better cover.

Did a bullet really cure their illness?

Luckily, she had never planned on sparing any of the suspected poisoned ones.

After all, in this post-apocalyptic world, Earth had been affected by cosmic radiation, and some people would awaken special abilities—just like Xia Xiaoan, who had awakened hers on the verge of death.

These company thugs who had consumed the deadly hallucinogenic agent were all teetering on the edge between life and death. To be safe, killing them outright was the best choice.

If anyone awakened an ability to resist deadly poison, she would have to find another chance to finish them off. That would be too troublesome.

Besides, in the past, these people had always been not far below the building; she might have been afraid to shoot at such close range. But ever since she got the sniper rifle, with such distance between her and her targets, Su Miao felt as if her social anxiety had been completely cured.

She had to make the most of the moment—she wasn't afraid at all right now.

...

"Captain! It's started! Shooting has broken out!"

Little Li from the security team came running back at top speed to report, "Something major has happened on the company’s side—a lot of them seem to have been poisoned by mushrooms. Miss Su Miao is picking them off one by one with a sniper rifle."

Chang Jieming's eyes lit up. "Gather all the brothers. We're going to take our revenge!"

Revenge was one part of it; another was collecting guns.

Their future survival in the resort depended on it.

"Old Song, from now on, you’re in charge of everyone!"

After gathering the whole team, Chang Jieming looked at Song Yourang, who had kitted out the security team in under a minute.

The day he delivered the sniper rifle to Su Miao's villa, Old Song had followed Su Miao's directions to find Chang Jieming on the mountain and smoothly joined the security team.

At first, Old Song had worried he wouldn’t be trusted.

But as they worked together, he found Chang Jieming placed complete confidence in him. It was deeply moving.

As for Chang Jieming, his reasoning was simple.

First, Old Song was a retired soldier, and their security team was full of veterans—he would fit right in.

Second, Old Song had been recommended by Su Miao.

That was the most important thing.

After all, if Su Miao had wanted them dead, it would have been effortless for her—just look at what happened to the company.

"Alright!"

Old Song took command and immediately led the brothers of the security team on a forced march toward the parking lot.

To avoid mishaps, they all wore clear markers on themselves, lest Su Miao mistake them for enemies during her sniping and pick them off too—that would be quite the joke.

"We're only twelve men. When we attack, we'll use the three-three tactic—three to a group: assault, cover, and support. Once you get a gun, hand it to the shooters first."

As they neared the parking lot, Old Song gave his orders.

"Understood!"

Chang Jieming and the others nodded.

Old Song gestured, "Team One and Team Two, head over there. Team Three, this way. Team Four, go over there and lie in wait—some company operatives might try to escape that way."

"Move out!"

The security team quickly dispersed.

...

In a corner, Xu Heng and Bai Rui, two team leaders, huddled together.

No matter how this mass poisoning had happened, in the current crisis, there was no time to investigate.

"That demon Su Miao—how many has she killed already?" Bai Rui’s heart quivered.

Recently, the boss had ordered everyone to stay out of sight during the day. Many resented it, thinking Su Miao couldn’t possibly hit the parking lot from her position.

And now? Su Miao had gotten her hands on a sniper rifle, and the parking lot was firmly within her range.

Xu Heng said, "No idea. From the intel we gathered before, she was supposedly a girl who just graduated college, extremely socially anxious."

"The intel guys must've eaten too much rat meat—what socially anxious? She's a social terrorist, pure and simple."

"I think the rumors about her wiping out the villa district before we arrived are probably true."

He had no choice but to believe it now.

Their entire company was being all but wiped out by Su Miao.

Bai Rui said, "Xu, this is your fault. I remember our company’s combat group had a single sniper rifle—why is it in Su Miao's hands now?"

Xu Heng nearly exploded with anger.

The head of logistics/security, who'd caused the entire combat team to be poisoned, hadn't said a word about it.

He replied coldly, "Bai Rui, you'd better think about how to explain so many people being poisoned to the boss."

At the mention of the boss, Bai Rui’s face went deathly pale. "Xu, you have to save me!"

Xu Heng said, "Heh."

Bai Rui hurriedly added, "Xu, Brother Xu, I'm begging you, please!"

Xu Heng’s lips twitched—he'd seen shameless people before, but never to this extent.

Suddenly, he saw figures sneaking towards them in the distance. A burst of gunfire followed, and several poisoned company operatives nearby were shot dead.

"Move!"

Xu Heng’s expression changed.

Someone else was closing in.

He had sharp eyes and immediately recognized the attackers as members of the security team.

At this point, they couldn’t mount any effective resistance.

The poisoned combat team members were all terrified of Su Miao.

If they heard a noise, they might just open fire at random, unable to tell friend from foe—that's how Fu Yongpeng had died.

Xu Heng dragged Bai Rui away at top speed, glancing nervously in the direction of their boss, Chi Wanning, as they fled. Was the boss not going to make a move?

Or had the boss been poisoned as well?

But surely even this poison couldn’t get the better of Chi Wanning.

Just as he thought this, gunfire erupted again near the villa district.

They were surrounded.

Xu Heng’s expression grew bitter.

Today, they might not make it out alive.

...

Inside Villa 36, Su Miao was landing headshots with every pull of the trigger.

But soon, just as she was feeling a rare surge of confidence, she realized she had a serious problem: she was running out of sniper rounds.

Fifty-five bullets in total, each one a perfect headshot.

She had been extremely frugal.

Now, clutching her sniper rifle, Su Miao trembled anxiously.

What to do? She only had five rounds left.

Hmm?

"The security team?"

Suddenly, Su Miao noticed the security team flanking the company from the side.

They quickly killed a few company operatives, snatched their guns, and ran.

Meanwhile, another group appeared on the eastern side of the parking lot—it looked like Fei Chengqiang’s gang.

They had fired several potshots, seizing the chance to kill a few company operatives, grabbing their guns and pressing the attack.

Su Miao wanted to kill Fei Chengqiang, but seeing how hard he was fighting against the company’s thugs, she decided to let him live a bit longer.

She would kill the company’s boss first, then snipe him.

Su Miao decided to watch as they besieged the company, cleaning up the poisoned operatives, and wait for the boss to appear—then take the shot!

Of course, if the boss drank enough of the deadly hallucinogen and died outright, all the better.
