Chapter 5: Gunfire

Mia nodded, but then immediately shook her head.

At the scrap terminal, there is one thing that is most scarce, and that is food. Those refugees who do not care about production and only rely on scavenging for a living are basically hovering on the edge of starvation.

Su Xiao took out a few compressed biscuits from his arms, which were emergency food he carried with him.

He had observed that there was a forest far away from the 'Scrap Terminal'. He had a gun in his hand and would not worry about food.

Mia took a piece of compressed biscuit with some fear. She had never seen such food before.

Under Su Xiao's guidance, Mia peeled off the compressed biscuit and took a bite carefully.

“Delicious~.”

The girl, who had been hungry all day, started to eat hungrily.

"Call me Mia and take me out of here. These cookies are all yours."

Mia, who had finished all the compressed biscuits in her hand, stared at the few compressed biscuits in Su Xiao's hand and swallowed.

"Okay, but you can't hurt me."

Su Xiao did not answer the other party, but dug out of the dilapidated house, followed closely by Mia, who had recovered a little.

"Where are you going? You are not a resident of the 'Scrap Terminal', are you?"

Su Xiao's footsteps suddenly stopped, a cold light appeared in her eyes, she threw a compressed biscuit in her hand on the ground, and then crushed it with her foot.

"Take me out of here and don't ask anything else."

If the girl Mia showed any abnormality, Su Xiao's gun-tight hand would be aimed at Mia's forehead.

Mia was startled by Su Xiao's actions and took a few steps back.

"Okay~, okay."

Mia didn't dare to say anything anymore and walked quickly ahead.

"Take me to the entrance of the 'Kingdom of Goa'."

Su Xiao looked around vigilantly, and from time to time he could see refugees with fierce eyes. After those refugees noticed the gun in Su Xiao's hand, they immediately put away their greedy eyes.

Recalling the information obtained from the anime, Su Xiao began to think about the next countermeasures.

The so-called "waste terminal" is actually a large garbage dump. The "Kingdom of Goa" dumped a large amount of domestic garbage outside the city, resulting in the current scene.

Those refugees with fierce looks were originally just residents of the "Kingdom of Goa". These people either committed serious crimes or offended the nobles, so they were driven here.

After the garbage decays, a toxin-laden smoke is produced, which spreads in the "waste terminal" and erodes the lives of the refugees at all times.

The most obvious manifestation is that Su Xiao's health has dropped from 100% to 98%.

There are no doctors and no food in the 'waste center'. Crime and disease are spreading here. It is a lawless zone, and everything depends on the strength of the force.

Following Mia's guidance, Su Xiao quickly walked out of the 'Scrap Terminal' and came to a high wall.

A high wall made of black stones stood tall, and a small city gate appeared in Su Xiao's sight.

"We can only go here. The 'Kingdom of Goa' has laws. Refugees cannot enter the city. Once discovered, they will be executed."

Although Mia was talking to Su Xiao, her eyes kept staring at the compressed biscuits in Su Xiao's hand.

Throwing the compressed biscuit to Mia, Su Xiao ignored the other party, and Mia ran away directly. She led Su Xiao only because of the temptation of food, and for no other reason.

The gate of the 'Kingdom of Goa' is wide open, with several guards standing on both sides of the gate.

This is just a side door, used to facilitate dumping of garbage.

Although those guards seemed lazy, there was a cold light flashing in their eyes from time to time. These guards should often kill people who try to break into the city.

Su Xiao hid aside and was not in a hurry to enter the city. He was waiting for the opportunity.

It is impossible to fight head-on with those guards. The residents of the pirate world are extremely strong. The girl Mia was able to return to normal in a short time after being hit hard by him, which made Su Xiao wary.

Su Xiao guessed that the attributes of those guards were at least ten points, and possibly even higher.

One hour, two hours, until three hours later, it was already noon, the temperature was rising rapidly, the weather was getting hot, and the opportunity Su Xiao had been waiting for finally appeared.

A carriage filled with domestic garbage drove out of the city, and the pungent rotten smell spread far away. The guards did not look at the carriage at all, but subconsciously took a few steps away.

"My lords, do you need a routine check-up?"

The driver stopped the carriage, somewhat afraid of the guards.

"Go away quickly, it stinks."

The guard waved his palms in disgust, showing no intention of checking.

When Su Xiao saw this in the distance, she raised her eyebrows and quickly followed the carriage.

After the carriage penetrated deep into the garbage mountain, it found an open space and started dumping garbage. The driver, who had been submissive before, suddenly had a dagger on his waist. The law of the jungle is the law of the 'waste terminal'.

Lighting a cigarette to cover up the smell, the coachman picked up a shovel and began to clean the stained carriage.

When the coachman was sweating profusely from work, Su Xiao silently came up behind the coachman like a wild cat. Just when Su Xiao was about to knock the coachman unconscious, he stepped on a half-broken glass under his feet.

"Click." A crisp sound came, and the coachman's body trembled.

Su Xiao was also surprised. In this dirty 'waste terminal', there was a deep layer of garbage under her feet. It was so soft when she stepped on it that she couldn't even notice what was under her feet.

But at this time, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so Su Xiao rushed forward directly.

The coachman was not a kind person either. He turned around, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and stabbed Su Xiao directly.

The ferocious expression on the driver's face made Su Xiao understand that the driver wanted his life.

Su Xiao's eyes began to turn cold. In this mission world, either you die or I die. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself.

Raising the flintlock gun in her hand, Su Xiao pointed the gun at the coachman's head.

If an ordinary person were pointed at by a gun, they would definitely stop or retreat immediately, but this driver was different. He actually pounced faster.

Su Xiao expressionlessly pulled the trigger. The hammer behind the gun body hit the flint, and sparks sputtered out. The gunpowder in the gun chamber was ignited. A large amount of gunpowder was ignited in a small space, and a powerful explosion erupted.

With the kinetic energy, as fire and smoke spread out, the projectiles in the gun chamber erupted.

"boom."

Thick smoke rose, and a pungent smell of gunpowder spread. A lead bullet penetrated directly into the coachman's head. The coachman's forward figure stopped abruptly, and he was knocked back two meters away. His body twitched twice and died.

.

[Hint: You killed the black marketeer]

[Your talent "Soul Eater" is activated, permanently increasing the mana value by 5 points, and the current mana value is 65 points. 】

[You get a treasure chest (white)

[This is your first time to kill an enemy, and the savings space is opened (2 square meters). After returning to Samsara Paradise, the size of the savings space can be upgraded using paradise coins. 】

The reminder from Samsara Paradise made Su Xiao know that this was not a coachman at all, but a black marketeer, who should be using his identity as a coachman to do some kind of transaction in the scrap terminal.

After the black marketeer died, a wooden box floated above the body. The box was white and only the size of a palm.

Su Xiao tried to pick up the wooden box floating in the air. Although it was only the size of a palm, it was heavy in the hand.

[Treasure chest (white), yes/no open]

Su Xiao did not open the [Treasure Box], but put the [Treasure Box] and the [Old Flintlock Gun] into the storage space.

With a thought, the [Old Flintlock Gun] appeared in his hand. Su Xiao was very satisfied with the new storage space. It was a very practical function. If this ability was used well, it would be of great help to him in completing his mission.

It is not safe here, so Su Xiao did not choose to open the [Treasure Box (White)]. If the treasure box is opened and he is given a golden light, then he will be in danger. The first thing now is to enter the capital city of the 'Kingdom of Goa'

.

Su Xiao took off her shirt and put on the black marketeer's clothes.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao fell directly into the water on the ground. The stench spread, and his clothes and cheeks were stained with large amounts of sewage, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

Sitting in front of the carriage, Su Xiao controlled the horse with some unfamiliarity and marched into the city.

At this moment, he was holding a dagger in his hand, which was exactly the dagger in the hands of the black marketeer, but this dagger was a little different from what he had imagined.
