Chapter 674

Joyce leaned her back against the weathered stone, took a deep

breath and tried to keep herself calm and quiet. The coldness of the

cold stone invaded her skin gradually, and she even felt cold in the

heart.

She closed her eyes and listened carefully to the sound of footsteps

behind her.

She judged their location and distance with the sounds.

Two people were approaching her quietly. The palms of her feet hit the

gravel ground, emitting a distinctive "rustling" sound, which could be

clearly distinguished when she listened carefully. Although she shot

static targets most of the time, she had also done mobile skeet for three

years. Besides, she had participated in many outdoor activities during

the training period, and she was thus quite good at judging distances

with sounds and shooting mobile targets. She didn't expect that she did

not participate in the mobile skeet competition back then, but now she

has made use of it.

They were getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, she found an opportunity. She stood up and spun, holding

her gun in one hand, and when a killer was about to approach her, she

fired a shot, fast and accurate, hitting the killer's right chest.

Then, with another bang, she fired her last bullet, hitting another killer a

little further away from her.

Both the bullets hit the right chests and their lives would be in danger if

they were not treated in time.

This time, she wasn't as merciful as she was at Hill Benjamin, when

she shot the thugs in the knee to make sure they would not die. Today,

in order to get rid of them for good, she had to take down one of them

with each shot.

Two more Killers were down now, and there were still nine to go,

including Ricky.

"Everyone stays put for now. She's a good shot, and we'll lose a lot if

we risk going up there." Ricky shouted, "Don't move, stay put and take

cover. There's more than one way up. Let's go around the side and

avoid any open space.”

Now that three of them were down, the remaining eight killers were

quite hesitant.

They didn't expect that a mere woman would be a rare marksman. The

shots were deadly and precise.

This was definitely not some good business to them. They just wanted

to earn some money, and why should they risk their life? They

exchanged glances, all with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Ricky saw that they were timid. Immediately, he shouted in a stern

voice, "Let's move forward! Ten times the bonus for the one who kills

her."

In an instant, the killers all felt tempted and left the brief fear behind.

They just could not believe that with so many of them here, they still

could not deal with a woman!

Joyce took advantage of their internal disputes. She rushed forward

and grabbed the gun that the nearest killer had dropped on the ground,

then she rolled forward in a circle.

Ricky was the first to notice her movement and fired two shots at her.

She lightly dodged Ricky's pistol shots, and then she ducked behind

another boulder.

The trouble was that her calf was injured, and although she could still

walk, it was best to bandage it.

She didn't want to spend more time with them here, and she didn't have

enough bullets to repel them all. So, she dodged directly into the forest

of boulders behind her.

Just now she was on the outskirts of the stone forest, but when she

really got into the stone forest, Joyce felt regret. Inside the stone forest,

it was not as she thought. She could not even find a place to hide here.

She could not find even a blade of grass, not to mention bushes. There

were only rough, sharp-edged gravels on the ground. She might even

stumble if she did not pay attention.

She really wasn't familiar with the terrain and had never heard of such

a peculiar place in Khebury.
