I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 74: Prizes

When he saw the heavy-duty soldier get shot and burst like a balloon, Lin Yao’s heart shivered endlessly.

It was a horrifying death scene, and the bullet could not have been fended off. At that moment, he finally understood why the freaks were that terrifying.

‘This is not an amusement park. It’s hell.’

Lin Yao, who had witnessed this horrible scene for the first time, was terrified. If he had been alone, he would have died. However, he was not the only one there.

The death of their comrade didn’t frighten these experienced fighters. It maximized their furor instead.

“Damn you!”

Hollering furiously from the bottom of his heart, military-trained Squad Leader Zhang made the cyclone in his body explode again. As a result, his speed (which had slowed down slightly earlier while he’d been dodging) rose to the maximum again, and his entire body blasted forward like a cannonball.

“You scoundrel, don’t be so impulsive!” Captain Li shouted upon seeing Squad Leader Zhang charging ahead. He followed suit afterward.

On the other hand, the policewoman beside Lin Yao was shooting furiously.

Unfortunately, her shots did not have much of an effect. Besides the fact that he was ignoring the target’s defense and he had bullets that could transform humans into balloons, the freak was also as fast as a ghost. He truly deserved the name Ghost.

As he faced the oncoming bullet and Squad Leader Zhang, who was charging toward him, he smiled cunningly and retreated like a ghost. He was merely a tad slower than dashing Squad Leader Zhang. On the other hand, the policewoman’s bullets were fast, but the freak managed to dodge most of them. Only one of the bullets hit and burst a balloon.

As he retreated, the freak had a cunning smile on his face and he raised the toy airgun in his hand again.

When everyone saw him raising the toy airgun this time, they felt endless chills go through their hearts. Lin Yao finally understood why everyone’s faces were filled with hatred and they’d all looked that conflicted, furious, and fearful upon seeing this freak. Obviously, they were terrified of the airgun, which disregarded all forms of defense. Anyone who was shot by it would turn into a balloon. This scene was too horrible.

The fighters were humans, not cold-blooded machines, and it was normal for them to be frightened. However, in comparison to ordinary people, these fighters knew that avoidance would not solve the problem. Therefore, they did not retreat. Instead, they endured the fear and continued to charge forward. The two warlords in the front did the same.

What was gratifying was that the gun held by the freak was not real. It was a toy gun that shot balloons. Although the gun’s prowess was impossible to fend off due to the rules in the mysterious land, the bullets in the gun were made of plastic and its speed had not increased. As a result, the two leaders charging ahead at the reaction speed of a warlord had a slim chance of victory.

As the freak raised the toy airgun, Captain Li and Squad Leader Zhang were watching him like a hawk, all geared up to dodge the bullets. They planned to work as a team, with one person charging forward while the other dodged the attack.

On the other hand, the warlord-level policewoman was furiously shooting bullets with the spirit gun, attempting to disrupt the movement of the freak.

At this critical moment, the lacerated mouth of the freak suddenly formed a ferocious grin. It pointed the gun muzzle at Squad Leader Zhang, who was charging ahead.

This made Squad Leader Zhang’s heart turn cold. Although endless fear permeated his body and mind, he did not dodge immediately. Instead, he stared straight at the finger of the freak and hollered loudly, “Li Shan, keep going! Leave me alone!”

After speaking, he charged toward the freak with a ferocious expression and yelled loudly, “Go ahead and shoot me if you dare!”

Military-trained Squad Leader Zhang did not slow down in the slightest even after the freak pointed the gun at him. He was willing to sacrifice his life so that Li Shan could continue to charge forward.

Upon seeing his fearless face, the freak felt unhappy and stopped grinning. Bang. He had fired a bullet.

The moment the sound was heard, Squad Leader Zhang narrowed his eyes to the maximum and lunged sideways. Li Shan did the same thing. As a veteran fighter, he knew very well that Squad Leader Zhang might be able to duck and avoid the relatively slow-moving bullet, which the latter had been watching like a hawk. On the other hand, it was very likely that the cunning balloon freak would target his unsuspecting self.

However, Li Shan, who had lunged sideways, soon discovered that both he and Squad Leader Zhang were fine.

‘We dodged the attack successfully. This is the first time someone has escaped a bullet shot by this monster. We’ve ruined its one-shot-one-kill reputation.’

Just as this thought entered his mind, he heard a loud holler behind him.

“Police Officer, be careful! You are his target!”

The sudden sound made Captain Li’s heart turn cold.

‘Both Squad Leader Zhang and I are decoys. This monster’s target is Wen Chang, who’s in the back!’

With this thought in mind, he turned his head violently. With a glance, his bracing heart instantly sank. Wen Chang was indeed the target of the attack. She was behind Squad Leader Zhang. After Squad Leader Zhang dodged the bullet, the bullet shot toward the policewoman, who had been shooting a gun.

One could not possibly pin the blame on Squad Leader Zhang. He could not possibly pay attention to what was happening behind him and guard himself against the bullets coming from the front simultaneously, right? Sorry, he was a warlord, not a golden warlord.

Nevertheless, the policewoman, Wen Chang, was fine. Li Shan had clearly seen the young lad with the Malice Detection ability and the policewoman slumping on either side of the ground. It seemed that the young lad had exhausted a lot of strength to push away the policewoman.

‘He probably can’t see the bullets clearly in the dark. Did he detect the malice then? Is this guy stronger than I thought?’

Many thoughts flashed through Li Shan’s mind, but only a moment had passed. Very soon, he came back to his senses and rushed toward the freak again.

As for Squad Leader Zhang, he didn’t care about what had happened behind him at all. After dodging the bullet, he continued to charge forward and hollered loudly, “He only has one free bullet left!”

He was only 10 steps away from the freak as he spoke. From this distance, it would be difficult for him to dodge the freak’s bullet if the latter were to shoot. Despite this, he charged forward like mad. This was a fearless soldier who was prepared to use his life to give Li Shan the time to approach the freak.

This was what he had in mind. However, the freak did not plan to shoot.

According to what policewoman Wen Chang had said, the freaks in amusement parks were suppressed by some restrictions of the world and heaven, and the greatest limitation was that all the services there required money.

In Lin Yao’s opinion, this Ghost Bullet freak had advanced because he had killed too many people and unlocked some of the world’s restrictions. He had become eligible to have a free trial, but only for a maximum of three tries.

The first two shots had already been fired. If the freak were to fire the third shot, unless someone paid money or hurt him, he would no longer be able to shoot today and he would lose his threatening vibe and prowess.

After all, Lin Yao and the others were not carrying any money. Although harming the freak would trigger a counterattack, Squad Leader Zhang and the others were not stupid. After three shots, they would not launch a close-range attack against him again. The freak would not have any chance to fire the gun if they were to close in on him.

That freak wanted to leave with the last bullet but, of course, Squad Leader Zhang would not allow this to happen.

During the short time while the freak had aimed and shot twice, Squad Leader Zhang had already dashed several hundred meters ahead and approached it.

However, at that moment, under the shining light of the high-power ultraviolet lamp, the freak suddenly stretched his palms into his arms.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yao had a bad premonition. At the same time, he also recalled the deepest impression the balloon vendor had left on him—the balloon and the toy gun. In addition to these two, there were also the various prizes given after bursting the balloons.

‘He’s fishing out the merchandise, but he’s only managed to hit one ‘balloon’ so far. I hope we’re not getting any big prizes. Are we?’
