Chapter 40 - Is Aria Interested in Han Gui?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Aria looked at Xinyue enviously. The latter was holding an S686. It was a godly gun that had shot a few zombies into sieves.

She remembered that the S686 had been given to Xinyue by Han Gui. Even a Licker wouldn’t be able to land an attack with such firepower, right?

A Licker was worth at least 50 points. The more she looked at Xinyue, the more her eyes filled with envy!

Xinyue’s marksmanship was not good so M416 and AKM guns were not suitable for her, and it would be a waste of bullets for her to use them. However, the S686 was different.

As long as she did not shoot into the sky, she could have a sure shot within 10 meters, especially zombies that did not move fast.

Rennes had caught Han Gui’s attention. During the zombie attack, Rennes had been bitten by a zombie. Now, she had a bite mark on her hand.

A zombie’s bite could turn one into a zombie. At least that was what happened in the plot he knew. He wasn’t sure if it would be the same here.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Bang! Bang!

The gunfire continued and the zombies started to slow in their advancement toward them. Behind Han Gui, the employees of the company were trying their best to key in the elevator password.

Maybe it was because he wasn’t mentally prepared, but the hands of the computer worker were shaking a little. He kept pressing the wrong password, and Jin Dong, who was in the same team as him, emptied his bullets and pushed him to the side.

“Tell me the password!”

At this point, Han Gui already knew what would happen. With so many people here, there was no need to take the elevator because the elevator couldn’t hold nearly twenty people.

The elevator door finally opened but Jin Dong was instantly swallowed by the zombies. Without any way to retreat, the computer guy took the lead and ran toward the main control room.

As they fought and retreated at the same time, the slow zombies were soon completely shaken off. The people finally entered the main control room. After killing the last zombie in front of them, Han Gui quickly changed his magazine, and the notification by his ear finally stopped.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have killed one zombie. You have gained 5 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. You have gained 50 points. You have killed 81 zombies.]

Speaking of which, the harvest this time was not as good as when he used the MP5. And he had consumed even more bullets. It was all because everyone was gathered together that aiming precisely became harder.

However, Han Gui didn’t feel that it was a pity. He had enough bullets. He had 11,000 of 5.56 bullets, but what about this group of players? Han Gui didn’t believe that they had enough.

Bullets were very valuable in Infinite Space. For example, the Desert Eagle bullet cost one point each. Although it was a specially-made bullet, it was enough to prove that bullets were expensive.

The doors to the main control room had been closed so zombies couldn’t get in. Han Gui and the others sat, resting. A group of players looked worried.

“Brother Yong, do you have more bullets?”

“Old Mao, do you have more bullets?”

“I have another magazine but I’m almost out of bullets. There are a lot of zombies here.”

“I don’t have many bullets either. If I run into such a horde again, I’ll be in trouble. I didn’t expect that it would be zombies this time. I’m not prepared enough.”

Not only were the players running out of bullets, but Rennes and the computer worker were also checking their ammo. Rennes even threw her empty gun on the ground.

A gun without bullets was better than a fire stick, except that it added weight.

Aria was also carefully checking her ammo. She had just fired four magazines and 28 bullets. Now, she only had 65 bullets left, but she didn’t kill much either.

She had only killed 73 zombies in total.

When Aria had almost resorted to splitting a bullet in half to save resources, Han Gui sighed and gave her an M416 from his backpack.

Aria was surprised. He had given her a gun already loaded with a 40-bullet magazine, plus an extra of two more magazines. She now had 120 bullets.

Wasn’t she just Han Gui’s slave? And there she was being envious of Xinyue before this.

“Take it. Don’t say that I mistreated you and didn’t let you grow. I know that you are a female assassin. You don’t need to open your heart. Just don’t drag me down.”

After nodding silently, Aria placed the Desert Eagle into the gun bag and took the M416 and two magazines that Han Gui had handed her.

“Thank you.”

Without saying anything, Han Gui leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. He didn’t need to do anything now. He just needed to follow the plot, which would involve the boss’s daughter, Leila at some point.

The other players’ eyes had almost turned green in envy.

Everyone was almost out of bullets but Han Gui not only gave Aria an M416, but he also gave her a total of 120 bullets! In Infinite Store, one would have to spend a total of 260 points just to obtain that amount of ammo.

“What the f*ck? That’s 120 bullets! And he gave it away just like that. If she kills 60 zombies, she will have gotten another 300 points. Isn’t that an equivalent to giving away 500 points?!”

“Is that how you pick up girls?”

“I’m f*cking jealous. Can I be a girl? I want someone to give me an M416 and bullets for free. I don’t have high standards. Just give me 120 bullets!”

“This kid is f*cking rich. How many bullets did he shoot out earlier? He must be the son of a rich man in the real world and a rich tycoon in Infinite Space!”

The group of players discussed animatedly. They looked at Han Gui with envy, jealousy, and hatred. They had almost wanted to steal from him but when they remembered how Han Gui had sent Wu Yong flying with a single kick, they retreated immediately.

Aria sat next to Han Gui, her hand on the M416 as she wore a conflicted expression.

She was originally a female assassin, so her heart was naturally cold. Thus, she should hate Han Gui. After all, she was even forced to become his slave.

However, over the past few days, Han Gui had been taking care of her. And now, he had just given her these weapons and bullets. She was now at a loss.

She did not know if she should continue to hate Han Gui, hoping that one day she could turn the tables and escape from his control or even kill him. She no longer had an idea of what was going on in her head.

She was one of the top three female assassins in the assassin world, even given the honor of being queen. How could she be soft-hearted and hesitant? Shouldn’t her heart be completely cold? What was going on?

She looked at Han Gui. The man had his eyes closed but his side profile still had an indescribable charm. It was as if the longer she looked at him, the more attracted she was to him.

Aria quickly shook her head and averted her gaze. She was a little afraid. Was she interested in this man? Was this a joke?

Aria doubted it. They had only known each other for a few days. How could such a small favor wipe away her hatred? Tempted? Impossible..
