Origin of all things Arkham

Chapter 13

Lawton knew that in fact, there was only one choice before him.

boom!
After a little hesitation, Lawton chose to shoot.

The special firearm hanging on the arm is Lawton's own exclusive equipment. It fires quickly and reloads quickly. Moreover, it has the extension and stable support of Lawton's own arm. It has never been fired without exception.

This time is no exception.

Almost at the same moment when Lawton controlled his arm muscles and the bullet was fired, there was a ding noise mixed with the sound of the roaring gunshot.

The kitty was hit, and arguably not.

Because when Lawton raised his arm and fired the gun, a black box appeared around the kitten out of thin air. The bullet hit the box, making a ding sound, and the box flew out.

"Ok?"

What is this again... don't care!

ding ding ding ding...

Lawton raised his hands horizontally, and slowly raised his body from a half-squatting position to a bending position while moving forward in small steps. Fire snakes spewed out from the muzzle above his arms, forming a chain.

Clinking sounds also appeared intensively, and the seemingly fragile black box was continuously raised in the air. Every shot of Lawton hit the box, but he couldn't break it.

His face became more and more gloomy, and Lawton knew that he had made a mistake today, and he shouldn't have acted rashly without investigating the target clearly.

Don't trust that old bastard Falcone.

Lawton now feels that Falcone may have been plotting against him from the very beginning, and perhaps the employment was a scam from beginning to end, in order to let this mysterious tree man kill him.

Maybe, I am the target of this mission!
Thinking of this, Lawton immediately lost his will to kill the enemy.

Those observers who lost contact may be leading the tree man over here now.

Special code, so they are the same group!

The box was still in the air, and although the firepower poured on it was enough to fill the small box, it was not deformed or damaged at all.

This strengthened Lawton's determination to leave quickly.

Adjusting the angle of the arm, a bullet sent the box that had been stable in the air far away. Lawton put on his hood decisively, turned around and jumped off the roof.

During the fall, Lawton saw a large heat source on the ground through the infrared spectrum detector carried on the mask.

"Wang Defa..."

What it is? !What kind of flame monster?
Is that also the tree man's pet? !

Using bullets to communicate is what Lawton is best at. Taking out his spare gun from his waist and aiming at the guy below is a good output.

With the reverse thrust of the gun and the rappelling cable prepared earlier, Lawton did not suffer any damage when he landed.

But that big monster didn't seem to be ready to let him leave so safely.

boom!
In the eyes of Lawton at this time, the monster emitting a lot of heat seemed to have suddenly grown limbs. It not only took a step forward, but also threw its hands at him.

"Wang De...FVCK!"

Rolling away in embarrassment, Lawton tore off the device with the steel cable hanging from his body, and dodged the blow with a buttocks backwards flattening the sand and dropping a wild goose.

Fortunately, his legs were wide enough to step down without hindrance.

Pulling off the hood that he had just put on, Lawton got up and backed up while shooting. At the same time, he finally saw clearly what the monster that looked like a man on fire was.

It was a humanoid monster with a height of more than [-] meters, and its whole body was piled up of irregular black stones. It was indeed on fire all over its body, and it was still exuding thick smoke and a pungent sulfur smell.

What kind of demon in hell is this!

Laughton felt even more regretful.

This thing doesn't look like something that is afraid of bullets.

Isn't it a tree man? Why do you raise a fire-breathing monster in a wooden house!
Lawton didn't want to attack, but the monster obviously didn't want to let him go.

This, on the contrary, aroused Lawton's ferocity.

Not afraid of bullets, not flesh and blood creatures, right?

I beat you to pieces!

With Lawton's marksmanship, with a target within ten meters away, he can guarantee that every bullet in two hundred consecutive shots will hit the same hole the size of a coin.

Super strength brings super confidence.

Aim at the position of the monster's head, who knows if there is a brain in that guy's stone head, this is the first time Lawton has dealt with such an enemy, he can only do it according to his own experience.

So, while guarding against the possible sneak attack from the weird black cat, while fighting and retreating, while observing whether there is any movement of tree people coming around, Lawton multi-tasked, attacking the flaming stone man's head one by one. a location.

The flame and stone cancel out most of the kinetic energy from the bullet, that's certainly not ordinary flame and normal stone.But after all, it can still be hit by bullets.

So, when there were not many bullets left on Lawton's body, the monster finally let out a dizzy, nauseating silent roar after a gunshot, and turned into a pile of rubble and fell to the ground.

Lawton was glad he didn't wear a hood, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to spit out.

"Σ_("∠) vomit..."

What the hell!

Lawton's heartbeat, which had been slowed down by defeating the inhuman enemy, suddenly lifted, and he quickly turned around and shot into the woods behind him.

The bullets concentrated on the tree trunk, making a dull sound.

Maybe it was because I was too nervous just now, and I was distracted by too many things. In addition, the sound of gunfire during the fierce battle was too loud, and I didn't wear a hood. After the sound insulation, Lawton obviously didn't find anything in the woods behind him. Time actually hid someone!
Bang, bang, bang...

Lawton changed positions under his feet and continued to shoot calmly. Not long after, something suddenly flew out of the woods.

Lawton just looked up and knew it was a helmet, so he ignored it.

However, the contents of the helmet gave off a bad smell, which made Lawton a little concerned.

It seemed that he was not the only one affected by the roar just now.

After turning around in a semicircle, Lawton finally saw something in the woods, which was a person whose whole body was wrapped in branches.

After the two had a face-to-face meeting, the tree man rushed out of the woods, changed positions constantly, and ran towards him in a zigzag shape.

"Ah……"

boom.

With the last bullet, the tree man was knocked down on the ground while running. After falling to the ground, the dead body continued to move, and slid to the feet of Lawton, who lifted his foot and stepped on his head.

crushed.

"This is... a branch? Fuck!"

"You have good marksmanship, but your brain is not very good."

A sleepy voice came from behind the tree, and a pale man came out wiping his mouth while pointing a pistol at Laughton.

"Schrödinger! You are at the same table as Lao Ba today!"

"Meow--!!"

There was a mournful cat meow in the distance, and it didn't sound very happy.

Lawton raised his hand: "You are the tree man."

"You...forget it, you can do whatever you want. The tree man is better than the thorny man.

It seems to me that none of you..."

Laughton rushed out suddenly, and grabbed Lynn's hand before he could shoot. One finger pressed the hammer, and the other hand bent into a knife and hit Lynn's shoulder, and then turned around. He retreated and kicked obliquely, sending Lin En back to sit under the root of the tree.

"Feel sorry."

Lawton grabbed the snatched gun, pointed at Lynn and said, "I am also very strong in melee combat."

Lin En rubbed his chest: "Yes, yes... You are good at long-range and melee combat. This is very scientific, but let me tell you that my gun..."

boom!
There was a shot, and the bullet pierced the shoulder, leaving a bleeding hole.

Looking at Lawton's shoulder, Lynn was a little embarrassed: "Hey, didn't I say that my gun..."

boom!
The other arm also hung down weakly, and the pistol fell to the ground with a slap.

"Why...how is this possible?"

Switching hands, Lawton, who had been shot through the shoulder by the backward bullet, turned the gun on himself this time.

Then his other shoulder was also shot through.

"Listen to what someone has to say, brother."

Lynn got up, first glanced at Schrödinger who was running from a distance, then went to Lawton and picked up the weird gun, pointed it at Lawton's forehead, and asked with a smile: "Guess, my gun If we go down, which of the two of us will have his head exploded?"
