Chapter 286 Three Days and Two Nights

The imperial capital, the inner city.

On the eaves of a certain roof, two figures are crouching here.

"It didn't show up."

Ma Yin was lying on her stomach like this, and Tegu Pumpkin was placed beside her, and her eyes were fixed on a seemingly inconspicuous building in the distance.

In the inner city where nobles or officials live everywhere, ordinary villas with two or three floors are nothing at all, it can be said that they can be seen everywhere.

but.

This building is different.

This building is one of Dr. Fashion's research bases, which the Revolutionary Army finally found out after rigorous investigation by informants and many secret intelligence channels.

Several seemingly inconspicuous and irrelevant buildings are completely connected underground, forming a huge secret base.

Lu Ning and Ma Yin had already come here on the first day they were going to assassinate Dr. Fashion. Because the imperial capital was too easily exposed, they had already stayed on this roof for a whole day and night.

Food and drink are not a problem, Lu Ning carries food and water with him.

The trouble is a matter of 'convenience'.

When grouping, Lu Ning and Lubbock were originally planned to be grouped together, but neither of them is the type who is good at long-distance investigation, so Lu Ning and Ma Yin can only be grouped together.

As for the other side, it was Leonai and Chitong's group.

With Lu Ning on one side, even if they are exposed, they can escape with Ma Yin, and the other side is similar. Leonai and Chitong are both extremely fast assassins, as long as they don't fall into the siege, they can easily escape .

As for Hill, Najieta and others, they are waiting for news somewhere.

"Aren't you going to rest for a while?"

Ma Yin turned her head to look at Lu Ning.

During this day and night, she rested for about seven or eight hours, but Lu Ning only rested for about two or three hours here.

"fine."

Lu Ning shook his head slightly.

With his digitized body and his current mental strength and willpower, as long as he doesn't fight, he won't suffer even for three or four days... there won't be any problem.

What's more, now that the most critical moment has come, no matter how unrestrained he is usually, he has already put all his energy into a serious state at this time.

This task, this battle, can only be won!
"Well……"

Seeing that Lu Ning did not look tired, and that it was only a day and night, and he had rested for two or three hours, it was indeed a trivial matter for assassins like them, so she nodded slightly.

But after a while, her little face gradually turned red.

"Ah, that..."

"Well, let me watch for you."

Lu Ning turned his head to look at her, then moved up a little bit, and his angle of view became able to see the pedestrians on the street ahead and below.

"If you dare to turn back, you will die!"

Looking at Lu Ning's appearance, Ma Yin couldn't help but clenched her small fists, and threatened viciously with flushed cheeks.

Lu Ning really doesn't have any "gentleman" thoughts at the moment. He scanned the building in the distance intently, not letting any passerby pass by.

There was a rustling sound from behind, and Ma Yin climbed up again after a while, her cheeks were still slightly red.

"Do you want something to eat?"

While staring at the buildings in the distance, Lu Ning directed towards Main Road.

Ma Yin shook her head and muttered: "I'm not that Chitong guy, and your voice is a bit louder, and your position is a bit higher, come down a bit."

Ma Yin gave Lu Ning an admonishing expression.

Lu Ning shrugged and obediently obeyed Ma Yin's orders.

When a sniper ambushes a target, it is possible for a sniper to crouch in one place for more than a week. Ma Yin has also done the task of ambushing a high-level empire alone. She stayed in a bush for nearly four days by herself, and finally waited for the target to appear. , one hit kills.

In terms of reconnaissance and sniper assassination, Ma Yin can indeed be far behind Lu Ning.

The two continued to monitor the secret base, but until the evening, Dr. Fashion did not appear.

If the presence of the target cannot be confirmed, the assassination cannot be carried out.

As time passed, it was Lu Ning who gradually became anxious, because two days and one night had passed before the time requirement of the mission.

The time limit for the task is three days and three nights, which is the same as the final time of the main task, almost synchronous, which now means that only one day and two nights are left.

"Don't worry, anxiety will make you make mistakes."

Ma Yin noticed Lu Ning's state of mind, and said calmly: "Be patient."

Lu Ning turned his head and glanced at Ma Yin, the anxiety in his heart subsided a little, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so patient at this time, you are not at all like you in normal times."

"Humph!"

Ma Yin snorted, turned her head away, and said, "I'm a genius sniper, you are far behind me in scouting and sniping!"

Ma Yin's cute appearance made Lu Ning's anxiety gradually disappear, and he regained his calm. Anyway, there is still half of the time left, so there is no need to worry.

of course.

While suppressing his anxiety, Lu Ning was also thinking about the way forward, that is, what to do if there is still no trace of Dr. Fashion until the last night.

One hour……

two hours...

Three hours……

Night fell quickly, and the streets below were patrolled by members of the imperial guard from time to time, but the place where Lu Ning and Ma Yin were located was the best place selected after many times of selection. The angle was very subtle, both It will not be discovered by the people below, nor will it be discovered by the people on the taller buildings in the distance.

Just like that, Lu Ning and Ma Yin stayed on the roof until dawn.

During the period, there was a light rain in the sky, but Lu Ning also had a special cloak to keep out the rain, and he and Ma Yin put it on one by one, and put it away again when the rain stopped.

As the sun rose, Lu Ning couldn't help but let out a sigh.

It's the last day!

Whether it is this side mission or the main mission of this reincarnation war, it is the last day, and the decision will be made on this day.

If he fails this side mission, even if he wins the main mission, he won't get much rewards, and he will even lose some money.

early morning.

Ma Yin ate a little dessert cake and drank a little water.

To be able to have fresh dessert cakes for breakfast during this long period of scouting was like dry grass meeting nectar for her.

While eating the cake in her hand, Ma Yin glanced at Lu Ning, and what she saw was Lu Ning's calm and serious eyes that had never been seen before.

This posture and this gaze have not changed for a long time.

【The eyes are very good】

Ma Yin murmured in her heart, thinking that Lu Ning hadn't eaten anything, looked at the little cake left in her hand, hesitated a little, and said to Lu Ning:
"Hey."

Seeing Lu Ning turn his head, Ma Yin continued: "Open your mouth."

Before Lu Ning could react, she stuffed the small piece of cake in her hand into Lu Ning's mouth, and said, "I can't stop eating... I can't eat any more, here you are!"

After saying this, she snorted softly and turned her little head to the right.

A light pink appeared on the cheeks.

"..."

While eating the bite of cake that Ma Yin fed, Lu Ning experienced the state of "dog food shock" that would release many people, but Lu Ning's mentality was extremely complicated.

He had thought before that if he couldn't wait for Dr. Fashion to appear, he could only intentionally create a huge commotion and try to draw Dr. Fashion out.

He has double Teigu's hole cards here, even if he faces Budd and the siege of a large number of Teigu envoys, if he wants to leave, it will be too difficult to keep him.

but.

Doing that would put Ma Yin Chitong and the others in an extremely dangerous situation.

If it really came to that last moment, how should he choose?

Lu Ning had no answer in mind.

One hour……

two hours...

Three hours……

As time went by, this question took up more and more area in Lu Ning's mind, and it gradually became a question that he had to think about.

but.

I don't know if it was planned from the very beginning of this side mission, or it was really luck, but in the evening, Lubbock appeared.

Lubbock brought news to Lu Ning and Ma Yin, that is, Dr. Fashion has appeared on the other side, the bright research institute monitored by Leonai and Chi Tong!

After receiving this news, Lu Ning glanced at Ma Yin next to him, and after a slight pause, he showed a very shallow smile.

That's it.

It is really the best thing to not think about such problems.
