A few meters away, Wang Cheng clamped his legs against the trunk of a thick black pine tree, like a scorpion, with his upper body hanging in the air, holding his fur robe in one hand and holding a gun in the other.
It turns out he climbed a tree!
Zhu Wei also thought of it, but he was a step too late, and this step directly ruined his two brothers.
As soon as Wang Cheng succeeded in the attack, he immediately jumped down from the tree, then turned around and walked away. He did not forget to turn around and fired a few shots. The firepower suppressed Zhu Wei and the others and did not dare to raise their heads.
The sky is getting dark, the mountain wind is getting stronger, and the woods are gloomy. The light is reflected through the snow on the ground, giving it a bright yet smoky feeling.
A hundred or ten meters later, the footprints disappeared again, between several black pines.
Zhu Wei walked at the front holding a shield, followed by two people, and three people at the back. The six people formed a pyramid-shaped formation, which could be attacked or defended.
Wang Cheng hid behind a black pine. When he saw Zhu Wei and others appearing in sight, he immediately shot.
"Toot! Toot! Toot!"
Zhu Wei quickly changed his position, and the five people behind him also changed. The six people seemed to become one, moving left and right, and the bullets were unable to break through the blockade for a while.
The six people were like an extremely sharp awl, constantly advancing. Zhu Wei was the sharpest and strongest part of the awl, and he did not forget to attack when defending.
"shoot!"
Several men in black immediately loosened their bow strings. The iron-armed copper crossbow was so powerful that the crossbow arrow almost penetrated the tree trunk from a hundred meters away.
Wang Cheng looked at the cluster of arrows above his head and was startled. The power was more powerful than the gun in his hand. He quickly moved behind another tree.
Just as his front foot moved to another tree, Zhu Wei suddenly threw the iron gun in his hand with his rear foot, like a bolt of lightning hitting the black pine.
The black pine tree with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters was as fragile as paper and was penetrated instantly. The iron spear stabbed Wang Cheng in the back. Wang Cheng and his fur robe flew out from the other side of the tree.
"shoot!"
The five men in black were already prepared. The moment Wang Cheng flew into the snow, they pulled the trigger, and five crossbow arrows shot at his back at the same time.
He was lying on the snow, with his white fur robe covering his body, and five crossbow arrows stuck in his back, motionless.
When several people saw this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. The brothers who had sacrificed so many finally got rid of this person.
There wasn't much excitement on Zhu Wei's face. Could such a cunning person really die like that?
He nodded to a man in black next to him. The man immediately understood and stepped forward carefully holding an iron-armed copper crossbow.
Until he came up to him, Wang Cheng still didn't move. He kicked twice more, but Wang Cheng was still lying on the ground motionless, and he felt relieved.
"Sir, I'm out of breath!"
Just as he turned his head to report, Wang Cheng, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand and shot him twice, and then fired continuously at several people not far away.
Zhu Wei and others were suppressed by the firepower and did not dare to show their heads for the time being. They squatted on the ground and held their shields in front of them.
Why aren't you dead yet?
His shot can definitely stab someone through. Zhu Wei has no doubt about his own strength.
"Toot! Toot! Toot!"
Wang Cheng retreated while fighting, while Zhu Wei quickly gathered several people together to form a formation despite the bullets.
Although the bullets were powerful, they were still unable to penetrate the specially made shield made of alchemical steel. Zhu Wei already knew this and was no longer as flustered as at the beginning, and gradually began to fight back.
He advanced in an orderly manner, always controlling the distance between him and Wang Cheng, and warned: "He probably has a very powerful armor on him, shoot his limbs and head with a copper crossbow!"
After following Wang Cheng for another hundred or ten meters, he saw a white swaying vaguely behind a black pine.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Zhu Wei threw out the iron gun in his hand. The iron gun penetrated the tree trunk without any hindrance, flew dozens of meters and then nailed another black pine.
He personally went forward to investigate. After suffering the loss just now, he was very careful. He saw a white fur robe hanging alone on the trunk of the tree. There was no trace of Wang Cheng.
Where have people gone?
Suddenly, a man in black pointed at his feet and said in surprise: "Sir, why are there... four rows of footprints?"
Yes, there were four rows of footprints on the ground. They were exactly the same size and shape. They were all newly left, extending in two directions like a fork in the road.
How could one person leave four rows of footprints at the same time?
Zhu Wei suddenly thought of another possibility: "Is there someone secretly helping him?"
What he was most afraid of now was that someone was secretly helping Wang Cheng, but he quickly made up his mind. He knew very well that Wang Cheng was at the end of his strength. If he missed this time, they might never be able to catch him again.
The man in black then asked: "Sir, should we pursue each other separately?"
Just as Zhu Wei was about to agree, he immediately changed his mind: "No!"
He thought that whether the opponent was one person or two people, the splitting of the route into two was obviously intentional, in order to separate them and defeat them one by one.
Zhu Wei did not carefully identify which route was left by Wang Cheng and chose one at random.
Behind a large black pine, Wang Cheng leaned against the trunk of the tree. He had been severely injured and had fled for a hundred or ten meters. He was exhausted and would fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
can not sleep!
Yes, he can't sleep. Once he closes his eyes, he really has only one way to die. Even if he is not killed by Zhu Wei and others, he will freeze to death here.
He reached out and picked a handful of black pine leaves from the branches and stuffed them into his mouth. He kept chewing the black pine leaves with his teeth, and a bitter and greasy juice slipped into his throat.
He didn't swallow it, but kept it in his throat, stimulating his taste. The bitter taste stimulated his nerves and made him wake up.
He finally regained some energy, then unbuttoned his upper body clothes, revealing the shiny chain mail underneath, and he unbuttoned the chain mail again.
I saw two steel plates falling heavily to the ground, one from the chest and one from the back. Each piece was five millimeters thick and nearly thirty centimeters long and wide.
Two such large steel plates weigh less than thirty kilograms!
It was these two steel plates that saved his life!
Once the weight on his body was gone, Wang Cheng's pressure suddenly decreased and he rested against the tree with half-squinted eyes.
On another road, Zhu Wei led four men in black and walked a few hundred meters before suddenly stopping.
The four men in black looked at Zhu Wei and looked at each other. One of them asked tentatively: "Sir, are we going the wrong way?"
Zhu Wei nodded and said: "Have you ever thought that there is no second person at all, there is only him from beginning to end!"
The man in black said: "Then why are there two people's footprints along the way?"
Zhu Wei looked at him and said, "What if the other footprints were left by him in advance?"
The four of them were shocked at the same time. If this was really the case, wouldn't they have been in the trap designed by the other party all along?
How dare?
How dare he?
The four of them couldn't believe that one day they would be trapped and killed by someone they regarded as an ant.
"grown ups……"
The four of them hesitated to speak. There were eleven of them when they came, but now there are only five of them left. Do they still want to pursue them?
"Chase!"
Zhu Wei was resolute. Since he had seen through the opponent's trick, of course he had to pursue him, otherwise the six men who were killed before would not have died in vain.
And he believed his own inference. Even though they fell into Wang Cheng's scheme, there was no doubt that Wang Cheng was at the end of his strength.
Zhu Wei and the five others returned the same way.
Unconsciously, it turned dark, and a song suddenly sounded in the dark night.
"We are all sharpshooters"
"Every bullet kills an enemy"
"We are all flying troops"
"Even if the mountains are high and the water is deep"
The sound is high and low, far and near, making it difficult to figure out the direction.
Zhu Wei and the others were confused as they listened. They didn't know what was being sung in this sentence that sounded like poetry but not poetry. They pricked up their ears and were trying to figure it out. The head of a man in black who was following him suddenly suddenly It exploded and fell right in front of him.
"Be careful! Everyone hide!"
Zhu Wei was frightened and frightened. As he watched the night gradually fall, he finally thought about retreating.
"Escape! Quick! Run away separately!"
The few remaining men in black didn't know where to go because it was too dark.
There was no moon, no light, and the darkness was like a tide pouring into the black pine forest, swallowing up everything around it, and people's sight was suddenly blocked.
"In the dense woods"
“There are campsites for gays everywhere”
"On the high hills"
"We have countless good brothers"
The singing continued, and several people hid behind the trees. The cheerful rhythm made their hands and feet move together as if they were not obeying their orders.
"thump!"
The sound of falling to the ground suddenly sounded, and there was no need to look specifically. Zhu Wei knew that another brother had fallen.
"How can it be?"
Zhu Wei couldn't understand that they were all carefully selected and had adequate nutrition. None of them had night blindness. Even they couldn't see now. How could that person see?
He hid behind the black pine, not daring to make a sound for fear of exposing himself.
“No food, no clothes”
"Since the enemy has come forward"
"No guns, no cannons"
"The enemy created it for us"
When the singing ended, the remaining two men in black also fell on the way to retreat. At this point, out of the eleven men in black who came to surround and kill, only Zhu Wei was left.
Zhu Wei stopped hiding. It was useless to hide at this time. He was about to be tortured into a madman and kept attacking the surroundings.
The big tree as thick as a bowl of sea was broken by his punch, and the violent wind smashed the dead branches and leaves on the ground to pieces.
"You bastard! You little ground rat! Come out if you dare! Get out of here!!!" Zhu Wei roared hysterically, and the sound made the surrounding trees tremble.
"We grew up here"
"Every inch of land is our own"
"No matter who wants to grab it"
"We will fight him to the end."
As soon as the song ended, Zhu Wei's roar stopped abruptly. He felt pain in his chest. He stretched out his hand and felt a stream of hot liquid pouring into his palm.
He leaned his back against the tree trunk and slowly slid to the ground. He smiled weakly and said, "You brought us here on purpose, right?"
Although he was very sure, he still wanted to get the answer from Wang Cheng's mouth.
