Tang Jiumin recalled the three months when he was hunted down. The more he thought about it, the weirder it became. He really couldn't understand it, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
He turned to look at Liu Ziyun beside him, with a half-smile on his face.
"Officer Liu doesn't plan to continue the investigation? I'm the one who helps the bad guys investigate the case."
Liu Ziyun glanced at Tang Jiumin and naturally saw the other person's expression.
"You are not that group of people. You are just helping them check things. Even before, I had no right to arrest you."
"Oh haha." Tang Jiumin whistled immediately.
"I thought our Bodhisattva Liu was extremely pedantic. Could it be that after receiving the inheritance, he suddenly became enlightened and knew to think about himself?"
"I said, I'm not you." Liu Ziyun shook his head: "I will still try my best to send these people back, and I will definitely be able to do it."
"Tsk...still a Bodhisattva."
Tang Jiumin rolled his eyes, as if that was indeed the case.
"I've seen many police officers who are indeed stubborn and naive, but this is the first time I've encountered you being so stubborn."
"To put it bluntly, a character like yours is not suitable for the border at all. How did you survive dealing with cunning and cold-blooded drug dealers? A character like yours would probably kill someone."
silence.
When Tang Jiumin finished speaking, he found that Liu Ziyun didn't speak for a while.
Really?
A smile without warmth appeared in Tang Jiumin's eyes:
"No? Did I guess it right?"
Liu Ziyun sighed subconsciously, showing a melancholy expression.
"...You guessed it, because I killed my captain."
"I was on the arrest team. At that time, he was taken as a hostage by a drug dealer, and the gun was put on his head. I was right in front and saw half of the drug dealer's head exposed, but... I didn't dare to shoot."
"I'm afraid of accidentally hitting the captain."
Recalling the most painful incident in the past, Liu Ziyun is still sad to this day.
"I kept trying to target the enemy, thinking that not much time had passed, but in fact the drug dealer's patience had been exhausted."
"His body was wrapped with explosives and he had already grasped the detonator. There were several other civilians around him."
"That's too late."
Um? Tang Jiumin subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at Liu Ziyun's hand. When the other person recalled it, he couldn't help but clench his fist.
"It was too late. Right in front of me, the captain hugged the drug dealer and jumped off the cliff together. If I hadn't dared to shoot, I was afraid of hitting the wrong person, and the captain would not have died."
"Since then, I have been practicing my marksmanship so that I can save my teammates if I encounter this kind of situation again. I..."
"Wait, Officer Liu, I think you are mistaken." Upon hearing this, Tang Jiumin interrupted Liu Ziyun: "Maybe this has nothing to do with your marksmanship..."
"You don't understand at all." However, Liu Ziyun was suddenly excited, and his voice suddenly rose: "I had only been there for a year, and there was no way I could fire that shot. I didn't dare. I was afraid that I would kill the captain instead."
"If my marksmanship was good enough, I would have fired that shot and saved the captain. It was all because of me, I..."
Liu Ziyun's face turned red and he kept retorting to Tang Jiumin. He even stood up in excitement.
"Maybe......"
Listening to Liu Ziyun's explanation of the situation at that time, Tang Jiumin stopped arguing. He knew what the problem was with the policeman in front of him.
Because of this topic, the two of them suddenly lost the mood to continue chatting. They both sat in front of the firewood pile and stopped talking.
The firewood burned and crackled.
I don’t know how many minutes passed, or even longer.
"Ouch——!"
There were waves of wolf howls all around, making the two dull people instantly alert, and they raised their heads and looked around.
There were no traces of movement on either side of the alley. There are none on the high walls on the left and right, and with the height of the walls, the werewolf shouldn't be able to climb up.
"You're right, they don't seem to be in a hurry to attack." After patrolling for a while, Liu Zi came back, his words a little anxious.
"I hope I guessed wrong, now trouble is coming." In the corner of the alley, Tang Jiumin also looked helpless.
Liu Ziyun picked up a shotgun and aimed at an alley, while Tang Jiumin took out a shotgun and aimed at another alley.
Shotgun?
Liu Ziyun quickly took a look at the weapon in Tang Jiumin's hand and was a little surprised. He knew that the gun shop in this small town would not sell shotguns. Even the elephant hunting gun Tang Jiumin used yesterday was not sold by a gun shop.
It was traded with the hunting team yesterday, so how did you get this shotgun? Was it also traded with someone?
Liu Ziyun looked at Tang Jiumin's expression, which changed again and again.
"Stop looking and focus on yourself. This is a gift from a friend."
Liu Ziyun had no choice but to look back, but when he heard Tang Jiumin's explanation, he felt even more strange.
The two of them held their guns back to back, focusing on the direction they were aiming at, and being careful and vigilant.
Once a werewolf appears, the two will press the trigger immediately.
Time passed slowly, and Tang Jiumin's body became more and more sore.
He secretly estimated that the two of them had been vigilant for more than two hours. During this period, the wolf howled continuously, sometimes far and sometimes near, but it never came close to this alley.
Being highly concentrated for more than two hours and holding a shotgun all the time was a heavy burden on Tang Jiumin, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
In the quiet alley, Tang Jiumin leaned slightly back against the wall, with the muzzle of the gun pointing slightly downward. This could reduce the pressure on his wrist and arm.
At this time, Liu Ziyun also took advantage of the situation and paid attention to the two alleys at the same time, speaking on guard while speaking.
"Yes, you are right. These werewolves are too cunning. They are not thinking about attacking at all."
"What to do next? Go to the place you mentioned before?"
Tang Jiumin shook his head first, and while moving his joints, he replied:
"It's not the time yet. It's just dark. If we leave at this time, we won't be able to tell when those werewolves will attack."
"They are a group of very smart and patient hunters. If we miss the best opportunity, things will become more difficult. Since we have to do it, we will do what we can with the greatest certainty."
"Then what should we do?" Liu Ziyun understood what Tang Jiumin meant, but what should we do specifically?
"In the hour or so before dawn each time, werewolf activities will become less and less, because they need to evacuate to recover their bodies, but one to two hours before that, during this time period, werewolf activities will be the most frequent, and the attacks will be the most frequent. eager."
"hiss……"
"you sure?"
If Tang Jiumin hadn't suddenly said this, Liu Ziyun really hadn't noticed the issue of time and werewolf activity. He was a little confused and couldn't help but check with Tang Jiumin again.
"This should be."
After Tang Jiumin finished speaking, he added: "This is also what the werewolf told me, some common sense about werewolves."
Werewolf?
Liu Ziyun's brows relaxed slightly, then frowned again.
"Then what should we do? Do we have to wait until the last period of time before taking action?"
Tang Jiumin closed his eyes, thought about it, and quickly decided on the plan.
"It takes us about 20 minutes to get from here to that location, so I suggest that we start taking action when we only have about 30 minutes at the end."
While talking, Tang Jiumin took out a pocket watch from his arms and counted the time.
"When we move a certain distance there, the werewolves will definitely not be able to resist attacking. They won't think that we have time to set up the trap, so they will definitely relax their vigilance."
"As long as we can get in there before they catch up, the rest depends on whether your trap can work."
"I don't dare to guarantee that he will be killed in one go, but he will be seriously injured even if he doesn't die." Liu Ziyun said firmly.
"Then do as you say. You have a good rest first. I can watch by myself. I will monitor both sides."
After hearing what Liu Ziyun said, Tang Jiumin nodded, quickly put down his weapon, and continued to move his sore wrist.
Unlike Liu Ziyun, he didn't have a strong physique. Two hours of intense vigilance had exhausted all his energy.
If he continues, I'm afraid he will lose his combat effectiveness early.
Tonight was undoubtedly the most peaceful night.
From six o'clock to an hour or two before dawn, the wolves howled constantly, but there were not many gunshots.
Many people knew that werewolves moved in groups and did not dare to seek death, and the werewolves did not enter the alley where Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun were.
It's almost time.
In the alley, the two looked at each other, nodded, picked up their weapons, and moved quickly towards the second ambush location.
They didn't slow down.
Attract the werewolf's attention.
Tang Jiumin even raised the shotgun, intentionally or unintentionally letting the gun body touch the wall, making more noise.
After the two walked some distance away, they heard a wolf howling nearby.
Sure enough, the werewolf followed and was near the two of them.
Tang Jiumin and Liu Ziyun looked at each other, quickened their pace together, and ran quickly towards their destination. As they quickened their pace, the howling of the nearby wolves was obviously louder than before, and there was even a hint of anger in the howling.
Tang Jiumin quickly looked back behind him and found a dark shadow looming in the alleyway where they were just now.
Great, those guys couldn't stand it any longer.
There's just one thing to do next.
That is, run!
The two of them, no, probably only Tang Jiumin, ran like crazy, and finally arrived at the planned place before the werewolf caught up. It was an alleyway extending in all directions, with a large open space in the middle.
Shortly after they entered, three werewolves also entered from three different alley entrances and surrounded the two of them.
In the middle of the open space,
Tang Jiumin took out the shotgun. He glanced at Liu Ziyun, who was also holding a pistol in each hand and nodded slightly to him.
Footsteps approach.
At this time, the three approaching werewolves did not conceal their actions, perhaps thinking that Tang Jiumin and the two could no longer escape.
In the open space in the middle, there were two circles of less obvious red marks, surrounding the two of them.
The middle of the two circles of red traces was about four meters wide. As the three werewolves slowly entered this area, Liu Ziyun's expression became more and more serious.
Suddenly, he raised his hands and aimed to shoot in the distance.
What was different from the past was that half of the bullets fired by Liu Ziyun this time created flames in the air. In almost an instant, both red marks on the ground were hit by such bullets.
These bullets are none other than the incendiary bullets in the bullet packs.
The two red marks were gunpowder that had floated on the ground in advance. Under the gunpowder, there were more than twenty cans of kerosene buried in two circles.
The gunpowder burned violently, and the kerosene tank buried below was ignited. Under the kerosene tank, the homemade explosives caught fire and exploded, immediately shattering the oil tank above.
The three werewolves smelled the smell of fire oil, and each of them looked frightened and fled backwards.
But the fire oil splashed and caught fire, forming two walls of fire in the open space, trapping the three werewolves directly inside.
At this moment, Tang Jiumin also raised his shotgun, pointed the muzzle at the nearest werewolf, and fired a shot.
At such a close distance, the werewolf who was avoiding the flames was directly hit in the upper body, and his huge body fell to the ground with the bullet belt.
"This bullet pack is indeed good, it has saved a lot of trouble!" Tang Jiumin raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at the effect caused by the burning bullets.
"As long as it works."
Liu Ziyun silently calculated the distance. Just as he expected at the beginning, the moment the wall of fire rose, the three werewolves were indeed covered in the fire.
This time the square was different from the previous ones. Although the three werewolves reacted quickly, they failed to escape because of the wall of fire in front and behind them.
The three werewolves trapped in the wall of fire had nowhere to hide, and soon their whole bodies were engulfed in flames.
While they were on fire, Liu Ziyun also picked up the shotgun and shot again at the werewolf that Tang Jiumin had knocked to the ground.
Two shots in a row.
The three werewolves were surrounded by flames, howling in pain.
Before they even had time to react, the companion at the front was seriously injured by two shots.
This unlucky werewolf let out a miserable howl, and its huge body continued to twitch in the flames.
But as Tang Jiumin finally stepped forward, aimed two shots at the upper body and head, its life suddenly came to an end.
A voice came from the system, the sixth one.
The tragic end of their companion made the other two werewolves turn around in panic.
Originally, they planned to put out the flames, but now they no longer care about it and just want to escape from here.
However, less than half a second after the first werewolf turned around, Liu Ziyun took out a short spear.
This short spear, like the one he used in the square, had a tip made of a silver kettle. But this time, it was polished even sharper by Liu Ziyun.
Liu Ziyun grasped the short spear tightly, his right arm partially transformed into a wolf, his muscles instantly expanded in a circle, and his strength increased visibly. He aimed at the turning werewolf and quickly threw the short spear.
Sure enough, at such a close distance, the short silver spear plunged into the werewolf's back, leaving a large wound with white smoke coming out.
The other werewolf only took a few more steps than the former, followed in the footsteps, and was also hit by a short spear.
However, the two short silver spears were not enough to kill them directly. The two werewolves that were hit burst out with a strong desire to survive. Although they fell to the ground, they quickly got up and quickly walked out of the alley on all fours. Run for your life.
The werewolf on the ground had just been killed by Tang Jiumin. He looked at Liu Ziyun and the two looked at each other.
"Split up, they've been seriously injured, one each."
Liu Ziyun turned around, grabbed a basket in the center of the open space, and lifted it hard.
The basket had been filled with sand and soil in advance, and when it was thrown up it covered it directly on the two fire walls in front, instantly clearing an exit.
The two left along the exit and quickly pursued the werewolves in both directions.
The bodies of the two werewolves were penetrated by silver weapons, so they couldn't run very fast at all, and their bodies were on fire, so they were easy to distinguish in the dark. Tang Jiumin didn't have to worry about being shot back by the opponent, and he just chased away with the shotgun.
It's a pity that even if the werewolf's speed has been greatly reduced, it is still a werewolf after all. It is extremely difficult for Tang Jiumin to catch up with his lifeless escape.
It was clear that the opponent was only twenty or thirty meters away from him, but he chased him for almost seven or eight streets, not counting that the opponent was circling around in the alley trying to get away from him.
Finally, turning around an alley again, Tang Jiumin looked at the werewolf less than 20 meters in front of him. He was already within the attack range of the shotgun. He raised his hand and fired.
