Liu Tie stood up, brushed off the dust and grass blades on his body, looked at his boss's face, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Boss, you left too late."
"There was nothing I could do. This man came too fast. I didn't have time to drive, and as soon as I started the ignition, he rushed over and broke the door."
It turns out that when Wu Zhifei suddenly disappeared at that time, he went back to find the boss's hiding place.
However, how did this person find out that Xie Jianye was nearby? Is there a flaw somewhere in my words?
...Forget it, there's no point thinking about it now.
"I am a fish and a fish," the current situation is very bad, and neither he nor his boss may have a chance to survive.
Having said that, no matter how slim the hope is, you still have to give it a try.
"But you, there is really no need to come to me."
"I didn't think about it, boss. I just stopped by to take a look on the way to escape, and unfortunately I was caught."
Wu Zhifei listened to the conversation between the two and said with interest:
"The relationship between you two is really good. It's not like an ordinary boss and subordinate."
"...This boy and I grew up in the same village. Later, he went out to work for a few years and then came back. I kept him with me."
Xie Jianye touched his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one and smoked. Although he looked embarrassed, his demeanor was still calm. Even if he faced the dilemma of being caught by the enemy and losing his life at any time, he did not lose his grace.
"The relationship is really good, I like you like this."
"Do you like it? Can we discuss it?"
"Oh? What are you going to discuss?"
Wu Zhifei crossed his arms with a smile. Now, he seemed to have the leisure to chat with others.
"You didn't kill us as soon as we met, which means there is still room for negotiation, right? You are not merciful to me...the people I brought."
"Haha, I didn't kill your people. As for those soldiers, they are trained killing tools. As long as the order is given, even women, children, old and young will be killed."
Wu Zhifei shrugged.
"I'm different. I like excitement and challenges. Although I don't hate killing, I don't like killing defenseless people either."
"...I see. Then, brother, if you don't have murderous intentions, can you let us both go? You can talk about whatever you want."
"Then let's talk about what you can give me."
"I'm just a country boss, what can I have?" Xie Jianye sighed and exhaled a puff of white smoke, the wrinkles on his face showing fatigue. Since having his daughter, he rarely lights up cigarettes. Unexpectedly, he would be able to smoke for a while at this time. "I only have money. I can give you whatever you want."
"Money, money is indeed a good thing. However, I want power more. As long as I have it, wealth, status, and fame are just accessories."
Wu Zhifei said.
"I didn't intend to kill anyone. I still have room for you. You know what's in the warehouse."
"..."
"——The 'thing' I want has been dug out by you a long time ago, right?"
Xie Jianye and Liu Tie looked at each other.
"I thought it was a coincidence, but it turns out you really came here for that weird thing."
There was a fire in the temple, and everything was burned away, leaving only crumbling ruins. Xingye Real Estate Company contracted the renovation project here. During the process of leveling the ruins and digging soil to fill ditches, the workers dug out a strange thing from the mud.
It was an elliptical sphere, with regular undulations and complex patterns on its surface similar to the human body.
At first, they thought it was a Buddha statue, but after cleaning it, they found that the thing looked more like an "egg". Later, they thought it might be a fossil, and even asked a paleontologist to take a look, but the result was that it was not.
The strangest thing is that the surface of the sphere clearly looks like a biomass structure, but this layer of bone-like surface is extremely strong, and they can't open it no matter how hard they try. Even using a cutting machine failed to leave any scratches. I don’t know what kind of material it is made of.
"You mean that strange...'egg'?"
"Egg? Haha, this statement is indeed quite vivid."
"Since the workers dug it out of the ground, we tried various ways to open the egg to see what was inside, but to no avail. Then we simply put it back."
"Put it back? Yes, you did put it back, but you just put it in a special large safe." Wu Zhifei replied calmly, "Did you hide it when you knew someone was looking for something in the town with great fanfare? Woke up?"
"...It seems that you have seen it a long time ago."
Liu Tie was a little helpless. But there's no way around it. Even if they send people to guard here, it won't have any effect against people like Wu Zhifei.
"Two hours ago, I walked around in it by myself, and then came out. The cabinet you chose is really solid, and ordinary equipment will probably take some effort. Although it is not impossible to break it by force, but-"
He raised his wrist, and the LCD watch he wore on it pointed to 7:30 pm.
"I want to resolve this matter before nightfall. It would be great if you happen to have the key with you."
Xie Jianye was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Yes, I always had the key to the safe."
Although he was trying to control his emotions, the hand he took out the key was still shaking at an undetectable level.
"No, no need, just come with me."
At this time, Wu Zhifei turned around unconsciously. When talking to Boss Xie, from Liu Tie's point of view, his back was completely turned to him.
This distance is just right...!
He had already observed that the other party was really the only one nearby, and Wu Zhifei's men had no intention of following him.
Just like when this person first appeared, he followed himself into the trap arranged by others, and also did not bring his own people with him. There is a defiant arrogance in every move.
Liu Tie's heart skipped a beat, and his fingers secretly touched the handle of the gun.
Whether it is in the ring or on the street, fighting or fighting, the core element of combat is always judging distance.
He had seen the opponent's action, and it was very fast, indeed very fast;
To be able to disappear in front of a group of gunmen at close range, both reflexes and athletic ability are far beyond ordinary people; it would be even more unimaginable for such a person to jump or run with all his strength.
But at this moment, Liu Tie believed in his own judgment and the speed of the bullet.
He did not want to defeat the opponent in a head-on fight, but shot the opponent with a sneak attack with a pistol. At this moment, he found that his condition was unprecedentedly perfect, and he was even confident that he could defeat any opponent in the ring, any past opponent. Own.
After concentrating with all my heart, my mind became more active than ever before, and even the flow of time seemed to slow down——
Liu Tie successfully pulled out his pistol and successfully pulled the trigger towards the opponent's head.
"Pfft!"
"boom!"
…
Dripping blood splashed freely.
Wu Zhifei turned his head to the side and slowly straightened his head.
Liu Tie's head was cut in half horizontally, and the upper half slowly slid sideways along the wound, and fell to the ground with a "snap", followed by the body that collapsed backwards. At the breach where the upper half of the head was lost, the brain sections with ravines were clearly visible, and the blood and brain matter flowing out were all over the floor.
Wu Zhifei put down his hand.
His arm was holding a machete behind his back. The blade was close to his wrist and the inside of his arm, making it difficult to detect from the perspective of others. It was this blade that provided the last fatal distance, allowing Liu Tie to make a wrong judgment. .
Wu Zhifei wiped his face, and a shallow scratch on his side cheek was bleeding.
Although the wound was not deep, the initial velocity of the pistol bullet exceeded the speed of sound, which meant that the man was only one step away from death - as long as he turned his head with a millisecond difference, he would have been shot in the back of the head.
But there was no fear at all on his face, and there was a little excitement dancing in his pupils. He shook off the blood on the knife and inserted it back into his waist.
"One person is enough."
He faced Xie Jianye again, looking at this middle-aged man who was pale and almost nauseated because he suddenly saw the tragic death of his subordinate, with a faint smile on his face.
"Let's go."
*
Ten minutes later, the boys and girls drove to the scene.
As they approached here, they found corpses strewn across the open space. The strong smell of blood and the smell of burning flesh made the place feel like hell. The scene was horrific.
Yan Jingxing was searching the corpses one after another, and found among them a guy who was obviously not dressed like an ordinary person. The gun he was carrying was actually a shotgun.
Yan Jingxing was about to get the gun, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed by the "corpse" who came to life.
... He was very strong, the strength of a specially trained adult man. He was still a junior high school student and couldn't break free at all.
Without hesitation, Yan Jingxing pointed the other pistol out of his pocket at the helmet on the man's face.
"Let go."
The man in the thick black uniform was completely disobedient. He struggled to get the shotgun that had fallen to the ground. When he found that he couldn't get it, he turned to grab Yan Jingxing's arm and tried to snatch it away. gun.
Extraordinary reflexes cannot fundamentally change his physical attributes. If caught, it is very likely that it will actually be taken away.
At this moment, Yan Jingxing made a choice "following instinct" without hesitation.
His controlled hand no longer struggled, but instead used force to hold the man in his arms. With his other hand, he slid the muzzle of the gun down and pressed it against the junction between the bottom of the helmet and his neck——
"boom!"
Yan Jingxing pulled the trigger.
The bullet entered from the chin and penetrated directly into the man's brain.
The movement of the man in his arms suddenly froze.
He expressionlessly held the man's head tightly in his arms, "Bang! Bang!" and fired two more shots. He didn't let go until the other man completely lost his strength and his body slid down softly.
Yan Jingxing knelt down and took off the helmet that the man was wearing, revealing a bearded face of about thirty years old, with lifeless blue-white lips, and turbid and scattered eyeballs staring at the night sky above.
He looked at the corpse's eyes indifferently for a while, then picked up the shotgun and fumbled for a while to confirm whether the safety was unlocked.
"boom!"
Yan Jingxing fired a shot into the air, and he was pushed back two steps, his hands and arms shaking from the recoil.
After getting used to the new weapon, he put the pistol back into his waist, then picked up the shotgun with both hands and strode towards the other end of the open space.
"Let's go."
I'll probably have to take a day off tomorrow. I've been a little busy at work recently.
