Chapter 150 Mysterious and Crazy Guy
Zhou Xin never expected that what he thought was just a mob of people following Du Bois to their deaths would actually include a master among them.
If it weren't for him keeping an eye on things from behind, Edward might have already been hit.
boom!
Another shot rang out, and Zhang Jianing launched another attack on one of the approaching individuals.
The guy was hiding behind cover, but he didn't hide properly, and half of his shoulder was exposed.
This time, she finally hit the target again.
The man was shot in the shoulder, screamed, and retreated behind cover, never daring to show his face again.
The closer they are, the bigger the target, and the easier it is for Zhang Jianing to hit it.
Clearly, the remaining two were also well aware of this problem, and they both hid, refusing to move forward.
The situation reached a stalemate for a time.
However, the two people who hid behaved differently. One of them seemed to be completely intimidated and dared not move at all.
But the other one, the one who had just tried to attack Edward, was still peeking around toward Zhang Jianing's location, clearly still thinking of launching a counterattack.
Zhou Xin was quite surprised, and realized even more that this person was not simple.
If he were just an ordinary person whom Du Bois casually summoned to help, he would have lost the courage to resist long ago, just like the other person, given that his companions were either dead or injured.
But he remained remarkably calm, seemingly unconcerned about the casualties of his comrades, and still focused on launching an attack.
It seems that Du Bois didn't just pick anyone, but rather a rather professional person.
Despite the unexpected turn of events, Zhou Xin remained calm and composed.
Currently, only Zhang Jianing and Edward have made a move, while the opposing team has suffered four casualties, leaving only two people.
Meanwhile, Zhang Jianing, hidden high on the outpost, still possessed combat effectiveness and deterrent power.
Alo, meanwhile, hid in the shadows, ready to riddle anyone who dared to approach the sentry post with bullets.
After that, I was still observing the whole situation from the sidelines.
No matter who the other person is, even if it's John Wick, he absolutely cannot pose any threat to them.
The stalemate lasted for more than ten minutes. Suddenly, the person on the right, who was terrified, ran out from behind the cover, turned around, and ran away as fast as he could.
It seems this person already knows there's no hope of success and is planning to run away.
He ran frantically, ignoring his injured companion's cries for help, and ran away into the distance in an S-shaped pattern without looking back.
"Don't let him get away!" Zhou Xin ordered.
If we let these guys get away easily, they might just come back for more.
boom! boom! boom!
Zhang Jianing's face turned fierce as she treated the man like a moving target, firing shot after shot.
Although that person wasn't very strong, his footwork was incredibly stylish, making him a rather difficult target for Zhang Jianing.
Just after she fired three shots, she suddenly heard a "ding" sound in her ear—the sound of bullets hitting the steel plate of the sentry post!
Zhang Jianing's ears were ringing from the shock, and she lowered her head in fright.
Zhou Xin could see clearly that the guy with an unusual identity launched an attack on the sentry while his teammates were running away and everyone's attention was diverted.
Perhaps he deliberately instigated his teammates to run away, in order to divert their attention so that he could launch a counterattack.
This guy is indeed quite extraordinary.
Fortunately, the sentry post was protected by thick steel plates, with only a small opening exposed at the muzzle of the gun, making it very difficult for him to hit it.
"Are you alright, Ningning?" Zhou Xin asked with concern.
"No—it's nothing, my ears just hurt from the banging." Zhang Jianing's voice trembled slightly, clearly quite frightened.
"Just stay there and stop shooting."
Edward, that runaway guy is yours to handle!
Even without him saying a word, Edward was already quickly making his way towards the direction the guy had fled.
As Zhou Xin spoke, he observed the movements of the person who had just fired the shot on the surveillance footage.
Taking advantage of the moment when Zhang Jianing was startled after he fired the shot, he ran forward a long distance and was already close to the bottom of the high ground where the living area was located.
He could reach the outpost in the living quarters by climbing up the earthen slope in front of him.
Clearly, the man knew very well that he would have a hard time hitting the people on the outpost, and that he had fired just now to cover his own advance.
"What a fearless guy!"
With almost all his teammates wiped out and him all alone, he not only didn't run away, but actually thought about continuing the attack.
Such people are either highly skilled and daring, or they are complete lunatics.
It is also possible that it is a combination of both.
However, in any case, his career has almost come to an end.
As soon as he climbs the earthen slope, he will be met with a burst of bullets from Alo.
Just then, the sound of gunfire rang out again not far away; it was Edward, who had reloaded, firing at the fleeing men.
Zhou Xin was not worried about the other side at all. Caught off guard, he was shot from behind by Edward and had no chance of escape.
In addition, another person was shot in the right shoulder by Zhang Jianing. Although it was not fatal, it was enough to prevent him from holding the gun with his right hand.
Edward was also very meticulous. After defeating the fleeing man, he immediately used his familiarity with the mine to grope his way around to the man with the injured shoulder.
In this situation, all potential problems must be eliminated.
Seeing this, Zhou Xin was completely relieved. He left the monitor screen and walked towards the door.
He wanted to meet the guy who had gotten close in person and see if he could figure out his background, so he wouldn't be killed by Alo without knowing what was going on.
He walked to Alo's position, quietly gestured for him to step aside, and then hid in the shadows, staring at the figure at the bottom of the slope.
The man clearly knew that the enemy was on higher ground and that it would be very dangerous for him to climb up like that.
But he remained close to the earthen slope, climbing upwards step by step.
Under the cover of night, the man's face was obscured, but Zhou Xin could almost see the man's frenzied and excited expression.
Zhang Jianing hid on the sentry post, not daring to breathe.
But she wasn't afraid, because she knew Zhou Xin had already come down to her.
With him around, she felt very at ease and safe.
Zhou Xin silently disappeared into the darkness, but he saw every move of the person climbing up the slope.
Mud and stones rolled down the slope, and the man quickly approached the top.
He held the gun in his right hand, and with his left hand, he climbed up and emerged from the flat surface at the top of the earthen slope.
He peered around cautiously, then focused all his attention on the top of the sentry post ahead, leaped, and rolled onto the ground.
Bang bang bang!
He suddenly rushed toward the sentry post, firing repeatedly at the top of the post.
He planned to use gunfire as cover to get closer to the outpost and take out the enemy at the top.
In his opinion, the people on the outposts were the biggest threat.
Zhang Jianing covered her ears and dared not move.
As Zhou Xin watched the man approach rapidly, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
You have indeed exceeded my expectations, but that's enough!
He drew his gun and fired four shots, hitting the man's wrist and thigh.
The man's expression changed drastically; he tried to dodge, but it was too late.
He was shot in all four limbs and fell to the ground. The momentum from running caused his body to slide a short distance away.
