Chapter 7 The First Collaboration Between the Ghoul and the Tyrant
Xing Tian's bold and meticulous plan was a success, and he successfully took the freight elevator to the sixth floor.
During this time, some of the robbers noticed that the freight elevator was moving and determined that it came from the supermarket on the basement level. They thought it was one of their own people who had finished clearing the area below, so they took the elevator up to search the area above.
I never imagined that someone would be so bold as to openly take the elevator upstairs under these circumstances.
Therefore, no additional actions were taken.
They didn't even use walkie-talkies to communicate.
Unfortunately, there was no one in the sixth-floor lobby either. The bandits were distracted by the appearance of the uncle and mostly went to help the sniper suppress the uncle below.
The sixth-floor corridor was completely empty; not a single bandit could be seen.
Xing Tian's actions proved the saying, "The bold get rich, the timid starve," and the most dangerous place is indeed the safest place.
"Xingtian, you need to calm down. The military knowledge your brother taught you wasn't for nothing. You must make good use of it. Good luck."
Xing Tian finished his observation at the fire door on the staircase, took a few deep breaths to encourage himself, and followed his memory to the outdoor store in the East District.
The elevator is located in the middle of the mall, about 70 or 80 meters away from the outdoor equipment store.
The first few dozen meters went smoothly; I didn't encounter any armed robbers or see any customers. The entire sixth floor was quiet.
Only near the north side, which is closer to the roadside, were people firing shots.
That's the uncle below the sniper.
But just as I was less than ten meters from the outdoor gear store, around the corner after the restroom, and about to see the store, an unexpected incident occurred.
Suddenly, a large hand, as big as a bear's paw, reached out from the dark corner on the right.
The hand was so huge that it not only covered Xing Tian's entire face, but almost enveloped his entire head, as easily as an ordinary person holding a peach.
Before Xing Tian could react, he was grabbed and pulled into the shadows.
"Oh my god, we're doomed."
Feeling the terrifying power emanating from his palm, as if it could easily crush his head, Xing Tian finally understood what it meant to break out in a cold sweat.
It turns out that when people are extremely frightened, they can break out in a cold sweat in a second.
but.
Xing Tian was trained by special forces, or perhaps he was born with a certain gene. Even in this desperate situation, he did not sit and wait to die.
The moment he was pulled back, he launched a counterattack to try and break free.
They used the escape techniques taught by their older brother at almost the same time.
He used the back of his head to hit the nose of the person behind him, and his heel to stomp on the toes of the person behind him. His hands were also busy, gathering strength to hit the soft spot of the person behind him.
If any one of these three moves hits, it will cause the attacker pain and exhaustion.
Xing Tian will most likely be able to escape.
However, Xing Tian failed.
Although Xing Tian used his three moves skillfully, and even managed to hit the attackers, they had no effect whatsoever.
The back of the head didn't hit the bridge of the nose, but rather the hard muscles; the elbows, which could hit a normal person's soft spot, instead struck the sides of the thighs.
Not to mention the final toe-stepping, the opponent simply raised their knee and neutralized the force.
All three of his attacks missed, and Xing Tian inwardly cried out, "Who is this kind soul who is so tall? To sneak up on me on a seesaw? This is fucking weird."
"Don't move, it's me, Chen Jun. There are people over there, let's hide first."
Fortunately, at that moment, a familiar voice came to his ears, which made Xing Tian, whose emotions had plummeted to rock bottom, breathe a sigh of relief as if he had escaped death.
That strange feeling of only being able to hit the chest with one's head made it all clear when Chen Jun's height was mentioned.
The two were 58 centimeters apart in height. Even though Xing Tian was 1.8 meters tall, there was still a 10-centimeter gap between his head and Chen Jun's armpits.
Feeling Xing Tian's muscles relax in his arms, Chen Jun didn't continue to explain.
The two sides are too close, and their conversation is easily exposed.
After receiving Chen Jun's reminder, Xing Tian turned his attention to the other side of the corner, and the clear voice of the conversation reached his ears.
"These knives are really beautiful, much better than mine."
"Stop looking, they're all junk imitations. Why use a knife when you have a gun? Just pick a couple to play with. If Mr. Yang comes down and sees we're not in our seats, we'll be in big trouble."
"Speaking of Mr. Yang, he's really got guts. He even came up with a plan like this. I heard the two foreigners who came with him are even more impressive. I reckon this operation..."
"Shh, this is a secret, don't talk about it. Once you've made your choice, let's go."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Next came the sound of people picking things out, followed by the sound of footsteps fading into the distance.
It's easy to tell from their conversation that they were sent by Mr. Yang to guard the sixth floor, but they've now abandoned their posts to pick up their own goods.
Men are all powerless against beautiful knives, and these ruthless bandits are no exception.
"Alright, they're gone, let's hurry over there."
Chen Jun didn't ask Xing Tian how he got here, because it was obvious even to a child. So he let go of Xing Tian and started to feel his way around the corner.
"Chen Jun, you really scared me just now."
Xing Tian looked at the broad bear back in front of him, which was like a wall, and complained with a hint of bitterness.
Fortunately, it was his own man, Chen Jun, who made the move. If the bandits had successfully ambushed him here, Xing Tian couldn't even imagine how terrible things would have happened to him.
"They're right next door. If they call you and you instinctively respond, we're all doomed."
Chen Jun gave a brief explanation, glanced around from the corner and found that the bandits had already gone far away, then darted into the outdoor equipment store next door.
Xing Tian thought Chen Jun's words made sense, so he quickly followed.
When someone suddenly calls your name from behind, you'll usually instinctively respond with an "Eh" or "What?"
This reaction is even more intense, especially under conditions of high stress.
Therefore, if you have enough power to control the other party and prevent them from making a sound, the wisest choice is to control them first.
Chen Jun entered the store with a clear objective, heading straight for the crossbow hanging on the wall.
Taking advantage of his height, he didn't need a ladder. He took down the crossbow and arrows hanging at the top and then started looking for other arrows.
After searching for a long time, they still couldn't find it; it seemed the crossbow was just a display piece.
Instead, Xing Tian went straight for the knives. At that moment, he found a small box at the bottom of the counter. When he opened it, he found several knives inside.
The blade and material of that cold, sharp knife were completely different from those displayed in the cabinet.
These are obviously genuine products!
Xing Tian selected five from them, walked up to Chen Jun, and handed him two of them, saying, "Bock machetes, genuine heavy-duty machetes from America."
It is 62 centimeters long and weighs 745 grams, which is perfect for you.
This smaller one is an American cavalry blade, 36 centimeters long and weighing about one pound. It would be a longsword for others, but for you, it's just right as a dagger.
