Chapter 203 A Bullet from the North
"Damn, does this bitch have to be so cautious?"
The fat man naturally heard the sound from that side, put down his binoculars, and cursed.
In fact, Han Shuo had also thought about the same problem that Qin Hongling was considering yesterday.
He really wanted to plant a bomb on the truck.
In this way, once Wang Bahu gets close to the truck, they can detonate it instantly.
After all, Qin Hongling had used this move on them before...
However, after careful consideration, he ultimately abandoned the decision.
Because there is a highly unstable factor on the enemy's side.
That is:
Qin Hongling.
He had long been aware of Qin Hongling's intelligence and cunning.
Because he could not underestimate his enemy, he could not reveal any clues.
If Han Shuo really had a bomb hidden in the car and it happened to be discovered by the other party, then he could imagine the consequences.
Given Wang's domineering and brutal methods, he would surely slaughter Cheng Shenghong and others in a fit of rage.
To abandon one's allies for the sake of killing one person is something Han Shuo cannot do.
That's exactly right; Qin Hongling had indeed thought of that.
After all, she had used this trick on others, and others might use it on her in return.
...
"Alright, let's wait patiently a little longer. I estimate that they will return the hostage to the demon man after they finish their inspection."
Han Shuo put down the binoculars and rubbed his eyes. His eyes were a little sore from staring at them for so long.
"That bitch is really troublesome," the fat man complained again.
Xiao Zhao, standing by the other window, said nothing and continued to intently watch the scope.
He knew that his next shot would be crucial!
If they could kill Wang Bahu with this shot, then Qin Hongling and the others remaining at the scene would be at their mercy.
Xiao Zhao had been waiting for this opportunity to get revenge for a very, very long time.
...
At this moment, Gao Zai was carefully inspecting the truck.
He not only searched the inside of the truck, but also climbed down to the bottom of the truck to check the chassis.
Just as Qin Hongling said, they were meticulous and attentive enough to not miss a single corner.
All eyes were on the truck, and Lao Wu, standing to the side, was gripping the grenade tightly in his hand.
About 10 minutes later, Gao Zai finished his inspection and shook his head at his boss.
No bombs!
Wang Bahu was already quite impatient, grumbling and cursing.
"Damn it, you're so slow and indecisive. You're great in every way, except you're too dawdling."
Qin Hongling rolled her eyes at him and responded without any politeness.
"What do you know? I'm just saying it's better to be safe than sorry."
She knew that she didn't need to hide anything from Wang Bahu.
As long as you act as usual and show your truest nature, you will be able to completely captivate Wang Bahu.
After all, it was common knowledge in the underground research institute that he liked wild and feisty women.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wang Bahu not only did not become angry, but his lips curled up even more.
He nodded in satisfaction, then pushed the hostage over directly.
"I always keep my word. Since there's nothing wrong with the goods, I'll return the people to you."
Sing-jai was already extremely weak, and Wang Ba-hu's push caused him to fall directly in front of Cheng Sheng-hong.
Cheng Shenghong was overjoyed. After working so hard for so long, he had finally rescued his brother.
He quickly helped Xingzai up from the ground and asked him with concern.
“Sing-jai, you’ve suffered.”
With his eyes half-open, Xingzai forced a smile and shook his head at his boss.
"Boss, I'm so sorry, I've dragged everyone down..."
"Don't talk nonsense. We're all brothers. There will never be any burden between us."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Cheng Shenghong instructed his men to take Xingzai to the back.
Because he knew that Han Shuo's side was about to take action, and the 13 of them needed to find an opportunity to evacuate from here as soon as possible.
Wang Bahu ignored Cheng Shenghong and the others, waving his hand as he prepared to retreat with his men.
"Gao Zai, you drive that truck and follow me straight back to the underground research institute."
After he finished speaking, he put his arm around Qin Hongling and turned to walk towards the car.
At that moment, just as he turned his head, Cheng Shenghong's eyes narrowed, and he secretly made a hand gesture behind his back.
His men behind him all understood and quickly retreated with Cheng Shenghong.
Hearing the commotion, Wang Bahu turned around and saw that the people from before had already run dozens of meters away.
He snorted coldly and ignored Cheng Shenghong and the others who were fleeing.
"Hmph! A bunch of cowards."
It's clear that he received the supplies needed for the mission today and is in a very good mood.
Qin Hongling also turned around and looked back in confusion, a sense of doubt creeping into her heart.
"What's going on? If Wang Bahu really wants to kill them, what's the point of running away?"
"Strange, inexplicable."
"Hmm? Something's not right."
"Could it be... an ambush?"
Alert, she quickly glanced around coldly at the thought that had just occurred to her.
She found nothing amiss.
Qin Hongling shook her head and gave a self-deprecating bitter laugh.
"Am I being overly cautious?"
Seeing that she remained standing still, Wang Bahu impatiently urged her on.
"You bitch, what are you muttering to yourself about? Get over here right now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly!
He seemed to catch a glimpse of a black dot out of the corner of his eye.
"What is that?!"
Wang Bahu has always been extremely afraid of losing his life.
Although he wasn't sure if the black dot was a bullet, he instinctively tilted his head to dodge.
No sooner said than done, the bullets had already arrived in the distance as he tilted his head.
Suddenly! Whoosh!
The bullet grazed his face, and with its remaining force, struck the tree trunk behind him.
"boom!"
Wood chips flew everywhere, and a large crater was blasted into the tree trunk.
"Bang!" At that moment, the sound of gunfire from the small building reached his ears.
Xiao Zhao's shot ultimately failed to eliminate Wang Bahu.
The crosshair was perfectly accurate; if Wang Bahu hadn't tilted his head to dodge at the last moment, the bullet would have hit him squarely between the eyebrows.
Unfortunately, even with their advanced genetic evolution, humans at level 4 are still too fast at reacting.
Han Shuo knew that they might only have one chance to launch a sneak attack from the small building, so he didn't have Xiao Zhao aim at Qin Hongling, but instead chose to shoot Wang Bahu, the strongest fighter.
They naturally wanted to kill this vicious one-eyed woman with the first shot.
However, doing so can only be considered as venting personal grievances, and it will also bring greater danger to Cheng Shenghong and his group.
From a holistic perspective, aiming Zhao's first shot at Wang Bahu was the most correct choice.
Because if Wang Bahu were to die, the remaining few would be at their mercy.
Conversely, if Qin Hongling were killed with the first shot, it would surely enrage Wang Bahu to the point of losing all reason.
Wild beasts are often most terrifying at this time.
Regardless of whether Wang Bahu targets Xiao Lou or Cheng Shenghong after Qin Hongling's death, the situation will definitely be beyond everyone's control.
...
Wang Bahu, who had escaped death, was furious.
The bloodstains on his face made him look even more frightening.
He was extremely angry; he knew he had just narrowly escaped death.
It was so close, so very close. If my reaction had been even a fraction slower, I would probably be a corpse by now.
"Damn it, who is it?!"
Wang Bahu's eyes were fierce as he glared angrily at the north.
"North, north, the bullets are coming from that direction!"
Soon, he spotted a small building in the distance.
At this moment, he still retained a shred of rationality.
The next second.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Bahu pulled out a smoke bomb from his pocket and threw it at his feet.
