Chapter 75 Countercurrent
Wei Changan looked at Scarface and his eyes became extremely vigilant.
He knew that Scarface had had an implant; this was noted in previous information about this person, but he thought it was only for civilian use. It could surpass some normal limbs in combat, but the effect was still limited. For fighters like them who were trained through formal channels, this advantage was not very obvious.
But military use is completely different.
Military implants correspond to thermal weapons on the battlefield. For some more advanced implants, ordinary weapons have little effect on them.
However, this type of implant usually requires the support of a medical team and a large amount of medication. It is not as simple as just implanting it and being done with it. How did Scarface do all this by himself?
Even if he had Qiu Huzi's medicine in his hands, it would not last long.
But it seems useless to think about these things now. I can only think about how to deal with them.
At this time, most of the people involved in the roundup had arrived, and many people saw this scene and were stunned. However, they did not know about the military implant and just thought that Scarface was wearing protective gear or something.
Among the many people, there were many from the boxing club. A few boxers saw that Scarface had just been shot and seemed to be in a bit of a disadvantage, so they thought this was an opportunity and rushed forward without thinking.
Wei Changan immediately warned loudly: "Be careful, it's dangerous!"
Unfortunately, when the firecrackers went off, his voice was covered up a lot. I don’t know whether these people didn’t hear it clearly or didn’t care at all, and they didn’t stop at all.
This time, three people rushed in the front, one came towards the front, one aimed at the bottom, and the other went around behind.
The movements of the two people in front were very careful. An experienced person could tell from their eyes and posture that they were aiming to knock someone down.
This idea is not wrong. No matter how strong Scarface is, as long as he falls to the ground, he will be at their mercy.
Scarface saw someone approaching and swung his hammer. The man in front of him seized the opportunity to dodge and jumped to the front. He quickly and forcefully grabbed one of Scarface's legs, while the other man also nimbly dodged the broken knife and grabbed Scarface's arm with his backhand.
When Wei Changan was fighting with Scarface just now, he found that his movements were a little slow. He felt that the existence of the implant seemed to have some impact on him, causing him to lack coordination. Perhaps there was a problem with nerve conduction.
Although these boxers didn't know this, they could still judge how to deal with it based on their experience. As two of them twisted Scarface, the last one who came around behind also saw the opportunity. He let out a "Hey!" and kicked Scarface's knee. The kick was so strong and powerful that it made Scarface half-kneel on one of his legs.
But the next moment, Scarface took a deep breath, and his upper body seemed to swell. He moved his hand, and the hand holding the knife actually stabbed a person back, and the broken sharp blade stabbed into the mouth of the boxer who was holding his legs.
The other two boxers were also shocked, but they both knew that they couldn't retreat at this time. One of them came up from behind and grabbed his throat, while the other used all his strength to tightly lock his arm holding the knife.
No matter how strong a person is, he still needs to breathe. If his neck is strangled, he should lose his ability to resist in a few seconds at most.
After Scarface's neck was strangled, he also stood still. The hand holding the hammer loosened and the hammer head fell to the ground. Just when everyone thought it had worked, he raised his hand to the shoulder and grabbed the man's arm. With a pinch of his palm, the man screamed, and his arm bones were crushed directly.
Scarface grabbed his arm and threw him forward hard. He hit the ground with a thud. The man twitched and then stopped moving.
The person who grabbed his arm was suddenly horrified and quickly let go and tried to retreat, but the next moment he was grabbed by the clothes. However, he turned around slightly, tore through the clothes with a "swish", fell backwards, took a few steps, and then crawled out.
But before he could escape, Scarface picked up the construction hammer on the ground, swung it, and hit the man on the shoulder. The man fell forward and seemed to be silent when he hit the ground.
Wei Changan sighed softly. Even though these people were not his own, he really didn't want to see anyone die in this roundup. He turned around, trying to find Cai Si, but didn't see him. He immediately said to an older-looking man in the crowd, "Old Wu, go get some ropes."
Old Wu immediately understood what he was thinking and ran out to search for a rope.
Scarface ignored all this. Without the interference from others, he walked quickly towards the trading market ahead.
Wei Changan was not going to let him get away. If he ran to a crowded place and then surrounded him, not to mention whether he could be caught, it would inevitably cause a large number of casualties. Who knows how big a commotion it would cause. He had to stop this guy before he rushed out of the street!
He shouted, "Hold him!"
He stood back, not because he didn't want to charge, but because there were not only his own men here, but also people from the company. He had to coordinate, otherwise they wouldn't necessarily move. Furthermore, if he, the commander, lost his fighting ability, the roundup would essentially be a failure.
After hearing his order, many people rushed towards Scarface, trying to stop the latter's advance.
The scene just now did not scare them. They could see that Scarface's movements were not fast, and he was only trying to escape and had no intention of getting entangled with them. So they just had to be careful and find a way to delay his steps until they got the ropes and other suitable tools.
At the back, Cai Si also cleared the flour from his eyes. He saw what was happening in front of him and shouted to the shop owner: "Take out all the oil in the shop, no matter if it's peanut oil, soybean oil, or any other oil, take it out and pour it on the street. Be careful not to burn it!"
The shop owner was stunned, then his eyes lit up, and the people around him also realized something and went to other shops to collect fuel.
If the ground is covered with oil, even if the front is broken through, it will not be so easy to pass through. At that time, a few lassoes can catch people. Everyone can think of this situation, so the panic-stricken people suddenly calmed down.
As Scarface walked forward, he waved the weapon in his hand to drive away the harassers and seemed to be breathing hard. After just a few seconds, some sharp-eyed people noticed that his body seemed to have swelled again, and the normal skin on his face began to turn red. What was particularly noteworthy was that the breath he exhaled seemed very hot.
His movements were no longer as slow as before, but became more agile. His feet also gradually began to run in small steps instead of walking fast, and his speed was getting faster and faster.
At this time, the people sent by the commissioning company were about to step forward, but were stopped by a man who looked a bit prestigious. He shook his head at them, and one of them asked, "Commissioner Qu, what's wrong?"
Qu Envoy said solemnly, "That scarred man must have had a modified heart and lungs implanted. His blood vessels, skin, bones, and other parts may have also been strengthened. Those are implants used to break through the front lines on the battlefield. We can't stop them with the people in front of us. Don't go and die. Wei Changan will not be able to complete the commission this time."
Just as he said this, Scarface rushed forward, swinging the construction hammer in his hand. As his speed increased very quickly, the people in front of him were either knocked away by him or swung away by the hammer because they could not dodge in time. In an instant, people and horses fell to the ground, and one person was even hit and flew onto the roof of a house.
Wei Changan was also startled. He followed and said, "What are you doing standing there, the guy in front? Hold him back!"
However, unlike before, this time there were only two people who heard his call and cooperated with him. The others either hesitated or were a step slower. Although these two people tried their best to stop him, it was very difficult and they were also in danger.
At this moment, someone took out the crossbow temporarily approved by the Police Bureau and started shooting, but most of the arrows bounced off Scarface when they hit him. Even though a few of them pierced his thick arms, they seemed to have encountered a layer of obstruction and just hung there lightly, unable to stop his steps.
Wei Changan took a deep breath. At this point, he had to do it himself, otherwise he could not afford the consequences.
Chen Chuan had been keeping an eye on the movements in front of him from behind. When he saw this scene, he fixed his eyes on the scarred man, then walked towards the tall figure, facing the retreating crowd.
