Zhang Shi was amused, not expecting that this bald guy was quite savvy in social interactions.
Behind the bald man, the fear on the face of the blond-haired burly man suddenly disappeared, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and he shouted loudly.
"Boss, we're ready!"
As he spoke, he took out a bundle of things tied together from his backpack, took out a lighter with his other hand, lit it, and threw it to Zhao Feng.
Upon hearing this, the bald man quickly retreated, fearing he would be caught in the crossfire.
Zhang Shi guessed that this thing was probably some kind of homemade explosive, and it must be an explosive device, so he quickly reminded Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng had already noticed Huang Mao's actions, but it was too late to dodge. He could only hold the axe horizontally in front of him and quickly retreat.
With a loud bang, the homemade explosives detonated, and the powerful shockwave sent Zhao Feng flying several meters away. The surrounding wall was also blasted open with several cracks, and Pipi was so frightened that he kept screaming.
After Zhao Feng fell to the ground, he did not get up. Zhang Shixin was alarmed and quickly went forward to check on him.
Blood was trickling from Zhao Feng's mouth as he lay unconscious, his body covered in wounds from shrapnel, indicating he was seriously injured.
"You've really given me too much face, you bastards!"
Enraged, Zhang Shi summoned the Black Mist Guards to join the battle. A cloud of black mist drifted down from the watchtower, quickly condensing into a tall knight figure, which charged towards the bald man.
The bald man was also affected by the explosion and was stunned. When the blond man saw a monster shrouded in black mist rushing towards them, he realized that the situation was bad. He shook the bald man and took out a cross from his pocket and placed it in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the cross actually worked. Perhaps because the sunlight was too strong, the black mist guards were unable to exert their full strength and were forced to retreat repeatedly by the cross.
The bald man had recovered by this time, narrowly dodging Zhang Shi's arrow. He took out a musket from his pocket and pointed it at Zhang Shi.
"Kid, look what this is. You dare to mess with it?"
Zhang Shi frowned, surprised that they could produce so many firearms. He wasn't intimidated, but felt that these three men were unusual, and that he might have underestimated them.
Zhang Shi ordered Pipi to drag Zhao Feng to a safe location, and then he could act freely. Since the Black Mist Guards couldn't offer him any immediate assistance, Zhang Shi ordered them to stand guard at the shelter's entrance to prevent the two from resorting to desperate measures.
Seeing the monster shrouded in black mist leave, the bald man assumed Zhang Shi had given in, and slowly approached, sneering.
"Kid, you're smart to know what's good for you. Open the door now and hand over all your valuables, and I'll give you a quick death."
The bald man silently calculated the distance between himself and Zhang Shi. The effective firing range of the musket in his hand was less than fifty meters, and its accuracy became increasingly absurd the further away it went. He was looking for a suitable distance to kill Zhang Shi with a single shot.
Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters. Zhang Shi remained standing there, motionless.
A smug smile crept across the bald man's face. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Zhang Shi moved. His figure flashed before the bald man's eyes like a ghost, making it impossible for him to aim for a moment.
The musket only had one shot; if it missed, the bald man would lose his advantage and be put on the defensive. After weighing his options, the bald man could only retreat with the musket in hand, trying to create some distance.
As the bald man stepped back, Zhang Shi stopped and drew back the composite bow in his hand.
Seeing the arrow gleaming in the sunlight, the bald man quickly dodged. He was a survivor who had allocated his attribute points to strength and agility, making him quite fast, which was one of the reasons he had dodged Zhang Shi's arrow earlier.
But Zhang Shi's arrow wasn't aimed at him at all.
The arrow pierced the air, carrying a triple impact, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced through the blond man's chest. The energy arrow was triggered, completely shattering his body into a cloud of blood mist.
Witnessing his companion's brutal death, the bald man was both frightened and furious, and with a shout, he fired his gun.
"Go to hell!"
In desperation, Zhang Shi could only leap to the side to dodge, but his current agility was not enough to dodge the bullets. Moreover, the bald man's musket fired sand, which had an effect similar to a shotgun.
Although Zhang Shi avoided most of the bullets, his legs were still hit by sand. Fortunately, the sand gun was not very powerful, and the injuries were all superficial.
After rolling on the ground, Zhang Shi drew the bowstring taut again, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
The two were already quite close. Although the bald man had already made a dodging move in advance, Pipi's sudden appearance behind him caught him off guard.
The bald man was bitten by Pipi and dragged to the ground. Zhang Shi released the bowstring, and the bald man's thigh was pierced by an arrow. He screamed and rolled on the ground.
Zhang Shi got up, took a breath, and worried that the bald man might cause some trouble, so he gave up the idea of keeping him alive, quickly stepped forward, drew his bow, and aimed at the man's head.
At this moment, the bald man frantically displayed his system panel. A red-haired man with a ponytail appeared on the screen, with deep blue eyes and striking features; he appeared to be the leader of this group of foreigners.
“Brother, I am Bell, the leader of the Eagle Gang. I believe you have heard of me. Spare his life, and I will do my best to satisfy any resources you need. I can also make decisions regarding what happened between you two and will not let the villains of the Eagle Gang make things difficult for you again.”
Zhang Shi watched the man on the screen with great interest, not expecting that the bald man had already turned on the video synchronization, and that Bell had already grasped the situation of their battle.
"That Bale who's ranked second in the world, I've heard so much about him."
Bell smiled slightly, leaned back on the sofa, and continued speaking.
“Our Eagle Gang is the largest force in this area. We not only have the ability to gather our members, but we also have the capability to explore beyond the shelter’s boundaries. My men are on orders to explore outwards. They may have had some friction with other survivors along the way, but these minor misunderstandings can be resolved. Don’t you agree?”
Zhang Shi smiled dismissively, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Bell's words.
"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhang Shi, the one who stepped on your head and became the world's number one. Your people hurt my friend. It won't be long before I personally come to visit you. Get ready!"
Bell sat up straight, his face turning cold. Considering the vastness of the shelter, he believed Zhang Shi's words to a large extent, even automatically filtering out the sarcasm in Zhang Shi's words.
"So you're Zhang Shi. Nice to meet you. This whole thing was a misunderstanding from the beginning. I hope you won't mind. What do you need..."
Zhang Shi interrupted Bell, drew the bowstring taut, and ignored the bald man's screams.
"I didn't kill him immediately so I could send you a message. Now that the message has been delivered, he can die now."
After saying that, the arrow pierced the bald man's skull, and the video feed immediately stopped.
On the other side of the screen, Bell angrily smashed the table in front of him and said coldly.
"Zhang Shi, is that right? I look forward to the moment I meet you."
