Chapter 188
No one is truly fearless, the only difference is what we fear and to what extent. For a vicious drug dealer like Manan, fear is like conscience, which he has long abandoned. He will not think of it until he is at his wit's end.
Seeing such a huge eye up close, he was certain that this was the terrifying creature his companions had seen many years ago. It also explained the strange silence in the woods. Animals have a very strong sense of territory. With such a huge and terrifying thing nearby, other creatures dare not make a sound.
And this is just the head. Although the body hidden underwater has not been seen yet, it can be imagined that what he saw is just the tip of the iceberg.
In an instant, a chill surged from the soles of my feet, spreading along my blood vessels and throughout my limbs.
After many years, Manan finally felt the fear again. If it were in the past, the fear would have aroused the viciousness that had been ingrained in his bones. No matter what monsters or demons they were, he would have just raised his hand and fired a few shots. But now, my mind was clearly telling me to shoot it. At such a close distance, and targeting a vital part like the eye, it would be very likely that I would seriously injure it. At worst, I could just run away. However, my body simply did not move. It was as if my feet were made of concrete and I could not move an inch. My hands also felt as if they were weighed down by thousands of pounds and it was extremely difficult to even move a finger.
The others soon realized something was wrong and turned around to meet a huge eye. Their mental strength was not as good as Manan's, and their screams of fear echoed through the mountains and forests.
After an unknown amount of time, Manan finally regained some control of his body and raised his hand with difficulty to shoot. However, the muzzle of the gun was still some distance away from the target, and the huge head in front of him began to move. There was no need for any complicated movements, just a swing in another direction, and he and his men were knocked away. Their bodies drew an arc in the air, and finally fell in different directions, making a series of muffled sounds.
His men were already injured, and now they were hit again. Those with more serious injuries fell to the ground and fainted. The rest were not much better off. Although they were still conscious, they were temporarily unable to move. As for Manan himself, he had very bad luck. After being knocked away, he directly hit the nearby tree trunk. The whole person felt like he was run over by a car, and all his limbs were in pain.
All of this is simply terrible. The only thing to be thankful for was that the horrible creature did not follow them and remained lurking in the river with only a huge head exposed.
But before Ma Nan could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the grass not far away. It was a rustling sound, as if something was stepping on the vegetation and grass.
After the fear brought by the giant creature gradually subsided, he finally remembered that they were forced to the river. Their current situation was like a wolf in front and a wolf behind...
Before he could finish his thought, a big head appeared in sight. With the moonlight shining down from the sky, you can see the fur on its head vaguely forming the Chinese character "王". It's a real tiger!
It’s true that there’s a tiger behind!
The fear was only because it appeared too suddenly, but tigers were nothing to Manan. He still held the gun in his hand. It was like a life-saving straw to him and he would not let go even if he died. If he can’t handle the huge creature by the river, can he handle a tiger? ! Anyway, if we are all going to die in the end, it doesn't matter if we take someone with us as a scapegoat!
The tiger seemed to think that its prey was immobile and posed no threat, so it did not pounce directly.
He calmly gripped the gun in his hand, ready for a sneak attack. However, the plan failed again. The hand moved a little bit, and suddenly it could not move anymore, as if it was being held down by something.
Ma Nan was startled and looked over with the corner of his eye. He saw a tall and slender figure, and it was the other person's foot that was stepping on his hand.
But how is that possible? !
There is a tiger next to it? !
"Xiaohua, why are you here?" A low voice sounded above my head. It was deliberately disguised and it was impossible to tell the age. "This is a good lesson for you, to let you know how dangerous humans are. In the future, you should either stay away from humans or kill them with one shot, otherwise you may be the one who suffers in the end. Do you see this thing? It's called a gun. It can hit you from a long distance, and the bullet will penetrate your skin..."
Xiaohua, who had come over just to join in the fun and to help, was scolded by Jing Ling. Because she was afraid, she tried to hide behind him with her huge body. However, no matter how hard it tried to curl itself into a ball, it still couldn't hide.
Seeing this, Jing Ling was quite amused.
Ma Nan, who was lying on the ground unable to move, saw this and suddenly had an idea in his mind. However, because it was too unexpected, his voice was filled with disbelief, "Li... Li family?!"
He spoke the local language and his accent sounded a little strange and out of place.
Hearing this, Jing Ling lowered his head and glanced at him, "Oh, you still remember it?"
It’s actually true! ! !
Manan's eyes widened instantly, and his voice became distorted for a moment, "How is this possible?! Aren't they all dead?!"
In the early years, he and his companions had been active in the Republic and in areas adjacent to several other countries. After completing several big deals in succession, they were targeted by the domestic government. Originally they didn't care, because it was unavoidable in this line of work, but after a series of accidents caused them to suffer heavy losses, they felt that something was wrong. At first, we thought there was an internal spy, but after a period of investigation, we found that there was something fishy going on in the country.
They spent a lot of manpower and resources to bribe the people above them, and it was the Li family who caused them to suffer successive defeats. So there was the tragic murder of an entire family more than a decade ago. However, after committing the crime, the hidden danger threatening them was resolved, but they also angered the people above them. After the Thunder Sweeping Operation, the originally huge organization fell apart, all of his companions died, and only he was left to flee abroad.
After hiding for so many years, he finally recovered some strength. He originally didn't want to set foot on this land again, but the temptation of this deal was too great. He thought that it had been so long and the people above should have almost forgotten about it, so he took a risk, but he didn't expect to fail completely.
"Yes, they are all dead." Jing Ling's tone sounded a little nonchalant, "But who made you unlucky?"
It has been more than four to five hours since the person code-named J entered the mountain. The people from Raoshancheng Public Security Bureau were waiting at the foot of the mountain. They were unwilling to accept it at the beginning, but later gradually turned to worry and complaint.
"I don't know what the people above are thinking. They really think this is a game of hide-and-seek for children, asking one person to catch so many drug dealers!"
"You've watched too many superhero movies, haha!"
"It's been so long and there's still no movement. Could it be... that?"
Waiting time is always dull and boring. After enduring nearly an hour of hard work, there was still no movement. The team leader was ready to report the situation to his superiors to see whether to start a search and rescue operation and take over the mission at the same time.
However, before he could dial the number after taking out the phone, he heard the teammate in charge of observing the situation shout, "He's back!"
The man codenamed J did not come back alone. He was carrying someone on his shoulders. He walked in and threw the person to the ground casually. The people from Raoshan City Public Security Bureau checked and were immediately surprised, because this person was the main target of this operation, Manan Diwa!
This person actually completed the task single-handedly!
Before they could recover from their surprise, they heard the person named J say, "There were ten people in total, and I accidentally killed four of them. I only brought this one back. The rest are still in the mountains. Please help me move them."
There were only ten drug dealers who entered Changchuling this time, but they were all taken care of by this man, and he himself was unharmed!
It's a superhero movie, and the protagonist still has to get injured and go through a lot of setbacks. This person is even more exaggerated than in the movie!
After these people were satisfied with their surprise, Jing Ling led the four people he had counted out and returned to Changchu Ridge again. He didn't go too far this time because he had already moved everyone here. When he went there, he went upstream, but when he came back, he went downstream. He made a temporary raft, threw everyone on it, and floated along the water for a long distance until the terrain suddenly changed to form a waterfall, and then he stopped.
This actually saved the people at Raoshan City Public Security Bureau a lot of trouble.
In just one night, the originally difficult task was completed. On the way back with all the surviving drug dealers, the people from the Shancheng Public Security Bureau still felt that it was a little unreal, as if they were dreaming and feeling light and airy.
This is simply a credit that fell from the sky. Although they basically didn't help much and just moved something in the end, as long as they participated, they will definitely get some benefits when the rewards are given in the end!
The group was overjoyed.
But he didn't know that Jing Ling had hidden something good, so he called Xu Shaohuai before going down the mountain.
"Brother Xu, I found something interesting. See who you want to give it to."
