Zhushi Jiu had gone completely crazy.
Not only did Du Fei think so, but even the Black Soldiers and the man behind the scenes had the same idea. However, Du Fei thought less, while the man thought more.
Neither Zhushi Jiu nor Du Fei possessed conditions that warranted caution.
Currently, Zhushi Jiu was demonstrating an unexpectedly familiar degree of understanding towards the Black Soldiers. But if he had sufficient knowledge about them, why would he be so arrogant?
In his eyes, Zhushi Jiu’s arrogance could only be attributed to one reason: he was extremely confident and didn’t fear being caught.
Or, he was waiting for them to come and catch him.
However, Zhushi Jiu’s actions suggested he would not hold back in resistance.
The contradictions in his behavior made the man notice something unusual.
“Capture them!” The man repeated his orders to the Black Soldiers through their earpieces.
The Black Soldiers’ eyes didn’t show any hesitation. Facing the potential enemies hiding in the dark, they all came out from their cover, simultaneously holding their guns, with each one preparing to charge forward.
In situations where firearms couldn’t be used, the greatest obstacle was the 20-meter distance between them. As long as they could close in on the enemy, they would have a chance to eliminate them.
Zhushi Jiu stood still, drawing his bowstring to its fullest extent.
They didn’t fear, so why should he?
“Come on!” he shouted.
Almost simultaneously, the Black Soldiers rushed forward, their state of unrelenting ferocity almost suffocating.
At this moment, Zhushi Jiu still chose to hold back.
There was only one arrow on his bowstring because he had given the Shadow Bow to Du Fei, so he couldn’t demonstrate the high level of coordination under which he could shoot multiple arrows. However, this one arrow represented an unyielding spirit unlike anything he had shown in previous confrontations.
He didn’t need to worry about being caught, nor did he need to fear the guns that had become decorations in their hands. He only needed to focus his entire being on this one arrow and wait for the perfect shot!
But he needed to get even closer!
Zhushi Jiu knew how abnormal these Black Soldiers were. Du Fei’s three arrows had made him realize that to hit these Black Soldiers, he needed to get closer, relying on his current archery skills.
The Black Soldiers charged forward, disregarding the threats around them, their speed surpassing that of hunting leopards in the dark, directly targeting their objective.
Zhushi Jiu’s hands were covered in cold sweat, but his movements remained steady.
Du Fei, on the other hand, was panic-stricken.
She still didn’t know what kind of reliance this guy had, but he was facing the Black Soldiers with such arrogance.
Although her inner heart was in turmoil, her hand movements remained steady while drawing the bow.
Her archery skills didn’t rely on an ethereal, mysterious “stillness,” but on her daily, meticulous training.
Now, if the Black Soldiers completely let their guard down, she could only pull out an arrow from the quiver, draw the bow…
Was there a better opportunity than this?
—”Shoot!!”
Four arrows!
At this moment, Zhushi Jiu’s eyes caught the four leading Black Soldiers simultaneously slowing down, the arrow flying like a silver thread in the night, heading straight for the Black Soldiers.
As they charged, the Black Soldiers didn’t choose to grab the arrow but instead dodged their heads.
Coach Du was amazing!
…
Du Fei didn’t disappoint him, successfully creating a perfect opportunity for Zhushi Jiu.
It was a moment that any archer could sense, a fleeting, perfect chance.
Zhushi Jiu didn’t let this chance slip away. The arrow on his bowstring made a soft humming sound, breaking through the air and creating a silver thread in the night, just like Du Fei’s arrow.
The Black Soldiers tensed their bodies, and they could all see that Zhushi Jiu’s arrow was aimed at the leading Black Soldier, the one closest to him, with a reaction time almost equivalent to zero.
Adding the hidden arrows from Du Fei, Zhushi Jiu’s arrow was a direct hit on their weakness.
Although it was a training arrow, its speed and power were enough to be lethal due to the close distance.
In this distance, even a novice archer would have confidence in not missing the target.
Deadly accuracy!
Zhushi Jiu’s heart was filled with anger. After shooting the arrow, he followed its trajectory, taking a step forward to charge towards the Black Soldiers.
…
The leading Black Soldier saw the arrow approaching his eyes, without any time to react.
Despite being superhuman, they hadn’t expected Zhushi Jiu to be so daring, not dodging or retreating, waiting for them to come, and then shooting them at such close range.
The two sides had already closed in to a distance of only four or five steps, and the distance was rapidly decreasing under Zhushi Jiu’s charge.
The arrow flew into the Black Soldier’s eye socket, penetrating deeply.
Zhushi Jiu simultaneously stretched out his hand.
His target was clear—he wanted to grab that gun!
No, not “grab,” “snatch”!
The leading Black Soldier let out a dull cry, the arrow carrying tremendous kinetic energy entering his eye socket. Zhushi Jiu was right in front of him, and the arrow that almost entered his brain made him freeze momentarily.
At this moment, Zhushi Jiu’s hand had already touched the Black Soldier’s gun.
Take it!
…
The feeling in his fingertips was ice-cold.
Then, he grasped the gun barrel.
Boom!
At the same time, his stomach suffered a violent impact!
Zhushi Jiu’s entire body flew backward, and the intense nausea made him lose his combat ability momentarily.
The Black Soldier withdrew his foot.
He had directly kicked Zhushi Jiu, who was almost incapacitated. When Zhushi Jiu struggled to get up from the intense pain, his stomach was hit again. One of the Black Soldiers kneeled on his body, taking out a spray can from his pocket.
“α-7…” Zhushi Jiu twisted his face to utter these words.
He gazed at the Black Soldier he had shot in the eye.
That Black Soldier didn’t die.
The Black Soldier grasped the arrow in his eye, then forcefully pulled it out.
Is he still human?!
Zhushi Jiu stared with wide eyes.
The next moment, a spray was sprayed onto Zhushi Jiu’s face.
…
Zhushi Jiu and Du Fei were both taken back to the organization.
Although they looked unharmed, the brief battle in the forest was quite intense.
—to the extent that one of the Black Soldiers was shot blind in one eye, possibly even suffering brain damage.
It was unbelievable that these two ordinary people could push the Black Soldiers to this degree. The Black Soldiers were warriors who had undergone blood and fire baptism, with combat abilities that surpassed human elites. Yet, they were injured to this extent by two people who only knew basic archery.
The middle-aged man repeatedly reviewed the forest battle recording, confirming several things.
Zhushi Jiu, that seemingly ordinary university student, had actually made preparations for today’s battle. Not only did he discuss plans with Du Fei ahead of time, but he also laid an ambush in the forest, waiting for them. And in the final moments, he abandoned his escape plan to confront them head-on. It was too abnormal.
Especially since he had even grasped the Black Soldiers’ action timing.
A series of prepared moves had almost succeeded, with him deliberately trying to get close to them.
It seemed that he was only testing, trying to counterattack under the assumption that he would be caught, but ultimately failed.
It wasn’t like they had won; it was more like the other side had handed them the victory.
Various signs made him feel like they were being manipulated by the enemy.
Also…
He played with the phone he had taken from Zhushi Jiu.
And frowned.
The identity certificate—5637467.
After opening the phone, he first saw the memo interface.
On it, a sentence was clearly recorded, one word at a time.
—”You watching? I’m waiting for you in the interrogation room.”
