Daomu Biji: Restart

Book 1: Chapter 210

I had never been in such a hard-pressed situation before. I used to think that everything had a solution, but now my mind was a mess. It wasnt that I had become pessimistic, I was just feeling too pressured at this time. When we were at Changbai Mountain, we at least had washbasins and sanitary napkins as weapons, but I didnt have anything on hand right now.

Could I just wait it out?

I knew that Black Glasses wouldnt wait. Even Poker-Face might have immediately realized something was up and decided to move before notifying us. I imagined myself jumping onto one of their safety ropes, sliding down to a Wang killer, knocking him out with a kick, and then shooting at the crowd with his gun. After throwing them into the abyss like grapes, I would then knock out all the lights above and drag them into the darkness to fight.

We had Black Glasses, after all. Even Poker-Face might not be able to beat him in the dark.

No, this was only something fucking Schwarzenegger could do. The bullets wouldnt pass by me or hit my muscles and only leave a small bloody hole. This kind of gun would definitely leave a substantial hole in your body. Without modern medicine here to save me, I only had to be shot twice before I would die. The most likely possibility was that I would jump on the safety rope, slide down, fall into the arms of a Wang family member, get my jaw pulled off by him, and then kicked directly into the abyss.

Wait a minute, what did I just think of?

Lights?

I secretly poked my head out and looked at the hanging lights, wondering if there was any way to put them out.

If only Kan Jian were here! His slingshot was silent, ammo was available everywhere, and it was more appropriate for him to shoot the lights with his slingshot. But unfortunately, he didn't come down with us. Just as I was at my wits' end, I heard Boss Jiao to shout, "Wu Xie, come out. It's a dead end. Ill find you sooner or later. I wouldnt even be bothering with you, but I dont want you to disturb my final plans. I know youre hiding. Fine, then. I'll cut the rope holding Xie Yuchen in five minutes. If you come out, I'll let you live long enough for me to finish my work. It's going to thunder soon. There are still twenty minutes left, so dont bother me."

Boss Jiao was so excited that he was almost incoherent. I looked at my phone. Five minutes I believed he would really do it. Many people had already died for this matter and Xiao Hua wasnt very special to him.

The falling lights stopped moving, and I noticed that all of the Wang family members were on high alert. That was the direction where Fatty had disappeared just now. Maybe they saw his parachute hanging on the tower wall. I did some quick calculations in my mind. If it was anyone else, it might be fine. But this was the Wang family. They made almost no mistakes. Fatty's attempt to look like a naked statue would definitely be seen through.

Sure enough, the Wang family started shooting indiscriminately at the Buddha statues on the tower wall. At this time, my brain was working at top speed. I would be shot directly if I went out right now, but the manic Boss Jiao had snapped now that he was close to reaching his destination. Twenty minutes wait a minute! If he couldnt reach the bottom of the tower within twenty minutes, what would happen to him?

I didnt know what was at the bottom of this tower, but my instincts were telling me that this twenty-minute deadline was important. Boss Jiao continued shouting to me, "Its been two minutes. There are still three minutes left before I let Xie Yuchen fall directly to his death. Wu Xie, didnt you claim that you can always get out of a predicament? Give it a try this time."

I was sweating all over. In reality, I only had one minute, because I knew that Poker-Face and Black Glasses would definitely make a risky attack in the last two minutes. I was too familiar with their routine, so I knew that Black Glasses definitely wasnt in his original position anymore. Since their physical strength was so amazing, they always chose to take the initiative to attack.

As I calculated the time in my heart, I had a big hunch that we were going to lose this time. Boss Jiao started to say, "There are still two minutes left", but I suddenly rolled to the top of the stone beam, got up, and shouted at the place that was hidden by the backlight overhead, "Im here! Let me tell you, without me, you can't get down to the bottom in twenty minutes"

But before I had finished speaking, a gunshot rang out from above and hit me directly in the heart. When I was hit by the force of the bullet, I immediately fell off of the stone beam.

****

Ok ok. I'm really done this time lol. I watched Indiana Jones and got inspired to get another chapter out (I really just wanted to know what happened to Xiao Hua but now we've got this cliffie. Ha ahahaha. I swear I don't do it on purpose) (_
