Chapter 858: The Cunning and Purity-Opposite, the Punisher's Ambush
"Everyone who is supposed to come has come, and we're almost ready." The old man with the stick said to himself, his head shaking slightly, his ears seeming to listen carefully to something.
"Get down." The old man with the stick suddenly shouted, and then he lay down.
Danny, Luke, and Jessica were a little confused, but they also listened to the warning of the old man with the stick and immediately lay on the ground.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
Intensive gunfire rang out, and bullets came from all directions, penetrating the glass and door panels, and hitting the hands and bodies of the members who formed the encirclement.
Blood splattered and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
The first group to fall were Sowanda's men. These people were all elite soldiers, holding powerful firearms in their hands. After eliminating them, the danger to Gunsou and others would be greatly reduced.
After a round of fierce shooting, more than half of the soldiers were killed or wounded, and the rest hid behind the cover in panic. However, Alexandra, Mrs. Gao, Bo Tu and Murakami were unharmed.
Their reaction speed was faster. After the old man with the stick made the motion of lying down, they immediately realized what would happen and hid in the blind spot of the shooting at the first moment.
"Stick old man." Alexandra squatted behind a table, and a rare anger appeared in her voice, "You really are a cunning old man!"
I thought I could catch them all in one fell swoop this time, but I didn't expect that this old bastard Gunsou would be so unsportsmanlike.
In order to plot against them, he did not hesitate to use himself as bait, and even Iron Fist and his men became part of the bait, and he even shamelessly used guns.
When did the Zhenchun Society become so advanced? Aren't you supposed to play with cold weapons like swords?
"Same here, but the word 'cunning' doesn't seem to suit me in front of you."
The old man with the stick said this without feeling sad or happy, but a hint of pride appeared on his face.
At this moment, he was squatting behind a large cabinet with Danny and the other two, leaning on a knife, only a few steps away from the back door of the restaurant.
After the gunshots rang out, he asked Luke to push the largest cabinet in the restaurant over to cover their movement towards the door. After all, he was the only one among them who was not afraid of bullets.
"Hahaha! Old friend, this trap is really good." Mrs. Gao said with a smile, and then changed the subject, "But you should know that it can't deal with a few of us."
Hearing this, the old man with the stick fell into a brief silence.
He also wanted to bury his hands and the society here, but this was simply unrealistic.
Several leaders of the Hand have lived for at least several centuries, and their resurrection technology has been constantly improving over the past few hundred years.
At first they could only resurrect at the original location, but now they can set the resurrection location in advance. Unless their heads are chopped off, they can be resurrected at a specific location after death.
This will require a lot of resources, but there will definitely be no shortage of hands and equipment, at least these five fingers.
"Even if Zhenchun set up an ambush in advance, he still can't deal with them?" Danny frowned.
"We are still too short of time." The old man nodded silently, "I have too few people and weapons and ammunition are also very short. This record is already quite good.
As for killing Alexandra, just think about it. They are not that easy to kill. Under normal circumstances, the threat of bullets to them is the same as the threat of bullets to you. "
"Um...excuse me for asking." Jessica raised her hand weakly and said, "Did you plan all this?"
The old man hesitated for a while and said, "I guess so!"
"So we've become part of your plan?"
"Child, how does it feel to be involved? Isn't it wonderful?"
Jessica was so angry that she laughed, "Matt is right, you are the opposite of purity."
"Don't worry about the details, the important thing is that we have to get out of here quickly.
Once Suowanda and his men arrive, the situation will be reversed in an instant."
"You guys go first!" Luke said in a deep voice, "I'll cover you."
The old man with the stick crouched down and tiptoed into the back door.
Danny and Jessica followed suit and followed closely behind him.
Finally it was Luke's turn, but as soon as he stood up, Mrs. Gao reacted.
"They're trying to run, stop them."
Luke rushed in through the back door and pulled the cabinet to block the door.
"Chase them, don't let them get away." Alexandra said sternly.
However, as soon as the members of the Shouhe Society appeared, gunfire rang out again, forcing them back.
"What a bunch of trash." Mrs. Gao said speechlessly, then raised her hand and turned off the lights in the restaurant, and the surroundings were suddenly surrounded by thick darkness.
"Chase." Alexandra ordered again.
Bang! Bang!
At this moment, the sound of more than a dozen heavy objects falling to the ground suddenly sounded, evenly distributed in every corner of the restaurant, and everyone in the meeting was suddenly stunned.
A few fingers reacted first and their faces suddenly changed.
"Grenade."
boom!
A violent explosion sounded, flames dispelled the darkness, and screams followed.
Several people who had just left the restaurant looked back at the black smoke rising behind them and couldn't help swallowing.
"Luckily the store manager and his friends left first, otherwise he would definitely be dead." Danny's mouth twitched slightly, "It's just that half a year's rent doesn't seem to be enough. I have to redecorate his store."
"This is also part of your plan." Jessica looked at the old man with a stick in astonishment, "That's too mean!"
"The effect is very good." The old man with the stick said to himself, "But he should have buried explosives. Such an explosion cannot kill them."
"Him? Who is he?" Luke asked.
"We'll talk about this later. We need to get out of here first."
"Wait, where's Matt?" Danny suddenly asked, "Shouldn't he be here?"
"Isn't that it?" The old man with the stick pointed his samurai sword at the trash can by the wall in anger. A person could be vaguely seen lying there in the shadows at night.
"Oh my God!" Danny exclaimed, and immediately went over to pull Matt out.
He had several obvious wounds on his body, his clothes were soaked with blood, and his breathing was very weak.
"I knew it would be like this." The old man with the stick patted Matt's cheek with the back of his knife. "If you're not dead, get up and walk away."
"Hey!" Jessica couldn't bear to watch it anymore, "Can he leave like this?"
call!
Matt suddenly opened his eyes, breathed heavily, and stood up in surprise under Jessica's astonished gaze.
"what's the situation?"
"Don't make a fuss." The old man with the stick explained nonchalantly, "He is the most talented warrior I have ever seen. He has suffered more serious injuries, but he recovered in a few days.
Now... go back and bandage it, get some sleep and it should be fine."
"What a... weirdo."
"It seems that we have no right to call others weird!" Luke said.
"That woman...didn't kill you?" Danny was a little surprised.
Hearing this, Matt smiled and shook his head, "Stick Old Man, Erica still remembers me and her name.
I can feel that she is lost now, but I can bring her back."
"That's just your wishful thinking." The old man rolled his eyes indifferently, "If she still remembered you, you wouldn't be hurt so badly."
"She didn't kill me," Matt emphasized.
"Probably just forgot to last hit, Matt.
I don't want to discourage you, but if you see her next time, it's better not to have any luck.
If you accidentally kill yourself, I won't collect your body."
Matt remained silent, but in his heart he still sneered at the old man's words.
At this moment, the manhole cover not far away suddenly shook, and a hand pushed open the cover and climbed up from the bottom.
"It's you." Luke's eyes widened.
"Frank?" Matt looked at the man in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick you up."
"Do you know him?" Jessica asked curiously.
"Frank Castle," Matt introduced. "The famous Punisher."
"Punisher." Jessica opened her mouth in surprise. "It's really weird today. People like us show up in such large numbers."
"I told you this is destiny." Danny suddenly felt a sense of mission. "The four of us, no, the five of us and the True Pure Society should unite to fight against evil organizations like the Hand and the Society."
Matt looked at Frank hesitantly, "Don't tell me you've joined the True Pure Society. If you have, it's better to quit as soon as possible. This old man will definitely send you to do a lot of inexplicably dangerous tasks."
The old man with the stick glared at him angrily and said, "You are my disciple. I didn't force you to join the Zhenchun Society, but you can't stop me from recruiting people!"
"Thank goodness, it looks like you haven't joined yet."
Frank shrugged, "Just simple cooperation."
"In fact, this kind of cooperation can be more in-depth." The old man with the stick said, "At least our attitude towards the Hand and the Society is the same."
"Maybe!" Frank did not comment, and then took a few people into the sewer.
"How do you know the people from the Zhenchun Society?" Matt asked curiously as he walked.
"I destroyed a drug manufacturing base of Madam Gao, and then this old man came to me and told me a very long story."
Matt couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Stick Old Man, you really should change your tactics. People nowadays are not that easy to fool."
“This has nothing to do with routine, Frank has a stronger sense of justice and mission than you do.
Although he didn't officially join the Shinjunkai after hearing the story, he also reached a cooperation with us. He is much stronger than you and Iron Fist."
"How does this involve me?" Danny was speechless. He felt like he was being blamed for some unknown reason.
“Kun Lun suffered a heavy loss because of Iron Fist’s selfishness.
However, the Punisher saved the Shinjunkai. It was he who noticed something unusual from the recent actions of the Hand and made me make the decision to evacuate in advance, and thus the Shinjunkai escaped.
He was also the one who planned today's ambush and provided the weapons. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for us to escape."
"Frank." Matt was a little surprised, "Don't you like to act alone?"
"I met a great guy and made some small changes," Frank said earnestly. "So far, it doesn't seem like a bad thing."
......
boom!
With a loud bang, the broken table was blown away.
Mrs. Gao slowly withdrew her right hand and stood up slightly embarrassedly.
Murakami and Botu also walked out of the ruins. They looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground with gloomy faces.
"This operation was a real failure!" Murakami said bluntly, "We brought so many people, but we were still tricked by that old guy."
"They are old rivals, and the old man with the stick has this ability." Mrs. Gao said.
"It doesn't matter." Botu shrugged indifferently, "We have plenty of time.
But then again, have we forgotten something?"
"Alexandra." Mrs. Gao was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to try to find the leader of the hand and meeting.
"I'm here." Alexandra pushed away the corpse on top of her and walked over, covering her bleeding waist.
"How did you get hurt?" Murakami asked in surprise.
"Are you surprised?" Alexandra cursed angrily, "Seven or eight grenades were scattered around me, blocking all my escape routes. If I hadn't pulled someone to act as a human shield in time, I might have lost my life.
That old bastard, Gunsou, is so sinister and vicious, he's clearly coming for me."
"At least we're all fine," Mrs. Gao comforted.
"Where's Heikong?" Alexandra frowned. "Where is she?"
The three of them looked at each other, and just as they were about to say something, they saw a figure slowly walking towards them.
Erica stood silently behind Alexandra as if nothing had happened.
"What happened to that man? Did you kill him?" Murakami asked anxiously.
"uncertain."
"What do you mean by unsure?"
"He was seriously injured, but he was interrupted before he could finish him off."
Murakami opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Are they to blame for not being able to hold back the old man with a stick and his men?
"Okay, this was a blunder in strategy," Alexandra said, then looked at Erica, "Bring me my medicine."
Erica nodded and walked outside to get a small glass bottle from the car.
Alexandra opened the vial and poured the entire contents into her mouth.
"Phew! Much more comfortable."
"Your wound?" Murakami looked at Alexandra's waist and abdomen with some surprise. The places that were scratched by shrapnel miraculously stopped bleeding.
"This is why I must control Gaius." Alexandra said frankly, "This bottle of medicine was prepared by him.
I have done experiments and found that this medicine can heal most injuries except fatal ones, and it can also nourish the body.
In a sense, this is a low-profile version of the dragon bone, which can greatly reduce the loss of our resources. "
"I understand what you mean." Madam Gao said in a deep voice, "That's why I didn't object, but tough measures always make me feel a little uneasy."
"Gao, you just think too much." Bo Tu didn't care, "I believe Suowanda will give us good news."
"I hope so!" Mrs. Gao nodded slowly. She also felt that she was worrying too much.
Aaron is indeed difficult to deal with, but his cousin can't be as perverted as him!
Sowanda is one of the leaders of the Hand and Peace Society. It would be ridiculous if he personally went out and couldn't even catch an ordinary person.
