14. Accidents occur
Hearing Brother Liu still humming a melody, Gu Zhuo pulled the trigger of the air gun and hit Brother Liu's left calf with an air bullet.
With a "pop" sound, the air bullet hit Brother Liu's left calf impartially. Brother Liu only felt a pain in his left calf, as if someone had hit him hard with a stone.
"Grandma's, what is it?"
Brother Liu lowered his head and looked at his left leg. He saw a hole in the thick cotton pants he was wearing on his left leg, and the skin on his leg was slightly scratched.
The moment he saw the wound, Brother Liu shouted:
"Fuck, there's an ambush!"
Hearing this, Lao Liu and Lao Ba immediately took out the dagger from their waist and looked at the door of the supermarket, alert.
Seeing this, Gu Zhuo silently took back the air gun. Sure enough, the air gun was not powerful enough and the distance was long. The three thugs were still wearing thick cotton clothes. This attack could only barely penetrate the cotton clothes and scratch the skin. It was not fatal at all.
If I had known earlier, I might as well have prepared a crossbow, which would be powerful enough anyway.
Brother Liu saw that there was no movement, but the scratched wound on his left leg kept him thinking about it. He couldn't help shouting to Lao Liu Lao Ba:
"You two, go out and take a look!"
Lao Liu and Lao Ba had no choice but to bite the bullet and slowly walk out of the supermarket door with two daggers in hand. Gu Zhuo hid behind the pillar and observed carefully, confirming that the weapons of the two minions were only two daggers, but he just didn't know what Brother Liu's weapons were.
I have to find a way to force Brother Liu to take action in order to find out his true identity.
With this in mind, Gu Zhuo carefully leaned out a little. At this time, the three of them had not noticed him at all.
He fired again, aiming straight past the two minions and aiming at Brother Liu.
It was a bit difficult to hit the head, because he was carrying Chaoying on his back. If something unexpected happened, he might hit Chaoying, but it was more than enough to hit Brother Liu's other right leg.
The air gun fired again, and the air bullet passed through Lao Liu Lao Ba. Lao Liu Lao Ba only felt a strong wind blowing past him. The next second, Brother Liu shouted:
"He md, hit me on the leg again!"
Brother Liu lowered his head and saw that his right leg was the same as his left leg, with torn cotton pants and scratched skin, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
He was originally an ignorant little gangster. Before the apocalypse, he made a name for himself by being fat and beating people hard. After the apocalypse, he took advantage of the power of others and became a small boss.
Now that someone was plotting to attack him, he suddenly became angry and threw Chaoying to the ground from behind.
Chaoying hit the ground hard and let out a muffled groan. Brother Liu glanced down at her and said viciously: "When I finish dealing with that brat, I'll catch him and torture him to death, and then I'll do it to you again!"
After saying that, he took out a dark object from the cotton coat behind his back.
It turned out to be a crossbow!
The moment he saw the crossbow, Gu Zhuo's eyes lit up: Isn't this a weapon for him? It was at this moment that all the pre-combat methods suddenly appeared in Gu Zhuo's mind.
"MD, cover me!"
Brother Liu took out another crossbow arrow from his cotton coat and placed it on the crossbow. He pushed Lao Liu and Lao Ba and let the two of them walk in front of him to prevent him from being attacked again.
Seeing them getting closer and closer to the pillar where he was, Gu Zhuo counted down a few numbers in his mind. Then, when he heard the approaching footsteps and was about to reach the pillar, he took a deep breath, bent down, and got out from behind the pillar.
He got next to Lao Liu, and the three thugs only saw a black thing rushing out from behind the pillar at an extremely fast speed, and they had no time to react.
In panic, Brother Liu raised his crossbow and shot an arrow in the direction of the pillar.
However, this arrow was destined to miss the mark.
Gu Zhuo had already crawled next to Lao Liu. He stood up, pulled out the laser sword with one hand, strangled Lao Liu's neck with the other, and stabbed his chest cleanly with one sword.
Lao Liu groaned and fell into a pool of blood, twitching all over.
Brother Liu and Lao Ba were both shocked when they saw the man who suddenly emerged and killed one of his companions so quickly. Brother Liu quickly took out the second crossbow arrow from the back of his cotton coat and hurriedly loaded it on the crossbow.
Lao Ba was timid and did not dare to step forward. He could tell that the man in front of him was no ordinary citizen. He was tall and strong, and he could tell he was a martial artist.
"Get up here!"
Seeing that Lao Ba was hesitant to attack, Brother Liu loaded his hand with a crossbow and kicked Lao Ba on the butt, knocking him in front of Gu Zhuo.
Lao Ba was chasing the duck on the shelf, so he could only wave his dagger, scream indiscriminately, and attack randomly in front of Gu Zhuo.
As a veteran and a gold medal bodyguard, Gu Zhuo naturally looked down upon this aggressive style of gangster fighting.
He held Lao Ba's hand holding the dagger with one hand and strangled Lao Ba's neck with the other. Then he used a grappling technique to twist his hand holding the dagger 180 degrees. Lao Ba was in pain and let go of the dagger. His whole body was pinned to the ground by Gu Zhuo.
At this moment, Brother Liu had loaded the crossbow with arrows. He pointed the crossbow at Gu Zhuo and said with a cruel smile:
"TMD, what the hell, let me die!"
There was no trace of panic on Gu Zhuo's face. He glanced at Brother Liu coldly. Brother Liu was frightened by this look and was shocked: This is the look of a dead person!
He didn't dare to talk too much and was about to launch his crossbow. However, the next second, he felt severe pain in his neck, and then a warm stream of heat flowed out, and a strong smell of blood filled his nasal cavity.
He turned his head stiffly in disbelief and saw behind him, Chaoying had come out of the supermarket at some point. He was holding an extremely sharp military dagger and stabbing it into his neck.
Before Brother Liu could say anything, he stared at him with frightened eyes and fell straight into the snow.
"call..."
Chaoying was panting and his face was pale, but there was no trace of fear on his face.
"here you go."
Gu Zhuo cast an affirmative look at Chaoying.
Lao Ba, who was captured on the ground by Gu Zhuo, saw that he was the only one left among the three in an instant, and he quickly begged for mercy:
"You two heroes, please let me go. I will be a cow or a horse for you. I will do anything for you. Please let me go..."
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo's men became more powerful and shouted to him:
"You must tell me everything I ask you!"
"I understand, brother, please ask."
"Who are you three? Why did you suddenly appear here? Also, why are all the residents here missing?"
Lao Ba knew that Gu Zhuo was a tough guy and that he might not end up well if he lied, so he told everything he knew.
It turns out that after the apocalypse, these little gangsters quickly discovered that order in the city seemed to no longer work. The people who are really in charge have been evacuated, and the calls to the Public Security Bureau are being bombarded every day, but what is left in the Public Security Bureau are just embroidered straw bags, and no one will call out the police at all, and no one will take care of them at all.
So these little gangsters quickly got together spontaneously and started robbing houses. But at that time, they thought that the storm would pass sooner or later, and they did not dare to act too harshly.
Until two or three days ago, Lao Ba was still a minion under Brother Liu. Several people occupied a residential building in the community and levied protection fees from the residential building.
There was a man with a strong build and a ferocious look, who led a large number of subordinates and directly took over the community, including the residential building where Brother Liu was located.
The man called himself Huzi, and everyone called him Brother Hu.
The first thing Brother Hu did when he took over the community was to set a challenge for everyone. He has guns, crossbows, and various police weapons. The key is that he is very ruthless.
Anyone who didn't obey him would be beaten to death on the spot.
Brother Hu listened to a radio broadcast for everyone under his command, telling everyone that the world has completely changed, the government has lost its role, and no one will care about them. What they have to do now is to expose their true nature unscrupulously and take over the city.
And just like that, Brother Liu became Brother Tiger's younger brother.
Brother Hu's first step is to control all the supermarkets in the city and not let any of them go. He wants to have the supplies firmly in his hands.
This gas station is far away from the city, so it is also the last place where Brother Hu and the others came.
In the middle of the night last night, the snow had stopped. As soon as the snow stopped, Brother Hu immediately called people to the gas station regardless of whether everyone was still sleeping. He searched all the residents near the gas station. After the search, he took them all to the base camp set up by Brother Hu in the city to do the work. Centralized management.
Brother Liu was the one he sent to look after the gas station and supermarket. Just in case, Brother Hu even left a crossbow for him for defense.
Unexpectedly, they only stayed in this supermarket for one night, and the next day Gu Zhuo killed only Lao Ba.
After Lao Ba told him everything he knew, he continued to beg Gu Zhuo for mercy:
"Brother, brother, I've told you everything I know, please let me go, please..."
Gu Zhuo spat at him:
"Don't move! Let me ask you, do you know the origin of Brother Tiger and how much firepower he has!"
"Brother Tiger, I heard from Brother Liu, seems to be a death row prisoner. He has been in jail. This time, because of the apocalypse, the order was completely chaotic. He used some unknown method to escape from the prison and robbed everything. He joined the police station, he is a hard character! As for how much firepower he has, brother, I really don’t know this, and I don’t deserve to know..."
Seeing that Lao Ba didn't look like he was lying, Gu Zhuo pondered for a moment and quickly compiled the information he had just collected in his mind.
"Hero, hero, I've said everything I know. Let me go. Please, I really know I was wrong. I just want to save my life..."
"Long-winded!"
Gu Zhuo heard this impatiently, so he pulled out the laser sword from his waist, raised the sword with his hand, and killed Lao Ba.
The cooled corpses of Lao Ba and Lao Liu lay together, and a bloody flower bloomed on the snow.
Gu Zhuo let go of Lao Ba's body, stood up, walked to Brother Liu's body, took the crossbow in his hand, and took out a few more crossbow arrows from his body.
Chaoying pulled out the saber that had been thrust into Brother Liu's neck. She used a lot of force when she stabbed it, so it took a lot of effort to pull it out now.
The two of them finished up the three corpses and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were dead.
"The information is almost collected. I think Brother Tiger will come back sooner or later. He can't keep these three people here forever. We have to act quickly."
Gu Zhuo put away the crossbow arrows and crossbow, walked to the pillar again, and picked up the crossbow arrow that Brother Liu had just fired. He didn't want to waste these weapons at all.
Chaoying followed him, as if waiting for his plan.
Gu Zhuo glanced at her and said:
"Let's go back to the Fortress of Doom first."
Chao Ying nodded, so the two of them walked back to the Doomsday Fortress one after another.
