Chapter 429 Chapter 426 Procrastination
As a mercenary, especially a qualified mercenary, what should be the first thing to do when encountering an opponent at the manager level of the company's business development department?
Zhuang Xuteng's answer is: beg for mercy while sending a message for help.
Nightingale and Rock Sparrow received the vibration code sent by Zhuang Xuteng at the same time, and Lucy received it three seconds later. Just when Lucy was worried and didn't know how to deal with it, Ge Gongdao received a message from Rock Sparrow. Without saying a word, he put aside the matter of the Moat Security Company, jumped on his big black motorcycle, and rushed into the city's traffic in the gradually increasing wind and snow.
He was anxious... He didn't know how a job of rescuing foreign aid could provoke the company's strongmen. He only knew that if it were him, he would make the same choice as Nike, that is, go to the parking lot to Labmore. Similarly, if he got into trouble, Nike would put down everything at hand to save him. The only difference was the means of transportation: Nike would drive an armored vehicle over, which would be more stylish.
"Hmph, hmph..." Zhuang Xuteng sniffed twice, but didn't have time to wipe it. One of his hands was injured, and the other hand was tying an emergency hemostatic bandage to the wound. Just now, he just let "Blue Suit" Kaho suffer a loss, and he was far from defeating him. This fight will continue, and he must always be in the best condition.
The medicine on the hemostatic bandage can temporarily close the wound. The injection medicine built into the neck has been used for a round, and the nutrients in it can speed up healing. However, Zhuang Xuteng placed his hope of recovering his physical condition on his opponent. The dormant martial arts plus the ghost tentacles, whether it was the side effects of the implant or the fatigue and weakening of the body, were continuously transferred to Kaho by Zhuang Xuteng.
This was originally a shameless tactic exclusive to the necromancer, using flesh and blood puppets to bear the damage and risks; Zhuang Xuteng took it a step further and used the enemy to bear the damage.
As the high-oxygen and high-nutrient drugs spread in the blood vessels, Zhuang Xuteng regained his spirit and walked straight towards Kaho. As he walked, he looked for the armor-breaking hammer that was knocked away by the previous attack. That was the most important weapon in his hand. Get it back sooner, sooner...
Unfortunately, Kaho obviously didn't want to give him this opportunity. He pulled himself out of the sunken wreckage of the vehicle, turned his head and looked at Zhuang Xuteng fiercely, his hands clenched into fists. "You bastard, you actually hurt me..."
"Sorry, I didn't want to do this either." Zhuang Xuteng was telling the truth. He wanted to use the armor-breaking hammer to smash Kaho's head while he was in high burst, but unfortunately his hand speed was not fast enough and he didn't have time to put the hammer in the right position. But at least it didn't miss. The lower part of Kaho's right chest was smashed by the hammer, and the impact also caused a tearing effect, pulling off a whole piece of skin.
Careful observation shows that the torn and hanging skin is not human skin, but an armor protection implant. Not only blood flowed out of the wound, but also a light green jelly-like substance. Zhuang Xuteng heard someone introduce that it was a wound gel that could temporarily seal and disinfect. But the effect of the armor-breaking hammer was too good, and it smashed a comminuted wound. The gel secreted from the wound surface by the skin failed to stick to each other, so the wound was exposed, and even a finger-long broken rib was exposed.
"Don't want this? Don't want this?!" Kaho pointed at his wound and gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what this means?"
Zhuang Xuteng sighed, his face full of sadness, and his whole face looked resigned, even slowing down his pace. He shook his head and said, "If I touch an important person in the company, I'm dead. I once met an employee of the company who was in trouble. I thought I could save him and make a fortune by the way, but he just made a phone call, and a group of people came in a short while. Their name was probably the emergency rescue team. Those people, each one is stronger than me."
Pinching his waist with one hand and pointing at Kaho's chest with the other hand, Zhuang Xuteng squeezed out a miserable smile. "I was lucky enough to injure you, which exceeded my expectations. My training was not in vain. But I can already feel the side effects of the implant accumulating, and you can call a group of people to besiege me at any time. In terms of the result, I'm done."
"You are right!" Kaho was affected by Zhuang Xuteng's "sincere last words". He was not as angry as before, which made his thoughts keep popping up.
According to the power assigned to him by the company, he can call two senior managers from the business development department at any time, mobilize the emergency medical (defense) team to the designated location, command a comprehensive action team of no more than 50 people and four helicopters, and ask the company to provide information network services and intelligence espionage attacks. In an emergency, he can directly find the boss of the Peicheng branch of Dingxin Group and indirectly ask the constitutional government to send the army, the riot control team and the PCPD to cooperate with him.
There is no need for the army, the riot control team and the PCPD to come. At present, this matter can definitely be resolved within the company, and there is no need to embarrass himself outside. Yes, Kaho felt very embarrassed that he was injured by a local mercenary. The wound is still quite large, the gel cannot work, and the broken bone is exposed. If his subordinates in the business development department see him like this, his prestige will definitely be hit.
He has just been transferred to Peicheng, and the three fires of a new official have not yet been ignited, but he has already brought trouble upon himself? Especially, his visit to Camby James's manor was just a private matter of reminiscing with old friends. For some private reasons, he did not bring a driver and secretary, but only reported to the company. It is a bit sensitive to have an accident at this time. Besides, it is better to have less trouble than more.
Kaho narrowed his eyes and started to make calculations. The wound on his chest was embarrassing, but not fatal, and had limited impact on his strength. After getting rid of the little jerk on the opposite side, he returned to the Peicheng branch and went to the maintenance room to deal with it himself, so that this matter would not spread. The most strict-mouthed people in the company are those in the maintenance room, especially those related to implant maintenance, body care and treatment. They will not say a word, let alone tell people of lower levels.
It doesn't matter if the higher-ups know about it. He can only show off to his subordinates, and he has to be respectful and honest to the higher-ups. Thinking of this, Kaho made up his mind and chose not to send an emergency request for reinforcements to the headquarters.
"I understand now that you are a very realistic person. I didn't want to fight before because I knew the company's methods long ago." Kaho took out the Shadow Gun from his pocket. It was a golden double ring with blue and purple hooks on it, which was quite beautiful. He aimed his gun at Zhuang Xuteng and said, "I'll give you the happiest ending."
With one shot, two ghost energy bullets flew towards Zhuang Xuteng at the same time. One was black and the other was white, shaped like a skull, and made a ferocious whistling sound when flying. One shot fired twice, which was unexpected. Zhuang Xuteng reacted two beats slower than usual. He tried to twist his body and could only completely avoid one.
Fortunately, he blocked the other with his arm shield and wrist guard and deflected it. It doesn't matter if the arm is slightly numb. With the help of the opponent, it will recover soon. Zhuang Xuteng did not die under the two ghost energy bullets, which was obviously a bit beyond Kaho's expectations. Zhuang Xuteng also acted surprised, looked down at his hands, and said, "Eh? I was able to dodge it? When did I become so powerful?"
"Nonsense! You..." Kaho couldn't find a suitable adjective for a while, and expressed his anger directly with action. He strode forward while firing, and the ghost energy bullets were in groups of two, two, and eight were divided into four groups and rushed towards Zhuang Xuteng one by one.
Faced with so many ghost energy bombs, Zhuang Xuteng had to show his best condition if he wanted to survive. He knew very well that he couldn't fool around forever, and his attempt to delay time had reached its limit. So he put away his smile, pulled back all his energy, including the dormant martial arts, focused on the seven flash martial arts, and began his ghostly dodge.
The ghost energy bomb can lock and track. Zhuang Xuteng pulled this lock to one side, and then accelerated or moved in the opposite direction at the last moment, instantly pulling the turning limit of the ghost energy bomb.
One, two, three... Zhuang Xuteng to the right, to the right, down, to the right, to the left... Although his absolute movement speed was not as good as Kaho, and his instantaneous acceleration was far behind, he could always seize the most appropriate time to act. Kaho narrowed his eyes. He had begun to feel something was wrong, and then doubted the other party's previous statement: bullshit is dead, bullshit give up everything, it's all a lie! Isn't he still fighting?
Indeed, Zhuang Xuteng is still fighting. His absolute strength, defense, speed and acceleration are not as good as Kaho's, but when facing the Shadow Gun, he only needs to be faster than the Ghost Energy Bullet. After seven consecutive dodges, plus a collision of energy bullets caused by a bone spear technique, Zhuang Xuteng completed the dodge and at the same time, he was only three steps away from Kaho. This means that a new battle round has begun.
Kaho raised his hand and touched his earlobe. He felt that something was wrong and decided to follow the company's system to call for backup. At the same time, the voice of Rock Sparrow came from Zhuang Xuteng's communication channel. She was reporting the latest work progress, including that Dao Ge was on the way, and the surrounding communications were temporarily suppressed.
"The company often uses frequency hopping to break through the communication blockade. I need to keep following the changes and actually compete in calculation speed. Chasing frequency hopping is a disadvantage. I can't guarantee that I can always block the communication. Captain, your time is limited." Rock Sparrow called in the encrypted channel: "Captain? Captain? Can you reply?"
In order to have the best hearing sense in the battle, Zhuang Xuteng took off his headphones after sending out a call for help and devoted all his energy to the battle. He left his original position, and his main hearing was focused on Kaho, so he couldn't hear the sound in the headset. However, Zhuang Xuteng believed that his team members would be able to do their job well. No matter Nightingale, Rock Sparrow or Gogongdao, he faced Kaho alone, but he was not fighting alone.
Kaho's headset was full of noise, and occasionally a sentence "Frequency hopping" popped up. He calmed down, lowered his face, lowered his hands, pulled out two daggers from the back of his belt, and crossed them across his chest. One dagger flashed white electricity, and the other hummed and vibrated from time to time, like an intermittent electric saw.
Neither of them spoke, and they fought directly into a group. Kaho was powerful and heavy, his movements were fierce and swift, and his physical attacks were invincible wherever they went. On the other hand, Zhuang Xuteng's movements were like water flow, completely suppressed, and at the same time he could always flow from high pressure to low pressure, passing through the edge of danger. This "outside" is about a centimeter away. Apart from being stung by static electricity for a few times and feeling a little pain for a while, Zhuang Xuteng was completely unharmed.
Kaho had never seen such a "slippery" opponent. Yes, not cunning or vicious, but slippery. He kept changing his attack techniques, from the company's "system-assisted attack" to the "close combat" used in the army, from the "entanglement" used by mixed boxers to the "simple physical skills" used in higher training schools... No matter how he changed or how he used them, they were all resolved by Zhuang Xuteng one by one.
So annoying, so annoying, so annoying!
Kaho became more and more irritated as he fought, and his attacks became more and more fierce and unreserved. At first, he used 60% of his strength and kept 40%; just now, he reached 82%; now, he has used 90% of his strength, leaving only 10% or even no backup. This will undoubtedly make the speed faster and the power stronger, and it also exceeds the reaction limit of Qishan. Zhuang Xuteng blocked left and right, and immediately appeared flustered. After a while, he left many knife marks on his clothes in front of him and on his arms.
"Armored jacket, armored interlayer, armored lining... you fucking..." Kaho was speechless. The normal people he had seen at least knew that offense and defense should be balanced. The guy opposite only brought a shadow gun and a hard hammer, and the rest were all protective gear? This guy's martial arts are also all defense and entanglement. What kind of shit is this? Is he the most flexible live target in the world?
Zhuang Xuteng had no words to say. The Seven Flashes martial arts had been used to the limit in his hands. The dormant martial arts also constantly transferred the side effects of the implant and his own fatigue to the opponent, allowing him to keep in the best condition, but this was not enough to prevent the opponent from creating and accumulating advantages. He had begun to be unable to defend or dodge, and could only use protective gear to absorb damage. This was like a flood, the height had exceeded the levee, and now it was all blocked by sandbags formed by protective gear. Temporary protection will soon reach its limit. Once the levee overflows, the levee will collapse and people will die.
What else? What else? Combat stimulant injection! All military rations and blood oxygenation injection! The implant is running at maximum power, the shadow energy is gathered, and the double bone spear is ready! Zhuang Xuteng needs an opportunity, a flaw, even an opportunity to fight to the death.
He was worried that the double bone spear could not penetrate the company's advanced armor protection suit, so it was best to aim at the wound on his head or chest. Zhuang Xuteng fought with all his strength, blocking left and right, and step by step opened Kaho's posture, looking for... now!
Zhuang Xuteng saw an opportunity, gathered and squeezed his shoulders towards the center, clasped his hands together, and extended his index and middle fingers. The shadow energy gathered at his fingertips, and the strongest bone spear technique was ready to go! Suddenly, Kaho turned 10 degrees to the side, hiding his wound to the side and back, preparing to use the armored suit to block the shadow shooting this time. At the same time, the two daggers began to cross and press down from the top of the head, as if to use an "X" to kill Zhuang Xuteng directly.
Zhuang Xuteng's mouth corners slightly raised, his arms bent upwards, and the finger gun slid across Kaho's chest and pointed directly at his lower jaw. At the same time, Zhuang Xuteng retreated with one foot, squatted with the other leg, and made a similar forward leg press. Move the body down as a whole, so that you can avoid the "X" cross pressure.
The muzzle of the finger gun is facing Kaho's head.
"Bone Spear Technique!"
