Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System-Chapter 420 - 176: Going Up the Mountain to Suppress Bandits!
"Now, do you all understand?"
Five minutes later, after explaining his plan and all precautions, Zhang Beixing looked at the group again to make sure.
"Understood, Great Grandmaster Zhang, no worries!"
Everyone nodded in response, their expressions each more excited than the last, their blood boiling as if they were teenagers once more.
"That’s good. Next, follow the plan exactly. You wait here; someone will come to meet you soon, and then just follow their instructions."
"I have a different operation to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first!"
Zhang Beixing said this and then turned around. He followed the four plainclothes armed police, who had received a call from Inspector Bai, got into the car, and left the area.
He was now off to the mountain to eliminate bandits!
"Damn it, getting shot in Shishi wasn’t enough for them; they followed me to Yingtian Prefecture to shoot me a second time!"
"Fine! Since you’re so persistent, I’ll give you this chance today. I want to see, on the mountain, whether your guns are faster or my fists are!"
Looking at the distant mountains, Zhang Beixing pulled out his ’grudge notebook.’ On it, besides names like Black Ghost, was the entry: "2018.10.20, shot." He touched his wounded shoulder, his face filled with murderous intent.
Seeing his demeanor, the plainclothes armed policeman driving the car felt his mouth twitch; he clearly hadn’t expected Zhang Beixing to hold such a grudge. Damn, he even noted it down in a book! But on second thought, considering it’s a matter of life and death, harboring a grudge seems reasonable.
"But Mr. Zhang, are you sure you want to go up there alone, using yourself as bait to lure the enemy out, while we wait by the side to ambush and encircle them?" the plainclothes armed policeman recalled the instructions he had heard over the phone and couldn’t help but ask.
"Yes, Inspector Bai should have made it very clear, hasn’t he? Is there still a problem?" Zhang Beixing countered.
The plainclothes armed policeman hesitated. "Problem... maybe. Although your idea of using yourself as bait to lure the enemy sounds like it might work and speed up our case-solving process, easing this huge threat to the public, isn’t it a bit too risky, too aggressive?"
"After all, they’ve managed to make their own sniper rifles. It’s hard to guarantee they don’t have other firearms. I know you are strong, but..."
The plainclothes policeman hadn’t finished speaking, but his point was clear. Zhang Beixing was still just a human. As a human, no matter how formidable one might be, it was all futile in the face of firearms. Never mind being hit in a vital part; a shot anywhere on the body could instantly incapacitate a person. Zhang Beixing had just been shot; he couldn’t be unaware of this. Though he was fast and had keen senses, his body was still vulnerable.
"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!" Zhang Beixing tucked the ’grudge notebook’ back into his chest and responded. The issues the plainclothes armed policeman had considered, he had naturally thought about too. And it was not just thoughts—he was well-prepared to cope with them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come here to undertake such a dangerous mission.
"This... still seems a bit risky. How about you wear a bulletproof vest? I’ll give you mine," the plainclothes armed policeman said, starting to take off his inner bulletproof vest.
Zhang Beixing repeatedly waved his hands in refusal. "No need, you wear it. Wearing that thing will make me too conspicuous; they’ll spot the issue straight away, and I might not be able to lure them out then."
"Although this is just a probe, it would still be better if we could catch them directly!"
"This... alright then!" Hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, the plainclothes armed policeman looked at his resolute expression and ultimately swallowed his words.
Afterward, to be on the safe side, they discussed the specific arrangements for later.
The car arrived at the foot of the mountain amidst the conversation of the five men.
Getting out of the car, they executed the plan in staggered groups. The plainclothes armed police were hidden far away from Zhang Beixing, using the terrain and vegetation of the mountain forest as cover, following Zhang Beixing by tracking his signal. As soon as the criminal was lured out by Zhang Beixing, they would rush to support and capture or kill.
Zhang Beixing’s job was to act as the bait, continuously making noise to attract the criminal’s attention.
Although this method seemed less like luring the snake out of its hole and more like openly taunting them—so much so that it was obviously a trap—it had to be said: this tactic was truly infuriating. It was like playing a game where you control an 11/0 top laner, and you see the enemy’s 0-8 AD carry standing in front of you, mockingly twitching at you. How could you possibly bear it?
Thus, the criminal hiding in the mountains made a move!
SWOOSH—
The sound of rustling leaves echoed through the mountains. Because of the wind, it was initially hard to tell whether the noise was from the wind or from someone passing by.
Zhang Beixing walked boldly through the dense forest, unafraid. His steps on the dry leaves created a crisp crunching sound.
Despite Zhang Beixing’s carefree and fearless appearance, in reality, as soon as he stepped into the woods, his alertness was at its peak, not relaxed for a moment! Although in Shishi, he had narrowly avoided a shot by relying on his "Not a Feather Added, A Fly Would Not Land" crisis detection ability.
