Chapter 305 -301: Wan Xiaozhou Shot
Fang Xiaocao and her two companions followed the passage around more than a dozen turns, walking nearly 200 meters down a steep incline before it gradually leveled out, losing the significant slope it had before.
Fang Xiaocao silently speculated that their current position should have reached the vicinity of the Man-eating Rat Nest, or at the very least, they were near the same passage.
After another few dozen meters, Hummingbird, who was scouting ahead, suddenly stopped in his tracks and raised a hand, signaling his companions to halt with a stop gesture.
Seeing Hummingbird’s sign, Wan Xiaozhou and Fang Xiaocao immediately stopped moving and fell silent, increasing their alertness and preparing for combat.
Hummingbird slowly crouched down and beckoned to Fang Xiaocao and Wan Xiaozhou, gesturing for them to come over. Fang Xiaocao was taken aback, her expression puzzled.
Fang Xiaocao used the Silent Steps Hummingbird had taught her to noiselessly approach his side and inquired with her eyes about what had happened.
Hummingbird pointed toward the tunnel ahead, signaling Fang Xiaocao to see for herself. Still confused, she peered forward.
Not far ahead, two men were smoking. Beside them, a cart stood still with a mutilated corpse lying on it.
At this sight, Fang Xiaocao frowned slightly.
At the same time, a question was answered.
From the beginning, Fang Xiaocao had been wondering.
Why were there five bowls and chairs for three men drinking? Now the case was solved.
The other two sets of bowls and chairs were prepared for these two men. Fang Xiaocao was also curious,
why had so much time passed, yet these two men had not returned and were instead smoking here?
The number of cigarette butts at their feet indicated they had been here for some time.
Could it be that they were…?
Engaging in love talk?
But…

Could there really be people grotesque enough to romance each other next to a mangled dead body?
Obviously…
This deduction wasn’t reliable!
So unreliable it would fly away.
What then was keeping them stationed here with a corpse?
Fang Xiaocao knit her brows at the thought.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Fang Xiaocao’s mind.
She considered a possibility!
“Hummingbird, Xiaozhou, kill them quickly!”
Fang Xiaocao whispered commands to the two of them.
Hummingbird and Wan Xiaozhou exchanged glances, nodding simultaneously, took off their backpacks, and like two swift cheetahs charged toward the two men.
Fang Xiaocao re-sheathed her Dagger and drew her gun instead.
She watched her back, vigilant.
Fang Xiaocao thought of a reason why the two men hadn’t returned: they found the Man-eating Rat Nest burned down and reported to the Pawnshop’s direct leadership, who ordered them to wait where they were while continuing to report up the chain.
If this assumption was correct, the Pawnshop’s people might have already arrived.
In other words, their whereabouts were now exposed.
The Pawnshop’s people knew.
Someone had killed their men and run away!
The Assassin coming after them might appear from behind at any moment.
This was also why Fang Xiaocao so urgently ordered Hummingbird and Wan Xiaozhou to quickly deal with the two men, she didn’t want to be surrounded and trapped like a dumpling.
Just as Hummingbird and Wan Xiaozhou dashed out,
the two men simultaneously pressed their earpieces.
Immediately after, their expressions turned grave.
One of the men looked towards the direction of the tunnel.
And just so happened to see Hummingbird and Wan Xiaozhou bursting out from the side, their presence overwhelming.
“Watch out!”
The man instinctively shouted.
One hand reached inside his jacket.
The other man reacted incredibly fast.
He swiftly dropped the cigarette and with a backward kick swung his sturdy long leg with a whistling force, performing a scorpion-tail motion circling behind him.
This kick was not to harm the enemy.
But to force back anyone sneaking up from behind.
Meanwhile, he bought time for himself and his companion to counterattack.
Of course, at this time, Hummingbird and Wan Xiaozhou had not yet charged close to the two men, but the man wasn’t wasting his efforts. He used the momentum from the kick to complete his turn.
“Bang bang bang…”
The two men demonstrated well-trained skills, not only reacting incredibly fast but also moving with great speed.
By now, the man who first spotted Hummingbird and her partner had swiftly drawn the gun from his embrace, simultaneously completing the loading, safety disengagement, and firing in one fluent sequence of actions.
The muffled gunshots sounded like the drums of a death knell.
The man didn’t bother aiming. The instant he raised his gun, he emptied the magazine without hesitation.
The scorching bullets stormed out.
Unrelentingly heading straight for Hummingbird and Wan Xiaozhou.
But Hummingbird and Wan Xiaozhou were not pushovers.
Both were well-trained assassins.
And both were First-Class Assassins.
Although catching bullets with bare hands was far-fetched,
they managed to dodge the bullets and prepare a counterattack.
Almost at the same moment the man drew his gun,
Hummingbird and Wan Xiaozhou simultaneously threw the daggers they clenched in their hands and made their evasive moves.
But there were too many bullets and the corridor was too narrow.
The net of fire from the eight bullets, in the confined space of the corridor, was too dense.
They still got injured.
Wan Xiaozhou’s arm took a bullet.
Her left arm instantly became immobilized.
Limping powerlessly by her side, her clothes quickly soaked in blood which dripped to the ground through her sleeve.
Wan Xiaozhou groaned in pain,
her pale face turning ashen white as paper within an instant, large beads of sweat rolling down her sleek hair and dripping from her cheeks.
Wan Xiaozhou’s knees buckled, and she sat kneeling on the ground.
But with her good hand, she still managed to draw her gun from her waist at the fastest speed and loaded it with one hand.
Although Hummingbird wasn’t shot, her arm and thigh were grazed by bullets whizzing past, leaving behind two bloody trails.
A minor injury, Hummingbird didn’t even spare it a glance.
She performed a tactical roll and pounced towards the two men,
while simultaneously drawing the katana strapped to her body.
The two daggers thrown by them had now reached the two men, the shooter, because of firing, didn’t have time to dodge, and a dagger pierced through his gun-hand, the gun dropping from his grasp.
The other dagger was kicked away.
At the same time, a dark gun muzzle pointed at Hummingbird who was lunging forward.
Seeing the gaping barrel, Hummingbird was horrified.
“My life is over…”
Hummingbird silently exclaimed in her heart.
The man raised his gun, aiming at Hummingbird.
A grim smile appeared on his face.
“You’re dead!”
The man’s lips moved, and he spat out three words.
The next second!
A gunshot “bang” echoed.
A “thud”, and a body fell.
The man lying flat on his back on the ground had a fierce bullet hole in his forehead.
It was the mark left by a bullet passing through!
It was a headshot!
This was Wan Xiaozhou’s handiwork!
“Phew…”
Seeing this, Hummingbird let out a sigh of relief.
