"Beast! Come here! Come here!"
Using all his strength, Xu Renjie forcefully threw the debris in his hand, intending to attract the attention of the "Frenzy" to stop its forward momentum and save Wang Zhongyu from peril.
But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. The "Frenzy," which had been entirely attracted by Wang Zhongyu’s shouting, would not easily change direction.
Thus, Xu Renjie could only watch helplessly as the charging Black Shadow approached its target.
However, just as the "Frenzy" was about to succeed in its attack, when everyone believed Wang Zhongyu was "destined to fall," a figure suddenly intervened, resolute in its belief to perish together with the "Frenzy," and crashed onto the cold ground.
Wang Zhongyu clearly felt the gust of wind brush past him; if not for the abrupt change, in just a few more seconds, he would have been pinned to the ground.
Hua Biao firmly held the frenzied "Frenzy," and due to inertia, they rolled several meters on the ground before finally stopping.
At this moment, Hua Biao felt as if his innards were about to burst, with his entire body aching incessantly from the successive impacts.
But while he was in such pain, the "Frenzy" seemed unfazed and got up once more.
One step! Two steps! It steadily closed in on Hua Biao’s position, and if unlucky enough to be trampled by this beast, Hua Biao’s internal organs could be in jeopardy.
In such a dire situation, Xu Renjie focused intently on the "Frenzy" not far away, secretly making a resolute decision. His right hand swiftly touched his waist, and a black painted Type 92 semi-automatic pistol appeared in his palm.
Pulled the slide, fired, and the well-practiced actions required no adjustments. Xu Renjie casually flicked, and the gun’s sight was precisely aimed at the "Frenzy’s" chest.
If shooting the head doesn’t kill you, let’s try the heart!
This was an act of desperation, a do-or-die fight.
Because Xu Renjie knew very well what consequences firing a gun in this place would bring. But considering the current situation, the commotion they had already caused was significant enough, so a few more gunshots wouldn’t matter too much.
Moreover, even if the gunshot couldn’t directly kill the "Frenzy," attracting its attention wouldn’t be a wasted effort.
Bang! The sound of the gunshot cracked like a bursting bean, and the high-speed bullet shot out like an arrow from a bow.
With the sound of the gunshot, the "Frenzy" noticeably paused, seemingly trying to ascertain the direction of the gunfire.
Nonetheless, no matter how quick its reaction, it couldn’t rival the velocity of the speeding bullet.
Whoosh! The high-speed rotating bullet easily pierced through the "Frenzy’s" chest, and a thumb-sized bullet hole appeared accordingly.
Instantly, black blood, like a trickling stream, mixed with an unknown slime, began to flow slowly.
For a regular person, being hit squarely in the heart with such precise accuracy and still standing would already be a miracle.
But the "Frenzy" simply stood there indifferently, and its arms actually made a skyward "stretch" gesture.
Seizing the moment when the "Frenzy" went berserk, Lei Tong quietly sneaked over and then dragged the injured Hua Xin out with his palm.
Once Hua Xin was pulled out, the entire battleground fell into a brief silence.
Moments later, the "Frenzy," having finished its outburst, started moving again, its legs, as if powered by motors, sprinted toward the source of the gunfire.
Seeing Hua Biao escape danger, Xu Renjie finally relaxed his held breath.
Having now grasped the characteristics of the "Frenzy," he planned to take a risk and test it to verify whether Wang Zhongyu’s hypothesis was correct.
With a curled palm, Xu Renjie struck fiercely against the wall beside him, maintaining his stance. He intentionally lured the "Frenzy" in his direction.
As expected, under his deliberate guidance, the "Frenzy’s" direction became more accurate, and its speed gradually increased without realizing it.
Watching as it approached dangerously close, Xu Renjie surprisingly did not dodge or evade but stepped forward to counter.
Leader!
Captain Xu!
The simultaneous exclamations of surprise, both from the soldiers and Wang Zhongyu, were startled by Xu Renjie’s abrupt move to "face death."
However, Xu Renjie seemed to be very clear about what he was doing, and while running, he didn’t forget to "warn" his soldiers: "Stay where you are! I won’t be in trouble!"
Still, despite his words, Xu Renjie himself had no absolute certainty about the final outcome.
So, needless to say, his actions at the moment were indeed a life-or-death gamble.
If successful, it would confirm Wang Zhongyu’s theory, enabling them to adopt measures to counter the enemy.
But if unfortunate enough to fail, he might permanently bid farewell to this world.
Time seemed to halt at this moment, everyone was holding their breath, focusing on the scene before them.
It was akin to watching a Hollywood action blockbuster, usually viewed in theaters or at home, but now it was... a real live broadcast.
Influenced by adrenaline, Xu Renjie’s senses adjusted to their optimal state. Unlike ordinary people, a professional soldier, when under life-threatening pressure, would naturally unleash his potential.
Undoubtedly, Xu Renjie was an outstanding example of this; his rigorous daily training was precisely prepared for this perilous moment.
The contact between both sides took less than 10 seconds, but long before this, Xu Renjie had already anticipated the "Frenzy’s" next move.
Extend arms! This was the attack pattern of the "Frenzy" 5 minutes prior. Connecting Wang Zhongyu’s previous words, Xu Renjie believed the beast would certainly use this move again.
Thus...
Suddenly arching backward, the off-balance Xu Renjie naturally fell to the ground.
As he landed, the charging "Frenzy" indeed spread its arms just as he anticipated.
But unfortunately, the "Frenzy’s" duplicated attack this time was destined to fail, because the sliding Xu Renjie, driven by inertia, was already gliding across the smooth surface.
Just narrowly passing the "Frenzy’s" right arm, Xu Renjie safely slid to a position 2 meters behind the "Frenzy."
Success! Xu Renjie felt a burst of joy in his heart.
Nevertheless, even so, he hadn’t forgotten he was still in the midst of battle.
Thus, he had to seize this rare opportunity, delivering a fatal blow to the "Frenzy" while it was unsteady!
Undoubtedly, to completely eliminate this beast, there seemed to be no proven effective method at the moment.
Therefore, since that was the case, the only option was to retreat and convert the ultimate goal of killing the enemy into forcing it to lose its combat ability.
And to achieve this, the only way was...
His eyes slightly moved downward, and Xu Renjie fixed his gaze and knife on the "Frenzy’s" muscular legs... (A pie in the sky activity, cool mobile phones waiting for you!
