Zhou Ziwei was prepared to step into the ten-meter range, even if it meant getting injured. As long as those people didn't kill him with a single shot, any injury would be insignificant thanks to his almost superhuman healing abilities.
Ten meters... Once you get into the ten-meter mark, it's paradise, and he can have the last laugh.
If Zhou Ziwei cannot get within ten meters of those bandits, then it will be a terrible hell for him!
Zhou Ziwei had originally considered trying out his new technique, "Soul Roar," which he had learned from the memories of those ghost bats' souls, on these scumbags. However, the version of this technique he had found in the memories of those ghost bats was not very complete, and he had never had the opportunity to practice it. He didn't know if he could really unleash the power of this technique now.
After all, the destructive power of this soul roar is too terrifying. If it is not used properly, it may harm innocent people. Moreover, the power of this soul roar can only be tested on living beings. He can't possibly test it on a street full of living people! And if he only experiments on small insects and mice, he probably won't be able to test its true power. Therefore, Zhou Ziwei has been putting it off until now without having the opportunity to study it.
The most critical issue is that the bandits and Liu Xiaofei are currently in the same direction. Before Zhou Ziwei has fully mastered the power of this soul roar, he naturally dares not try it recklessly. Otherwise, if the experiment fails, it will be fine, at most he will just waste some soul power. But if the power of the experiment is too strong... even Liu Xiaofei will be shaken to the point of soul scattering by his roar, that would be terrible!
The moment Zhou Ziwei stepped out of the taxi, he quickly channeled some of his soul power into his eyes, instantly increasing his eyesight by about six times.
In this way, if the other party were to actually shoot at him, he could accurately detect the trajectory of the bullet with his superhuman eye sensitivity.
At the same time, he also injected about three times more soul power into the nervous system of his legs than usual.
In this way, when a bullet flies towards him, he can not only catch the trajectory of the bullet with his eyes, but also dodge the bullet with a reaction speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Otherwise, if you can see it but can't avoid it, it's all in vain.
As for why Zhou Ziwei did not increase the reaction speed of his legs by six times, it is because while the reaction speed of his legs is increased, the sensitivity of his skin and his sense of pain are not only amplified by six times, but may be sixty times or even one hundred times.
In that case, the friction between his feet and shoes, as well as the recoil from the ground, would probably make Zhou Ziwei suffer excruciating pain and feel like he was dying with pain with every step he took!
Zhou Ziwei couldn't understand why the sensation of touch on the skin was amplified so much, but it was a fact. If the feeling of pain and itching hadn't been amplified so much, he wouldn't have screamed so intensely over a little friction between his clothes and skin in the car last time, scaring Liu Xiaofei so much that she almost drove the car off a cliff.
Zhou Ziwei had already tried it before, and the sensitivity of his legs increased by about three times. Although the itchy feeling on the soles of his feet was very uncomfortable when he walked fast, he could still barely bear it. That's why he finally increased the reaction speed of his legs to three times the usual speed.
Of course, at this moment, the ladybug lurking in the warehouse was also intently watching the heads of the six bandits, its eyes never blinking as it monitored their every move.
In this way, Zhou Ziwei can know immediately if there is any movement inside, which is equivalent to having double insurance.
"Damn, this kid's got guts!"
Seeing that Zhou Ziwei knew he was doomed to die by walking right into their trap, the fanged dragon couldn't help but feel a bit more respect for him.
However, his hatred for Zhou Ziwei would not lessen in the slightest. He gritted his teeth and waved to Xiao Liu, saying, "Break off one of his arms first! Hmm... let's start with his right arm! I heard this kid is a great shot. Although the intelligence says he doesn't have a gun, we can't be careless. What if he's hiding a plastic pistol or something... If he gets close, we'll be raising a tiger to cause trouble!"
“No problem… a right arm, right? I guarantee I’ll break his bones with one shot… hehe… you bastard, I’ll just collect some interest first…” Xiao Liuzi said, then immediately raised his gun, aimed at Zhou Ziwei’s right arm, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Zhou Ziwei, through the ladybug's eyes and ears, could hear their conversation clearly, but he made no move to dodge and continued to walk forward steadily, as if he were completely unaware of anything.
Before the gunshot rang out, Zhou Ziwei's sharp eyes had already spotted a glimmer of light coming from a hole in the warehouse wall about 25 meters away. Then, a bright yellow bullet, trailing a gust of air from its rapid friction with the air, flew swiftly toward his left elbow.
Just as Zhou Ziwei had predicted, after his eyesight and reaction speed increased sixfold, the bullets fired from this ordinary pistol seemed to be in slow motion under his gaze. At a distance of more than 20 meters, he was 100% confident that he could dodge them.
However, Zhou Ziwei did not want to reveal his full strength too early. Otherwise, if the other party realized something was wrong and six people fired six guns at him at the same time, even if he increased his leg reaction speed to six times, he might not be able to dodge it! If those scumbags simply dragged Liu Xiaofei out to threaten him, it would be even worse.
So Zhou Ziwei only made a quick mental assessment before his feet didn't dodge at all; his elbow just twitched slightly in the instant before the bullet hit.
"Swoosh—" The whistling bullet grazed the skin on Zhou Ziwei's elbow, tearing off his clothes and a small patch of skin from his elbow. Bright red blood immediately soaked through his sleeve and dripped onto the ground.
"Ah—" Zhou Ziwei cried out in pain, and as he paused, he immediately poured a large amount of soul power into the wound, and in the blink of an eye, the small piece of skin that had been scraped was completely repaired.
However, his entire sleeve was stained red with blood, so no one else could tell anything was wrong.
Zhou Ziwei also deliberately pretended to have a broken arm, with his lower arm swinging back and forth as if it had been dislocated...
The reason he could perform this pose so perfectly was thanks to the fact that he had practiced breakdancing for a while when he was in junior high school in his previous life.
The bandits in the warehouse across the street didn't realize that Zhou Ziwei's injuries were fake. When they saw the blood flowing from Zhou Ziwei's body, they couldn't help but reveal a cruel and excited grin. The buck-toothed dragon even stuck out its tongue and licked its lips hard, as if it wanted to pounce on Zhou Ziwei and drink all the blood in his body.
"Don't stop... Keep going! Otherwise, I'll kill your girl right now!"
Seeing Zhou Ziwei standing there looking like he was in great pain, the fanged dragon quickly stood by the window and shouted loudly outside.
Zhou Ziwei had been waiting for these words. He gritted his teeth, made a gesture as if struggling to make a firm decision, and started walking forward slowly, step by step...
The fanged dragon's eyes flashed with ferocity as it turned to Xiao Liuzi again and ordered, "Xiao Liuzi, this time I want his left arm broken too... Damn it, it's a pity I didn't bring that Desert Eagle this time, otherwise watching his hands and feet get blasted to pieces by bullets would have been fucking satisfying!"
Xiao Liu licked his lips, still savoring the experience, and said, "Yeah... this damn Type 54 pistol is really fucking lousy, it's not even as loud as a firecracker! Damn... but it's still enough to break his arms and legs... his left arm, right?"
As Xiao Liuzi spoke, he pulled the trigger again, and another shot accurately hit Zhou Ziwei's left elbow.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwei followed suit, only letting the bullet graze his skin slightly, causing some blood to flow and creating the illusion of a serious injury, before immediately treating the wound.
However, this time, because Zhou Ziwei had moved forward another four or five meters, the distance between them was shortened, and the reaction time left for Zhou Ziwei was correspondingly reduced. Therefore, although he succeeded this time, it was somewhat of a struggle.
However, this is mainly because he did not infuse his arms with soul power beforehand, thus failing to significantly improve the reaction speed of his arms.
Zhou Ziwei estimated that if he walked a few more meters forward, he would have even less time to react. However, if Zhou Ziwei's guess was correct, if the other party fired again, it would probably be aimed at his legs.
His legs had already increased his reaction speed by three times, so he should have been able to dodge it successfully even in that situation.
However... what troubled him was that the pain in his leg was amplified three times over at this moment. If he were shot, even if it was just a minor scratch, the feeling would definitely be extremely "exhilarating"!
"Keep going...don't stop..."
Seeing Zhou Ziwei's arms dangling like broken sugarcane, with blood dripping from them, the buck-toothed dragon grew increasingly excited. He waved his hand and ordered another bandit beside him, "Eighth Brother, go... bring that girl over here... haha... see her lover covered in blood for her, she'll be so moved! And that fool, seeing his lover right in front of him, will be even more of a fool! Wahahaha... it's fucking touching!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Ba quickly went over, cut the ropes binding Liu Xiaofei to the pillar, and grabbed her. He lewdly chuckled and said, "Why don't we strip this girl naked in front of that kid... and then... hehe... have sex with her right in front of him? Boss, do you think that kid will be so angry he'll die?"
Upon hearing this, the buck-toothed dragon's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Great idea! Hehe... But before we can get a turn with that girl's rice, we have to break all of this kid's limbs first. Otherwise, if this guy gets really desperate and unleashes some kind of inner power... that won't be fun! Hmm... I heard that Third Brother's bones were shattered by this kid's slap! Damn, this guy must be a trained fighter, we have to be careful. Little Six... hit his right leg first, then his left leg, let's cripple him completely first... You did a good job today, how about you get a second shot when it's time for the rice?"
"Okay..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liuzi was overjoyed, his eyes gleaming with lust. This guy was usually very lecherous, and when he caught Liu Xiaofei earlier, he was already on the verge of losing control. If it weren't for the fact that Baoyalong forbade him from doing anything reckless while he was still seeking revenge, he probably would have already turned into a beast and taken advantage of Liu Xiaofei.
Now, upon hearing that as long as Zhou Ziwei's limbs are broken first, he can follow in his boss's footsteps and launch a second attack, he immediately felt his whole body filled with power.
"Wait...something's not right...boss..." Little Six's excitement quickly turned to dejection as he said, "You forgot? That girl has a time bomb strapped to her! It'll explode in less than nine minutes. If we take turns firing, I'm afraid I, the second one in line, will be going to meet her in the afterlife!"
"Uh... I almost forgot about that if you hadn't mentioned it!" The fanged dragon slapped its head and said, "Luckily you didn't forget, otherwise, if I had lasted a little longer this time, wouldn't that have been... Damn it, in that case, let's not worry about who goes first, let's all attack together! Whoever finishes first gets to run... Hehe... If anyone lasts the longest, well, they'll just have to hold back... Wahahaha..."
"Holy crap... 6P1! This is even more exciting!"
Upon hearing what Baoyalong said, Xiao Liuzi's eyes turned blue. In his excitement, he continued talking while pulling the trigger again, shooting Zhou Ziwei in the right leg.
"ah……"
Zhou Ziwei was shot in the leg and let out an extremely miserable scream. He collapsed onto the muddy road covered in rainwater, his whole body convulsing in pain.
Just then, Liu Xiaofei was brought to the window. Upon seeing the scene before her, tears streamed down her pale face like a flood. She struggled violently, calling out Zhou Ziwei's name as she desperately lunged toward the windowsill.
Unfortunately, although she was a police officer, her strength was no match for these ruthless bandits who killed without blinking an eye. Lao Ba simply held her by the rope binding her back with one hand, and she couldn't move forward an inch.
Her mouth was also sealed with tape, so even when she screamed her lungs out, she could only make low, muffled "woo-woo" sounds.
This time, Zhou Ziwei wasn't acting. Although in reality, his leg was only slightly scratched by the bullet, the pain, amplified by about thirty times, almost made him faint.
Fortunately, he withdrew the soul power he had injected into the nerves of his legs the moment he fell; otherwise, the pain from the fall would have probably made him faint!
After more than ten seconds, the excruciating pain gradually subsided and disappeared. Zhou Ziwei slowly raised his head and estimated the distance between himself and the warehouse.
Fifteen meters... fifteen meters left!
This means that if Zhou Ziwei moves forward just five more meters, he will basically win! Five meters later... he, Zhou Ziwei, will crawl from hell into heaven!
Volume 1 The Rebirth of a Prodigy Chapter 118 A Real Man
"Stand up... and keep moving forward! Otherwise... your woman will be dead by my gun right now..."
Upon hearing Zhou Ziwei's painful cries, the fanged dragon felt as if it were hearing the most beautiful celestial music in the world. Excited, it trembled slightly, grabbed Liu Xiaofei, pulled out a pistol and pressed it against Liu Xiaofei's temple. Then, it raised its hand and lightly slapped Liu Xiaofei's pretty face twice, making a crisp "slap slap" sound.
"Ziwei...don't come any closer, run...run! I have a time bomb on me, you can't save me, run...don't worry about me!"
Liu Xiaofei seemed completely oblivious to the gun pointed at her head, only desperately yelling at Zhou Ziwei over and over again, even though the sounds she made were still just a series of indistinct "woo-woo" sounds.
Seeing Zhou Ziwei struggling to get up little by little amidst the blood and mud, she felt that her own heart, which she had always considered very strong, was like a vase that had been smashed to pieces, turning into countless unforgettable moments of pain!
Before Zhou Ziwei arrived, Liu Xiaofei knew she was doomed after the bandits strapped a time bomb to her body. However, she couldn't help feeling anxious. She was afraid that Zhou Ziwei would come and die with her, and she was also afraid that he would abandon her. She didn't know whether she should be happy or disappointed.
At that moment, Liu Xiaofei had no selfish thoughts left. She no longer cared about her own life or death. She only hoped that Zhou Ziwei would be a man for once and abandon her to save his own life in the crucial moment.
If possible, Liu Xiaofei would rather die ten times over than have Zhou Ziwei die with her...
Liu Xiaofei was filled with hatred! She hated herself for being so narrow-minded. After hearing Zhou Ziwei say that he was already married, she went to a bar alone to drink, and thus unwittingly fell into the hands of these thugs!
Liu Xiaofei was filled with hatred! She hated herself for not ending her life decisively when she knew there was no hope of escape, but her limbs could still move with difficulty. If she had died then, Zhou Ziwei, with his shrewdness, would surely never have risked his life again!
If there were a pill to undo regrets, if everything that just happened could be undone, then Liu Xiaofei believed that when Zhou Ziwei told her again that he had been married, she would definitely smile sweetly and say to him... It's okay, as long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything, even if it means being your secret lover!
Yes... at least at this moment, that's what Liu Xiaofei really thought! If it were in the past, Liu Xiaofei would never have had such a crazy idea. In fact, she had a deep-seated contempt for those mistresses who interfered in other people's relationships.
In the past, she would never have been willing to become someone's mistress, no matter how outstanding the man was, even if he was as outstanding as Obama!
But now... Liu Xiaofei is willing and has no regrets!
Being someone's secret lover or mistress is indeed a very humiliating thing for a young, beautiful, and innocent girl.
But... if that man is willing to brave bullets and die for her, what does such a small grievance matter!
As the ancients said, "Priceless treasures are easy to obtain, but a loving husband is hard to find."
This shows how difficult it is for a woman to meet a loving man in her lifetime.
In Liu Xiaofei's view, Zhou Ziwei's feelings for her now go far beyond just "affection".
A woman, especially a beautiful woman, may encounter several men who are affectionate towards her when she is young, but... I'm afraid that a thousand or even ten thousand beautiful women will never encounter a man who would die for them in their entire lives!
Zhou Ziwei stood up again. After the wound on his leg had completely healed, he once again injected three times the amount of soul power into the nervous system of his legs. Then, pretending that his right leg was completely numb, he moved forward slowly with difficulty, limping.
Four meters, three meters, two meters, one meter...
Zhou Ziwei gazed at the faces faintly visible inside the warehouse ahead, silently calculating in his mind.
One meter left! Just one more meter forward, and hell and heaven will be swapped!
At that moment, with a gesture from the fanged dragon, Xiao Liuzi decisively pulled the trigger again.
With a "bang," the bullet arrived almost simultaneously with the gunshot.
At such close range, even Zhou Ziwei's reaction speed, which was several times faster than that of an average person, was still slightly slow.
Instantly, a whistling bullet pierced through his left leg.
Although this shot did not break Zhou Ziwei's bones, the damage from this shot was much greater than the combined damage from the previous shots, and the pain it caused was naturally much greater.
The already intense pain was amplified dozens of times, making it feel like a devastating sword piercing Zhou Ziwei's nervous system and wreaking havoc, causing him excruciating pain to the very marrow of his bones.
Zhou Ziwei suddenly felt his mind go blank, lost all sensation in his body, and collapsed to the ground.
This time, Zhou Ziwei fainted so quickly that he didn't even let out a scream. However, from the blood splattering on his legs and the continuous trembling of his whole body, anyone could see how much pain Zhou Ziwei was enduring at this moment.
