Hu Shan waved his hand, and three other men stepped forward. Some had pistols, and some had rifles. The four of them opened fire on the wall.
Sparks flew off the wall, and bullets were scattered all over the ground, but not a single one penetrated the wall. The wall was covered with bullet marks, but they were just shallow marks.
After they finished firing all the bullets in their magazines, Zhou Xuan waved his hand and said, "Go over and check if you've made any holes in the wall."
Hu Shan and the other three went up and inspected the wall carefully. The wall was covered with bullet marks, making it look like a pockmarked face, but none of the marks were deeper than one centimeter!
Turning back, the four men stared at Zhou Xuan as a burst of gunfire swept across the concrete wall. What was their intention?
Zhou Xuan handed the dozen or so bullets infused with supernatural abilities to the four people and said, "Try shooting these dozen or so bullets at the wall and see what happens."
As Hu Shan picked up the bullets, he muttered to himself, "These bullets were just taken out of the box, so what's the difference?"
The four men loaded the bullets into their guns, then stood side by side, looked at Zhou Xuan, and Hu Shan snapped his fingers, saying, "Fire!"
The four men fired at the same time, but this time the sound was much quieter because there were only a dozen or so bullets in total. Each man fired only three or four bullets, and the rounds were finished in a few seconds.
When they fired, Hu Shan and his men noticed something strange; this shooting was different from the previous ones. It wasn't that the guns were firing, but rather the sound they made when they hit the opposite wall was different.
The initial sound was very loud, with a heavy echo in the basement, but the current gunshots sounded muffled, as if the bullets weren't ricocheting off, but rather seemed to have penetrated something wrapped in thick cloth.
Zhou Xuan's supernatural abilities had detected everything clearly. Just as he expected, when these bullets hit the wall, they "entered the tofu as if there were no obstruction," penetrating the wall and going in two or three meters deep!
Zhou Xuan was still estimating. Since these guns weren't specially made, if a dedicated sniper rifle were used, the range would probably be even greater. His superpower had finally achieved the same effect as the bullets fired by that mysterious assassin!
Hu Shan and his three companions jogged forward and looked at the wall. They were stunned. There were seventeen bullet holes in the wall.
This looks just like the hole Zhou Xuan just shot out with the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
Hu Shan finally understood what Zhou Xuan was testing, and his awe of Zhou Xuan grew even stronger. If Zhou Xuan were to become the security captain and Tuluk's right-hand man, he would absolutely be no match for him. "His strength is too terrifying. He simply has no way to resist him. Not to mention him alone, even if all the guards in the Prince's mansion were gathered together to deal with Zhou Xuan, they still wouldn't be able to handle him."
Putting aside Zhou Xuan's terrifying strength, even with this kind of bullet, in the same environment, if both sides are hiding behind solid cover, having a bullet like Zhou Xuan's means having the power to decide life and death. Other people's bullets can't penetrate or get through the cover, but your bullets can penetrate one or two meters of solid cover, even concrete and steel plates. The bullets can penetrate through and kill the opponent. In such a battle, the outcome is already very clear!
Hu Shan and his group returned, their faces filled with surprise and disbelief, but the facts were undeniable, and they had no choice but to accept them!
Hu Shan paused for a moment, then said, "Mr. Zhou, how did you make these bullets? Aren't they the same bullets we provided? How can the same bullets be different?" Zhou Xuan clenched his fist, smiled faintly, and said, "I infused these bullets with my internal martial arts skills. I don't understand why, but I guess it's because the molecular density of these bullets is increased. I now suspect that the assassin who tried to kill Prince Tuluk yesterday probably used this method, because his bullets traveled over three thousand meters, penetrated super-strong bulletproof glass, and even pierced through a reinforced concrete wall. This is similar to my thinking!"
Hu Shan was well aware of the attack on Tuluk yesterday. Protecting the prince was his duty, and if the prince had been killed, he would have lost his job as well.
After Prince Tuluk returned yesterday, Hu Shan questioned the guards who had accompanied the prince in detail, analyzed the situation, and understood the general course of events. However, he couldn't understand how a sniper could penetrate super-strong bulletproof glass after shooting three thousand meters away, and even penetrate into a wall. Based on this strength, even if the distance were increased by another thousand meters, the bullet would still have enough force to kill a person!
While searching for the killer through the police station, Hu Shan also considered various possibilities. However, after thinking about it all night, he still couldn't figure it out. He then asked a friend in the police department to search for a killer with such abilities. The result was that there was currently no such record in the world, including official records.
But his friends from the Oath of Justice gave him another result. That is, there is now a rumor that there is an assassin organization called "Butcher" with such ability. It is said that as long as Butcher accepts a mission, no matter how difficult it is, they can complete it. However, they are too mysterious, and even the most powerful American intelligence organization cannot track Butcher down.
As for how Butchers accept missions, it is through the most notorious international assassin organization, "Ladder City." They ask for assassins, tell Ladder City their requirements, the difficulty of the mission, and the amount of the reward, and then Ladder City will reply to you whether there are any assassins available to accept the mission.
Currently, Butcher has taken on twenty-seven missions, each of which is a sensational event that has shaken the world. However, all twenty-seven missions have been successfully completed, and counter-terrorism organizations around the world have been unable to track Butcher down.
In the world's top assassin organization rankings, "Butcher" has only appeared for three years, but with a mere three years of debut, twenty-seven missions, and a 100% success rate, he has ranked first on the assassin list.
Hu Shan guessed that it might be Butcher, but he wasn't sure, because there was no news from Ladder City that Butcher had accepted a mission.
And if it was Butcher who made the move yesterday, how could he have failed?
Since he failed, he's probably no longer a killer with a 100% success rate.
What Hu Shan couldn't understand the most was why the killer's bullet had disappeared. It came from a distance of more than 3,000 meters, penetrated the super-strong bulletproof glass, and then entered the solid reinforced concrete wall. In the end, the bullet just mysteriously disappeared. These suspicious points were similar to the 27 crime scenes of the killer that his friend had sent him.
In the cases that Butcher took on, not a single clue was left at the scene of each crime. The victims only had gunshot wounds on their bodies, but no bullets!
Volume 1, Chapter 488
*Shan and the others felt an even stronger sense of awe towards Zhou Suan. At the same time, they also...
Yesterday I heard that the bullet fired by the assassin mysteriously disappeared, and the autopsy of the body of his companion at the scene yielded no results; there wasn't a single clue about the bullet.
But now the same unbelievable thing has happened again, but the person who did it is Zhou Xuan. Could it be that Zhou Xuan is the assassin?
But he immediately dismissed the idea. If he could think of it, then others could too. Would Tongxuan be so foolish as to deliberately let Prince Tuluk suspect him?
Of course it's impossible. Besides, Zhou Xuan was there at the time, and I've heard that Zhou Xuan is a relative of the Prince's good friend in China. How could he possibly kill His Highness? Furthermore, if something happens to the Prince, it won't do him any good.
Zhou Xuan chuckled and said to Hu Shan, "Mr. Hu Shan, give me some of the bullets from your sniper rifles and pistols. I'm free, so I can modify some bullets for you. In the same environment, our bullets are more powerful than theirs, which will naturally give us the upper hand!"
Hu Shan was overjoyed and immediately ordered several of his men to bring out a large quantity of bullets needed for the pistols they used regularly, and then they also selected over a hundred bullets for sniper rifles, totaling about three or four hundred bullets.
I just witnessed the powerful force of the bullets modified by Zhou Xuan. This small rifle bullet has more penetrating power than armor-piercing bullets. In a normal gunfight, it is unlikely that there will be any cover more than two meters thick, right?
It's incredible that ordinary pistols and rifles can penetrate several meters into the most solid steel and concrete walls.
Although Hu Shan couldn't explain it, he could only attribute it to the unique mystery of Zhou Xuan, an Easterner. But when Zhou Xuan said he would modify the bullets for them, they were naturally overjoyed, so they eagerly picked out the bullets.
Zhou Xuan smiled slightly and said, "I need to take the bullets back to my room and make them slowly. This requires a quiet environment."
Hu Shan nodded repeatedly, instructing two of his men to deliver the selected bullets to Zhou Xuan's room. After thinking for a moment, he arranged for two more men to guard the room, still feeling somewhat uneasy. Zhou Xuan's residence was in the backyard of the Prince's mansion, and if Zhou Xuan was truly connected to that assassin, it would be extremely dangerous. Moreover, these modified bullets were so potent; he couldn't even imagine the consequences if Zhou Xuan were the assassin.
After escorting Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu back to their room, Hu Shan went directly to Prince Tuluk's inner chamber to report the situation to him, and even told the prince in detail what Zhou Xuan had just asked for.
Hu Shan wasn't stupid. Prince Tuluk trusted and valued Zhou Xuan highly. If anything happened to Zhou Xuan, he wouldn't take responsibility. Besides, he had already reported Zhou Xuan's actions to him. If something went wrong, he would have even less responsibility.
After listening to Hu Shan's report, Prince Tuluk pondered for a moment, then said, "Just send two guards to secretly monitor him. Remember, don't reveal your presence or arouse their suspicion. Also, make sure you keep a clear record of the number of bullets you handed over to him. When he returns them to you, make sure the number matches!"
To be honest, Tuluk had some doubts, but he also understood that Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu were more than 90% sure they had nothing to do with the assassins. Putting aside Wei Haihong's relationship, if Zhou Xuan were really an assassin, or had a connection with assassins, then he would never have handed over the assassin's copper, those powerful modified bullets, to Hu Shan and the others in front of them now!
It's easy to imagine that doing this would arouse suspicion, and it would also hand over the secret weapon to control others. Putting the other party on the same side as him would not be good for him either. If that were the case, "if he didn't save me yesterday, I would have been killed by the assassin back then. Why bother setting up any traps afterward? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"
Therefore, Tuluk didn't quite believe that Zhou Xuan was related to the assassin, but it's always good to be cautious and make some preparations, as long as Zhou Xuan doesn't find out.
