Without another word, Zhou Xuan slammed the fire extinguisher heavily onto the assailant's right arm. The assailant cried out in pain as his pistol flew several meters away.
Zhou Xuan acted quickly, then grabbed the fire extinguisher and smashed it hard on the thug's thigh. The sound of bones cracking could be heard, and the thug screamed and fell to the ground!
This sudden change stunned everyone present. Lee Sung-sik was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly. He immediately pounced over and picked up the pistol from the ground. As soon as he got his hands on the gun, Lee Sung-sik knew that it was a replica of a Type 64 pistol. Moreover, it was loaded with bullets and the safety was off. He had just seen the thug fire the gun, but why didn't it go off?
Are the bullets rotten? If one bullet is rotten, then if four shots are fired in a row, are all of them rotten?
It's possible that the pistol was loaded with fake bullets, or that they bought homemade bullets on the black market, which is why they were of poor quality and didn't fire.
But Zhou Xuan is really too bold, isn't he? Lee Sung-sik and Fei Lin were both incredibly surprised. Was Zhou Xuan really reckless or just incredibly lucky?
Lee Sung-sik grabbed the pistol and immediately fired several shots at the thug who was running towards him with explosives strapped to his hand. The thug also fired back at Lee Sung-sik, but both of them fired their pistols with a series of clicks, only to miss without firing any bullets.
Lee Sung-sik was stunned. Suddenly, he remembered what Zhou Xuan had just told him.
"It's time to make a move!" At this moment, Li Chengzhi truly remembered the meaning of Zhou Xuan's words, and Zhou Xuan himself did just that. Otherwise, how would he have had the courage to face the dark muzzle of a gun?
To everyone else, Zhou Xuan's act of smashing and injuring the armed thug with a fire extinguisher was a very heroic act.
Lee Sung-sik almost understood that what Zhou Xuan said was true. The guns these thugs were carrying were all unusable. He didn't understand how they did it, and Lee Sung-sik didn't have time to think about it at the moment. If he had to think about it, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning: Zhou Xuan was an undercover policeman who knew the details of these robbers, or he had switched the robbers' bullets. As for how he did it, who knows!
Once Lee Sung-sik realized that the robbers' pistols were useless, his courage surged, and he quickly rushed forward to fight the robber whose body was covered in explosives.
That thug was no pushover either; he was quite capable, fighting Li Chengzhi fiercely with his fists flying. Li Chengzhi was a Sanda champion, and hand-to-hand combat was his forte. Although the robber was skilled, he was still slightly inferior to Li Chengzhi, and he took several hard blows to the waist and legs in no time.
Just then, the last thug ran out of the stairwell. Feline panicked as she watched him rush towards her with a pistol in his hand. If he weren't carrying a gun, she would have rushed forward without hesitation to fight him to the death, but she couldn't feel at ease facing the gun.
Facing the robber, Li Chengzhi was not at a disadvantage, but the one who rushed out from behind had dodged because Fei Lin was afraid, so he couldn't dodge either. Anyway, since he couldn't use the gun in his right hand and it had no power, he wasn't afraid. He picked up the fire extinguisher and went to meet him again.
Without a second thought, the thug fired several shots viciously at Xi Zhouxuan's face, but unsurprisingly, the pistol did not fire. Xi Zhouxuan's fire extinguisher was also smashed down hard.
However, this criminal was much more skilled and quicker to react. When the pistol failed to fire and the other party's fire extinguisher came fiercely at him, he quickly dodged and then kicked Zhou Xuan to the ground.
Zhou Xuan's disadvantage was that he had never practiced combat martial arts. Although he had ice energy, his skills were much worse than his opponent's. The first time he was hit was because the opponent lacked experience and was also distracted by the fact that the pistol wouldn't fire. But now the robber was much more skilled. Zhou Xuan not only failed to hit him, but was also kicked over by his opponent.
But at that moment, Feline realized that the robber's pistol was also malfunctioning. She had been watching intently and was on high alert when the gun was fired, but it didn't go off. She knew very well that the robber's gun was broken!
The robber then stepped forward again, intending to cripple Zhou Xuan, because he understood that their only real opponents were the two men in front of them. He suspected that the police were behind it all, and they could only survive and move on if they killed these three men.
He thought so, and so did Feline. The fact that the opponent's gun was useless meant that they were on the same side as her, and everyone was in the same boat, which meant fighting with their fists. If the robbers didn't have any lethal weapons, they had already lost, since the police were surrounding them!
Fei Lin is quite skilled. Although she is not as good as Li Chengzhi, she is not bad in the special police team. She is one of the best among the female police officers. Even among the male police officers, there are quite a few who cannot beat her. The reason why Fu Yuanshan arranged for her to come is that arranging a girl might make the robbers lower their guard, because people generally underestimate women.
However, this robber was probably the most skilled of the three. When Feline intercepted him and they exchanged blows, Feline suffered some losses, but Zhou Xuan got his chance.
After Zhou Xuan got up, in that instant, Fei Lin was kicked and slapped on the left cheek. Although she dodged half of the force, half of her face immediately swelled up and burned with pain. Her waist also hurt a lot. She was no match for this person.
She could clearly see Xi Zhouxuan's skills; Zhouxuan had almost never practiced any fighting or martial arts. She really didn't know what Director Fu was thinking, arranging for an ordinary person to come along. Wasn't this just adding trouble for her and Li Chengzhi? Fortunately, the three robbers' pistols were no good, otherwise all three of them would be dead by now!
Seeing that Fei Lin was about to collapse, and that any further delay would result in even greater injuries, Zhou Shi quickly grabbed a fire extinguisher and rushed over again. Although the robber was not afraid of him, he couldn't afford to be hit either. He dodged and delivered another powerful punch to Zhou Xuan's chest.
If that punch had landed, Zhou Xuan would have broken at least a few of his ribs. But Zhou Xuan was very careful this time. He circulated his ice energy at full power and focused his attention. When the robber threw the punch, Zhou Xuan took a step back, then blocked it with the Annihilation Weapon. At the same time, he circulated his ice energy and transformed and devoured the skin and bones at the front of the robber's fist.
The robber didn't realize what was happening at that moment and slammed his fist hard into the fire extinguisher. But then he felt a sharp pain and cried out, "Ouch!" He pulled his hand back and looked at it, only to find that the back of his right hand was covered in blood and flesh and was badly injured.
The robber was quite surprised. His punch had landed on a steel plate. Although he would suffer some damage, it shouldn't have caused this much injury. He had trained with iron plates before. Looking at his hand, the injury was also strange. A large piece of skin and flesh was missing from the back of his hand, and much of the bone was gone. If hitting an iron plate caused injury, it would only damage the bone, but the remaining bone didn't seem to be broken or fractured. It was just that some bone was missing. This hand... would it be crippled?
Seeing that the robber was seriously injured after punching Zhou Xuan's fire extinguisher, Feline took advantage of the robber's stunned state and quickly stepped forward to launch a sneak attack, delivering several heavy blows to the robber. Meanwhile, Zhou Xuan pounced over and fiercely attacked the robber's legs.
Feline used her split-arm fighting technique to twist the robber's hands out of position, and Xi Zhouxuan smashed the robber's thighs with a series of sharp cracks.
These few brutal blows caused even the ruthless bandit to scream in agony. With his arms and legs broken, no matter how fierce he was, he was now a tiger without claws and teeth, no longer a threat.
After Zhou Xuan and Fei dealt with the robber, they looked at Li Chengzhi's side. The fight was still going on. Although Li Chengzhi had the upper hand, he was worried about the explosives strapped to the robber's body. So he kept pressing his opponent and tried his best to break his opponent's hands so that he could not press the switch.
The robber initially fought fiercely with Lee Sung-sik, but after seeing his two companions knocked down and clearly unable to resist, lying on the ground crying in pain and unable to stand up, he couldn't understand why his two companions, who were armed with pistols, and his opponents, who were also unarmed and charging at him, didn't fire. He wondered if their pistols had also hit duds like his.
That's impossible. I practiced shooting on the mountain. During practice, all the bullets were fine. I didn't encounter a single bullet. If it's a coincidence, there's no way it could be that coincidental.
When a person is distracted, they naturally cannot deal with what is in front of them. The same is true for this robber. Distracted, he was immediately hit hard by Li Chengzhi several times. His ribs cracked, as if one of them was broken. Then he was punched in the left cheek, and several of his teeth were knocked out.
The robber spat out a mouthful of blood, chuckled coldly, turned to the side and pressed the electronic switch hard, then received two more flying kicks from Li Chengzhi on the back.
But none of this worked. Lee Sung-sik couldn't stop the robber from pressing the detonator switch. After watching the robber press the switch viciously, Lee Sung-sik felt a chill in his heart!
During the fight with the robber, Lee Sung-sik was certain that the robber had definitely served in the military and was very experienced, so the explosives were not fake. Just from his desperate expression, he knew that this guy was going to detonate the explosives and send them all to their deaths!
Just as Lee Sung-sik was stunned when the robber pressed the switch, he paused for three or four seconds. The explosives on his body did not move, which startled him. He couldn't help but press the switch several more times, but no matter how he pressed it, the explosives did not move!
After a moment of stunned silence, Lee Sung-sik's heart pounded wildly. It seemed that this explosive, like their pistols, was also a counterfeit!
Without thinking twice, Lee Sung-sik pounced on the robber and broke his hands, then pinned him down.
If the robbers had wanted to fight, Lee Sung-sik wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily. But the robbers were completely surprised. The guns wouldn't fire, and the explosives wouldn't detonate. What kind of problem was this?
Feline had a communication device hidden in her hair that allowed her to communicate with the police below. At this moment, all three robbers had been subdued, and the crisis seemed to be over. She immediately dialed the communicator to report the situation to Fu Yuanshan below.
Zhou Xuan waved to the female saleswomen squatting on the ground and said, "You can all go down now, it's alright!"
More than twenty female saleswomen and three male managers rushed toward the elevator, but the elevator couldn't hold that many people, so the rest of them scrambled up the escalator!
Zhou Xuan didn't tell them not to panic. Anyway, the danger had been eliminated, so it didn't matter whether they panicked or not, and no other problems would arise.
Based on Fei Lin's report and the escape of the hostages from upstairs, Fu Yuanshan knew the crisis was over. He immediately waved and led the SWAT team into the building. Director Chen, Wei Haihe, and other leaders hadn't reacted yet. However, the hostages had escaped, and there were no explosions or even gunshots from inside the building, clearly indicating the kidnappers had failed. "But what exactly happened? We'll only know once those above saw the scene. What was it like up there?"
Volume 1, Chapter 269: Strange things happen every year, but today there seem to be more than usual.
At this moment, apart from Zhou Xuan himself and Fu Yuanshan, everyone else was completely confused and had no idea what was going on. ()
