After saying that, Hu Zi swaggered out of the house.
The corpse... there was no corpse left on the ground. It was nothing more than a pile of minced meat!
Hu Zi left the apartment but went to the apartment next door.
Hu Zi had booked several floors of the hotel, including dozens of suites, for his use. He planned to stay there long-term. After all, he was plotting something big in G Province, and this hotel was essentially a temporary base for him.
At this moment, Hu Zi entered the suite next door.
This apartment is quite spacious; the living room alone is nearly 200 square meters. In fact, this apartment was originally intended to be used as a small meeting room.
At this moment, all the tables and chairs in the small conference room have been removed, leaving only some sofas, common household appliances, and five long wooden tables.
Five corpses were laid out on five long wooden tables!
These are the bodies of the five armed bodyguards that Gao Jianfei killed with a hidden weapon last night!
At this moment, there were about twenty people in the conference room. Some were sitting on the sofas, leisurely smoking and chatting, while others were standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the scenery outside.
There were 27 people in total, including 19 Chinese, 4 Black people, and 4 blond-haired, blue-eyed Europeans.
At this moment, two people from country Z were studying the five corpses.
"Ha! Butcher, Er Kong, hello! It's a pleasure to work with you again!" Beard walked over and greeted the two Chinese men who were studying the corpse warmly, and then gave them a heartfelt hug.
Of the two Chinese men, one was bald with several scars on his face, and his overall aura was extremely imposing and terrifying. Moreover, he was one-eyed, which made his already ferocious appearance even more sinister! This man, nicknamed "The Butcher" by the bearded man, was...
The other one was unremarkable in appearance, less than 1.6 meters tall, but like Hu Zi, he also had a full beard. Hu Zi called him "Er Kong".
"Beard! It's a pleasure to work for you again. Your generosity is appreciated and admired by every member of our 'Butcher's Knife Mercenary Group'!" Butcher put his arm around Beard's shoulder, very affectionately. "This time, all my men are here. Do you want to launch a terrorist attack on this city, or do you want to assassinate the city's military district commander?"
"Ha! Butcher's Knife, you're joking, aren't you?" Bearded man grinned. "However, I'm certain your team is capable of launching a terrorist attack, and also of assassinating any officer in the city's military district. Ha!"
The Butcher's Knife Mercenary Group is a truly terrifying team. They are all outlaws. For money, they will do anything. They have participated in coups in several African countries, assassinated important officials in some cities, and even fought in actual wars.
The mercenary group is composed of a very diverse group. It includes a notorious, wanted serial killer; a retired special forces soldier from a certain country; and a professional boxer who has long been active in the underground boxing world…
In short, they are a team that has teetered on the edge of life and death for many years. Their fighting prowess is beyond doubt!
"Hey boss, what's the mission this time?" A black man on the sofa asked in broken Mandarin. He was handling a revolver with practiced ease.
“G province is truly a beautiful city. It used to be my hometown,” said a Chinese man sitting next to a Black man, wiping a military dagger in a sentimental tone.
"Hey guys, quiet down. I'll have a word with Boss Beard." The Butcher smiled and waved to his gang members, signaling them to stop talking nonsense.
At this moment, Er Kong spoke up, "Judging from these five corpses, the enemy was skilled in using concealed weapons, such as throwing knives."
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s a throwing knife! And this guy is really good at fighting,” the bearded man quickly said.
"Ha, Beard, I have two members who are professional underground boxers. They've participated in over 200 underground boxing matches in the US and killed over 200 opponents in the ring. They can kick a person's head into a rotten watermelon. Do you think anyone can fight better than them?" Butcher said with no small amount of boasting.
"Uh... Butcher, you're right." Bearded man patted his forehead. "The real-time lethality of underground boxing is indeed much stronger than that of folk martial arts in China!"
The butcher smiled with satisfaction. "So, Beard, the person you hired us to deal with is that guy who shot and killed your men with a hidden weapon?"
“Dear Butcher, that guy is just the first target you’re going to eliminate. Hmm, he asked to meet me tonight to settle things… Ha… Ha…” The bearded man laughed maniacally, tears streaming down his face. “Gao Jianfei, ha… You, you didn’t expect this, did you? To deal with you and the underground forces in G Province, I hired a mercenary group… Ha…”
He laughed for a full three minutes before wiping away his tears and saying to the butcher, "Let's go together tonight. He's a very energetic and confident young man. Since he invited me to a date, I think he'll be there."
Erkong stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips. "Very interesting. A little guy who can throw knives."
At this moment, the butcher's expression became slightly serious. "Beard, I think you should send someone to scout the meeting place in advance. Perhaps the other side has set up an ambush."
Hu Zi smiled and said, "Last night, when I sent people over to collect the body, I already observed the area. The only place nearby where someone could hide is a small hill behind the hotel. Tu Dao, Er Kong, don't worry, I'll send my men over to investigate thoroughly at noon. I'll send another group over to investigate in the evening."
In the den of ghosts.
Gao Jianfei and Feng Heng slept for several hours in their room. When he got up, he checked his phone and it was already 7:20 p.m.
Gao Jianfei stood up, stretched happily, then walked over to thank Feng Heng before leaving the ghost den.
Then, we went to Tang Long's room.
After a busy day of work, Tang Long had basically completed the creation of the object according to Gao Jianfei's requirements.
One iron bow, 67 arrows.
Gao Jianfei weighed the iron bow in his hand, tested its weight, then drew it to its full extent and laughed, "Master Tang's craftsmanship is indeed superb! This bow is very easy for me to use!"
Tang Long chuckled憨厚ly, then pulled Gao Jianfei to drink with him. He also invited Ke Zhen'e, Hua Rong, and other Level 2 ghosts over. This time, even Huang Feihong came to join in the fun. However, Gao Jianfei had a very important battle that night, so he didn't drink any alcohol, only eating some roasted pork to fill his stomach.
After finishing his meal, Gao Jianfei chatted casually with the Level 2 ghosts. He was waiting for the time to pass. He waited until around 11 p.m. Then, Gao Jianfei stood up.
He slung the iron bow over his shoulder, a handful of arrows clutched in his hand. He thought, "It's time to escape this den of thieves!"
Beard, are you here yet?
Chapter 134 Archery God...Gao Jianfei!
Chapter 134 Archery God...Gao Jianfei!
Half an hour before Gao Jianfei was about to leave the ghost's den with his bow and arrows, about 20 of Hu Zi's henchmen and some folk martial artists hired by Hu Zi thoroughly searched the small hill inside and out, leaving no tree or blade of grass untouched.
They were certain that there was no one there.
Meanwhile, the people in the nearby hotels and rental houses were all temporarily allowed to leave for a few days by Hu Zi's men, who paid them money.
The hotel area was quiet.
There were more than a dozen black cars parked in that small flat area. Hu Zi had already arrived.
Not only did Hu Zi arrive, but the Butcher Mercenary Group also came. In addition, Hu Zi also brought more than a dozen bodyguards and more than twenty martial arts masters from G Province.
Hu Zi's group numbered over 50! They were a formidable force. He believed that as long as Gao Jianfei dared to come to the appointment, taking him down would be no problem at all! Hu Zi had personally witnessed the Butcher's Knife Mercenary Group carry out missions, and he trusted his judgment. Some members of the Butcher's Knife Mercenary Group possessed individual combat abilities that were not far inferior to Gao Jianfei's!
but……
Hu Zi and his men waited for a full half hour, but still didn't see a single ghost!
Beard, Butcher's Knife, and Er Kong huddled together, smoking and chatting. At that moment, the group of henchmen in charge of the mountain, along with the folk martial artists, all ran down the mountain.
"Brother Beard, there isn't even a bird's feather on the mountain."
"President, we have checked carefully and found no ambush."
Tu Dao's eye twitched slightly. "Beard, it seems we've been tricked. That 'Gao Jianfei' guy was just fooling you; he's not coming tonight."
While tugging at his stubble, he glanced at the intersection behind him and said, "Wait another half hour."
After saying that, Hu Zi got into his car.
Butcher gave Er Kong a wink. "Brother, you and the men wait outside. We'll call it a day in half an hour." With that, Butcher climbed into Beard's car and started talking to him.
On Hu Zi's side, more than fifty people stood in the small flat area, looking around and waiting.
On the mountain.
With a thought, Gao Jianfei left the ghost den.
Gao Jianfei first put down the iron bow and arrows in his hand. Then he looked down the mountain.
The moon was full and bright tonight. From Gao Jianfei's vantage point, he could see the entire plain below. However, the mountainside was covered with fruit trees and small patches of woods, blocking the moonlight and plunging Gao Jianfei into complete darkness!
"Ha, they've really arrived! Great!" Gao Jianfei glanced around and saw dozens of people and more than a dozen vehicles in the flat area.
"Alright, my dear Beard, the masquerade ball is officially open!"
Gao Jianfei gripped the iron bow, nocked an arrow, focused his eyesight, drew the bowstring taut, and aimed with intense concentration!
At this very moment, as Gao Jianfei prepared to fire, it was as if Hua Rong had possessed him!
The straight-line distance from Gao Jianfei's location to that small flat area is approximately 60 to 80 meters. This is exactly Gao Jianfei's effective firing range.
"call out!"
The first arrow shattered the tranquility of the world, carrying a terrifying whistling sound and murderous intent, and instantly pierced the throat of a mercenary in the plain!
"Thud!" The mercenary's throat was pierced through by the arrow. His body was pushed back several meters by the force of the arrow before he collapsed to the ground with a thud!
"Ah! Enemies! Enemies!" Terrified screams immediately erupted from the plain!
"call out!"
Gao Jianfei was completely focused on shooting; he was like a calm and dangerous sniper, reaping lives—his only job at that moment.
"Pfft!" A folk boxer's throat was pierced by a bullet, and he flew backward several meters before landing.
"call out!"
The third arrow was fired, effortlessly taking the life of a mercenary. In fact, this mercenary was a professional underground boxing champion with a very high win rate. If Gao Jianfei had faced him head-on in the ring, he might have had to put in some effort. But now, under Gao Jianfei's unparalleled archery skills, this underground boxing champion's life was as fragile as paper!
"Quick! Get inside the car! Quick!" The experienced mercenaries quickly realized that if this continued, they would be slaughtered by the archers lurking in the darkness!
Two mercenaries ran toward a car at the same time.
Gao Jianfei took in the chaos in the small plain, his observation and eyesight reaching their peak! He continued to draw his bow... "Whoosh!"
An arrow shot out, piercing a mercenary's throat. The mercenary was thrown backward, crashing into another mercenary running towards the cart with him. The arrow still carried immense force from his throat… "Thud!"
The other mercenary's throat was then pierced!
Kill two birds with one stone!
"No!" a Black mercenary cried out in terror, leaning against the car door and returning fire with his revolver. But how could he possibly locate Gao Jianfei on such a vast hilltop? He wasn't powerful enough to pinpoint Gao Jianfei's location by sound alone!
His shooting was nothing more than a subconscious act of self-protection, a release of fear and despair.
However, Gao Jianfei disliked people firing shots in front of him.
"call out!"
"Bang!" The black gunman's heart was pierced by the bullet, and his body was pinned to the car.
At this moment, whether they were members of the Butcher's Knife Mercenary Group, Beard's bodyguards, or those folk martial artists, they were all gripped by a sense of despair and helplessness. They felt like ants!
A nimble mercenary jumped into the car, started the engine, and tried to escape. "Whoosh!" An arrow pierced the car window, its momentum undiminished, entering the mercenary's right temple, exiting through his left temple, and then piercing the other side window, striking a bearded bodyguard hiding outside the car in the abdomen. Of course, killing the bodyguard was purely coincidental; Gao Jianfei wasn't that terrifying.
Chaos! The scene was completely chaotic!
"Get your men to kill him! Kill him! Now!" Beard trembled violently, howling in a terrified voice. He swore he had never been so afraid! He had never felt such fear in his entire life!
Butcher's eyes, which had always been indifferent to life and death, finally showed an unusual look of panic. He shouted out the car window, "Charge! On the other side of the mountain! Charge! Charging is the only way!"
Immediately, three mercenaries charged straight towards the hill.
These three mercenaries had all served in the elite special forces of a Southeast Asian country, so their charge was a training exercise honed while dodging gunfire.
They were like snakes, winding and meandering, rushing up the mountain!
