Chapter 67: Failed Backstab
The situation on Li Qing's side is extremely bad.
They had just ended an extremely brutal "internal fight" and each of them was seriously injured in the battle.
Apart from Lee Sin who can breathe to recover health and is in full health, now...
Bucciarati's back was bruised and he moved slowly.
Fugo and Naranja fell in the aftermath of the virus's torture, too weak to even call for a stand-in.
Giorno and Abbazi each had gunshot wounds. Although their injuries were not serious and they could still fight, their body functions would be affected to some extent.
"It's absolutely impossible to fight hard."
"I am the only one left with full combat capability. If the people on that truck are really enemies, then our situation will be very dangerous."
"so…"
In the short ten seconds when the truck approached at high speed, Li Qing discussed with his teammates the measures to deal with the enemy attack with a serious look:
"We must outsmart the enemy and try to defeat them with a surprise attack!"
"A sneak attack?"
Giorno instantly understood Li Qing's thoughts and turned his attention to Bucciarati.
"I see…"
Without further explanation, Bucciarati could have come up with this extremely simple and effective tactic:
Three minutes ago, they were still fighting Li Qing to the death.
Just a minute ago, they officially decided to defect from the organization.
In this case, there is absolutely no way that other members of the organization would know that they have betrayed the organization.
In other words, Bucciarati and his crew could easily deceive the enemy by revealing their identities as "their own", and then take the opportunity to stab them in the back after gaining their trust.
"What the hell..."
"Are we going to confront the organization so soon?"
Fugo's face was pale and bleeding, and he seemed to be imagining the tragic scene of being sliced into pieces by Diablo after his rebellion failed.
But Bucciarati simply replied:
"good."
He is a strong and decisive man. Once he has made a decision, he will not waver in his position.
At this moment, Bucciarati officially raised the flag of rebellion against the organization: "I will cooperate with you, Li Qing!"
※※※
A moment later, at 15:56.
A large truck with a deep dent on its front suddenly rushed into the empty and deserted road at full speed like a tiger descending from a mountain.
Standing on the road ahead were all the members of Bucciarati's team, as well as Giorno who was "tied up" and Li Qing who was "unconscious and lying on the ground".
To be on the safe side, and to prevent themselves from being wiped out in one fell swoop by a substitute like Zi Yan, they did not stand in the same position stupidly, but simply formed a defensive formation:
Among them, Bucciarati, who was responsible for deceiving the enemy, stood in the front, while Giorno, who still had some fighting power, stood beside him, waiting for an opportunity to cooperate.
Under Apache's "supervision", Li Qing pretended to be unconscious and lay on the ground more than ten meters away. When the opportunity came, he would use the displacement ability of the Sky Sound Wave or the Golden Bell Cover to catch the enemy off guard.
As for Fugo and Naranja, who were exhausted after being tortured by the virus...
Their current condition was so bad that they couldn't even call for a stand-in. They could only be arranged to sit slumped under a roadside tree with the unconscious Mista, and quietly serve as spectators from a distance.
The truck driver had obviously noticed them, so he immediately stepped on the brakes and gradually slowed down.
But the truck was going too fast at the beginning. Even though the driver was deliberately slowing down, it was still rushing forward at an extremely astonishing speed.
Just as the truck was about to hit them, Bucciarati and the others were already trying to dodge...
It suddenly did a beautiful tailspin and braked suddenly, throwing the heavy and huge cargo box behind the front of the car in a semicircle, making it stop precariously on the road.
In this way, the truck not only stopped steadily, but also blocked the entire road horizontally with its long container.
"careful."
Bucciarati felt something was wrong, so he carefully reminded Giorno who was standing next to him.
As he was watching carefully, a man came down from the truck's cockpit...
A middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle.
He was wearing a white shirt soaked with sweat and a pair of sophisticated gold-rimmed glasses. There was no murderous intent on his slightly old face, but instead he gave people an impression of being gentle and elegant.
This guy's image is so weak that it is hard to imagine that the man who just drove the truck to achieve the "shrimp catching" effect was actually him.
"Who are you?"
Bucciarati frowned slightly.
The other party's temperament does not look like a killer in the organization, but more like an old gentleman who teaches in a school.
"Fernando."
The middle-aged man named Fernando wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave his name breathlessly.
But he did not reveal any more information, but just asked:
"Who are you?"
"Bucciarati."
Bucciarati answered "truthfully":
"I am Mr. Polpo's subordinate and the captain of the Naples area combat team."
"Yeah?"
"Then we are family, Mr. Bucciarati."
"The boss asked Mr. Bolbo to check with us, so I know your team is also responsible for hunting down Li Qing."
Fernando smiled, but didn't show any intention of moving forward:
"To be honest, I am actually a member of the boss's personal guard."
"The boss ordered our guards to assemble in Naples this morning, but the journey is too far, so I just arrived now."
He introduced himself without reservation, and then asked with great concern:
“I heard about it when I came here…”
"That guy named Li Qing took the initiative to expose his tracks in a restaurant nearby. It's obvious that he wanted to attract us to attack."
"Since Mr. Bucciarati's team arrived earlier than me, they should have fought with that Li Qing, right?"
"Excuse me, where is he now?"
"Right there."
Bucciarati pointed at Li Qing who was lying unconscious on the ground a dozen meters away:
"He is Li Qing."
“It wasn’t easy, but we succeeded in defeating him.”
"oh?"
Fernando's pupils shrank, and he asked more concernedly, "Is Li Qing still alive?"
If you want to deceive people, the more truth in your lies, the better.
So Bucciarati immediately replied:
"He's still alive, but he's completely incapable of moving."
"And his companion, this little brat named Giorno, has also been completely controlled by us."
"Mr. Fernando, if you are interested..."
He turned sideways, pretending to be willing to make way: "You can go over and take a look."
"oh?"
Fernando nodded gratefully: " That's great!"
"I heard that both Skayaro and Karne died at the hands of this guy. I thought we were going to have a tough battle..."
"I didn't expect that he had already been dealt with by the local combat team."
"You really can't be underestimated, Mr. Bucciarati..."
He praised the abilities of Bucciarati and others without hesitation, and finally took a step forward.
Bucciarati held his breath.
Giorno also quietly broke free from the rope that was not tied tightly at all, ready to take action at any time.
One step, two steps, three steps...
If he takes two more steps forward, Fernando will be within the range of both the Steel Chain Fingers and the Golden Experience.
By then, he will enjoy the double happiness of "Ali Ali" and "Mu Da Mu Da" at the same time.
However…
Bang!
A gunshot suddenly rang out on the empty road.
The person who fired the shot was none other than the seemingly harmless Fernando.
He slipped a loaded pistol from his sleeve at some point and pulled the trigger at Bucciarati who was not far in front of him.
The bullet whizzed out and hit Bucciarati's chest directly.
"What?!"
Although he was prepared for the possibility of his plan failing and being discovered, Bucciarati still did not expect the other party to launch an attack so decisively.
The injury on his back had not yet healed, and his movements were slow and he found it difficult to dodge.
The bullet immediately pierced his chest and abdomen, causing a splash of glaring blood.
"this…"
Bucciarati subconsciously covered his wound with his hand, his face looking extremely ugly.
He was even more injured and had no strength left. He had to quickly summon his steel chain fingers to protect himself, then carefully backed away.
“Damn it…”
Giorno simply stopped pretending.
He threw away the rope that was in the way, summoned the Golden Experience, and then looked at Fernando who suddenly attacked with a look of doubt:
"How...how did you figure that out?"
"Have we revealed any flaws?"
Bucciarati officially betrayed the organization just a minute ago, so it is impossible for the news to leak out so quickly.
After thinking it over, Giorno didn't find anything wrong with his and Bucciarati's acting.
However, Fernando attacked them anyway.
Without even a moment's hesitation, he launched an attack on "his own people".
why is that?
Fernando gave the answer:
"ah?"
"Flaw, what flaw?"
He scratched his Mediterranean head in confusion, then looked at Li Qing who was "falling to the ground" in the distance:
"I don't know what you want to say..."
"Don't you understand? I'm just robbing my fellow thieves."
