Volume 2 Hello, Xia Mi Chapter 154 Cicada, Mantis, and Yellow Bird (Part 4)
The infantry anti-armor weapon Apache is equipped with armor-piercing shells that can penetrate 760mm steel plates at a distance of 300 meters. Lin Fenglong's small antique shop is just a corner of the street, and it is not even big enough to open a Japanese izakaya. If it is hit by this thing, no matter what is inside, it will be buried with it.
The sound of a telephone suddenly echoed in the alley. Garrincha was stunned for a moment, then he took out the phone from his pocket with one hand while holding the rocket launcher. The contact was someone he had been calling very frequently recently, so he had to answer the call even at this awkward time.
"What's the matter?" Garrincha answered the phone. He was certainly a fierce character who would pick up a rocket launcher if he disagreed with something, but he was also a real businessman. In a place like South America, you must first learn to be fierce, and secondly, you must also know how to restrain your edge and be able to advance and retreat freely in order to seize every opportunity. Not everyone will succumb to violence.
"What happened that made you even pick up a rocket launcher, my Mr. Horned Eagle?" The voice on the other end of the phone was respectful, yet somewhat teasing.
"Nothing, I just want to teach those young people a lesson." Garrincha did not forget to lock onto the antique shop while holding the phone. Caesar might be fast, but he could not be faster than an armor-piercing bullet.
"I saw you used a rocket launcher, but the Dragon King probably won't hide in a place like Liulichang. I have to remind you that China is different from your hometown, especially since you are still in the imperial capital. In this city, even a single gunshot will result in you being surrounded by anti-terrorist forces within ten minutes." Mr. Chen's voice was enthusiastic, like a tour guide introducing local customs to a foreign guest. "I think you don't want to be targeted by the local police before you fight the Dragon King, right? If you are arrested or even deported, I will not give you any help. The contract between us is limited to providing you with arms for slaying dragons."
"You're so long-winded!" Garrincha hung up the phone, threw it to his men, and was forced to turn off the safety device of the Apache rocket launcher.
When you are in a foreign land, you will be controlled by others. Even the South American boss has to bow his head when he comes to China. The weapons carried by Garrincha and his men cannot pass the strict customs inspection. But slaying a dragon is a business with risks and benefits. You can't tear the dragon scales with your bare hands and teeth and nails.
Through Mr. Chen, Garrincha and his team received sufficient firepower support after entering the country. Mr. Chen repeatedly reminded them that these weapons could only be used to slay dragons. He knew very well that these South American thugs would not be law-abiding characters, so the heavy firepower weapons for support were equipped with networked safety locks. Garrincha was of course not satisfied with the feeling of his weapons being controlled by others, but he had no choice. If he did not accept Mr. Chen's deal, he and his men would have no weapons to slay dragons, and other Chinese dragon-slaying families kept their distance from them. In this land, he had very few partners to choose from.
A cold wind suddenly blew down from the top of his head. Garrincha turned around and swung the 20-pound individual rocket launcher upwards. The blazing flames illuminated the cold ancient sword. The fierce attack from top to bottom left a half-inch deep cut on the Apache rocket launcher. The heavy rocket launcher flew to the side, knocked open the window paper of an antique shop and rolled in.
The man holding a long knife fell in front of Garrincha, his black hair was a little messy, and his golden pupils burst out with a creepy and stern light. Garrincha was distracted for a moment, feeling as if he was facing a military flashlight shining directly at him.
Without stopping for a moment, the man turned the blade around and rushed straight towards Garrincha with an extremely ferocious move. The edge of the blade cut through the air as if it could cut the invisible object in half, and the air waves rushed to both sides.
The fatal attack brought Garrincha back from his momentary stupor. He had experienced too many gunfire and rain of bullets, and was an absolute veteran in combat. He instantly regained his strength, clenching his fingers into fists. Facing the man's superb swordsmanship, he did not retreat but advanced instead, fighting the sword with his bare hands. At the precise moment of the cut, he punched the sword from the side, forcibly dissipating the force that was about to lean on him.
The man holding the knife was taken aback. It's not like he hasn't encountered opponents who can fight hand-to-hand with blades bare-handed, but Garrincha is even more advanced. He has both superb skills and instant reaction speed. Attacking a knife at high speed from the side is almost a dead end. No matter if he is slower or faster, his hand will be disabled. However, Garrincha is very precise, as if he can see the trajectory of the knife clearly at that moment and break it with one strike.
The offensive was resolved by the strange technique, and the man quickly retreated to maintain a suitable distance, carefully holding the knife and taking small steps. Now Chu Zihang is no longer the kind of reckless man who only knows how to force his opponent. Observing the opponent is also a part of fighting, especially when you know in advance that this is a dangerous opponent.
According to the information provided by Norma, Garrincha has never lost in close combat. If you take a closer look at this bald man's body, you will find that this guy who came out of the gang fighting area does not have any old wounds on his body. This is certainly not the effect of top-grade skin care products. For gang members, a man's scars are medals of honor. The fact that Garrincha does not have such scars means that he is too strong, so strong that he will not be injured in a fight of that level.
The two sides pulled away, which gave the men in black a chance to shoot, aiming their pistols at Chu Zihang. At this time, they heard a sound like a pig charging behind them, as if the ground was shaking, and it felt like a Tiger heavy tank was charging towards you. Could it be that the man with the knife came with a tank unit?
Before they could turn around, two of them were hugged by a bear hug from behind. The height of these two people was comparable to that of fighters, but in front of the brown bear that hugged them, they still looked as petite and lovely as Lu Mingfei. The guy's back was exaggeratedly bulging, and his twisted muscles were like the roots of an ancient tree, somewhere between a bear and a gorilla. Only from his face with white teeth shining with stars could we see that Fingel was very happy to play this kind of operation. After blessing the bronze throne, he could easily crush someone's bones with muscle strength alone. He grabbed the necks of the two men in black and slammed them in the middle. The two guys lost consciousness in the severe pain.
The other two men in black quickly turned their guns around, but they were still a beat slower to react. The sudden strong wind lifted one of them up high, and the bean juice he had tried in the morning fell like rain. The other man was knocked down by Caesar. The moment Chu Zihang appeared, Caesar judged from the heartbeat that it was his beloved old rival, and then rushed out of the antique shop boldly to cooperate tacitly.
In just a matter of breath, all of Garrincha's men were knocked down, and the offensive and defensive situation was reversed in an instant.
"I never thought in my life that I would be saved by you one day." Caesar glanced at Murasame in Chu Zihang's hand. He never felt that this guy was pleasing to his eyes, but only at this moment could he admit it.
Chu Zihang nodded without even looking at Caesar. This was considered a greeting. His mind was all on Garrincha. The previous confrontation gave him a very strange feeling.
"Why are you only looking at Chu Zihang? Is your beloved Minister of Information not worth mentioning at all?" Finkel expressed his dissatisfaction. He always stayed away from such dangerous work involving conflicts . However, there were both President Lionheart and Junior Sister in the team who were strangling him at the same time, so he had no choice but to rush in and do Caesar a favor.
"You've never attended a student union meeting. I once considered replacing you with someone else as the Minister of Information," Caesar said. "But now this resolution can be revoked!"
"Wow, is Caesar such a loyal and righteous hero? Does that mean I can also go to the student union and ask for a part-time job?" Xia Mi clapped her hands with starry eyes. She used the Eye of the Wind King to get rid of a man in black. She felt that she could also play a great role.
Caesar quickly glanced at Xia Mi, focusing on her waist, chest and legs. "Compared to the Lionheart Club, the student union's dance troupe is more suitable for you."
"Did you hear that, brother? If you don't treat me better I will betray the guild!"
People from Kassel College always seem to have a soul that can rot in any situation. Their conversation sounded very unpleasant to Garrincha. It was like a silent insult, a slap in his face. Do these young guys think that after getting rid of his men and only having him left, they should just surrender? Opening champagne too early usually means that the situation will unexpectedly reverse. This is how movies, novels, and animations depict it, and reality is no exception.
Garrincha directly locked onto Xia Mi. She was standing in an alley at the corner between two buildings. Years of battlefield experience allowed Garrincha to instantly determine that this girl was the weakest opponent on the field. Her position was extremely cautious and in the safest place. The best way to break out of the predicament was to concentrate strength and break through the weakest point of defense.
He twisted his neck, exerted force on his feet, and ignored Chu Zihang who was nearby. He rushed straight to Xia Mi. The three men noticed Garrincha's intention at the same time and surrounded him from three different directions. After being blessed by the bronze throne, Finger's body size was close to that of a sumo wrestler. He stood in front of Garrincha like an insurmountable wall. Chu Zihang's knife was close at hand. Caesar flanked him from the side, ready to lock him up with American fighting.
As students from the same school as Kassel, they maintained an amazing degree of synchronization even without eye contact. Garrincha had no way to escape. If he wanted to attack anyone first, the other two would attack his back or side in the next moment. It was indeed a good idea to target the weakest opponent and try to take him hostage, but he ignored the threats from others.
Garrincha suddenly leaped up, folding his arms like the best parallel bars athlete at the games, minimizing his attack area. Murasame cut past him from below, and Finkel's bear hug missed. Caesar had already touched Garrincha's body, but Garrincha was the only one on guard, and he used his knee to force Caesar's arm to change the direction of his attack.
In this instant, Garrincha almost used a vaulting horse method to find the only solution to break the encirclement of three people attacking at the same time from an incredible angle. No wonder he directly targeted Xia Mi, because he knew that the three people behind him could not stop him from moving forward!
Garrincha rushed towards the corner where Xia Mi was hiding, like a ferocious harpy eagle pouncing on its prey. Xia Mi held her head high, her face fearless and proud like a swan. She opened the Eye of the Wind King with all her might, because she knew that the opponent would definitely come straight at her, so it was particularly easy for her to control the direction of the attack. The instantaneous concentrated burst of the Eye of the Wind King was comparable to the eye of the wind.
But at the moment when the strong wind came, Garrincha seemed to have anticipated Xia Mi's way of resistance. He accelerated after a run and jumped high, grabbing the eaves extending from the roof. The storm swept under him but failed to affect the roof at all. He stepped on the old tiles, crushing them with every step. After just a few steps of acceleration, he jumped down from the roof with his arms open.
Fear finally overwhelmed Xia Mi. She felt like a bird pierced by an arrow. She wanted to dodge, but she couldn't move her feet. Garrincha's figure blocked the few rays of sunlight that came from overhead. It really felt like a bird of prey spreading its wings to swoop down on its prey.
The black muzzle of the gun was pointed at Xia Mi's head. Garrincha dragged her out of the alley by her hair. The Cassel elites who followed were only a few steps away from Garrincha, but they did not dare to move forward another step. No one could be faster than a bullet.
"Hey, heroes of Kassel! Who will save this poor little lamb?" Garrincha said proudly and lifted Xia Mi's hair with the muzzle of the gun.
He had no deep hatred with Kassel College, and they even had a cooperative relationship. The problem was that Caesar belonged to Kassel College, and he brought his classmates to defeat Garrincha's men. This alone was enough for Garrincha to transfer his anger towards Caesar to Kassel.
"Let her go, this subway card is yours!" Caesar threw the half subway card to Garrincha with a cold voice. He really hated to drag a lady into the battlefield. This was a personal grudge between him and Garrincha, and Xia Mi should not have gotten involved.
"Oh! What a heroic line, I'm almost moved to tears!" Garrincha sneered, "Don't be stupid, Gattuso, you know what I want, you want this girl to survive? Of course! I'm a businessman, and businessmen love trading the most! As long as there's money to be made, I can do anything you want! To me, nothing is more valuable than your head, Gattuso. Now, immediately, use the knife of the man next to you to commit suicide in front of me, so that you can get the lady's life back! Doesn't your family like to call themselves gentlemen the most? A gentleman should die for a beautiful lady!"
He twisted Xia Mi's temple fiercely with the muzzle of the gun. Xia Mi didn't dare to speak. She could only frown and close her eyes to endure the pain. At this time, any movement of the hostage would become an act to shake the psychological defenses of the thugs. If this guy made a mistake, everything would be ruined.
Caesar took a deep breath, "Chu Zihang! Give me the knife!"
"No way, boss?" Finkel was stunned. Caesar's forehead was rarely covered with blue veins, which made his usually handsome face look a little distorted. It could be seen that he was very angry, but more of it was hatred for himself for making the situation like this. He was indeed a top gentleman, so gentlemanly that he was willing to pay with his life as the price of defending his honor.
"He's not the kind of man who keeps his promises." Chu Zihang reminded in a low voice. The best way to deal with a gang member is to chop him alive before he can do anything, so Chu Zihang was so violent from the beginning. He and Xia Mifenger followed Garin to track them down and witnessed the moment this guy took out a rocket launcher. He was definitely a guy who would do anything to get what he wanted.
"I know, but that's for the future. If I die, and he doesn't keep his promise, then the rest will be yours. Cut off the hands and feet that need to be cut off. If you can get away with doing something wrong, who will believe in the glory of God?"
Caesar snatched Murasame from Chu Zihang, and Chu Zihang didn't even resist, his hand holding the knife was soft and weak. He also wanted to break the situation, but there was no other way. Three people could not stop Garrincha's steps. This South American gang leader was obviously far better than the so-called dragon-slaying elites from Cassel. Chu Zihang could certainly gamble with Jun Yan, but he couldn't afford to lose. Xia Mi and Garrincha were too close.
