The Hunter's Path: Starting as a constable, ascend to the Old Ones.

Chapter 91: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole, Climbing Stairs, Rescuing the Young Reporter

"These guys are pretty cautious!"

Lu Ming crouched behind the car and used his eagle eye to observe the thugs' insane acts of desecrating the corpse. He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't pretended to be a corpse, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to withstand being sprayed with bullets like that.

"Damn it, that bastard got away."

The thugs rushed into the monitoring room, only to find it empty and in complete disarray. They immediately realized that the culprit had escaped, leaving them with nothing. They then burst into curses.

Lu Ming looked at the gang of thugs and their leader, "idiot," and listened to their conversation with a faint glint in his eye, noting their tone and voice. After a short while, he picked up his Uzi submachine gun and aimed it.

Auto-aim!

Da da da!

Intense gunfire erupted, and the bandits were caught off guard by the barrage of submachine gun fire, falling down screaming in agony. Only two reacted quickly and rushed into the monitoring room to take cover.

This included the leader of this small gang of bandits—Shrimp Head.

"Damn it, this bastard ambushed me, I'm going to kill him."

Shrimp Head scrambled into the monitoring room, brandishing his Uzi submachine gun and firing wildly without looking in any direction, hoping to deter the ambushing crew from firing and give them a chance to retaliate.

Feeling the warm current rising within him, Lu Ming took two melon-shaped grenades from his chest, pulled the pins, and threw them into the monitoring room.

Shrimp Head and the remaining thug looked at the grenade rolling in and finally understood why the monitoring room was a mess. They exchanged a glance and were about to curse when the grenade exploded.

The two people were thrown by the powerful shockwave, crashing into the wall and falling to the ground, their bodies riddled with shrapnel. They lay motionless, dead beyond any doubt.

Lu Ming used his eagle-eye vision to see the situation clearly, but he didn't dare to be careless and went forward. He took out his pistol and fired two shots at each of the corpses.

These ruthless bandits were all carrying grenades; one wrong move could give them the opportunity to pull the pin and take him down with them.

He has just been promoted to Sequence 8 Bounty Hunter.

The hunting quantity task on the panel has been canceled, making it impossible for him to confirm whether the target is dead through the panel, so he can only fire two more shots to ensure safety.

After finishing all that, Lu Ming changed the magazine on his Uzi submachine gun, picked up the gun, and went forward, then casually picked up two more magazines and put them away.

"Zzzzz—Shrimp Head, please reply. What's next?"

Just then, the walkie-talkie of the minor leader, Shrimp Head, suddenly rang.

Lu Ming picked up the walkie-talkie, recalling the shrimp head's voice that he had just memorized. He then cleared his throat and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I've already taken care of this bastard."

Skill-

Ventriloquism!

If anyone familiar with Lu Ming or Xia Tou were to hear Lu Ming's voice now, they would be absolutely astonished, because the voice coming from Lu Ming's mouth is not exactly the same as Xia Tou's, but at least seven or eight parts similar.

If you don't look closely, the two are almost indistinguishable.

Lu Ming had only listened to the shrimp's voice for a moment, and he was immediately able to use his ventriloquism skills to simulate it almost perfectly.

In fact, when Lu Ming awakened his ventriloquism skill, he carefully considered how to use it. His first thought was to forge recorded confessions and send criminals without evidence to prison.

But then he thought, why bother with all that trouble? What he wanted was to kill, not to be tried and convicted.

That's why my ventriloquism skills have never been used before, but now they're finally coming in handy.

"Take control of the monitoring room immediately and check the whereabouts of the remaining intruders—someone broke into the jewelry exhibition—zzzz!"

A sudden burst of chaotic noise erupted from the walkie-talkie, and then the call went silent.

Lu Ming smiled slightly, thinking that Li Jie must have driven up to the top floor and caused a scene at the jewelry exhibition.

"Hopefully this guy survives."

This was a plan he and Li Jie had discussed: to use himself as bait to lure out the bandits at the jewelry exhibition one by one, eliminate them one by one, and then seize the opportunity to rescue the hostages.

Lu Ming hung the walkie-talkie on his waist, stopped and headed straight for the stairwell, striding up the stairs just like Chen Jiaju.

He doesn't plan to take the elevator.

Elevators are not only cramped but also enclosed spaces.

This would hinder his ability to use his eagle eye, and he would also be in great danger when facing bandits with grenades, as he could easily be suffocated in the elevator.

He's not like Li Jie, who would dare to take the elevator directly to the top floor jewelry exhibition in front of the thugs.

Li Jie wasn't afraid of death; he was afraid.

Lu Ming climbed the stairs at lightning speed, taking two steps at a time.

His physical condition is now extraordinary; he can climb stairs with almost no effort and can reach the 20th floor in one go without stopping.

"Zzzzz—Shrimp Head, Shrimp Head, someone has escaped! They should be on the 30th or 40th floor. You immediately take men upstairs and surround them with us—don't let them get away."

"Damn it, these bastards are always causing us trouble. Once I find them, I'll kill them."

Hearing the voice on the walkie-talkie, Lu Ming immediately imitated Shrimp Head's voice, cursing and swearing. At the same time, he realized that Li Jie's commotion earlier had rescued some people, which had attracted the thugs to chase after them.

"Thirty or forty floors —"

He looked up once, then continued climbing the stairs, checking each floor to make sure he didn't miss anyone who had escaped.

Now, he dares not call Li Jie casually, lest he expose Li Jie's location with a single call and be shot at by the bandits.

"By the way—where did Ka-Kui go?"

Lu Ming recalled seeing Chen Jiaju huffing and puffing as he climbed the stairs in the monitoring room earlier, and his heart was filled with doubt. He rushed up the stairs, but he couldn't see Chen Jiaju anywhere.

"Big brother, please let me go. I can repay you."

"Repay? How can I repay you?"

"How about repaying me with your body?"

"Sure, but let me see your sincerity first—"

When Lu Ming rushed up to the thirtieth floor to check, he suddenly heard two voices coming from one of the rooms.

One of the voices was extremely familiar to him.

Asia Television News reporter – Lok Wai-ching.

Was she one of the people who managed to escape?

Lu Ming's heart stirred. He landed silently and quietly approached the room where the voices were coming from. The door was wide open, and his eagle-eye vision rushed into the room like a drone, clearly seeing the situation inside.

This floor is entirely comprised of one-bedroom apartments.

At this moment, in the living room, Lok Wai-ching, dressed in a light pink backless dress and wearing black gloves, was retreating step by step in front of the thugs who were leering and closing in.

"Little girl, serve me well, and I might spare your life."

The thug leered at the sexy and charming urban woman before him, his body burning with desire, and he couldn't wait to make his move.

“Help!!”

When Yue Huizhen saw the bandits about to pounce on her, she couldn't help but tremble and instinctively screamed.

If anyone comes to save me now, I will repay them with my life.

She prayed fervently, hoping for a miracle.

"Little girl, no matter how much you scream, no one will come to save you. Hehe, I have two guns now. You can choose which one I use to shoot you—"

The bandit, clutching a pistol, chuckled lewdly.

"I, I, I————"

Just then, Yue Huizhen, who had been flustered, suddenly brightened up, her face full of surprise, "I choose the third one!"

"Um!?"

The bandit was taken aback. Where did this third one come from?

boom!boom!

Lu Ming stood behind the bandit, raised his pistol, aimed, and decisively pulled the trigger. With two gunshots, two bloody holes suddenly appeared on the bandit's body.

His eyes widened, and he fell down in disbelief, only to see Lu Ming, who had somehow and unknowingly crept up behind him, before he died.

When did this person appear behind me?

Why didn't I hear any footsteps?

The bandit breathed his last with intense resentment.
