Before everything goes out

A moment ago.

Before the undercurrents began, Niu San was hiding behind a rock.

He covered his head with his hands and tried to curl up his body to avoid any stray bullets that might come flying at him.

He may be a bit reckless, but he's not stupid.

Although he wanted to kill those rings, it was clear that now was not the time for revenge. Even Liu Yongxiao couldn't charge out under the bullets, let alone an ordinary person like him who was a bit stronger.

Cha-cha-cha.

Bullets whistled through the air from all directions.

As the firing continued, the dogs in the camp fell one by one.

Five cakes, patterned crust, symbolizing wealth...

Biaozi, Tiedan, Huoya...

These dogs, whose names he knew, were now a pile of corpses.

Even he felt bad seeing it, let alone Liu Yongxiao, who had raised these dogs single-handedly.

But no way.

No matter how fierce the dogs are normally, in this open field, they can only become live targets for gunfire.

No.

Niu San didn't even have much time to worry about the dog.

He knew in his heart that once all the dogs were dead, the ringmen's guns would be pointed at him.

And all of this has come to this because...

"Li Fei".

Niu San turned his head to look.

Dozens of meters away, amidst a hail of bullets, Li Fei lay prone behind a large tree, looking disheveled.

"If he hadn't lied to us, we wouldn't have fallen into his trap, and those bastards wouldn't have been able to deal with the village chief..."

Thinking of this, Niu San gritted his teeth.

From doubt to disappointment, and then to belated anger.

What he can't stand the most is being deceived.

What's more, it was someone he once thought was a comrade-in-arms.

When he parted ways with Li Fei earlier, the situation was critical. Now, if he were given another chance, he would definitely cut this swindler in two with his own hands.

Or.

He felt that he should have chopped off Li Fei's hands when he was at Wang Guodong's house, otherwise things would have ended up like this.

boom!!

A loud explosion rang out not far away.

Niu San's train of thought was interrupted, and he cautiously peered out from the edge of the rock.

It's a landmine.

Liu Yongxiao stepped on a landmine, was blasted into the air, and then fell heavily back down.

His entire body was studded with steel balls, his skin was torn open, and he was covered in blood.

Strangely, the face studded with steel balls bore a ferocious smile that Niu San had never seen before.

"village head..."

Niu San was slightly taken aback.

Immediately following.

Darkness descended, engulfing everything in sight.

Gunshots, rain, the whimpering of stray dogs...

All sounds vanished into the darkness at the same time, and the surroundings became quiet, a silence that sent chills down Niu San's spine.

"It's so itchy..."

In the darkness, Niu San felt a long-lost itch.

From behind the ears, down the neck, to the back of the hands, and down the calves.

It wasn't an unbearable itch, but rather a sensation like someone was blowing on him.

Thinking of the livestock mutated by the darkness, he quickly took out a torch from his pocket and lit it.

As the flames spread, the itching quickly subsided.

Standing in the limited firelight, Niu San looked around at the darkness, but hesitated briefly.

What should I do?

The thick darkness was enough to block anyone's vision. Although it was unknown how Liu Yongxiao managed to do it, it was undoubtedly a good opportunity to escape.

Should we run?

After a brief hesitation, Niu San pulled out his axe.

His gaze shifted from hesitation to determination.

With an axe in one hand and a torch in the other, he groped his way toward the direction of the rings he remembered.

Avenging his second brother was more important than running away and trying to survive.

The darkness and fog obscured his vision, creating excellent cover for him and providing a rare opportunity for a counterattack.

ten meters.

Twenty meters.

Thirty meters.

He wasn't sure how far he had groped his way in the dark.

soon.

He heard faint gunshots coming from a certain direction.

It's a ring.

He lowered his pace and walked even more quietly, holding the axe in front of him, ready to split open the head of any ring at any moment.

As you pass through the last layer of darkness, the sturdy figure of Huanzi comes into view.

He was holding a rifle and firing at something in the darkness.

"A good opportunity..."

Niu San strode forward, raised his axe, and chopped down hard at the back of the man with the ring.

did not expect.

It could be due to the firelight, or it could be pure intuition.

The moment his axe struck Huanzi's shoulder, Huanzi moved.

This movement caused the axe blade to deflect, missing his intended shoulder and neck strike and instead hitting the ballistic shoulder guard.

嗒。

The axe was deflected.

Huanzi turned around, pointing the gun at Niu San, but as he pulled the trigger, Niu San kicked him aside.

Then, the two started fighting.

Niu San was physically imposing, as strong as a bear, but this ring was no ordinary object either.

Or.

This was one of the strongest men Niu San had ever seen besides himself.

During the struggle, although he had the advantage in strength, he lacked fighting skills and was accidentally hit in the face several times with the butt of a gun, causing blood to spurt from his nose and his vision to be filled with bright red.

at last.

After several difficult rounds, Na Huanzi was exhausted and he seized the opportunity to pin her down.

"Second brother, I'll avenge you right now..."

Seeing Huanzi's terrified face, Niu San raised his axe high, ready to strike.

next second.

A gunshot rang out, interrupting him.

It didn't come from the ring below, but from the side and rear.

Turning my head, I saw the one in the lead, the one called "Captain," named Huanzi.

"Hold..."

A bullet pierced his right arm precisely.

Niu San's arm went limp and slumped down to his side, causing the axe to fall to the ground.

The pain was excruciating, but thankfully my left hand was still usable.

He quickly lay down on the ring and used his left hand to tightly strangle its neck.

Even if he dies, he'll take someone down with him.

"Get the fuck out of my way!"

Fan Yaodong raised his gun and aimed, but hesitated to fire a second shot.

Niu San and his team members were entangled in a fight, and if they were to fire, there was a high chance of friendly fire.

Seeing that his teammate's face was flushed and he was about to suffocate, Fan Yaodong quickly stepped forward and smashed Niu San's head with the butt of his rifle.

a bit.

Two times.

Three times.

After three strikes, Fan Yaodong was astonished.

Even from the perspective of a corrupted body, this bald head is frighteningly hard.

He hammered at him with all his might several times, but the other man didn't loosen his grip; in fact, he tightened his grip even more, seemingly about to sever his teammate's trachea...

no way.

Fan Yaodong could only go around to the side, pull out his pistol and hold it against Niu San's head to avoid accidentally injuring him.

"you..."

Niu San, with a gun pointed at his head, turned around.

In my field of vision, I saw Fan Yaodong's pistol with its long silencer and his finger resting on the trigger, applying slight pressure.

"You can kill me! I'll come back for you even if I become a zombie!"

Faced with imminent death, Niu San did not beg for mercy, but roared out, making Fan Yaodong's chest tremble.

next second.

Gunshots did indeed ring out.

However, it didn't come from the gun in front of him, but from behind Fan Yaodong.

Pfft...

In Niu San's shocked vision, a spurt of blood gushed from Fan Yaodong's neck.

Then, he swayed twice and fell limply to the ground, revealing a face that he knew all too well.
