125: Chapter 125 Annihilation 125: Chapter 125 Annihilation Hei, although not yet completely breathless, lay on the ground with more breaths leaving than entering.
Looking at the bullet hole in his left chest, right over his heart, anyone with the slightest bit of common sense could tell that with such a wound, the man before them was beyond saving.
When Sun Jinzhong pulled the trigger, he hadn’t thought too much, but now, as he realized he might have truly killed a man, he began to lose his composure.
“Brother Zhong, be careful…” Chen Hai, who had been keeping an eye on Wu, changed his expression and uttered a warning.
Almost at the same time, Wu dropped the short blade he held and, pretending to comply obediently by hiding his head and squatting on the ground, he suddenly sprang forth with a ferocious look on his face.
His calloused hand grabbed Sun Jinzhong’s wrist.
With a twist, Sun Jinzhong could no longer hold onto the Wang Ba Box gun, and it was flung away.
Wu, a man used to manual labor all year round, was truly stronger than either Sun Jinzhong or Chen Hai could compare to.
Seized by the wrist, Sun Jinzhong exerted all his strength until his face turned red and ears grew hot, but his resistance proved utterly ineffective.
When Wu pulled out another dagger and held it at Sun Jinzhong’s throat, his face turned deathly pale, and he dared not move an inch!
“Let him go, or I’ll shoot you dead right now!”
In a quick stride, Chen Hai had reached the spot where the Wang Ba Box gun had been thrown.
Picking up the gun, he aimed it at Wu and shouted indignantly.
“You think I’m a fool, Chen?
If I let him go, will you spare my life?”
“If you’ve got the guts, just shoot, and I’ll be damned if I even frown—I’ll not be a man otherwise!”
“I have your cousin here, right?
Even if I die, dragging him down with me is worth it!”
With a sinister laugh, Wu’s dagger pressed slightly harder.
Blood began to seep slowly from the spot on Sun Jinzhong’s neck where the dagger was pointed.
Sun Jinzhong’s body trembled visibly with pallor, yet he clenched his teeth and remained silent the entire time.
Faced with this situation, Chen Hai also didn’t dare to act rashly.
After all, when it came to marksmanship, he was a complete amateur.
Even though Wu was only six or seven meters away, if Chen Hai really dared to shoot, he couldn’t guarantee where the bullet would end up!
“What exactly do you want, Wu?” Taking a deep breath, Chen Hai glared at Wu and demanded angrily.
I should be asking you two what you want instead!”
Wu chuckled coldly and continued, “I know you have some spells that helped you track me down all the way from Liuyuan County.
That must be the power of your spells.”
“I admit I’ve broken the law, but compared to me, you two aren’t that much better.”
“After all, Hei died at your hands, and nobody gave you the right to kill!”
“If this gets out to the police, neither of us is going to end up well!”
“How about we both step back?
I’ll give you half of the money back, and you let me go, no more pursuit of this matter.
He didn’t mention the impossible demand of Chen Hai giving up his weapon and surrendering.
In his view, as long as Chen Hai truly cared about the life of his cousin Sun Jinzhong, the proposal he was making had a certain possibility of success.
“My cousin killed in self-defense; even if this goes to the police, at most, it would be considered excessive defense, and he might get a few years at most!”
If you’re caught, you’re definitely looking down a dead-end street.”
“You want to negotiate terms?
Fine, let him go first!” Staring coldly at Wu, Chen Hai ordered in a firm tone.
Do you think I’m an idiot?”
“Without a hostage, how do I know you won’t just shoot me on a whim?”
Wu sneered and then said, “If you’re willing to agree to my suggestion, you can come back to the hotel with me!”
“You can take half the money first, but as for the man, he’ll have to wait until I’m out of here and sure of my safety before I’ll let him go.”
Chen Hai heard these words and frowned in silence.
The Wu in front of him was extremely vicious, a downright desperado.
To let him take away his cousin Sun Jinzhong, who knew if he would kill Sun Jinzhong halfway there.
The suggestion he just made, Chen Hai didn’t even have to think about it; deep down, he had already rejected it.
“Chen, I’ve laid out the conditions for you!”
“If you’re willing to agree, then all is good.”
“If you don’t want to accept my terms, then fine, your cousin can keep me company in death!” ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵
With the attitude of a pig not afraid of boiling water, Wu continued to threaten.
In his hands, the hostage, Sun Jinzhong, wanted to say something tough, but unfortunately, his teeth were chattering so much he couldn’t even open his mouth to speak.
“Wu, do you really think you’ve got me cornered just because you’ve captured my cousin?”
“Take a look behind you, what’s there?”
Chen Hai, after a moment of silence, suddenly smirked strangely, and then his whole body seemed to freeze.
“Chen, trying to fool me with this old trick, is it really that interesting…”
Wu sneered disdainfully.
The next moment, he felt a chiiling breeze and an inexplicable coldness surged into his heart.
Without turning his head completely, he just tilted his head slightly.
In his line of sight, he saw a dense swarm of leeches sweeping towards him, covering the sky.
In this remote wilderness, anyone who suddenly saw this scene would definitely find it hard to stay calm and composed.
Wu, vicious as he was, let out a yelp of surprise as he encountered this scene and began to frantically slap himself all over, jumping around.
As for Sun Jinzhong, Wu pushed him to the ground on impulse.
Sun Jinzhong, who had just a moment ago been on the verge of wetting himself from fear with Wu’s dagger at his neck, finally escaped his predicament.
He rolled and crawled towards Chen Hai.
Wu’s reaction was merely the natural response of conditioned reflex.
After all, in his eyes, countless leeches just now had landed on him, biting his flesh.
When he realized that Sun Jinzhong had escaped his control, he instantly knew something was wrong.
Bang…” Several gunshots rang out.
By the time Wu wanted to do anything else, it was already too late.
His consciousness was rapidly becoming blurry.
