Chapter 1263 (1/2)
Chapter 402 - Sitting Snipe
If one were to look from the outside, the entire building of the Royal Clubhouse would be enveloped in smoke. A cloud of pungent smoke rose from the upstairs window, from the slowly opening door, and the onlookers were shocked to see it.
Some people had already dialed the fire escape number, but after a while, they were still unable to arrive in time. People were discussing outside, and did not dare to rashly rush in.
Amongst the crowd, there were a few people who seemed very special. Their faces were serious, their eyes were serious, and they had a kind of intrepid aura that could not be concealed.
If one looked closely, they would notice that around the Royal Clubhouse, there were seven or eight people like that. Some of them stood together, while some of them were by themselves.
If one were to look from above, they would be able to clearly see that these people stood not far from the Royal Clubhouse. Moreover, they stood at different intersections around it.
In other words, if they were very valiant, they could completely seal off the entire Royal Clubhouse!
At an intersection that was around one to two hundred meters away from the Royal Clubhouse, two men were discussing in a low voice.
”Something has happened!” One of them said in a low voice.
”Yeah, something must have happened inside. Did you hear the gunshot?” Another person said, ”I guess it's not a small matter!”
”What should we do? Do you want to go in and take a look? ”
The other person shook his head and said, ”No, we have received orders to seal off all the crossroads, preventing even flies from flying out of the Royal Clubhouse! At the same time, we must defend this place and one more person … ”
The man in the lead could only nod. He knew that once they went in, there would be no one guarding the intersection. If someone slipped away, the mission would be a failure. As a soldier, it was his duty to obey orders!
”The one we want to pick up is the person who just entered, right? ”He's still inside …”
”Perform your orders strictly!” Chief must have his reasons for telling us this. As for the other matters, we'll talk about the other matters after we settle this one! ”
”... ”Yes!”
Dialogue like this happened at the same time at other crossroads. However, in the end, all of them chose to strictly carry out their orders. They would be the first to complete the task!
Furthermore, the chief had repeatedly warned them before they arrived that their mission was to receive a young man to protect the safety of the ma.s.ses within their capabilities. Apart from that, they had to strictly carry out the orders!
In truth, they didn't quite understand. Since their leader had asked them to come and receive him, then it meant that the Royal Clubhouse was definitely not a good place. And that person had actually barged in by himself earlier.
… ….
At this moment, the interior of the Royal Clubhouse looked even worse than the exterior.
The entire hall had been set ablaze. The tables, chairs and the like that were originally placed in the hall were all combustible. Soon, the fire spread all the way to the second floor and third floor …
In the hall, the smoke was so thick that it was hard to see anything clearly. Even breathing was difficult.
However, Ji Feng was still crouched behind the stone pillar next to the door, holding his rifle up.
This was his cleverness. The hall was filled with thick smoke, and he was at the door. Although it was hard for him to breathe, it wasn't too bad either because he could breathe the fresh air at the door!
As he squatted, he avoided the vast majority of the smoke, and his breathing was much smoother than when he was standing.
… …. Anyone who had seen the scene of the fire should know that when there was a fire, the smoke would always rise upwards. The air was usually the best where the smoke was kept close to the ground.
Of course, in a sealed s.p.a.ce, even sticking close to the ground wouldn't be possible. On one hand, people would be hypoxic and have difficulty breathing due to the intense burning. On the other hand, if the smoke couldn't escape, people would choke to death!
As for Ji Feng who was squatting at the entrance, he didn't seem to be injured at all!
In the training s.p.a.ce, Ji Feng had gone through countless training sessions related to escaping from danger. Hence, in the shortest amount of time, he found the safest spot.
As for spreading the news …
If they only wanted to escape, then there was no need for Ji Feng to create such a huge commotion.
What he wanted was to kill everyone here. No matter who they were, he would not allow himself to experience humiliation again!
Ji Feng was still squatting at the entrance with a sharp look in his eyes.
The people upstairs now only have two choices. Either they think of every possible way to get out, or they stay there and burn to death or choke to death. There is no other way!
”Deng deng deng …”
The sound of hurried footsteps rang out. Finally, someone could no longer hold it in and began to rush out.
”Tututututu …!” The sounds of gunfire rang out, but these people were not stupid. As they rushed out, they kept firing, just in case someone tried to ambush them.
The distance from the staircase to the door was only a few dozen meters. As long as he ran over, he would be able to survive!
He could see four or five figures rus.h.i.+ng down from the second floor, trying their best to escape.
”Bam!”
In a split-second, the sound of gunfire rang out. The person in front fell headfirst to the ground. This person had been shot in the head with a gunshot.
However, the rest of them didn't stop at all. It was as if they didn't see their comrade get shot, and continued to rush outside. It wasn't because they were frightened, but because they knew that they had no way to counterattack. They had to escape!
