Chapter 121 - Assassination (1/2)

Lan Qi entered Phoenix City's medical center as if nothing had happened.

Early in the morning, on the day when Zero had been rescued by the Phoenix City Army, Lan Qi had used a fake ID card to enter the city. The ID card was a fake, but it was only when compared to Lan Qi's real identity. In fact, the Dorudev he had used to register was there, but that was just another identity of Lankey's.

The White-headed Eagle was not an easy person to give up on. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the Southwest for five years. The sniping in the wilderness had ended in failure, but that didn't mean that zero's life was guaranteed. Whether it was for revenge or for Sauron's orders, Lan Qi had never thought that he would let this opportunity slip by.

However, he also knew that killing Zergs in Phoenix City was a hundred times more difficult than killing Zergs in the wilderness. After all, Lan Qi couldn't cause too much of a commotion in the city, so the best way was to assassinate him.

He'd been lurking in the city for seven days, and what he did every day was dress up as a different kind of person and go to the hospital, memorizing the entire medical center's plane structure while more Lange tried to understand the zero situation.

The fact that Zero was still alive was beyond Lan Qi's expectations. He had not used a normal sniper rifle, but a armor piercing bullet. Even the composite tank could make a hole in it, and Zero was no exception. Although the shot had missed his heart, even a hole in his chest would have been difficult to survive. But Zero had survived. It had to be called a miracle, only it was a miracle that Lankey hated.

After confirming that Zero had not died, the assassination plan had to be carried out even more quickly.

Lan Qi observed that the surviving Zero was still weak. This could be seen from the daily usage of life-saving drugs and equipment in the hospital. However, after three days, Zero's injuries had already started to improve, which meant that he was in the process of recovering and would be discharged soon.

Once they were released from the hospital, it would be extremely difficult for them to assassinate an outstanding sniper.

So Lange decided to start today. He had a simple but effective plan for this, and now was the time to implement it.

Lan Qi followed a doctor named David, who was a surgeon at the hospital and also a doctor in charge of zero. When Dr. David entered the update room, Lan Qi used the angle and obstacles to follow in. No one noticed the whole process, and it was evident how fast the White-headed Eagle was.

Dr. Davy was alone in the locker room, his eyes red. No one could be better off without a night's rest. Now the doctor just wanted to get home from work and have a good night's sleep, but when he put his work clothes in his personal locker and closed it, he found a man standing next to him without a sound.

”Who are you?” exclaimed Dr. Davy.

Lan Qi smiled and said, ”You don't need to know.”

As he spoke, he quickly struck the doctor's neck with his palm. The palmar border of the hand holds a great force against the great artery of the doctor, halting the supply of blood to the artery. The huge impact immediately stunned the doctor. Lan Qi quickly supported him, preventing his falling body from making too much noise. He tied up the doctor and gagged him. In the end, he was thrown into a storage warehouse large enough to not be discovered even if he were to wake up for a short period of time.

When he was done, Lange took out the doctor's uniform, mask, and work permit and gently closed the door.

By the time Lange emerged from the locker room, he was Dr. Davy.
