C215 (2/2)
Zhang Jun chose the building in the middle. It was probably because it had just been completed, and there was not enough time to clean it. Carrying Cao Jia on his back, Zhang Jun tiptoed and silently rushed into the building like a wandering soul. Borrowing the faint light of a large searchlight from afar, Zhang Jun carefully found the stairs and rushed up while holding in his breath.
He didn't know how many floors there were in this building, but the already heavily injured Zhang Jun was unable to hold on any longer. He put down Cao Jia and sat paralyzed on the ground, gasping for air like a wild bull.
Seeing Zhang Jun whose pale face was drenched in cold sweat, Cao Jia felt his heart ache. He reached out to wipe his perspiring sweat and consoled, ”We're hiding here, someone will come to save us soon. Although Su Xiang has left, they know our location, they will find out about it very soon.”
Zhang Jun panted, ”Hopefully.” He gripped the military knife that he just snatched from that warrior and used all his strength to prop himself up.
Cao Jia promptly supported him and grumbled, ”What are you doing? Take a rest first.”
Zhang Jun did not say a word. He supported himself on the wall as they slowly walked towards the edge of the building.
Seeing that Zhang Jun was even ignoring him, Cao Jia felt a burst of heartache and said in a low voice, ”I'm talking to you.”
Zhang Jun unwittingly interrupted him, and continued to move outwards along the wall. While hidden in the shadows, he took advantage of the weak lights to look outside, causing Zhang Jun to immediately frown. There's quite a few people from Life-death Gang here, come and take a look. ”
Cao Jia rubbed his nose, grinned, and then quietly went over to Zhang Jun. Seeing this, Cao Jia could not help but let out a cry of surprise. This... Why are there so many people? ”
Looking down from above, there were at least forty armed men carefully making their way over. At this moment, the forty assassins split into four groups and started searching the four buildings.
Zhang Jun's face was full of seriousness as he looked Cao Jia in the eye, ”Are these assassins from Life-death Gang? When did they arrange for this place to be located in Zhejiang? Why didn't our intelligence team notice it at all? ”
”No, the agents don't have any information on that, but from the looks of it, they look like Vietnamese.”
”Vietnam... Gannicus? Could it be Gannicus? Wait, isn't that guy at Golden Triangle? Why would he appear here? ”
Cao Jia slowly shook his head, ”It is very likely that Life-death Gang used Poison Owl Gannicus to direct this assassination.”
”It's impossible for them not to know that we've caused such a huge commotion. I forgot this, my mistake. ”
Cao Jia's expression was also bitter: ”We've been really too busy recently, there's too many things to consider.”
”After taking in a deep breath, Zhang Jun's expression turned dark and fierce. As long as we escape tonight, from tomorrow onwards, I will kill all these annoying flies. ”
Cao Jia shook her head and lowered her voice, ”We have to think over this matter carefully, the number of assassins in Life-death Gang is not a small number, if you kill a group of them, they will send more, the number and quality of the assassins will also increase, but once we completely infuriate the Life-death Gang, it will be troublesome.”
Zhang Jun gave a low snort. ”Don't worry, my Life-death Gang will soon reach its limits, if I am able to live past tonight, I will tell you the specific reason.”
Cao Jia still wanted to ask something, but suddenly Zhang Jun reached out and covered her mouth.
”Shh …” ”It's here …”
Although the huge construction machine in the distance caused the empty building to reverberate with muffled rumbling sounds, the two of them could still make out the sound of a few footsteps coming closer and closer. There were even a few hurried but still careful footsteps running up the stairs; it seemed like they wanted to search around one floor at a time.
Zhang Jun gestured for Cao Jia to move to the side, he tightly held onto the blade in his hand and leaned against the still wet wall, quietly and motionlessly.
His slightly narrowed eyes glowed with a sharp light, like a leopard lying in wait for an antelope in the underbrush.
”Sha …” Sand... ”Rustle …” While quietly waiting, Zhang Jun's ears could only hear the locked onto footsteps in his mind.
After waiting for twenty minutes, Zhang Jun's target finally arrived at the other side of the wall, and he slowly approached Zhang Jun's location.
Zhang Jun's forehead started to drip sweat and his mind was stretched to the limit.
Cao Jia, who was at the side, was also extremely tense, his eyes unblinkingly staring at the black hole in the door beside Zhang Jun. She also understood that if Zhang Jun couldn't subdue someone in the blink of an eye, that person would definitely let out a blood-curdling scream. Although the roars of machines echoed inside the building, to these assassins who had sharp hearing, screaming would easily attract the attention of the assassins nearby. In less than ten minutes, they would definitely be surrounded, and their fate of death would be sealed.
Half a minute later, the assassin appeared at the door of the empty room. Perhaps the assassin had a sense of crisis or something had caught his attention.
The footsteps stopped just as they were about to enter the room.
This sudden turn of events made Zhang Jun's taut heartstrings twist once again. It was as if the entire world had frozen at this moment, and he stood there holding his breath.
One second, two seconds, three seconds … This situation was as long as a day for Zhang Jun.
However, right at this moment, Cao Jia, who was crouching at the side and waiting with rapt attention, could it be because he was too nervous, that baby-arm-like stick that he had picked up from somewhere had mysteriously snapped!
”Crack!” This clear cracking sound not only made Cao Jia himself cry out, it also made Zhang Jun and the killer at the other side of the wall shiver. This clear cracking sound was like thunder in the clear sky to the two of them who were extremely tense!
