Chapter 226: Slaying_2
However, looking at the Capital Commandant, who was still standing upright despite being shot in the chest and even feeling the boiling murderous aura coming head-on, the Male Waiter was truly and utterly shocked this time!
The next moment, a dark shadow suddenly rushed in front of him!
The palm knife, still dripping blood, brought up a wind that blew his hair as the Male Waiter quickly bent backwards, his heels as if glued to the ground, his whole body's center of gravity tilting downwards, his back almost touching the floor yet still firmly upright.
Gunshots also sounded in sync, with the Capital Commandant missing his shot and rotating his body to dodge the bullet, sweeping his leg toward the Male Waiter while doing so. Enjoy more content from empire
The latter slapped the ground with his left palm, and in an instant, his whole body lightly soared into the air, raising the gun to pull the trigger again without pausing, and upon landing, quickly fired another shot!
"Bang!"
The Male Waiter had never expected to actually hit the Capital Commandant; he just wanted to buy himself time to create some distance.
However, when the second shot whizzed past, the Capital Commandant, who was originally dodging, seemed to slow down a bit, allowing his thigh to be instantly penetrated by the bullet, staggering his forward charge slightly.
Particles of white powder floated in the air, intermingled with the smoke from explosions and the dust from the ground, making it unclear what other substances were present in the mottled air.
Shortly after the confusion, the Male Waiter realized something and reflexively covered his nose, but he had already taken an All-Purpose Detox Pill when he first saw the soldiers' dire conditions.
Manager Zhang must have a corresponding way to deal with it, but...
Shocked! Was the Capital Commandant surviving up until now solely on his own constitution?
Up until now, the Male Waiter still hadn't figured out whether the Capital Commandant was a player or the main boss of this scene. The fact that the other party had just been hit meant either there was no antidote available, or the antidote had expired.
The Capital Commandant frowned slightly, and slowed his breathing.
Both men proved to be more troublesome and durable than he had anticipated; hence, failing to take them out in a timely manner inevitably affected his body.
He looked towards the Male Waiter not far away, who promptly retreated several steps in vigilance.
Even though the Capital Commandant seemed limited in his movements now, the Male Waiter still had no thoughts of approaching him, in case he suddenly lunged for an attack!
He just cautiously watched, ready to stop the Capital Commandant if he tried to retreat, or to retreat himself if the Capital Commandant attacked!
He planned to quietly wait until the other's strength was exhausted.
...
The Male Waiter's plan seemed perfect, until a sniper bullet tore through the air towards him, this sniper shot was much more accurate, and if he didn't evade, it would definitely hit him.
"Damn it!"
The Male Waiter, dodging the bullet just in time, cursed under his breath and without hesitation raised his handgun, pulling the trigger in that direction!
The distance of a hundred meters was just at the limit!
However— as his bullet flew out, another bullet came from the opposite direction colliding with it mid-air, with fragments bursting and scattering.
Following that explosion, another bullet cut through the swirling dust and debris!
A trailing shot!
The Male Waiter's face turned pale with fright, things before his eyes seemed to slow down infinitely in that instant, and he let go of his gun just before the bullet collided with its muzzle, simultaneously throwing himself to the ground!
Boom!
His Desert Eagle exploded in mid-air, struck by the sniper bullet in the chamber.
The next moment, the Male Waiter decisively rolled behind a nearby broken wall, swiftly disappearing into the heavy night.
Not far away on the rooftop, Xu Shuo set down his sniper rifle.
He knew that the Male Waiter probably hadn't strayed far from this place, but after that scare, the latter probably wouldn't dare to come near for the time being.
Xu Shuo discarded the sniper rifle, jumped off the rooftop, picked up his medical kit, and walked towards the center of the battlefield.
...
The Capital Commandant was pressing down on his chest wound, and when he perceived movement behind him, his sharp gaze shot in that direction.
Seeing Doctor Kong approaching with an urgent expression on his face, the Capital Commandant maintained an emotionless facade, but as the other drew near, he suddenly lashed out to grab his neck, tightening his fingers.
"Cough..." Unprepared, Xu Shuo raised the medical box in his hands, "Capital Commandant, I'm here to help you with your wound."
The Capital Commandant stared at him darkly, not speaking, but the hand tightening around the neck continued to squeeze.
Xu Shuo had no choice but to add, "I have a way to detoxify you, and I can also concoct a remedy for this contagion."
Even if the Capital Commandant didn't need help himself, District Thirteen—or the area affected by the contagion—required it, and those soldiers needed it even more!
Hearing this, the Capital Commandant's grip loosened slightly.
Following that, as if triggering a chain reaction, the Capital Commandant's gaze grew vacant for a moment, rapidly releasing his grip to cover his mouth and nose, frowning deeply, his expression seeming as if he was trying desperately to endure something.
Xu Shuo, looking serious, spoke up, "Capital Commandant, actually, it would feel better to let it out."
But no, the Capital Commandant suppressed it.
The dust contained a small amount of nerve-hallucinogenic ingredient, which affected the brain, so when Xu Shuo took out his acupuncture needles, he hesitated before saying, "I am going to touch your head next."
A man with serious injuries is highly alert to everything, his bodily instincts sharper than ever, especially the highly suspicious Capital Commandant.
If it wasn't clear, this man with extremely strong defenses would likely strangle him the moment he laid a hand on him.
As expected, the Capital Commandant cast a chilly glance his way.
Xu Shuo, feeling hopeless, said, "I need to stimulate your body's acupoints to expel the toxin, don't worry, it will not cause any pain or discomfort."
