Chapter 992: Professional And Cautious

Chapter 992: Professional And Cautious

The boy in the baseball cap walked steadily to the alley and glanced with the corner of his eyes. He felt a little surprised because Zhang Heng and Feng Zi had disappeared.

The boy was taken aback, not expecting to come across such a circumstance. However, being a professional, He quickly composed himself, raised his head, and looked at the school in the distance as he stood in the dark.

Just when he thought if he should get closer, he received a message from the group chat. No. 7 and No. 5 were coming to assist him. As they asked for his coordinates, they also told him that they would get to him within a quarter of an hour.

So the boy immediately sent the address of the school to his allies. After that, he opened the navigation application and checked the nearby street map. He realized that the school had two doors. The side door was facing the alley while the other was facing the main road.

The boy frowned. Judging by their actions, he quickly figured out the duo’s plan. They wanted to pass through this school, enter through the side entrance and leave by the front door. This was indeed a handy method to get rid of pursuers. However, it did not mean that they realized that someone was following them. Precisely, it was an effective way to get rid of any potential stalkers.

The boy knew that Zhang Heng’s stealth ability was excellent after he examined Red’s body. Hence, he was not surprised that his opponent would also possess anti-reconnaissance awareness. If Zhang Heng behaved normally, the boy would think that he had been discovered.

Then, now, he had to face another problem. Knowing that Zhang Heng and Feng Zi were going to use the school to get out of their sticky situation, he thought whether he should obey the captain’s orders, which was to stay here to wait for No. 7 and No. 5 or go after them himself.

He did not hesitate for too long before he made a decision, swiftly deciding to enter the alley after them. Zhang Heng and Feng Zi might be gone by the time No. 5 and No. 7 got here. By that time, the three of them would only be staring at each other, with nothing more to be done about the problem.

After witnessing how Zhang Heng killed Red, the boy was slightly afraid of Zhang Heng’s swordsmanship and assassination skills. In his opinion, as long as he did not come into close contact with Zhang Heng, he should be safe.

Right after that, the boy took out a pistol from his waist. The next moment, he turned into a cheetah, walking against the shadow of the wall, and entered the school with his dextrous movements.

The boy was in no hurry to make a move, carefully observing his surroundings instead, ensuring he scanned all possible hiding spots. After that, he designed the best route he could take in his mind. The route allowed him to avoid all the potential hiding spots as much as possible. He also had to confirm he had enough time to pull the trigger if he got ambushed.

On the rooftop of the teaching building, Zhang Heng and Feng Zi, lying on their stomachs, witnessed a magical scene.

They saw the boy in the baseball cap trotting along, turned sideways, stood up, and looked around. With a gun in hand, he barely walked in a straight line. Although the destination was less than thirty meters away, he trotted in a big circle and walked a few times diagonally before getting to where he wanted to go.

“What the hell has he been he smoking? Is he here to entertain us?” Feng Zi was puzzled.

“He’s not having a convulsion or performing. He’s worried that I might ambush him. The way he’s moving allows him to eliminate every potential threat. Other than that, he is constantly changing his field of vision while observing places he couldn’t see before,” Zhang Heng explained. “He is actually quite professional and cautious.”

“Professional and cautious? I think you are trying to say he has a good imagination,” Feng Zi laughed.

Zhang Heng did not explain further. He had already picked up the stun gun he had just assembled with Lego. After that, he inserted the Infinite Building Block to materialize the stun gun.

Feng Zi was left in bewilderment when she saw what he did.

“What kind of black technology is this? Is it modular technology? Transformable material? Memory metal? I have never seen such a transformation before.”

“Neither. It’s a supernatural force,” Zhang Heng admitted.

Feng Zi harrumphed, “It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. It’s not like I’m going to steal your skill anyway…”

But less than half a second later, she regretted what she said and asked curiously, “Well, I want what you have. Where did you get such a good thing? Can you let me study it for two days?”

“Sorry. You won’t learn a single thing from it even if you study it for a lifetime.” Zhang Heng then raised the stun gun in his hand and aimed at the boy in the baseball cap downstairs.

Just before Zhang Heng pulled the trigger, the boy fell to the ground.

“Did you manage to hit him?” Feng Zi asked on the side.

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Heng pushed her down, and the guardrail in front of them was hit by flying bullets, creating a string of sparks.

Feng Zi inhaled sharply, asking, “How did he know we are hiding here?”

“The reflection of my gun barrel probably exposed our spot. The moon at the second level is quite bright,” Zhang Heng said.

“Just because of that small reflection, he managed to find out where we hid?”

Earlier, Feng Zi thought that the boy was acting funny, but she dared not underestimate him anymore. With wide eyes, she stammered, “What kind of marksmanship is that?”

As soon as she finished, she saw Zhang Heng lifting the stun gun. He bent down, walked to the fire ladder, saying, “Wait for me here. Remember not to raise your head no matter what you hear. After I deal with him, I will signal you to come downstairs.”

“What are you doing?”

“There is only one tranquilizer shot in the stun gun. I have to make sure I hit him,” Zhang Heng said casually.

“What do you mean by hitting him?”

“In layman’s terms, it means I have to get closer to him.”

“Are you crazy? Didn’t you see how he was shooting?! He almost killed us!”

Feng Zi could not understand why Zhang Heng had to take such a deadly risk. First, there was only one bullet in the stun gun. Then, considering the enemy’s remarkable marksmanship, and since the tranquilizer round was more powerful than an actual bullet, the best thing they could do right now was to stay and wait for the enemy to come upstairs.

However, Zhang Heng knew that the emergency response team had more than two members.

“Don’t worry. I can handle him.”

Zhang Heng climbed down the fire ladder.

Not long afterward, Feng Zi, on the rooftop, heard a few gunshots again. Every gunshot made her more and more nervous. However, she still remembered Zhang Heng’s warning. So, she resisted the urge to lift her head to check them out.

After that, she heard the gunfire getting more intense on the first floor. Half a minute later, the gunshots stopped.

Feng Zi’s heart crunched up in a bunch, wondering if Zhang Heng was dead or alive.
