Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238 – Have You Been Discovered?
Chapter 1238 Have You Been Discovered?
Unlike those fanatics who were completely unafraid of death, even though the man with the cane had already made up his mind to join them and become one of them, he was still a rational and ordinary person until the ceremony was completed, of course, he didn’t want to risk his life.
Therefore, he didn’t go downstairs. Instead, he took advantage of the intense battle below to grab his shotgun and sneak into the corridor. He picked a spot where Zhang Heng could be seen without being noticed and set up his gun.
All these years, he had been plagued by nightmares. In order to prevent himself from falling into madness, he did not dare to interact with the outside world. He was afraid that if he learned more about that thing, he would not be able to watch TV or surf the Internet, therefore, hunting became his biggest pastime. In the end, his marksmanship had improved a lot, which was a form of consolation.
However, after witnessing the battle between Zhang Heng and the Zealots, he was still able to divert his attention to Olai and Alicia’s situation even though they were surrounded. The man with the crutches knew that he was no match for Zhang Heng in terms of marksmanship.
This was also the reason why he chose to launch a sneak attack. Furthermore, he was very patient. He waited until Zhang Heng’s pistol was out of bullets and put it away before making his move.
Even though this way, at least a dozen more fanatics would die, it would still further ensure his safety. Since the fanatics themselves did not care about their own lives.., the people with crutches had no reason to worry about them. However, when Zhang Heng started killing with his knife, the people with crutches knew that the opportunity they had been waiting for had finally arrived.
The distance between the two sides was about 20 meters. At this distance, he might not be able to hit Zhang Heng’s vitals, but it was almost impossible for him to miss.

In any case, there was no difference. With the power of a shotgun bullet, as long as it hit, the battle would basically be over. Moreover, there were still so many fanatics who were eyeing them like tigers watching their prey. There was no need to worry about not being able to finish them off.
The man on crutches half-knelt on the ground, reloaded his gun, and aimed at his target. But the next moment, his eyelids twitched, because he saw Zhang Heng suddenly raise his head and look in his direction.
Had he been discovered?
The man on crutches was amazed by the man’s terrifying observation, but so what? No matter how good Zhang Heng’s knife skills were, with the distance between the two of them, it was impossible for him to fly over and cut him down. However, the man on crutches also felt a sense of foreboding. He made up his mind at that moment.
Only one shot! Once the first shot failed to kill the target, he would no longer linger in the fight. He would turn around and run. He didn’t care if those fanatics were dead or alive, but if that happened, his identity would be exposed, he would no longer be able to run the museum.
Although he was not interested in art, after all, he had been working for so many years, he was still a little reluctant.
With this thought in mind, he had already reached his finger to the trigger, but then he saw the uninvited guest downstairs put away a small knife and pulled out the pistol at his waist.
The speed at which the other party pulled out the gun was unbelievably fast. It was comparable to the western cowboy in the movie. He was one step behind him, but his finger was one step ahead of him.
Many thoughts flashed through the man’s mind. He had enough reasons to suspect that the man was bluffing. He had seen it clearly in the surveillance footage, zhang Heng had put away his gun after killing about a dozen fanatics. If he hadn’t run out of bullets, he wouldn’t have done it.

However, after witnessing Zhang Heng’s knife skills, the man with the crutches began to doubt his theory. These thoughts flashed through his mind. He knew that he had no time and had to make a decision immediately.
Therefore, at the next moment, the man on crutches gave up on shooting and fell back to the ground. As his body fell to the ground, a bullet hit his original position.
The man on crutches felt a lingering fear. He knew that if he had not given up at the last moment, he would have become a corpse by now. At the same time, he was also surprised that the man down there really had bullets in his gun.
There were a total of 15 bullets in the magazine of the Beretta M92F pistol. Previously, Zhang Heng had fired 12 shots, but now, including this gun, he still had two bullets. This was one reason why he kept these bullets in case anything happened, another reason was that Zhang Heng really did not need them.
He had only fired to save Olai and Alicia. After clearing out the fanatics around them, he put the gun away because it was more convenient for him to use a knife. As for the sneak attack on the second floor, Zhang Heng had already been waiting for it.
Olai and Alicia had obviously fallen into a trap. Olai might have been a little reckless, but Alicia was still quite cautious. Logically speaking, the two of them should not have fallen into an ambush like this, it was obvious that they had been set up. These fanatics were not afraid of death, but it would be difficult for them to play any tricks.
Therefore, there must be a commander behind them. Zhang Heng was worried that the commander had run away, but at that moment, he realized that someone was secretly aiming at him on the second floor. However, that person’s reaction was quite fast, when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately hid again.
However, what Zhang Heng did not know was that the person with the crutch was feeling extremely regretful. He could have left quietly while Zhang Heng was fighting with those fanatics, but he insisted on using his cheap hands to shoot the black gun.
In the end, the black gun missed and exposed his position. Therefore, he could only try his best to lower his body and crawl on the ground so that Zhang Heng could not see him. He crawled toward the safe passage.
In order to climb as fast as possible, he threw away the shotgun in his hand because he knew that after Zhang Heng dealt with the fanatics below, he would not be a match for them in a head-on battle, the only way for him to survive was to leave this place before the battle ended.
He did the same thing. He crawled all the way to the safe passage using both hands and feet. Then, he used his crutch to escape to the parking lot. He could not hear anything from the safe passage, so he did not know what was going on outside, he didn’t expect the fanatics to be able to kill Zhang Heng. He only hoped that they could stop Zhang Heng for a little longer so that he could get into the car.
However, when he went down the stairs to the first floor, he saw a figure at the end of the passage.
The person with the crutches looked at Zhang Heng in disbelief. He didn’t expect the other party to be so fast, and the fanatics were so useless. They didn’t even last a minute.
Just as he was wondering if Zhang Heng would kill him, Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows and called out a name that no one had called out for a long time.
“Sachus?”

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).
