Chapter 74
He Linglong was a little anxious seeing those people smoothly enter the fourth underground level, which she had just entered herself because she couldn’t find an access card. Fortunately, before entering, they left a man outside with an access card, ready to cover their retreat at any time. Now, if He Linglong wanted to enter the fourth level, she had to deal with the man at the entrance first. But she looked down at the small handgun in her hand, and then cautiously peeked out to look at the big gun the other guy was holding.
This plan… seemed… a little… difficult…
However, with He Linglong’s skills, and catching him off guard like this, it wasn’t entirely impossible to successfully take out Chen Su.
He Linglong leaned against the corner and thought carefully for a while. Then, she reached into her bag and took out a smoke grenade used for fire drills, pulled the pin, and threw it towards the inside of the tunnel where Chen Su was.
The smoke grenade hissed and spewed out large clouds of white smoke as it drew a thick arc in the air, then landed with a bang and rolled towards Chen Su due to inertia.
While Chen Su was distracted by the smoke grenade, He Linglong took a lateral bow stance, revealing most of her body at the corner of the tunnel, raised her gun, and fired. Two shots rang out, one bullet hitting Chen Su’s thigh, and the other was dodged by him in an unintentional movement.
Chen Su never expected to be ambushed. His mind was still on the people who had entered the gate, and he occasionally glanced at the time displayed on his watch.
When the smoke grenade flew over and landed at his feet, Chen Su had just glanced at the time. He moved his wrist away, and his eyes noticed the sound he had just heard. After a second of Stunned, he quickly retracted his hand, raised his gun, and twisted his body to shoot towards the turn in the tunnel. However, in that second of Stunned, He Linglong’s bullet had already flown halfway across the tunnel, heading straight for his lower body.
Before taking action, He Linglong had already rehearsed the scene in her mind. So, after the bullets were fired, her body didn’t pause for a moment. She immediately performed a sideways roll followed by a lunge, instantly retreating to the corner on the other side of the tunnel.
By this time, the thick smoke from the smoke grenade had filled the entire tunnel.
Chen Su, who had been hit, lost his balance for a moment due to the injury to his thigh, and involuntarily knelt on the ground. The bullets fired from the rifle in his hand naturally all shot into the empty space.
However, in just a moment, he steadied his mind. He quickly threw himself to the ground, extended his uninjured leg, and kicked off the wall on the side, propelling himself sideways and quickly changing his position.
The very next moment after he dodged, two bullets seemed to have eyes, piercing through the thick fog and shooting straight at the spot he had just been in.
He Linglong heard the sound of bullets ricocheting from the corner and knew that the other person had dodged her attack. So, the third time she fired, she still fired two shots, but this time the two shots were fired in two different directions, each taking half of half the width of the tunnel. One shot was to the left, and one shot was to the right. The thick fog obscured their vision, and they could only rely on guesswork to predict each other’s position. But in this situation, He Linglong was clearly in a better position. After all, she only needed to dodge the direction she predicted the other person would shoot from and be ready to retreat to a safe corner at any time, and she could find an opportunity to take him down.
Chen Su also knew that if he stayed where he was due to his injury, he would undoubtedly become an easy target. So, after hearing the sound of being shot at where he dodged, he hurriedly changed his position again. Enduring the pain in his thigh, he curled up and retreated to the middle of the tunnel. At the same time as the bullet shot to his left, he reversed the trajectory of the bullet and fired several shots at the direction from which the bullet came.
Unfortunately, He Linglong had already moved to another place after firing that shot, so all of Chen Su’s attacks fell into empty space.
It was then that Chen Su realized that his bullets seemed to always be a step behind. Gritting his teeth, he stood up while holding onto the gate behind him, moved his position, and launched a furious barrage down the tunnel. He swept all the way, not believing he wouldn’t hit the other person!
However, He Linglong had already retreated back to the corner to reload her clip. Hearing the indiscriminate barrage from the other side, He Linglong simply smirked while reloading. No matter when, offense is the best defense, but if you’re already a step behind from the start, you have to find a way to get the other person into your rhythm, otherwise you’ll always be on the receiving end.
Not only on the battlefield, but also in life. So, being very clear about this, He Linglong has always acted according to her own choices and pace. She doesn’t follow the crowd because of hearsay, nor does she wrong herself because of some general trend. This is also why she didn’t choose to take the civil service exam like everyone else after retiring.
