The corridor that was supposed to be silent and dark was suddenly broken by light and noise. Holding a flashlight, Richard was currently searching carefully with his brows furrowed, pushing open the door of the passing room from time to time in the corridor.

There is no doubt that in order to find the fabric rope that can bind the ladder as soon as possible, the security captain who has participated in the war has tried his best and is frantically searching alone in the huge north area of ​​the first floor. To be honest, like other security guards,

Even though he is the most skilled and courageous among all security guards

One, but Richard didn't dare to go to the second floor. After all, he was also afraid of death, so he would not go to the second floor unless he had no choice but to know that there were beetles on the second floor. This is also why he

The reason why we are still on the first floor is true, but unfortunately...

As time went by, as he passed through various corridors one after another, after constantly opening the doors along the way and observing the room environment, Richard gradually frowned deeper and deeper, and his inner uneasiness became stronger and stronger, which made him more and more nervous.

The reason for uneasiness is precisely that the search was fruitless.

Walking along the corridor, Richard was very careful. He opened the door and looked at almost every room. He was very careful, but no matter where he searched, what he saw was always useless things or piles of stuff.

Weapons warehouses were either empty houses. Although some rooms were scattered with shabby furniture, there were only no ropes or fabrics and clothes that could be used to make ropes. In fact, seeing this, Richard thought

I vaguely guessed the reason. The reason is not that there is no fabric on the first floor, but that it has been cleaned by humans. In order not to affect the visual sense of tourists, unlike the already tidy second and third floors, the museum has most likely been cleaned before.

On the first floor of the castle, which is the messiest, the shabby fabrics and broken furniture that had no ornamental value due to the erosion of time were sorted and cleared away. In the end, only the armory and some well-preserved furniture items were left. If this is the case, then...

"There is nothing we can do. It seems we have to go to the second floor."

At this moment, standing in an empty room, Richard murmured to himself and decided to go upstairs alone to take risks. The idea was the same, and the reality was the same, and Richard was indeed a very courageous soldier.

As soon as he made up his mind, the man gritted his teeth and turned around to go out. Yes, he no longer planned to continue doing useless work on the first floor. At the same time, he also did not plan to force the timid team members. He wanted to go to the second floor alone to find ropes.

Risk your life for all the security guards.

only……

clatter.

He turned around and walked a few steps, that is, at the moment when Richard had just stepped out of the door, whether it was an illusion or other reasons, he smelled a smell that was very familiar to him.

The smell of blood!

Yes, just now, just as he stepped out of the room and the others were about to leave, he smelled the smell of blood in his nose. A faint smell of blood filled his nose. Because the smell was light and not obvious, others might not be able to detect it, but

As a retired veteran who had slept in a pile of corpses, Richard could clearly smell it. No, not only he smelled blood, he also heard a whistling sound caused by moving too fast!

Next…

brush!

Richard moved, bowing his head and bending by instinct without thinking, and made an evasive action in just one second! During the evasion, he saw a dagger, a dagger with a cold light shining under the flashlight.

The sword passed over the head, and the one who controlled the dagger was a hand stained with blood!

Sneak attack!

Someone attacked me secretly, and someone actually planned to kill me!?

Relying on a soldier's keen sense of danger, Richard narrowly avoided attack after attack, barely escaping the fatal blow that should have cut his throat. However, escaping the attack did not mean that he had saved his life, nor did it mean that the matter was over.

!

"Yeah!"

Xu Shi didn't expect that the other party had successfully dodged the dagger. On the opposite side, the sneak attacker was stunned for a moment. However, it was precisely because of his surprise that Richard found the opportunity in a flash of lightning. He didn't even think about it, or even thought about it.

After he stabilized his body, the man roared and immediately counterattacked. His left hand touched the back of his waist with lightning, and his right hand gathered into a fist and suddenly raised it, hitting the opponent's chin with the most standard uppercut.

Unfortunately, Richard failed. It is true that the attacker was stunned for a moment, but the opponent also reacted very quickly. In fact, when Richard roared and punched to fight back, the opponent had already broken free and recovered.

After that, he retreated hastily at a speed not inferior to his own. While adjusting his body and retreating hastily, he put his hands into his arms!

Oops!

Realizing that the other party had reached into his arms, Richard secretly exclaimed that something was wrong. His left hand, which he had hesitated to reach to his waist just now, broke free and moved quickly. With lightning speed, he drew out his pistol, took aim, and shot!

Similarly, at the same second that Richard pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger, the sniper on the opposite side also pulled out his pistol at exactly the same speed and immediately pulled the trigger without saying a word!

Bang! Bang!

For a moment, with two roaring gunshots, the two sides aimed at each other and fired at the same time, each shooting a life-killing bullet at the other!!!

……………

In the corridor, in the darkness, the two sides fired at each other almost at the same second, but shooting at the same time does not mean that both sides will be hit at the same time. This is true for Richard, and the same is true for the sneak attacker.

Hooray!

Gululu!

Half a second before pulling the trigger, Richard instinctively moved sideways, jumping and dodging while firing. The attacker who was not far away also made a similar move and rolled sideways towards the wall.

side.

Both sides are masters, and both have experienced life and death. Relying on their excellent reactions, neither Richard nor the sneak attacker hit the other side, and the bullets just whizzed past each other's bodies!

How could that happen!?

Seeing this, Richard was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party had the ability to dodge bullets. Although he was able to avoid danger in advance like himself, this extraordinary reaction alone was enough to surprise him. Being able to have such reaction nerves

, has experienced many bloody storms, and the other party is definitely not an ordinary person. Even if he is not a soldier, he is probably a guy who has been living in danger for a long time!

Who is he? Why does he react so quickly? He doesn't look like a soldier in terms of skill, but his nerves and reactions are not inferior to mine at all?

Because the darkness obscured his vision, Richard could not clearly see the other party's appearance except for using a flashlight to see the dagger at the beginning. Until now, he still doesn't know who the other party is, and the flashlight had already fallen to the ground in the hasty fight just now.

Accidentally put it out. As the flashlight went out, the light source disappeared. At this point, the corridor fell into darkness and was shrouded in darkness. He had already

He can't see the opponent, but he only knows that the opponent is still on the opposite side, and nine times out of ten, he is still at a certain position not far away. Unfortunately, he cannot shoot, because at present, he only knows the general position of the opponent, and if he continues to shoot, he will inevitably

The emergence of light is equivalent to exposing one's precise position, and then becomes an extremely obvious target in the dark.

Therefore, Richard did not move. He just hid his figure in the darkness and suppressed the sound. But what shocked Richard again was that relying on the unique fighting acumen of a soldier, he was smart enough not to continue shooting. Unexpectedly, the other party also fired.

The same, even if he waited and observed for a long time, the other side was always silent. The sneak attacker did not fire blindly, let alone fired. He did not make even a slight sound, was not exposed from the beginning to the end, and did not make any sound to identify his position.

Tiny flaws!

Master!

This was a pertinent evaluation that Richard could instinctively draw during the observation period. He thought so, and Zhao Ping thought so too!

At this moment, with the help of the cover of the dark package, he was almost the same as Richard. A few meters away, Zhao Ping was holding a pistol and hiding on guard. Although the man's expression could not be seen in the darkness, Zhao Ping had a serious expression with sweat on his forehead, as if he was a man.

With a surprised expression, it was obvious that he made a mistake, or that he made a mistake. He did not deal with the four security guards like before.

Richard was killed in a sneak attack in this way. The reason was not that he was not cautious, but that the other party had sharp reactions and good skills. Relying on the above two points, the other party actually forcibly avoided his one-hit kill.

Sneak attack, you can dodge the sneak attack and counterattack immediately. If you hadn't been experienced and practiced, you might have been successfully counterattacked by the opponent!

Soldier? A soldier like Peng Hu who has actually been on the battlefield?

As expected of a veteran with keen observation, Zhao Ping quickly came up with a guess from the somewhat standardized movements of the other party just now, thinking that Richard and Peng Hu were somewhat similar, and the hurried, although not panic, movements were vaguely similar.

Peng Hu, and Peng Hu happens to be a person who works at the border all year round.

As expected, he is a standard soldier fighting against drug dealers. The security captain named Richard should have been in the army before and most likely participated in a certain number of battles, thus developing a pair of good skills. This is the only way.

This kind of person has the ability to avoid his own sneak attacks.

What a risk. Fortunately, I retreated in time to distance myself, otherwise I would have been easily counter-killed by the opponent!

only……

If this happens, things will become difficult to handle.

After quickly assessing the strength of both sides, Zhao Ping's eyebrows flashed with worry. Although he had just been extremely smart to distance himself from the other party, the initial close combat has now evolved into a long-distance gun fight, and now they are hiding and falling into each other.

There is a stalemate, but the problem is that continuing like this is not the solution.

Although he is experienced and capable, the other party is not stupid. With certain preparations, the other party is unlikely to be easily eliminated by him. Just from the silent behavior of the other party, it can be seen that the other party is very capable of fighting.

With experience, he also knows how to use darkness to hide his location.

(Things are a bit tricky. If so, what should we do next?)

With the cover of darkness, facing the stalemate, Richard was cautious and Zhao Ping thought hard. Both sides chose to wait under the threat of firearms, waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the other party to be unable to resist the temptation to open the exposed position first. Is that right?

Wrong, but in a short-term situation where a deadlock has formed

It is destined that no one can do anything to the other. Neither of them are fools. They will not and cannot attack first and expose themselves. Unless a third party appears to break the deadlock, Richard will not dare to escape. Zhao Ping is also unable to retreat. In any case,

We can only maintain the confrontation in this narrow corridor, but...

After all, Zhao Ping is Zhao Ping. As a ruthless character who does not hesitate to use any means to achieve his goals, he has the ability to solve any crisis, even the situation in front of him that is unsolvable in the eyes of ordinary people.

After waiting for a moment, seeing that the other party still made no move, he squinted his eyes, and the man's mouth curled up into a sneer. During the sneer, he put his left hand into his pocket, clearly looking like he was going to use his backhand to kill.

He seemed to be taking out something, seemed to be using this thing to break the deadlock, and was even extremely confident that he would be able to successfully solve the opponent's problem while using this thing, completely putting Richard in danger.

It's a pity...

In the end, he did not take out this object and did not use the means to kill Richard as he had just imagined. Yes, he gave up the fight and no longer focused on killing Richard. The reason that caused him to terminate the action and give up killing was also

It was not that his conscience showed up and he let this person go, but that an accident occurred at the scene, a terrible incident that was enough to make Zhao Ping give up his plan in an instant and just run away!

Two seconds ago, at the critical moment when Zhao Ping was about to trick someone and planned to kill Richard directly, the deadlock was broken, instantly broken by a purple light that appeared out of thin air.

(Um?)
To be continued...
