Chapter 8 Being Hunted
Xing Tian was able to accurately state the origin and other details of these knives as soon as he received them.
Moreover, giving Chen Jun two swords, one long and one short, is indeed very reasonable in terms of close combat, and is especially suitable for Chen Jun's large size.
These facts clearly demonstrate that Xing Tian was indeed highly skilled in the use of knives.
"Yes, they are indeed two very good knives. The quality of the genuine products is also top-notch. I feel that if I were to strike them, nothing would be able to withstand it."
Chen Jun took the two knives from Xing Tian, grabbed them with both hands and twirled them a few times. The feel of them was impeccable, and he smiled with great satisfaction.
Then, my gaze fell on Xing Tian's hands, where he still had two knives.
The Type 56 Mitsubishi bayonet is quite intimidating; it's sharp, long, and has a blood groove. If used to stab someone, it'll definitely pierce them through in one go.
The other dagger was quite short, with a blade only about ten centimeters long.
The blade was much shorter, which greatly reduced its intimidating appearance. It was far less imposing than Chen Jun's heavy cleaver, which looked like it could cleave a person in two.
"Xingtian only has these two little things, their power is not enough, they need to be strengthened."
Chen Jun pondered for a moment, then picked up the crossbow next to him and handed it over, saying, "You picked out two good knives for me, so I'll give you this crossbow. Your brother must have taught you how to shoot, so you're definitely more accurate than me."
The main problem is that this shop only has one arrow, and we have to use it at the crucial moment. It would be such a waste if I missed.
Moreover, if you have it, and we really have to fight them later, we can work together.
I'll draw attention with my big cleaver, charging ahead to clear a path for you, while you deal damage from behind, seizing the opportunity to strike the enemy.
If you can hit your target with this arrow, we'll most likely get a gun, and then we won't be in such a passive position anymore.
Chen Jun has never practiced shooting. If he were to use this crossbow, it would definitely miss completely if the distance exceeded ten meters.
"Okay, I've played with crossbows at home before, so I'm definitely more suited to using one than you are."
Xing Tian acted decisively and without hesitation. He took the crossbow and slung it over his shoulder, then asked with a sudden realization, "Oh, by the way, have you seen Old Ding?"
"No!"
Chen Jun shook his head and said, "It was too chaotic at the time. By the time I realized what was happening, you and Lao Ding were gone. I don't even know if Lao Ding saw the text messages I sent you earlier."
"The text message you sent us?"
Xing Tian reached into his pocket to take out his phone, wondering if Chen Jun had really sent the text message. He also remembered that he could use his phone to contact Lao Ding.
The saying "Speak of the devil and he shall appear" is truly apt.
Just as Xing Tian took his phone out of his pocket, before he could even unlock it, the screen lit up by itself, and a string of numbers and Lao Ding's name popped up on the color screen.
This was followed by the candybar phone, with its unique and loud ringtone.
"Damn it, Lao Ding is going to kill me."
The moment Chen Jun and Xing Tian heard the bell, the hairs on their bodies stood on end in fright.
Even though Xing Tian's reaction speed was fast enough, he was so frightened that his hand trembled, and he quickly hung up the phone in less than two seconds.
Unfortunately, the fourth floor was too quiet, making the ringtone sound exceptionally loud.
Chen Jun and Xing Tian didn't need to look outside; they could clearly hear hurried footsteps approaching.
"We've been spotted! Run!"
Without a second thought, Chen Jun and Xing Tian rushed out of the store without any discussion.
As soon as I got outside the store, I noticed the sound was coming from the right, about 30 or 40 meters away. The two thugs who had just left were running towards us.
Without looking back, Chen Jun and Xing Tian immediately ran down the other side of the corridor.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly enough. If they had hesitated for even a few seconds in the store, they would have been trapped inside by the two thugs.
Being blocked at the door by two thugs armed with AKs—you can imagine the consequences.
"Stop! Don't run!"
A loud roar came from behind.
You could tell from the voice that it was the guy with the knife who was shouting earlier; his voice was as unpleasant as a broken gong, and he was also very ugly.
He has a flat nose and a bunch of dents on his face, like an elongated version of a strawberry nose.
"Stop right there, or I'll shoot."
The one speaking was another bandit. Chen Jun had glanced at him when he came out earlier. This guy was only about 1.6 meters tall, and his face was long like a shoehorn.
"Stop? You think I'm kidding? If I really stopped, I'd be a corpse."
Chen Jun was not intimidated by the bandits. Instead of stopping to surrender, he ran even faster.
Despite his astonishing weight of 400 pounds, Chen Jun is quite fast. In high school, he ran the 100-meter dash in 12.7 seconds.
Rugby players are known for their superior physical attributes, but even heavyweight athletes pale in comparison to Chen Jun.
The sound of Chen Jun running was like that of a brown bear running wildly, his feet pounding on the ground, and even the stainless steel railings in the corridor shook.
"Chen Jun, you're making too much noise running. Don't collapse the corridor."
Xing Tian is really thick-skinned; he can still complain at a time like this.
"They came out of the store, so they must have heard what we just said. We can't let them get away. If we can't catch them alive, we'll kill them."
The guy with the long face was shocked by how fast the "big guy" who ran out could go. Seeing that he couldn't catch up with him, he decisively told the guy with the big nose to attack him hard.
"Da da da..."
Gunshots rang out from behind.
Fortunately, there was a bend right outside the outdoor equipment store, and Chen Jun and Xing Tian managed to run to the other side of the bend in time, escaping the horrific fate of being riddled with bullets.
The whooshing sound of bullets passing by felt as if they were right behind his neck.
It still gave Chen Jun and Xing Tian a cold sweat.
My vest was completely soaked!
Crossing the bend allowed them a brief respite, but it didn't free them from danger. Two thugs were still chasing them, and bullets were still whizzing by.
Cement fragments that hit the wall and splashed up even hit them.
It hurts!
The two ran even faster.
To avoid being hit by bullets from behind, Xing Tian used the method his brother taught him: he ran in circles to avoid being hit while running in a straight line.
Chen Jun, who was running behind, was speechless. He yelled at the top of his lungs, "I'm taking the bullets for you from behind, what the hell are you doing running in an S-shape? Hurry up and run faster, straight lines are the fastest, don't block my way."
"Well……"
Xing Tian was rendered speechless by Chen Jun's insults and decisively gave up his showy maneuvers.
With Chen Jun's large frame protecting him, unless the enemy bombards him with rockets, even if Chen Jun is riddled with bullets, he will be perfectly fine.
The two ran frantically, one after the other, but soon realized that something was seriously wrong.
