Chapter 217: Chapter 214: Don’t Jinx It
The quartet’s idea was right: no matter how formidable a person is, it’s hard to fend off the hands of four, and Bi Fang could defeat the Poachers primarily by creating one-on-one conditions.
When the group huddled together like a turtle shell, Bi Fang really had a hard time making a move. If he couldn’t take down all four at once, any one of them firing a shot meant game over.
“Hahaha, as long as I’m cowardly enough, even Master Fang can’t do anything to me!”
“I’m actually quite looking forward to it, to see Master Fang being kidnapped.”
“There is something to that; I also want to see what it looks like when the invincible Master Fang is humbled.”
The audience, ever the instigators of chaos, were used to seeing Master Fang have the upper hand and were curious to see what Bi Fang would look like humbled after being captured.
Quite thrilling.
But the audience still underestimated Bi Fang. He hid at the end of the corridor, just waiting for the quartet to emerge from the thick fog. When he saw the type of firearms they were holding, Bi Fang felt reassured.
They were tranquilizer guns!
Tranquilizer guns have a distinctive look. To accommodate the thin, long tranquilizer darts, the design of the tranquilizer gun is quite different from that of a regular gun. The rifles are generally thin and long, somewhat resembling blow pipes at first glance, while the pistols are similar to break-action guns, also having a thin, long barrel.
Of course, a few don’t have long barrels, but their design is still distinct from mainstream pistols and easy to tell apart.
So when Bi Fang saw the tranquilizer guns, he understood that the show’s arrangement was highly probable. If it were truly a reprisal from a poaching organization, they wouldn’t bother with such trouble.
This was Ugly Li Jian, where gun battles were a daily affair, and a moment’s worth of bullets were far cheaper than a few dozen or hundred tranquilizer darts.
With this in mind, Bi Fang took a step forward and shouted from the end of the corridor, “Hey, how much is the show paying you? I’ll pay double!”
The addressed quartet hesitated: “???”
Could you give us some face? We’re trying to kidnap here!
However, double sounded quite nice; more appealing than triple. If it meant getting double after the capture, that would be even better…
While Second Brother was lost in indecision, Boss slapped him across the face, “What are you thinking? Where’s your professional ethic? We’re live here, who’s going to hire you after you do this!”
Second Brother was startled, damn, Boss was absolutely right, no wonder he was the boss. He’d been careless to think he could replace him!
Dammit, not only was the opponent strong, but he was also adept at psychological warfare!
“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter, how did the style suddenly change?”
“Did the Adventure Channel turn into the Comedy Channel? Where did the show’s crew find these four clowns?”
“Such a disgrace to Ugly Country’s military!”
“Speaking of which, don’t you think these four guys look alike? Do I feel like they’re siblings?”
The audience was in stitches. If comedy was the show’s aim, they’d successfully achieved it. The online friends were witnessing a live broadcast in the style of a comedy film for the first time.
Bi Fang appeared before them—a golden opportunity the quartet couldn’t let slip away. They immediately raised their guns to shoot, but Bi Fang’s body flickered, using the wall as cover as he turned and ran.
“Chase him!”
Hearing the footsteps receding, Boss immediately ran toward the end of the corridor with his gun raised, but the audience felt a little sorry to watch any longer.
Because at the end of the corridor, on the front side, Bi Fang hadn’t gone anywhere. Instead, he was rooted to the spot, creating the illusion for the quartet that he had fled.
Even worse, he had not only made off with a rolling pin from the kitchen, but also a large bucket of cooking oil!
Listening to the footsteps drawing nearer, Bi Fang splashed the contents of the oil bucket forcefully onto the ground!
The top half of the oil bucket had been entirely removed, offering no resistance at all, and a large amount of golden oil was instantly sprawl.
The quartet almost simultaneously stormed forward. Seeing Bi Fang emerge, they went on high alert, only to then realize what was being thrown at them. Years of military training had them instinctively hit the deck. The next moment, an extremely slippery sensation came from the ground.
“Ahhh!!!”
The four men were sprawled out, sliding through the hallway like bowling balls, leaving behind long, oily skid marks, unable to stop.
“What a pity for the custodian.”
Bi Fang sighed, avoiding the cooking oil on the floor and heading towards the last of the four.
The struggling Third Brother, who had fallen behind, tried to get up frantically, but the floor and his body were covered in golden grease, offering no friction or reaction force.
“Fuck, don’t come over here!”
Seeing that he couldn’t get up, Third Brother scrambled to pick up the anesthetic gun that had slid even further away, but Bi Fang was faster, darting between the gaps in the oily mess of the four men, stepping on the gun before picking it up and pulling the trigger, under Third Brother’s desperate gaze.
And so, the group of four was down by one.
“Don’t move!”
The Boss, true to his title, got up the fastest and aimed at Bi Fang, but Bi Fang was always one step ahead and immediately ducked behind a pillar.
The tranquilizer dart struck the pillar squarely and then fell to the floor.
Without hesitation, Bi Fang dashed off into the distance, knowing that the anesthetic gun had limited ammunition. He checked and saw that after firing that shot, the gun was out of ammo.
As Bi Fang ran farther and farther away, the Boss’s eyes reddened with rage. He crawled over to Third Brother, looking at his brother who was about to close his eyes, he couldn’t help but grasp his hand.
Under the influence of the drug, Third Brother’s eyelids grew heavier. He looked up at his big brother and said with difficulty, “Boss, Boss…”
“I’m here, if you have anything to say, I’ll do everything in my power to make it happen!”
Tears filled Third Brother’s eyes as he was touched by his big brother’s sincere words. With his last bit of energy before closing his eyes, he advised, “If you guys succeed, will my share still count?”
Looking at his brother whose eyes were about to close, the Boss couldn’t bear to tell him the truth and said firmly, “It counts!”
“Then I can rest easy…”
With his answer, Third Brother smiled and closed his eyes.
“Boss, Boss, what do we do next?”
The remaining two finally managed to get up from the ground and carefully approached the Boss, asking what should be done next.
“Of course, we keep chasing.” The Boss wiped away his tears, and just as he tried to stand up, he fell again, the hard floor hitting his pelvic bone, causing excruciating pain.
Second Brother and Fourth Brother quickly helped him up.
Standing up while rubbing his sore behind, the Boss felt indignant, “Although he took Third Brother’s gun, no worries, I had foreseen the possibility of the guns being taken, so I loaded only one tranquilizer dart in each. Since he has dealt with Third Brother, that gun is useless now, giving us the upper hand!”
Second Brother and Fourth Brother were amazed by the Boss’s wisdom and bravery.
[Stop jinxing it!]
[I’m numbed; it feels like we’re heading for a total wipeout.]
[Surviving without getting shot counts as a success!]
Seeing this, the audience had lost much hope. Comparing the two sides, Bi Fang seemed much more formidable, not breaking a sweat and even looking rosy from his bath.
The group, no, now a trio, was not only covered in oil but also had to walk gingerly to avoid falling flat on their faces.
“My god, I can’t believe I missed such an exciting scene!”
At that moment, Amy and Wang Yongbo, who had just left the resort, were informed by the staff about the event and exclaimed at the thrill of Bi Fang effortlessly taking down a captor.
Inside the resort, the trio changed into their shoes and became even more cautious, while Bi Fang faced a bit of a challenge with such wimps.
It was just as Jerret had guessed, being cowardly enough seemed to really grant them invincibility.
