Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 117: He wanted to run but failed
At this time, the attacker's plan was crumbling.
They were not skillful soldiers but a group of bandits who could barely survive in the wilderness.
These people wanted to sneak up on all the tents, control the Qin family, and then kill Li Shutong and Qing Chen.
But this sudden change ruined Zhang Tongdan's plan.
The old hunter Qin Cheng discovered their movements in advance. Despite looking simple and honest, he was not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
A burst of gunfire intertwined in the woods, and at the same time, all of them set fire to Li Shutong's tent, forcibly smashing the tent into a sieve!
Zhang Tongdan bent over to rush up, like a scavenger jackal staring at its prey.
He said fiercely in the shadow of the woods, "Stay where you are, those from the Qin family! Otherwise, don't blame me for killing all of you as well! I'll settle the account with you later!"
He slowly approached Li Shutong's tent and signaled at his subordinates.
However, when the subordinate opened the curtain, he found that it was empty, "Boss, no one's in here!"
"Fuck, we've been fooled!" Zhang Tongdan stood up suddenly, looking around but didn't find what he was looking for, "Where is he?"
A dozen people also rushed in from the woods and searched around but found nothing.
"Are you looking for me?"
A voice came from behind.
The bonfire in the camp suddenly became vigorous, and the forest at night was like a rich-colored painting.
One of them turned around but saw Li Shutong smilingly stretching out a finger and tapping it on his chest.
Li Shutong seemed to be moving in slow motion, but for some reason, the man from the wilderness just couldn't avoid it.
When the finger touched the man's chest…
Silently, his entire body was shot back onto a tree trunk behind him like a cannonball.
But the strangest thing was that the moment his body collided with the tree trunk, there was no sound.
The wilderness man slowly slipped down from the tree trunk, almost as if physics didn't exist.
The elegance was like hanging up a painting, calm and delicate.
The battle ended with just one slow point of a finger and the sound of falling leaves. It was the strangest thing that could happen.
Everyone heard the sound of falling leaves, and then looked in the direction where the wilderness man came from, but there were only falling leaves from the sky, and Li Shutong was nowhere to be seen.
In the dark night, Zhang Tongdan couldn't hear anything, but he could see his subordinates hanging on tree trunks and dying slowly.
Every time he heard the sound of falling leaves, he could only see the falling leaves that were blown up by his subordinates falling back.
Woods around the camp seemed to be in the midst of rain.
He couldn't be seen. Deadly silent. Endless falling leaves.
And, there was the swaying bonfire.
Strange.
Mysterious.
Powerful.
Zhang Tongdan was frightened. Taking advantage of the moment when his underlings were dying on the other side, he turned and ran into the woods.
In the camp, Qin Cheng had already brought Qin Tong and others to pick up weapons, and they all hid behind the pickup trucks as bunkers, carefully observing the surroundings.
When they heard a burst of gunfire, they thought it was definitely over.
There was no sound of battle and no screams, Qin Cheng thought that Li Shutong had already died in the concentrated fire.
The middle-aged man and the teenager may have been ambushed.
They couldn't think about how to rescue them right now. Instead, they were worried about how to face Zhang Tongdan's upcoming attack on them.
However, the reality was a little different from what they imagined. Although they didn't hear the sound of battle, Zhang Tongdan and his men didn't come to attack them.
They seemed to have disappeared.
"Dad, what's going on?" Qin Tong asked in a low voice.
Qin Cheng lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Tongdancai is obsessed with breaking the rules, and he even dared to do something to us after collecting tolls. They came for the other two, but they definitely wouldn't let us leave alive. If his boss found out about this, he would have to die too."
"Then what should we do now?" asked Qin Tong.
"You and your younger brothers guard these two cars, I'll go take a look," Qin Cheng said, planning to sneak past the chaos, but then he suddenly asked, "Where's your sister? Where's Yiyi?"
Qin Cheng looked around and saw that Qin Yiyi was crawling toward Qing Chen's tent with a pistol in her mouth.
"What a sin!" Qin Cheng said sadly.
As soon as the words fell, the old man felt that something was wrong.
Because a single person's footstep came from the woods.
He looked up, and suddenly saw Li Shutong, who was neatly dressed, walking out of the shadow of the woods, and from that darkness, the light of the bonfire re-entered.
Li Shutong said with a smile, "All done. There are more than expected, so I couldn't deal with them as fast."
Qin Cheng and Qin Tong stared blankly at the middle-aged man and looked at each other.
All done?
Just like that?
Previously, they saw that Li Shutong was unwilling to meet with the Qiu Shou team, so they thought that he must just be a C-level traveler who had nothing to do with the corporations. Now it seems he was likely to be at Level B.
Qin Cheng looked outside the camp, and he could see some corpses of wilderness men sitting beside tree trunks.
The old man Qin Cheng gave Qin Tong a look.
Qin Tong immediately understood and found an excuse to check the wounds of the corpses.
"That's strange," Qin Tong found that these people had no wounds at all as if they had fallen asleep. There was no blood and no signs of internal injuries. Their organs had not ruptured either.
Qin Tong even felt that these people were not dead but fell asleep.
However, when he reached out to touch the neck of the corpse to check for their pulse, the person in front of him melted down like a pool of ooze.
Qin Tong squeezed the arm and found that the bones inside were broken into shreds.
He suddenly turned to look at Li Shutong by the bonfire. How did he do this?!
While talking, Qin Yiyi had already got up and ran to Qing Chen's tent. She opened the curtain but found that it was also empty inside. Without knowing when the boy disappeared!
"Where did Xiao Tu go?" Qin Yiyi looked at Li Shutong.
"Oh, I saved one for him to practice. He should be on his way to block the guy's escape route," Li Shutong said casually, as if he was not worried about Qing Chen's safety at all.
Outside the woods, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the distance, and then a dragging sound slowly approached.
It was as if something heavy was being dragged on the ground.
Everyone looked in that direction. It was Qing Chen pulling on Zhang Tongdan's collar and dragging him back.
There was blood on the boy's face, and it was a little red against the bonfire. There was a bullet hole on the waist part of the jacket, but it just passed by and didn't hit his body.
On the other hand, Zhang Tongdan's head was drooping crookedly, blood was gushing out from his neck, and he seemed to be dead.
"He wanted to run but failed," Qing Chen said succinctly.
