Chapter 309: Alive or dead?

Unfortunately, Zhao Wei had never had the chance to handle a flash bang and did not realize that one had to turn away from it. If it weren't because he was farther away from it than everyone else, then he'd be at a complete disadvantage as he stumbled towards them half blind.

Grabbing onto the first person, both of them confusedly fumbled each other's body. Zhao Wei realizing faster than the man, that he was his enemy. Holding the mans gun down as he tried to raise it to point at Zhao Wei. Realizing he had no time to struggle with the man, Zhao Wei instead released his hands, letting the gun fly up in front of his face from the man's own strength. Right before slamming the gun at his face like a bad recoil, obliterating the cartilage in his nose.

These guys weren't weak by the slightest as the man did not drop from that blow, bringing one of his hands to his face to feel the warmth of the blood flowing down. He had just regained his vision when he saw Zhao Wei rush towards him and hug him.

He used his hands to pat around the man's kevlar vest several times before pushing him towards the rest of the group. Somehow he had become a human snowball as he stumbled towards his teammates. Any person he'd bump into would set off a wrap trap Zhao Wei had placed on his body and stick them together.

The more people he bumped into, the larger the human snowball became, before a pile of at least 8 people found themselves bound up together and latched to the side of an armored car.

Not wasting the confusion that was unfolding, Moto-tsune ransacked a man's body and equipped himself, unloading bullets into four of the men closest to him. He picked up one of the automatic guns and threw it at Zhao Wei.

"Hey man, use this!"

Zhao Wei caught the gun despite his tampered eyesight and unloaded it into the group. While one may assume that they can shoot just by watching the movies and copying what they did, it's much harder than it looks.

For one, after shooting 17 bullets or so, only one of his bullets barely nicked a guy's calf. With the gun's weight and Zhao Wei's strength, the process of shooting became a disorienting activity for him.

"Screw this." He muttered.

Flipping the gun around he held it by the barrel and swung it as one would a baseball bat. The mixture of steel, aluminum and plastic barely dented as it barreled through the bones in a man's arm and pressed on towards his ribs. Swinging it above his head, he threw the thing which ricocheted comically off another guy's head and landed on his buddy standing next to him.

They were making easy work of those who had left the safety of their vehicles, but not all of them were left in the open. Two armored cars still had passengers and drivers in them, and they weren't effected as much by the previous flash bangs.

Moto-tsune tried to unload as much as he could into one whose engine came alive and the driver tried to pull out of this skirmish to no avail. These things were prepared for war, everything from the wheels to the glass were made to be tougher than what a few bullets could get through. Although, with Moto-tsune's skill, the vehicle's defense was tested to the limit, to the chagrin of those behind it's protection.

The car easily pulled itself out.

"Crap! we have to get out of here, those guys will regroup with the reinforcements and bring them straight here!" Moto-tsune hollered.

"We'll figure that out if we can get out of this one first." Zhao Wei replied, the other car had also turned on, but the inhabitants of the vehicle had taken a different choice as compared to their comrade.

Instead of escaping, the men in the passenger seats opened the roof to get to the mini gun on top of the roof. Zhao Wei had one simple response to this, which was to lob Panda right into the opening.

One Panda and four guys in a very enclosed space, it was safe to say that the result was far from pretty. Moto-tsune was busy taking down the ones that entered his line of sight, but from time to time, his gaze would flicker between Zhao Wei crushing opponents with his adroit yet crushingly powerful physique and the car which shook violently while pitiful screams for mercy that lacked any of the battle ridden-masculinity that was supposedly ingrained into them.

From time to time he would think, considering that he'd been on the other side just less than an hour back, if he had to face either one, who would he have preferred to be tortured under? Unlike him, they didn't have the intent to kill in any of their actions.

But looking at the excruciating state in which anyone who stood up to them were left in... Maybe it'd be far more merciful to just finish them off from the get go.

Or at least knock them out! those anguished groans that suited the dead better than the living were a great distraction to his concentration. Every once in a while, he would wonder if he should waste on or two bullets on them, it'd be the humane thing to do...

He decided against it simply because he didn't want to go against any decision they made, lest he should annoy them, leaving him with no army to go to and no super human to keep him safe.

Luckily, he himself wasn't forced to keep them alive. Unlike them, he didn't have the confidence to beat them quite literally within an inch of their life while preserving his own.


Chapter 310: Reinforcement

"Ok, how many of you guys are there exactly!?" Zhao Wei shouted as he took down his nth number of guys in a row. Like with the apes, the constant battle was wearing down on him bit by bit.

There'd been no injuries that would take him down so far, but the little ones had begun to accumulate and wear away at him. The good thing was that whenever he was caught off guard here, he wasn't instantly met with near death agony.

In his wake were at least 40 people on the ground in the span of several minutes, many of whom were taken out pretty early by his and Moto-tsune's team work. But seeing as how they'd just met some time ago before being hunted down, there were bound to be a few flaws.

Early in the fight, Moto-tsune had passed seven guns to Zhao Wei before realizing he couldn't use one and would instead lob it towards one of the soldier's heads. He was wrapped up three times as well before figuring that he shouldn't fight too close to Zhao Wei or even tread where Zhao Wei had tread before.

"Wheeze* that's the last one..." Moto-tsune put a bullet right between the eyes of one of his former subordinates before sighing in relief. Pulling a trigger could be considered much easier to do, atleast compared to Zhao Wei's "Bull doze through everyone" style of fighting. But he also had to make sure he didn't get hit by anything so that he could continue shooting, now that part was exhausting.

Zhao Wei was pleasantly surprised by this fact. Physique aside, Moto-tsune was extremely skilled, to to even the point that he himself could only admit that he was a tad lower than the guy. Compared to him, Moto-tsune had come out of the fight relatively clean.

"How do you fight like that?" Zhao Wei accidentally blurted out.

"Hmm? Like what?" Moto-tsune replied.

"Eh.. like you... how do you keep yourself completely unharmed even in such a tough fight?" Zhao Wei asked.

"If I had to differentiate between us, I guess it'd be confidence..." Moto-tsune answered.

"Confidence?"

"Maybe.. that's.. not the right word for it." Moto-tsune pondered. "It's like... when I fight, I feel like prey, I'm pretty sure that if I get hit a few times I will go down, and my main focus is to survive the attacks."

"When you fight however, it's like you're immortal, like a predator in the midst of prey, you swing with no regard of what they do..." The more he explained his analysis, the more he was astonished by it himself as he'd just come up with it on the spot and his mind was digesting the information almost at the same time as he was saying it.

'Or maybe because you're such a monster that at least 80% of them were more focused on you instead of me..' Was what he wanted to answer.

'Maybe he's right...' Zhao Wei thought. His mindset in that battle just now was quite unsettling. He was used to fighting above his weight. Every beast he'd met until now were faster, stronger, tougher and more often than not, had more ways to kill another than he did. Even with his best plans he'd just be toeing the line between life and death when facing them.

Never once had he thought to simply stop a beast from fighting back, he never had the luxury. But against these guys, he'd been going easy, even though they'd outsmarted him at certain points, he had also given them the opportunity.

In every fight till now, he'd always planned from A, B, C down to plan O at the very least. Rarely did he ever have to completely rely on his fists without some well placed traps.

Even though he won, it was dangerous, and he should know. He'd always been fighting beasts that were far superior to him. If he on his own could do that, it was far less difficult for these guys to kill him.

A stray bullet to one of his vitals like his eyes would put him down immediately. Just the thought of it made him shiver.

"Helllooo...?" Moto-tsune had been waving his hand in front of Zhao Wei's face for a few seconds only to get a confused blinking in response. "Uh... We should make a move, can you drive?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where did they hide this many people!?" Tes shouted.

They'd joined the rest of the army after clearing out the men up there, but there was a little part that wondered if they would be able to change anything with just the four of them while a few hundred well equipped men appeared on the other side's ranks.

Needless to say, their side was getting mowed down even faster than before. The guys before had been shooting like Rambo, it wasn't a bad approach to this situation, but it was inefficient. Since they were shooting haphazardly into a crowd, then some tens of bullets would've landed on some guy on the front lines who was dead or so close to it. Not only did this waste the machine guns rapid fire, but it also increased the number of times one had to reload, a precious few seconds when the enemy was right in front of ones face.

The new comers to the battle were a game changer. Compared to the continuous rat-tat-tat of the soldiers before, they would shoot their guns intermittently, making every shot count. A small gap had begun to form between the previously clashing armies.
