Chapter 53: Horus Eye Mercenaries (2)
The cold wind at night somehow felt soothing as it blew away all Zhang Qin Feng's worry. He's currently walking home from the hospital after knowing that his uncle will be taken care of by the nurses on duty.
Maybe it was due to his solemn expression and a sour mood, Zhang Qin Feng seemed to be very unapproachable at this moment.
But nothing seems to be bothering him as he continues with his walking pace back home. By the time he reaches the building where his studio accommodation is located, Zhang Qin Feng pays the convenience store a visit for some ready-to-eat meal.
Coincidently, it was Su Ruolin's turn to take care of the night shift for his parents again.
'It's him… Why did he look so sour today? Did he get dumped by that girlfriend?' Su Ruolin guessed. The possibility of someone close to him went into the hospital not even came across her mind.
"Is there anything else you'll like to add to the bill?" Su Ruolin smiled as she tried to sell more things to Zhang Qin Feng.
"That's all I needed. Put everything into a bag, please," said Zhang Qin Feng.
He left the convenience store after grabbing the paper bag with food and a can of beer. As he pushed the door out of the store, he noticed two strange individuals are loitering below the building. They seem to be quite a heavy smoker based on the cigarette butts littered on the floor.
Walking up to the first floor, Zhang Qin Feng soon reaches the door to his studio. He was trying to stuff his key into the padlock, but it was nowhere to be found.
'Did Yufei come back?' Zhang Qin Feng asked himself. Pulling the latch aside, he gently opened the door. It won't be nice to wake Wang Yufei up from her sleep just because something happened to his uncle.
[USER! BE CAREFUL!]
Stein's warning came immediately. But it was too late because an individual already forced himself into the studio while locking Zhang Qin Feng's right arm over his back.
Another guy came in soon after Zhang Qin Feng had his movement restricted. Another guy was waiting inside the room as he stands on the other side of the bed. That's also where the fridge is located.
"Keep your mouth shut, or I'll cut your throat. Do you understand me?" the guy that locked his wrist over his back seems to be an expert martial artist based on his arm strength as skill.
Zhang Qin Feng didn't answer his shout. But instead, he purposely makes another action imitating a man having difficulties peeing in public.
"A**hole! How dare you mock me? You must be tired of living!" the individual that kept his wrist locked loosen one of his grips as he tried to knock Zhang Qin Feng's head. But little that he knows, this was the moment Zhang Qin Feng was aiming for.
"Ruthless Dragon's Talon!" Zhang Qin Feng's fingers were like iron when he grabbed the individual's face by force and smashing him onto the computer table beside the bed.
"Argh… Urgh!" blood is rolling down from his nose as the individual cried in pain. The other two, one across the bed and one behind Zhang Qin Feng, immediately charged into him.
Both of them had a dagger about the length of an adult's palm in their hand.
"Carbide Armguard." Zhang Qin Feng withdraws the protection wear right in front of the two remaining individuals.
**Ding!**
The sound made by the dagger was different. It took them a few minutes to try and comprehend what is actually happening inside this room.
But not even ten seconds is needed as Zhang Qin Feng withdraw the Centurion S-11 out from his spatial inventory to give this scavenger a lesson he'll never forget. Using the rifle as a club, Zhang Qin Feng smashed the weapon onto the individual's head to prevent him from running away.
Also, as he was unsure what time the first individual will come back to his sense, Zhang Qin Feng ruthlessly slammed the gun's handle at the first guy's head. This time, his four limbs are relaxed as he fell unconscious.
With two people is out, only the guy across the bed is left.
The scene of Zhang Qin Feng pulling out and keeping something away like magic was his first.
"Who sent you here?" Zhang Qin Feng interrogated the guy standing before him.
"Hahaha… You better not underestimate me… I am nowhere like the two when it comes to fighting." the third individual wiped his dagger on his shirt and slowly approaching Zhang Qin Feng with a trick on his left arm.
"Bring it on!" the third individual suddenly made two drastic steps to Zhang Qin Feng as he tried to score a cut on the latter's waist. But with the carbide armguard protecting him, Zhang Qin Feng is much more daring than he used to.
The carbide armguard confidently defended against the individual's attack while allowing Zhang Qin Feng to capture the individual's wrist. Of course, it was not that easy.
Using a certain counter-movement known by those from the elite force, their battle ended in a draw. It was an undesirable outcome because both sides were confident with their ability to subdue the others.
"To think that some random people here have such a skill… What are you? Someone from the elite force?" the third individual asked. He started to regret his option for lingering so far from the only exit in this studio apartment.
"Just a regular citizen." Zhang Qin Feng answered.
"Ptuih!" the individual spit a mouthful of saliva into the basin as he finds his words hard to believe. Following the act of spitting, he sneakily moved his hand to his back to grab something.
But then, the Phalanx X-02 suddenly appeared in Zhang Qin Feng's hand as it was fired silently twice. Blood instantly oozing out from the individual's wound as he sat on the ground, panicked that he'll faint from blood loss.
"Alright. It's time to speak. Let us start with something easier first." Zhang Qin Feng pulled his chair forward and sat before this individual.
