After all, unless one is a High Order Catastrophist, within a meter, a rifle shot to the head means death for anyone…
…
Meanwhile,
Qiu Tu had also arrived at the entrance of the villa with Liu Fuping, Ding Xiaoliu, Zhu Huoyan, and other confidants.
At this time, three groups of agents had already retreated to the entrance of the villa, holding their pistols with pale faces, hiding by the door, and cautiously observing the outside.
At the main entrance of the villa, seventeen or eighteen United Front members, wearing black knitted balaclava hats and worn tactical vests pieced together, were divided into two teams, taking turns shooting at the villa entrance under the cover of barricades.
The three scantily clad women Old Master Qin had invited today had already died in the first wave of the attack, sprawled in pools of blood.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu quickly grabbed an agent he knew well and asked with a serious face, "Li Xian, what the hell happened? How did the United Front get here?"
The agent named Li Xian was obviously terrified as well. Suppressing his racing heart, he looked at Qiu Tu and said with effort, "Chief... Chief, I don’t know."
"We were originally following Captain Cao’s orders to be on guard in all four directions."
"Then, suddenly, a group of United Front members emerged from the roadside and started shooting at us without saying a word."
"Old Wang was killed on the spot, and I was injured. I could only run desperately towards the villa."
"When the other three groups heard the gunshots, they also hurried over to support us. Then we retreated back into the villa."
At this point, Li Xian even showed his injured right abdomen, which was bloody and had stuck to his uniform.
On seeing this, Qiu Tu, with a grave expression, patted Li Xian’s shoulder, "You guys have had it tough."
He paused then continued, "Since you’re injured now, go inside the villa, find some alcohol to disinfect the wound, and bandage it up. We’ve got this."
Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Li Xian quickly replied, "No problem, Chief. I can hold on!"
"Now, the enemy outnumbers us, and we don’t know if they have reinforcements. Having one more person to fight means we can hold on a bit longer."
Listening to Li Xian’s words and seeing his resolute and genuine gaze, Qiu Tu’s eyes flickered slightly as he patted Li Xian’s shoulder firmly, "Good!"
While peeking out to observe the enemy’s situation, he arranged, "Little Liu, count our people. See if everyone has gotten inside the villa."
"Sister Liu, call the bureau and ask for reinforcements."
"Huo Yan, find some alcohol to disinfect Li Xian’s wound and bandage it up."
After a few rapid instructions, the agents at the villa entrance started moving like they had found their backbone.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu squeezed into a small room facing the outside of the villa and cautiously peered out to observe the situation.
This time the Anti-government Armed Forces had clearly come prepared.
They were all fully equipped, with handguns, and even two or three of them had rifles in their hands.
Qiu Tu made a quick count, there were 17 in the front. Assuming there was at least a group of two from the other three directions, that made 23 people.
This was nearly double the number of men on Qiu Tu’s side.
And compared to the United Front members Qiu Tu had last seen, who fired their guns wildly and haphazardly, these members were obviously much more professional.
Not only did they divide into two groups for alternating fire and suppression, they also used cover to steadily advance, clearly leaving no chance for Qiu Tu and the others to turn the tables!
So, just in the short minute that Qiu Tu had been giving orders, the United Front members had already advanced to just three meters from the villa’s door.
One more dash, and they would be up against the villa’s outer walls!
Keep in mind that this villa was not any sort of military establishment. It didn’t even have security measures, meaning there were too many windows and doors for the attackers to enter directly into the villa.
Once that happened, without the advantage of the terrain, the chances of victory for Qiu Tu and his people would grow even slimmer!
Thinking this, Qiu Tu knew he couldn’t let the situation deteriorate any further!
But... how to deal with these invaders?
With these thoughts, Qiu Tu involuntarily started to rapidly ponder over the few Cataclysmic treasures and Cataclysmic Creatures in his possession.
The Seal of ownership, Lucky Joker Card, Cataclysmic Awakening Potion, Mandragora Love Drug, Silver Key Beehive, Trigger Paper Figure...
As he inventoried the Cataclysmic treasures he could use, Qiu Tu realized that the rewards he had obtained lately were all auxiliary defense relics. He didn’t have a single treasure that could be used for attack!
The only thing he was grateful for was that he hadn’t rashly used his Cataclysmic ability "Order Space" to interrogate Old Master Qin.
It gave him a bit more confidence.
With "Order Space" and the "Trigger Paper Figure," even if he couldn’t repel the enemy, he could still retreat unharmed.
It’s just... by that time, the confidants he had painstakingly cultivated, including the recently acquired Old Master Qin, might not be able to take many with him.
After all... The maximum reach of "Order Space" was only two meters. Facing the current mid-range gunfight, it had practically no effect, serving only for self-preservation and escape.
This made him quite unwilling!
Thinking this way, his brows furrowed tightly as he continued to contemplate a way to break through...
He had been deep in thought for just two seconds.
Suddenly, Qiu Tu’s eyes lit up.

Wait a second! A gunfight...?
When this keyword surfaced, Qiu Tu seemed to have thought of something, his eyes gradually beginning to shine!
If... that was the case, perhaps, he had a chance to take on these thugs!
With this thought, Qiu Tu quickly went to the corridor and called over Liu Fuping, who had just finished on the phone, and another agent, "Sister Liu, Jiao Ming, come with me!"
Although Liu Fuping and Jiao Ming didn’t understand what Qiu Tu meant, they followed him back to the room out of trust for Qiu Tu.
Amidst the intense gunfire, all the glass in the front rooms of the villa shattered, a breeze blowing the smoke into the room, filling their nostrils with the scents of gunpowder and sulfur.
But Qiu Tu seemed as if he hadn’t smelled it at all; he took a gun from Liu Fuping, held dual pistols, crouched down, and then... activated his Cataclysmic ability "Order Space"!
With the activation of "Order Space," Qiu Tu also set the rule for today’s "Order Space":
"Within Order Space, my pistol shooting level will reach the highest level attainable by me personally!"
As the rule was established, Qiu Tu raised his head to look outside the villa.
At that moment, Qiu Tu felt as if the pistols in his hands were part of his arms, intimately familiar.
He knew their weight, details, and textures as if they were brand new.
And as he raised the pistol and aimed outside, in Qiu Tu’s eyes, it was as if there were faint white dashed lines, allowing him to easily track the bullet trajectories!
Already possessing a high talent for shooting, coupled with the powers bestowed by his Cataclysmic ability, he was like aided by God. Enjoy new tales from empire
His expressionless face adjusted the aim of the gun slightly, targeting the leader of the Anti-government Armed Forces who was just about to sprint out from cover, then... with an indifferent gaze, he pulled the trigger!
The next second, flames flickered, gunpowder ignited!
A bullet fiercely flew out from the muzzle of Qiu Tu’s gun, then instantly crossed several meters, drilling directly into the forehead of the leader who was charging forward!
There was a muffled "bang!"
A red dot appeared on the leader’s forehead. With an incredulous expression on his face, his body still poised to sprint!
Then... with a "thump," he fell to the ground!
For a moment, the scene seemed to fall silent.
But Qiu Tu did not stop his actions!
