Chapter 493: Chapter 494: Flames of Fury
Li Mingmo exploded, "You can insult me, but you can’t insult my marksmanship. This is a matter of dignity, it’s the honor of a sharpshooter."
Ji Hanyu: "..."
"Don’t you know how accurate my shooting is? I personally aimed and fired at Number Three’s left chest," Li Mingmo said. "That Number Three, I disabled his hand and shot him, plus that massive explosion, how could he possibly still be alive?"
"What if... his heart isn’t in the usual place?"
As soon as Ji Hanyu spoke, Li Mingmo was completely taken aback.
If that were the case, then...
Li Mingmo still found it unbelievable, "How many ’what ifs’ are there anyway? People’s hearts are on the left side, and not even one in a million has their heart on the right. It couldn’t be such a coincidence that we met that one in a million."
As Li Mingmo spoke, his tone grew weaker and weaker, clearly becoming more uncertain.
Ji Hanyu: "Nothing is impossible. In that base, there’s nothing that can’t happen, right?"
Li Mingmo: "..."
He became speechless instantly; Ji Hanyu was right. In that base, any bizarre kind of person wasn’t unusual.
Those who could be selected into the base all had special talents and gifts in some way or another.
Like him, aside from having no background and being an orphan with a clean, trouble-free past, the most important thing was his innate talent as a sharpshooter.
The base’s people would search outside, selecting talented individuals with special traits or unique physical abilities.
The reason Number Three was chosen might precisely be because his heart was in an unusual place.
"But he was seriously injured too. With that explosion, no uninjured person could possibly come out alive."
Li Mingmo still refused to believe it. His thinking was relatively straightforward and stubborn, and he was fixated on logic.
This is also why he never suspected someone from the base.
Because in that situation, no one should have survived.
Ji Hanyu said, "The base explosion wasn’t triggered by us. Who was it that detonated? It couldn’t have been someone committing suicide that triggered it!
There must be things in the base we don’t know about... like secret paths or hidden doors.
The person who detonated the explosives must have left through somewhere. Since they could leave, why couldn’t Number Three?
Or perhaps, the person who blew up the base saved Number Three.
Or maybe it was Number Three who detonated the explosives. After all, Number Three knew how and where we buried our explosives.
Why did Number Three suddenly betray us? Did they suddenly offer him something, or did Number Three reach some kind of agreement with them?
But no matter what, from the moment Number Three betrayed us, his life became valuable, didn’t it?"
"Damn..." After figuring it out, Li Mingmo cursed directly, "Listening to you, it must be that son of a bitch Number Three, no wonder he insisted on bringing me down.
After all, back then, I disabled one of his hands and shot him too. No matter where his heart is, that shot should have made him suffer.
Curse his bastard luck, playing dirty with me, I’ll skin him and pull his tendons this time."
Thinking of how Xi Wei took the stab for him, and now with his injured left hand, Li Mingmo’s fury burned fiercely...
