Chapter 8: Fifteen Seconds of Life and Death! (Part 2)

  As soon as Ling Fei slipped into the alley, which wasn't particularly narrow, two gunshots rang out from the wall of the large building on his left. Ling Fei took a deep breath and leaned against the wall, feeling like he'd lost all strength. He was panting heavily, and before he knew it, his clothes were soaked with sweat. The night wind blew, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body. Closing his eyes, his brain was racing under pressure; "If the Hua Tian Building is a chessboard, then my position is at the front of the board. There must be more than one assassin, so they'll definitely occupy all the high points and aim at every exit of the Hua Tian Building to ensure a fatal blow..."

  Thinking of this, Ling Fei couldn't help but secretly think that Lin Canghai and the others were ruthless and poisonous. He took a deep breath again, began to simulate all the killers' positions in his mind, and started to set up an escape route. Judging from the current situation, it was very difficult for Ling Fei to escape. The location he was currently in was quite awkward, between two buildings with a narrow alley that wasn't long or short. And since no killer had fired a shot for so long, it meant that their line of sight was at a dead angle here, unable to aim at Ling Fei.

  But wanting to escape is also not an easy thing.

  Ling Fei took a glance at the exit on the other side of the alley, calculated the distance between the alleys, and thought to himself: "The length of the alley is about 10 meters. At my speed, I won't be able to make it to the other side and find cover in time... Based on the situation earlier, there are at most six assassins, and only three can take care of the high point on the left side. The other side is a road with no cover, if I appear, I'll be exposed to the guns of three people. Judging from the sound and power of those few shots, let's assume their firearms are Barrett XM-109 anti-material sniper rifles. The average distance from the road to the three high points closest to it is about 700 to 1000 meters. The recoil of the Barrett XM-109 is too great, so if they don't hit me with the first shot...

  Ling Fei's eyes, which had been filled with a hint of despair, slowly turned resolute. He muttered to himself, "Damn it, you three bastards! Remember this for me! If I don't die this time, then it'll be your turn to die!"

  Calmly calculating the impact of the XM-109's firing rate and the distance of 700 to 1000 meters on his chances of escape.

  The final result was a huge disappointment to Ling Fei, fifteen seconds... a not long but also not short period of time, fifteen seconds, how many fifteen seconds are wasted in life? But at this moment it became the pointer that decided Ling Fei's fate. Ling Fei let out a bitter laugh, took off his jacket, touched his already sweat-soaked undershirt, and began to warm up briefly, closing his eyes as he mentally visualized the geography of the other side of the alley.

  On the other side of the alley was a road, not very wide, only about 100 meters. After crossing this hundred meters, it was a commercial street. Ling Fei set his target on the bus stop sign at the head of the commercial street. If he guessed correctly, he had confidence that he could rush to the back of the bus stop sign within twenty seconds. According to Ling Fei's calculation, it was a blind spot, and the bullets from the three snipers would be blocked by the bus stop sign. However, the time defect was irreparable...

  Ling Fei gritted his teeth fiercely; "Damn it, if I die, I'll just die. At most, I'll be reborn in eighteen years and wait for revenge!"

  The alley was very quiet, but this quietness made Ling Fei's heart, which had just calmed down, feel anxious again. Under such extreme pressure, people would collapse, and Ling Fei was no exception. However, Ling Fei was not an ordinary person, just as he said to Feng Wu, he was a monster.

  Ling Fei patted his face, threw away the coat in his hand, and slowly focused his eyes on the station sign more than a hundred meters away. Whether he could run to the front of the station sign within 15 seconds would decide Ling Fei's life or death!

  Ling Fei muttered to himself, "It's a matter of life and death, all depends on these fifteen seconds... countdown!" Suddenly, Ling Fei's heart skipped a beat as he thought of a fatal question. The so-called Barrett XM-109 was just his guess, the most important part of this plan was the powerful recoil of the Barrett, he had to confirm that after the killer fired one shot, there would be no follow-up shots, only then could his fifteen-second plan work.

  At this moment, Ling Fei couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. If one of his guesses was wrong, then he wouldn't be escaping, but rather gambling with his own life!

  Ling Fei's eyes flickered, staring at the station sign, hesitating for a while before clenching his fist and muttering to himself: "Damn it, I'm not a rookie in risking my life, how come after all this time, my courage has actually shrunk?"

  Thinking of this, Ling Fei also let go, his mouth curled up into a captivating arc, his eyes closed, and he charged forward...

  A distance of ten meters was nothing to Ling Fei, and in less than three seconds he had sprinted to the end of the alley, out of the alley, and as soon as he took his first step, all the muscles in his body seemed to erupt at once. His arms bulged violently, with green veins knotting, looking like they possessed destructive power. In Ling Fei's heart, he counted down: "Fourteen..."

  Time seemed to have lost its effectiveness at this moment, every second passed very slowly. When walking normally, a distance of over 100 meters would hardly be noticed, but Ling Fei realized at this moment how long this 100 meters was.

  It was already more than six seconds since he took the first step, and Ling Fei had also run out a distance of forty meters. The remaining forty-odd meters would be covered in an instant, but would the killer give him another chance to relax? The answer is no!

  The moonlight spilled onto the cold street, and Ling Fei was running with great effort, as if every step was heavy. He was tense enough to hear his own heartbeat, "Thump! Thump! Thump!"

  Whoa! A bullet almost grazed Ling Fei's eyes, and the retina still had the faint ripples left by the bullet's passage. The devastating power that tore everything apart made Ling Fei boost his muscle strength to the limit in an instant, and his speed increased by a few more points. In his heart, he was also counting down: "Three..."

  "Bang!" The ground behind Ling Fei's heel was hit by a bullet, creating a small hole and splashing countless fragments. However, Ling Fei didn't have the mind to care about it. The third bullet hadn't been fired yet, and at this moment, Ling Fei was less than three meters away from the station sign.

  Ling Fei gritted his teeth and suddenly jumped up, clearing the last three meters of obstacles. "Peng!" The last bullet was also fired! A burst of blood appeared on Ling Fei's thigh!

  Ling Fei's body was propelled by the violent force, and he stumbled, less than two steps away from the station sign. Ling Fei gritted his teeth in pain, using his injured leg to push off the ground, and dodged behind the station sign. In his heart, he roared: "Time's up!"

  Biting back the pain in his body, Ling Fei hid behind a station sign and moved a few steps forward, finding that no bullets had pierced the sign. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and mutter to himself, "Looks like I made the right bet, nothing went wrong this time!"

  Ling Fei felt a sharp pain shooting up his leg, and he let out a cold breath as he looked at the pant leg that was already stained with blood. He gritted his teeth and ripped it open, revealing a large chunk of flesh torn apart by Bate's attack. Fortunately, the bullet had passed through his thigh without getting stuck inside. Ling Fei slowly sat down on the ground, looking up at the station sign about two meters behind him, thinking to himself: "I still have three minutes to rest, otherwise the pursuers in the building will definitely receive the killer's notification and come after me..." Suddenly, Ling Fei felt a piece of paper in his pocket, and a flash of inspiration struck him. He hastily pulled out the paper, and when he saw it, he almost shed tears: "My car god, I've never been so eager to see you!" He quickly took out his phone and dialed Car God's number. After a long time, Car God finally picked up, his lazy voice coming through: "Hello, who is this?"

  Ling Fei roared, "It's me! Ah, never mind who I am, just hurry to the bus stop opposite the Haotian Building and pick me up! It's a matter of life and death!" Before he could finish speaking, the phone emitted a loud screeching noise. Ling Fei looked at it and saw that the screen had shattered. He cursed angrily, "Damn it! The chain dropped at the critical moment!"

  He looked around but couldn't find a place to hide. At this moment when every second counts, even one second is precious.

  Ling Fei hummed, at this moment the three minutes he had budgeted for had already passed more than half, so if Che Shen couldn't arrive within one minute and thirty seconds or even less time, then today was equivalent to him being finished.

  As he thought of this, Ling Fei let out a sigh and stood up with the support of the station sign. "Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!" At the sound of these crisp claps, Ling Fei's pupils suddenly constricted as he looked back to see Lin Canghai, Murong Kun, and Chen Hua standing behind him. Lin Canghai's expression was very calm, his emotions unreadable. He spoke up at this time, saying: "Ling Fei, I underestimated you. Your performance just now was quite impressive, but... you still have to die here!"
