The situation was clear.
These people were not following him, otherwise they would have shot him dead on the way.
After all, the water gun club was not located in a busy area, and the secluded path he took was perfect for murder.
Moreover, these people had blown up the door right away, indicating they had some understanding of the water gun club.
They could only be here for Liu Ping'er.
Why would a bunch of water gun enthusiasts warrant professional killers?
There was only one explanation: they controlled information or matters that others did not want the public to know.
"I didn't expect them to be so fast!" Liu Ping'er's flushed face turned pale.
She knew Li Chonglou was right.
These four killers must have come for that item.
Fortunately, they were targeting her and not other members.
There were no casualties yet.
Just as she was feeling fortunate, two gunshots rang out from the direction of the member training ground.
Liu Ping'er's beautiful eyes widened with urgency.
"Oh no!"
They had gone after the other members after all.
"Don't shoot, I surrender... I surrender..." Just then, a male member hiding behind a broken wall emerged with his hands raised, pleading.
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, a bullet opened a hole in his forehead.
Blood splattered three feet.
The nearby members screamed in terror, and Xu Tianyou trembled, veins bulging on his forehead.
These killers were too ruthless.
They had no intention of letting anyone live.
"What is it, speak quickly!" Li Chonglou's pupils contracted sharply. Risking being shot, he poked his head out and saw two killers approaching the pillar where they were hiding.
Apart from a few who came from the orphanage, the other members of the water gun club were ordinary people.
They came here simply to relieve stress, relax, or out of interest.
A mother's child, or a child's parent.
Now they were dead, caught in the crossfire, because they were implicated.
And they could do nothing.
Only wait to die!
With the marksmanship of these four people, even he, if he dared to go out, would be shot dead.
There was no possibility of dodging.
What was it that warranted such a scene?
Li Hanlong was not capable of this!
"We found evidence that Li Hanlong was helping a powerful figure launder money."
Liu Ping'er finally revealed the truth: "He used the auction house to launder money by faking ancient artifacts. After the auction, he would have experts expose the fakes."
"He openly pocketed the money, with the amount involved reaching tens of billions..."
Upon hearing this, Li Chonglou finally understood.
Tens of billions were involved, and there was a powerful figure.
Let alone sending four professional killers to silence them, sending a nuclear bomb would be understandable.
With this evidence, the chance of bringing down Li Hanlong increased significantly, but pulling one thread would lead to others, and the powerful figure behind him would inevitably be exposed.
Could that powerful figure be the one surnamed Huang?
Probably not. The one surnamed Huang was a businessman and didn't need to launder money.
Could there be someone else?
At this moment, Li Chonglou had no time to ask more questions.
His mind raced, thinking of a way to survive.
In ten seconds at most, the two killers would reach them, and the other two would have slaughtered everyone in the member training area.
"Can we talk?" Li Chong楼 shouted at the top of his lungs.
The response was a gunshot.
It was a dead end.
"I remember you have a gun on you, take it out and fight back." In desperation, Li Chonglou remembered the gun Liu Ping'er had hidden on her thigh and pointed at him when they first met.
"That's a model, it's fake!" Liu Ping'er was almost in tears. "We're not a shooting range. It's a serious crime to carry a gun privately without a license."
Upon hearing this, Li Chonglou was both amused and annoyed.
So it was only useful for scaring him, and it was fake too.
She was a woman after all.
She looked gentle and beautiful usually, but like a frightened quail when danger struck.
No matter what, he could not just sit and wait for death.
He took out his phone to call the police, but found that the signal had completely disappeared. The killers must have deployed a jammer.
"There's always a way out!" Li Chonglou put his phone back, his gaze sweeping around. He saw a place where equipment was stored a few dozen meters away, and his eyes lit up.
There were bulletproof vests and helmets inside.
Although the club was a place for people to have fun, some military enthusiasts had deliberately purchased surplus military protective gear.
To satisfy their military dreams.
They didn't need it for their usual training, so they stored it here.
If he could put on that gear, there might be a chance to survive today.
Li Chonglou dragged a wooden stool next to the pillar, clenched his fist, and smashed it hard onto the stool's surface.
Crack!
The stool broke in half, and Li Chonglou held one half in each hand.
This scene shocked Liu Ping'er, and she covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes shimmering.
The stool had the same shape as the one she sat on in the orphanage when she was little. It was a small decoration she had deliberately made to resemble her memory.
But it was made of rosewood and was very hard.
She was surprised that Li Chonglou was so strong, breaking it in half with a single punch.
It was ridiculous that she had scared him with a fake gun that day, and he hadn't taken her seriously at all.
Perhaps, with him, there was indeed hope today.
Thinking this, Liu Ping'er's fear subsided slightly.
As the thought crossed her mind, Li Chonglou swung the half of the stool in his left hand.
He hurled it towards the two approaching killers, aiming blindly.
Bang!
Another shot. The stool was smashed to pieces in mid-air, and wood chips exploded and scattered.
"Wait for me here." Li Chonglou was not surprised. He flashed to the left and threw the one in his left hand.
Again, a shot hit it directly in mid-air.
It had to be said that the quality of these killers was terrifying.
But Li Chonglou was waiting for this moment. As they each fired a shot and wood chips flew, a brief gap appeared in between.
His body shot out like a released arrow towards the pile of equipment.
Bang, bang, bang...
A few more shots followed, hitting the ground where Li Chonglou had rushed.
If it were a normal person, these shots would have torn him to shreds.
But Li Chonglou's speed was far beyond that of ordinary people. Although the difference in short-distance sprints was not as great as in long-distance ones, it was enough to avoid these precisely predicted shots.
By the time the killers realized their prediction was wrong, Li Chonglou had already reached the equipment area.
He hid behind another pillar.
He reached out, grabbed a Level 3 helmet and a bulletproof vest, and put them on. He also picked up a riot control baton leaning against the wall.
Then he took another set of gear to shield himself and returned to the pillar where Liu Ping'er was.
Bang!
Another shot rang out. This time, Li Chonglou could not dodge.
The powerful impact of the AK hit the bulletproof vest he was holding, like being hit head-on by a small car.
If it were an ordinary person's arm holding the bulletproof vest, it would have instantly fractured.
Although Li Chonglou was unharmed, his arms still ached, and he stumbled back several steps.
But he did not change his direction of advance.
Several more shots followed, precise, but all blocked by the bulletproof vest in his hand.
It had to be said that the quality of this bulletproof vest was truly excellent. It could withstand a 7.62 caliber automatic rifle without being penetrated.
While ordinary people couldn't withstand the impact, it didn't matter to him.
At this moment, the two killers were stunned.
Li Chonglou's performance reminded them of Superman.
Dodging predicted bullets with his speed, and blocking bullets with a bulletproof vest in hand, completely unharmed.
This looked like a myth.
They were so shocked that they stopped shooting.
Liu Ping'er's beautiful eyes widened even further, filled with absolute horror.
If Li Chonglou splitting a rosewood stool with his bare hands had already exceeded her understanding of the human body, then dodging bullets and grabbing equipment like this was like watching a movie.
It was impossible for a normal person to do all this.
Looking at Li Chonglou charging towards her, Liu Ping'er's gaze became distant.
A strange impulse began to stir in her heart.
This man was like a god of war.
So handsome!
No woman could resist such overwhelming security.
"What are you spacing out for? Put it on if you don't want to die." Li Chonglou rushed to Liu Ping'er's side. Seeing her staring at him blankly, he threw the bulletproof vest at her.
At the same time.
In the training area, Xu Tianyou and the others replaced the water bullets with glass beads of the same diameter.
They took cover behind obstacles and fired back.
Men love violence and modifications; water guns, as toys, naturally couldn't satisfy their desires.
So, everyone had upgraded their motors and springs.
They switched to firing 7mm glass beads, and the power increased linearly, with kinetic energy far exceeding the standard.
One shot could shatter double-layered soundproof glass.
Using them here was also a good means of self-defense.
The two killers on the other side did not expect these people to fight back with toy guns. Although the aim was not accurate and the power was not great, they outnumbered them.
More than a dozen people fired from different directions simultaneously. Being hit in the face or the lower body was quite painful.
They had no choice but to seek cover, and the two sides entered a stalemate.
Seeing this, Li Chonglou breathed a sigh of relief.
The diversion over there had relieved a lot of pressure for them.
Otherwise, if all four killers had focused on him and Liu Ping'er, they would have been stripped to the bone even if they hadn't died.
Liu Ping'er fumbled to put on the bulletproof vest, while Li Chonglou, holding the riot control baton, stayed close to the pillar, listening intently for the killers' footsteps.
He would strike them a solid blow as soon as they got close.
Tap, tap, tap...
Just then, the sound of rolling stones echoed, and a cylindrical object appeared at Li Chonglou's feet.
"A grenade?"
Li Chonglou's heart was greatly shaken.
Holding the riot control baton, he instinctively struck the cylindrical object like playing golf, sending it flying in a parabola dozens of meters away.
Bang!
The cylindrical object exploded in mid-air, but there was no flame, only white smoke.
"It's tear gas..." Liu Ping'er recognized the item.
"These beasts not only have guns but also this. The power disparity is too great," Li Chonglou gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Give up. Don't resist futilely. I can promise you a whole corpse," one of the killers said, deliberately lowering his voice.
At this moment, his heart was not calm.
They had received orders to wipe out a club.
After reviewing the information, they thought it was an extremely simple mission.
Who would have thought that so far, they had only killed one person who surrendered?
Especially that thin fellow earlier, who had dodged their hundred-percent accurate shots.
This made him furious.
If they couldn't eliminate everyone present within five minutes, the gunfire and explosions would inevitably attract police attention.
At that point, it would be troublesome.
The two exposed eyes of the killer were filled with malice and venom.
