He made a very clever move.

If Li Tianran had said, "Kill one of your companions, and you will be forgiven," then to fulfill that condition, half of the bandits would have to die!

That way, the bandits would certainly think Li Tianran was trying to divide them.

But Li Tianran only named one person to be killed, which made the bandits think more deeply.

Was it because Li Tianran had a grudge against Meng Sen?

Or was it because Li Tianran knew Meng Sen had committed the most evil deeds and really just wanted to get rid of him? And Li Tianran didn't care about the lives of the other bandits at all?

As long as those bandits began to overthink and their will wavered, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

When a chance of survival appears, people often no longer have the will to fight to the death.

With just a few words, Li Tianran disintegrated the bandits' already unreliable alliance.

In fact, Li Tianran had already learned about the situation of the bandits on the second floor through the video footage sent back by the patrol guards, and he also knew very well the position of Meng Sen among these people.

In Li Tianran's view, after the bandits saw Wells' body, their will to resist was already on the verge of collapse, but Meng Sen had intimidated them with a tough attitude, so they dared not give up resistance.

As long as Meng Sen could be taken care of, the remaining bandits would collapse without a fight.

Li Tianran stood there, silently calculating the success rate of his plan.

"Should be about eighty percent?" Li Tianran muttered to himself, then suddenly smiled: "No, it should be ninety percent!"

Li Tianran felt that his plan would definitely work.

Because from the bandits' point of view, facing a self-defense force that far outnumbered them, they had no advantage at all. If they fought, they would definitely be wiped out, with no place to bury their bodies.

But if they killed Meng Sen and gambled on the truthfulness of Li Tianran's promise, then they would still have a glimmer of hope for survival.

Two choices were before them.

One was a one hundred percent chance of death, and the other was a fifty percent chance of death.

It shouldn't be a difficult choice to make.

Li Tianran glanced at his watch, and then shouted loudly: "You have two minutes and thirty seconds left!"

...

At this time, on the second floor of the hotel, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Meng Sen stood in front of the window, holding a shotgun in both hands, his eyes like those of a hungry wolf as he sized up the four bandits standing next to him. He cursed fiercely: "What are you looking at me for? You wouldn't really believe that bastard's words, would you? Do you really think he'll let you go?"

The four bandits moved their feet quietly, surrounding Meng Sen.

The black-faced strong man who had been scolded by Meng Sen earlier said with a gloomy face, "You've killed people, we haven't. Even if we're caught by the military police, we won't be sentenced to death."

"That's right!" A fat man next to him immediately echoed: "You've committed too many crimes, but we don't have to die with you."

"Since there's a chance to live, of course we're willing to try!" A scarred man added grimly.

The last remaining bandit didn't speak, but the shotgun in his hand, aimed at Meng Sen's head, was enough to show his attitude.

"Damn you all! You're a bunch of pigs! Hopeless pigs!" Meng Sen looked at their actions, the veins on his neck bulging. He sneered, "Do you know what wartime law is? You haven't killed anyone, but you've robbed grain, disrupted public order, and committed gang crimes! That's still punishable by death!"

"These people aren't military police, I recognize them. They're the ones we robbed before," the black-faced strong man said. "Now the military police don't have time to care about us. As long as we can leave here alive, we can escape Nancheng at any time. Then the world is vast, where will the military police go to catch us?"

"You..." Meng Sen was furious. He was about to step forward and slap the black-faced strong man when a very crisp sound of a bullet being loaded rang out in the room.

Click!

The scarred man raised his shotgun expressionlessly and pointed it directly at Meng Sen's chest, coldly saying, "What time is it, and you're still showing off your position as the number two? You're about to die! We're going to use your life to exchange for a pardon!"

Ka-la-la!

As the scarred man said these words, the other three bandits also raised their guns and aimed at Meng Sen.

At this distance, as long as one person pulled the trigger, Meng Sen would immediately turn into a hornet's nest!

A drop of cold sweat trickled down Meng Sen's forehead, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

Although he was fierce, he was still scared when facing four guns at the same time. He gritted his teeth and then said in a compromising tone: "Brothers, brothers! Listen to me, we've been together for seven or eight days after all. Even if we were raising a puppy, we should have some feelings. Are you really going to be so heartless and kill me?"

The four bandits hesitated when Meng Sen said these words.

Just like Meng Sen said, although they were a group of inhuman villains, they had been doing evil together for the past week, enjoying the resources they had robbed, drinking and eating meat, which had created a sense of familiarity between them, a kind of "friendship."

Facing such a person, if they were to suddenly kill him, they really couldn't bring themselves to do it for a moment.

Seeing his companions hesitating, Meng Sen's face showed a pleading expression: "How about this, if you want to leave, I won't stop you! But can you let your brother go? Just like you said, you haven't committed any major crimes, they won't kill you! After you leave, I'll fend for myself here, okay?"

The four bandits exchanged glances at these words, a tangled look in their eyes, and the muzzles of their guns slowly lowered a little.

At this moment, a fierce and cunning smile appeared on the corner of Meng Sen's mouth!

He raised the shotgun in his hand and pulled the trigger, sparks flying everywhere. The black-faced strong man standing in front of him was hit directly in the chest, his body sent flying three or four meters by the powerful impact. A large bloody hole had been blasted in his chest, and it was clear that he wouldn't survive!

The sudden change stunned the remaining three bandits.

But 0.1 seconds later, they roared angrily and pulled the triggers of their shotguns.

Meng Sen had already dropped the shotgun after firing the first shot. He didn't know when he had produced a sharp military knife. He grabbed the scarred man's wrist with one hand and pressed it down, then swung his right hand, and the military knife pierced directly into the scarred man's neck, instantly severing his carotid artery!

In an instant, blood spurted out like a fountain!

The scarred man staggered and fell down, the aim of the shotgun in his hand shifting and hitting the pillar next to him.

But Meng Sen could no longer dodge the bullets from the fat man and the other bandit.

Bang!

Bang!

Two gunshots!

Meng Sen, who had just completed a double kill and was extremely fierce, was shot. His left calf was broken directly, the white bone stubble exposed to the air, making one's scalp tingle.

At the same time, he was also shot in the abdomen. The outermost down jacket was torn open, and blood flowed out, dyeing the snow-white down a glaring red!

"Hahaha! You want to use my head... to exchange for a pardon? You're still too tender! If you don't use two lives as a foundation, can your kind easily take my life?" Although Meng Sen was as miserable as a demon crawling out of hell, collapsed against the wall, covered in blood, he still laughed wildly, a hint of mockery towards the remaining two bandits appearing on his ferocious face: "You idiots, you actually still dream of being able to live... In this chaotic world, no one will keep their promises!"

"Do you think your fate will be any better than mine?"

"You'll only die a few minutes later than me!"

"I'll be waiting for you in hell, and then... we'll settle the score!"

Meng Sen vomited blood, he finally couldn't hold on any longer. He had been hit twice at close range by a shotgun, even an iron man would be shattered!

"You bastard! You're about to die, and you still want to drag two people down with you!" The fat man had been stunned just now, but after reacting, he cursed angrily. He grabbed the dagger that Meng Sen had dropped earlier, walked in front of Meng Sen, and stabbed down!

Puff!

Meng Sen's head tilted, and his body slumped softly.

...

A minute later.

In the eyes of Li Tianran and many self-defense队员, two bandits dragged Meng Sen's body out of the hotel door.

"We surrender! We surrender!"
