"It's rare for me to be this unlucky, right?"
In the bank building that was held hostage by unknown criminals, Xiao Zhengyi sighed helplessly among the group of hostages and muttered to himself.
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a serious injury. Xiao Zhengyi's miserable state when he was sent to the hospital was far beyond the scope of a serious injury. It was almost to the extent that after the emergency treatment, the doctor would helplessly say to the family members, "We tried our best, but whether he can wake up is still a problem." In theory, even if he could be cured, he would not be able to leave the hospital for three to five months.
But unexpectedly, after two days, not only did Xiao Zhengyi wake up, but his injuries also recovered quickly, as if he was slapping the face of the medical world. Now, except for the fracture of his arm, his ankle, and his limping, his other injuries were almost healed.
The reason for this was not only because Xiao Zhengyi's body had been improved by bathing in the aura, but also because Xu Shenxing secretly gave him the holy elixir he brought from Oravia when he visited.
After transmigrating to this world, the holy elixir wasn't like in Oravia. As long as the person died for less than ten minutes, the person's soul hadn't dissipated, and the person's body was at least two-thirds intact, the holy elixir could still be used as a common potion to speed up the body's recovery.
Originally, this could be considered a good thing. After all, no one wanted to be tied up like a mummy and lie motionless in the hospital for several months.
What was the difference between that and a salted fish …
But when Xiao Zhengyi had just recovered, the hospital bill was also sent over.
This guy was a hedonistic Moonlight Clan, so naturally, he could not pay back the large amount of medical expenses in a short period of time.
In addition, Fang Xiaoqing had temporarily left Jiang Jin because of family matters. Like Xu Shenxing, Xiao Zhengyi, who was slightly male chauvinistic, naturally could not make a phone call and ask his girlfriend to send him money, right?
In the end, Xiao Zhengyi simply called Xu Feng. He felt that his injury this time should be considered a work injury, so it should be no problem to write it off.
Fortunately, Xu Feng was a good boss. Hearing him speak until he was about to cry, he transferred the money to his bank card without saying a word.
However, when it rains, it pours. There was a problem with the hospital's online settlement technology, so it was temporarily suspended and only accepted cash.
This made Xiao Zhengyi have to walk with his arm in a sling and run to the bank near the hospital to withdraw money.
Then, he and the group of onlookers were blocked here and became hostages.
To encounter this kind of thing when he came out to withdraw money, he was really too unlucky!
Xiao Zhengyi wanted to cry.
What gave him the biggest headache was that his gun and Yuan Rong Sword were both left in the hospital and not with him. Other than the '50 cents bracelet + 2' on his hand and the fact that his HP was slightly higher than the average person, he was no different from the average person.
The gangsters vigilantly patrolled around the hostages.
Xiao Zhengyi also took this opportunity to learn about the other party's equipment. The more he looked, the more frightened he became. Almost every gangster had an AK47 in their hands and a pistol of unknown model on their waists.
A few of the bandits even had heavy weapons such as rocket launchers in their hands. It would cost a lot to get these things in China, where the management of firearms was extremely strict. Xiao Zhengyi always felt that it was not worth it to rob a bank just for that.
The bulging tactical vests of these guys were probably filled with ammunition for resupply. There was an 80% chance that they were wearing bulletproof vests under their tactical vests.
In addition, they seemed to have prepared a lot of things such as gas masks, infrared scopes, communication devices, and spare daggers.
If it was a surprise attack and a one-on-one fight, Xiao Zhengyi was confident that he could take down one or two of them, even if his hands and feet were injured.
However, the number of gangsters was not small. He was afraid that once he was exposed, he would immediately be shot into a sieve by a hail of bullets.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Song and Mrs. Song?"
Suddenly, a gangster with a protruding mouth and monkey-like cheeks recognized Song Cheng and his wife in the crowd.
He grabbed Song Cheng's collar and pulled Song Cheng, who was a size bigger than him, out of the crowd of hostages.
Seeing this slightly comical scene, Xiao Zhengyi's eyes became more and more serious.
"I keep feeling that something is wrong …"
He whispered to himself.
At this time, Song Yu's mother rushed over as if she wanted to snatch her husband back. However, she was knocked to the ground by the protruding mouth and monkey-like face guy with the butt of his gun.
"Our boss is negotiating with the police. Mr. Song, you happen to look familiar, so we'll let you be the first hostage." Then, he turned to look at Mrs. Song, who still hadn't recovered from the shock, and said, "As the saying goes, the government will most likely not agree to our first request … In other words, your husband is dead meat for sure. But it doesn't matter, because it will soon be your turn to be the second hostage. Let's get you to accompany your husband as soon as possible! After we kill the two of you, the other side should be able to understand that what we are doing this time is not just for fun. They will seriously consider our request … "
"Wait a minute!"
At this time, Xiao Zhengyi suddenly shouted.
The protruding mouth and monkey-like face guy's slender eyes revealed a trace of coldness. He looked at Xiao Zhengyi, who dared to speak against him. However, when he saw the bandages on his feet and the plaster on his hands, he immediately laughed disdainfully.
"What, you're not satisfied with my allocation?"
"Why would I be? I just think that it's a waste to take an old man with poor health as a hostage. If the hostage dies before the negotiation is finished, wouldn't it be a waste? Why don't you take me as a hostage? My body is strong and can withstand the torment. You see, it's fine even if my arms and legs are broken! "
Xiao Zhengyi tried hard to show a flattering expression on his face.
Of course, he was also afraid of death. However, when the two people he had never met before were about to die as hostages destined to be killed, he couldn't help but stand up.
He didn't want to be a hero or anything. It was just that deep sense of justice in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have investigated the car theft case alone with the identity of a small police officer and risked offending some people he shouldn't have.
"Well said." The protruding mouth and monkey-like face guy first showed an expression of appreciation, but the next moment, his expression became ferocious. "But it's useless. Since you dare to disobey my decision, you should be mentally prepared! "
As he spoke, he aimed the muzzle in his hand at Xiao Zhengyi and shot a fatal bullet!
However, at this moment, a hand blocked in front of Xiao Zhengyi. The bullet that should have blown his head off didn't even graze the oily skin of the hand and was bounced off just like that.
"What …" The protruding mouth and monkey-like face guy's eyes were full of shock.
Xiao Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief. "You're finally here!"
"En, well done." The corners of Old Xu's mouth curled up slightly, then he turned his gaze to the other side. "Leave the rest to me."
