Saber felt that he was extremely unlucky. The alley that he had casually chosen was unexpectedly deep.
This was also one of the bad consequences of not being familiar with the terrain. Saber looked at the towering walls on both sides with a toothache. This damned alley did not even leave him a place to climb. Behind him, he did not even need to turn around to know that the three assassins had caught up to him.
After turning a corner, Saber finally saw an intersection before him. A smile appeared on his face. However, before the smile disappeared, a tall black man in a black trench coat walked out from the left side of the street. A little girl in a dirty dress walked out from the right side of the street.
Saber showed no hesitation. He pulled out a handgun from his pocket and fired out two bullets, forcing the black man to take two steps back.
The black man took two steps back. When he saw Saber turning around to run away, his face sank and he pulled out an … assault rifle from his trench coat.
"Damn it!"
"Kid, run!"
The young man only had time to curse before turning around and running away amidst the roaring metal storm and the screams of the little girl who had mistakenly entered the battlefield. Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! The gunshots that sounded like the God of Death broke the tranquility of the alley. The moment Saber made the 90-degree turn, he felt someone pushing him from behind. He staggered and fell forward. His body, his arms and his face rubbed painfully against the dirty ground. After losing his balance, he fell down.
A painful sensation came from his left leg. It was a strange sensation of numbness and stabbing pain. Saber was very familiar with this pain. He had been shot!
The only thing he could be thankful for was that the person behind him was not holding a large calibre military rifle. Otherwise, his leg would have been crippled. The moment he fell down, the three assassins who heard the gunshots ran over from the other side. Amidst the roaring of bullets, Saber heard the chaotic sound of footsteps.
They were coming! At this moment of life and death, there were pursuers behind him and obstacles in front of him. He had less than three seconds left.
He fell to the ground but struggled to extend his arms forward. He held the cold handle of the M9 with both hands and unlocked the safety. In less than a second, he aimed and pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang!
The bullet flew out from the muzzle and the scorching shell bounced on the ground, producing a crisp sound. The bullet that came from behind hit the stones in the corner, stirring up dust and brick fragments.
Saber's heart was beating fast. At this moment, he could even hear the thumping sound coming from his body. It was like a person who did not know how to smoke inhaled smoke. The world in front of him blurred for a moment, and some kind of switch in his body was turned on.
In front of him, two of the three assassins who were caught off guard fell. One was shot in the heart, the other in the thigh, and the last one was already aiming at him. However, Saber did not have the energy to care about him anymore. He turned around on the ground and did not even have time to aim. He waved the M9 in his hand and threw it at the black man who was rushing over from the corner. The moment the black man dodged subconsciously, Saber gritted his teeth and used his arms and right leg that could still move to support his body. Then, he pounced on the black man.
He was like a predator and an injured beast. He could not see his current appearance, but his eyes were bloodshot. The veins on both sides of his forehead were bulging, making him look particularly terrifying.
"Ah!"
Saber could not help but cry out in pain. However, just as he pounced on the black man, he felt another force awakening in his body.
It was the power of recovery! It was as if a flame had been ignited. He felt a special kind of scorching heat flowing through every blood vessel and every bone in his body. That kind of burning feeling was burning!
It was like the energy in his body was burning. It was like the ignition of firewood. The burning energy merged into his body in a different form. Under the burning pain, he could feel the two bullets that were embedded in his legs being squeezed out little by little by this force.
That's right! Why did he heal so quickly after being pierced by the darts? Why did his appetite increase so much? All of this was for this moment!
A special state that allowed him to quickly recover from his injuries!
With the support of this sudden burst of power, he successfully pounced on the surprised black man from the ground. However, at this moment, a sharp pain accompanied by a gunshot came from his back.
He was hit again!
Fortunately, the bastard behind him was holding a pistol!
However, Saber had already entered a special state of excitement. The pain did not make him retreat. On the contrary, this kind of pain stimulated the hidden fierceness in his bones. Even he himself did not realize that the strength in his arms was increasing. Even if it was only a little, it was enough at this moment of life and death.
Like a beast, he punched the black man's arm, sending the assault rifle in his hand flying. He grabbed the black man's body with both hands, raised his head, and slammed it down.
This fierce headbutt made the black man a little dizzy, and his reaction was a little slow. Then, Saber grabbed his head with both hands. He forcibly turned the black man's body over. The two of them wrestled on the ground, but the black man's body was already in front of him. The black man's hands were also around his neck. He also sensed the danger, and he also exploded!
At this moment, Saber even felt suffocated.
"Pa Pa"
In the chaos of this hand-to-hand fight, the two gunshots were so abrupt. The black man's body stiffened, and his face showed a painful expression. Obviously, his teammate had hit his ally.
But this was a good thing!
Saber felt the strength of the hands around his neck quickly drain away. He grinned at the black man. The hands around his neck suddenly exerted force, grabbed his head, and then turned it left and right.
"Crack"
The sound of bones breaking made people feel cold!
The black man's counterattack completely disappeared at this moment, and the blood oozing from his chest flowed onto Saber's chest. He only had a dagger left in his hand. What was worse was that the last guy was holding a pistol and striding towards Saber. On the third day of his arrival in this world, he had never been so close to death!
However, Saber did not retreat. He pushed the black man's body away. The moment the Russian with a gun saw him, the dagger in Saber's hand was also thrown out.
The bullet hit Saber's abdomen in the next moment, and the sharp dagger pierced the Russian's heart. Blood splattered everywhere.
His body swayed twice. He looked down at the dagger in his heart, as if he could not believe this result! He reached out in vain, trying to grab something. His eyes began to blur, and his body leaned forward. He first knelt on the ground, then fell to the ground.
"Bang"
Dust splashed. The last bullet opened a hole in Saber's abdomen. The scorching energy in his body had begun to weaken, but the two bullets in his thigh had been squeezed out, even though the wound had not healed.
He knew that he would not die! He picked up the black man's assault rifle, propped himself up and crawled up from the alley. Blood had already dyed all his clothes red, but he still could not rest. There was one last fellow, the one who had also been shot in the thigh. He was lying on the ground with his mouth wide open. He looked at the fellow who stood up from the pile of corpses with a ferocious expression.
Saber's cheeks twitched from the pain, but he did not say a word. He limped towards the guy and pressed the cold muzzle against the guy's head.
"Jamie … Jamie sent you?"
The guy was scared silly. He did not answer, but Saber did not need to answer.
"Bang bang bang"
The violent vibrations from the muzzle caused the remaining bullets to rain down on Seiber's body. After the last bullet flew out of the muzzle, Seiber seemed to have lost all his strength. His body wobbled for a moment before collapsing to the ground.
The pain that came from his body made his breathing a little spasmodic, but what was even more profound than the pain was the hunger that came from every cell and every bone in his body!
His body was thirsting for food, thirsting for energy. Only then could he survive!
Saber turned his head with difficulty. The first thing he saw was the girl in a dirty dress with messy hair. Thank God, she did not leave.
She was scared silly, but she was Saber's last hope.
"Child … Come … Help me …"
Catherine didn't know why she had to walk towards that place filled with death and blood after the gunshots subsided. There was a voice in her heart telling her that those people were all dead... and she needed a weapon... a weapon that could be used to protect herself.
A weapon to fight against her sad fate.
The little girl had brown hair and a sallow complexion. She hadn't eaten for a day. Because she hadn't stolen enough money, the 10-year-old girl looked as thin as a gust of wind. She was wearing dirty old clothes, and there were traces of beatings on her arms.
Catherine had seen people with guns on the narrow island. On the narrow island, guns were the symbol of power. No one dared to provoke them, and they could get whatever they wanted.
Catherine did not desire anything, she just wanted a gun. After bringing it back, she could at least exchange it for food.
She was not from Gotham. In Catherine's blurry memories, she once had a happy family. However, due to an accident, she was separated from her parents during a trip. At that time, Gotham's economy was in a mess, and she was sent to an orphanage. However, she was abused by the caretakers and eventually escaped. Now, she was a 'little brat' of Jamie's gang in Gotham. She was responsible for stealing things. Yes, there were all kinds of scum in Jamie's gang. Many of them liked to adopt children like Catherine and steal money for them.
Even if the children were caught, they would not be sent to the police station. At most, they would be beaten up by the owner. In order to ensure the children's' hunger 'for food, they would never let them eat until they were full. Ever since Catherine was separated from her parents, she had been living like this for a year. She was very helpless. She had tried to escape, wanting to find her parents, but she was almost beaten to death that time. Jamie's gang members were all over the docks, and the narrow island was also within their sphere of influence. Where could a child run to?
Hence, from then on, she started to get used to living like this.
She did not manage to steal any money today, but she could pick up a gun. She knew that the lowest level of gangsters yearned for weapons, and this murder weapon, in her eyes, was the best way to exchange it for food.
"Child … Come … Help me …"
When Catherine lowered her head to pick up the M9 that had been soaked by the dirty water in the alley, she suddenly heard the voice. She was startled. Like a frightened rabbit, she wanted to turn around and run away, but the moment she raised her head, she saw the person who had fallen on the ground on his back.
She remembered very clearly that when the gunfight started, he was the one who shouted for her to run.
Yes, he should be a good person.
Hence, Catherine hesitated and did not run away immediately.
You see, stories often start from an accident. Of course, for Saber, stories often start from a massacre.
