Chapter 52: Yang and Yin
The blood mist in the stairwell gradually dissipated, and the flat-headed brother and the tattooed brother fell to the ground in embarrassment, their left calf was smoothly cut from the knee by Cao Yin's "chopping string", and the incision was constantly spurting blood outward, and the two of them held their legs and kept wailing and screaming, completely devoid of the arrogance just now.
Cao Yin picked up Brother Pingtou's dagger, walked to the place where the blood had not yet flowed, and said: "Now it's my turn to ask you questions, if you don't cooperate, I will also remove your other leg, but if you answer well, I will consider helping you connect the broken calf, don't doubt my means." β
"This ...... Is this your ability to cut my leg off in an instant! Brother Pingtou's whole face was distorted and deformed because of the severe pain of the wound, he gritted his teeth and glared at Cao Yin, and asked, "Why haven't you fallen yet, I have obviously cut your carotid artery with a dagger!" β
Cao Yin touched the scar on his neck, sneered, and said, "It's my time to ask questions, if you dare to say anything more that has nothing to do with my question, I will make you breathe immediately." β
"Don't ...... Please stop! Brother Pingtou hurriedly said, "What do you want to know, I'll answer you!" β
"Didn't two young men go upstairs just now, did you see them?"
"Met, met, met!" The tattooed brother endured the severe pain and replied, "They broke into the territory of the brothers, and we naturally wanted to give them some color to see, so we just, just ......."
"Speak quickly!"
"We beat them up and threw them into an empty room and locked them up." After the tattooed brother said this, he lowered his head in fear, and his whole body was trembling.
"They are just taking refuge here temporarily, at most they want to find some food, why do you do this to them," Cao Yin sighed and continued to ask, "How many accomplices do you have in this building?" β
"There are four more."
"What are you doing, it's not the Black House Organization, right?"
"We are just ordinary survivors," the tattooed brother said with a sad face, "Big brother, you know, Jianghua City is now cut off from water, electricity and gas, and it is so dangerous outside, food and water are quite valuable resources, how can they be distributed to outsiders, those two guys found out where we stored food, and they happened to be touched by one of our buddies, so it's not too much to teach them a lesson!" β
"Yes," Brother Pingtou said kindly, "and not long ago, the Rainstorm Organization also sent a guy to disguise himself as a survivor to find out about our resource reserves, fortunately it was discovered in time, otherwise our food and drink here would have been looted by their group of thugs, and if these two people were also sent by Rainstorm today, we must not let them go back." β
"Then why did you come to ambush me?" Cao Yin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't have the idea of hitting your granary. β
"Those two young men who went upstairs are your companions, they said that you are the Awakened, and they will give them a head," the tattooed brother said, "So we plan to strike first, and look for an opportunity to subdue you here, but I didn't expect you, as an Awakened One, to have such a strong strength, obviously you looked so weak just now!" β
Cao Yin smiled bitterly, feeling a little speechless, he was obviously so weak just now, his legs were broken, and he was counting on himself to help them get ahead, but when this kind of thing happens, anyone will try their best to grab the life-saving straw.
"Hehe, I'm a little curious, if I'm not there, how long are you going to lock them up?" Cao Yin said, "Since food and water are so precious, I don't think you will give them away, so are you going to lock them up until they starve to death?" β
"Yes, there is such a plan, because I am afraid that they were sent by the rainstorm to step on the spot, and if they are let go, then we will be unlucky next time," said Brother Pingtou, "This is also a helpless thing, in this place where everyone is in danger, it is better to be cruel than to starve your own brother to death." β
"It's very true, when it comes to life-related things, most of them will become selfish and cruel," Cao Yin nodded thoughtfully, "But you treat others cruelly, and you should also be prepared to be treated cruelly by others, right?" β
Before Brother Pingtou and Brother Tattoo could react to the meaning of this sentence, Cao Yin's left index finger flicked towards Brother Pingtou, and Brother Tattoo only heard a faint sound of string vibration in his ears.
At this time, Brother Pingtou suddenly covered his neck tightly with his hands, his bloodshot eyes were wide, the green tendons on both sides of his head burst out like earthworms, his expression was full of shock and panic, and the neck that was tightly pinched by his hands continued to gush blood from his fingers, he gasped quickly but weakly, blowing out a ball of blood-red bubbles on the side of his mouth.
"Ahh The tattooed brother screamed in horror when he saw this scene, and he watched in horror as the flat-headed brother struggled helplessly beside him, twisting his body frantically, and his eyes were full of fear and helplessness of death.
With a cigarette, the flat-headed brother who was originally twitching all over his body no longer moved at all, he stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, his mouth was wide open as if he wanted to inhale air, but it was obvious that he was dead, his throat was completely cut off by Cao Yin's "chopping string" that popped out, and he died of suffocation.
"He is innocent of death," Cao Yin touched the long knife mark on his neck again, and stitched it with "Healing String" to increase the speed of healing, and then snapped a few other fingers with his thumb, and said in an indifferent tone, "Don't blame me for being cruel, after all, it was this bastard who was the first to kill him." β
Cao Yin looked at the tattooed brother and said, "Although the way you speak is really bad, but fortunately, you are not as impulsive as this dead ghost, I will keep my promise to connect your legs." β
"You...... You're going to let me go, right, I didn't hurt you! The tattooed brother was so frightened that he was incontinent and asked tremblingly.
"Yes, although the slap you gave me still hurts," Cao Yin picked up the tattooed brother's broken leg and said, "I'll help you connect the broken leg now, and you can ask your companion to help you get the follow-up fixation and anti-inflammatory!" β
"No, didn't you say you could pick it up for me!" The tattooed brother said with a crying voice, "They will definitely see me as a useless burden, and their group of people will definitely not take care of a waste person with a broken leg!" β
"Are you so selfish to your companions," Cao Yin touched his chin and said, "But you brought it all on yourself, and I won't pity you." β
Cao Yin used "Yue Xian" to sew up the tattooed brother's broken leg, and under the tattooed brother's amazed gaze, Cao Yin suddenly shook his hand and gave him a very loud slap, and said with a smile: "This is to return you, you're welcome." β
The tattooed brother felt the hot pain in his cheeks, but he didn't dare to say more, lowered his head and watched the broken leg being reconnected in such a short time, and muttered: "This ability is really incredible!" β
"When I cut off your calf just now, I tied the aorta on your leg with a string, so you won't bleed too much and die," Cao Yin said, "I didn't intend to kill you from the beginning, do you know why?" β
"No, I don't know," said the tattooed brother, "is it because I'm handsome?" β
"Smack!"
Cao Yin slapped him again, shook his head, and said, "No, you have so many tattoos on your face, I can't tell if you are handsome or ugly, but you are very good." β
"Then I don't know," the tattooed brother touched his face and said, "Big brother, you're quite vindictive......"
"Yes," Cao Yin said, "the people who tried to kill me before are dead, because I have a lot of revenge." β
"Big brother, I have a question, why did you get your neck cut by him but nothing happened?" The tattooed brother asked, "I don't have any malicious intent!" I'm just curious, are you immortal? β
"It's still far from the immortal body, but some vital parts have been strengthened by abilities," Cao Yin said with a smile, "But like ordinary people, as long as you are shot in the heart, you will die." β
"Oh, that's ......," the tattooed brother nodded thoughtfully.
"See if you can walk," Cao Yin said, "take me to those two people, and you let your accomplices release them." β
"This ......" the tattooed brother looked embarrassed and said, "Big brother, why don't you go alone, the interface on my leg is still very painful, although there is no bleeding now, but no matter how superb your ability is, it is impossible for my severed limb to be fixed so quickly." β
"That's right," Cao Yin nodded, "Then you just stay here, don't move around at will, what floor are your buddies on?" β
"Eighth floor."
Cao Yin answered and walked up, not long after Cao Yin went upstairs, the tattooed brother dragged himself against the wall, took out the radio walkie-talkie, he nervously glanced at the staircase, confirmed that Cao Yin was no longer nearby, and said to the walkie-talkie:
"Brother Wu Wu, I'm Tan Wen, the awakened person has gone upstairs, we couldn't stop him, Da Liu has been killed by him, this guy is very powerful, you must use a gun to solve him, his weakness is in the heart, remember, you must shoot him in the heart with a gun!"
"Got it, we'll treat him well," said in a very flat tone on the other side of the intercom, "How are you, are you hurt?" β
"I was also injured, but that kid wasn't ruthless enough to kill me," the tattooed brother continued, "Da Liu was the killer first, but that idiot didn't succeed in killing him, so the awakened person will launch an ability to kill Da Liu, this guy will attack with a very thin silk thread, sharp and invisible, extremely fast, my and Da Liu's legs were cut off in an instant, you must not get close to him, you must use long-range attacks!" β
"I see, since you're injured, stay where you are, and I'll come back to you when I get rid of him...... OVERγ After saying this on the other end of the intercom, he stopped talking.
The tattooed brother held the leg that had just been stitched up and muttered, "Brother Zhong will definitely make you pay the price!" β
Cao Yin hurried upstairs, and when he climbed to the eighth floor, he suddenly saw a man in a black jacket sitting on the highest staircase, talking to the walkie-talkie, holding a double-barreled shotgun in his right hand, and at this time he also happened to notice Cao Yin below.
ββ¦β¦ OVERγ The man ended the call, put away the walkie-talkie, slowly stood up, and looked at Cao Yin expressionlessly.
"You're the Awakened One that Tan Wen said," Zhong Xin asked as he slammed his shotgun to the floor, looking nonchalant, "You killed Da Liu, right?" β
Cao Yin was about 6 meters away from Zhong Xin at this time, and looked vigilantly at this burly man who was about thirty years old, he had already scratched his palm one step ahead of time to activate his ability, and the chopping strings and binding strings were quietly surrounding him.
"If you mean the man with a flat head and a gold chain around his neck, then that's right," Cao Yin said, "are you their companion?" β
"Yes," Zhong Xin said, "You can't use guns in the battle between the awakened, it's too cheap." β
Zhong Xin put the shotgun on the side, and then smiled at Cao Yin and showed Bai Sensen's teeth: "Let me understand whether your ability is as amazing as Tan Wen said." β
After saying that, Zhong Xin's arms suddenly shook, and white mist began to emerge from his whole body, and even his ears, nose and mouth also emitted white mist.
Cao Yin could hear the white mist reacting violently with the air, making a crackling sound.
"'White impermanence' is here to ask for your life!" Zhong Xin muttered, and as soon as his posture flickered, he quickly flashed in front of Cao Yin like a phantom, and at this time, he was wrapped in a thick layer of white mist, and he couldn't even see his expression.
Cao Yin immediately swung the two slashing strings near his right hand to attack Zhong Xin's faces, but the filaments condensed by the "Blood of the Skeleton" suddenly melted and dissolved the moment they touched the white mist covering Zhong Xin's body, leaving not even a trace behind, and Cao Yin himself quickly felt the deadly aura emitted by the white mist.
