Chapter 59: The Line Between Life and Death
At the last moment, Zhang Heng turned sideways and rolled to the other side, avoiding his head from making intimate contact with the stone.
He didn't see the dark shadow behind him, nor did he hear the footsteps of the other party, but he still noticed that someone was coming behind him, and he was thanks to this terrifying storm.
In order to avoid inhaling too many sand grains, Zhang Heng always turned his back to the direction where the wind was blowing, so that the attacker was at his upwind port, and when approaching him, his body would block part of the wind and sand, Zhang Heng noticed the change in the wind, so he could dodge this blow at a critical moment.
In contrast, the black shadow's reaction was half a beat slower, obviously he didn't expect Zhang Heng to survive the sneak attack, and when he was still stunned, he was already crushed to the ground by Zhang Heng with a clean hug.
Although the black shadow also covered his face, Zhang Heng could easily identify the person who attacked him as Bruno from his size.
This is not good news.
Because the two props on Bruno's body were now with him, it was impossible for him to choose such a radical strategy in this battle when he had nothing, and he specially hid nearby and waited to attack Zhang Heng.
What's more, in the current situation, Zhang Heng can't see the nearby environment clearly, and Bruno shouldn't be able to see it either, so how did he know that Zhang Heng had come to the hood?
These thoughts flashed through Zhang Heng's mind, and by the time he realized the danger, his other thick arm had been silently strangled around his neck.
Jarley, he obviously had a way to maintain a certain vision in such an environment, and the first thing he did when the sandstorm fell was to find Bruno.
Bruno knew very well that Jia Lai had only intended to use him as bait from the beginning, but what he didn't expect was that Jia Lai didn't tell him what he wanted him to do until the last moment, and it was difficult for Bruno to refuse, not only because he also wanted Zhang Heng to fall in this desert, but also because he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
Jia Lai, who has opened his horizons, is the strongest existence in this sandstorm, if you want to kill him, there are too many ways, and it doesn't take much effort, the reason why Jia Lai hasn't done it until now is just because he can still exert a little bait residual heat.
In fact, in Bruno's opinion, since Jia Lai can see the people nearby without being affected by the dust, he doesn't need to come to him at all, and just kill everyone by himself, but everything that happened after that seems to prove that Jia Lai's attention to Zhang Heng is not unreasonable.
He attacked Zhang Heng and failed, but was pressed to the sand by the other party, the hot sand burned his forehead, and the fear in his heart also climbed to the top, Bruno thought that he was dead this time, until Jia Lai roared his name angrily and told him to do it, he came back to his senses.
However, Bruno only glanced in the direction of the two of them, and then struggled to get up from the ground, and instead of making another move, he chose a random direction and plunged headlong into the dust.
Of course, Bruno hopes that Zhang Heng will hang up, so that he will be the candidate for the first place, but he also knows very well that if he helps Jia Lai kill Zhang Heng, then he will definitely be the next person to die, Jia Lai's vision is too dominant in this sandstorm, and he alone can't escape from the palm of the other party's hand.
Therefore, when Jia Lai and Zhang Heng exchanged hands, Bruno chose another way, he decided to escape from this area and hide in a place where Jia Lai could not find it, so that if Jia Lai succeeded in killing Zhang Heng, and he survived until the sandstorm passed, he could get the final place by virtue of his performance advantage.
Theoretically speaking, there is nothing wrong with his choice, and success or failure only depends on whether Jia Lai can kill Zhang Heng.
However, there was no cover to hide in the direction he chose to flee, and it was more likely that he had suffocated to death before the storm stopped.
Jia Lai obviously also knew that Bruno was completely unreliable, and the latter's escape did not surprise him too much, Jia Lai knew very well what Bruno was paying attention to, and sneered twice, but he didn't have time to pay attention to the fleeing Bruno for the time being, in his opinion, only Zhang Heng was his biggest threat, so he continued to increase the strength on his arm.
NASA has conducted arm strength tests before, and Jia Lai's performance at that time was as messy as his previous tests, but in fact, his strength was the best among everyone, and he was above Zhang Heng.
When dealing with coyotes, he easily choked the coyote's neck with only one hand, no matter how the latter broke free, Jia Lai was also confident to suppress Zhang Heng with strength, but the next moment his pupils shrank suddenly, Jia Lai quickly turned his head, and at the same time, a cold light flashed where his chin was originally located.
As long as it was half a second later, the steak knife might have been stuck in his throat, and Jia Lai didn't even see how Zhang Heng made a move, and his back was also shocked by this cold sweat.
However, he did not let go of the hand on Zhang Heng's neck because of this, but tried to use his other hand to jam Zhang Heng's hand holding the knife.
However, the next moment Zhang Heng's counterattack had come in advance, he used his two legs to clamp Jia Lai's neck first, and at the same time, his waist slammed into force, and the two rolled half a circle on the sand, and when they re-stabilized their figures, the positions had been reversed, this time Zhang Heng was on top, and at the same time, the steak knife in his hand was only less than two centimeters away from Jia Lai's right eye.
Zhang Heng did not deliberately practice wrestling, this trick was actually taught to him by Annie, used to get rid of the other party's control when he was close, the two have practiced many times, the location is unknown, but he does not use much in the script of Black Sail, because when he left Nassau in the later period, he was already the famous pirate king of the seven seas, and few people dared to come to him to duel again.
So strictly speaking, this is the first time this trick has come in handy, and now it is Jia Lai's turn to hang by a thread, he used his arm to support Zhang Heng's wrist, trying to keep the butter knife away from his eyeballs, but it was not until this moment that Jia Lai realized that he was not the only one who concealed his strength in the physical test.
However, even if Zhang Heng has been insisting on exercising in the gym during this period of time, NASA also has relevant physical training, but in terms of pure strength, Zhang Heng is still at a disadvantage compared with Jia Lai, but just like Zhang Heng's previous analysis, it is not the best choice for Jia Lai to do it at this time.
Because although strength is not Zhang Heng's strong point, his endurance has always been quite good.
And you must know that the three of them have experienced a whole day of desert rampage before, and they haven't been able to close their eyes at night after that, and now more than three hours have passed since breakfast, and the bodies of the three are not in the best state, but because of the difference in endurance, Zhang Heng has been affected the least.
In this way, Zhang Heng surpassed Jia Lai in strength.
