Chapter 1 The Most Thrilling Kill

Just as the two missiles collided and exploded in Nancheng, causing the entire city to erupt, and Li Tianran prepared to set off for Kuangxi Island, Lu Chi also completed the most thrilling fight of his life.

…

After several hours of observation, Lu Chi was almost frozen into an ice sculpture before he identified a breakthrough point for his operation.

The small hospital building had only one entrance, and the other access points, such as windows and the outside of the corridors, were protected by sturdy anti-theft bars. Although they could be removed with a hammer, it would create a lot of noise, and if the people inside were alerted, Lu Chi would have no chance to act.

So, if he wanted to break in, he could only enter through that single entrance.

However, Lu Chi observed that the entrance to the small hospital building was constantly guarded, with shifts changing every four hours without interruption.

Before the world changed, Ma Xiao was a thug in a Nancheng triad, known for his brutality. After the world changed, his boss died in the disaster, and the military police launched a large-scale search for criminals. Ma Xiao had no choice but to lead his men to escape the shelter.

Ma Xiao was not only ruthless to others but also to himself. When he led his men to escape the shelter, he was fully prepared. He preferred to spend the last moments of his life rampaging wildly outside the shelter than to be imprisoned like a dog in the shelter's jail.

This kind of person was already prepared to die and could not be intimidated in any way.

So, there was no point in hoping to create psychological pressure through intimidation and make him surrender!

"Five people, changing shifts every four hours… all armed." Lu Chi hid in the ruins a few hundred meters away from the small hospital building, his eyes fixed on the figure of the strong man with a gun at the entrance of the hospital.

To enter the small hospital building, he had to take out the guard first.

Moreover, the whole process had to be silent, without alerting anyone else.

Lu Chi glanced at the sky; night was gradually falling.

He carefully moved his almost frozen body and looked ahead expressionlessly.

When night fell, it would be the best time for him to act.

The waiting was long, and the pervasive cold slowly eroded Lu Chi's body. Finally, the sky completely darkened. Lu Chi saw the strong man who had been guarding the entrance start pacing around, looking somewhat agitated and anxious, and he also checked his watch.

Lu Chi knew that it was almost time for the guard to change.

When people are engaged in tasks such as guarding or reconnaissance, their attention is highly focused and their energy is high at the beginning. At this time, people usually do not make mistakes.

But as the work is about to end, people relax, and their attention decreases significantly. This is an excellent time to strike!

Lu Chi glanced at his pocket watch. Since learning that the shifts changed every four hours, he had been intentionally monitoring the changeover time. At this moment, there were still five minutes until the next change, and each time, the replacement would arrive two minutes early.

In other words, he had three minutes to act!

Lu Chi couldn't wait any longer. The temperature at night was lower, and if he waited another four hours, Lu Chi was worried that he would die in the ruins.

*Pa!*

Lu Chi tied the shotgun to his back, then picked up the hammer and silently crept forward.

"Damn it! This environment is not fit for humans… I'm about ready to go back to the shelter and confess my sins!" The strong man responsible for guarding muttered, stomping his feet and rubbing his face to alleviate the cold. He kept looking at his watch, holding the blood-stained automatic rifle with a sharp bayonet in one hand.

"Old Miaozi! Come down and replace me! My stomach hurts; I can't hold it anymore!" The strong man picked up the walkie-talkie and said sneakily.

"…" Soon, a muffled response came from the walkie-talkie, as his companion slurped noodles: "You're always so troublesome! I'm eating, let me finish this last bite!"

"I haven't even started shitting yet, and you're already eating?" The strong man made a vulgar joke with his companion, then urged, "Hurry up!"

"Fuck your grandpa…" His companion cursed angrily, "Wait, I'm going to make you work the full shift. I won't come down a minute early!"

"Hello? Hello?" The strong man shouted twice more, but there was no response from the walkie-talkie.

The strong man cursed a few times and then began wandering around in front of the hospital entrance.

Although Ma Xiao had stipulated that shifts should change every four hours and that the person on duty must guard the gate and not leave their post without permission, no one had come here since they occupied the hospital. The bandits outside were almost all dead, and the military police didn't have the energy to search for them, so after several days, the guards gradually relaxed.

Because the hospital's electricity had long been cut off, and lighting a fire in the dark ruins would easily attract attention, the bandits did not light any lights but used fluorescent sticks as a light source.

However, the illumination range of the fluorescent sticks was only a meter or two. In the darkness, a ghostly shadow crept forward silently.

*Whirr!*

The strong man faced the wall, unzipped his pants and began to relieve himself, holding the gun in one hand, his pants in the other, and a fluorescent stick in his mouth.

Everything was quiet.

Lu Chi had silently crept up behind the strong man, expressionlessly raising the hammer in his hand.

*Whoosh!*

The strong man suddenly turned his head!

Humans, like many other creatures, possess a mysterious sense of danger, but in long periods of leisure, in the comfort of a warm bed, this sense of danger gradually atrophies. Only assassins and special forces who constantly live on the edge of life and death retain this ability.

Since the world changed, as these bandits left the shelter and struggled to survive in the dangerous ruins, the abilities deep within their genes reappeared.

Lu Chi's movements were small, his footsteps made no sound, and the act of raising the hammer was very quiet.

Everything was perfect.

The strong man heard nothing and saw nothing, but he inexplicably felt the hairs on his body stand on end!

When he suddenly turned his head, in the faint green light of the fluorescent stick, he saw a ghost-like face and a hammer whistling through the air!

*Whoosh!*

The strong man reacted quickly. He directly swung the rifle in his left hand, using the bayonet on the gun to stab at Lu Chi.

His hand had been holding the butt of the gun. At this distance, there was no time for him to pull the trigger, so he could only use the gun as a spear in a hurry!

Under intense stress, the body's instinct causes muscles to tense. The strong man wanted to issue a warning, but his jaw muscles were tense, causing him to bite down on the fluorescent stick in his mouth, making a "woo woo" sound, but unable to shout loudly!

The strong man was quick-witted and fast-handed. He had also been through several battles. Although it was a hasty move, the angle of the bayonet was very tricky, aimed directly at Lu Chi's chest!

His plan was good. If Lu Chi wanted to avoid this stab, he would have to retreat!

As long as Lu Chi took a step back, he could escape the hammer's attack range!

If Lu Chi didn't retreat, then this stab would take Lu Chi's life!

At worst, they would die together!

But Lu Chi's legs were as if rooted to the ground, and his body didn't move. His left hand grabbed the blade of the bayonet like lightning. As he clenched it tightly, his flesh was immediately torn open by the sharp blade. His finger bones came into contact with the blade, making an ugly grinding sound!

In an instant, blood gushed from Lu Chi's palm!

But his palm gripped the bayonet as if in a vise, with such force that the bayonet, which could have pierced his chest, stopped three inches from his chest and could not move forward!

At the same time, the whistling hammer finally came down.

*Bang!*

With a muffled sound, the strong man's skull completely collapsed.

*Bang!*

With another muffled sound, the strong man's head was smashed to pieces.

*Whirr!*

The strong man's corpse limply released the belt of his pants with its right hand, and the overly loose thermal pants slowly fell to his ankles, revealing hairy thighs and bright red underwear underneath…
