Chapter 68: Is this something a person would do?

Liu Xiaotian adjusted his stance, trying to keep his vital parts from being exposed to the guns of Xiezi's men.

Although he knew that in such an open environment, that was almost impossible.

He could only try to avoid the gun barrels aimed at his head and other vital spots; the rest was up to He Chen Guang.

Perhaps the danger he was in made He Chen Guang clearly realize that if he couldn't fight like a veteran, then everyone here, including Liu Xiaotian, might die, so his actions were thus clean and decisive.

Even the operation of changing the magazine on a Uzi submachine gun, which he had never really handled, was as familiar to him as his Type 95 assault rifle, with no interval exceeding a second.

Only a dozen or so people were responsible for guarding the Action Team soldiers; the rest, aside from those keeping watch outside the cave, were basking in the sun near the cave entrance.

Because the incident happened suddenly, when Liu Xiaotian had Xiezi under control, they had only just picked up their weapons.

At that moment, Cha Cai, who had been hiding in the dark and had taken out several guys around Xiezi, rushed forward with a rifle in hand, its dark muzzle aimed at them.

No one doubted that, given their current density, if Cha Cai opened fire, even if someone among them could kill him in the chaos, they would likely not survive half of them.

The reason Liu Xiaotian had just assigned the task of eliminating Xiezi's men around him to Cha Cai was not only because He Chen Guang's height resembled that of the "counterfeit goods," but also because Cha Cai was an experienced veteran.

It was precisely because he had killed several targets in a previous mission that Xiezi was hired to come here and eliminate him.

However, Xiezi had no intention of doing what his employer demanded; otherwise, Cha Cai would already be dead, and he wouldn't need to bring so many people.

He had taken a liking to Cha Cai's and He Chen Guang's skills, wanting to recruit them for himself.

But now he didn't know He Chen Guang's identity; otherwise, he would probably have wanted to kill He Chen Guang first.

Perhaps someone would think that these are utterly ruthless people, and in such a situation they would immediately open fire to create an escape opportunity for themselves in the chaos.

Of course, if there was only one person, as long as he wasn't killed instantly, he would surely return fire immediately.

But now there are dozens of people here.

The reason is the same as "three monks have no water to drink."

Everyone has their own selfish motives, hoping someone else will fire first so they can find an opportunity in the chaos.

If it were you who fired first, the other side's gun would surely be aimed at you right away……

Acting as a wedding dress for others is utterly impossible among these extremely selfish bandits.

Precisely because he had figured out their mindset, Liu Xiaotian dared to make such a risky decision.

And the facts proved he was right.

In less than a minute, Li Erniu cut the ropes binding all the captured Action Team soldiers; these men immediately grabbed their weapons and, together with He Chen Guang, took out the dozen or so of Xiezi's men.

Now the only ones still able to confront them are the thirty or forty people closest to the cave entrance.

These people, at this moment, have no intention of fighting the Action Team head-on.

They came just to make money; now that Xiezi has a gun to their heads, their money, if nothing unexpected happens, will surely not be obtained.

Having already taken half the deposit, there's naturally no need to fight desperately anymore; escaping is the proper course.

"You now have two choices: leave on your own, or fight us to the death; I give you ten seconds to decide." Liu Xiaotian said in a low voice to those people while looking at the Action Team members approaching with their guns aimed at him. As soon as he spoke, Xiezi's face changed instantly.

Indeed, he hadn't expected that this young man, who looked to be in his late twenties, would have such deep scheming.

Exactly, that's what he feared most.

He knew perfectly well what kind of people he had brought; Scorpion knew it best in his heart.

If Liu Xiaotian wanted to keep them all, the two sides would inevitably engage in a fight to the death.

By then, the ever-cunning Scorpion would surely find a chance to escape, and might even kill Cha Cai along the way to complete his mission.

Given the current situation, if he still harbored the thought of recruiting Scorpion, he wouldn't be Scorpion anymore.

But Liu Xiaotian's words were tantamount to cutting off his last hope.

Because he knew full well that those fierce-looking men opposite, guns pointed at him and his group, were waiting for exactly those words.

Sure enough, a few seconds after Liu Xiaotian finished speaking, those thirty or forty people began to slowly retreat toward the cave entrance.

Hysteria? Extortion? No, Scorpion did nothing.

Now his mind was racing, thinking about how he could possibly escape in this situation.

After those people rushed out of the cave entrance, they immediately scattered, giving an absolute sense of "when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter."

But Liu Xiaotian wasn't worried that they would take any other action or manage to escape safely.

Because just a few minutes earlier, "Jiaweis" had already alerted him that three helicopters had entered this area.

Needless to say, those must be people from the Warrior School.

Moreover, there were certainly more than just three aircraft coming.

Liu Xiaotian had every reason to believe that the outskirts of this entire area had now been sealed off.

Just as the plot developed, Scorpion's men would hardly have anyone alive leaving.

And Scorpion himself would no longer have the "good luck" from the plot.

Because he had fallen into his own hands! After those people fled, Liu Xiaotian immediately lowered the gun aimed at Scorpion's head and, with one hand, passed the gun to Lin Yuan opposite him.

The moment Lin Yuan took the AK-103, he immediately retrained his aim on Scorpion, finger on the trigger, applying slight pressure.

Liu Xiaotian smiled at Lin Yuan and said:

"I advise you not to rush to fire, but this is merely my personal suggestion, unrelated to our mission."

Lin Yuan looked at Liu Xiaotian in confusion, not understanding his meaning.

As for whether Scorpion would make a move while they were distracted—don't be ridiculous. Even if Liu Xiaotian weren't that foolish to let his guard down before being fully prepared, just He Chen Guang, who bears a deep grudge against Scorpion, and Cha Cai, who narrowly escaped death at Scorpion's hands, would not give Scorpion the slightest chance.
