Chapter 82 The Magician
"Bang!"
By the time the second shot rang out, Li Wei had already taken cover.
But the shot didn't hit him; it hit the assassin instead.
Silence?
Do not!
It's a warning!
Someone is warning me not to get involved in this anymore!
Li Wei, who was hiding behind the cover, immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.
It wasn't a call to Tessa or Thomas, not even to Wesker or Antonio, but to Danielle.
The reality, however, matched his worst-case scenario.
Danielle didn't answer.
Danielle doesn't have Thomas's background, isn't as resourceful as Tessa, isn't as good at fighting as Wesker, and isn't even as influential as Antonio.
She had even just "taken leave" and was out on her own.
Without a doubt, she is the best target.
However, Wesker should have been with Arafat and Gris following Danielle.
Levi then called Wesker.
However, Wesker didn't answer...
At this moment, Li Wei was no longer as excited and nervous as before.
There are only two possibilities why Wesker isn't answering the phone.
Either he was killed.
Either he's busy dealing with "problems" and doesn't have time to answer the phone.
Levi believed that, given Wesker's abilities, the latter was more likely.
Having figured everything out, Li Wei didn't continue making calls to others. Instead, he put away his phone and glanced at the wounds on Eli and the assassin.
Angle, bullet hole shape, wind speed...
HK G28, at the twelve o'clock position, on the rooftop 600 meters away.
First shot hit... His combat experience is quite remarkable, definitely not something that can be developed on the shooting range.
"So, there are actually so many masters in this world?"
Li Wei discovered that ever since he became involved with the Revival Society, one expert after another had been popping up to cause him trouble.
Claude, Eli, and that guy on the roof...
However, this is a good thing.
And it's a fun and good thing.
"Just deal with him and that's it."
Li Wei licked his lips excitedly, and without warning, he dashed out.
He did not move in an irregular serpentine pattern because it is not very meaningful for a master, as the opponent can accurately predict the direction and distance of the movement.
The best option can be summed up in one word—fast!
It's unrealistic to expect it to be faster than a bullet's flight speed.
It is faster than the opponent's aiming and prediction, and faster than the opponent's reaction and action!
Therefore, Li Weicheng took a branch line and ran wildly ahead.
"Bang!"
Before the third shot rang out, the bullet had already pierced Livina's calf, which had just healed under the regeneration (intermediate) treatment.
The instinctive spasm of his muscles nearly caused Li Wei to fall while running, but he did not stop. Instead, he rolled forward on the spot, crossed the street, and arrived at a pharmacy on the other side of the street.
Despite his injury, Li Wei remained calm. Instead, he took out gauze and bandages from his first-aid kit, using them to stop the bleeding while assessing the extent of the gunshot wound.
First of all, his strategy worked; otherwise, the shot should have hit him in the head.
Secondly, the fact that the other party did not withdraw after being warned suggests that he may have received more than one order.
While cleaning his wound, Li Wei also glanced at the wound on his leg.
The bullet had strong penetrating power and did not remain inside the body, but instead caused a penetrating wound.
In addition, the fact that the gunshot was heard after the person was shot first indicates that the other party did not use standard bullets, but special "supersonic bullets".
In order to achieve concealment and high speed, this type of bullet sacrifices some of its power, focusing instead on its wound regeneration (intermediate level)...
Through the bullet hole formed by the penetrating wound, Li Wei could clearly see the muscles inside wriggling and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It looks a bit disgusting, but there's no doubt that as long as you're not hit in a vital area, you can tough it out.
Of course, this is on the premise that you can endure the physical pain.
"Superpowers? Or something like a virus or human modification?"
A voice came from above. Li Wei looked up and saw a staff member in the pharmacy staring dumbfounded at Li Wei's wound, which had begun to grow new skin, through the glass.
"It's magic."
Li Weishun made up some nonsense, then reached out his hand to him.
"I've run out of bandages and gauze, so please send over two more rolls."
After saying that, Li Wei reached into his pocket, ready to take out money.
The embarrassing thing was that he turned all his pockets inside out, but found he didn't have a single coin.
"Never mind, forget I said anything."
Li Wei, whose injuries had mostly healed, stood up.
Just as he was about to continue running the remaining 400 meters, the staff member reached out the door and threw two rolls of brand-new bandages and gauze over.
"I'll treat you; after all, magicians are a rare sight these days."
Li Wei didn't know whether the other person was serious or just continuing to make things up.
But the gauze and bandages were real.
Thanks!
Li Wei put away the gauze and bandages and saluted the other party.
However, the other party's next move made Li Wei realize what he was up to.
He took out his phone and pointed it at Li Wei.
"Hey buddy, can you cast a fireball or an ice arrow or something? Since I'm treating, let me have a chance on Twitter, okay?"
"Read fewer comics and watch fewer movies."
After Li Wei finished speaking, he darted out and entered a small alley.
This alley is formed by the walls of two buildings, and it is open on both sides, but the road in the middle is very narrow.
This makes Li Wei look like a target moving at high speed in a straight line on a track.
And so, naturally, gunshots rang out again.
"Bang!"
But the shot missed.
Li Wei suddenly stopped in his tracks when he reached the middle of the alley, and the shot hit him less than two centimeters from his toes.
If Li Wei hadn't stopped, the force would have easily pierced his knee.
Just as the rubble on the ground was flying everywhere, Li Wei pulsated his legs again, this time at an extreme burst regardless of whether his body could adapt.
When Li Wei took his first step on the water, he even felt a slight pain in his knees and calf muscles.
However, he showed no sign of stopping; instead, he ran even faster.
He knew that this trick could only fool the other party once, and he had to use this brief "window of opportunity" to escape the alley, otherwise the next bullet would either hit his chest or his head.
Li Wei ran as fast as he could, and the moment he stepped out of the alley, gunshots rang out.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three shots!
The first shot hit his thigh.
As Li Weishun fell, he rolled over.
As a result, the second shot, which was supposed to hit his chest, missed.
But the shot that was originally aimed at the knee hit Li Wei's left shoulder instead.
Rolling to the back of a car on the side of the road, Li Wei ignored the wound on his thigh and instead glanced at the bloody hole in his shoulder.
He tried to raise his left hand and found that it was shaking uncontrollably and he could barely muster any strength.
It wasn't that he was scared, but that the shot had broken his left scapula and part of his tendons.
"This is getting a bit troublesome..."
Li Wei didn't know if a broken bone could heal itself, so he decided to give it a try.
Using his right hand, he roughly felt around his shoulder and quickly found the protrusion.
He tried to pry it open with his hands, and amidst a piercing pain, he used his right hand as a splint and cast, forcibly putting the broken pieces of bone back together.
"Damn! That really hurts!"
Li Wei was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't let go.
Soon, Li Wei felt that the pain in his shoulder had subsided.
I don't know if it's just numb from the pain, or if it's healed properly.
Before Li Wei could figure out the problem, three more gunshots rang out.
