Chapter 1443 - 1443: Throwing Shoes to Find Someone

Tang Yunshu's explanation wasn't long, and time didn't allow for a lengthy discourse.

Quickly finishing what needed to be said, she asked, "Do you have a gun?"

"I do."

"Alright, shoot at me. You choose the spot, just don't make it fatal."

While speaking, Tang Yunshu had already retreated to about twenty meters away.

Xiao Feng naturally understood the implication of this request.

Normal people wouldn't want to get shot.

But first was the sneak attack on the Demon Suppression Action Team headquarters, then the rescue of subordinates.

Considering these actions, if she were to emerge unscathed, it would appear somewhat illogical.

Xiao Feng raised his handgun, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Why not do it yourself?"

"Xiao Feng, getting shot by yourself and being shot by someone else are not the same, right?" Tang Yunshu frowned, "We don't have time to waste, shoot now and I won't hold a grudge but will thank you."

"I understand, but shooting at your own people..."

"Since when did you become so indecisive?"

Xiao Feng took a deep breath, nodded heavily, "Stand still, don't move!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yunshu closed her eyes, appearing calm, but if someone were watching closely, they would notice her eyelashes trembling and her body slightly unsteady.

These signs all indicated her inner tension.

Finally, before Xiao Feng fired, she opened her eyes to confirm, "Your marksmanship hasn't deteriorated, right?"

"If you don't trust me, you can do it yourself."

"I trust you!"

Tang Yunshu gritted her teeth and closed her eyes tightly, adopting a stance as if ready to face death, "Hurry up, better now than later."

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

With three gunshots, blood began to flow from Tang Yunshu's left arm, right leg, and left chest.

Out of the three hit areas, two were dangerously close; even a slight deviation could have led to problems.

Tang Yunshu glanced at Xiao Feng, didn't say anything else, only nodded slightly before dragging her two subordinates like dead dogs, gradually disappearing into the night.

The gunshots quickly attracted a crowd to gather.

"Brother Feng, what's going on?" the first to arrive asked.

Xiao Feng pointed in a direction slightly off from where Tang Yunshu had left, saying, "I hit that person, but she still got away."

"Did you see if it was a man or a woman?"

"Couldn't tell, the clothes she wore were like yours, I almost mistook her as one of us."

At this point, someone realized something was off: "That person wore clothes like ours, which means..."

"Which means it's likely someone was killed by her in secret, and then she changed into their clothes," Xiao Feng responded gravely.

Immediately, everyone present was filled with righteous indignation!

"Damn it, only knows how to sneak around, if only she'd face us openly!"

"That scum, if I get my hands on her..."

"Someday, I'll catch you myself!"

Xiao Feng frowned; he least liked hearing such meaningless, almost impotent rage.

But he couldn't help it; everyone has their own personality, and he couldn't stop others from venting their frustration in such a manner.

Everyone returned to the road, Gong Kaishan gritted his teeth, "Search!

Dig up the ground if necessary, but find that person!

We cannot abandon any brother!"

At this time, the identity of the missing person had already been determined.

Most people present had reddening eyes, with anger rushing to their heads, eager to find the person who acted in secrecy and tear them apart!

It's not merely frustration, everyone knows the missing brother most likely faced a misfortune...

The more pressing issue is that this happened right under our noses.

For a time, self-recrimination, annoyance, anger, unwillingness, regret, all these emotions melded together and explosively surfaced.

Everyone's complexion fluctuated between pale and flush, their emotions were extremely unstable, yet they suppressed them, refusing to let emotions dominate their thoughts and actions.

At this moment, Xiao Feng walked over to Gong Kaishan, patting his shoulder, "Leave four to five people with me, we'll search nearby while you transport those on the vehicle back."

As for the spot where the person's clothes had been seized, Xiao Feng naturally hadn't forgotten to ask Tang Yunshu, and he had already decided that even if the search seems abrupt, they must find that person quickly.

Because those ruthless to themselves won't show much mercy to others.

Xiao Feng wasn't optimistic about that person's situation either.

Gong Kaishan once more reflected inwardly on Xiao Feng's "benevolence", leaving four people to join Xiao Feng in searching for the missing team member.

Additionally, they called for support to arrive and assist, aiming to locate the person as quickly as possible.

Watching the vehicle take to the road again, Xiao Feng removed a boot under the puzzled gaze of the four and explained, "This method was often used by vagrants in old times.

The idea was, when at a dead end, one would throw a shoe into the air.

Upon landing, the shoe's pointed toe would indicate a path of escape.

Right now, we have few people, and instead of searching randomly, it's better to gamble, everyone toss your shoes, whichever direction they point to, that's where we go."

The four didn't say much upon hearing this; they each took off a shoe as demonstrated.

Whether Xiao Feng's method would work, no one dared to be certain.

But under current conditions, trying it did bring a slight boost in confidence.

"Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!"

Four shoes landed in succession.

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up, as one shoe's pointed toe was directed right to where the missing person was allegedly hiding.

Without delay, he tossed his shoe and headed in that direction.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before someone shouted, "Found them!"

Everyone swarmed towards the sound, arriving to find the person had a cut on their throat and lay motionless in a teammate's arms.

Xiao Feng hurried forward, pressed a hand on their neck, and although the pulse was faint, he could still feel it.

He quickly took out the trauma medicine given by Sun Shijie and sprinkled the powder on the injured person's throat, saying quickly, "Get them in the car, take them to the hospital at once, there's a chance they'll survive."

The word "chance" that they might survive reinvigorated the spirits of the other four slightly.

Pooling their strengths, they cautiously lifted the person, trying to keep their steps steady towards the escort vehicle at the rear that was smoking green.

The vehicle started, trailing green smoke like a ribbon, especially noticeable at night, heading directly to the nearest hospital.

Whether they could save the person, no one dared to guarantee with certainty.

After all, the trauma medicine given by Sun Shijie, although very effective, wasn't some miraculous cure-all.

If they couldn't be saved, it was simply fate decreeing their hardships...
