Chapter 37 - Butt Protection Squad

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, Putnam’s expression changed. It became a little complicated.

He looked a little regretful, regretful, and… Happy?

Li Zhuo could not understand that expression. However, he was sure that Putnam’s current expression was very sincere and did not contain the slightest bit of concealment.

Even Li Zhuo did not fully understand this person’s true state, so it was almost impossible for him to understand Putnam.

However, he still listened quietly.

“When I got the pistol, I was stunned.”

“However, the gang members did not think that there was anything wrong with this. In their eyes, a wanted criminal who had killed a person and was wanted for murder and looked very fierce would definitely use a gun.”

“I didn’t refuse because I needed the money, but that gang war changed my life completely.”

“I still remember the bullets flying past me. I also remember the gangsters next to me falling down. I still remember the people they paid to escape.”

“Even if they spent a lot of money to hire some people who were wandering in the gray area to help, the enemy still had twice as many people as us, and there were many weapons.”

“At that moment, fear appeared in my heart, and it spread out uncontrollably. However, the thought of living quickly calmed me down. I still remember that the pistol was a little heavy. The hard and cold touch made my right hand tremble slightly.”

“After the first shot, the trembling disappeared. What replaced it was a very familiar feeling. The method of using the pistol is very simple. Hold the pistol firmly, aim at the enemy, and then pull the trigger.”

“After understanding this point, killing became a very simple matter.”

“That day, I used a pistol to kill 23 people. At first, it was for a reward of up to 10,000, but later, it was for survival.”

“However, this made my name on the wanted list even more urgent. I was unable to rent the house I wanted, so I could only take my pets and leave again.”

Putnam did not continue.

Li Zhuo did not even need to guess the rest of the story. He felt a little complicated after hearing this.

Maybe Putnam was really talented in this area. After all, he was very good at using a pistol when he first used it.

However, his character was not meant to be in the assassin business.

“Many things in the world don’t go according to how they should be. It’s the same for the world’s top assassins. We are always powerless.”

“However, we can at least take the initiative when we are powerless, even just a little bit.”

Putnam took out a gun from his coat pocket and gently put it on the table.

“Learn it and understand it. You can never use it, but you can’t be sure if you’ll need it in the future.”

“You can’t be sure that the day you choose not to use it the last time will be the end of your life.”

Li Zhuo looked at the pistol in front of him and fell silent. Just as Putnam said, he might have to use gun skills.

Just as Li Zhuo had thought of escaping from prison before, if he really chose to escape from prison, then he would have to face an endless life of running and hiding.

One more skill would be beneficial to him.

Thinking of this, Li Zhuo raised his head and looked at Putnam’s eyes. It was an encouraging look.

Li Zhuo took a deep breath and raised his hand to hold the pistol on the table. A cold and hard metal sensation came from the skin on his palm. Even though it was just a tool, it still gave Li Zhuo a sense of danger.

“This is a weapon, this is a gun, this is a killing tool.”

“A weapon is dangerous, but after you master a weapon, you can represent danger.”

Li Zhuo listened to these words and repeatedly pondered the meaning behind them.

He could not help but think that if he had mastered this skill long ago, would he have been able to resist when he was framed back then?

Li Zhuo fell silent. He did not like living on the run, but if he could, he did not like the situation where there was no choice. He would resist.

After understanding his inner thoughts, Li Zhuo became firm.

“Mr. Putnam, I think… It looks like there’s one more thing you need to teach me.”

“I’m afraid it’s not just one thing. Other than guns, I also know a lot of killing techniques. I know everything you can imagine.”

…

“So, what should we do now?” Carl looked at Armstrong and asked doubtfully.

Carl did not know why he joined this team, but he kept feeling that this matter sounded very serious. He still cherished his butt.

Armstrong listened to Carl’s words and was silent for a moment. “To be honest, I don’t know either.

“Why don’t we ask Wilson to send us two pairs of iron underwear?”

“…” Carl’s face was full of rejection.

“How about this, you analyze what we should do now?” Armstrong thought for a moment and said.

“Under normal circumstances, it seems that we should first grasp the enemy’s movements, and then decide the next course of action based on this effective information.” Carl gave a direction of action based on experience, and Armstrong immediately nodded.

The two immediately left the recreation room.

Previously, Li Zhuo and Putnam had done some indescribable things in the kitchen, so their first choice was to go to the kitchen to have a look.

However, when the two of them walked into the kitchen, they found that they were no longer there.

“The trail seems to have gone cold. What should we do next?”

Armstrong had already subconsciously thought of Carl as the captain of the ‘Butt Protection Squad’.

Carl touched his chin and thought seriously. “Judging from the behavior of the two of them, where will they go now?”

“Li Zhuo… We haven’t known each other for long. I don’t know him well enough. However, as for Putnam, he’s probably at the gym or the shooting range.”

There was nothing wrong with this analysis. Armstrong immediately agreed and added more information. “Captain, they went to the gym this morning.”

“Then let’s go to the shooting range.”

After the two of them confirmed the direction, they set off again.

Section S was very large, and the shooting range was in the opposite direction of the beach. This distance was not close. When they were about to reach the shooting range, some time had already passed.

Armstrong was even a little worried. Could they have already left the shooting range?

After all, there were many places in Section S that could not be reached only by one road.

When they reached the outside of the shooting range, Putnam’s voice came from the door again.

“That’s it, shoot..”
