Chapter 121 - Assassination

Lan Qi entered Phoenix City's medical center as if nothing had happened.

Early in the morning, on the day when Zero had been rescued by the Phoenix City Army, Lan Qi had used a fake ID card to enter the city. The ID card was a fake, but it was only when compared to Lan Qi's real identity. In fact, the Dorudev he had used to register was there, but that was just another identity of Lankey's.

The White-headed Eagle was not an easy person to give up on. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the Southwest for five years. The sniping in the wilderness had ended in failure, but that didn't mean that zero's life was guaranteed. Whether it was for revenge or for Sauron's orders, Lan Qi had never thought that he would let this opportunity slip by.

However, he also knew that killing Zergs in Phoenix City was a hundred times more difficult than killing Zergs in the wilderness. After all, Lan Qi couldn't cause too much of a commotion in the city, so the best way was to assassinate him.

He'd been lurking in the city for seven days, and what he did every day was dress up as a different kind of person and go to the hospital, memorizing the entire medical center's plane structure while more Lange tried to understand the zero situation.

The fact that Zero was still alive was beyond Lan Qi's expectations. He had not used a normal sniper rifle, but a armor piercing bullet. Even the composite tank could make a hole in it, and Zero was no exception. Although the shot had missed his heart, even a hole in his chest would have been difficult to survive. But Zero had survived. It had to be called a miracle, only it was a miracle that Lankey hated.

After confirming that Zero had not died, the assassination plan had to be carried out even more quickly.

Lan Qi observed that the surviving Zero was still weak. This could be seen from the daily usage of life-saving drugs and equipment in the hospital. However, after three days, Zero's injuries had already started to improve, which meant that he was in the process of recovering and would be discharged soon.

Once they were released from the hospital, it would be extremely difficult for them to assassinate an outstanding sniper.

So Lange decided to start today. He had a simple but effective plan for this, and now was the time to implement it.

Lan Qi followed a doctor named David, who was a surgeon at the hospital and also a doctor in charge of zero. When Dr. David entered the update room, Lan Qi used the angle and obstacles to follow in. No one noticed the whole process, and it was evident how fast the White-headed Eagle was.

Dr. Davy was alone in the locker room, his eyes red. No one could be better off without a night's rest. Now the doctor just wanted to get home from work and have a good night's sleep, but when he put his work clothes in his personal locker and closed it, he found a man standing next to him without a sound.

"Who are you?" exclaimed Dr. Davy.

Lan Qi smiled and said, "You don't need to know."

As he spoke, he quickly struck the doctor's neck with his palm. The palmar border of the hand holds a great force against the great artery of the doctor, halting the supply of blood to the artery. The huge impact immediately stunned the doctor. Lan Qi quickly supported him, preventing his falling body from making too much noise. He tied up the doctor and gagged him. In the end, he was thrown into a storage warehouse large enough to not be discovered even if he were to wake up for a short period of time.

When he was done, Lange took out the doctor's uniform, mask, and work permit and gently closed the door.

By the time Lange emerged from the locker room, he was Dr. Davy.

There was a needle in the pocket of the doctor's uniform, and inside the syringe was a translucent light blue liquid. The liquid was filled with radioactive waste. Even if it was a strong mutated beast, it would not last more than 10 minutes if it was injected directly with this nuclear waste. Lan Qi didn't believe that this body was stronger than a mutated beast, even if it seemed weak and contained an astonishing amount of life force.

He walked slowly, scratching the back of his head from time to time. These were the habits of Dr. Davy, who, after three days of observation, had amazing memory. Lan Qi used a mask to cover most of his face, and acted the part of a doctor.

The White-headed Eagle's plan was very simple. After using the identity of Dr. David to near zero, it would create an opportunity to inject this tube of nuclear waste liquid into Zero's body. Because it was simple, it was unexpected. Very few people could imagine Lan Qi using such a simple and bold plan. Therefore, his chances of success weren't small.

Most of the time, it didn't take much planning to kill a person. Most of the time, it was due to the environment and factors.

"Eh, Doctor, you're still here?"

When they arrived at room zero, a nurse who was pushing a ventilator out of the ward made an unexpected sound when she saw Lance.

Lan Qi nodded, and after quickly recalling the tone and speed of Dr. David's speech, he said, "Yeah, you see, I also forgot to inject a tube of DH52 into the 704 patient. "Well, my dear Angie."

The White-headed Eagle didn't know the nurse's name, but the work pass on the nurse's uniform was clearly indicated. As long as one wasn't blind, they would be able to see it. As for the DH52, it was a life-saving medicine. Lan Qi had asked around about it clearly.

The nurse had no doubt of it, and pushed the ventilator away from Lankey. Lan Qi pushed open the door. The ward was quiet. Zero was lying on the bed with his back facing Lan Qi. The little girl who always followed him around was also not in the room. In general, this kind of environment was beneficial for Lan Qi.

Lan Qi walked over and heard regular breathing. Even without looking, the White-headed Eagle could already picture the scene of Ling Chen sleeping peacefully in its mind. It seemed that his body had just started to recover from zero, and he still needed a lot of sleep to speed up the recovery process. This is good, the zero response during sleep will be minimized.

Walking up to Zero, Lange called out to Dr. David's voice. After making sure there was no reaction, Lan Qi slowly pulled out the nuclear waste syringe from his pocket. He adjusted the needle to point it at the big artery on Zero's neck. Lan Qi's eyes flashed. He immediately stabbed the needle with his hand.

Suddenly, Zero moved.

He shifted ten centimeters in a very weird way, letting Lan Qi's needle sink into the pillow. Lan Qi's face changed. He let go of the syringe but continued to swing it at the back of his neck. At the same time, a sharp scalpel slipped out of his sleeve. If the artery was cut, zero would be dead as well.

Lan Qi was quick, but zero was faster.

With a push on the edge of the bed, Zero bounced up. Following which, he rotated his body and swept out with his leg.

Lan Qi didn't expect his zero-spear fighting ability to be so great that it could even allow him to fight in a short fight. In a panic, he could only bend his elbow to block the attack. The tip of his zero foot brushed against Lan Qi's arm. The second order's strengthening caused Lan Qi to step back uncontrollably, and he finally slammed into the wall.

"Doctor David doesn't have a dead body like you. If you want to play him, I'll have to trouble you to come back after I wash up," Zero said with a sneer.
