On Jiang Nan’an’s side, a fierce battle had already erupted.

Just a few minutes ago, Jiang Nan’an, accompanied by a female nurse, heard the commotion. The sound wasn’t far from them, and if he were alone, he would have reached the scene in about two minutes.

Just as Jiang Nan’an was hesitating whether or not to go and take a look, he heard two gunshots.

——Damn it!

He cursed in his heart.

After all, Comrade Xiao Jiang had also watched “Battle Royale.”

When some people get weapons, especially firearms, he knows exactly what they can be capable of. The mentality of being a bystander watching a movie is completely different from being in the midst of it.

Jiang Nan’an turned around and was about to head towards the sound of the gunshots.

“Wait!”

The nurse quickly grabbed him. “Are you going over there? It’s... It’s very dangerous, isn’t it?”

As law-abiding citizens in a country where firearms are prohibited, they usually would only have ever heard gunshots in movies.

Now, suddenly realizing that such a terrifying weapon that could take a life at any given moment, was so close to them, it was natural to be afraid.

“Wait for me here.”

Jiang Nan’an let go of the nurse’s hand and firmly pressed on her shoulder.

Pausing for a moment, he pointed towards a distant tower and added, “If I don’t come back in five minutes, go in that direction yourself, okay?”

At this moment, there were two gunshots, “bang, bang.”

The girl screamed in fright.

Jiang Nan’an didn’t hesitate any more and swiftly climbed over a broken stone, running in the direction of the gunshots.

The nurse stood still, extremely hesitant and anxious. She didn’t want to go over at all.

But Jiang Nan’an was the only person she could rely on right now, and the nurse was worried that if he didn’t come back, she would meet an even worse fate.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally made up her mind and grit her teeth. She then moved her body freely and suddenly disappeared, only to reappear behind a stone wall two meters away, following Jiang Nan’an and rushing towards the source of the gunshots.

When Jiang Nan’an arrived, he saw two people lying in a pool of blood.

The other two individuals at the scene were standing about ten meters apart, one holding a gun, and the other holding a knife, in a standoff.

Not sure of the situation, Jiang Nan’an didn’t rush to help either of them. At that moment, the two were arguing.

“We agreed on one person each!”

The man with the gun shouted at the other person, “Why did you kill both of them?”

The man with the knife disdainfully retorted, “Pah! It’s clearly because your marksmanship is terrible!”

.

The man wore a construction safety helmet on his head, with an illuminating light on it.

As he spoke, the knife in his hand flickered, reflecting the light. Jiang Nan’an saw that the silver blade was stained with a lot of blood: it was a knife that had taken lives!

“But you stole my prey!”

The man with the gun still unwilling, said, “You know very well that by killing them, our power would become stronger!”

The man with the knife smirked, his expression revealing a hint of ferocity, “So, what do you want to do?”

The man waved his knife and said, “Are you planning to kill me?”

As soon as the man with the knife finished speaking, the man with the gun aimed in his direction and pulled the trigger.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Three gunshots rang out, bullets fired from the barrel.

However, the man was only fast when running. His knife swing seemed completely chaotic and rough to Jiang Nan’an.

Jiang Nan’an simply moved his body slightly to the side, then raised his hand and bent his elbow, forming a cross shape. He twisted the man’s arm holding the knife at a right angle and then quickly reached for the man’s wrist with his other hand, giving it a strong squeeze.

“Snap!”

Jiang Nan’an’s strength was truly extraordinary.

The man let out a scream like a slaughtered pig. His right wrist was crushed by Jiang Nan’an, resulting in a comminuted fracture, and his military knife inexplicably ended up in Jiang Nan’an’s hand.

“I don’t want to kill anyone.”

Jiang Nan’an’s face darkened as he said to the man, “But if I let you go like this, you will surely attack others.”

With that, he threw the military knife without a sheath into the distance.

“So, I have to render you immobile.”

After speaking, Jiang Nan’an kicked towards the man.

However, his strike landed on an invisible wall.

“Bam!”

With a muffled sound, Jiang Nan’an’s foot went numb, forcing him to take two steps back.

“Haha, hahaha!”

The man not only didn’t run away but also laughed loudly. He pulled out another military knife from a shoulder bag and tightly gripped it with his uninjured hand.

“With this shield, you can’t hurt my vital points!”

The man swung the shiny military knife forcefully and said, “But I will stab you to death sooner or later!”

While Jiang Nan’an was engaged in a struggle with the knife-wielding man, behind a broken wall, the gun-wielding man was attempting to load bullets into his gun.

His gun was an old-style revolver with a six-round magazine and an additional six rounds of spare bullets.

However, for someone who had never handled a handgun before, changing bullets in the dark was not an easy task.

The man struggled to open the magazine, hastily inserted new bullets, finally pushed the magazine back in, and then leaned out from behind the broken wall, extending his arms, trying to aim at the two figures entangled in combat.

——They are completely defenseless now. It was the perfect opportunity to strike!

The man was very nervous. The hand holding the gun was trembling. But he willed himself to stay calm.

There couldn’t be a better chance than now!

As long as he could kill those two people, including the previous achievements of the knife-wielding man, he would achieve a quadruple kill!

——A quadruple kill!

——That’s a quadruple kill!

That’s enough experience for him to feast on, greatly enhancing his abilities!

However, just as the man was about to pull the trigger, a figure silently appeared behind him.

“Thud!”

A heavy object struck the back of his head. The man collapsed to the ground without even a groan, completely knocked out.

The nurse sister dropped the stone in her hand, took the man’s revolver, and tucked it into her belt.

At the same time, Jiang Nan’an was dodging the attacks of the knife-wielding person.

After all, he was a street fighter and had changed his strategy since the man suffered a loss at Jiang Nan’an’s hands.

He decided to use his speed advantage to restrain this man, who had superior fighting skills.

So he first created some distance, held his military knife, then opened his shield, and with a swift sprint, charged towards Jiang Nan’an.

This way, Jiang Nan’an couldn’t directly confront him.

Because the man’s shield, although invisible, was present. If he were to be hit by the shield while moving at high speed, it would be just like being hit by a car, the risk was too high.

And if Jiang Nan’an lost his balance and fell, the man would have the opportunity to strike him.

——Can’t rely on brute force, I also need a strategy!

Jiang Nan’an clenched his fist with determination.

——I need to come up with a plan!
