Chapter 297: Perfect Cooperation
“Hummingbird, there seems to be talking over there?”
Fang Xiaocao pointed towards the corner of the corridor and whispered.
Hummingbird nodded, “Let’s go see.”
If Fang Xiaocao could hear the voices, Hummingbird, with her special training, had naturally heard them long ago.
Hummingbird held a gun in one hand and a dagger in the other, moving silently, inch by inch.
Fang Xiaocao was amazed by Hummingbird’s light-footed skills.
Even standing right next to Hummingbird, she couldn’t hear a single footstep. Compared to her own footsteps, Hummingbird was like a whisper.
Fang Xiaocao blinked, a thought flashing in her mind.
She carefully observed Hummingbird’s gait and began to imitate her steps. At first, she was a bit clumsy, but she quickly got the hang of it.
After trying a few steps, Fang Xiaocao was surprised to find that her footsteps had indeed become lighter.
Although not as light as Hummingbird’s, compared to her previous elephant-like heavy footsteps, it was a world of difference.
Noticing Fang Xiaocao’s lighter footsteps, Hummingbird was startled and glanced at Fang Xiaocao.
Seeing Fang Xiaocao imitating her steps, she couldn’t help but smile, “Princess, this step isn’t suitable for you. I’ll teach you a simple and practical one. Follow me!”
With that, Hummingbird changed her gait.
Hearing Hummingbird’s words, Fang Xiaocao’s eyes lit up.
She immediately followed Hummingbird’s lead.
To teach Fang Xiaocao, Hummingbird walked very slowly.
And since it was indeed simple, just some subtle control of leg muscles and foot placement, Fang Xiaocao quickly learned it.
Her footsteps became quieter and quieter.
After walking a few steps with Fang Xiaocao, Hummingbird was surprised at how quickly Fang Xiaocao learned. She turned to Fang Xiaocao, her eyes filled with admiration, and smiled, “Princess, what I just taught you is the basic silent step in assassin training. Once you fully master it and can walk silently without conscious effort, I’ll teach you the advanced version.”
Fang Xiaocao was delighted and nodded repeatedly, “Thank you!”
Hummingbird smiled and made a shushing gesture.
She pointed to the corner ahead and made a throat-slitting motion with her dagger.
Fang Xiaocao nodded and put her gun back in its holster.
She took out a few steel darts from her tactical belt.
She waved them at Hummingbird, indicating she was ready, and they could start.
Hummingbird smiled, leaned against the wall, peeked around the corner, quickly pulled her head back, and held up three fingers to Fang Xiaocao.
Hummingbird changed her finger gestures, holding up two fingers, then pointing to herself, holding up one finger, and pointing to Fang Xiaocao, using her eyes to ask if Fang Xiaocao understood her meaning.
Fang Xiaocao nodded, raised the steel darts in her hand, and made a throwing motion.
Hummingbird smiled and held up three fingers.
She started counting down!
Fang Xiaocao’s muscles tensed, ready to attack at any moment.
When Hummingbird’s fingers clenched into a fist.
Hummingbird, holding her dagger, darted out like a cheetah, rushing towards the other side.
Fang Xiaocao followed closely, flashing around the corner, her eyes quickly scanning the scene, taking in the enemy’s situation.
On the opposite side of the corner was a small square table.
On the table were a few plates of food and beer.
Three men of different heights were sitting around the table, drinking and playing drinking games.
One man was facing the corner, and the other two had their backs to the corner. Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao had a target. She would help Hummingbird take down the man facing them.
At this moment, the man had just put down his beer bottle.
He wiped his mouth, then suddenly paused. He had noticed Hummingbird. His eyes widened, his expression somewhat surprised, and he reached out, pointing at Hummingbird, opening his mouth to warn his companions.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao didn’t hesitate.
She ran forward a few steps, flicked her wrist, and four steel darts flew out, heading straight for the three men.
Two darts went straight for the man who had noticed Hummingbird.
The other two darts flew towards the backs of the heads of the two men facing away from them.
That’s right, Fang Xiaocao wanted a triple kill!
If she was lucky, all three men would die.
If not, she could at least take one down.
To buy some time for Hummingbird.
In the blink of an eye!
The man had already stood up.
“There’s…”
Just as he uttered the word “there,”
Two soft “thump thump” sounds were heard. One steel dart pierced the man’s throat, and the other pierced his heart. Instantly, blood gushed from the man’s mouth, his eyes bulged, and he couldn’t say another word. He twitched a few times and fell to the ground, knocking over the square table.
Young people could fall asleep anywhere.
Because the man suddenly stood up, the two men with their backs to them became alert and stood up.
The steel darts that were supposed to hit their heads missed their targets, hitting their shoulders and backs respectively. The two men cried out in pain, and seeing their companion’s tragic death, they reacted instantly. One rushed towards a red button on the wall, and the other turned around, a dark gun appearing in his hand.
At the same time, Hummingbird closed in!
The dagger in her hand flashed with cold light.
In an instant, blood splattered!
The dagger’s gleaming blade sliced through the wrist of the man holding the gun, and blood flowed freely.
Before the man could scream, Hummingbird lunged into his arms, holding the dagger in reverse, and plunged it into the man’s groin. With a twist and pull, the man’s vocal cords and arteries were severed.
Hummingbird pulled out the dagger and rushed towards the other man.
At this moment, the last man was only two steps away from the red button. Hummingbird wanted to reach him before he pressed the button, but it was too late. Hummingbird was shocked and threw the blood-stained dagger in her hand.
At the same time, a “whoosh” sound was heard. A gleaming flying knife flew past the dagger and pierced the man’s hand reaching for the button, successfully stopping him.
The next second!
Hummingbird’s dagger pierced the man’s head.
Hummingbird rushed to the man’s side.
She pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into the man’s carotid artery, delivering a final blow.
She let the man’s body fall to the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the gleaming flying knife in the man’s hand, raised an eyebrow, turned to Fang Xiaocao, and gave her a thumbs up.
Fang Xiaocao, praised, grinned and walked towards Hummingbird.
Hummingbird cleaned up the battlefield, taking all the weapons from the three men, and also pulling out the four steel darts and the flying knife.
Seeing Fang Xiaocao approaching, Hummingbird handed her the steel darts and the flying knife, and also gave her a share of the guns and daggers she had taken from the three men.
