Chapter 268 Game
Jiang Hui pushed the butt of the gun slightly with his thumb, and the long barrel rested on Hillman's shoulder semi-casually, and the muzzle of the gun moved seamlessly with her movements, very subtle and subtle. Subtle, when compared with a certain strong energy, it seems to be able to turn into substance.
She was very careful, not moving at all, not even activating her mental power. But Jiang Hui knew that as long as the opponent made a move, she would also pull the finger on the trigger at the same time, and the hit would depend on who moved faster.
Hurry up, hurry up... do it, who is afraid of whom? !
Hillman said nothing. It seemed that in order to cooperate with Jiang Hui, his breathing had completely slowed down to almost nothing. His shoulders were steady, holding the gun on his shoulder without any trembling, and his eyes were focused. Looking to the other side, he clasped the pistol tightly in his palm.
Both of them waited with bated breath for the moment when the results would come.
"Tap, step, step..." The energy disappeared instantly as the man pulled away, and the man walked further and further away, causing a rustling sound.
The man seemed to have whispered something to his companions outside, and then led the group of people to run further and further away, gradually away from the high forest area and heading towards the direction where Huan Xian and the others were evacuating.
Gone?
Jiang Hui and Hillman looked at each other suspiciously.
For a long time, the enemy who was still facing Jiang Hui in the woods just now was completely far away from the safe range.
After a while, Hillman breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Finally-"
The silent Jiang Hui suddenly raised his hand and pressed Hillman's right shoulder. The opponent was caught off guard and almost died. He tilted his body and fell down after being slapped by her. He couldn't help but let out a strange scream from his throat, and then heard a sound that broke through the air and passed by his ear, just two or three centimeters away.
This "gift" from afar passed straight through according to its original route, straight through a leaf falling behind Hillman.
In the end, the leaf was caught by Jiang Hui, and the bullet was nailed into the misplaced tree trunk at the back. Hillman was a little dumbfounded.
"This, this..." He was stunned for a moment, and then immediately set up his gun again, as if he wanted to guard against the enemy ambushing somewhere unknown, but he was somewhat unaware of the opponent's actual movements.
Jiang Hui put down his gun and glanced at the bullet holes in the fallen leaves in his palm. His eyes darkened and he didn't know what he was thinking.
“He is warning.” Jiang Hui said quietly. The mental energy that had been suppressed all the way was finally released. After confirming that the other party was completely gone, he finally relaxed a little.
Did that guy discover them? Hillman reacted and immediately became confused: "But why didn't he take action just now?"
This is very strange. The situation was critical at that time, and the distance between the two parties was only a few dozen meters. Hillman was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe, ready to respond to Jiang Hui's attack at any time, but he didn't expect that the other party did nothing in the end and left without firing a single shot.
So did he really find out?
How could he just leave without doing anything if he discovered it? Doesn't this mean letting the tiger go back to the mountain? But if he didn't notice it, what was the meaning of the gun and the warning from Jiang Hui? It's really confusing.
Jiang Hui did not answer, but her silent attitude said everything. She knew that Holly had discovered it, but she didn't necessarily know that the person hiding behind the canopy was the person who had caused him to lose his first chance of survival in humiliation.
Otherwise, even if he risks being eliminated, he might still have to compete with Jiang Hui. Even if Jiang Hui didn't actually face him, he could feel his deep-seated pride from his behavior. His pride was somewhat different from Clarence's. In addition to arrogance itself, this man's pride also had a hint of madness.
Even if they were just so close to each other in the same space, they could feel the "not to be messed with" atmosphere exuding from him.
As for why the other party didn't fire a gun, it was probably the same reason as Jiang Hui didn't choose to fight back.
The two of them were so close that they could feel the presence of the other person in the space without even using their mental energy or unnecessary means to explore.
Holly may have been a little unsure at first, but when he stood under the tall tree where Jiang Hui and the others were hiding, setting up a gun and pointing it at her chest, the other party must have known clearly - there was a The enemy was exposed to his gun. As long as he pulls the trigger, the opponent will be able to escape immediately.
But similarly, when the other party stopped in front of this tall forest and chose to enter the forest to confront her with his gun, Jiang Hui had already prepared for the worst. Even if she had to be distracted to hide her aura, her gun always had room to target enemies who entered its range.
At the same time that Holly aimed at her, Jiang Hui's gun was also aimed at him.
The two are facing each other, and no one has the upper hand.
If both parties really pull the trigger at the same time, no matter how good their physical fitness and reaction ability are, the room for hiding is limited. They may be able to escape, but more likely to be hit.
If he gets hit, it means the game is over for Holly. Because their team had no third chance to defeat him, even if he also hit Jiang Hui at the same time, it would not be able to change the ending of their sad exit.
For Jiang Hui, it is undoubtedly a certain death, because if she was hit by Holly but not shot... then within half a minute of their actions being locked, it would be enough for Holly to attack her repeatedly. Fire the next two shots. In this way, their team will also be eliminated in a short period of time. No matter how many advantages they created before, it will be useless. Huan Xian and others who are far away on the other side to lure the enemy will also fall short.
The distance between the two parties is really too close, so close that there is no room for maneuver.
So when two people are facing each other at gunpoint, it is a confrontation, and it is also a game knowingly - it depends on how the other party chooses, and how you can choose.
Of course, such a game is based on the situation that both people are understanding. Because if Jiang Hui figured it out but Holly got stuck on it, or if Holly figured it out but Jiang Hui couldn't figure it out, if either party acted rashly, even if the other party wanted to preserve their sanity, they would have to tighten their bows and take action. The loss was stopped.
Fortunately, both Jiang Hui and Jiang Hui had a clear mind and did not make random decisions, so they did what Holly had done before, inexplicably withdrawing from the safe zone.
Because both parties need a relatively safe space to make choices.
As for the sudden shot from Holly, it was just a warning out of unwillingness. He knew that Jiang Hui would not be attacked so easily, and at the same time, he still wanted to tell them - it was not that he didn't notice but just chose to let it go.
I have to say that this person is still too arrogant... After all that, does face matter?
