Since there was no way to confirm the opponent's location, it was better to chat, just like Jin Kaide's trash talk tactic.
"Hey! Brother on the other side, I don't know what kind of grudge we have that makes you chase me like this?"
The other side was silent, not a sound, as if Zhang Jie was not talking to him, but talking to himself.
Jin Kaide, after dealing with the person, heard nine gunshots from behind him, frowned, looked at Michael, and the two of them walked straight downstairs.
After saying a few sentences, there was no movement from the other side, and Zhang Jie also felt very strange.
How could this guy be so patient, without any reaction at all?
The two were less than 10 meters apart, and his voice was quite loud. With the echo in the corridor, he shouldn't have been unable to hear it, right?
Tightening the grenade in his left hand, Zhang Jie suddenly felt a little pain in his right shoulder. Looking down, blood had already seeped through his suit.
The entire bulletproof suit, except for the sleeves and armpits, was bulletproof. Zhang Jie's custom-made level was 3 for bulletproofing, and the waist was level 2, so the bulletproofing also varied.
The shot just now happened to hit Zhang Jie's right arm. Although it was just a graze, blood still flowed out.
"Damn it! When can I be like a Superman and ignore bullets?"
He said several sentences, but the other party didn't react at all.
Zhang Jie didn't want to wait anymore and directly released the safety lever of the grenade.
With a "ding," the safety lever sprang off.
He then threw it out, skimming the ground.
The grenade, thrown at a low angle, quickly reached the base of the wall in the opposite corridor, hit with a "thump," bounced off, forming a 75° refraction angle.
From Zhang Jie's position to where the opponent was hiding, he couldn't see and couldn't directly throw the grenade over.
And if he tried to hit it off the wall, it was very likely to bounce in the wrong direction, leading to no effect.
But throwing it from an angle close to the ground could ensure that after the grenade hit the opposite corner of the wall, it would form an effective reflection angle and reach the precise location Zhang Jie wanted for the explosion.
Boom!
Sure enough, after reflecting, the grenade directly reached the opponent's hiding place and then exploded.
Zhang Jie immediately rushed over, hugging the corner of the wall.
Upon reaching that position, he immediately crouched down and aimed his gun, but found no trace of anyone.
"What the hell? Where is he?!"
Indeed, no one was found, except for the chaotic scene impacted by the grenade fragments, there was nothing.
At this moment, footsteps also came from in front of Zhang Jie. He immediately held his gun vigilantly, but found that it was Jin Kaide and Michael rushing over.
"No one was found."
Seeing Zhang Jie, Jin Kaide said directly. He had originally wanted to take Michael and block the guy who fired the sneak shot from the other side, but found no one.
It seems this last sneaky guy was very cautious. No wonder he only fired a sneak shot at the end. After firing one shot and realizing he missed, he immediately disappeared without a trace. He must have retreated.
Damn it!
There was an empty feeling, like accumulating power for a punch but hitting nothing. And he was also injured.
This feeling made Zhang Jie very uncomfortable, but he also had to admire the opponent's decisiveness. After realizing all his team members were wiped out, he chose to fire a cold shot, and upon realizing he missed, he immediately withdrew to save his life.
This kind of veteran killer posed the greatest threat to Zhang Jie, because he never knew when he would reappear.
Of course, it was also possible that he simply took on this mission and retreated when he realized it couldn't be completed.
"Let's go too, someone will handle this here next."
Jin Kaide suggested.
The conflicts in the assassin world are so cruel. If you die, someone will collect your body.
If you don't die, you will look down on the failures like a king.
Clearly, the winner tonight was Zhang Jie. He didn't die, only got injured, while those who hunted him paid the price of almost complete annihilation.
Although one person remained, no one knew his whereabouts, and it was already dark. Staying longer wouldn't lead to a good outcome, so it was better to leave early.
"Let's go, get out of this godforsaken place."
Zhang Jie readily accepted Jin Kaide's suggestion. Michael looked around, then followed the two without a word.
But strangely, none of the three put away their guns. Instead, they remained cautious, looking around.
When they reached the stairs at the front door, Zhang Jie looked back again. He felt nothing, and even his danger sense wasn't triggered, indicating that the person was probably really gone.
So, Zhang Jie pulled out the flashbang from his pocket, directly pulled the pin, and casually threw it out.
It should be noted that this M84 flashbang weighed 250g, and carrying it in his pocket greatly affected his movement.
Now that the battle was over, he might as well just throw it, and this thing also had a certain degree of danger, so it was better to detonate it directly.
Watching Zhang Jie's somewhat childish behavior, Jin Kaide was speechless, "God, you're wasting resources like that."
Michael, on the other hand, looked indifferent. Anyway, it came from looting bodies, so if it exploded, it exploded.
Boom!
As a blinding white light lit up behind them, the three went downstairs to the parking area at the main gate.
At a glance, at least a dozen cars were parked, empty, because everyone inside had died in the factory.
It seemed someone could make a fortune from these abandoned cars.
At the front door, the three had a brief farewell.
After all, Jin Kaide had to go back to his wife, and Michael still had a mission in progress.
This quick rescue was great, Zhang Jie expressed his gratitude, but the two waved him off.
"Zhang Jie! This is an investment, understand? Next time I need help, I hope the cold-faced killer won't refuse." Michael gave Zhang Jie a punch on the chest, laughing.
Jin Kaide looked back in the direction of his car, "I hope Sophia won't say I ruined his romantic honeymoon when I get back. Damn it! Why did I answer your call? Motherfucker!"
"Hehehe, listen, answering my call was to save Zhang Jie, what do you mean 'why did I'?" Michael protested directly.
Sure enough, whenever Jin Kaide and Michael were together, they couldn't help but start bickering.
Zhang Jie was also very happy to see this scene. What a fortunate thing it was to have someone come to his rescue quickly in his time of crisis.
Dusk had completely taken over the sky, with faint traces of interwoven blue and black still lingering on the horizon.
A plane slowly passed overhead, leaving a white trail.
This was the wilderness, so there were few people, but the headlights of passing cars still flickered on the distant highway.
Starting the car, the V8 engine roared again. He turned on the headlights, bid farewell to the two, and set off again on his journey back to New York.
Jin Kaide drove his own car away directly, while Michael randomly drove one of the cars left by the assassins to the back door, switched to his own car, and also left.
At this time, the inside and outside of the factory were silent, but not long after, a sound suddenly came from under an office desk on the second floor. Jackson staggered up, supporting himself on the desk.
He was the one who shot Zhang Jie. When he realized all his subordinates were killed and he seemed to be surrounded, he chose to hide. At the moment the grenade exploded, he also hid under a metal cabinet behind him.
The flashbang Zhang Jie casually threw happened to land next to Jackson's hiding place. When the flashbang exploded, it knocked him unconscious, and it took him a while to wake up.
At this moment, his ears were ringing wildly, he couldn't hear the outside movements at all, and he felt nauseous and dizzy, swaying with a strong sense of vertigo.
"Shit! Lisa! I'm not done with you!"
