Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1707 - 1704: Collapse

"Effective range is seven meters, beyond that the power significantly decreases," Little Ya answered swiftly.

"Seven meters? Just right." Lin Tian glanced at the hooligans not far away and gauged the distance.

He didn’t expect the range to be extensive. This air cannon, by suddenly releasing high-pressure gas, achieves an impact goal. The energy dissipates quickly, so seven meters is already a pretty good distance.

"Little Ya, see that? Aim for that tall guy." Lin Tian fixed his gaze on the tall hooligan and let out a mischievous grin.

"Distance is 6.8 meters, within effective range, aim, fire!" Little Ya executed the order without considering anything else, his actions swift and efficient.

"Boom..."

A dull thud echoed as dust swirled across the road, crashing into the tall guy. With another thump, the tall figure of about one meter eighty was sent flying, slamming into his companions behind him, knocking over three people.

"Brother Leopard..." The sudden attack threw the hooligans into chaos.

"What’s happening?" one hooligan asked, uncertain and even making an attempt to flee.

"What are you yelling about? Help me up!" Brother Leopard struggled to get up, rubbing his chest as he shouted, "Damn it, it hurts like hell, what hit me?"

The hooligans shook their heads wildly, "No... no idea."

"Did we see a ghost?" A hooligan looked around at the surrounding trees and streetlights, shivering.

This remark made the other hooligans shrink their necks, looking towards the roadside grove with an added dread.

"Hahaha... look at them, so funny, they think they saw a ghost." Xiao Manxuan laughed joyfully.

Lin Tian also smiled, saying amusingly, "Didn’t expect it to be quite powerful, if we mounted a bigger one on a truck, wouldn’t people be torn apart in one shot?"

Don’t underestimate the power of an airburst, the explosion of a truck tire is equivalent to a grenade.

"That kind of power isn’t allowed," Little Ya reminded.

"Lin Tian, your car is almost turning into a Batmobile," Zhong Ling said excitedly, these novel things were only seen in movies before.

The laughter from the car caught Wei Feixiang’s attention. He patted Brother Leopard, his face stern, and said, "Stop arguing, it’s Lin Tian’s doing, there’s definitely something fishy with those pipes!"

"Damn it, daring to mess with me, tear it apart!" The tall guy spat, very angry.

Lin Tian’s lips curved upward, ordering once again, "Give that tall guy another shot!"

"Aim, fire!" Little Ya’s voice rang out, followed by another thud. Another cloud of dust passed through as the tall guy got hit in the chest mid-sentence, sent tumbling again, almost colliding with Wei Feixiang beside him.

"So many people, why pick on me!" This time, the tall guy wasn’t angry but wore a tearful expression as he stood up.

Just as he stood up, another thud resounded, sending him tumbling once more, but because he had flown out of the seven meters limited distance earlier, this time he only got knocked down, not sent flying.

"Damn it, do you think I’m easy to bully? Don’t care about me, everyone rush in and tear that car apart!" The tall guy, exasperated, directly ordered a "group charge."

The boss’s command sent the crowd of hooligans screaming, rushing at the car, while Wei Feixiang took several steps back, not charging forward.

"Three shots together!"

This time, Lin Tian didn’t need to give orders. The three pipes simultaneously burst out high-pressure gas, thud, thud, thud... a series of dull sounds as the three hooligans at the front fell, with their tightly packed formation, knocking over a few companions as they fell.

The result before them was that three shots took down half the people, human and horse overturned, making for a rather spectacular scene.

"Don’t stop, charge, smash it! It only has three pipes, as long as you get close it’s useless!" The tall guy ignored everything, giving another charge order.

The hooligans, too afraid to disobey, braced themselves to charge forward. This time they were smarter, spreading out much more. With only a short distance initially, they were suddenly much closer, the two fastest runners approaching within two meters.

Just two more steps and they could reach the "cannon pipes" with the baseball bats in their hands. Grins appeared on their faces as they raised the bats in anticipation.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two loud crashes followed by gusts of smoke and wind struck the two hooligans. With a tearing sound, their clothes were ripped apart by the fierce air blast.

From decent t-shirts to beggar outfits, the two flew back, colliding with those charging behind, sending them sprawling.

"Damn, this power is intense!" Lin Tian watched as the two hooligans had their clothes torn to shreds, dumbfounded.

"The closer the distance, the greater the power, but this won’t hurt anyone, just knocks them over," Little Ya stated matter-of-factly.

"It’s good enough, Little Ya, hurry up, they’re charging again," Xiao Manxuan waved her arm, resembling a female general, orchestrating a battle.

Sure enough, the outsiders charged forward again, Wei Feixiang shouted from behind, "You idiots, don’t even know how to disperse during a charge!"

This reminded the hooligans who got back up, scattered, and charged the car again. The few meters were like a mile as they struggled to get close.

"Thud, thud, thud..." Little Ya kept firing with precision, knocking them down one-by-one despite their dispersal. Some who charged too close had their clothes ripped by the fierce blasts. In fact, the air blast wasn’t strong, just that their clothing material wasn’t great.

"Brother Leopard, the enemy’s firepower is too strong, we should retreat!" one hooligan, unable to bear it, crawled back, pleading for a withdrawal, looking dejected.

Since taking a few hits earlier, Brother Leopard hadn’t joined the rush, but seeing his underlings in such a pitiful state, fear crept into his heart.

Gritting his teeth, Brother Leopard said to Wei Feixiang, "Brother Xiang, this situation isn’t like you described. If the brothers continue, someone might get hurt. Let’s leave this for today, see you later."

Finishing, Brother Leopard turned his head and shouted, "Brothers, it’s tough, retreat!"

The hooligans had been waiting for this word. With the command, in a swoosh, they all sprinted away, disappearing into the distant night within moments, leaving behind just a few scraps of cloth as testament to the earlier fierce battle.

The hooligans all fled, leaving Wei Feixiang alone, dumbfounded. A gust of night wind brought him back to his senses, realizing he was alone.

Better a live coward than a dead hero, Wei Feixiang immediately made a decision: Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing is the best. He turned to run.

But as he turned, he found someone standing in front of him. The streetlight shone from behind, casting a shadow around their face, leaving only their eyes fearsomely bright.
