Jiang Hui pushed the butt of the gun slightly with her thumb, and the long gun barrel was placed on Hillman's shoulder half-casually. The muzzle moved imperceptibly with her movements, very slightly, and met a certain extremely strong energy that seemed to be able to turn into substance.
She was very careful, not using any breath, not even using her mental strength. But Jiang Hui knew that as soon as the other party made a move, she would also pull the trigger at the same time, and hit him - it all depended on who moved faster.
Hurry up, hurry up... Get started, who's afraid of who? !
Hillman said nothing. It seemed that he had even slowed down his breathing to almost nothing in order to cooperate with Jiang Hui. His shoulders were steady, supporting the gun on his shoulders without a single tremor. He looked intently to the other side, holding the pistol tightly in his hand.
Both of them held their breath waiting for the result.
"Tap, tap, tap..." The energy disappeared instantly as the man walked away, and the man walked farther and farther away, making a rustling sound.
The man seemed to whisper something to his companions outside, and then he led the group to run farther and farther away, gradually moving away from the tall forest area and heading in the direction where Huan Xian and his group evacuated.
Gone
Huan Xian and Hillman looked at each other suspiciously.
It took a long time until the enemy, who had just been confronting Jiang Hui's gun in the woods, was completely away from the safe range.
After a while, Hillman heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Finally—”
The silent Jiang Hui suddenly raised her hand and pressed Hillman’s right shoulder. The other party was caught off guard and almost fell down. He couldn’t help but let out a strange cry, and then he heard a sound of breaking air passing by his ear, just two or three centimeters away.
This "gift" from afar passed along its original route and went straight through a leaf that fell behind Hillman.
Finally, Jiang Hui caught the leaf, and the bullet was nailed into the dislocated tree trunk at the back. Hillman was a little dumbfounded.
"This, this..." He was stunned for a moment, then immediately raised his gun again, as if he wanted to guard against an enemy who was ambushing somewhere but was somewhat unsure of the enemy's actual movements.
Jiang Hui put down his gun, looked at the bullet hole on the fallen leaves in his palm, his eyes darkened and no one knew what he was thinking.
"He's giving me a warning," Jiang Hui said calmly. His mental energy, which had been suppressed all the way, finally released, and he finally relaxed a little after confirming that the other party had completely left.
Did that guy discover them? Hillman realized what was happening and immediately became confused: “But why didn’t he do anything just now?”
This was very strange. The situation was critical at the time, and the two sides were only a few dozen meters apart. 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 would do nothing in the end and leave without firing a single shot.
So did he really find out
If he had discovered it, how could he just leave without doing anything? Wouldn't that be like letting a tiger go back to the mountain? But if he hadn't discovered it, then what was the meaning of the other party's gun and Jiang Hui's warning? It was really confusing.
Jiang Hui did not answer, but her silence said it all. She knew Holly had discovered it, but she did not necessarily know that the person hiding behind the treetops was the one who had caused him to lose his first chance to survive in humiliation.
Otherwise, even at the risk of being eliminated, he might have to compete with Jiang Hui.
Even though Jiang Hui had never really faced this person, he could sense his pride from his behavior. His pride was somewhat different from Clarence's. In addition to arrogance itself, this person's pride also carried a hint of madness.
Even though they were just so close to him and in the same space, they could sense that he gave off an aura that said 'not to be messed with'.
As for why the other party did not fire his gun, it was probably the same reason why Jiang Hui did not choose to fight back.
The two of them were so close that they could feel the other's presence in the space without even using mental power or any extra means to explore.
Holly might have been a little uncertain at first, but when he stood under the tall tree where Jiang Hui and the others were hiding, with his gun pointed at her chest, she must have known clearly that there was an enemy under his gun. As long as he pulled the trigger, the enemy would be exposed immediately.
But at the same time, when the other party stopped in front of this tall forest and chose to enter the forest to face her gun, Jiang Hui had already made the worst plan. Even if she had to distract herself to hide her breath, her gun always had room to fight the enemy, and was always aimed at the enemy who entered its range.
At the same moment Holly aimed at her, Jiang Hui's gun was also aimed at him.
When facing each other, neither of them has the upper hand.
If both parties really pull the trigger at the same time, no matter how good their physical strength and reaction ability are, the room for them to hide is limited. They may be able to dodge, but they are more likely to be hit.
If he was hit, it would mean the end of the game for Holly, because their team did not have a third chance to kill him, and even if he hit Jiang Hui at the same time, it would not change the outcome of their exit.
Jiang Hui would definitely die, because if she was hit by Holly but not shot... then the half-minute when their actions were locked would be enough for Holly to fire the next two shots at her. In this way, their team would also be eliminated in a short time, no matter how many advantages they had created before, it would be useless, and Huan Xian and others who were far away on the other side to attract the enemy would also fail.
The distance between the two parties was so close that there was no room for maneuver.
Therefore, when the two men point their guns at each other, it is a confrontation, but also a game in which they know everything - it all depends on what the other party chooses, and what choice one can make.
Of course, such a game is based on the premise that both parties are clear-headed. Because if Jiang Hui understands this point but Holly is obsessed with it, or Holly thinks it through but Jiang Hui can't, if either party makes a rash move, even if the other party wants to preserve his sanity, he will have to tighten the string and stop the loss.
Fortunately, Jiang Hui and the other person were both clear-headed and did not make a rash decision, which led to Holly's inexplicable withdrawal from the safe area.
Because both parties need a relatively safe space to make a choice.
As for the shot that Holly fired out of nowhere, it was just a warning born out of unwillingness. He knew that Jiang Hui would not fall for it so easily, but he still wanted to tell them—it’s not that he didn’t notice it, he just chose to let it go.
I have to say that this person is too arrogant... Now that things have come to this, does face still matter
