Caesar and Chu Zihang exchanged a glance and suddenly realized that Gu Ran's request for money was the most practical thing for them, because they were indeed short of money right now.
Other conditions, such as handing over the secrets of the White King or lifting the warrants for their arrest, are unlikely to be agreed to by Genjiro.
Yuan Zhisheng signed his name directly and then said, "What's the point of this IOU? You can't do anything about it if I default on the debt, can you?"
"Of course it's meaningful. If you, the head of the family, were to become a deadbeat, wouldn't that make your Snake Clan look bad?" Gu Ran shook his phone at this moment. It turned out that he had recorded the whole process without anyone noticing.
Even at this moment, he still had the leisure to engage in these petty schemes, which actually made Yuan Zhi laugh in anger.
“I’m afraid you won’t get that much money by then,” Yuan Zhisheng said.
"Don't worry about that. Anyway, I'll ask Miss Ying for the money after this is over. If you don't give it to me..." Gu Ran suddenly clapped his hands and made a "ha!" sound.
The next second, an explosion came from the elevator shaft. The sound was so loud that both Caesar and Genji could hear it.
"What do you mean?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.
"The explosion occurred on the twenty-first floor," Gu Ran said calmly. "That's the floor where Kaguya's server room is located. I've planted quite a few TNT bombs there. If I were to blow it up now... you can imagine the consequences."
Genji frowned. If what Gu Ran said was true, once Kaguya's server room was blown up, the building's security system would completely break down, making it even more difficult to defend against Deadpool.
In reality, Gu Ran just casually stuck some explosive clay on and blew up a railing to scare people.
"Alright, we'll talk about the rest later." Gu Ran put away the IOU and looked at Yuan Zhisheng. "You can make the arrangements from now on, patriarch! After all, this is your home turf."
“I don’t believe you.” Caesar stood up at this moment. “The Japanese are shameless. They shout about righteousness while betraying others. They are so shameless that it’s disgusting.”
Yuan Zhisheng listened expressionlessly.
Caesar continued, "But the people in the building are innocent, and I'm willing to give you another chance for their sake."
After saying this, Caesar ejected the magazine from the Desert Eagle, put away the magazine for Frigga's bullets, and replaced it with a magazine for mercury-core blunt gold armor-piercing rounds.
The mercury-core blunt metal armor-piercing bullet is a projectile specifically developed by Kassel College to target dragons. It is lethal to dragons of the third generation and below. It can penetrate the scales of dragons and splits along a cross pattern upon impact with the dragon's bones. The liquid mercury inside is highly toxic to dragons.
However, Caesar only had two magazines of mercury core ammunition at this time, which meant he only had fourteen rounds.
But there are dozens or even hundreds of Deadpools below!
"Ordinary bullets are almost useless against Deadpools unless I have unlimited ammo." Chu Zihang looked at the Uzbek submachine gun in his hand. His bullets were all tungsten alloy bullets, which were hard enough, but they couldn't penetrate those Deadpools.
"Or, how about we use the people in the building as bait?" Gu Ran mocked. "Anyway, it's for the greater good. Sacrificing the people in this building to save all of Tokyo is a worthwhile sacrifice."
Caesar and Chu Zihang both knew that Gu Ran was joking, specifically mocking Genjiro.
Genjiro pretended not to hear Gu Ran's teasing. He stood up, went to the Ashura wood carving, and turned the mechanism engraved with the Tachibana family crest.
The next second, a hidden space in the building appeared, and rows of weapons were displayed in front of everyone.
It turns out that there is also an armory hidden here, a weapons museum, where modern firearms are kept, most of them are old guns, such as Chicago typewriters and Sten submachine guns.
Genji smashed the glass of the display case and took out all the weapons inside to distribute to everyone.
He tossed Caesar a large-caliber revolver called 'Western Watch,' which used special bullets capable of shattering a bison's head with a single shot.
The downside is that this gun has a lot of recoil, but for hybrids, recoil is not a problem.
Genji threw another box of "mercury burst bullets" to Caesar. Although these bullets were not as penetrating as the mercury core blunt gold armor-piercing bullets from Kassel College, they could form a large cloud of mercury smoke after exploding, which was very effective at blocking dragons and Deadpool.
Chu Zihang had already slung a submachine gun and a bunch of bullets over his shoulder, ready to snipe from the elevator entrance.
Caesar was still looking for large-caliber guns, such as hunting rifles, to use for close-quarters fire suppression.
Gu Ran had no interest in firearms, and the knives here were just modern replicas; although they were sharp, they were not alchemical weapons.
The real ancient swords have all been collected by Tachibana Masamune.
At this moment, Genjiro was changing into a set of 'Nanban Dokuzuku', which is a high-level armor that only feudal lords like shoguns in Japanese Taiga dramas would wear.
But in reality, this thing is a Western product.
In Japan, "Nanban" refers to merchants from Europe. Historically, these Western merchants sailed into Japan from the south, hence the name "Nanban." Meanwhile, neighboring China is considered the Celestial Empire.
Therefore, the so-called "Nanban Dokuzu" was actually a modification and imitation of European plate armor, because the Japanese did not know how to make a one-piece breastplate at first, and only gradually figured out the technology of one-piece breastplates during the Edo period.
The armor that Genjiro was wearing at this time was painted red, making him look like a daimyo from the Japanese Sengoku period.
The term "Daimyo" in Japan is equivalent to "large landowner." As for the Warring States period in Japan... it can be understood as a time when several villages were fighting each other for territory.
Oh, by the way, during the Warring States period in Japan, daimyo didn't need to be formally appointed by the government. As long as your territory was big enough and you had enough villagers, anyone could become a daimyo. It was an era when everyone could be a village chief in Japan.
Caesar jokingly asked if Genji was cosplaying, to which Genji replied that he had to consider the possibility that bullet firepower wouldn't be able to stop Deadpool, at which point he would have to resort to close combat.
Genjiro asked them to wear armor as well, but Caesar refused, finding it unbearable that the Japanese aesthetic had turned a perfectly good set of European armor into something incongruous.
Caesar carried a Gatling gun and a box of ammunition out, while Chu Zihang also took a lot of guns and bullets.
Gu Ran was still strolling leisurely, as if he was there for a walk rather than to snipe Deadpool, but he was carrying a lot of guns and ammunition, all of which were for Chu Zihang and Caesar.
Yuan Zhisheng looked at Caesar and Chu Zihang's backs and recalled that in the sea, even though Gu Ran had warned them that they might be deceived, they resolutely walked underwater more than 8,000 meters below the surface to destroy the Corpse Guardian and protect humanity from escaping. They detonated the nuclear reactor.
Yuan Zhisheng thought to himself, "How wonderful! They both have such pure hearts, and their sense of justice is so genuine."
As for Gu Ran... he's truly a cunning fox; Yuan Zhisheng can't see through him.
He retaliates with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and he knows how to use violence... Sometimes, Genji feels that he is more like a gangster than he is.
Before long, the four had set up gun lines and defensive fortifications at the elevator entrance. Caesar held a Gatling gun with the muzzle pointed directly below the elevator, while Chu Zihang and Yuan Zhisheng held World War II-era submachine guns and guarded the elevator shaft.
Gu Ran grabbed a rifle without an M1 Garand, jumped onto the beam above the elevator shaft, and aimed. He was just shooting for fun, because he knew that ordinary bullets had limited effect on these Deadpools.
The M1 Garand rifle is a semi-automatic rifle with a magazine of only eight rounds. It can fire continuously and has much stronger penetrating power than submachine guns.
Chapter 427 The Four-Man Team for Life and Death
Genji stood in front of the elevator and gently cut his wrist with the Spider Cutter, letting his blood drip down from above.
Soon, a drop of blood landed on a Deadpool's face. The Deadpool was about to stick out his tongue to lick the most delicious nectar in the world, but as soon as his tongue came out, another Deadpool next to him opened his mouth and bit into the face of the Deadpool stained with Genji's blood!
In an instant, Deadpool seemed to go mad, desperately fighting for Genjiro's blood, like a devout believer vying for holy water bestowed by the Lord.
"As expected, the lofty 'Emperor' is a high-class ingredient," Caesar exclaimed.
“I don’t know why, but my blood really does attract Deadpool,” Genji said.
Gu Ran coldly aimed at the eyes of a Deadpool and said, "As expected, the world of dragons is a world where people eat people... no, it should be that the superiors eat the inferiors. Of course, the inferiors also yearn to eat the superiors. In short, it's all about eating people, eating your own kind, and eating your way up until you have power and strength."
"But the way we are now, it's like we're playing 'The Four'," he joked with a laugh. "I wonder if Lu Mingfei would like playing this game."
The other three people here didn't seem to have played this classic zombie game, so they didn't know how to respond to the joke.
With the words "cannibalism" still in mind, Yuan Zhisheng glanced at Gu Ran and then said softly, "Shoot, let death end all this suffering."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ran immediately pulled the trigger. Within five seconds, all eight bullets in the magazine were fired, and each bullet hit Deadpool in the eye!
"Excellent marksmanship!" Genji praised sincerely.
The M1 Garand is a semi-automatic rifle whose bullets have penetration power comparable to the German-made 98K at close to medium range, and it can fire in bursts, making its output far superior to the 98K.
Deadpool's most vulnerable spot is his eyes, which are also the only place that a regular bullet can penetrate.
Several Deadpools let out painful roars. Deadpools are living beings, they also have pain receptors, and they feel pain.
But the Deadpools that had their eyes pierced did not die; instead, it fueled their killing intent and unleashed their ferocity. With their eyes gone, the Deadpools, relying on their sense of smell and hearing, began to charge upwards into the elevator shaft!
The Deadpools have only one target: Genjiro. His blood is more alluring than the flesh of Tang Sanzang!
At this moment, Caesar pointed his Gatling gun at the elevator shaft below, and the bullets that poured out brought powerful kinetic energy. Even if they could not effectively kill Deadpool's body, they could still repel him with kinetic energy.
Chu Zihang and Yuan Zhisheng, standing to the side, also fired submachine guns to increase the number of bullets.
The barrage of bullets, like waves, quickly repelled the leading Deadpool members who rushed forward, shattering their heads with the concentrated bullets.
But there are countless Deadpools behind them!
As a result, the group had to expand the range of the barrage, which made it impossible to inflict any useful damage. The bullets struck Deadpool's scales with a clanging sound, scattering orange sparks.
Although these Deadpools are not as intelligent as humans, they still retain the instinct of beasts to seek advantage and avoid harm. Therefore, they quickly learned to hide in the beams of elevator shafts to avoid the attacks of bullets.
"Not enough effective damage!" While Deadpool was dodging the barrage of bullets, Caesar yelled at Genjiro and the others while changing ammo boxes.
Yuan Zhisheng and Chu Zihang both understood Caesar's meaning. This round of attacks would at most kill a dozen or so Deadpools, whose scales were bulletproof.
Only Gu Ran's precise sniping could consistently pierce Deadpool's eyes, but even without eyes, Deadpool could still charge forward. However, the headless fly would eventually be suppressed by the barrage of bullets, which was a respectable achievement.
However, now that these Deadpools are hiding, it's difficult for Gu Ran to snipe them. The Deadpools seem to know how powerful Gu Ran is, and they all avoid his shooting angles.
While Caesar was reloading, they all used submachine guns to snipe Deadpool, preventing the barrage from stopping. If it stopped, the Deadpools would likely swarm in, and then it would be impossible to stop them.
"Did all the people from the Enforcement Bureau in this building die?" Gu Ran asked Yuan Zhisheng.
Yuan Zhisheng frowned. His original intention was to use the gunshots to alert the Executive Bureau and get them involved in the Deadpool defense battle, but after hearing Gu Ran's words, Yuan Zhisheng had a bad feeling.
The five-minute deadline he had agreed upon with Tachibana Masamune had long passed, but Princess Kaguya still hadn't broken the seal, indicating that a new development had occurred.
But no matter what happens, nothing is more important than Deadpool right now, because if these things are released, people will die!
Caesar reloaded the Gatling gun's ammunition box and began a new round of firing, while Chu Zihang and Yuan Zhisheng began to rest.
Suddenly, Gu Ran, who was sniping from above, threw his rifle directly above Caesar.
Caesar glanced up instinctively and saw Gu Ran's rifle hit a Deadpool, knocking it aside as it lunged, causing it to miss its target.
But Deadpool didn't fall down the elevator shaft; instead, he used his snake tail to entangle a beam, attempting to continue his attack on Caesar.
Caesar was about to dodge, but Gu Ran had already made his move. He leaped from above the beam to Caesar's side like a ghost and used the catfish tail dagger to sever Deadpool's head in one stroke!
The sudden turn of events startled the other three. They glanced up out of the corner of their eyes and saw Deadpool above them.
It turns out that, without anyone noticing, Deadpool had somehow managed to sneak around from another elevator shaft to the top of this one and launch a sneak attack!
Genji put down his submachine gun, preparing to deal with the Deadpool above first.
As Gu Ran said before, he had only sparred with Genjiro and had not seriously injured him. Therefore, Genjiro's current combat ability is very strong, and he can still use the Dragon Bone state.
Just as he was about to eliminate the Deadpool above, Gu Ran made a tactical hand signal in front of everyone: I'll take care of the Deadpool above.
These people were all students at Kassel College and were very familiar with combat hand gestures.
Yuan Zhisheng wanted to go and support Gu Ran, because there were at least a dozen Dead Servants above, and it would be difficult for Gu Ran to deal with them by himself.
But Gu Ran had already moved. He seemed to be walking on flat ground on the vertical elevator shaft, and he could stop freely on the wall of the elevator shaft, as if he could stick to the wall.
He quickly leaped up, drew Ichimonji Norimune, and beheaded the first assassin.
This move is from the Taiyi Xuanmen sword technique, specifically the move "Parting the Clouds to See the Sun"!
