24 hours to save the world

Zhu Shijiu has been thinking about what he can do.

To be honest, it is difficult to kill a black-clad man with his current archery skills. His peak operation before this ended up as a sloppy battle with an unknown outcome.

If he had the steady and accurate archery skills of Coach Du, he would definitely be able to achieve greater results.

And now he doesn't have to worry, because he directly pulled Coach Du over. With Du Fei's help, he will definitely be able to kill the black-clad men at least once.

At about six o'clock in the evening, Zhu Shijiu entered the park with the Moying bow and matching arrows.

At six o'clock in the evening, the park was cool and lively with people coming and going.

A young man and woman were walking and chatting in the evening breeze.

"... So your chess club comes to this park every night to practice archery?"

Beside Zhu Shijiu was Du Fei, who was wearing casual clothes with her hands in her pockets and carrying a bow bag. Zhu Shijiu invited her to this park to guide the newbies in their chess club to practice archery in the evening.

Du Fei knew this park. There were many people at night and the atmosphere was quite lively, so she was not worried about what would happen. Of course, a girl should be prepared when meeting a strange man alone at night. She had a bottle of anti-wolf spray and a stun gun in her pocket. In addition, she had practiced fighting, so she dared to come to the appointment.

If it was really just archery, it would be fine, but if Zhu Shijiu wanted to do something crooked, she would definitely not be polite.

Zhu Shijiu didn't know the twists and turns in Du Fei's mind. He was still thinking about the battle that was destined to happen later.

Hearing Du Fei's question, he corrected it after a while: "It's not 'you', but 'us'. Coach Du, you are now also a member of the chess club."

Du Fei did not comment.

"But it's not every night. We come here to practice archery occasionally, and we don't get together often. But today, after hearing that a provincial champion is coming to teach us archery, everyone said they wanted to get together."

"Why do we practice archery at night?"

"Because everyone is in school or work during the day, we can only practice archery at night."

There are students among them... Du Fei relaxed her vigilance a little.

She continued to ask: "Why choose the park instead of the archery hall? Our archery hall is open until ten o'clock in the evening. If you can't find a place to practice archery, you can come to the archery hall. And the light in the park is not good, which will affect your archery condition."

"Because practicing archery outside saves money."

Zhu Shijiu's matter-of-fact answer made Du Fei stunned for a moment, and then she had some good feelings for these members who had never met before.

Practicing archery outside to save money, but without hesitation, they put together 5,000 yuan a month for her to teach archery... These people are too enthusiastic about archery. She was a little touched, so she wanted to return part of the money.

...Of course, it's just a thought. She would be reluctant to do it if she really wanted to.

"Coach Du, do you know any archery masters who are better than you in the archery circle?"

"Hey, I've been out of the professional circle for a long time, how can I know any masters?"

Du Fei's answer was within Zhu Shijiu's expectations. Zhu Shijiu was not disappointed, and smiled and complimented: "I thought the masters had their own circles. Coach Du, you are so good at archery, it should be easy to get along with other archery masters."

"No, no." Du Fei said modestly, perhaps feeling embarrassed, she turned her head and looked around.

"By the way...are we getting more and more remote?"

"Oh, this is the way it is here. We usually practice archery in the southeast corner of the park, where no one will disturb us."

Now the two of them were walking on a stone-paved path, surrounded by green forests on both sides. Although the environment seemed very quiet, Du Fei began to feel a little nervous.

For some reason, when she met Zhu Shijiu in the park, Zhu Shijiu was very good at chatting. He could always catch the point that she was most interested in and chat with her. Sometimes the two of them would go further to talk about topics other than archery. It always felt comfortable to chat with Zhu Shijiu.

Because of this, she gradually relaxed her inner defenses and unknowingly walked with Zhu Shijiu to this remote path.

Is it too late to go back now?

She thought to herself.

A call interrupted Du Fei's thoughts.

"... Coach Du... Coach Du?"

"Ah, what?" Because she was too concerned about the surrounding environment, Du Fei ignored Zhu Shijiu beside her. After reacting, Du Fei asked in panic, "What did you say just now?"

"I didn't say anything just now." Zhu Shijiu shook his head and looked at Du Fei with a worried look, "Coach Du, why are you distracted? Are you feeling unwell?"

Du Fei was stunned and said, "No, it's... that..."

She couldn't find any excuse for a while.

The atmosphere was awkward.

Zhu Shijiu suddenly slapped his head: "Oh, look at my brain! Coach Du, you must be scared, right? After all, a girl meeting a strange man at night, and in such a remote place, will definitely be worried! Blame me, blame me."

Du Fei was so embarrassed that he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, of course not! I just... got a little cold in the evening breeze."

"Is that so? Coach Du, I don't think you look like..."

Du Fei interrupted Zhu Shijiu: "No! I just caught a cold! Really!"

Are you kidding me? After collecting the money, we were almost there but we turned back temporarily because of fear? She felt that she would be so inhumane if she did this. Moreover, Zhu Shijiu always seemed to be thinking about her, which made her feel guilty that she was making too much of a fuss.

"Are you catching a cold?"

Zhu Shijiu's caring eyes made Du Fei's face heat up slightly.

The next second, Zhu Shijiu took off his coat, and then put it on Du Fei before she could react.

"Coach Du, give me your coat."

There is no unnecessary concern, just action. Zhu Shijiu pretended to be very calm, but the stunned Du Fei's heartbeat accelerated instantly.

——The warm feeling came from the jacket that was still carrying body temperature, and she suddenly felt a little dizzy.

What's going on?

What's going on with this guy?

To be honest, Du Fei felt that the surrounding environment was no longer so scary, but rather quiet and ambiguous.

The scene of Zhu Shijiu naturally taking off his coat and putting it on her body was still echoing in her mind. In the scene, he looked like a real gentleman, and his behavior was not artificial at all.

But...the two of them had only known each other for less than half a day.

Although she seemed to have a good chat with this man, she didn't actually have that idea in her heart.

Could this person be interested in her?

Du Fei couldn't help but think so, after all, Zhu Shijiu's behavior just now was too easy to arouse people's imagination.

Just when Du Fei was thinking wildly.

Zhu Shijiu suddenly said: "By the way, Coach Du, the other club members probably haven't arrived yet, why don't we two go to the woods to warm up first?"

"Hot, warm up?!"

Du Fei screamed in shock at first, and then saw Zhu Shijiu pick up the bow bag.

"Oh, it turns out it's just a warm-up. Hahahaha."

Zhu Shijiu looked confused: "Coach Du?"

"Nothing! Nothing! Okay! Let's go warm up first!" Du Fei blushed and opened her bow bag awkwardly, not daring to look at the man next to her.

Zhu Shijiu found it a little funny. Although this was an atmosphere he deliberately created, he almost couldn't help but laugh when he saw Du Fei's fussy look.

He had long seen Du Fei's nervousness and alertness. In order to eliminate this alertness, Zhu Shijiu kept chatting with Du Fei, trying to make her relax her vigilance.

The effect was there, but not big. Especially when the surrounding environment gradually became inaccessible, Du Fei exuded a tense feeling all over her body.

Zhu Shijiu had no choice but to make this move. As expected, Du Fei's guard was completely shattered by the ambiguous atmosphere he created. That way, the next thing to do will be easier.

The two assembled their respective bows, and Zhu Shijiu took Du Fei into the forest.

At this time, Du Fei no longer had any vigilance in her heart. Instead, her face was red and she even walked a little stiffly.

"Coach Du, are you feeling well? Do you want to take a rest?"

Zhu Shijiu's caring words sounded like hypnosis in Du Fei's ears, making Du Fei's body, which was already feeling quite at a loss, become even stiffer.

Du Fei felt that her voice was a little distorted: "No, don't worry! I can do it!"

"Really?" Zhu Shijiu confirmed.

"real!"

"That's good."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Shijiu took out an arrow from the quiver, then took the bow and stringed it naturally.

——Then he aimed at Du Fei.

"Coach Du. Don't move or scream. Just cooperate with me. Believe me, even a novice like me won't miss at this distance."

Du Fei was stunned.

…

Under the cold moonlight, the two faced off - no, it shouldn't be said "confrontation", it should be said a one-sided threat.

Zhu Shijiu held his bow and threatened Du Fei.

There are arrows specially designed for hunting on the bowstring. At close range, one arrow can definitely penetrate a person's hard skull. Although Du Fei herself had not tested it, she had seen her grandfather hunting in the forest with Moying bow and hunting arrows when she was a child.

No beast can withstand the power of an arrow.

All the charm in Du Fei's heart disappeared without a trace. Any ordinary person who encountered this kind of thing would just stay there and have a blank mind. She was a little better and could still think about Zhu Shijiu's reasons for doing this.

"……Why?"

Du Fei asked, her hands and feet cold.

Zhu Shijiu stepped closer to Du Fei, who was afraid to move, and said helplessly: "Coach Du, there was road surveillance outside just now. I can't act too abnormally, but now there is no surveillance equipment in this forest, it's just the two of us. Personally, I dare you to tell the truth, but I am worried that you will leave after hearing it, so I threaten you like this."

"What I say next may make you think I'm crazy, so please believe it. But if you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it. Both of us will die later... Of course, I've already made it up if you don't believe it. The preparation is nothing more than a different approach next time.”

Du Fei looked at the man who was talking inexplicably, and calmly stretched his hand to the quiver on his waist.

brush!

Zhu Shijiu shot out an arrow, grazing Du Fei's face and shooting into the woods behind.

What a great opportunity!

Du Fei, who was startled into a cold sweat, was about to draw an arrow.

However, Zhu Shijiu's movements were faster than hers. He was very skilled in drawing arrows. She had just pulled the arrow out of the quiver and before she could draw the bow, he had already put the arrow on the bow! When Zhu Shijiu drew the bow again and aimed it at her head, her heart sank.

"Coach Du, I sincerely advise you not to move."
