Chapter 301: Chapter 297 Perfect Coordination
“Hummingbird, does it seem like there are voices coming from over there?”
Fang Xiaocao pointed towards the corner of the corridor and whispered.
Hummingbird nodded, “Let’s go check it out.”
The sounds that Fang Xiaocao could hear had been picked up much earlier by Hummingbird, who had undergone special training.
Hummingbird, with a gun in one hand and a dagger in the other, moved silently ahead, inch by inch.
Fang Xiaocao was amazed by Hummingbird’s Light Body Kung Fu.
Even though she was right beside Hummingbird, she couldn’t hear a single footstep; comparing her own footsteps to Hummingbird’s, it was like beating a drum.
Fang Xiaocao blinked, a spark of inspiration crossing her mind.
She carefully observed Hummingbird’s gait and began to mimic his steps. Although it felt awkward at first, she soon got the hang of it.
After trying a few steps, Fang Xiaocao was pleasantly surprised to find that her footsteps indeed had become lighter.
Though not as light as Hummingbird’s, they were a far cry from her earlier, elephant-like heavy footsteps.
Noticing that Fang Xiaocao’s footsteps had become lighter, Hummingbird halted, turned his head, and looked at her.
Seeing Fang Xiaocao imitating his technique, he couldn’t help but smile and said, “Princess Your Highness, this technique isn’t suitable for you. Let me teach you a simpler, more practical one. Follow my lead!”
With that, Hummingbird slowed his pace.
Upon hearing Hummingbird’s words, Fang Xiaocao’s eyes lit up.
She immediately began to learn from Hummingbird.
To teach Fang Xiaocao, Hummingbird slowed his footsteps.
It really was simple, merely involving subtle control over leg muscles and placement of the feet. In the blink of an eye, Fang Xiaocao had mastered it.
The sound of their footsteps as they walked was increasingly softer.
Hummingbird moved ahead with Fang Xiaocao for a few steps.
Surprised at how quickly Fang Xiaocao had learned, Hummingbird turned his head towards her, his eyes filled with admiration, and laughed, “Princess Your Highness, what I just taught you is the basic Silent Step from the assassin training. Once you can perform it naturally without having to consciously control your steps, then I’ll teach you the advanced version.”
Fang Xiaocao was delighted and nodded repeatedly, “Thank you!”
Hummingbird smiled, made a gesture for silence.
He pointed towards the corner ahead and mimed a throat-slitting motion with the dagger.
Fang Xiaocao nodded and placed the gun back in its holster.
She reached into her tactical belt and pulled out a few steel nails.
She waved them at Hummingbird, signaling that she was ready, and they could start.
Hummingbird cracked a slight smile, leaned against the wall, and sneakily peeked around the corner before quickly pulling his head back and showing three fingers to Fang Xiaocao.
Hummingbird changed his fingers, showing two, then pointed at himself. He then showed one finger, pointing at Fang Xiaocao, and looked at her inquiringly to see if she understood his plan.
Fang Xiaocao nodded, raised the steel nails in her hand, and made a launching gesture.
Hummingbird smiled and held up three fingers.
A countdown began!
In an instant, Fang Xiaocao’s muscles tensed, ready to attack at any moment.
When Hummingbird clenched his hand into a fist.
Clutching the dagger, Hummingbird burst forward like a cheetah with a swoosh and rushed forward.
Fang Xiaocao quickly followed, darting around the corner, her eyes swiftly scanning and taking in the situation of the enemy.
Across the corner, there was a small square table.
Several dishes and beers were laid out on the table.
Three men of different heights were seated around it, drinking and playing a finger-guessing game.
One man was facing directly toward the corner where Xiaocao was located, while the other two had their backs to the corner. Seeing this, Xiaocao found her target: she was going to help Hummingbird by taking out the man facing their way.
At that moment, the man had just put down his beer bottle.
He wiped his mouth, then suddenly paused, evidently having spotted Hummingbird. His eyes widened in astonishment, and he reached out to point at Hummingbird, opening his mouth to warn his companions.
Seeing this, Xiaocao hesitated no longer.
She sprinted forward a few steps and, flicking her wrist that held the steel nails, released four steel nails in a slanting flight, their “whizzing” breaking the air as they sped toward the three men.
Two of the steel nails targeted the man who had spotted Hummingbird.
The remaining two nails were aimed at the backs of the heads of the other two men who had their backs to them.
Indeed, Xiaocao intended to secure a triple kill!
If she was lucky, all three men would be dead.
If not, she could at least take one down.
Buying some time for Hummingbird.
As the saying goes, it was too late now to be fast!
The man had already stood up.
“There’s…”
He had barely got the word out.
With two “thud” sounds, one steel nail lodged into the man’s throat while another pierced his heart. Instantly, blood spewed from his mouth, his eyes bulged, he couldn’t utter another word, he convulsed a few times, then collapsed powerlessly, overturning the table.
It’s good to be young, down for a long sleep.
Because the man had suddenly risen, the other two who had their backs to him became alert and stood up together.
The nails originally aimed at their heads instead entered a shoulder and a back. Both men were hurt and, seeing their companion die so gruesomely, reacted instantly: one of them rushed toward a red button on the wall while the other turned around brandishing a menacing gun.

At the same moment, Hummingbird closed in!
The dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light.
In an instant, blood splashed!
The gleaming blade of the dagger sliced open the wrist of the man holding the gun, blood pouring out instantly.
Before the man could scream in agony, Hummingbird slammed into him, gripping the dagger backwards and plunging it fiercely into the man’s organs, twisting and yanking the wrist, severing both the vocal cords and artery at once.
Hummingbird pulled out the dagger and rushed towards the other man.
At that moment, the last man was less than two steps from the red button. Hummingbird tried to jump him before he could press it, but it was already too late, his expression turned desperate as he urgently threw the blood-stained dagger in his hand.
Simultaneously, a “swoosh” sound of tearing air rang out, and a gleaming flying dagger, faster than the thrown dagger, lodged into the man’s button-pressing hand, successfully preventing him from pressing the button.
The next second!
Hummingbird’s dagger plunged into the back of the man’s head.
Hummingbird took a quick step, arriving beside the man.
Raising his hand, he pulled out the dagger and stabbed once more into the man’s neck artery, making sure he was dead.
Laying down the man’s body, Hummingbird breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the gleaming flying dagger in the man’s hand, raised an eyebrow, and turned to look at Xiaocao, giving a thumbs up.
Xiaocao, praised, grinned “hehe” and quickly walked towards Hummingbird.
Hummingbird began to clear the battlefield, collecting all the weapons from the three men and also pulling out the four steel nails and the flying dagger.
As Xiaocao came over, Hummingbird handed her the steel nails and the flying dagger, and also divvied up the guns and daggers found on the men, sharing a portion with Xiaocao.
