Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1520

"Then you really have a chance to capture me and take me hostage, but I don't think you have the ability to do that."

Hearing Wei Wu jokingly reveal his plans, Zhang Hao's heart sank, and he sighed helplessly.

He genuinely believed that Wei Wu's individual strength was not strong, and that even with his leg injury, he could easily defeat him.

If we could capture him, all the problems could be solved, but right now it's all just wishful thinking.

He recognized one of the two men who came out from behind Wei Wu; it was Zhang Hai, one of Wei Wu's right-hand men.

Although Shen Lin is the captain of the Impermanence Squad, Zhang Hai, the vice-captain, is no less capable than Shen Lin.

Seeing him standing guard beside Wei Wu, Zhang Hao knew in his heart that he could not pose any threat to Wei Wu.

Even if he were to attack Wei Wu at this moment, and Zhang Hai were to entangle him, and Shen Lin were to make a move, he would be completely finished.

Either of these two could fight him to a standstill, and together they could easily crush him.

With Zhang Hai in front and Shen Lin behind, plus eleven members of the Impermanence Squad, the situation can only be described as desperate.

Most importantly, when Shen Lin heard Wei Wu say that Zhang Hao was after him, he immediately became extremely vigilant.

At the same time, he slowly started walking towards Zhang Hao, his idea was simple: to get as close to Zhang Hao as possible.

If Zhang Hao really intended to take a gamble and attack Wei Wu, he could stop him as quickly as possible, or even take Zhang Hao down directly.

As Shen Lin's footsteps drew closer, Zhang Hao's already dire situation worsened further.

However, contrary to his usual self, Zhang Hao remained calm in this situation.

Then, just as Shen Lin closed the distance to the point where he could make a move, Zhang Hao looked at Wei Wu and laughed.

"Wei Wu, do you think you've already won, and that I have no choice but to surrender and be captured by you?"

Are there any other means?

Upon hearing Zhang Hao's words, Wei Wu immediately thought of the phrase and became more vigilant.

Zhang Hai and Wei Shiyi, who were standing guard beside Wei Wu, stepped forward at the same time, shielding Wei Wu with their bodies to prevent any unforeseen events.

Shen Lin, who was approaching Zhang Hao, stopped after he said those words, his eyes fixed on Zhang Hao's back.

"hehe!"

Looking at the group of nervous people in front of him, Zhang Hao smiled calmly, then reached his hands towards his chest.

Immediately afterwards, under everyone's gaze, Zhang Hao ripped open his shirt.

To be honest, the scene looks quite strange: a young man dressed as an old woman.

Tearing open one's shirt in front of a group of young people is a scene that only appears in movies from a certain island nation.

However, this is not a Japanese adult film, and Zhang Hao did not tear off his clothes to show off his body.

Rather, it was to show Wei Wu and the others what was under his clothes; this was his last trump card.

There was something tied around Zhang Hao's waist, which looked like small bundles of cowhide.

But that's not the point. The real point is that behind these small cloth balls, there are several bamboo tubes tied side by side.

This thing is the same as the bamboo tube that Zhang Hao is holding, with a thin hemp rope attached to the end.

Wei Wu guessed that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the bamboo tube likely contained gunpowder, but Wei Wu found it rather strange.

The bamboo tubes that Zhang Hao had tied to his body were neither thick nor long, and their internal space couldn't hold much gunpowder.

Moreover, Zhang Hao had also set up a mechanism inside the bamboo tube that allowed it to be detonated with flint without needing to be lit with a fuse.

This would take up more space inside the bamboo tubes, so even if these bamboo tubes were detonated, the power would not be very great.

What exactly makes him so confident that revealing this will allow him to escape safely?

Just as Wei Wu was wondering what Zhang Hao was going to do, Zhang Hao threw the bamboo tube he had been holding aside.

Then he grabbed the thin hemp ropes from the bamboo tubes at his waist with both hands, and only after doing all this did he look up at Wei Wu again.

"Wei Wu, do you want to guess what these things I'm wearing are?"

"It's just gunpowder, is it that hard to guess?"

Hearing Zhang Hao's confident voice, Wei Wu was puzzled, but responded with a calm expression.

Even after responding, they specifically added a sentence.

"Your bamboo tube can't hold much gunpowder to begin with, and you've even added a flint ignition mechanism. Even if it explodes, it won't be very powerful."

"You don't actually think you can threaten me with this and leave unscathed, do you? Zhang Hao, aren't you being a little too naive?"

Upon hearing Wei Wu's sarcastic remark, Zhang Hao merely smiled faintly before explaining:

"Gunpowder? No, no, I think you've misunderstood. What can threaten you is never gunpowder, but the thing outside of it."

"See these little things outside? These are bags made of cowhide; what's inside are the deadly things."

"This stuff is called Bone-Corroding Powder. If a person gets even a tiny bit on it, even just a fingertip, they will be poisoned."

"Unless the areas contaminated with the bone-corroding powder can be cut off, it will continue to erode until it completely turns a person into pus!"

"No living thing can touch it; only specially prepared cowhide can resist its erosion."

As he spoke, Zhang Hao even lightly flicked the leather bag with his finger, showing that he was very satisfied with it.

"Unfortunately, only the teacher in the whole world can make this thing, and the necessary materials can no longer be found."

"All I have left in the world is this little bit on my body, so I have no choice but to carry it with me as a lifesaver."

"Otherwise, the person who attacked you back then wouldn't have used a musket, but would have sprayed all of this stuff on you."

When Zhang Hao said these words, it was clear from his tone that he felt very sorry about the matter.

At the same time, after speaking, when she looked at Wei Wu again, she gripped the fuse even tighter with her hands.

Seeing Zhang Hao's actions, Zhang Hai and Wei Shiyi took off their coats without saying a word.

While using his body to block Wei Wu, he also spread out his outer garment with both hands to cover his face.
