Zhou Quan did not yet know how the Police Force had reacted.
He was gripping the female assassin by the cheeks as he walked toward his Off-road Vehicle.
But just as he reached the front of the vehicle, a furious engine roar suddenly reached his ears.
CUHK stood against the hills, overlooking the sea, with no commercial districts nearby.
The university entrance opened onto Tai Po Road. Though the area was hardly deserted, traffic was decidedly light.
Most importantly, CUHK's Graduation Ball had not quite ended yet.
Zhou Quan and Au Wing-yan had left the venue early.
Most of the other students and parents were still socializing.
The sudden roar of an engine immediately caught Zhou Quan's attention.
Whether the newcomer meant trouble or not, there was certainly no harm in being cautious.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Quan abruptly tightened his grip and dislocated the female assassin's jaw.
Then he lashed out with a kick, sending him flying behind the Off-road Vehicle.
At the same time, Zhou Quan used the momentum to perform a Rough-Road Roll across the ground.
The maneuver might have looked undignified, but it was extremely practical.
Immediately afterward, Zhou Quan went straight into a Tactical Roll to guard against a possible shooting.
Earth Online's favor truly deserved to be called the foundation of Zhou Quan's survival and success.
The powerful physique and keen reflexes his achievement rewards had given him saved his life right then.
The instant after Zhou Quan began his tactical maneuver, three bullet marks appeared in a triangular pattern where he had just been standing.
Stone fragments flew, pelting the Off-road Vehicle's paintwork with loud bangs.
Even with his extraordinarily sharp hearing, Zhou Quan had not heard the slightest gunshot.
Without question, the hidden shooter was using a suppressed weapon.
