He let Du Bingtian go.
Instead of rushing back to the sewers, Xiang Yi first handed the rifle on his back to Shi Tie.
"Load it and fire a shot."
Shi Tie obeyed Xiang Yi's command, taking the rifle and removing its magazine.
He glanced at the empty magazine, then took the bullets Xiang Yi offered and loaded them in.
He skillfully inserted the magazine, chambered a round, and flicked off the safety before aiming at the head of Pingyu's nearby corpse and firing.
The corpse's head burst apart, and from a short distance away came the sound of panicked scrambling.
'Shi Tie knows how to use a gun. That's good news.'
'From now on, the rifle can be Shi Tie's. The deterrent of a gun is far greater than that of a strong bodyguard.'
Xiang Yi decided to keep the handgun for self-defense until he could get his hands on the tritium fuel cell.
Having done everything he needed to, Xiang Yi didn't linger in the Southwest City District. Under the cover of darkness, he returned to the sewers.
