Countless bullets flew toward Si Chen, his figure elusive, always finding cover in the blink of an eye, while bullets flew from his hand.
Si Chen dealt with the people around him and rescued the seriously injured Old Three.
“How are you? Can you hold on?”
Old Three smiled at him, “I’m fine, I won’t die.”
Just then, a series of noisy footsteps approached them.
“Go.”
The two of them turned and headed into the dense forest. Along the way, there were countless pursuers, fully armed and well-supplied, while there were only two people on their side. Si Chen and Old Three used the dense jungle to wear down the enemy’s gunpowder and attacks.
Even so, their bullets were almost gone, but the pursuers behind them were relentlessly pursuing them.
The two of them ran desperately along the way. Old Three’s face had turned snow-white, and his clothes were soaked with blood. He dared not stop, dared not say he was tired, because he knew that if he stopped, he would implicate his boss and put him in a desperate situation.
Old Three gritted his teeth, enduring the pain and the waves of dizziness. He used the pain to keep himself conscious.
Si Chen glanced around and spotted a giant tree.
“You hide up there, I’ll lure them away.”
“No, let me lure them away.”
Si Chen coldly commanded, “That’s an order.”
“Yes.” Old Three could only nod in agreement.
“After I lure them away, you rejoin the others.”
“Boss, I…”
Si Chen said solemnly, “There’s no time to talk to you, unless you want us both to die here.”
After making arrangements for Old Three, Si Chen led the group away in another direction, trying to buy Old Three time to leave and rejoin the others. After Si Chen led the group away, Old Three climbed down from the tree and headed in another direction.
An hour later, Old Three encountered Old Five, Old Eight, and the others.
Seeing that only Old Three was there, Old Five blurted out, “Where’s the boss?”
“The boss lures away the pursuers for me.”
Upon hearing this, Old Five immediately panicked, “No, I have to go support the boss.”
Old Eight stopped Old Five, “You’ll only make things worse. You have to trust the boss; he’ll be alright. He’ll rejoin us.”
“Let’s go to the rendezvous point and wait for the boss.”
The group pulled Old Five away.
They arrived at the pre-arranged rendezvous point, their withdrawal point. Once the boss returned, they could retreat.
Time ticked by. Several enemy reconnaissance planes passed by, but none detected them. After the reconnaissance planes searched three times, no more came.
The team members waited quietly, constantly monitoring their surroundings, awaiting the boss’s return. However, as time passed, everyone’s expressions changed.
Old Five was the first to become restless: “What’s going on? The boss hasn’t returned yet.”
“Old Five, wait patiently. You know the boss’s abilities; he always manages to turn every mission around safely.” Old Two said, offering words of comfort, though his own heart was filled with unease and a vague sense of foreboding.
Everyone present wore solemn expressions, their eyes filled with worry.
The final assembly time was fast approaching, yet the person they were waiting for still hadn’t appeared.
Just then, a mushroom cloud appeared on the opposite mountaintop, a fiery red cloud that ignited the entire sky, causing the earth to tremble.
