Return to the City: The Strongest King

Chapter 1472: Forced to Join the Fight


Song Xiaodong reached out his hand and directly grabbed the opponent's arm, then the opponent's gun was already in his hand.

The butt of the gun swung back, smashing directly on the opponent's head, while his finger was already on the trigger, firing a few shots directly.

"Bang! Bang!..."

In a short time, Song Xiaodong fired a total of eight shots, each hitting a thug directly, and each a headshot.

Hitting anywhere else on the body could still lead to the opponent firing a shot before dying. Only by using the most brutal and bloody method could they ensure that the enemy wouldn't be able to fire a shot, ensuring the safety of this group of people.

As the gunshots rang out, the civilians were in panic, their minds filled with fear without any other response yet, while the eight thugs, plus the one disarmed by Song Xiaodong initially, had all already fallen one by one.

"Ah!" At this moment, someone finally reacted, exclaiming in shock.

They instinctively began to run in all directions.

Song Xiaodong immediately rushed over, searching the bodies for some magazines, then grabbed four guns and dragged Yang Yushi into the pickup truck blocking the road in front.

By the time the civilians finally realized that the dead were those roadside bandits, Song Xiaodong and Yang Yushi had already driven far away.

"Xiaodong, you're really cool." Yang Yushi sat in the passenger seat, her eyes shining.

Song Xiaodong gave a bitter smile and said, "I really didn't expect, Miss Yushi, that you could say something like that."

Yang Yushi shrugged and said, "Earlier, seeing dead people was really unsettling, realizing how suddenly a living person could just die, which is really unsettling. But those people just now, I felt they truly deserved to die. They not only robbed civilians of their belongings but also wanted to take women, behavior that completely violates the moral baseline of humanity."

After a pause, Yang Yushi continued, "These past two days, I've seen so much, and I understand that if we want to survive in such conditions, we really can't be merciful. We need to be ruthless, especially towards those who target civilians; we can't have the slightest pity."

"Your mental resilience is indeed impressive. Some new recruits I used to train couldn't adapt even after a month on the battlefield."

"Thank you for the compliment." Yang Yushi still managed a smile, "Wow, there are some snacks here." She excitedly exclaimed after seeing the items in the vehicle.

The past couple of days had been so chaotic that her mood was quite poor, and she had little appetite, eating almost nothing. Now seeing food, she felt hungry for the first time and realized how much she needed these things.

The items in the car were just snacks like bread and sausages, but eating them, Yang Yushi found them particularly delicious.

"Here, have some too." Yang Yushi offered a sausage she had bitten into to Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong said, "I can eat by myself."

"Just focus on driving, I'll feed you, so you don't get distracted." Yang Yushi insisted, pushing the sausage towards Song Xiaodong's mouth again.

Song Xiaodong could only open his mouth to take a bite.

Yang Yushi then took it back, ate a bite herself, and then offered a bite of bread.

Typically, sharing food like this indicates an extremely close relationship, but in such special circumstances, relationships between people can draw very close very quickly.

Yang Yushi had no intention of flirting with Song Xiaodong, but she did it unconsciously, unaware of it herself or too preoccupied to notice.

After Yang Yushi had finished eating, Song Xiaodong said, "I really admire you, watching me kill so many people just now, and you can still eat."

"Don't underestimate my strong mental resilience; a couple of days ago, I was just unaccustomed, but I'm fine now."

Yang Yushi spoke, turning her gaze towards the guns in the back seat, and asked, "Can I use these?"

"Of course you can, but have you used them before?"

"I've tried a few times at the shooting range."

"Then take one."

Yang Yushi leaned over, grabbed a gun, and fiddled with it for a while, looking quite skillful, and said, "Am I okay?"

Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Not bad, it could at least scare someone."

"Don't laugh at me, I haven't practiced much, of course, I can't have marksmanship as good as yours."

Song Xiaodong said, "On the battlefield, apart from snipers, everyone's marksmanship is usually poor. Back then, people just fired wildly; it's all about luck."

"Really?" Yang Yushi widened her eyes.

"Yes, truly on the battlefield, nobody stands still waiting for you to aim, everyone is moving, and hitting a moving target over twenty meters away is quite difficult, so it's all about luck."

"What about you?" Yang Yushi asked curiously.

"I...used to ensure hitting a target within thirty meters. Now, who knows, I haven't held a gun for a long time."

"Oh..." Yang Yushi said, "But you can at least hit something beyond twenty meters; that last one was probably over ten meters, and you headshot them directly. Your marksmanship hasn't deteriorated much."

"Pfft!" Song Xiaodong suddenly burst into laughter and said, "You're right, it indeed hasn't declined much."
