"Click! Click!"
With two gunshots, a heavily armed guy fell to the ground with a thud.
This was already the sixth person Song Xiaodong had taken down.
If he weren't with Yang Yushi, Song Xiaodong could have taken down not just six, but twelve by now.
It was like a battlefield, but not a large-scale war, more like a hunt-and-exterminate mission.
However, the progress of the hunt was notably slow. The thugs, having lost six to Song Xiaodong, were furious, cursing nonstop, yet their actions became cautious. None dared to charge recklessly, not wanting to be the next to fall under the gun.
At first, Yang Yushi was extremely tense. With no cover available, and the gunfire ringing incessantly behind her, it felt like the bullets were whizzing right past her ear, ready to take her life at any moment.
However, with Song Xiaodong pulling her to sprint suddenly, tumble sideways, and go prone at times, the bullets missed her entirely, boosting her confidence instantly.
"Can I... can I fight back?"
Song Xiaodong said, "Yes, when I tell you to shoot, you shoot."
"Mhm-hmm!" Yang Yushi nodded repeatedly.
Song Xiaodong rolled with Yang Yushi, landing prone, and said, "Shoot." Then, with another shake of his hand, he took down another guy.
When Yang Yushi heard Song Xiaodong's instruction, she didn't hesitate and pulled the trigger directly.
But her marksmanship was terrible; she had no idea where her bullets went.
Even so, the sound of gunfire was intimidating enough, and the people on the other side immediately went prone, thinking it was another bullet from the sharpshooter Song Xiaodong.
"We just want to leave; I don't want to kill any more people." Song Xiaodong shouted loudly towards the back.
Soon, a voice yelled back from behind, "Bastard, you've killed so many of our brothers, you're not getting away! We'll definitely kill you to avenge our brothers!"
Most of these were desperados, with a fierce spirit, and lived in constant killing and being killed, unlike thoughts in peaceful times.
"Then come and see if I can kill you all." Song Xiaodong's voice was chilling, and then he fell silent.
Just then, a group of people rushed over from behind, the ones from the car Song Xiaodong had disabled. Though their car was out, they weren't hurt. With them gathering up, they totaled over twenty people.
Song Xiaodong frowned slightly and whispered to Yang Yushi, "They're definitely going to launch a group charge soon. This way, I can't take them all down at once. You hide first, and I'll lure them away, then come find you."
"But..." Yang Yushi hesitated for a moment and said, "I still want to stay with you."
"Don't be afraid, I won't die. They'll focus on me as long as you don't show yourself, you won't be in danger."
"Then..." Yang Yushi clenched her fists and said, "Then I'll listen to you."
Song Xiaodong nodded, and then took Yang Yushi to hide in the tall grass beside them, hiding her there. It was very hard to spot her from the outside.
Song Xiaodong immediately changed direction quickly, then a loud shout came from behind: "Brothers, charge! Don't be afraid, it's just two of them. No matter how good his marksmanship is, he can't kill so many of us. We can turn him into a sieve with a volley."
Those people immediately shouted wildly, running toward Song Xiaodong's direction, firing randomly as they ran. With such suppressive fire, even if they couldn't hit Song Xiaodong, he'd hardly have any chance to fight back.
Yang Yushi watched those people crazily rush past her eyes, with two nearly breaking into the grass, her heart leaping into her throat.
Song Xiaodong guessed correctly; they indeed launched such a charge. In this situation, she truly became a burden to Song Xiaodong, but she was more worried about whether Song Xiaodong could survive.
The gunfire still rang in her ears, but it seemed to be getting further away, yet it hadn't stopped.
Hearing the gunfire, Yang Yushi knew Song Xiaodong was fine; otherwise, the shots would have ceased.
The gunfire didn't seem too distant, like it was circling nearby, but as time passed, it gradually became sparse.
When the gunfire finally ceased, Yang Yushi's heart jumped to her throat. Was the fight over? Did Song Xiaodong take them all down? Or did they...
Yang Yushi dared not think of such terrible outcomes; she absolutely didn't want to see Song Xiaodong die. As for how she would cope if he died, she hadn't thought that far.
Yang Yushi didn't go out searching, trusting Song Xiaodong's word to wait here and not move, believing he would return.
Footsteps approached, and following the sound, Yang Yushi recognized the familiar pants, joy bursting in her heart. Looking up, she saw Song Xiaodong's body, Song Xiaodong's face.
