Before Xiao Jing could react, Lin Qi’s hand suddenly pressed her head down forcefully.
An XM25 semi-automatic 40mm grenade flew at low altitude, passed through the forest, and finally exploded a hundred meters away from Xiao Jing and the others.
Thick smoke covered the sky and swept in unsurprisingly.
Lin Qi picked up the gun, grabbed Xiao Jing’s hand, and they ran quickly in pairs.
Xiao Jing looked back at the deafening shell attack, staggered, and almost fell over.
Lin Qi was panting and paying attention to the movement in the forest, and asked uneasily: “What’s going on?”
In the huge forest, bursts of explosions were suddenly heard. This situation was not an assessment at all, but more like an enemy invasion. As if someone was attacking the border on a large scale.
Yes, it looked like they were surrounded.
“Be careful.” Xiao Jing quickly grabbed a big snake that fell from the sky, threw it high into the air, took out her pistol and shot the snake’s head without hesitation.
Lin Qi frowned slightly and said cautiously: “No matter what, we must leave here as soon as possible, follow me.”
The sun started setting, and the entire deep forest was dyed brilliant crimson by the sunset’s red rays.
“You guys go over there and take a look.” A strange man’s voice came from not far away, and footsteps walked over in an orderly manner.
Xiao Jing was lying on the ground, observing several people walking through the telescope. They were wearing uniform black coats, and each held an AK in their hands. From the visual inspection, they should not be from their Hua country.
The man looked around as if taking charge of the rear defense.
“I saw a kitten.” The man’s eyes fell directly on Xiao Jing’s telescope, as if he had discovered her whereabouts.
After saying that, the man walked toward her step by step with his rifle in hand.
Xiao Jing made no move and remained calm hiding in the grass.
Sweat dropped from the corners of her brows. She controlled her breathing, and her fingers began to spasm due to tension.
“Come out.” The man glared angrily, pointing his gun at another bush three meters away from Xiao Jing.
“Bang.” A bullet was shot out of the grass.
The bullet hit the body armor without causing any damage to the man. The next moment, the man’s gun fired without any hesitation. The bullets were like a sudden heavy rain, shooting towards the grass intensively.
Jiang Si rolled out of the grass and ran awkwardly behind a big tree that could protect him.
“Bang!”
Jiang Si’s body swayed, and his right leg was hit by a stray bullet. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, dragging his injured leg to retreat.
The corners of the man’s mouth raised slightly with pride, and he raised the AK in his hand high towards the little wildcat that had no attack power, and slowly touched the trigger with his fingertips.
“Bang!”
Hearing the gunshot, Jiang Si closed his eyes instinctively, but did not feel any wounds. He opened his eyes in a panic. The man who was so complacent in front of him just now shook his body and fell heavily.
There was a wound of about five millimeters on his forehead, and blood flowed out from the wound. Within a moment, the weeds under him were dyed red.
Jiang Si survived the catastrophe and shrank back completely exhausted.
“Are you okay?” Xiao Jing placed the gun behind her, squatted down and carefully inspected Jiang Si’s wound, then took out gauze and simply bandaged it for him.
Jiang Si was stunned, a little embarrassed, “Why did you save me?”
Xiao Jing threw the sniper rifle to him, “What nonsense are you talking about? We are comrades in arms, get up.”
“We are competitors now.”
“Do you think this situation still looks like an assessment?” Xiao Jing pointed to his injured leg with the butt of the gun.
Jiang Si hesitated to speak and stood up with support on the tree trunk, his eyes serious, “Are you alone?”
“Lieutenant Colonel Lin went to the front to investigate the situation.” Xiao Jing pulled out a pile of grass and hid the dead man in it, after making sure that no one would find out, she picked up her gun and prepared to move forward.
Jiang Si followed Xiao Jing step by step.
As the night got darker, a spider spun silk and hung on a branch.
Beside the water, the python moved slowly, and the dead leaves were stirred by the snake’s tail, making a rustling sound.
Lin Qi took out the compressed biscuits from his backpack, handed them to Xiao Jing, and said, “I have investigated carefully. There are a lot of bloodstains about one kilometer ahead. There should have been a gunfight.”
“Then what is our situation now?” Xiao Jing gnawed on the biscuits and asked in a low voice.
Lin Qi shook his head and threw a dead branch into the water, “This place is most likely occupied by the civil war army.”
