Zhang Zhe's assault rifle was a custom-made weapon by Senna, who had pulled strings to get it. It was unlike ordinary assault rifles; its power was several times greater!
It wasn't just Zhang Zhe's rifle; everyone else's was also specially made.
If a regular assault rifle were to hit a propeller, it might cause some damage, but it wouldn't affect its use.
After all, military aircraft propellers were made of the finest materials.
However, Zhang Zhe's assault rifle was no ordinary weapon, which was why he resorted to such extreme measures.
But it was clear that his extreme action was perfectly justified. One of the two helicopters had a propeller that bent after a single shot.
"Aisi! You're betraying me!"
Senna looked at Zhang Zhe in disbelief, his eyes bulging with rage. He could never have imagined that someone he trusted would betray him!
With Razi before him and Aisi now, Senna was filled with indignation!
Betrayal was what he hated most in his life, especially betrayal by those he trusted the most!
"You traitor! Why would you do this!"
Ailin also looked at Zhang Zhe with disbelief, shouting at him!
Ailin felt that her earnest efforts had been in vain, and even worse, it was by someone she liked!
It was only then that she suddenly understood why he had rejected her advances and her attempts at a closer relationship so many times.
So, they were never on the same path. He had stayed by their side with the intention of killing them!
"Betrayal? I'm sorry, I was never one of you, so don't use that word on me."
Zhang Zhe knew there was no point in hiding anything any longer, so he spoke without restraint.
However, as he spoke, he kept a close watch on the group.
No one understood the nature of these people better than he did. Knowing he had betrayed them, they would undoubtedly try every means to take his life!
But now, he couldn't let them have his life; he still had to return to complete his mission!
"Bang bang bang!"
There were no more words. Senna's men immediately raised their guns and fired at Zhang Zhe.
Zhang Zhe moved with incredible speed, rolling several times to dodge a few bullets before taking cover behind a pillar on the castle platform.
At the same time, Black Hawk's side also reacted immediately, drawing their weapons and engaging them.
"Bang bang bang"
"Da da da"
The sounds of various machinery intertwined, indicating the intensity of the fierce battle.
Both sides suffered casualties, and for a time, everyone entered a stalemate, ceasing fire.
One reason was that everyone had found their own cover, and their weapons couldn't penetrate it. The other was that they all felt the action was not worth it, like losing a thousand enemies while sacrificing eight hundred of their own.
Compared to the tense situation upstairs, downstairs was a race against death.
Because of the indiscriminate firing when they left, the hostages downstairs, except for the Hua Nation citizens whom Zhang Zhe had secretly released earlier.
The moment the rioters began their indiscriminate shooting, those downstairs immediately began to find cover for themselves.
However, even so, several Hua Nation citizens were hit by bullets, but fortunately, none of their injuries were fatal!
Others were not so lucky, with most sustaining injuries, and some even dying on the spot. Their loved ones, wounded themselves, wept beside their fallen family members.
After all the rioters went upstairs, people from outside immediately rushed in. Some went upstairs to provide support, while others stayed in the lobby to help rescue the injured. It was ironic.
Unlike other countries, only the Hua Nation people had brought medicine and first-aid supplies on the ship when they arrived. Others hadn't even considered bringing such supplies!
At this moment, their selfish instinct was to use the supplies on themselves first, but they knew that this medicine should be given to those who were severely wounded.
In this emergency situation, lives were the most important!
The injured Hua Nation citizens, seeing that their own countrymen were not giving the medicine to them, felt no resentment.
Because they knew that their actions were correct and the most appropriate course of action at the moment.
Self-preservation was simply impossible in this situation!
However, fortunately, many of the medicines they brought were elixirs, made from the formulas that Shen Yao had given out!
Because their troop types were different and they faced more danger, these life-saving medicines were provided to them first!
However, the medicines they distributed were only given to individuals who were confirmed to be in life-threatening danger. For others, they used different elixirs.
Such as hemostatic elixirs and pain-relief elixirs.
However, in places unnoticed by others, they immediately arranged for their people to escort other Hua Nation citizens out of the castle.
Once outside the castle, they were immediately escorted to boats, having made preparations to evacuate them at any time!
Gunshots continued to echo from the rooftop. Shen Yao no longer stayed in the tall tree because she knew that if she lingered any longer, something truly serious might happen!
Shen Yao's movements were incredibly swift and silent as she made her way to a vantage point near the castle.
With the support of her spiritual energy, Shen Yao effortlessly reached the castle's rooftop.
Her arrival went unnoticed, and she had no intention of revealing herself directly; she planned to strike from the shadows.
She stealthily positioned herself on the opposite side of the helicopters from Senna and his group.
She used her divine sense to observe, confirmed the enemy positions behind the makeshift cover, and then, with lightning speed, took them down one by one.
Soon, Senna began to sense that something was amiss on their side, as he noticed the sounds of pain and gasps gradually decreasing!
What did this indicate? It indicated that several of their men were silently disappearing!
Upon realizing this, Senna immediately shouted, "Everyone, gather together! We have an ambusher!"
Following Senna's command, everyone acted swiftly, huddling in groups of two or three behind the same cover.
This way, even an ambusher couldn't deal with them all at once.
As soon as they were discovered, they could raise an alarm, and the ambusher would surely be exposed!
Seeing Senna's quick reaction, Shen Yao couldn't help but sigh in regret.
