"Get down, get down..."
Nie Xiaoyu shouted at Tang Xiaotian and another soldier. Everyone immediately scrambled and lay down in the grass...
At the same time, they focused on the woods in the three o'clock direction, where four SUVs burst out. They carried over twenty fully armed enemies, one of whom was carrying a heavy sniper rifle and aiming at Wan Yunting, who was hiding behind a rock!
Wan Yunting held Li Yuxiu, who was trembling slightly, and cautiously peeked out to assess the situation. He suddenly felt a sense of danger and immediately pulled his head back. With a bang, a bullet struck the rock above Wan Yunting's head, sending gravel flying and kicking up a cloud of dust...
Nie Xiaoyu, lying in the grass not far away, widened her eyes, aiming her gun at the approaching enemies. Regardless of whether they were terrorists or local rebels, she yelled at Tang Xiaotian and the other soldier, "Counterattack!"
"Yes."
Tang Xiaotian and the others, also positioned in different spots, locked onto the four fast-approaching SUVs. The three of them opened fire with their Type 95 assault rifles...
Bang bang bang...
Flames spat from the muzzles of their rifles, causing the grass leaves on the ground to flutter. Bullet after bullet was fired...
From the four SUVs in the distance, several enemies were immediately thrown out of the vehicles, falling to the ground and writhing in agony...
Bang bang bang...
Torres, holding a foreign assault rifle, and his teammates also opened fire. Bullets whizzed through the air, and Nie Xiaoyu immediately rolled in the grass as bullets struck the ground, tearing up clumps of earth and grass.
Nie Xiaoyu, a seasoned veteran, stabilized herself and immediately aimed at the enemy sniper with the rifle on the middle car, squeezing the trigger. A bullet flew out...
*Pfft!*
The sniper's head was hit, and he flew backward, falling onto the grass...
"Damn it."
Seeing his sniper shot in the head, Torres was enraged. He immediately ordered the convoy to stop. His team members jumped down and began to advance towards Nie Xiaoyu's position. Gunfire continuously echoed through the area, startling the local fishermen downstream, who dropped their nets and fish and fled.
"Don't be afraid..."
Wan Yunting comforted Li Yuxiu, who was trembling and pale with fear in his arms. However, he heard a buzzing sound from above. It was the drone. Wan Yunting immediately drew the pistol from his waist, chambered a round, and fired two shots at the drone hovering above him, bringing it down.
The foreigner controlling the drone cursed and yelled at Torres, "Boss, that rock in the ten o'clock direction, that Chinese man is hiding behind it!"
Confirming the Chinese man's location, Torres raised his assault rifle and shouted, "Everyone target that rock, kill that Chinese man!"
"Understood..."
The remaining eighteen team members bent down, firing at Nie Xiaoyu and Tang Xiaotian while slowly advancing.
"Wang Kai..."
Tang Xiaotian cried out in grief as another comrade was shot dead in the grass. He held his rifle and fired relentlessly at the unknown enemies in the distance.
"Officer Nie, we can't keep this up. We need to find a way to retreat!"
Wan Yunting, pulling Li Yuxiu behind the rock, shouted to Nie Xiaoyu, who was still hiding in the grass.
Nie Xiaoyu changed positions and continued to shoot. She also observed the forest behind them, realizing that any retreat would have to be in that direction.
"There are too many enemies, we can't retreat!"
Tang Xiaotian shouted. Due to the vast disparity in numbers, they couldn't even get up.
"Doctor Wan, we will provide cover for you to retreat into the woods. Quickly!"
Nie Xiaoyu turned and yelled at Wan Yunting behind the rock.
Wan Yunting's eyes widened. Looking at Nie Xiaoyu's determined gaze, she said, "Otherwise, we'll all die here. Hurry."
However, Wan Yunting released Li Yuxiu, who was trembling slightly, from his embrace. Holding his pistol in his right hand and taking out two magazines from his pocket, he turned and shouted resolutely at Nie Xiaoyu, who had changed her position again, "If we go, we go together. Or we die together...!"
Without further hesitation, Wan Yunting told Li Yuxiu to hide well behind the rock. He then rolled to the left. In an instant, his pistol was aimed at a group of enemies advancing nearby, and a bullet flew out, instantly felling one enemy.
Bang bang bang...
In just a few seconds, Wan Yunting emptied a magazine of his pistol, knocking down three enemies. He immediately rolled and crawled on the grass, quickly reloading another magazine. He then rose and lunged forward, firing his weapon while constantly changing positions.
He moved with incredible speed, like a hunting leopard. Bullets whizzed past him, but none hit him.
"Damn it, concentrate your firepower and kill him!"
Torres had already taken cover on the grass. Watching Wan Yunting continuously leap, dodge, crawl, and shoot, he saw that in just over ten seconds, five of his men had been taken down, leaving only nine team members.
Tang Xiaotian and Nie Xiaoyu were also shocked by Wan Yunting's performance. It was undeniable that Wan Yunting, utilizing his superhuman speed and abilities, had instantly eliminated five or six enemies. Torres and his men concentrated their firepower on Wan Yunting.
Wan Yunting lunged forward again. A burst of bullets grazed his scalp, but still, they failed to hit him. Tang Xiaotian's jaw nearly dropped, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Too fast, truly too fast...!"
After expending two magazines, his pistol was out of bullets. Wan Yunting lay still in the grass.
"Captain Nie, I'm out of bullets!"
Tang Xiaotian had also run out of ammunition. They had come out believing they were merely accompanying Wan Yunting and Li Yuxiu to gather herbs and did not expect any danger, so they had not brought much ammunition.
Nie Xiaoyu also looked at the rifle in her hand, finding it empty of bullets. She had already drawn her pistol and was firing back.
"Captain Nie, I'm coming...!"
Suddenly, a distant SUV sped towards them. It was the soldier, Xiao Ge, who had stayed behind to guard the vehicle. He was driving and firing his rifle at Torres's position, giving Wan Yunting and Nie Xiaoyu's group a brief respite.
Instantly, Wan Yunting leaped out of the grass and went to the side of Xiao Xiang, who had been shot in the head. He took the rifle from his fallen comrade and threw a magazine to Nie Xiaoyu nearby.
*Boom...!*
Tang Xiaotian, out of bullets, threw two grenades, but they didn't hit any enemies.
Torres saw the SUV speeding towards Wan Yunting's group for reinforcement. He immediately turned his gun towards the soldier in the car and fired a burst of bullets, killing Xiao Ge in the car. The car, still accelerating, lost control and sped off into the distance.
"Xiao Ge..."
Seeing this, Tang Xiaotian cried out in grief. In less than five minutes of engagement, they had lost four comrades.
At the same time, from the nearby woods, two more SUVs emerged, bringing reinforcements for Torres.
Seeing this, Wan Yunting raised his rifle and fired at the distant enemy again, taking down two more enemies. However, he also saw reinforcements arriving and immediately shouted, "Captain Nie, you go first..."
"Captain Nie, hurry and retreat!"
Tang Xiaotian, having retrieved a rifle from another fallen comrade, scanned and suppressed the enemy fire with Wan Yunting.
Nie Xiaoyu's eyes widened. Taking advantage of the suppressive fire from Wan Yunting and Tang Xiaotian, she gritted her teeth, got up, and rushed towards Li Yuxiu behind the rock. She pulled the almost petrified Li Yuxiu and ran towards the woods behind them, shouting, "Hurry and retreat..."
"Doctor Wan, you go first, quickly..."
Tang Xiaotian shouted to Wan Yunting while firing and retreating.
Wan Yunting also fired and retreated. But when he turned to call Tang Xiaotian to leave with them, he saw Tang Xiaotian being hit by a shot and sent flying, falling into the grass. He convulsed, blood gushing from his mouth. However, his eyes were fixed on Wan Yunting, and with his last ounce of strength, he shouted, "Go... Go quickly...!"
Seeing this, Wan Yunting's eyes widened. Grief and rage filled him. But Torres and his men had already risen and were aiming their guns at Wan Yunting, forcing him to dodge and dive while retreating towards Nie Xiaoyu and Li Yuxiu.
"Chase them..."
Seeing Wan Yunting fleeing, Torres shouted. The remaining few team members also got into the two supporting SUVs and began to pursue Wan Yunting, Li Yuxiu, and Nie Xiaoyu. Gunshots continued, and bullets whizzed past the three, hitting the trees and grass nearby.
"Ah..."
Li Yuxiu screamed as she was shot in the abdomen and fell to the ground. Nie Xiaoyu quickly crouched down to help her, firing back at their pursuers.
At this moment, Wan Yunting arrived. Seeing Li Yuxiu wounded, he was greatly anxious. Li Yuxiu, clutching the wound, cried out in pain to Nie Xiaoyu and Wan Yunting, "Don't mind me, you two go quickly..."
Wan Yunting's eyes glared. He grabbed Li Yuxiu and handed her to Nie Xiaoyu, saying, "Take her and go. I'll cover your retreat."
Nie Xiaoyu, supporting Li Yuxiu, hid behind a tree. She looked at Wan Yunting and then at the two SUVs with more than a dozen enemies in pursuit. She knew that under the current circumstances, the three of them could not escape.
But Wan Yunting's sharp eyes looked at Nie Xiaoyu and said firmly, "They are here for me. You go first!"
Nie Xiaoyu was startled by his words, but recalling the battle earlier, it seemed as if the enemies were indeed targeting Wan Yunting. So, she handed her spare magazines and a few grenades to Wan Yunting, saying, "Be careful."
"Go quickly."
Wan Yunting took the magazines and two grenades, telling Nie Xiaoyu to take the injured Li Yuxiu and leave. He then held his rifle, hiding behind a tree. Torres and his men pursued them. Since cars could not pass through the dense woods, twelve team members disembarked and locked onto Wan Yunting's position, advancing aggressively.
"Go."
Nie Xiaoyu, taking the injured Li Yuxiu, immediately ran deeper into the woods. Torres saw their figures and immediately opened fire.
But then, a grenade flew towards them. Torres's eyes widened, and he yelled before diving forward...
