Hearing Hu Zi'an's words, Qin Xuan hurried out of the hotel entrance and looked outside.
Countless large lights suddenly shone towards the hotel building.
In an instant, the entire hotel seemed to be bathed in bright daylight.
"People from Longguo inside, listen up, I am General Sheng Ming."
A harsh horn sound suddenly blared, and Sheng Ming's poor Longguo accent directly reached everyone's ears.
"I'll give you 10 minutes. Come out on your knees and apologize, and I will forgive you."
"Otherwise, I will have my subordinates storm in and kill you all, leaving no one alive!"
"Now, start the timer."
Sheng Ming's voice sent the hotel staff into a panic.
It wasn't that they understood Sheng Ming's words, but they knew that after such a display, a tough fight was inevitable.
Wen Lin and the others tried their best to stabilize the staff's emotions, while Qin Xuan frantically searched for a solution.
Going out was definitely not an option. Given Sheng Ming's hysterical personality, who knew what he would do.
What's more, he seemed to have other intentions towards Xiao Ya. If they went out, it would truly be like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
But if they didn't go out, what could they do in the hotel?
Although small armies like Wu Mijun, whose ammunition relied entirely on procurement, did not possess heavy weapons, they were soldiers nonetheless and held guns.
And what about their side?
Apart from a dozen mercenaries who could be considered combat strength, the rest were ordinary people.
In the face of mass firearms, they could do nothing but wait for death.
After much thought, Qin Xuan still felt they couldn't just sit and wait for death.
Even if they were to die, he wanted to at least take some advantage from Sheng Ming.
"Hu Zi'an, are you still conscious!" Qin Xuan said in a deep voice.
Hu Zi'an weakly replied, "Boss, I'm still here."
"Well done!"
"Go, take the two women and the other staff to a safer place to hide. Unless I come to find you myself, don't come out for anyone."
"Under...stood." Hu Zi'an said, suppressing his dizziness.
"And one more thing!"
After a moment of silence, Qin Xuan called back the departing Hu Zi'an, his expression serious. "You must remember, you are a man!"
"If you are discovered by Sheng Ming in the end, you should know what to do."
"I understand!" Hu Zi'an nodded vigorously, then gestured for Xiao Ya and the others to follow him.
Yu En and the other staff had nothing to say and followed directly.
But Xiao Ya hesitated.
She believed her skills were not weak and that she should be able to help Qin Xuan and the others.
But then she thought.
She knew almost nothing about firearms, and her martial arts skills were useless against enemies armed with live ammunition.
There was no other way, so she could only follow Hu Zi'an's footsteps and take refuge with the main group.
"Lin Qiang, you will follow me from now on. I need you to translate for me."
After Hu Zi'an and the others left, Qin Xuan said to the mercenary who knew Longguo language.
He was currently the only person present who could speak both languages, and he needed him to communicate with others for whatever he planned to do.
Lin Qiang nodded upon hearing this.
With the enemy at the gates, every bit of strength was indispensable.
Moreover, everyone had witnessed Qin Xuan's strength.
With Hu Zi'an gone, he had to be the bridge of communication between Qin Xuan and the captain.
Having received Lin Qiang's affirmative reply, Qin Xuan immediately asked him to inquire with Wen Lin if he had any countermeasures.
Wen Lin put away the instrument in his hand and shrugged helplessly.
"Yes and no."
"I sent a distress signal to Commander Pan Lin via satellite phone just now, but I haven't received a response yet."
"I'm afraid the situation on their end is not very optimistic either."
"So, there's no other way but to have the brothers find good positions and ambush them."
"As for the effect..."
"We'll hold on for as long as we can."
Hearing Wen Lin's words, Qin Xuan's brows furrowed tightly.
The enemy had too many people.
If they relied only on their own group, it wouldn't be enough to fight back against the enemy.
"By the way, how much weaponry do we still have?"
Wen Lin thought for a moment and counted on his fingers for Qin Xuan. "In the hotel, we brought thirteen rifles, five submachine guns, and one sniper rifle."
"We don't have too many bullets and grenades. If we unleash full firepower, we can probably hold on for about ten minutes."
"In other words, if Commander Pan Lin doesn't send reinforcements after ten minutes."
"Heh heh, then we're dead for sure."
Hearing Wen Lin's gallows humor, Qin Xuan couldn't help but laugh along.
It seemed that even when facing death, Wen Lin was an extremely optimistic person.
"So, you're saying we're all going to die no matter what?"
"In that case, have your brothers find good positions and set up an ambush in advance."
"You, me, and Lin Qiang will go upstairs to have some fun."
Have some fun?
Wen Lin didn't understand what Qin Xuan meant by "have some fun."
But he still followed Qin Xuan's instructions and relayed them to his subordinates.
Regardless, a tough fight was unavoidable, and the more prepared they were, the greater their chance of survival.
Upon reaching the rooftop, it wasn't until he saw the assembled sniper rifle in Lin Qiang's hand that Wen Lin suddenly understood.
"So, when you said 'have some fun,' you meant sniping from the rooftop at long range?"
Qin Xuan grinned, "I've never seen what long-range sniping looks like."
"Since we're all going to die anyway, we might as well get some experience first."
Saying that, he took the sniper rifle from Lin Qiang and mimicked the way he saw it on television, making a few gestures.
"So, between you two, who has better marksmanship?"
After having his fill, Qin Xuan first looked up at Lin Qiang. Lin Qiang shook his head, indicating his marksmanship was average. Qin Xuan smiled and then handed the sniper rifle to Wen Lin.
Taking the gun, Wen Lin also felt a bit eager to try.
He carefully adjusted the scope to be accurate, then placed the entire rifle in a hidden position at the edge of the rooftop.
He lay down, aimed, and in just a moment, Wen Lin officially entered sniper mode.
However, half a minute later, he angrily got up from the ground.
He cursed, "No good, I originally wanted to demonstrate the entire process of long-range sniping for you, but these bastards' searchlights are too blinding, I can't see anyone."
Hearing Wen Lin's complaint, Qin Xuan's heart stirred. He looked at the sniper rifle placed on the ground and said tentatively, "How about, let me try?"
"You try?" Wen Lin was stunned. "Didn't you say you've never seen long-range sniping before, how can you?"
"You guys teach me!" Qin Xuan said indifferently. "After all, you two are the elites among elites."
Wen Lin was even more bewildered.
Had this Qin Xuan played too many games and thought he could just pick up a sniper rifle and use it?
One had to know that for a sniper to hit a target accurately, besides calculating distance, trajectory, wind direction, terrain, and various other data, they also needed to be familiar with the gun's characteristics and handling feel.
You, who don't even know how to use a sniper rifle, want to snipe someone directly?
I'd consider you amazing if you could even fire the gun!
