Before he could let out a long breath, Z7 pressed the blood surging from his chest, swallowed the blood foam in his mouth, pressed his throat, and asked, “Who is still alive, squeak.”
Z7’s heart was cold with his back pain until his muscles all over his body twitched. He waited for so long but didn’t hear a reply… D*mn, they couldn’t be all killed!
“We are still alive.” K7’s voice sounded, and it was as if hearing the Buddha’s voice.
Ye Jian, who climbed upstairs, heard his voice, and her knees slightly weakened. With one hand on the wall, she took a few breaths, slowly leaned her back against the wall, and then let out another long breath. Her heart that seemed to split into several petals earlier, began to gather little by little.
The moment the missile passed in front of her eyes, she thought… her comrades would definitely not be able to escape and also thought that the man who seemed to be indifferent to herself, but in fact always led her to her goal with him and never walked away, was gone.
Luckily, luckily… everyone was okay.
“Is everyone safe?”
It was just a few words, but Ye Jian was picking at the wall with her fingernails. She kept picking at the wall until her fingers felt pain before she controlled herself.
Xia Jinyuan knew her best; he could hear the fear in her heart from how she ended her sentence softly, “Everyone is safe, Blue Bird, where are you now.”
Everyone was safe; rest assured, he was fine.
Ye Jian, whose eyes had instantly lost light earlier, raised her head and forced her tears back, “I’m still on the top floor, planning to deal with the guys with heavy weapons.”
“Very well. Immediately after you kill the bazooka, come down and gather with V8 and Z7. Be careful. The people of Andican are all hiding in the dark; Z7 was almost killed.” Hearing that she had adjusted her mood within a few seconds, Xia Jinyuan, whose face was a mess due to the black gunpowder, smiled slightly, then he said solemnly, “We are turning around to pick you guys. Up.”
Ye Jian wiped the corners of her eyes, regained her coldness, and replied, “Okay! I will do it now!”
She no longer wasted any time. At the half top floor, she returned to the position where she could see the entrance to the street ahead, crawled forward, set up her sniper rifle, and sternly went from aiming to sniping in one go.
The sniper bullet hit the target and also stunned Ladner’s subordinates.
“Sniper! There is a sniper!”
“Find that darned sniper! Find him!”
The pirates in Ladner’s camp dared not stand in the open. Being hit by the bazooka barrel that half of their heads were gone, they were reminded that if they stood in the open like how they were now, they might be the next target.
Ladner, who was hiding, was also startled when he heard there was a sniper. He immediately found a place to hide.
Ye Jian did not continue to snipe. She had already sniped seven targets at her current location. If she stayed, she would be spotted by Andican’s subordinates, who were also hiding.
Andican’s people were more cunning than… Ladner’s people, like rats in the gutter, are hard to guard against.
The bloody sun set in full swing on the horizon, bringing a weird view of the entire Mogadishu. The scattered light spread to the ground, reflecting a bloody color.
The city’s artillery fire could be heard at any time; the entire street was full of lifeless gloom and emptiness. The ruins that were destroyed by the artillery fire were shrouded in the bloody sunset. Just the sight of the scene could make people feel suffocated.
There was no hope, no future, only despair.
Someone stood at a shady place, looking outside through the opening of the black hole, with coldness in his eyes.
