Chapter 2189
Mansion Battle
At this time, their clothes were soaked with sweat and blood, and their faces were full of fatigue and vigilance. But they knew that the danger was not completely over, and they had to leave the city as soon as possible and find a safe place to rest.
After a short rest, Long Zhan and the other two stood up again and walked cautiously towards the edge of the city. Their figures seemed particularly small in the dim streets, but their eyes revealed determination and indomitable spirit. In this city full of dangers and unknowns, they were like three tenacious wild wolves, looking for hope of survival in the darkness.
Breakout
In that land that has long been shrouded in flames and smoke, the situation is always on the verge of breaking out, and danger is always around. The scorching sun bakes the earth, and the air is filled with the pungent smell of smoke and dust. Long Zhan, Norman, and Stonebridge are exhausted, and sweat mixed with dust leaves mud marks on their faces. They thought they could get a moment of respite after the last round of fierce fighting, but fate does not seem to let them go easily.
Not long after walking, the frightening scene happened again. A group of armed men quickly surrounded us from all directions like ghosts, their eyes were full of ferocity and greed, and the weapons in their hands flashed coldly in the sun. These armed men were in ragged clothes, but they could not hide their fierceness. Some of them were smoking, and some were shouting loudly. The noisy sound was particularly harsh in this chaotic place.
Before they could even catch their breath, the three men tensed up their nerves, tightened their muscles, and clenched their weapons tightly, as if that was the only barrier between them and death. They had no choice but to once again engage in the brutal fight of fighting and fleeing, and launched a thrilling second battle with these militants.
"This way, this way!" Nowen was agile and nimble, running very fast, rushing to the front. Her neat short hair fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were firm and sharp, like a keen cheetah. While running fast, she quickly observed the surrounding environment with a sharp gaze, guiding the route for her companions behind her. Her voice was crisp but a little anxious, which was particularly clear in this tense atmosphere. Every word was like a heavy hammer, knocking on the hearts of her companions.
Long Zhan and Stonebridge did not dare to slack off and followed closely behind Norman. Long Zhan was a burly man with steady and powerful steps. Every step seemed to be on solid ground, leaving deep footprints. Stonebridge was a little thin, but his eyes were full of ruthlessness. His breathing was rapid and heavy, and sweat kept falling from his forehead, dripping on the dry ground and disappearing in an instant. The figures of the three people seemed so small in this chaotic land, but so firm, as if they were a flame that would never go out in the darkness.
However, today, Nowen seemed to have terrible luck. The seemingly safe route she chose was actually full of dangers. After taking a few steps, vehicles appeared in front of her. The vehicles were parked there quietly, covered with dust and bullet holes, but they seemed like dormant beasts, exuding a dangerous atmosphere. There was an eerie silence around the vehicles, as if they were waiting for their prey to approach.
"Damn it, damn it!" Long Zhan couldn't help but curse, his voice full of anger and helplessness. His fists were clenched, his joints turned white due to the force, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. The situation was critical, and he had no time to think about it, so he could only turn to the right immediately. But fate seemed to play a cruel joke on them again, and there were already armed men ambushing on the right.
Long Zhan reacted quickly and rushed in first, so he was not hurt for the time being. But Stonebridge was not so lucky. He was shot by the armed men who got off the car quickly because he entered later. A bullet ruthlessly penetrated his arm, and the blood instantly dyed his sleeves red. The skin and flesh at the wound rolled up, revealing the bright red flesh and blood, which was unbearable to look at.
"My arm is only injured, it doesn't affect my movements." Stonebridge gritted his teeth and said while enduring the pain. Although his face showed a look of pain, his eyes were firm, as if he was declaring his unyielding spirit to fate. His body was shaking slightly, but he still tried to keep standing and not fall down.
"Let's go, buddy, hurry up!" Long Zhan was so anxious that he didn't bother to check Stonebridge's injuries carefully. He quickly carried him and rushed to the right intersection. His arms tightly embraced Stonebridge's shoulders, conveying strength and support. The two bodies were tightly pressed together, fighting against this endless danger together.
Nowen followed closely behind, and the three of them ran wildly on the dusty road. Their figures were stretched out in the sunlight, looking a little embarrassed, but full of unyielding strength. After running for a distance, they quickly hid in a house next to them.
The house was filled with an old smell, the walls were covered with spider webs, and the corners were filled with debris. "Hey, are you okay?" Long Zhan entered the house and quickly checked around. After confirming that there was no danger, he hurried to Stonebridge and asked with concern. His eyes were full of worry, and his brows were tightly knitted together, like an unsolvable knot.
"I'm fine, just a scratch on my arm." Stonebridge pretended to be calm, his voice was a little weak, but still firm. Although the pain from his arm was almost unbearable, and every breath was like a knife cutting his wound, he never cried out in pain, showing his full manliness.
"Come, take a look at the situation, buddy." Seeing that it was safe for the time being and Long Zhan was guarding the door, Norman immediately came to Stonebridge. She carefully lifted Stonebridge's injured arm and carefully examined the wound. Her eyes were focused and serious, as if she was performing a crucial operation. Her fingers gently touched the skin around the wound, and her movements were gentle and cautious.
"It looks good." Although Stonebridge's arm was covered in blood and the flesh on the wound was rolled up, which was unbearable to look at, Norman tried to ease the tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a forced smile, trying to use this smile to dispel the haze around her.
"I don't know how to explain this when I get home." Stonebridge also joked with a wry smile. There was a trace of helplessness on his face, but he was thinking about how to face his family. He imagined the worried look in his family's eyes when they saw him injured, and a feeling of guilt surged in his heart. "Hey, try to talk less about these things." Long Zhan reminded on the side. His voice was low and powerful, breaking the brief relaxed atmosphere. He knew that now was not the time to talk about these things, and danger could come again at any time. Every minute and every second was extremely precious.
"It's not what you think." Norman explained a few words to Long Zhan, then turned around and whispered to comfort Stonebridge: "He is very proud of you, you know? You have found a decent job and live a decent life, he will definitely be happy for you." Her voice was gentle and firm, as if it carried a reassuring power, like the warm sun in winter, warming Stonebridge's heart.
"Bandage him quickly, we have to go, they will catch up soon." Long Zhan has keenly heard the faint footsteps coming from outside. Although their current position has not been exposed and the militants do not know that they have hidden in the house, he knows that staying here is not a long-term solution and must leave as soon as possible to ensure safety. He put his ear close to the door and listened carefully to the movements outside, not missing any slight sound.
"Let's go, it's not a big problem." Stonebridge glanced at the arm that had been bandaged by Norman, picked up the gun again, and walked firmly behind Long Zhan. Although his steps were a little staggering, his eyes were full of determination, as if telling himself and his companions that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he would not back down.
The three of them walked through the house carefully. The interior decoration of this house was very luxurious. Exquisite murals hung on the walls, depicting a peaceful and beautiful pastoral scenery, which formed a sharp contrast with the war outside. Expensive carpets covered the floor, soft and thick, and every step was like stepping on clouds. The gorgeous chandelier hung from the ceiling. Although it was not lit at the moment, one could still imagine its dazzling light when it was lit. It was obvious that it belonged to a rare wealthy family. Compared with the dilapidated houses outside, this place was simply two different worlds.
Long Zhan took the lead, quickly passed through the house, and soon came to the back door of the house. He wanted to push the door open and go out, but the moment his hand touched the door, he suddenly stopped. His hand stopped in mid-air, as if being pulled by an invisible force. Because he heard bursts of noisy shouting coming from outside, the voice was full of hostility, and he knew it was the militants as soon as he heard it.
Unexpectedly, armed men also rushed over from the back door. Long Zhan's face suddenly changed. His originally resolute face instantly became serious, and his eyes revealed vigilance and determination. He immediately turned around and ran while shouting loudly: "The enemy is coming from this side, hurry up!" His voice echoed in the house, full of urgency, and every word was like a bomb, exploding in the hearts of his companions.
The militants outside heard the noises coming from inside the house, and fearing that there might be danger inside, they dared not open the door rashly. They raised their guns and fired wildly at the door without hesitation. "Da da da da da da..." The gunshots were as dense as fried beans, and the bullets poured out like a storm. The thin wooden door panels were completely vulnerable to such powerful firepower. The bullets easily penetrated the door panels, splashed all over the house, and smashed the exquisite decorations in the house. The murals on the wall were riddled with holes, and the originally beautiful pictures became fragmented; the carpet was also covered with bullet holes, and the fluff was flying everywhere; the gorgeous chandelier fell to the ground with a "clang" after a violent shake, shattered, and glass fragments were scattered all over the floor.
"Go go go, go go go!" Long Zhan and the other three shouted loudly as they retreated back into the house. Their voices seemed a little weak amid the sound of gunfire, but they were full of fighting spirit. Every shout seemed to be announcing their unyielding spirit to the enemy. They moved quickly through the house, dodging the flying bullets. Their figures seemed a little blurry in the dim light, but they were so determined.
Enemies appeared at both the front and back doors, and danger was imminent. They made a quick decision and chose to go out from the garage on the other side. The design of this rich family's house was very clever, and there were even several exits. If this door was blocked, there was another door that could be used, which provided some convenience for their escape. But they couldn't help wondering why the owner of the house was not in the house? Did he leave before the danger came, or did he encounter any unexpected events? These questions flashed through their minds, but at this moment they had no time to delve into them. Their brains were working quickly, thinking about every possible escape plan, not letting go of every detail.
As soon as they reached the garage, they heard someone coming from the side road, shouting and yelling. As soon as they heard the voice, they knew it was an inexperienced rookie.
Without a second thought, Long Zhan quickly leaned out, aimed the gun in his hand accurately, and pulled the trigger without hesitation. With a "bang", a bullet whizzed out, instantly killing the militant who rushed over recklessly. The militant's body fell backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground. Blood gushed out of his body and spread on the ground, forming a dark red pool of blood.
As if Nuo Wen had discussed it with Long Zhan in advance, she rushed over in a few steps. She had only one goal, which was to get all the guns and bullets of the militants. At this critical moment, everyone had very few bullets left. Even if it was taboo to use other people's weapons, no one would do so unless it was absolutely necessary, but now they were in a desperate situation and had no choice but to rely on these weapons and ammunition taken from the enemy. She moved swiftly and quickly, like an agile monkey, quickly searching for weapons and ammunition next to the enemy's body, with determination and determination in her eyes.
"Hey, take it!" Norwen quickly took out the magazine and threw it to Long Zhan and Stonebridge. Her movements were skillful and fast, her eyes were firm, and every movement was smooth and natural. Long Zhan and Stonebridge steadily caught the magazine and quickly replaced it, preparing for the battle that might break out next. Stonebridge also replaced the gun of the militants at Norwen's signal.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" After taking the weapons and ammunition from the militants, Nowen immediately ran away while shouting. Her voice was urgent and powerful, urging her companions to leave this dangerous place quickly, and every word was like a warning bell. (End of this chapter)
