The lights in the hallway flickered on and off. Dongfang Lu ran towards the back of the auditorium as more than ten students stumbled to escape.
There was an unbearable pain in his chest. Not long ago, he was hit by [Gods No Thoughts], and his bones felt like they were broken. He originally thought that he was talented and hardworking, and after so many years of training, he wouldn't be too bad. But now, it seemed that the world's top assassins and soldiers were too terrifying.
He also thought of the young man who was even a year younger than him. According to the investigation of Yanhuang Awakening, this was a very ordinary young man. His parents were both dead, and he relied on the Huang family to survive. Because of this, he developed a somewhat low-key and somewhat arrogant personality. His life history was clear and simple.
It was hard to imagine how such a person could have such outstanding strength. He forced Minamoto No Yoritomo to retreat, and killed Ōuchi Chōnō. As long as he thought of these things, he would feel a particularly frightening feeling.
Thinking back to the series of things that happened after he fell in love with Ye Lingjing, he couldn't help but want to shake his head and smile bitterly. Now it seemed that he had wandered around the edge of life and death many times.
In the chaos of moving forward, the girl beside him was still chattering about the thrill of running with Dongfang Wan last time. When they passed by a fork in the road, there was a commotion on the side of the road. It turned out that a few students who wanted to go out that way had encountered the mercenaries outside and were forced to escape. The remaining mercenaries didn't have much time to stop these students from escaping, but if they ran in front of them, they naturally wouldn't turn a blind eye.
"Over there … there's someone with a gun over there, shooting at us …"
"The front door is also guarded …"
"Quick, go this way …"
Everyone lowered their voices in fear. Whispers and growls merged into a strange clamor. The girls were already scared to the point of crying, and many people were so scared that their legs went soft. They didn't have the courage and strength to continue running after walking for a short distance. The boys weren't much better. Figures came and went. Suddenly, the sound of a submachine gun in front of them suddenly rang out. Sparks flew across the ceiling above the corridor, and as dust fell, someone in the corner of the corridor in the distance shouted fiercely in stiff Chinese, "Go back!"
Screams and cries of surprise suddenly rang out again. The dozen or so people in front all ran back. When the girl next to Dongfang Lu saw this, she suddenly pulled on his hand and turned around to escape. Dongfang Lu, however, fiercely broke free from the girl's hand. He quickly ran a few steps and rushed into a room in front.
The screaming crowd rushed back. The girl who had a crush on him cried a few times, as if she wanted to follow, but in the end, she was afraid. She turned around and followed the crowd while crying.. the sound.......
The sound of gunfire came from the front, driving the students back to the hall. Dongfang Lu closed the door and pulled the curtains, wanting to wait for the person to pass by before going out.
But after thinking about it, he still felt that it wasn't safe. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped onto a table in the room, endured the pain in his chest, and climbed up the ventilation duct above the room.
After crawling for about twenty meters in the duct, he made a turn at the end of the duct. He calculated the distance in his heart and opened the third ventilation grate he passed by. He could vaguely see a room with all kinds of costumes below. There were all kinds of princess costumes, prince costumes, black cat costumes, gray bear costumes, and rabbit costumes in the room. He didn't know which one Dongfang Wan was wearing. He only called for Xiao Wan, and the door was kicked open with a bang. He hurriedly closed the ventilation grate. A mercenary holding a submachine gun cautiously came in. Just now, he heard Dongfang Lu's shout.
Through the grate, he could still see the situation below. He saw the mercenary cautiously observing the situation in the room, looking at the disorderly dolls. Then, his gaze was attracted by something on the side of the room.
Dongfang Lu looked in that direction and saw that the glass window above the room had been smashed. A large pile of junk was in the corner of the room. Clearly, someone had trampled on it.
Could it be … that his sister had escaped from here …
As he thought this, the mercenary who wanted to take a closer look at the pile of junk stepped on the big gray bear's paw on the ground. Suddenly, the other hand of the gray bear moved. The mercenary obviously felt that something was wrong under his feet. The moment he turned the muzzle, Dongfang Lu pushed open the ventilation grate and jumped down!
"Run — —"
Bang — —
Boom — —
The black shadow swooped down. Suddenly, the figure hugged the mercenary and slammed into the wall behind them. At the same time, the gray bear jumped up from the ground with indescribable agility and rushed out of the door.
Although Dongfang Lu couldn't withstand a single blow from Deities No Thoughts, compared to these mercenaries, the disparity wasn't that great. This time, it was a calculated move, and the mercenary was knocked dizzy within a few seconds. Dongfang Lu, on the other hand, wasn't too badly injured. He ran out of the room with the Grizzly Bear.
Even the mercenaries who were still in the room didn't notice that the big white rabbit on the ground suddenly moved. However, Dongfang Lu had already run out as fast as his life depended on it. The mercenaries cursed fiercely and immediately chased after him.
The white rabbit got up and chased a few steps. When it reached the door, it could only see the back of the mercenary madly chasing after him.
In the darkness, Dongfang Wan's faint cry came from the big white rabbit. "Brother …"
Hearing that there seemed to be movement on the other side, the big white rabbit ran back to the place where Just now was pretending to be dead. It changed into a strange posture and stopped moving …
Dongfang Lu and the gray bear did not run too far.
When he ran past a pillar in the corridor, the butt of a gun suddenly swung out from behind the pillar and smashed him to the ground with a bang. Then, the person pointed the submachine gun at the big gray bear next to him. Just now, the mercenary he hit also ran over. He raised his gun and was about to pull the trigger, but then he was stopped by the mercenary who blocked Dongfang Lu.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Dongfang Lu's face was already swollen. The big gray bear stood on the side with its hands raised, its stubby legs trembling.
The two mercenaries exchanged a few words in Thai. One of them said in Chinese, "Who are you?
Speak! "
"You … Please let her go, I can let my family pay, I can be your hostage …" Climbing up from the ground, Dongfang Lu leaned against the wall to steady himself. He knew that these mercenaries' Chinese was not good, so he spoke in fluent English. The two mercenaries looked at each other, and when they spoke again, they also switched to English. "Who are you?"
"Please let her go …" Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Lu's stomach had been hit hard, and his upper body bent down in pain.
"I hate it when people don't answer questions in front of me!
Who are you!
Speak! "
"I am … the heir of the Dongfang family in Jianghai City. I have the ability to let my family pay you a ransom … Let her go …"
The mercenaries came to Jianghai City this time for money. As the most influential force in Jianghai City, the Dongfang family had done their research before. Hostages didn't care about the number, the most important thing was to capture enough hostages to get the money. Hearing this identity, the mercenaries' faces eased a little, but one of them coldly smiled. "We have already caught you …"
"You don't have …" With a flip of his hand, when he straightened his body again, Dongfang Lu's left hand was already holding a dagger, which he pressed against his chest. "No one will pay for a dead body. You can take the money peacefully with me as a hostage, or make a group of enemies who won't rest until one of us dies … You can choose …"
"Put down the knife!" Just now, the mercenary who stopped him said in a deep voice.
"She is the most important family member to me."
Looking at the big gray bear, Dongfang Lu said, "Since she can die for me, I can also die for her. Don't doubt my determination …"
"I said put down the knife!" The mercenary raised his voice.
"…"
"Bullsh * t …" The mercenary suddenly pointed his gun at the big grizzly bear. Then, he reached out his hand and threw away the grizzly bear's head cover.
Then, Dongfang Lu and the two mercenaries were stunned.
Under the hood, there was a fat face that had turned the color of a pig's liver from fright. His face was mottled with blood and sweat. It was none other than Fu Yanjie.
The two mercenaries looked at Dongfang Lu's still handsome face after being beaten, and then looked at the wretched pig's head. For a long time, they were speechless.
Dongfang Lu blinked, the dagger fell to the ground with a clang, and stared at the fat man.
"This … That …"
"I … Don't, don't …" The fat man saw that the gun was pointed at him, but he could only shake his head desperately. He didn't understand the English that the three people were speaking. At this time, with a crying voice, he repeated the few words he knew in a foreign language, "No … Don't … Ya, Ya Meidi …"
"The most important person to you … Motherf * cking shit …" In English, male and female were separate words, so the mercenaries had a deep impression of the word "she" that Dongfang Lu just said. One of the mercenaries suddenly pointed the gun at Dongfang Lu's forehead, fiercely pulled the bolt, and angrily roared, "I hate you faggots the most …"
…
…
"Go —"
Following the gunshot, Xun's body rolled to the ground. On the other side, Shasha was sent flying with a kick at the same time. She struggled to get up from the ground, holding her aching waist. Her eyes were red as she looked at the giant man not far away.
"Go …"
The voice that sounded was Smoky's somewhat stiff and weak voice. Her arm was shot, and her lower abdomen was shot. At this time, her body was covered in blood, and she almost didn't have the strength to get up again. Seeing her struggling on the ground, Shasha reached out to wipe the tears on her face, gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not going …"
"Can you leave?"
The muzzle of the gun pointed at the struggling girl on the ground, and a smile appeared on Tank's face. At this time, he was also in a difficult situation. His arm was bleeding, and there were countless places where he was injured by the explosion. His head and face were also bloodstained. However, at this time, the internal injuries were not as serious as they appeared to be. So, he finally caught the two girls.
If he were to go up against Tulip, he would definitely have to leave one hostage alive. After chasing after them for so long, he also knew that Shasha's strength was not very useful. Relatively speaking, she was more suitable as a hostage, so he didn't want to hurt Shasha for now. As for Kaoru Tsukiike, she was learning from Tulip. Just now, the bomb, the knife, and the resistance and counterattacks along the way were all arranged by her. She was definitely a highly dangerous target, and he didn't want to leave her alive. At the very least, he wanted to seriously injure her here.
"I will treat you well, Miss Kaoru Tsukiike." He smiled, and said word by word.
Shasha shouted, "Stay away from her!"
With a bang, the bullet flew past Shasha's ear, and her messy hair flew up. Shasha subconsciously shrunk her neck as if she was scared. Tank laughed, "Do you want to die?
You! "Then, he pointed the gun at Kaoru, who was struggling on the ground.
"I told you to stay away from her!" Shasha shouted again. Tank tilted his head. "What if I say no?"
Another shot pierced through Xun's right arm. The girl, who was struggling to get up, fell to the ground. Her right hand trembled as she placed it on the wound on her lower abdomen. She breathed heavily, but she could no longer get up.
"Let's go …"
The surroundings were silent. Only then did that weak voice slowly resound in the void, echoing. In the air, there was Tank's smile, there was a smoky breath, there was Sha Sha's wide open eyes, and there was a pair of parted lips.
Suddenly, she closed her eyes and screamed, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"Heh, you …" Tank still wanted to say something, but in the next moment, he was stunned again. Shasha raised her blood-red eyes. She held the grenade in her arms and limped towards him slowly and resolutely.
"I told you … stay away from her. Now, we're going to die here …" She sniffled as tears streamed down her face. "We're going to die here …"
The distance between the two of them was only about two meters. If Shasha detonated the grenade, it would be difficult for him to escape, and everyone would really die here. If she hesitated, then he could still avoid it, but … he did not believe that an untrained person would dare to detonate a grenade in his hand. This girl … The thought disappeared in a flash in his mind. Shasha directly pulled the pin of the grenade and rushed toward him.
"F * ck …"
As he retreated, he suddenly turned the muzzle of his gun. At the same time, a black shadow appeared between the two of them. Shasha rushed directly into the man's arms. Her hands were suddenly caught. From behind, it looked like the two of them were hugging each other.
A gunshot rang out, and the tank accurately hit the black shadow that suddenly appeared as it retreated. However, the two figures seemed to have suddenly frozen. They stood there hugging each other and did not move at all. The scene only went from moving to still in an instant, but it seemed like a very long time had passed …
