Chapter 746 - The Story of Ling and Heng (9) (2/2)
After about ten minutes, he vaguely heard a few gunshots, then silence, and then the rustling of leaves. He opened his eyes slowly and a little feebly, and saw, in a blur of blood, the tall, thin boy coming back and standing in front of him in his black muddy and bloody boots.
“Did you get hurt in an ambush?” asked Feng Ling.
Seeing her come back, the man on the ground immediately answered, “Yes.”
“Your gun is good. Give it to me.” She was not asking him, for she had already solved several gangsters who had set up the ambush, and she thought it was the reward and price he should pay.
The man on the ground understood her meaning. Her request was not unreasonable, but he couldn’t break the rule of XI Base. He frowned and looked up at her.
“You can keep my gun if you want it, but there’s a rule in our place that no one who isn’t a member of us can use our gun. Otherwise, if I’ll go back here empty-handed, I’ll also die because I broke the rule. Then your efforts will go vain.”
Feng Ling didn’t quite understand his words, but she looked at the bloodstains his body and asked, “Can you walk?”
The man on the ground nodded. “I’m fine. I can’t die. I just lost a lot of blood and won’t have any problem after resting for a few hours.”
Feng Ling looked at him again coldly. She did not recognize the mark engraved on the butt of the gun in her hand but only knew that this gun was the handiest one she had ever used in her life. She wondered where ‘their place’ the man had just said about was.
This big city was not suitable for her to survive, and she, a normal person, couldn’t really go back to live in the jungle.
It would be better to see the place he said on the ground that she had saved him.
Feng Ling looked at the man on the ground and asked flatly, “What’s your name?”
“My name is K.” The man on the ground swallowed the blood in his mouth, raised his head with difficulty to look at the boy with clear, cold eyes, and gave him a grateful smile. “What about you? What’s your name?”
“Feng Ling.”

When she was brought into the XI Base by K, at first, she felt that this place looked like an important hidden military training base, but K took her to the base through the back door, so she didn’t see the XI Base sign at the front door.
When she was formally taken in, she found from the conversation between K and the others that this place was that damn XI Base whose boss was Li Nanheng, and she really regretted it.
She intended to leave directly, but K invited her to stay sincerely, offered to introduce her to their boss, and kept praising her martial skills to the other men. A lot of men were looking at her curiously. She could see that these men all had very good martial skills. With the skills she had learned, she had no chance to escape.
She might be able to enter XI Base aboveboard, but without a decent reason, she wouldn’t be able to escape from here.
“Hey, our boss came back!” At this time, K suddenly patted her on the arm.
Feng Ling turned her head and looked in the direction indicated by K. The tall black Hummers that she had successfully avoided six months ago were coming in this direction…
