Chapter 10 Part4 (2/2)
”Li! Don't… stand there like that! He…” Li Gaolei supported his body with difficulty and reached out his arm towards Li's leg to pull her back. Even though the wound on his back wasn't life threatening, it temporarily deprived him of his ability to move. Li Gaolei grabbed Li's leg, but he couldn't move her at all.
Li stood there in the s.p.a.cious wilderness. She was the biggest target, yet she simply stood there!
”It seems like today's luck really isn't that good…” Su silently thought. His slender fingers added two more bullets into the bullet chain and once again pushed it into the gun barrel.
Li felt as if the sky was spinning. The sound of the wind and the vehicle's engine noises had all vanished. Instead, she heard an endless amount of sounds that were difficult to draw meaning from, and they were rumbling towards her!
Why did her subordinates have to die?!
Why did she have to die?!
Why?!
Li never feared death. She simply didn't understand.
Li raised her leg and struggled free from Li Gaolei's grip. She then took large steps towards the direction where the bullets came from. She brought out that eye-catching modified pistol from her back and fired six rounds in front of her. The tremendous gunshots seemed to even suppress the power of the anti-aircraft machine gun!
”Su! If you are a man, then get out here!” Li's penetrating voice rang through the air. She added another six rounds to the pistol, and when she raised her hand, another six shots were randomly fired. This pistol couldn't aim past 50 meters. Li was just randomly shooting in front of her.
”Come out!!” Li's voice was already a bit hoa.r.s.e. The enormous gunshot sounds couldn't suppress her hollering at all.
Su held the anti-aircraft machine gun while calmly leaning against the half broken wall. He obviously wouldn't stay in the position where he had just shot from. The gap of several seconds already left him with enough time to travel quite far and get to another firing location. With a xiu sound, a bullet suddenly flew over, pa.s.sing above the wall. It seemed to have pa.s.sed right above Su's head!
Li had finished firing three sets of bullets.
Firing three sets consecutively seemed to have completely exhausted Li's body. She stood just like that within the ruins. Her sweat completely soaking through her short maroon-colored hair, sticking firmly to her glossy and graceful forehead. Firing those fruitless shots seemed to have deprived her of all her energy.
Li found one final bullet in her pocket, and a coin rubbed harshly against her fingers. She brought out this coin and slowly loaded the bullet to the gun.
”Li!” Li Gaolei had already struggled to his feet, but his legs were weak and, making him too slow to hurry over. However, the truth was, whether he was quick enough or not, it made no difference. After such a long time had pa.s.sed, and under a distance like this, if Su took action, it was equivalent to Li's death.
With a light ringing sound, a coin was flicked up into the sky. A thread of sunlight seeped through the clouds, illuminating this dancing coin and bringing forth a flash of brilliant light. Just before the coin reached its highest point, a huge gunshot rang throughout these ruins. The gunshot shattered this beautiful illusion, and also shattered the gently spinning coin.
Li's shot was exceptionally accurate.
The off-road vehicle started up again. It turned around and slowly headed towards Pendulum City.
Li sat perfectly straight while staring forward. She drove the off-road vehicle straight. Her hands that were holding the steering wheel were deathly pale. Li Gaolei reclined on the back of the chair. His clothes had been torn into strips to temporarily wrap up the wound on his back. His jeans were damaged to quite an extent as well, revealing his clearly distinct muscles and dense leg hair. Li Gaolei continuously smoked, using the smoke to ease his body's soreness.
”Why?!” Li suddenly asked this without thinking. When she spoke, Li Gaolei saw that her lips were drenched with blood.
”He… might have needed some supplies. Maybe he needed some things that only we had, things that couldn't be obtained in other places like the anti-aircraft machine gun. Guns are mercenaries' second life. … Look, the effectiveness of that anti-aircraft machine gun is much more effective than that tattered gun he had before.” Li Gaolei looked at the scenery that continuously pa.s.sed by outside the window and casually said.
Li remained silent. The speed of the car was not fast, nor was it slow.
Li Gaolei suddenly felt as if the cigarette in his mouth was particularly bitter, and so he casually ended the cigarette that still had most of its body remaining. The burning cigarette tip slowly died against Li Gaolei's muscular thigh.
A wooden stick was inserted into the ground at the center of the ruins, and on top of the stick was that modified pistol.
Two bullets roared. One fired through the wooden stick, and the other hit the modified rifle, blasting it into countless pieces of metal parts.
”This time's luck…”
Su didn't look at the results of those two gunshots. He carried the anti-aircraft machine gun while standing alone in the ruins.
