Chapter 305 (2/2)

“Copy that!”

Licking his lips, Wolf Head replied and immediately left with the other eleven men.

Tang Xiu stepped on the boulder and quickly chased downwards. He moved fast and as smooth as usual. Within just two minutes, he had caught up hundreds of meters behind the fleeing opposite party. Without being discovered by them, he then went into hiding.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

A series of gunshots were heard as several pirates in the forefront fell to the ground one after another. Two submachine guns’ licking flames were as though harvesters that claimed the lives of the pirates in the forefront as though they were wheat. As for Ingelund who was in the forefront, were it not because of his fast reaction to instantly grab a pirate near him to block the line of bullets, he would have also been shot dead.

“SCATTER AND STRIKE BACK!”

Ingelund pushed the pirate’s sieved dead body and retreated into the bushes nearby like a cheetah. After rolling for several times and positioning himself there, he aimed the muzzle of his submachine gun at the direction of the shots.

“Bang, bang…”

As the dark muzzled aimed to the front and the trigger was pulled, bullets sprayed as though a torrential downpouring. Branches were sent flying and rocks were scattered around. Yet, the sound of gunshots had stopped and the two enemy men had already left that position.

Right at this moment, the other pirates who were carrying guns also began to counterattack toward the direction where the gunshots started. After half a minute of shooting, some people even had changed to their second magazine.

“STOP FIRING AND SAVE YOUR AMMO!” Ingelund growled.

Immediately, the pirates no longer fired, but they still hid in the surrounding thicket, looking for the enemies through the slit of branches and leaves. Unfortunately, no matter how they looked for them, they couldn’t any of their traces.

This waiting game was exceptionally terrible!

Intense fear engulfed the heart of every pirate, for they couldn’t even see a shadow of the enemies who had ruthlessly shot dozens of their brothers. Looking through the branches and leaves at those who had fallen in a pool of blood, their hearts fell into the abyss.

“S-second Chief, what should we do?”

Armed with a sniper rifle, Hutu had been observing for quite a long time through his sniper scope, yet he couldn’t find even a trace of the enemies. He carefully turned back and asked Ingelund who was a few meters away from him.

With coldness suffused in his eyes, Ingelund shook his head and looked at the back. He then spoke in a heavy voice, “Tell someone to use those civilians to block the guns, making them our human shields. If those bastards hiding in the dark were to open fire, let them kill those civilians first!”

Quickly, seven or eight pirates crawled up from the thicket and quickly came in front of the ten civilians who were lying on the ground. After beating them for a while, they picked them up from the ground and pushed their backs.

“Take the lead!”

The ten civilians, six of whom were men and four were rather pretty women were forced to help the pirates to carry the food and medicines.

At this moment, they looked deathly pale with frightened expressions. Two quite timid women even had their legs trembling.

“P-please, I beg you. Don’t kill us.”

A tall and big man suddenly wept like a little girl out of fright. His legs were trembling, lips shivering, and there even was a watermark in his crotch.

“You fucking asshole. You got scared and peed yourself?”

The pirate behind him who just smelt his pee smashed the tall man’s head fiercely, causing the badly beaten man to straightly fall to the ground.

After that, he then grabbed the man again, pushing his gun against him to make the man lead the way in front.

“Tak…”

A stone suddenly came shooting from the distant thicket and accurately hit that pirate’s temple. A bloody was hole created, directly killing him.

Quickly, the leaves and branches of that thicket swayed as a man’s silhouette flashed.

Down the middle of the pirates, Ingelund, who found that another man was killed, wasn’t startled as he shouted loudly, “All you lot be alerted! Be careful not to be caught in a sneak attack by the enemy again. If those bastards dare to attack again and kill one of our brothers, just kill one civilian.”

“Bang…”

A gunshot sounded as the badly beaten man’s head was shot in the head by Ingelund and died on the spot.

Hopelessness and despair filled the hearts of the other nine civilians upon hearing Ingelund’s words. They knew they were as good as dead. This place was a battlefield and not under the rule and law of the society. In this hellish place, a human could die at anytime.

Hiding amid the thicket, Tang Xiu’s eyelids slanted after hearing it, the murderous intent inside him getting thicker. He just identified Ingelund. It was the man who shot and killed the Bloodfish Pirates’ leader—Duffsky, the second leader of the Bloodfish Pirates… Ingelund.

_‘This bastard is ruthless and merciless; he must be the first one to be killed. The other pirate members will collapse at once without their leaders. However, the problem is the remaining nine civilians over there.’_

Tang Xiu thought for a moment and faintly felt that the situation was somewhat tricky.
