Hunter in the Darkness
Bang!
A gunshot rang out as Xia Lei pulled Annina to the ground
The bullet shaved past Xia Lei’s shoulder and hit the grass, sending up a spray of leaves and dirt
The person who’d fired the shot was the leader of the group whose face Xia Lei had kicked and the other four were also people who Xia Lei had beaten up last night Two of thees; they’d been hit with a brick
Josef was alarhtened and fled in the direction of his house
Bang, bang, bang! One of the motorcycle riders fired three shots at Josef’s back
Josef fell to the ground, his white shi+rt stained red in an instant
Xia Lei did not hesitate - he gathered Annina in his arained her wits only after they entered the woods and her face was drained of colour
“Go after them!” roared the leader, “Kill them!”
Xia Lei pulled a terrified Annina deeper into the woods
Five gangin the direction Xia Lei and Annina had fled in, firing their guns as they chased
“They’ll kill us!” cried Annina as she ran, “We’re dead this tiht, “Shush They’ll find us”
Annina shut up Her brain could not think normally anymore and she allowed Xia Lei to pull her deeper into the woods
The woods were shrouded in darkness and ht could not penetrate the dense canopy to illuave Xia Lei a chances to shake his pursuers off his trail since he could see what he needed to see in the dark thanks to his left eye
Xia Lei ran, looking back occasionally and changing his route several tied Annina towards her own hothe whole place quickly so hiding in the woods was a definitely a stupid decision to un in your hoht of Annina’s houn!” said Annina nervously
Xia Lei let go of her hand and looked back He could see the five gang ether, each spread out tento each other as they searched the woods
Seven to eight minutes had passed since Josef was shot The residents of the toould definitely call the police upon hearing gunshots but this town had no police station and the city police needed at least thirtyo after Annina and hiht the hunting gun out and placed it and some aun and looked it over, then pointed it at the woods
“Have you fired a gun before?” asked Annina worriedly
Xia Lei shook his head, “Never”
“What?” exclaiun for? Let’s escape on the uys have motorcycles too They’ll easily catch up to us if we try to escape that way They’re all armed too We’re dead if they catch up to us,” said Xia Lei
“But… You don’t kno to shoot I’ve done so but I haven’t ever killed so much as a rabbit, much less a human What do we do?” Annina was apprehensive
Xia Lei put the gun back in Annina’s hands, “You’re going to shoot”
“Me?” Annina’s jaw dropped She could not believe that this was Xia Lei’s idea
“My sense of sight and hearing are very good I’ll tell you which direction to shoot and you shoot, all right?” said Xia Lei
Annina shook her head, a look of despair on her face, “No, that’s a terrible idea”
Xia Lei put his hands on her shoulders, “You’ve already guessed that it was ht?”
Annina nodded
