Chapter 218 Shen Xinglan Is Coming (2/2)
A Miao stiffly sat down and stared at the chessboard.
”You'd better hurry up!” Yu Sihan took a sip of tea. ”They're reaching the second stronghold.”
Shen Xinglan stood still.
”What's wrong?” Le Yi leaned behind him and looked around carefully.
”Do you feel that something's wrong?” Shen Xinglan said calmly with a solemn face.
Ouyang Jin hid behind a palm tree. ”It's too quiet.”
”Look at Ding V.”
Ding V was lying on the front lawn with his muscles tightened and his eyes fixed on the surroundings.
”He's on alert.” Le Yi looked around again. ”Where on earth is the ambush?”
Ding V's instinct was very similar to that of animals. He felt insecure. That was why he was so nervous.
”Lil Xi.” Shen Xinglan touched the headset.
”There was no reaction here,” Lil Xi said, ”maybe they have some techniques to avoid tracking.”
Ouyang Jin turned his head and asked the men behind him, ”Is the thermal reactor responding?”
”No.” One of the bald heads said, ”There is nothing in the detectable range.”
Le Yi squatted down and said, ”It's a little strange. Isn't there a guard in such a big island?”
”Everybody, be careful.” Shen Xinglan clenched the gun in his hand. Even if he knew there was something wrong, he had to move on.
In the villa, A Miao dropped a white piece gently.
”You lost!” Yu Sihan's black piece blocked her only way.
A Miao's face turned pale and she blurted out, ”Don't...”
Unfortunately, it didn't work. A yellow dot on the panel flashed quickly. Then a tree on the screen exploded. It was just the beginning. A Miao could see Shen Xinglan and the other guys dispersing rapidly, and every now and then big and small pits burst out at their feet.
”Shen! Shen?” Lil Xi shouted anxiously on the other side, and the sounds of gunfire and explosion buzzed in his ear.
It was unknown how long after that, and the voice of Shen Xinglan came over. ”I'm fine. Count the number of people and report the injury.”
After a ten-minute blockade, their team had been broken up. It was unknown how many people had been injured, or... died.
”Boss,” Shen I who was in charge of covering behind said immediately, ”there are five minor injuries and two serious injuries whose legs could not move.”
Shen Xinglan calmly ordered. ”Three minor injuries stay and carry the seriously injured back to the entrance, and others continue.”
The cool wind from the sea blew into the villa and made a turn at A Miao's skirt, but she sat stiffly on the sofa in cold sweat.
”Add a dress to Miss A Miao.” Yu Sihan looked at her with some concern. ”If you fall down now, our guests will be gone.”
Song Baohua took a robe, then draped it on A Miao, and changed a cup of hot jujube tea for her.
A Miao took a sip and looked steadfastly at the re-arranged chess pieces on the chess board. ”Let's get started.”
”Come on! I believe you.” The man opposite was smiling innocently, but his eyes looked like a venomous snake. A slight mistake would crush her to pieces...
Two hours later, Shen Xinglan and the others walked half the way. Though they had been attacked five times, they were lucky only to be lightly injured. The most serious one was messily and bloodily blown up, but they were still alive.
”Why don't you go?” Le Yi leaned against the tree breathing heavily and checked Ouyang Jin's condition. ”Are you all right?”
Ouyang Jin's arm was wrapped with gauze. He was scratched by a stone.
”I'm all right.” Ouyang Jin drank a mouthful of water. ”This place is so strange that no one appeared. Where did the dense blocking gun bullets come from?”
Shen Xinglan sat down and said, ”We are being watched.”
”Do you mean that the opposite party has known us since we landed the island?” Le Yi frowned. ”So all the attacks were controlled by the opposite party?”
”He must be looking at us somewhere.” Shen Xinglan raised his head and looked around. ”Think of the base under the sea. Maybe the technology of this island is more advanced than that of the military of Mi country.”
Ding V stared in one direction. ”There it is.”
Shen Xinglan asked, ”Lil Xi, what is it in the direction of nine o'clock?”
Lil Xi was silent for three seconds. ”The biggest building on the island should be a villa with three stories.”
”That's it.” Shen Xinglan stood up abruptly. ”A Miao must be there too.”
In the villa.
”Pa, pa, pa!” Yu Sihan applauded for A Miao. ”Miss A Miao refreshed my impression of you once again. I suggest you go back to study Weiqi. You have talent.”
”Did anyone ever say that your laugh was disgusting?” A Miao was no longer afraid of this person with her heart full of disgust, even hatred.
She watched the bullet pass by Shen Xinglan and watched him fall and rise again and again. And all this was because she could not break the chess games, and the huge psychological pressure made her forget how terrible the person in front of her was. She even wanted to rush to strangle him.
”Yesterday, you praised me for laughing like an angel!” Yu Sihan reclined leisurely on the back of the chair and was obviously different from A Miao's miserable situation. He still looked beautiful and adolescent, and even his hair was not messy.
”Really?” A Miao sneered. ”Then I take it back. You look like a devil whether you laugh or not.”
Yu Sihan made a signal with his lips. ”Miss A Miao, you'd better quiet down and look at the screen carefully. Haven't you found out our guests' change?”
”We've gone two-thirds of the way.” Ouyang Jin looked at the electronic map. ”If the opposite side does not increase the firepower, we will be there before dark.”
”No!” Shen Xinglan disagreed. ”We should slow down, the slower the better.”
