The person on the other end of the receiver did not answer him, and continuous gunshots followed. Before they could reach the town exit, the army corps chasing after them had surrounded them with a circle of snipers. Seeing as how dire the situation had become, Mu Feichi frowned and shouted at Yun Xi on the other end of the receiver, “Yun Xi, get out of here without us!”

“Lie Huo, find a getaway car. Cheng, find a hiding spot and get rid of their low-altitude missiles. Niao, cover us!”

“Roger that!”

The enemy troops were closing in on them. Meanwhile, Lie Huo had found a car at the exit. He took out a gravity knife and inserted it straight into the lead wire and started the engine. Watching the car roar to life, he swiveled it around, ready to head back to offer backup.

As soon as the car started to turn, a dark green figure launched itself from the side alley and jumped right into the passenger seat.

“Yun Xi?” Lie Huo looked at the little girl oozing with a murderous aura in the passenger seat and did not dare waste a minute longer. Turning the steering wheel, he drove the car right into the street being blasted with artillery fire.

The tinkling bullets hit the frame of the car head-on. Yun Xi looked at the figures in front of them searching for cover, and she turned her head around and shouted at Lie Huo, “Keep driving forward, I’ll cover you!”

She kicked the car door open, then grabbing the seat belt with one hand, she rested the gun against the car door frame. With half of her body hanging out of the car, she fired away at the army corps outside with the speed of light. The oncoming bullets missed her by barely an inch, but, at that moment, she could not have cared less. There was only one thing on her mind, and that was to do her best to get Mu Feichi out of that circle of snipers.

Several team members had reported through the earpiece that they were out of bullets, and, without any functional weapons on them, they were as good as dead.

“Watch out!” Looking at a low-altitude missile coming in, Yun Xi yanked herself back into the passenger seat. Lie Huo reacted instantly and hit the brakes. He turned the steering wheel and crashed right into a utility pole on the other side of the street. The missile brushed past the car door and finally plunged into a house not far away. The huge explosion that followed left a deafening buzz in their ears.

Stepping out of the car, Yun Xi maintained her murderous aura as she stomped over the corpses on the ground with two guns in her hands, running quickly toward the corner where Mu Feichi had taken cover.

“Mu Feichi, over here!” Raising her hand, she threw the guns and bullets she had raided from a nearby enemy soldier whom she had murdered in cold blood. She leaned her back against the wall and looked anxiously at the man in front of her with watchful eyes while panting softly. “How are you? Are you all right?”

“I’m fine!” Mu Feichi closed his eyes, feeling slightly overwhelmed with distress. “Didn’t I tell you to leave? What are you doing back here?”

Without any backup left, they had no idea if they could even get out alive.

“You’d never abandon me, and neither will I ever abandon you. A soldier knows only how to fight and die on the battlefield for the country. I’d rather be where you are even if that means being on the battlefield.”

Leaning over, she ravaged his lips fiercely. “Your life belongs to me. Even if you had to die, you can only die by my hands. If you let these b*stards kill you here, then I’m taking your position as the Young Commander!”

“Rest assured, my people are yours and so is my life. No one can ever take that away from you.”

He lifted his arms and fiercely pulled her into his embrace, and for a moment, he had the notion that with her as his companion on a battlefield full of bullets, death was nothing to fear.

Yun Xi lifted up his wrist and looked at the time on his watch. “San Qing and the others should be here soon, we just need to wait for them…”

Before she could finish her sentence, the chopping sound of helicopters suddenly came from the gloomy sky, following it with incessant gunshots and explosions.

Yun Xi looked up at numerous helicopters hovering above her head. The helicopters were hovering at a safe distance, while the soldiers in the helicopters aimed their guns and grenades at the tanks and troops of the independent army corps.
