Opening her eyes, she saw Gu Jinglian’s head resting lightly on her shoulder. His warm breath brushed against her cheek. For a moment, she felt as if she was inhaling every breath that he exhaled.
His breath seemed to be slightly hot, and she felt herself flush. She subconsciously pushed him, but his body remained firm. He held her so tightly that she felt like she was his most precious treasure.
Chu He’s expression became increasingly unnatural. She saw that Gu Jinglian’s breathing was heavy. It was probably because he had been too tired these past few days that he now had fallen into a deep sleep.
She did not know when he had fallen asleep, so she could not bear to wake him up.
Chu He closed her eyes, intending to rest for a while longer, until a shocking explosion came from the cave entrance. The sound was deafening and caused her ears to ring. Gu Jinglian also woke up instantly.
He looked up and heard a soft rustling sound coming from the cave entrance. “Someone’s coming.”
Chu He reacted and stood up immediately. She picked up the submachine gun from the ground and crawled to the corner. Gu Jinglian hid at the entrance of the cave, vigilantly holding his breath. However, the soft rustling sound outside the cave suddenly faded away. They did not seem to have discovered the cave entrance covered by the bushes.
Immediately after, they heard the rumbling sound of tanks pa.s.sing by outside the cave.
Chu He carefully walked to the entrance of the cave and pushed aside the bushes. She looked outside and saw several helicopters hovering in the sky above the coconut tree forest. There was a thick fog and visibility was extremely low. The huge leaves overhead were flapping.
“We should go.” Gu Jinglian said, “Let’s go now.”
Chu He nodded.
Gu Jinglian asked nervously, “Are you able to walk by yourself?”
“Yes, I’m fine!”
With a few hours of sleep, the pain from the wound had eased. She walked over and lifted her combat pack over her back while Gu Jinglian woke Linxi up and handed him a gun.
After leaving this place, they might be ambushed by the rebel army at any moment. He wouldn’t be able to carry the boy. All he could do was to cover him as best as possible.
However, even though he was a child, under such circ.u.mstances, he still needed to carry a weapon with him.
Linxi said, “It’s okay. I know how to use a gun.” Growing up in such an environment, he had learnt how to use firearms to protect himself.
Gu Jinglian gave him a few more magazines and Linxi kept them close. The three of them left the cave and just as they walked out of the cave, the loud sound became clearer. There was a hail of bullets in front of them.
Gu Jinglian protected Linxi while Chu He followed behind him. One of them charged forward while the other had his back facing Gu Jinglian as he observed the situation behind. The three of them ran wildly in the rain of bullets.
The noise was accompanied by the sounds of the AK gun firing.
Gu Jinglian gave the only helmet he had to Linxi. There were three heavy rounds of bullets slung around his shoulders and three guns strapped to his back. He held the heavy Gatling gun with both hands as he ran at the front to open up a path, his pace unhurried.
He turned around and looked at the distance before shouting, “Fire.”
Behind, Chu He raised the semi-automatic in her hand and took aim. A soldier suddenly appeared in front of her.. With two bangs, she shot him right in the head.
