Chapter 599 Surrounded Alone

After all, Ban Gou was one of the few men sent by Li Shiyan, and these junior officers still had to listen to General Li to some extent. Now that Cong Ran was dead, General Dawa only had Li Shiyan left who could speak to him.

Moreover, General Dawa has no children, so Li Shiyan is very likely to inherit Dawa's mantle in the future!

"General Li said that we should capture Wen Ni alive, spare her life, and kill the rest of them," Ban Gou said in a calm tone.

"good."

After pondering for a while, the brigade commander turned around and got out of the car.

Driven by a bloodlust, Wen Ni continued forward, but she noticed that the Burmese soldiers were avoiding her. Even when they came to meet her, they didn't aim for her vital points.

She sensed something was wrong, stopped in her tracks, and subconsciously turned around, only to see that Liang He, Qin Yuan, and the others who had been covering for her were surrounded by Burmese soldiers!

"What are you trying to do? What are you trying to do?!"

Wen Ni's eyes were practically bleeding from staring.

She suddenly bent down, grabbed a gun that had fallen to the ground, and, in a frenzy, charged back at them!

A year ago, Wen Ni never imagined that war would be so close to her, let alone that she would one day stand on the battlefield and rush to the front line!

So this is what war is like. Her vision was blurred with blood mist, and the sky was so gloomy it seemed to be covered in smog, blocking out the sun.

She wanted to kill these enemies and save her people, but there were too many enemies, and she couldn't kill them all...

The Burmese soldiers surrounding Liang He and Qin Yuan cocked their guns.

Countless bullets were fired at them.

The Chinese soldiers on the perimeter fell to the ground in response!

"Stop! Stop!!!"

Wen Ni screamed in anguish.

But no one paid any attention to her, and the bullets continued to fly.

In a moment of desperation, Wen Ni suddenly realized what was happening. She abruptly raised the gun and pointed it at her own head!

"Stop! Madara! If you don't stop, I'll die right here in front of you!"

On the Burmese command vehicle, the man high above raised his arm as if bestowing a favor.

The Burmese soldiers who had been firing finally stopped.

They held their guns but didn't pull the trigger again!

Inside the encirclement, the few remaining Chinese soldiers were all wounded. Qin Yuan and Liang He were also bleeding, kneeling on one knee, barely alive.

Ban Gou lowered his eyes and looked at Wen Ni.

"Wen Ni, don't overestimate your worth. You think you can threaten me with your life? Let me tell you, it's useless. General Li said that if we can't capture him alive, we can take the dead back!"

“Li Shiyan wants to arrest me simply to use me to threaten and torture Lu Jinye, so that he can achieve his goal of taking revenge on the Lu family!” Wen Ni held up her gun and stepped closer to the command vehicle, her eyes fixed on it. “Obviously, I am far more valuable alive than dead, aren’t I? As long as you spare their lives, I can go with you!”

"oh?"

Ban Gou looked at her suspiciously, then glanced at the fewer than 20 living Chinese soldiers in the encirclement.

Wen Ni was already walking towards them, gun in hand. A soldier tried to grab her, but she defensively stepped back, her finger remaining on the trigger.

Ban Gou finally got out of the car and walked up to Wen Ni.

"Will you give in so easily?"

"My brothers and comrades are now trapped by you. What can I do if I don't give in?"

“Very good. You Chinese always say that those who know when to yield are the heroes. I’m very happy that you made this decision! It also reduces unnecessary trouble.” Ban Gou raised his eyelids slightly.

"Can we release them now?" Wen Ni asked.

"We can't release them, but we can spare a few of their lives and take them back with us. Then we'll see how well you please General Li and keep him in a good mood; perhaps then you can spare their lives!" Ban Gou said, waving his hand to signal his soldiers to seize Wen Ni. "Don't forget, the loser has no right to negotiate. This is already the biggest concession I've made out of consideration for our past relationship!"

Wen Ni lowered her eyes in a somber mood and remained silent.

She allowed the Burmese soldiers to come over and remove her gun, then handcuffed her hands behind her back and escorted her forward in a humiliating, prisoner-like posture.

Just as she was about to pass by Ban Gou, Wen Ni's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. She swiftly shook off the Burmese soldier's grip. With another nimble turn, she gripped Ban Gou's neck and shoulders tightly, the muzzle of her gun pressed against his forehead!

Everyone was stunned.

They never expected that this Chinese woman, this Chinese woman covered in wounds and exhausted, would have such a trick up her sleeve!

“I warn you, do not make any rash moves! Otherwise I will kill him,” Wen Ni said.

"I knew you wouldn't give in so easily." Ban Gou sneered, showing no fear. "But Wen Ni, do you think you can leave safely just by restraining me? This place is swarming with Burmese soldiers. You won't get away alive so easily!"

"Who said I was going to leave alive?" Wen Ni sneered. She lowered her head and buried it behind Ban Gou's back, pressing her body close to the bulletproof command vehicle to prevent others from finding a blind spot to shoot. She said in a gloomy tone, "I want you to let them go!"

"Release them? Just release them?" Ban Gou raised an eyebrow in surprise, then said after a moment, "Yes, of course!"

At the commander's order, the dark mass of Burmese soldiers parted to make way for them.

Qin Yuan and Liang He, trembling and supporting each other, led a group of wounded soldiers toward the outer perimeter.

They looked in Wen Ni's direction, their eyes filled with unspeakable grief!

They watched as Qin Yuan and Liang He walked out of the encirclement.

Ban Gou then said, "Is that enough? Put the gun down."

"No, don't think I don't know you'll back out. I want to see them with my own eyes, until they're out of my sight!" Wen Ni said sullenly.

"Sure, no problem." Ban Gou was quite patient. "And what about you, Wen Ni? Have you thought about what you would do?"

"It's worth it to trade my life for theirs." Wen Ni pressed the gun barrel harder against Ban Gou's head, her tone exceptionally calm and collected!

"What a laughable answer. Look at you Chinese, so incredibly stupid!" Ban Gou laughed sarcastically. "That's why I hate you the most, so hypocritical, so incredibly hypocritical!"

"Unfortunately, you will ultimately be defeated by us so-called foolish Chinese." Wen Ni's tone was ruthless. "And you, you will also die at the hands of the Chinese you despise!"

"No, Wen Ni." Ban Gou's eyes darkened.

Wen Ni ignored him. She turned her head and saw Qin Yuan and the others disappear into the twilight and dawn. Her heart, which had been pounding, suddenly relaxed!

It also seemed that they noticed Wen Ni's brief relaxation.

Suddenly, Ban Gou gave a signal, and the Burmese soldiers hiding in the corner to the side rushed over and grabbed Wen Ni's hand that was holding the gun!

In the struggle, the trigger was pulled.

But it didn't produce the expected gunshot sound!

It was an empty gun!

Ban Gou stared blankly at Wen Ni, his emotions a jumble of thoughts. "You actually used an empty gun to scare and threaten me, making me let them go?! Wen Ni, are you really not afraid of death?"

"I told you, I never intended to leave alive." Wen Ni smirked, then with a backhand slash, killed the soldier who had tried to wrestle her empty gun!

She leaned against the armored vehicle, gripped her dagger tightly again, and glared fiercely at them, at the thousands of Burmese soldiers before her.

"Kill me."

"What?"

"If you don't kill me, then I'll kill you all. Before I die, I'll kill as many as I can!" Wen Ni laughed wildly, her laughter utterly arrogant.
