Chapter 40 I Don't Want to Die
"Lower your head!"
The bullet penetrated the windshield, grazed Wen Nianchu's hair, and embedded itself into the seat.
She quickly curled up and rolled under the seat.
"Damn it! Which grandson leaked the secret!" Mang Ge suddenly pulled out a pistol from under the seat, and the next second, a dense barrage of bullets shattered the car window, forcing him to curl up inside. Wen Nianchu saw this scene and instinctively reached under his seat.
hateful!
Empty.
"One car is only equipped with one gun," Mang Ge gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger, "Get the hell down!"
The blind return fire sent several flashes of fire into the darkness, but it also completely exposed his position. Wen Nianchu heard the dull thud of bullets tearing through flesh, and warm liquid splashed on her cheek.
Mang Ge covered his shoulder that was grazed by the bullet and whispered, "No more bullets."
Wen Nianchu lowered his head, his brain working rapidly.
Impossible! The cardboard box in the trunk is empty. It's clearly just a show. How could someone come to intercept them? These aren't Gu Mingyue's people, nor are they Mo Ruyan's people. So who is behind these people?
Outside the car window, footsteps are gradually approaching.
After the hearing buff was added on the system panel, the footsteps of these people were amplified several times in her ears. Based on the movement positions of the gray NPC dots on the floor plan, Wen Nianchu knew the exact location of these people.
This is her only chance.
Wen Nianchu's eyes sharpened and he seized the fleeting opportunity.
She leaped up almost instinctively, throwing the thermos cup beside her as a weapon, accurately hitting her target—
Outside the broken car window, the gunman's head.
After a muffled groan, Wen Nianchu rushed out like a cheetah, not even noticing the glass shards scratching her skirt.
The attacker obviously did not expect that this seemingly weak girl would take the initiative to attack.
The gunman who was closest and was hit by the thermos felt so much pain that he saw black eyes and touched the blood flowing from his head with his other hand in a daze.
Wen Nianchu seized the opportunity, rushed directly in front of him, raised his leg and kicked him, hitting his wrist which was tightly holding the gun.
The pistol fell to the ground.
She sprayed out the pepper spray that she had been holding in her hand, and elbowed the man in the throat the moment he closed his eyes.
Then, when the enemy bends over, strike him in the face with your knee.
The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, and the gunman collapsed to the ground without even a grunt.
"Damn, where does this girl come from?"
Brother Mang looked at the scene in amazement.
Wen Nianchu ignored her and quickly picked up the pistol on the ground. There was a mark on the pistol.
It is the icon of the imperial era.
When she entered the Imperial Era, she had seen this mark at the place where Mo Ruyan invited her to talk.
A scorpion symbol.
Is this Mo Ruyan's person, or Bai Yiqiu's person?
What were they trying to do? Just testing her loyalty to the emperor, wouldn't that require such a big show?
In the moment she hesitated, another gunman had already aimed at her.
She raised her eyes and was about to roll sideways to avoid it, but suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her chest, stopping her from taking any further action.
[The host has been detected to be exercising vigorously. The system will impose a congenital heart disease penalty on the host. The host will soon receive an electric shock.]
It hurts.
Her fingers lost strength in an instant, and the pistol she had just snatched fell to the ground with a bang.
Wen Nianchu also staggered and knelt on the ground, her left hand tightly grasping the ground.
The ground is very hot.
Even after it rained, the high temperature did not drop.
Her heart felt like it was about to explode at this moment, and the extremely painful and suffocating feeling was surging towards her.
Dog system, it’s cheating me!
On the opposite side, the gunman aiming at Wen Nianchu was obviously stunned for a moment by her strange behavior, and then adjusted his aiming posture with a sneer.
The black muzzle of the gun was locked on her trembling figure.
Wen Nianchu only felt that his vision began to darken, and the only sound in his ears was his own uncontrolled heartbeat.
Boom, boom, boom.
Each blow felt like someone was swinging a sledgehammer in my chest.
Cold sweat slid into my eyes, stinging them painfully.
She won’t die just like that, will she die earlier than in her previous life?
Wen Nianchu watched helplessly as the gunman's index finger slowly pulled the trigger, the shadow of death looming from above.
She doesn't want to die!
So, the dying Wen Nianchu began to burst out with the will to survive. She endured the severe pain and trembled as she picked up the gun that fell beside her.
When her fingertips touched the gun beside her, she knew it was too late.
In this moment of life and death——
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and the gunman stumbled violently, his right leg splattering with blood. Wen Nianchu suddenly raised his head, his gaze passing over the chaotic scene and looking straight into the distance.
On the iron bridge, a tall, dark figure stood still in the wind. The man wore a black mask, and a faint smoke still drifted from the muzzle of the sniper rifle in his hand.
He tilted his head slightly, as if to confirm whether the target had fallen.
Judging from his figure, he actually looks a bit like Xie Yue.
Wen Nianchu's sight immediately locked onto the other person's wrist——
The long sleeves completely covered all skin.
No watch in sight.
“Isn’t it hot…?”
She muttered to herself, her voice hoarse and uncharacteristic of herself.
The echo of the gunshots was still vibrating in the air, but the group of black-clad gunmen suddenly put away their guns, got into the car in a well-trained manner, and drove away with a cloud of dust.
Wen Nianchu leaned against the rotten car door, his chest heaving violently.
She looked at the cars disappearing into the distance, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
They were fighting for their lives one second, but the next second the other side retreated collectively as if they had received some order.
"Fuck..." Brother Mang crawled out from behind, blood and sweat dripping down his shoulders.
He was about to say something when the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated wildly.
Brother Mang took out his cell phone, and the words "Sister Mo" jumped glaringly on the screen.
He wiped the sweat off his face and pressed the answer button:
"Hello, Sister Mo?"
"The test passed." Mo Ruyan's voice on the other end of the phone was a bit lazy, with cheerful music playing in the background. "Good performance."
Brother Mang was stunned for a moment, then he looked around with wide eyes.
The tracks of the "enemy" retreat are still clearly visible.
"Wait, Sister Mo, are you talking about those..."
"I arranged it." Mo Ruyan chuckled, "Why, are you scared?"
Mang Ge's expression instantly became interesting.
He turned to look at Wen Nianchu and found that he was staring at him thoughtfully.
"Sister Mo, you're too..." He lowered his voice, "At least tell me in advance! I almost peed my pants!"
Mo Ruyan's joyful laughter came from the other end of the phone:
"Is it still called a test if I told you in advance? Don't worry, I'll have someone treat your injuries."
Brother Mang hung up the phone and walked towards Wen Nianchu with a complicated expression.
He scratched his head, not knowing how to start.
"So," Wen Nianchu spoke first, his voice eerily calm, "were those people just now arranged by Sister Mo?"
She had discovered it a long time ago, but now decided to pretend it was the best option.
Mangge nodded awkwardly: "Uh...test."
Wen Nianchu smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
She had underestimated people's hearts after all. How could someone with a soft heart hold that position?
No wonder there wasn't even the most basic security check when entering the villa.
It turned out that it was not negligence, but a killing plan had been set up long ago.
Use killing her as bait to lure Gu Mingyue and the others into the trap.
What a good plan.
Suddenly, the sound of an engine was heard in the distance.
Under the scorching sun, a white car drove up in front of the two people.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a gentle face wearing gold-rimmed glasses:
"Get in the car, both of you."
