The battlefield was thick with smoke, the pungent smell of gunpowder mixed with the stench of blood, nearly suffocating. Shouts and the crackle of gunfire mingled like a deathly melody, jarring the eardrums. Members of a mysterious organization poured in from all directions, clad in uniform black combat uniforms and ferocious gas masks, revealing only pairs of eyes gleaming with ferocity and madness. Their weapons flashed an icy light as they madly fired at Jiang Zhi, Shen Qingchen, and their companions.
Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen stood back to back, their guns spitting flames. Every pull of the trigger was accompanied by the enemy's screams and falls. But the enemy was endless, their bullets seemed endless, and the firepower network was getting closer and closer. The situation was extremely critical.
Shen Qingchen's thick brows furrowed, his deep eyes gleaming with determination and resolve. He stood tall and straight, like a pine tree, his movements unfazed despite the hail of bullets. He held his assault rifle steady, accurately sniping at the approaching enemies, each bullet carrying his resolve to defend his family and destroy evil. He would occasionally glance sideways at Jiang Zhi behind him, calling out, "Zhi'er, don't panic! We can get out of this!" His voice, resolute and powerful amid the clamor of the battlefield, like a mighty bell, piercing the clamor and reaching Jiang Zhi's ears, offering her strength and reassurance.
Jiang Zhi bit her lower lip so hard her teeth nearly dug into it. Her fair face, splattered with the enemy's blood, only added a touch of poignant beauty and chilling intensity. Her nimble figure, like a swift streak of black lightning, weaved through the hail of bullets, dodging and counterattacking. She fired her twin pistols with uncanny accuracy, each shot hitting the enemy's vital points. She knew they were in dire straits, but she showed no fear. The fire of revenge burned fiercely in her chest, fueling her tenacious resistance.
However, as the battle dragged on, their comrades fell one after another, their screams like sharp arrows, piercing Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen's hearts. Blood gathered in streams on the ground, slowly flowing, staining the battlefield a tragic dark red. The enemy's encirclement shrank, leaving them with little room to maneuver.
Suddenly, a bullet whizzed by like a ghost, grazed Jiang Zhi's cheek, and left a trail of blood. Seeing this, Shen Qingchen's pupils suddenly shrank, his heart suddenly tightened, and he exclaimed, "Zhi'er!" Without thinking, he turned around and protected Jiang Zhi tightly behind him, firing wildly with the gun in his hand, trying to use his body to build a solid line of defense for Jiang Zhi, blocking any danger that might hurt her.
Jiang Zhi felt warm in her heart, and her eyes were slightly red, but she could not bear too much emotion at this moment. She quickly flashed from behind Shen Qingchen, and continued to aim at the enemy with the gun in her hand and shoot, while shouting loudly: "Qingchen, we can't sit and wait for death, we have to find a way to break through!"
Shen Qingchen nodded slightly, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, trying to find the weak point of the enemy's encirclement. At this moment, he found that the enemy's firepower on the right was slightly sparse. It seemed that this was because the terrain there was more complicated, with several piles of ruins and sandbags, which affected their offensive rhythm.
"Child, charge to the right!" Shen Qingchen shouted, and then threw several grenades at the enemies on the right. The grenades drew several arcs in the air and landed accurately in the enemy group, exploding instantly. Flames shot up into the sky, earth and rocks flew, and the enemies were blown to pieces, crying and shouting.
Taking advantage of this brief moment of confusion, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen broke out side by side to the right. Their bodies moved like lightning, swiftly passing through the thick smoke and the scattered bodies. But the enemy quickly reacted, reorganizing their firepower and firing wildly at them.
Bullets whizzed past them, hitting the ground and surrounding objects, splashing a string of sparks. Jiang Zhi stumbled and almost fell. Shen Qingchen was quick to support her and asked with concern: "How is it?"
Jiang Zhi shook his head, his eyes firm: "I'm fine, keep going!"
The two continued to rush forward, however, a wall of enemies appeared in front of them. They were holding guns and ready for battle, as if waiting for Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen to fall into their trap.
Shen Qingchen took a deep breath, protected Jiang Zhi behind him, and whispered: "Zhi'er, I will rush forward to attract their firepower, and you will find a chance to go around from the side."
Jiang Zhi widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief: "No, Shen Qingchen, let's go together, I won't leave you!"
Shen Qingchen's eyes were gentle but revealed an unquestionable firmness: "Child, don't be willful. This is the only way now. You must get out alive, for the children, for our unfinished business."
Tears flashed in Jiang Zhi's eyes, but she knew that Shen Qingchen was right. At this moment, every second of hesitation could cause the two of them to die here. She gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay, be careful."
Shen Qingchen smiled faintly, a smile that, despite the flames of war, held a unique sense of peace and affection. He suddenly rushed out from behind the cover, his gun roaring, and madly fired at the enemy's wall, shouting loudly: "Come on! You bastards!"
The enemy's firepower was instantly attracted by Shen Qingchen and all concentrated on him. Jiang Zhi's heart was in her throat. She took advantage of the enemy's distraction, crouched down, and quickly moved forward from the side. Her eyes were fixed on Shen Qingchen's figure, and the gun in her hand kept shooting at the enemies who tried to attack Shen Qingchen's flank.
Although Shen Qingchen was brave, he was no match for his opponent. His clothes were soaked with sweat and had been ripped in many places by enemy bullets, with blood seeping out and staining his clothes red. His physical strength gradually weakened and his steps began to stagger, but his eyes remained firm and the gun in his hand did not stop for a moment.
Just as Jiang Zhi was about to get behind the enemy, a sniper hiding in the shadows suddenly spotted her. The sniper quickly adjusted the scope and slowly pulled the trigger.
Jiang Zhi sensed danger, a strong sense of crisis welling up in her heart. Without time to think, she instinctively dodged to the side. At that moment, a bullet flew past her scalp, carrying away a strand of her hair.
When Shen Qingchen saw this scene, he was furious and roared, "Bastard!" He ignored his own safety and fired wildly in the direction of the sniper, trying to force the sniper out of his position.
Jiang Zhi took the opportunity to speed up and finally got behind the enemy. She attacked the enemy's back without hesitation, and for a moment, the enemy's rear was in chaos.
Seeing the opportunity, Shen Qingchen used up his last bit of strength to break through the enemy's wall and rushed towards Jiang Zhi. After the two met, they stood back to back, breathing heavily, their bodies covered with scars and exhausted, but their eyes were still firm, full of desire for life and hatred for the enemy.
At this moment, the enemy's attack intensified once again, seemingly driven to rage and humiliation, desperate to annihilate Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen completely. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen were running low on ammunition, and the situation grew increasingly dire. The shadow of death loomed over them, as if it would devour them in the next second... But they refused to give up, gripping their weapons tightly, ready for the next round of life-and-death struggle. Even if hope seemed slim, they would fight to the bitter end for justice and their families.
