Chapter 197 Life Hangs by a Thread
The man struggled to walk forward, and Anu went forward to help him, but the man pushed her away.
Momo stood motionless, but her vision was completely blurred by tears. Through the blur, she saw the man's tall back darken. The moment the pain struck, Fu Yungui couldn't even straighten his back.
But the man still walked toward the helicopter without hesitation, leaving a trail of bloody footprints behind him.
"Fu Yungui!" Momo's hands trembled violently as she called out to the man's retreating figure.
The man paused for a moment, but still didn't look back, and stepped onto the helicopter.
Momo instinctively wanted to follow, but before she could even lift her foot, she was pulled back by the person behind her.
“Momo…” Bian Xi’s voice was calm, but seeing her seemingly subconscious action, her heart was instantly stirred. “Don’t be impulsive, we can go home now.”
"He let us go."
"Isn't this the result you've always hoped for?"
Momo's arm was firmly restrained behind her, and she couldn't move it anymore.
She seemed to hesitate the moment she heard Bian Xi say she could go home.
Yes, after waiting for so long, he has finally set himself free.
I can go home now. I've made it home safely.
However, her mind was in complete turmoil at that moment.
I can no longer feel any joy or anticipation of going home.
My muddled mind was almost entirely filled with the image of that man covered in blood.
Unable to make any further actions or judgments, completely led by Bian Xi, she could only follow his words.
Anu's face turned cold for the first time, but she had no choice but to follow the man onto the plane without moving.
As soon as they stepped inside, they saw the man suddenly collapse inside.
"Brother Yun!"
Anu rushed forward immediately, ignoring all orders.
Why be so stubborn? You're already at your breaking point, but you just won't give up in front of that girl.
That bullet went right through his body; it's a miracle he's held on for so long without collapsing.
He couldn't even imagine what kind of perseverance that would require.
"Sawa, hurry back to base, hurry!"
Anu issued commands to the person inside the communication device, his voice extremely cold.
He didn't know exactly where the bullet had pierced, or whether it posed any life-threatening danger.
But even if there is no immediate danger to life, such bleeding can still kill a person.
“Sava received.” Sava responded quickly through the earpiece.
The survivors quickly turned around to take off, but less than ten seconds after taking off, several armor-piercing incendiary bombs suddenly shot up from the ground and flew straight toward the survivors.
"Sava, take note."
Nar's notification came through the communication device, and Sawa immediately retreated to the side at lightning speed to dodge the aerial explosion.
The next second, the Raptor swooped in horizontally, and Nar pressed the missile switch without hesitation. Several loud explosions rang out in the air.
Several armor-piercing incendiary shells were penetrated in mid-air, exploding before they could even touch the survivors. The survivors, then enveloped in thick smoke, were sent flying straight towards the southeast corner at incredible speed.
Momo tensed up at the sound of the explosions. Debris rained down in front of her, and in the thick smoke, she couldn't even see the helicopter anymore.
She suddenly turned around and looked over.
Bian Xi was startled by her gaze, which was full of suspicion without any attempt to conceal it.
"Bian Xi, is that you?" The voice that came out was still eerily quiet.
Bian Xi shook her head without hesitation, but felt a chill in her heart. "Momo, I was right next to you just now, and I don't think I said a single word, did I?"
How could you doubt me?
"What's wrong with you?" Bian Xi asked, her voice filled with disappointment and sorrow.
"How come you're having these wild thoughts now that everything has ended so smoothly?"
Seeing the sincerity and disappointment in his eyes, Momo's suspicions about him dissipated in that instant.
But he didn't say anything more, only whispered, "I'm sorry."
My mind is a mess.
There was a hint of apology in his eyes.
Yes, what reason or evidence does she have to suspect Bian Xi?
He has indeed been here all along.
The raptor remained behind as a safe haven for the retreat. In the cockpit, Nal's expression was extremely cold. He saw that the survivors ahead were far away and completely out of range of firing. He immediately and without hesitation turned around and circled around the house.
"Nar, don't linger in the fight, Yun is the priority." Seeing the helicopter behind them turn around and return to its original position, Anu's order immediately came through the communication device.
This is the unspoken rule among them: in the absence of Brother Yun, in case of an emergency, everything will be based on Anu's orders.
Although Brother Yun is still here, it's no different from him not being here at all.
The man lay there covered in blood, unresponsive.
Anu gave him first aid, but the medical equipment on the helicopter was too limited, and he wasn't a professional doctor, so he didn't dare to do anything rash.
This time, Nar refused to listen and simply said coldly, "I know what I'm doing."
Anu knew that once Nar got angry, no one could stop him.
He doesn't have the time or inclination to deal with him now, so he'll just let him be.
Bian Xi, still standing on the rooftop, heard the huge sound of the propeller and his heart skipped a beat.
He looked up abruptly and saw that the silver-gray helicopter had turned around again.
The action just now was not his order, but Pan Wen's unauthorized action was exactly what he wanted.
He knew that the man might not necessarily die from that shot.
Although the gun was pressed firmly against her heart, at the crucial moment, Momo suddenly changed the direction of the shot.
So that bullet probably wouldn't have killed him.
If those armor-piercing incendiary rounds had hit their target, they would have surely pulverized Fu Yungui along with his weapons.
Unfortunately, it was still just a little bit short.
Fu Yungui's armed men were not to be underestimated. Even without Fu Yungui's command, they were still quite a handful to deal with.
Momo only snapped out of her daze when she heard the increasingly close roar. Her whole body was still trembling and numb, as if she had been struggling in the sea for a long time. She felt tired and wet all over.
Including that heart.
It was as if we had been drenched in a downpour.
She looked up and her eyes suddenly went blank; the helicopter wasn't the one Fu Yungui had boarded earlier.
