"Qin Xiao!"
Leng Nan scrambled over and flipped Qin Xiao's body over, letting him rest his head on her lap.
The warm, viscous liquid instantly soaked through her black dress, the sensation making her tremble.
Blood.
It's Qin Xiao's blood.
"Hold on! You have to hold on!" she screamed incoherently, her hands trembling as she tried to cover the bleeding wound.
it's useless.
The wound was in her chest; the bullet had pierced her body, and she couldn't hold it down with her hands.
Her pride in her composure and rationality shattered completely the moment she saw him fall.
Why?
Why did you take a bullet for me?
I'm just a burden to monitor you, a decorative vase you use to humiliate! Didn't you say bodyguards should take bullets for their bosses? But you're the boss!
Tears streamed uncontrollably from her reddened eyes, mingling with the night wind and falling onto Qin Xiao's pale face.
"Pfft..." Qin Xiao coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling his strength rapidly draining away.
The indestructible body was indeed operating frantically, repairing the damaged tissues, but a cold and eerie force clung to the wounds, constantly destroying and tearing them apart, preventing healing.
Specially made bullets.
For the first time, he felt the chill of death.
"Don't cry... your makeup's ruined..." He struggled to raise his hand, wanting to wipe away Leng Nan's tears, but he didn't even have that much strength, and his arm fell limply to his side halfway through. "It doesn't look good..."
"You bastard! You bastard!" Leng Nan grabbed his cold hand, pressed it against her face, and cried like a lost child. "Who told you to care about my appearance! You're not allowed to die! I order you, you're not allowed to die!"
The other end of the rooftop.
Mei Xinya froze, gripping the still-smoking gun.
She stared at the scene before her, her mind blank.
Did he... really block it?
He risked his life to protect a military lackey.
Was he not acting? Was everything he said true?
So I... killed the only person who wanted to help me?
"team leader!"
At the top of the stairs came Li Mo's horrified roar. He rushed up with two team members, and when he saw Qin Xiao lying in a pool of blood and Leng Nan crying uncontrollably, the gun in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"I...I just wanted to...force her to leave..." His lips trembled, and his face was deathly pale.
He only saw that Mei Xinya had put down her gun, and thought it was the best time to attack. He wanted to use a shot to force back or even wound the terrorist and avenge his previous sacrifice.
He never imagined that Qin Xiao would use his body to block the bullet that Mei Xinya shot at Leng Nan.
His shot disrupted all plans and killed someone who was supposed to be a friendly force.
"roll!"
Leng Nan turned around abruptly, and the hatred and murderous intent that burst forth from her bloodshot and tear-filled eyes was a hundred times more intense than that from Mei Xinya just now.
"Li Mo! I told you to get out! Take your men and disappear from my sight!" She pointed at the stairwell, her voice hoarse and cracking. "From now on, I am not your captain! The Snow Wolf Squad has no place for a useless idiot like you!"
Li Mo's body trembled violently; his mouth was open, but no sound came out.
Shame, regret, fear... all the emotions overwhelmed him like a tide.
Just then, Mei Xinya, who had been standing still, suddenly moved.
She neither ran away nor continued the attack.
She walked step by step toward Qin Xiao and Leng Nan, who were lying in a pool of blood.
"Stop! Don't come any closer!" A Snow Wolf team member instinctively raised his gun and pointed it at her.
Leng Nan seemed not to notice, as all her attention was focused on Qin Xiao, whose breathing was growing weaker and weaker in her arms.
Mei Xinya ignored the gun barrel of the team member, walked straight to Qin Xiao's side, and squatted down.
She didn't look at Leng Nan, but instead stretched out her gloved hand, touched a little blood from Qin Xiao's wound, smelled it, and carefully examined the shape of the wound.
"Dragon Fang Bullet".
She uttered three words, her voice icy and devoid of any emotion.
"The Dragon King Palace specially crafted these bullets from meteorite iron and incantations to deal with martial artists with special abilities. They can break through any protective aura, and those hit will have their life force devoured by the incantation in a short time."
She raised her head, her gaze passing over everyone else, and landed on the distraught Li Mo.
"These bullets are a core secret of the Dragon King's Palace. No one except the Palace Master and a few of his closest confidants can obtain them. You..."
Her voice was full of sarcasm.
"Where did you, a special forces soldier from China, get your hands on the 'Dragon Fang Bullet' from the Dragon King's Palace?"
What? !
Li Mo suddenly raised his head, his face filled with disbelief.
His bullets…are from the Dragon King's Palace? How could that be! This batch of specially supplied ammunition was just allocated by higher authorities!
Leng Nan was also stunned. She stopped crying and looked abruptly at Li Mo.
A terrible thought arose simultaneously in her and Mei Xinya's minds.
There's a mole within the military!
Moreover, this traitor was of such a high rank that he had access to the core weapons of the Dragon King's Palace!
Li Mo was merely used as a tool. A tool to sabotage Qin Xiao's plans and, incidentally, to provoke a deadly battle between the military and "Ghost"!
Do you want to save him?
Mei Xinya suddenly spoke, looking at Leng Nan, and for the first time, something else appeared in those lifeless eyes.
Leng Nan didn't answer, but showed everything with her actions. She hugged Qin Xiao tightly, as if she wanted to transfer her body heat to him.
“Ordinary medical treatments are useless; the curse power of the Dragon Fang Bullet will kill him on the operating table.” Mei Xinya tore off a corner of her trench coat and then made a move that left everyone speechless.
She pulled down her mask, revealing a cool and stunningly beautiful face, and then without hesitation, used a dagger she seemed to have pulled out from somewhere to make a deep cut on her fair arm.
Fresh blood gushed out.
But strangely, her blood wasn't bright red; it had a faint golden tinge.
She pressed her bleeding arm directly onto the wound on Qin Xiao's chest.
“My blood has the property of dispelling curses. It can temporarily suppress the curse power and buy him time,” she said coldly as she worked. “But that’s not enough. I need more specialized equipment and medicine.”
She raised her head and looked directly into Leng Nan's eyes.
"I saved him, so you owe me a favor."
"What do you want?" Leng Nan asked in a hoarse voice.
"I want you to use all your authority to find everyone involved in today's operation, everyone who came into contact with this batch of ammunition!" Mei Xinya's eyes flashed with the flames of revenge. "I want to drag out that dog from the Dragon King's Palace hidden in your military, chop him up, and feed him to the fish!"
"He was injured because I fired the gun. I will avenge him."
"You and me, together."
She looked at Leng Nan and said, word by word.
"This is my pledge of allegiance."
