I pulled Zhou Qingya and hid behind a black sedan, while Sun Wenbo was behind another car.
As for the others, they were basically all dead. One or two were shot and were unable to move, lying on the ground bleeding. They were probably beyond saving.
I looked up and saw the people chasing us through the car window.
They were looters, wearing bulletproof vests and carrying guns, cautiously approaching us.
Zhou Qingya and I exchanged a glance, our eyes both showing helplessness.
I asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Zhou Qingya said, "No."
I glanced helplessly at Sun Wenbo across the street and gave him a look, but Sun Wenbo and I weren't familiar with each other, so he couldn't understand my meaning instantly like Sister Jing and the others, which made things a bit troublesome.
I glanced at the raiders approaching and counted them; there were five of them. They were all fully equipped and much more capable than me, who only had a pistol.
There was no way we could fight them head-on with just a pistol, and they obviously knew we weren't dead, so they came over cautiously, afraid of being ambushed by us.
I took out the pistol magazine and looked at it; there were only four bullets left.
I felt around in my pocket, and the spare magazine was gone. I frowned, feeling a bit annoyed.
With five of them about to arrive, if we don't make a move soon, we're really doomed!
"Xiaonan, get ready!"
Just then, the walkie-talkie hanging on my waist suddenly rang, and Sister Jing's voice came from it.
This surprised me. Ready? Ready for what?
Bang!
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the street where Jingjie and the others were.
I was stunned for a moment, then turned my head and saw that one of the five raiders had a bloody hole in his head, and then he collapsed and died.
The other four people were completely bewildered, and they had no idea what was going on.
Seeing this scene, I laughed. It seems that Sister Jing killed the other party with a sniper rifle.
Bang!
At that moment, Sister Jing fired another shot, and instantly, another enemy soldier died.
I seized the opportunity to rush out and fire at those people. Sun Wenbo saw me move and followed me out from behind the car.
I didn't hold back on my bullets; I used up all four in an instant. Sun Wenbo was just as decisive; he opened fire on them as soon as he came out, regardless of whether he hit them or not. Before long, the remaining three of them were all dead.
We couldn't be bothered with it, and we didn't want to go and pick up any guns, so we turned around and ran.
Leaving here is the most important thing now. Once we're out of here, we'll be safe. As for those looters, let them go.
I grabbed Zhou Qingya and we quickly ran towards the street behind us. I could already see Sister Jing and Li Jiaming.
However, a sudden change occurred.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out suddenly, coming from behind us.
The one who fired the shot was a raider who hadn't been completely killed.
"Ah!" Zhou Qingya was shot instantly, and blood flowed from her thigh immediately.
I checked the extent of the bleeding and, seeing that no arteries were damaged, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon hearing the gunshot, Sun Wenbo shrank back, then turned and fired back. After several shots, his pistol was empty, and the guy who had fired was dead.
Without thinking, I grabbed Zhou Qingya and hoisted her up, then ran towards Sister Jing and the others.
The gunfire ahead has stopped, which means that everyone in front has been killed by the looters. Whether it's Sun Wenbo's men or the people from the villa community, they are probably all dead under the looters' guns.
There's only one chance that the three of us can escape.
Rushing over to Sister Jing and the others, Sister Jing saw blood flowing from Zhou Qingya's thigh and asked, "How did you get shot?"
I said, "Let's not talk about that now, have you found the car yet?"
Sister Jing said, "Found it, it's over there."
I quickly carried Zhou Qingya over and put her in the back seat of the car. I tore open her trouser leg and looked at the wall on her thigh. The bullet had pierced through her thigh, so there was no need to remove it. The amount of blood flowing out was not much, so it definitely hadn't damaged an artery. If it had, I wouldn't have been able to save her.
After letting out a sigh of relief, I tore off her trouser leg with a knife and tied it above her wound to temporarily stop the bleeding. Then I cleaned her wound with a bottle of mineral water, wrapped it with the trouser leg, and said, "This is all we can do for now. We'll deal with it when we get back to the villa complex."
When Sun Wenbo saw that we were about to leave, he showed no intention of getting on the bus.
I asked, "Are you going to walk by yourself, or come with us?"
Sun Wenbo said, "I'm going back to my own territory. I've already killed enough of my men; I can't let anything else happen to them."
I nodded and said, "Be careful."
Sun Wenbo laughed and said, "I believe I will live to be a hundred."
We didn't say much, and Li Jiaming drove directly to the villa complex.
Zhou Qingya is doing alright; she's just in a lot of pain. Since she didn't bleed much and the bullet wasn't lodged in her body, she'll be fine after some disinfection and cleaning when she gets home. However, it's best to have it stitched up; otherwise, it will leave a very unsightly scar.
In the car, Sister Jing asked, "Xiaonan, how did those raiders end up here?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. It feels like they planned this all along, suddenly appearing here to attack us."
Jingjie said, "Could it be that someone lured these raiders here?"
I said, "That's unlikely. Sun Wenbo and the people in the villa community wouldn't do that. They know very well what kind of people the raiders are. Bringing them in would be suicide."
Sister Jing asked in confusion, "Then what exactly happened?"
I thought about my previous guess and realized that they probably wanted to come here because Ninghai City was challenging.
So I shared my guess, and both Sister Jing and Zhou Qingya thought it made a lot of sense.
Sister Jing said angrily, "If they really killed people for this reason, then they are simply crazy! It's completely unreasonable."
"There's nothing we can do, that's just how it is."

Recorder Diary 38:
"In the morning, we killed both of them and dumped the bodies outside..."
"Hey, Xu Qing, why are you still fiddling with your voice recorder? I really don't know what's so interesting about recording this. The power's about to go out, and you're still charging this thing. Is that appropriate?"
"Lin Zijie, don't talk about me, you use a cell phone yourself too."
"Alright, stop messing around. The supervisor wants us to come over and says he has something to announce."
"Oh, wait a minute, I'll be right there... I'll talk to you when I get back."
