Chapter 126 Huo Zhenhua Arrives
Su Meng was confused. When she saw Liu Shengchao raise his gun at her, her head went blank. It felt as if a steel needle from sewing a shoe sole had pierced her head, causing a sharp pain that made her heart spasm.
She instinctively cocked her gun, ready to fire back, but then the image of herself circling the island to deliver the gun to him, ignoring the pursuing Japanese soldiers, flashed before her eyes, and she felt a sudden sense of irony.
Without thinking, she pulled the trigger.
But Liu Sheng's bullet flew over first.
Su Meng shrank her neck in fright and turned her head away, causing the bullet to deviate from its trajectory.
Naturally, Liu Sheng, who had served in the army for many years, also noticed Su Meng's misunderstanding of him.
He fired the shot and then hid, quickly approaching Su Meng.
At that moment, Huo Zhenhua's ship docked.
Upon hearing the gunshot, he was jolted and his heart clenched. Before the boat had even come to a complete stop, he rushed toward the sound of the gunshot.
Only one thought remained in his mind—Su Meng must not get hurt!
Su Meng was indeed not shot.
Because of Liu Sheng's shot, Su Meng escaped the clutches of death.
Unfortunately, before she could even react, a gun was pressed against her head.
“Tell me, did you steal our ship?” a man from Country R shouted angrily at her.
Su Meng slowly stood up, forcing herself to remain calm, and turned to meet his gaze. She replied in Japanese, "Are you blind? You've been chasing me the whole time. When did I steal your boat?"
That's slander!
I think your companions saw the situation was bad and took the opportunity to abandon you and run away.
The man paused, a flicker of hesitation crossing his sinister eyes.
Then he stared intently at Su Meng, raised his other hand and slapped Su Meng's cheeks twice, saying, "Little girl, are you trying to fool a three-year-old?"
There was no one on board. Who was driving the boat?
"Come on! Take me to a boat."
Upon hearing this, Su Meng's eyes lit up. So there was no one on the boat!
Judging from the depth of the ship's draft, it must be loaded with a lot of cargo.
Unfortunately, the space was still shrouded in thick fog, and it was impossible to see what had been gained.
She looked up and met his gaze, and said in a serious tone, "Sir, to be honest, my boat also disappeared without a trace on the shore."
I passed through here three days ago and was attracted by the beautiful scenery.
But to our surprise, the boats that were docked disappeared as soon as we disembarked. Isn't that strange?
She looked around in alarm, her neck shrinking back in fear, tears welling in her clear eyes.
She looked just like a frightened little girl.
The R-country man frowned, glanced around warily, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you telling the truth?"
Su Meng sniffed and nodded emphatically, "Yes! There must be a ghost here!"
Without hesitation, she raised three fingers and said, "I swear, if I have lied even a little bit, may the gods judge me and may the people of R country be condemned to eternal hell."
She spoke in the R language from the very first word she spoke.
The man assumed she was from Japan, stared at her suspiciously for two or three seconds, and then put his gun away.
He subconsciously felt that something was wrong with Su Meng's words, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
However, another Japanese man hiding in the shadows understood Su Meng's words. He raised his gun and aimed it at Su Meng.
Su Meng glanced at the man walking with his back to her, and just as she was about to flick her silver needles, she felt herself being stared at by Death again.
Without thinking, she quickly hid in front of the man.
The next second, a bullet pierced through the R-country man beside her, flying past her ear with a trail of blood, the warm liquid making it impossible for her to open her eyes.
At that moment, Liu Sheng also fired his gun.
He quickly killed the person who shot at Su Meng, and before he could turn his gun around, he caught a glimpse of a Japanese man behind Su Meng out of the corner of his eye.
But he was out of bullets.
"Su Meng!"
He shouted and pointed at the person in the shadows.
Before Su Meng could catch her breath, she saw Liu Sheng's warning.
She tried to dodge, but she was no match for the bullet.
After silently repeating "go in" to no avail, two words popped out in despair—it's over!
In a daze, I heard Huo Zhenhua's voice, and I also heard gunshots.
Even clearer were the sizzling sounds of bullets tearing through the air and piercing flesh, and Liu Sheng's muffled groan.
Liu Sheng?
As consciousness returned, I saw Liu Sheng falling backward with his face contorted in pain.
He pressed one hand against his wound, twisted his neck with difficulty, and moved his chapped lips: "Go to Huangyan Island."
The voice was low and hoarse, as if it had been squeezed out of the chest with all the strength, making Su Meng feel dizzy and unsteady on her feet.
"Liu Sheng!"
Su Meng ran over and caught Liu Sheng's head as it slammed to the ground.
He shouted anxiously, "Liu Sheng, you can't sleep! Wake up!"
She choked back tears as she fed him the antidote and quickly used silver needles to protect his heart meridian.
As soon as he took out the first-aid kit, Huo Zhenhua rushed to her side, hugged her tightly, and anxiously looked her over, asking, "Su Meng, how are you?"
I heard a familiar voice and smelled the familiar scent of soap.
Su Meng could no longer control her tears, which fell in large drops, like a flood during typhoon season, instantly causing a devastating disaster.
Warm tears fell onto Huo Zhenhua's hand, burning him and making him tremble all over. His blood roared with a desire to fight and destroy everything.
"Don't cry! It's alright."
Su Meng shook her head, pointed to Liu Sheng on the ground, and said in a tearful voice, "But he's going to die!"
Huo Zhenhua then looked at Liu Sheng and patted Su Meng on the shoulder, "He's lucky, he won't die! Can you save him?"
He knew perfectly well that Su Meng was Lin Xi.
But he didn't want to reveal her secret, glancing at her medicine box. "I support you in doing whatever you want. Don't be afraid! I'm here for you."
Su Meng nodded. "Go and retrieve the guns from the R countrymen. There are ten of them in total, and only seven of them are here. Be careful."
She didn't know how many people Liu Sheng had killed, so she could only give a general idea of the danger.
Taking advantage of Huo Zhenhua turning around, he released the ship from the space.
Fortunately, she was located under a large reef, less than 20 meters from the coastline.
Blue sky and clear clouds, gentle breeze and bright sunshine.
Occasionally, a few seabirds break the tranquility of the calm sea with their cries.
Amidst the crashing waves, the R country's ship suddenly appeared behind another reef, drifting aimlessly like a withered boat.
Huo Zhenhua emerged from the woods and saw the ship.
He cautiously cocked his gun and exchanged a glance with Wang Qinglin, who had just arrived.
Wang Qinglin glanced at the busy Su Meng and said softly, "I'll take some men over there."
If we don't get there soon, the ship will drift away with the current.
Huo Zhenhua was worried about Su Meng's safety.
He stood behind Su Meng like a guardian angel, on high alert, his nerves taut, his sharp eyes as keen and dangerous as an eagle's, full of aggression.
Wang Qinglin and his men secured the ship, and whispered something in his ear with a happy expression.
He glanced at Su Meng, who was removing a bullet from someone, with a fleeting tenderness in his eyes.
He whispered, "There are three more Japanese nationals. We need to see them dead or alive."
The hidden crisis must be eradicated at its root.
The news that the R country's ship had fallen into their hands must not be leaked.
He was very curious about how Su Meng and Liu Sheng had managed to intercept the ship.
They had dispatched three boats and a patrol of nearly two hundred people from their Southeast Military Region, but they hadn't found any trace of it. They never expected that the two of them would intercept it by accident.
Su Meng bandaged Liu Sheng's wounds and tied a professional knot.
"So tired!" she murmured, slumping to the ground. She glanced at the man who had been standing behind her and muttered, "I'm going to sleep for a while."
As the sun began to set, the golden sunset slowly sank into the sea, casting a golden glow on the horizon where the sea and sky met.
Huo Zhenhua sighed, picked her up, and said, "Go to sleep!"
