The ghost soldiers dispersed in an orderly fashion, with those carrying long-range weapons standing at the front of the ship, while those with short-range weapons retreated into the cabins to conserve their energy.
Wu Ziyang was surprised that Lu Zhengye, despite being in a dangerous situation, still dared to confront him head-on.
He was provoked and shouted, "Shoot down their bunkers! Today, either they die, or we die!"
A hail of bullets continued to rain down on the place where Lin Yusheng and Lu Zhengye were hiding, sending dirt flying. If this continued, the bullets would eventually penetrate the mound of earth.
While Lin Yusheng was unconscious, she vaguely heard the guards' discussion, and combined with what Cao Da said, she made a deduction.
"Their weapons were all provided by Lu Jing, but because of my instigation, they fell out, so they probably don't have much ammunition left."
Lu Zhengye was stunned for a moment, then said, "You're quite capable."
The gunshot was too loud for Lin Yusheng to hear. "What did you say?"
Lu Zhengye had no intention of repeating himself; he peeked out from the other party's blind spot to check the situation.
Wu Ziyang directed his men to keep attacking Lu Zhengye and Lin Yusheng, but they were soon forced to fight back by the Ghost Walkers.
Lu Zhengye's attack intensity decreased significantly, but the earthen mounds protecting them were about to be breached.
He looked around and saw a wall directly in front of him, probably an insignificant remnant from the previous demolition of houses.
At his speed, getting there safely isn't a problem; the problem is Lin Yusheng.
Even if she didn't say it, he could tell that she was physically disabled. Even if she were nimble, without professional training, she wouldn't be able to completely dodge bullets and move safely at an astonishing speed.
Seeing Lu Zhengye remain silent for a long time with a serious expression, Lin Yusheng guessed what was going on. "Do you have a way to move him safely?"
The raised mound of earth was getting thinner and thinner, and Lin Yusheng knew that she couldn't stay here for long.
Lu Zhengye pursed his lips and remained silent.
Lin Yusheng said anxiously, "You go quickly, don't worry about me. I have avenged my great enemy, but you haven't. If anything happens to you because of me, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Now is not the time to ask Lin Yusheng what revenge she is seeking.
Lu Zhengye gripped her shoulders, his expression serious and solemn. "Shut up. Now listen to me. I'll cover you. Don't look back. Keep running behind the wall. Remember, run as fast as you can. As long as nothing goes wrong, I can meet up with you."
His words brought Lin Yusheng a sense of calm.
The mound of earth was becoming increasingly crumbling and was about to collapse. Lin Yusheng knew how precious time was at this moment, so she swallowed all her words and nodded heavily.
Lu Zhengye secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the person he had his eye on was indeed brave enough.
The moment the enemy was reloading, Lu Zhengye shouted, "Right now, run!"
Lin Yusheng gritted her teeth and stood up, leaving behind the words, "I'll wait for you."
Then she took off running without looking back. She had never run so fast in her life. The sound of gunfire and wind blurred her ears.
She prayed in her heart: God, if you are truly watching over us from heaven, please bless Lu Zhengye so that he can escape this calamity. I am willing to give up everything I have to do this.
Seeing this, Wu Ziyang shouted, "Hurry up, you bunch of idiots!"
He personally picked up the gun and intended to aim it at Lin Yusheng.
But Lu Zhengye appeared in his field of vision even faster. Lu Zhengye didn't even have time to aim before he fired directly at Wu Ziyang.
Wu Ziyang's pupils dilated slightly, and he quickly turned to the side.
The bullet grazed his cheek, leaving a red mark.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, he probably would have already gone to meet the King of Hell.
"Zhao, Lu Zhengye, hit him."
The men obeyed the order and opened fire on Lu Zhengye, while Lin Yusheng's side had few bullets left.
This is Lu Zhengye's purpose.
Just as Wu Ziyang was in the heat of the moment, his subordinate came to report, "Second Brother Wu, we're running out of ammunition."
"How is that possible? It's only been going on for a short while!"
His men were drenched in sweat. "Our boss lied about the amount of ammunition so we wouldn't panic."
Wu Ziyang's face was gloomy.
His subordinates asked tremblingly, "Brother Wu, should we call the brothers back?"
Wu Ziyang pondered with a dark expression. If he recalled his men, the Ghost Gang would definitely press their advantage, and then they wouldn't be able to deal with Lu Zhengye with all their might.
If the men aren't recalled, they'll die without ammunition.
Wu Ziyang didn't hesitate for long. "Don't recall them. Let them fight to the very end."
The subordinates were shocked. "This...this isn't worth it. Our boss is already dead. We don't want to lose our lives."
The subordinate turned to tell his brothers the news, but he had only taken a few steps when Wu Ziyang fired a shot at him, and he fell down with his eyes wide open.
Looking at the restless people in the arena, Wu Ziyang threatened, "Anyone who dares to surrender will be killed."
Everyone lowered their heads and focused on the battle.
Lu Zhengye's cover was completely breached, and he quickly rolled to the side, where there were now more than a dozen bullet holes.
He was out of bullets, so to lighten his load, he threw the gun away, stood up, and ran forward.
Lin Yusheng was only ten steps away from the wall.
She was covered in sweat, and the strange pain in her lower abdomen forced her to bite her lip and persevere.
She silently said in her heart: Child, I'm sorry, Mom may not be able to protect you anymore.
Lu Zhengye was distracted while looking at Lin Yusheng, who was still not safe, and a bullet grazed his calf.
He glanced back briefly, and in that single glance, his heart skipped a beat: Wu Ziyang's gun was pointed at Lin Yusheng.
Lin Yusheng was three steps away from the wall; there was absolutely no way she could be faster than Wu Ziyang's bullet.
Lu Zhengye almost instinctively stood behind her, while the bullet that should have hit Lin Yusheng instead pierced Lu Zhengye's left chest.
Lin Yusheng thought she had escaped death and turned around in surprise, only to see this scene: Lu Zhengye's face was in pain and blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Because of his pause, three more bullets entered his body.
Lu Zhengye's left wrist was also grazed by a bullet, his Buddhist prayer beads broke and fell to the ground, and a red mark was left on his wrist.
He collapsed to his knees, his suit trousers billowing up slightly with his movement, revealing wrinkles on his skin from being submerged in seawater for an extended period.
Lin Yusheng felt as if the world had stopped turning.
"No, ahhh!" Lin Yusheng screamed in despair.
Lu Zhengye fell heavily to the ground. He looked at Lin Yusheng and moved his lips, "Don't come any closer."
Upon hearing the commotion, Wei Qing felt a surge of worry and fear. He was furious and ordered, "Kill them all, leave no one alive."
Driven by fear, the ghosts launched a fierce attack.
Lin Yusheng's eyes were filled with Lu Zhengye and a patch of red blood. Her breath seemed to stop as the bullet pierced Lu Zhengye's left chest.
That place is where the heart is.
