The pain in my body gradually turned into numbness, until finally I couldn't feel any pain anymore.
I quickly ran into the woods and searched for their footprints by the light of the torches held by the Ertas tribe.
They were running very fast, clearly chasing after Wang Ping and Li Peng.
The gunfire from Li Peng and his men had become sparse, whether because they had run out of bullets or because they were simply unable to return fire.
I knew their situation must be very difficult, so I had to go and help them as soon as possible.
I immediately climbed up a tree branch and fired two shots at the Utas tribe.
The people of the Utas tribe were taken aback, and immediately moved the firelight toward me.
I breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how many people we could recruit, at least it would buy Wang Ping and the others some time to escape.
Behind the Utas tribe were several pirates, holding guns and scanning the woods back and forth. Each gun even had an infrared sensor, which terrified me.
Although I was wearing a bulletproof vest, it could only protect my chest and heart. If I got hit in other areas, I would still suffer.
I quickly jumped down from the tree and hid behind a rock, not daring to move, holding my breath and listening to the sounds outside.
Aside from a commotion of random sweeping, I heard the voice of a foreign man. I couldn't understand what he was saying, but he was clearly very angry. He must have been looking for me and I couldn't find him, which was why he was so upset.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the commotion of the Etas tribe natives. They seemed to be discussing some countermeasures, but soon I heard them whistling again, as if they were summoning the lynxes.
After all, these beasts were very useful helpers to them.
I know I absolutely cannot stay here any longer, but it's not easy to get away from them under their watchful eyes...
After thinking it over, I immediately picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at a tree trunk in the distance.
The people of the Utas tribe were indeed attracted, and then they watched as their firelight moved back a bit and headed towards the direction from which the sound had come.
I immediately got up and tried to run away, but little did I know that this time I had fallen into a trap.
Just as I stood up, a gunshot rang out behind me. I felt a piercing pain in my back, then everything went black, and I lost my balance and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterward came a series of hurried footsteps and the sound of people cursing behind him.
Damn it, the Utas tribe has actually learned to play this kind of trick. This is a complete feint attack!
Learning and applying what you've learned is quite fast!
I thought they would be attracted, but to my surprise, they didn't go over. It seems that the people of the Utas tribe have learned their lesson and become smarter during their time fighting with us.
I didn't have time to look back to see if anyone was chasing me. All I knew was that I had to run, or I was afraid I would die.
I got up and scrambled down the slope. A series of rapid gunshots rang out from the ground, which terrified me. After about ten meters, I finally came to a stop by hitting a rock.
I didn't even have time to feel happy, or even to catch my breath. After getting up, I rushed to avoid it.
Wang Ping and the others can only hope for the best, because my situation isn't very good either.
After running a few hundred meters further, I heard no sound behind me and breathed a sigh of relief.
I leaned against the stone wall, breathing heavily, but it was pitch black everywhere. Without the firelight from the Utas tribe, I had no idea where Wang Ping and the others had gone. This was a real problem.
My whole body ached terribly, but there was nowhere to rest. I looked around but still couldn't find anything wrong, so I quickly returned to the camp based on our previous memories.
After looking around the camp, I realized that it had been bombed.
The new house that Bai Wei had built halfway was destroyed by the bomb, and our warehouses were also blown up. There were rubble everywhere, as well as gold mines that had been blown down. The campfires in the camp were still flickering, and the place was desolate.
Chen Jian, Wang Xiaoxiao, and Bai Wei, along with their large group, are no longer at the camp. I searched along the route they took before leaving, but couldn't find any trace of them. I wonder if Chen Jian has already taken them to a safe place.
The camp is abandoned now, and we can't stay there. I don't know what the situation is with Wang Ping and Li Peng.
I originally wanted to rescue them, but now I'm afraid I can't even protect myself. With so many serious injuries, I simply can't hold on any longer.
I found a relatively secluded corner and conjured up that iron gate.
After the door appeared, I quickly ran inside, closed the iron gate, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, this is something that most people wouldn't be able to spot.
I immediately imagined some medicine to treat my wounds, but leaning against the wall, my head was still spinning.
Wang Ping and the others ran towards Shandong. We had previously searched for food on the Shandong side as well. If we ran further ahead from there, there should be a stream.
Beyond the stream was still a forest. If Wang Ping and Li Peng were even a little quick-witted, they would know that after crossing that stream, they couldn't go any further into the forest.
Because we had never set foot in that forest before, we didn't know if there were any large wild animals hiding there.
But apart from that grove of trees, there was nowhere else to rest...
I was extremely worried. I couldn't contact Chen Jian either, and I didn't know what was going on with them. At this point, we had split into three groups, or you could say we were scattered.
At least Wang Ping and Li Peng still had guns, but when Chen Jian and the others left, only Chen Jian had a gun. In the chaos, I don't know if they took any of the weapons we had made with them.
Moreover, Yang Rui and Xiao He's group of people with ulterior motives are also inside, which makes me extremely worried.
After much deliberation, I decided to go and rescue Wang Ping and Li Peng first.
After all, although Chen Jian's situation was also dangerous, there were still quite a few of us in our group.
Xiao He and his group are almost out of weapons. If a conflict breaks out, they might not be able to defeat us.
However, the situation for Wang Ping and Li Peng was far more dangerous than that for Chen Jian.
If those ruthless pirates and the Utas tribe who would tear us apart by five horses were to run into Wang Ping and Li Peng, I would have no choice but to collect their corpses.
I immediately grabbed a few more bottles of medicine, tidied up my guns and ammunition, and took a knife before climbing out of the iron gate.
Once the iron gate was completely hidden in the darkness, I immediately turned around and chased after Wang Ping and the others in the direction they had fled.
But to my surprise, after chasing them all night, I still couldn't find any trace of Wang Ping and the others...
