Chapter 38 Internal strife
Gu Yu hid in the dark and adjusted to the light inside. When he saw Ma Dajun's undisguised surveillance of Xiuzhu, his eyes instantly became sharp and terrifying, like two sharp knives stabbing straight into the man's heart.
The corners of his mouth were no longer tightly pursed, but slightly turned up, his hands were clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned white from the force.
He could imagine the fear and helplessness in Xiuzhu's eyes when she was pulled out. Those eyes, which were once full of vitality and brilliance, were now covered with a thin layer of tears.
And her clumsy attempts to hold her elbow over her mouth to stifle the sobs that were welling up.
Gu Yu could no longer maintain his usual calmness. His breathing became rapid and his chest rose and fell noticeably, as if there was a ball of anger burning in his heart that was about to burst out.
He knew very clearly that now was not a good time. There were three people on the other side, and they all had guns. He was not sure he could rescue Xiuzhu safely.
But now he just wanted to hold her in his arms and comfort her. He would use his body to protect her and keep her safe.
Gu Yu's dark eyes were deep, fixed on Xiuzhu's direction, his gaze firm.
Then, he rushed to Xiuzhu's position without hesitation. His footsteps were as fast as the wind. His body almost turned into a flash of lightning, passing through those people at an extremely fast speed.
The moment he approached Xiuzhu, he adjusted his posture nimbly, and without any hesitation, he quickly stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms with all his strength, while using his body as a shield to protect her as much as possible.
Gu Yu appeared too suddenly. Zhou Yong and others were discussing the next plan and were unable to react immediately.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment. The professionally trained Feng Sheng took out the pistol on his waist and shot at Gu Yu.
He shouted at the two men anxiously, "Damn it, he's looking for death, shoot him to death now."
The other two people reacted and quickly shot towards Gu Yu.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
The gunshots were deafening and echoed in the enclosed space.
Gu Yu hugged Xiuzhu tightly and nimbly dodged the bullet fired by Feng Sheng first. Then he used the large wooden box on the wall of the cave to block their view and shot at the two lanterns next to him.
Feng Sheng and the others' vision suddenly darkened.
Gu Yu listened to the sound and successfully avoided them, then carried Xiuzhu back from the other side to the corner where he had just hidden. This was covered and could form a unique cover.
After successfully rescuing Xiuzhu, he had a tired but satisfied smile on his face. He quickly took out the knife hidden in his sleeve and cut the rope on Xiuzhu's hand.
He couldn't help but kiss her forehead and comforted her, "Be good, it's okay."
Now was not the time to comfort her, as Zhou Yong quickly lit a new lantern and fired at him.
Gu Yu also hid sideways in the cover of the stone wall and fired back.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
"ah"
Screams were heard along with the sound of gunfire. Zhou Yong was shot through the tui, blood and flesh were blurred. He fell to the ground in a mess, rolling around in pain, "Ah, Brother Sheng, save me, I don't want to die."
"Damn, you piece of crap."
"Bang"
A sharp and dull gunshot instantly restored a moment of peace to the originally chaotic secret room.
…
Feng Sheng simply lowered his head and shot Zhou Yong in the head. The bullet penetrated his head, leaving a shocking splash of blood.
Zhou Yong's body leaned back stiffly, then fell down helplessly. Blood gushed out from his head, staining the ground and stone walls in the cave red.
In the last moments of his life, his face was twisted into an expression of pain and disbelief, and then he gradually turned pale and cold.
The air around them became silent. Only Zhou Yong's eyes, still open as if in death, looked in the direction of Feng Sheng.
Ma Dajun was standing not far from Zhou Yong, his body and face covered with his blood and white brain matter. The pungent smell of blood and the feeling of fear made his legs and feet sore that he knelt on the ground.
Then he crawled over and cried to Feng Jun for mercy, "My cousin-in-law, please don't kill me. Please spare my life for my cousin's sake."
Feng Sheng stared at Gu Yu's movements and continued shooting in that direction without looking at Ma Dajun.
But he was annoyed by his yelling, and took the time to shout loudly with an impatient look: "Zhou Yong's leg was shot through, we can't get out with him."
"If we stay and get caught, he might betray us. Killing him directly is the best option."
"If you don't want to die, get up quickly and kill Gu Yu."
"He saw my face. I can't let him get away alive."
Ma Dajun stood up tremblingly and took out his pistol, "Okay, I'll kill Gu Yu right now."
His eyes flashed, and his hands shook with fear as he thought of what was in his mind. Finally, he gritted his teeth and pointed the gun in the direction of Feng Sheng.
"Bang"
The bullet penetrated the cave wall...
