Chapter 541: Night

RAT TAT TATAT TAT TAT!

Flames shot from their muzzles like they were on fire, and a hail of bullets smashed into the apartment unit without mercy. Bullet holes marked the wall, with the L115A3 sniper rifle leaving exceptionally large gaps in it.

But, even before they opened fire, Xiao Luo had already left from the balcony.Without the thermal sensor’s help, the L115A3 sniper rifle could not pinpoint Xiao Luo’s exact location. Infuriated, Evil Dragon continued aiming his rifle at the apartment unit incessantly, and the powerful impact of the sniper bullets left the unit’s wall filled with holes. Along with the damage that the mortar shells caused earlier, the whole building began to crumble and looked on the verge of collapse as smoke filled the air.It was a horrific scene with bullets flying, guns roaring, and thick smoke hanging in the air!

It was a good five minutes before the gunfire gradually stopped, and all the members of the Khun Sa Mercenary Corps remained behind cover, staring into the devastated building in front of them with only one question in their minds–is that guy dead or alive?

“Forward men, with me!”

Skull took the lead, rallying his men in a wild dash out of the gate.

Khun Sa got out of his jeep, chewing on the cigar in his mouth, but the moment he stepped out, his intuition sent alarming signals to his head. He immediately looked up and scanned the windows–what was that? He made out what appeared to be the muzzle on the building’s top floor, and it was pointing directly at him. Right at that point, a shot was fired!

Khun Sa’s eyes widened while his pupils narrowed suddenly. In this critical moment, he immediately turned his head to the side.

The high-powered round whistled past Khun Sa’s left ear, too close for comfort, and smashed into the side of the jeep, ripping a clean hole through it.

The corners of Khun Sa’s eyes were twitched nervously, and his malevolent eyes followed the trajectory of the shot to the roof of the building where a man stood holding his sniper rifle in one hand and carrying a woman on his left shoulder. Partly obscured by the smoke, he appeared indomitable, like the God of War.

Dragon snapped out his daze and immediately pointed his L115A3 sniper rifle at the figure on the roof. “F*cking son of a b*tch, go to hell!” he cursed.

He pulled the trigger, and the bullet from the rifle shot like a beast unbound, speeding toward Xiao Luo, intending to kill him.

Carrying Sarah on his shoulders, Xiao Luo leaped more than ten meters into the air, landing on the roof of another residential building, and then made several more successive jumps, before disappearing from their sight.

“Follow him! Don’t lose him!!”

Dragon had no intention of giving up and led his men on a chase.

Skull, who rushed into the residential building but later returned with nothing to show for it. Seeing that Khun Sa’s left ear was bleeding, Skull was concerned and said, “Boss, you are injured!

Khun Sa waved his hand and looked gloomily at the direction Xiao Luo had taken. “It’s just a slight injury, don’t worry about that!” he growled.

Khun Sa clenched his fists tightly. It was the first time he had a close encounter with Mie, his old rival Xiao Luo, and it almost finished him off. And still deeply imprinted in his mind, the maverick image of Xiao Luo haunted him.

Shooting with a sniper rifle in one hand and jumping from building to building with a woman on his shoulders–Mie was indeed a formidable opponent, a beast bred by the NSA.

…

…

Sarah Michelle had lost consciousness as a result of battle trauma. When she awoke, she only saw the glow of a flickering fire. It was already night.

Startled, she sat up suddenly and shouted, “Mr. Mie!”

Just then, she saw the man from Hua nation sitting across from her, cross-legged and meditating with wisps of white smoke rising from his body and curling in the air. She knew that she shouldn’t disturb Xiao Luo at a time like this, so she wisely remained silent. Suddenly, her nose caught a waft of roasted meat. She looked at the fire and saw a piece of animal’s thigh roasting over the fire, and the aroma was hard to resist

GRRR!

Sarah Michelle’s stomach suddenly rumbled, and she couldn’t help but swallow and lick her lips.

“I left it for you, so just enjoy it.”

Xiao Luo spoke indifferently with his eyes still closed. “This is dog meat,” he said. When he escaped from the building with her, he had spotted the wolfhound he killed along his path and picked it up.

“Thank you!”

Sarah chomped down right away. She was so hungry that she grabbed the entire piece of the roasted thigh, still a little hot, and gnawed on it. As she swallowed, she looked around and noticed that they were in a hilly area, and there was a military jeep next to her. She looked surprised and said, “Have we left the City of Brule?”

Xiao Luo responded to her with a slight nod.

“How did we leave?” she asked.

“By swimming across the river!”

“Pardon? Mr. Mie, do you mean that you swam across the river with me?”

Sarah could hardly believe that. Not only was she a non-swimmer, but she was also unconscious at that time, so she couldn’t imagine how Xiao Luo had managed to do that.

Xiao Luo couldn’t tell her that she was placed in an airtight trash can, so he decided to keep silent about that. What he was thinking about now was the shot he fired at Khun Sa earlier in the day. Why did he miss it? Was it because of the lack of accuracy since he was fired with one hand?

At that moment, Sarah approached him, and her blue eyes stared keenly at his upper body, and he was only wearing a tank top. “Mr. Mie, I clearly saw you get shot at. Why is there no sign of a gunshot?”

“You’re probably mistaken.”

Xiao Luo opened his eyes, withdrawing from the meditative state, and stood up, then he walked to the car to get a new camouflage jacket to put on.

Did she make a mistake?

How could that be possible? When his back was turned, she still smelled blood, but why was there no wound?

Sarah was very puzzled, and she felt that this man from Hua nation was terribly mysterious. Being able to carry her and survive under such heavy fire from the mercenaries was unbelievable. It seemed that as long as he was there, she would never be in any danger.

“Mr. Mie, are all soldiers from Hua nation as strong as you?”

“When you have time, come to my country and find the answer out for yourself.”

Xiao Luo slung the ammunition belt across his body, along with his short knives and personal weapons. “It should be safe here. I’m going back to the City of Brule, so you just stay here. If you are afraid, just hide in the car and lock the door. I’ll be right back, OK?”

“Are you going to kill Khun Sa?” Sarah asked.

Xiao Luo glared at her. “Sure,” he said.

“Mr. Mie, take care. God bless you!” Sarah said. Although she did not know what kind of hatred between Xiao Luo and Khun Sa, she knew there was absolutely no way to stop Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo smiled at her as he adjusted the sights on his sniper rifle and did not say anything.
