"Su Ran, have you considered the consequences?" Han Dong asked her seriously.
Su Ran took the mineral water and military dagger handed to her by Wei Lun and looked him straight in the eye: "I know the consequences, but I must try, even if there is only a one percent chance, otherwise I will never have peace in my life."
Of course she was afraid of death, very afraid, but she was more afraid of having a guilty conscience for the rest of her life.
She had promised Xiaofen, and the poor child listened to her and stood there obediently, hoping that her teacher would come to save her. She couldn't go back on her word, she couldn't do it.
Han Dong understood. He had known for a long time that she was a stubborn person, stubborn and brave. Once she made up her mind, she would never look back even if it meant death.
He said solemnly, "The mineral water bottle falling to the ground is your signal to cut the red line, and then you immediately run to the left with the child. The monkey will drive over, and you get in the car immediately. Do you understand?"
"I heard it clearly. I'm going." Su Ran went to open the door.
"Wait, your gun..."
Su Ran took out the Luger pistol from her bag and put it on her waist. She put her hand on the door handle. She turned around and smiled: "Instructor Han, if I die gloriously, you must avenge me."
Without waiting for his answer, Su Ran resolutely opened the car door and got out.
Han Dong looked at her outside the car window, his heart tightening. He silently swore in his heart: I won't let anything happen to you.
X, who was hiding in the dense forest, saw Su Ran get out of the car and couldn't help but curse under his breath... shit.
Damn woman, did she really think he didn't dare to kill her
Su Ran walked about seven or eight meters when a hole suddenly appeared on the concrete road, with gravel flying everywhere. Then she heard a gunshot, which startled her and she stopped immediately. (The bullet was supersonic, so she heard the gunshot later.)
The faces of the people in the car changed. Wei Lun and Monkey clenched their guns. Han Dong kept his eyes on the opposite hillside, and his pupils constricted.
"Wei Lun, call her back quickly." Han Dong said anxiously.
This shot was a warning. If she continued forward, the next shot would most likely hit her.
Then he called Li Wei: "Li Wei, the sniper is more than 20 meters away from the top of the mountain."
"receive."
Wei Lun opened the car window a crack and shouted, "Comrade Su Ran, come back soon."
X heard the gunshot and yelled into the intercom: "Peter, who told you to shoot?"
Peter responded: "I was just warning him."
"Idiot, you'll expose your position like this." X was furious.
If the opponent was someone else, he wouldn't be so nervous, but that was Han Dong, the opponent he needed to pay the most attention to and be wary of.
"Stop shooting, stay hidden." X ordered. He was sure that as long as Peter fired one more shot, Han Dong would be able to lock onto Peter's position. Now was not the time to start a battle, and the sniper was his greatest reliance. If he was exposed, there would be no need to fight this battle. The Chinese reinforcements were already on the way. What he wanted was a quick victory once the battle started.
Su Ran paused for a moment, then continued forward, ignoring Wei Lun's calls.
She had come this far, there was no reason to retreat.
She moved forward step by step, slowly but firmly.
Han Dong's heart was in his throat. He said solemnly, "Monkey, when you see the water bottle fall to the ground, start the car and drive to them immediately. Once they get in the car, leave as quickly as possible. I'll cover them."
"Captain, let me do it, or I'll go with you." Wei Lun said.
It was too dangerous for the captain to attract the sniper's firepower by himself. Moreover, Li Wei was searching for snipers, and Hummingbird and the others were still waiting at the corner. Once the battle started, it would take at least two minutes for Hummingbird to provide support. If he and Monkey left, the captain would be the only one left. The captain had to face the threat of sniper rifles on the right and guard against attacks from the left. He couldn't leave the captain alone.
"Why are you talking so much? Just obey my orders." Han Dong's face was fierce and his tone was irresistible and resolute.
"But… "
"No buts, if you don't obey my orders, I'll kill you when I get back."
Wei Lun had no choice but to shut up.
There were no more gunshots. Su Ran walked to Xiaofen smoothly, squatted down, smiled and touched Xiaofen's head: "Xiaofen, you are an obedient and brave child."
"Teacher, has the problem been solved?" Xiaofen opened her big watery eyes with expectant eyes.
"As long as you listen to the teacher, we can go home soon." Su Ran unscrewed the cap of the water bottle and handed it to her, whispering: "When the teacher asks you to throw it away, you let go immediately and throw the bottle away, okay?"
Xiaofen nodded vigorously.
Su Ran deliberately turned slightly to the side, glanced at the location of the red line, pulled Xiaofen into her arms, and exposed her back to the threat of the sniper rifle to ensure Xiaofen's safety, while also covering up the bomb disposal.
Su Ran touched Xiaofen's face with one hand and pretended to help Xiaofen tidy up her clothes. Her hand moved down to Xiaofen's chest. The four-inch long dagger that was pressed against her palm and wrist hooked the red line on the bomb. Her heartbeat suddenly quickened. Su Ran held her breath and as quickly as possible, she pulled her left hand back from behind Xiaofen to grab the red line. She picked it up with her right hand and shouted... Throw.
The moment the water bottle left Xiaofen's hand, Monkey started the SUV and stepped on the accelerator. At the moment the wheels rolled, Han Dong jumped out of the car and rolled sideways, while Su Ran in front pulled Xiaofen and ran to the left.
Peter was originally aiming at Su Ran and the child, but the sudden sound of a car engine drew his attention. Seeing someone jump out of the SUV, he instinctively pulled the trigger.
But he missed. The man rolled sideways like a swift cheetah and leaped into the woods in two quick strides. Peter kept sniping.
X was looking at the time. There were seven seconds left before the agreed five minutes. At this moment, the roar of a car engine was heard, followed by gunshots. X quickly picked up the telescope and saw Su Ran picking up the child and stuffing the child into the SUV. Another person jumped out from the passenger seat of the SUV, and the car drove away quickly.
The whole process takes no more than seven seconds, and is completed in one go with perfect coordination.
X quickly pressed the remote control, but there was no explosion, and the off-road vehicle had already turned the corner and disappeared.
Damn, I got fooled.
X was so angry that he exploded. Needless to say, it was the woman who dismantled the bomb. He didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of a woman today.
"Hit him, hit him hard." X ordered.
Intensive gunfire echoed throughout the valley.
Wei Lun escaped into the forest safely. Suddenly he heard a noise behind him. He turned around and raised his gun to shoot, but found it was Su Ran.
"Su Ran, why are you still here? Why don't you leave?" Wei Lun was stunned.
"I... I..." Su Ran didn't know what to say.
She wanted to leave! But the monkey was too quick, and the car drove away before she could get in, so she had to hide in the woods.
The next chapter is going to be a bit tragic, so be prepared!
