Chapter 778: Chapter 347: Brutal Combat

The dust-covered clothes swayed back and forth under the barrage of bullets.

"Thud——!"

"Hit one!"

Ling Yousong truly lived up to his reputation as the army’s sharpshooter.

This shot, once again, stirred the battlefield into a fierce confrontation. Zhou Yu’s eyes widened suddenly, eager to rush out directly, "The box! I saw the box! A foreign armed group is trying to seize it! Gu Ji, Gao Bo, cover me!"

Before he could finish speaking, he grabbed a hand grenade from his waist and tossed it backward.

Taking advantage of the explosion, he dashed out of the room in a flash.

"Zhou..."

Gu Ji wanted to tell him that he was too reckless, especially since they couldn’t even confirm if the box was real, but the situation left no room for thought.

At the moment Ling Yousong and Zhou Yu dashed out, the Japanese armed group from behind started to take action.

He seized the opportunity, instantly taking down one of them with a shot and continued firing to suppress them from behind.

Meanwhile.

Zhou Yu and Ling Yousong dashed along the left wall to the front, taking cover behind a load-bearing column. The PM mercenaries and the armed group with the black box were less than 15 meters away across a flower bed.

They seemed to sense that someone was approaching from behind.

Out of the original five foreign armed personnel, three turned simultaneously with guns, beginning to fire frantically at Zhou Yu and Ling Yousong, apparently planning to eliminate the tail first before seizing the box.

"Gao Bo! Watch the rear!"

Seeing the two nearly pinned down with no safe space, Gu Ji shouted and rushed out.

As he moved out.

A foreign armed personnel suddenly threw a hand grenade, which hit the wall and bounced down.

"Run——!"

With the unpredictable landing of the bouncing grenade, Zhou Yu and Ling Yousong had no time to kick it away and could only gamble their lives, leaping towards the other side of the sidewalk to get as far away from the explosion as possible.

But on the opposite side was the foreign armed squad!

Experienced soldiers reacted quickly, raising their guns to fire at the two.

In a life-and-death moment, Gu Ji almost simultaneously put his shoulder against the gun and fired madly, instantly killing one of the foreign armed personnel.

But no matter how fast he reacted, he couldn’t be faster than a bullet.

As Ling Yousong hit the ground, several bullets "thumped" into his back. Despite the soft body armor he wore, it couldn’t withstand the 5.56mm caliber HK416F assault rifle, and blood spurted out, blossoming like flowers.

With his dying instinct, he held Zhou Yu tightly.

Zhou Yu could only be forced to use his brother’s body as a shield, single-handedly firing upward at the armed personnel.

The commotion drew the attention of two other armed personnel, who also turned and began firing.

"Ling Yousong! Zhou Yu! Aahhh!!"

With two team members on the verge of death, Gu Ji’s eyes turned red with rage, his throat emitting a long roar as he squeezed the trigger to the end, sprinting across the street towards the opposite side.

The armed personnel were all taken down to the ground.

Seeing one remaining, the "click" of an empty chamber on his HK416 suddenly sounded.

The gun was out of bullets!

At that moment, even the opponent might have hesitated for a second.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Ji released the rifle, swiftly drew a Glock 19 from his waist, and without time to aim, fired frantically at the armed personnel in front of him from the hip, "Bang bang bang bang!"

Instantly switching from rifle to handgun!

Firing four or five shots in a row!

Taking down the armed personnel, Gu Ji immediately raised his pistol, gripping it firmly with both hands, and fired two precise shots to kill him.

After checking all the armed personnel and confirming no survivors, he holstered the Glock 19, then shrugged his left shoulder. The M4 rifle strapped to his back slid to the front automatically. While holding the gun on alert, he walked over to Zhou Yu, "Zhou Yu! Ling Yousong!"

"Ugh..."

Zhou Yu crawled out from the pool of blood, struggling to get up from under Ling Yousong.

At this moment, his face was covered in grime and blood. He gritted his teeth against the intense pain, and with Gu Ji’s support, he sat against the flower bed wall, looking at Ling Yousong’s body riddled with bullets in front of him, tears welling up in his eyes, yet not saying a word.

Indeed.

Ling Yousong was dead.

"Gu Ji."

"Zhou Yu, stay strong."

Gu Ji didn’t know what he should say at the moment.

This was an utterly asymmetric battle, where the enemy was without exception elite soldiers specially trained, posing a danger far beyond Northern Myanmar. No one knew where a bullet might suddenly appear from in the next moment.

Just like Ling Yousong couldn’t predict the sudden grenade thrown by the enemy.

"No, I’m not telling you this, listen, our Xia Kingdom’s armed support group is actually part of the Golden Shield Plan, and you, the special forces protecting the Puli Group, I just didn’t expect you to arrive with your team in advance, cough cough... I took hits to my left shoulder and side ear, and I no longer have the ability to face the enemy head-on. Gu Ji, you and Gao Bo are now the only hope for our Xia Kingdom. The briefcase is right upfront. I will fight to the death to create an opportunity for you to advance. Once you get the case, you can hand it over to any other force, then find a way to leave here alive and go find, go find the embassy’s..."

"Don’t say it, Zhou Yu."

Gu Ji only felt a sourness at the tip of his nose and forcibly interrupted him.

Honestly, Gu Ji was already mentally prepared for the first point Zhou Yu mentioned.

Back when they countered the dual sniper blockade and successfully rendezvoused with the two, Zhou Yu’s voice, and the exchange of glances with Ling Yousong were complex, a mixture of surprise, or rather, not that surprised.

Zhou Yu’s willingness to sacrifice himself to complete the mission.

It was indeed moving.
