Chapter 2023: Fighting in Ruins
"Well done, cowboy!" Crazy Horse gasped in the communication channel. Net ≈
"That's all I can do for you, man. They caught up again, and I couldn't take aim. Snake-Eyes said loudly.
"Keep walking, go to Rick, I'll cover you up!" A Black Island Company mercenary with a scar on his face jumped out of the bushes next to him, pulled out a rocket catapult, and fired. The rockets arced in orange and carried a fierce hot wind, destroying the armed vehicles in the distance. The Society's pursuits were unstoppable.
"Thank you. Snakeeye nodded, picked up his heavy sniper rifle, and turned to run off into the distance with his head down.
The battle situation on Lin Rui's side was not at all easier than theirs. Although he and a few mercenaries managed to retreat into the ruins, they were surrounded by a small group of Secret Order forces. Several men occupied a dilapidated building, firing at the outside, covering the rest of the group. In the midst of a fierce battle, a black oval sphere broke through the window and landed on the ground with a thud, rolling continuously.
"Grenade! Hide!" Lin Rui poked out half of his head from behind, and happened to see this thing fall to the ground, so he immediately dragged another mercenary to hide in a dead corner, and shouted a warning.
With a loud bang, the grenade exploded on its own. The huge air currents blew the entire window away, and one of the mercenaries was pushed straight out of the window. Countless shrapnel shot in all directions with a strong initial shot like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, like a torrential rain, and shrapnel was everywhere in every corner of the room, on the walls, and on the ground.
A mercenary beside Lin Rui was pulled by him, and he didn't think much about it, so he hurriedly pulled back, but this mercenary was still a little slower, and shrapnel rained down all over the world. With a whoosh, a shrapnel shot into his hand, sharp shrapnel pierced his palm, and blood slowly soaked out along the back of his hand.
"Oh my God!" the mercenary howled in pain. But at the moment, he can't care so much about it, he has to go.
The mercenary stood up in pain, pressed against the wall with his other hand, and his right hand, wounded by the shot, slowly moved up the wall, and the gray wall was dyed red in its path. He felt a steel drill devouring his heart, and every centimeter that moved his wounded hand upwards was a centimeter of pain that invaded his heart. Suddenly, an even more intense pain spread through his body, and he couldn't help but shiver. Looking down, a cyan tendon popped out of the back of his hand, and he could clearly see it throbbing abruptly.
"Don't look at it!" Lin Rui grabbed him and helped him wrap around the wound, "Hold it down hard, don't lose too much blood." Go, the other brethren still need our cover. The mercenary nodded, his face pale. Take advantage of the opportunity for him to bandage his wounds. Lin Rui lowered his head and installed a trickery mine in the ruined room, and then pulled this mercenary to evacuate together.
The armed men of the Order who threw grenades outside had already touched the house that was about to collapse, flashed to the door from left to right, listened to the silence inside, kicked open the door, jumped into the door, divided into two ways, with their guns and their backs hunched, carefully searched every corner of the room, and from time to time suddenly turned the muzzle of the gun and looked vigilantly in the opposite direction.
Another group of Secret Society militants entered the house through the back door, discreetly carrying his weapons, and he was sure to let these mercenaries die.
The messy room was empty, and Lin Rui didn't know where they had gone. 、
Suddenly, one of the Secret Order militants heard a noise in the hall and hurriedly turned around, holding his gun on his shoulder, ready to shoot at any moment. The other party seemed to hear his voice as well, and suddenly it stopped, and the room was as silent as death. After confronting each other for a long time, the Secret Order militants finally lost their breath and moved forward cautiously little by little. The other party's voice also sounded, equally cautious, equally tentative and hesitant. The click and clatter, the peculiar sound of footsteps on the broken glass that covered the floor, little by little, moved closer.
Suddenly, several black lines crossed, three jet-black muzzles were pointed at each other, and three figures appeared in the living room at the same time. It was dark, there was silence, there was no gunshot, not even the sound of breathing. The three guns hung down at the same time. On the other side were several other Secret Society fighters.
"Damn, you're freaking us out. ”
"You guys scared me!"
As they exhaled at the same time, complaining to each other, neither of them noticed that a soap-like thing was sticking to the corner, and the timer was activated, and the C4 bomb exploded desperately. The blast pushed the Shrines several meters away, with a sea of fire behind them. In the rising fireball, the house was completely reduced to nothing.
Madness rushed into the ruins with guns, and Scarface, the group B Scarface who had covered Snake Eyes just now, also ran out of the bushes and raised his gun to cover their retreat.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" several other Black Island mercenary pickup trucks roared in. Lincoln, the captain of Group B, twisted the steering wheel desperately, and the car was almost sideways on the road, and the tires rubbed against the ground with a sharp and screeching sound, and the car stirred up a thick cloud of dust, blocking their view.
Lincoln sat in the car, nervously looking back. A pair of hands sometimes grabbed the window, sometimes stopped in mid-air, at a loss. Several times I tried to open my mouth to speak, but I couldn't say anything. Lin Rui opened the car door, pulled him down, and said in a low voice, "Are you injured?" ”
Lincoln shook his head and glanced at his body, he was covered in blood but no pain, and even if he was really injured, he couldn't feel the pain at the moment. "We've lost at least a third of our people. Lincoln said hard.
"Calm down, calm down. You're going to be okay. Lin Rui patted him and said.
"No, I have something. They want to kill us! Nine of my squad are dead!" Lincoln said, thinking of the horrors of his companion's death. Just now, right in front of his eyes. There were tears in the eyes of this tough guy.
"Listen to me, but you're alive, I'll keep you safe, and the others! Lin Rui grabbed his shoulder and said.
Hearing this, Lincoln gradually calmed down and looked up at him.
"You're hurt. Lin Rui looked at Lincoln and said, "Come down, treat the wound, and then we plan how to get out."
Lincoln was reminded by him that he felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder.
"There's a first aid kit under the seat, help me. Sergei walked up to him. Lin Rui took out the medicine box from under the seat, handed it to him, and carefully bandaged Lincoln.
