"A thin line...... Is it? ”

Lux's whisper, which was almost murmuring, was particularly harsh in the atmosphere that suddenly fell silent, and everyone couldn't help but fall silent. However, this slightly sad atmosphere did not last long, and was broken by Lux who laughed again: "Well...... Anyway, at least we're alive now, aren't we? That's a good thing. Even though I said that, I could still feel her nervousness as I was holding her arm tightly by Lux.

I reached out and patted Lux's small hand holding my arm as if comfortingly, and then raised my head to look at Kong Wanying, Alice, and Reed in turn. Kong Wanying and Alice obviously did not relax because of Lux's 'comfort', Kong Wanying's face was still tense, and Alice was still trembling slightly.

Glancing at the calm Reed, I pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "Reed has briefly introduced the current situation just now, and in terms of the overall strength of both sides, we are undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Considering that the enemy's strength is unknown, I suggest that we first find a suitable cover to hold on, wait for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements, and then ......"

"But where do we get reinforcements?"

Before I could finish my words, Kong Wanying, who had a stiff face, couldn't help but interrupt my words, which made me look at her dissatisfied, "I'll explain to you about the reinforcements later, the first thing we need to do at present is to ensure our own safety......" As I spoke, I turned my head to look at Reed and asked seriously, "Reed, what do you think?" ”

Reed pondered for a while, and then responded quickly in a quick tone: "His Highness Qi's suggestion is very good, no matter what, the safety of His Highness Qi and His Highness Lux is the primary concern, and everything else is secondary...... However, I am afraid that there is no suitable terrain in this area as a cover, at least I have been all the way here, and there is no terrain that can be used as a cover. Later, Reed looked embarrassed.

I didn't dispute Reed's claim, because I knew very well that the road built on the mountainside had a hillside on one side and a cliff on the other. Unfortunately, the enemy who ambushed us had already occupied the powerful terrain of the hillside, and we were very sad to lean on the side of the cliff, so there was almost no suitable terrain to use as cover except for the Maffei S320 limousine I was leaning on.

Of course, we can also run to the bottom of the hill and hide, but this is not a good idea for us, because no one knows how many enemies there are, and if you hide recklessly at the bottom of the hillside, it is easy to be besieged by the enemy, and we can only see Reed as the combat power...... Well, if I had a gun, I would barely be one.

Thinking of the question of guns, I naturally asked, "Reed, do you still have a gun?" I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to keep us safe alone. ”

I didn't ask the other guards why no one had come to join me until now, because I knew very well that as the inferior side, it would be good to hold the position, and if I ran on the uncovered road, I might be killed in a few moments—not everyone had Reed's skills.

"Well, there's another one, it's just ......," Reed looked at me quizzically, "Are you going to fight yourself?" ”

Reed, who knew of my alien status, didn't doubt my abilities, even though he hadn't really seen what I was...... Besides, my previous shooting training results were quite good?

"If necessary."

I said this with a breezy look on my face, and then reached out and took the pistol that Reed handed me.

The pistol Reed handed over seemed to have been modified, it weighed a little heavier than the pistol I used in training, it resembled a Colt M1911A1, and the pitch-black body had no reflection in the sunlight, and it was obviously matte.

When I looked at it, Reed also opened his mouth to briefly introduce its performance: "It is an improved version of the Guardian K21 automatic pistol produced by the Sara family, with a muzzle caliber of 11.43mm, a total length of 2170mm, a gun weight of 2.7kg, a muzzle velocity of 427m/s, an effective range of 80m, and a magazine capacity that has been improved to hold 9 rounds, and I only brought two additional magazines." After a brief introduction, Reed took out two magazines from the inside of his clothes and handed them to me.

"27 rounds...... Barely enough...... Let's hope the number of enemies isn't too much. ”

I don't know how many enemies there are, but I don't think there are too many, and there shouldn't be more than 20 people...... Let's hope.

Thinking so, I stuffed the two magazines directly into my trouser pockets, and then patted Lux's little hand, motioned for her to let go of my hand, and then stood up, "Reed, you take a look from the back of the car to see if there are any enemies coming, and I'll go to the front of the car to take a look." Lux, you hide before the enemy finds you. ”

Hearing my instructions, although Lux, Alice, and Kong Wanying were still very nervous, they were all obedient according to my instructions, relying on the Mafei S320 limousine as a cover, and squatted under it. And after Reed answered and half-crouched to the rear of the car, I also walked quickly to the front of the car.

Before I could quietly stick out my head to observe the enemy's situation, the sound of "bang" gunfire suddenly sounded behind me, and then Reed's roar followed: "Your Highness Qi, the enemy is coming!" Before the words fell, a series of "bang, bang" gunshots rang out one after another.

I decisively turned my head to look behind me, only to see Reed, who was showing half of his body at the back of the car, was retreating quite embarrassed at this time, accompanied by the constant gunshots, I could also see a series of sparks following behind Reed, until Reed rushed forward to the side of the body, the sparks hit the body, making a muffled sound of "porphyry, porphyry".

"Your Highness Qi, Qi, the enemy not only has a pistol, but also an assault rifle......"

Reed didn't get angry, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to remind me. In fact, even if Reed hadn't reminded me, I had already guessed this possibility from the previous series of gunshots, and Reed's words only confirmed my suspicion.

"It's a bit tricky......"

Pistols and assault rifles aren't on the same level, let alone the terrain we're in without bunkers. Relying only on the Maffei S320 limousine, it is impossible to resist the enemy's attack, and I think the enemy will not be stingy enough to not even have two high-explosive grenades, but as long as you throw a few at it, you can definitely blow it up.

As I was secretly speculating about the enemy's next move, my eyes froze, and then I looked up into the air: I saw a black, oval-shaped ball falling from the sky in a graceful arc, and I could see where it landed in front of Lux almost without calculation.

"High-explosive grenades?!"

Although I haven't actually seen what the high-explosive grenade in this world looks like, if it looks like an oval shape of a grenade, it will be something like it if it is not a high-explosive grenade, so the best way is naturally - not let it fall.

"Get down!"

After loudly reminding Lux and the others to get down, I held the Guardian K21 automatic pistol with both hands, lifted it up as fast as I could, and then took a slight aim, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation. The crisp sound was accompanied by a heavy recoil, and my hands clutching the handle of the gun sank slightly, but I didn't pay attention to it at all, and after firing the shot, I kicked my legs and pounced on Lux leaning next to the Maffei S320 limousine.

My reminder stunned the group of Lux, who was already squatting, and then Kong Wanying was the first to react, when she saw me pounce on Lux, she tugged at Alice's skirt and dragged her down on her stomach. At the same time, I just happened to hug Lux in my arms......

The golden bullet propelled by the explosives had already left the muzzle of the gun and rushed towards the high-explosive grenade at a supersonic speed of more than 400 meters per second.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed through the sky, and the flames of the grenade blew our heads golden, and the shattered shells were propelled by the thrust of the grenade blast and scattered in all directions. Some of it fell to the ground, some fell to the bottom of the car, and some fell into the deep sea beyond the cliff, and for a while, the sound of "ping pong" was connected into a piece, and it was very lively.

In a few moments, the fragments that were scattered due to the detonation of the high-explosive grenade were finally scattered, because I detonated it in advance, and thanks to our timely evasion, we were lucky not to be affected by the explosive debris, but the high heat and roar generated by the high-explosive grenade still made us feel a burst of scorching heat, and the "hum... Hum...".

When the buzzing sound in my ears gradually subsided, a chaotic but crisp "jingle bell ......" sound vaguely came from the right side, which made me and Reed, who had already regained our hearing, change their faces, "Oops! It's a grenade! ”

If I'm not mistaken, the crisp sound is the sound of a high-explosive grenade rolling on the road, and I guess at least three high-explosive grenades landed on the other side of the Maffei S320 limousine—on our right, which is exactly the direction in which the sound came from.

After realizing this, a thin bead of sweat suddenly appeared on my forehead, and countless thoughts appeared in my mind, "It's too late......" I thought so, but I didn't hesitate in the slightest movement, I hugged Lux tightly in my arms, and immediately rolled to the left.

Even if three high-explosive grenades can't blow up the Maffei S320 limousine, it is enough to lift the Maffei S320 limousine, and as long as it falls, we can only be crushed by it if we stay in place. But even if I know that it's too late to dodge, I have to work hard to fight for a chance to survive, as for Alice, Kong Wanying and others, I really can't take care of it, after all, now I can't even protect myself.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Holding Lux, I had just flipped around, and three roars exploded from the other side of the Maffei S320 limousine, accompanied by the wind from the explosion of the grenade and rolled up a monstrous flame, the raging flames were like a demon standing tall, wrapped in flames, it stood high, spreading its wings full of flames, but in the blink of an eye, the scorching red flames completely enveloped the sky.

The Maffei S320 limousine, which was originally used as a bunker, could not withstand the impact of the three high-explosive grenades, and it was overturned by the huge thrust, and then under the impetus of this huge force, it fell down to our group who still could not escape its coverage......

I watched the chassis of the Maffei S320 luxury sedan get closer and closer to me, but there was nothing I could do, and this feeling of powerlessness made me hate my incompetence, "No matter what, you must ensure the safety of Lux!" The thought flashed through my mind like a flash, and then I pulled myself up, rolled over, and pressed Lux firmly under me, "At least...... Can't let Lux die here......"

"Kiki ......"

Lux, who was firmly pressed under me, saw the Mafei S320 limousine getting closer and closer from the gap in my neck, felt the warmth I passed to her from my arms tightly hugging her, and saw the incomparably firm will and faith in my eyes to protect her!

For a moment, Lux's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, "Kiki! ”
