Chapter 249: An Unexpected Turnaround
As a supernatural person, Marwa is the strongest one present, but although she has the strength of a second-level superability, she can only be regarded as a weak category in the second-level level, after all, she is not a warrior herself, and there are not many opportunities to fight to the death, so Mawa's real strength is actually much lower than she thinks.
She's actually good at guarding, infiltrating and hand-to-hand combat, and her strength is agility, and although she is much stronger than ordinary people in terms of defense, she still can't resist bullets.
She's not a beast like the Bear-Man, who leans towards strength and defense, and can charge at the cost of enemy fire.
The enemy obviously knows her strength, knows that she is a stranger, so he is extra wary of her during the firefight, every time she makes a move, there will always be at least two guns to fire at him, and the enemy's position is relatively scattered, not giving a chance to sneak attack and complete the blow at all.
Another grenade was thrown at the restaurant, and Marwa immediately grabbed the knife next to her and threw it over, and the knife hit the grenade with precision, hitting it back the way it came, and an explosion was heard outside.
This hidden weapon is one of Marwa's unique skills, and it is also her only long-range attack skill other than shooting, but her marksmanship is very bad, and no matter how she practices, she can't improve much.
However, it was precisely because of the presence of Marwa that the crisis of several grenade attacks by the enemy was relieved.
Then, one of the guards was accidentally shot in the head and lost his life.
With one less person of his own, the already tight defense suddenly became even more precarious.
"You have to take the risk of breaking through, and if you wait any longer, you won't have a chance." Marwa said, grabbing Alice's hand.
Although she was scared, Alice still pursed her lips and nodded, her eyes showing determination, she knew that it was now a matter of life and death.
At this time, there were only four family guards and a warrior bodyguard who had just been hired for a short time in the restaurant, and the rest of them were either killed at the beginning of the ambush or died in the firefight just now.
Marwa didn't hide from them as she spoke, so they could hear each other clearly, and they knew what they were going to do next - they were going to give Alice their lives to break through.
Their expressions didn't change in the slightest, they just nodded silently.
Whether it is the family guard or the warrior bodyguard, Mawa has been screened through investigation and testing, and there is no doubt about his loyalty and reliability, and he has long been prepared to sacrifice himself.
Of course, Alice and Marwa will not treat them badly in return, and their families will be compensated and properly arranged after their deaths.
This is one of the reasons why they have no worries.
Although Alice expected such a day, Alice thought that she was ready and able to accept it calmly, but the truth told her that she was not able to do it yet.
The situation waits for no one, and the enemy will not leave her time to be sad.
After making the decision to break out, only one person was left to guard in front of the gate, and the rest of the people did not spare ammunition and stormed out of the back gate, firing bullets desperately at the enemy guarding the back door.
There are three walls outside the back door, surrounding a small courtyard, and there is a truck parked on one side of the yard, which is supposed to be used by the restaurant to buy groceries, and there is a pile of empty plastic baskets behind the car.
Unexpectedly, the caged bird dared to rush out, and the grassland hunter mercenary group blocking the back door was caught off guard by the other party.
But they reacted immediately, and immediately raised their guns to tie the color.
However, because Alice's side had already realized that it was going to die, so with the idea of death, the offensive was extremely fierce in an instant, although the hands were all light weapons, but they also beat the other party back continuously.
In fact, the experienced mercenaries could see the other party's plan at a glance, and in the face of this kind of deadly fighting, the mercenaries of the steppe hunters did not have the idea of dying with the enemy, so they fought back while retreating, and did not give the other party a chance to approach, and withdrew from the courtyard and retreated to the street in advance.
In fact, just by crossing the backyard in less than twenty meters, three people on Alice's side had already lost their lives.
Just when they wanted to rush out of the courtyard gate and continue to break through, they were blinded by the enemy's first wave of heavy gunfire, and if they had not withdrawn to the courtyard in time, they would have been completely annihilated, and even then one of them was beaten into a sieve and the other was shot in the arm.
As long as they stay outside the courtyard, they don't have to worry about the mission target being able to escape, so they are happy to trade a little space for their casualties.
But after one of the mercenaries suddenly said something loudly, the rest of the men reopened their legs and slowly approached the backyard of the restaurant as they fired.
They probably remembered that the mission had been carried out for a while, and there was not much time left for them, and the mercenary who spoke loudly was not young, forty or fifty years old and seemed to be a team leader, so everyone else listened to his command.
At this time, there were also a series of gunshots in the restaurant, and it seemed that the battle in the backyard was finally discovered by the mercenaries outside the front door.
At this time, in addition to Marva, there was only one family guard and a warrior bodyguard left by Alice's side, all of whom were wounded, even Alice.
Marva pulled Alice to her side, and she jerked herself to her feet in between enemy shots, popping out from behind the courtyard wall, and stabbing a dinner knife into the throat of one of the mercenaries with a flick of her hand.
As soon as she squatted down, at least five or six bullets whizzed by, almost grazing her head.
Although Marwa managed to kill one of the enemies, there were still far more enemies than them, and they did not help much in the current plight, and there was no hope of escape.
Marwa turned her head to meet Alice's eyes, and they were silent to each other, but they both read each other's hearts from each other's eyes.
"Sister Marwa... Thank you. Alice stopped talking, and finally just spit the words out of her mouth softly.
After going through the ups and downs, Alice seems to have grown a lot, and she has become more mature, at this time she feels that she is at peace in her heart, and she has been able to face death calmly.
Looking at Alice, who had become more resolute, Marwa felt both relieved and uncomfortable, but not being able to fulfill her promise to protect the other party filled her heart with guilt and unwillingness.
"Alice—" Marwa didn't know how to respond, as if she had suddenly lost the ability to speak.
Just as the two of them were in despair, preparing for the worst, a sudden gunshot rang out from the side of the street not far away.
Gunfire rang out one after another, and the mercenaries were killed one by one, and every time one of them tried to turn around and shoot back, they were killed by a bullet.
After several of their companions were killed, the rest immediately sought cover and fired back.
But it still didn't work, the man was wearing an oversized police uniform, tall, with a bright bald head, and his hand holding the gun was as steady as a rock, and he could not lift the head of a large group of mercenaries with one shot.
By the time the man reached the backyard gate, the steppe hunters had already killed two-thirds of their men, and the remaining third were temporarily too frightened to show their heads.
"Officer Jones!?" Seeing Jones walk in through the courtyard gate, Marva had a look of shock on her face.
Since the last deal at the abandoned factory outside Greentown failed (Alice had privately agreed with Scola to let him make a deal on her behalf), the Jones officer had come to the door to inquire about the situation, and since it was Marwa who received him personally, he still had an impression of him.
However, the conversation was not very pleasant, and there was no lack of spy and explicit and implicit mappings in the other party's words, and he seemed to know a lot about what was happening in the abandoned factory.
But Marwa didn't know that this police officer, who was not polite, could have such a powerful marksmanship.
