Chapter 159: Fleeing With A Beauty On My Back
Having already changed into a different outfit and donning a face veil, Cao Weida quickly arrived at the place where gunfire was raging. He climbed to the top of the wall and peeked into the scene from the eaves, revealing a pair of eyes.
One side was, as expected, the little devils, about ten or so in number, slowly advancing forward in a fan-shaped formation providing mutual cover.
The other side consisted of two men and one woman, three people hiding at the corner of an alley wall to fight back.
What made the three despair was that the alley was a dead-end hutong, completely impassable.
Even more despairing was that the woman’s calf seemed injured; leaning diagonally against the wall corner with one leg on the ground, she occasionally extended her pistol to shoot.
The two men among the three exchanged glances, then said a few words to the woman. She took a thing from her pocket and stuffed it into one man’s hand. After the two men exchanged looks, they charged out one after another without regard for their lives.
After the two rushed out, the woman provided fire cover regardless of her own safety, while also attracting the little devils’ attention.
With the woman’s cover, the two men ran zigzagging left and right, shooting back while running. Their marksmanship was surprisingly good, killing two little devils on the spot.
After firing a burst of bullets in retaliation, they quickly darted toward the alley entrance and into it.
However, one man was unfortunately hit in the chest just as he was about to rush into the alley; he clearly wouldn’t survive.
Seeing his companion hit, the remaining man showed no hesitation, darting into the alley without looking back and disappearing.
“Baka!! Baka yarou!!”
One little devil who looked like a sergeant bellowed angrily, shouting another sentence in Japanese. The remaining little devils turned their target toward the dead-end hutong.
Bang bang bang~~
Click click~~
The empty chamber click of the pistol made Liu Rusi’s heart sink. She quickly felt her pocket but found it empty.
Looking at the increasingly approaching little devils, Liu Rusi couldn’t help but feel despair.
Tonight, they had come to pass on intelligence, but Beiping City’s nighttime curfew enforcement was extremely strict. They were unfortunately spotted by a hidden sentry.
In their haste to pass on the intelligence, they could only retreat while fighting, but were forced into the dead-end hutong by the little devils encircling from all sides.
Originally there were eight of them. After a fierce exchange of fire, though they killed over a dozen of the enemy, their own side was left with only three, and she had been shot in the leg with no hope of escape.
Now, she was the only one left here, with not a single bullet left in her gun. Waiting for her was only the path of being captured alive.
Thinking of the fate worse than death she would face after being captured alive, Liu Rusi shuddered all over, unable to help regretting in her heart why she forgot to leave herself one last bullet?!
Seeing the little devils closing in more and more, Liu Rusi trembled all over, dragging her injured left leg and struggling to move backward, as if that could give her a sense of safety.
On the eaves, due to the dim light, he couldn’t see the woman’s appearance clearly. But since they were both resist Japan fighters and fellow compatriots, he naturally couldn’t stand by and watch her die, letting her fall into the little devils’ hands.
Having observed the situation in the field, Cao Weida pulled out his Stg44 assault rifle. With a few leaps, he silently appeared on the eaves behind the little devils, shooting down at them from above.
Da da~~ da da da~~ da da da~~
The distance between both sides was very close, even less than fifteen meters. At such a distance, the accuracy was naturally very high.
A burst of bullets swept quickly from behind the unsuspecting little devils. Several little devils didn’t even react before being shot into sieves.
“Baka! Enemy attack!”
The remaining three little devils were shocked and pale, about to scatter to find shelter for counterattack, but how could Cao Weida give them the chance?
He tossed the muzzle-searing hot assault rifle into space, quickly took out another one, and fired point shots at the little devils in the field.
Da da~~
Da da da~~
Da da·~
After two consecutive magazines of bullets, all the little devils, including that sergeant, were killed.
“What a waste.” Cao Weida felt a pang in his heart. His KPI for today was already completed; killing these little devils didn’t count toward it.
In the hutong, Liu Rusi, hearing the commotion outside, was stunned for a moment. Guessing what happened, she dragged her injured left leg to the alley entrance.
As she expected, the little devils who had surrounded them outside were all killed, their corpses lying scattered on the ground.
She looked up; on the eaves not far away, a person wrapped entirely in black night-walking clothes was leisurely changing bullets in his gun.
Her mind immediately recalled the rumors of this period: a mysterious man using an assault rifle had appeared in Beiping. Once he assassinated at the entrance of Yangzi Dance Hall, and once he attacked a little devils’ checkpoint.
The firearm in his hand was one she had never seen. Combined with the gunfire just now, she immediately judged that this person was the perpetrator of those two incidents!
She didn’t know which side this mysterious person belonged to, but she knew he was her only hope of escape.
The gunfire here was so obvious, and with so much time passed, the little devils’ reinforcements would surely arrive soon.
If they didn’t leave now, once the reinforcements arrived, they wouldn’t be able to escape even if they wanted to.
But her left leg was injured; she absolutely couldn’t run on her own. All her hope was pinned on the mysterious man opposite.
Thinking of this, she endured the pain from her calf and ran toward the opposite side.
Unfortunately, just as she exited the alley, without the wall for support, she fell to the ground at once. The large movement tore at the wound on her leg, sending a heart-piercing pain that made her let out a muffled grunt.
Cao Weida on the eaves leaped down to the ground with a few bounds. Approaching and seeing the woman’s appearance, even he, who had seen many beauties, couldn’t help feeling stunned by her looks.
The woman had an oval face with very refined features. Already quite beautiful, now with her leg injured, in pain and blood loss, her face was somewhat pale, lips dry, adding a touch of delicate fragility that made one feel pity and want to care for her tenderly.
Seeing her fall to the ground and unable to get up for the moment, he hurried forward in a few steps and helped her up. “Girl, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, I can hold on. Thank you so much.” Liu Rusi, her face pale, shook her head, gritted her teeth trying to stand. “The little devils’ reinforcements will be here soon; we must leave immediately!”
“I’ll carry you on my back. You won’t be able to walk fast like this.”
“No need. If you carry me, neither of us will be fast. Help me to a place to hide, then you leave quickly.”
As for whether she would be found during the search after this mysterious man fled, she could only leave it to fate.
“Don’t worry, my strength is decent. Your weight won’t burden me. Come, let me help you.”
“This…”
Cao Weida urged: “No time for this and that. Our time is short; hurry!”
Liu Rusi gritted her teeth and finally lay on Cao Weida’s back. If she could get far from here, she naturally didn’t want to stay nearby.
After all, even if she avoided the search, her leg gunshot wound, if not treated promptly, would eventually lead to infection and fever, ultimately being consumed by illness.
Feeling the elasticity on his back, Cao Weida felt a bit restless. Damn, this girl’s figure was really something, with amazing bounce.
Hands supporting her thighs, he exerted force with his legs, stood up, and ran toward a nearby dark hutong.
Feeling the scalding tactile sensation on her thigh, Liu Rusi, who had never had intimate contact with a man, saw her originally pale face magically flush red.
That tingling, numb feeling stimulated her to tremble all over, an odd sensation like ants crawling on her body.
But this was no time to be delicate; no matter how embarrassed, she could only grit her teeth and endure.
Just then, shouts from the little devils came from the street behind.
Cao Weida turned to look; three little devils with rifles were chasing from afar.
“Take this for self-defense. If any little devils nearby, shoot!” Cao Weida shifted his left hand from supporting her thigh to her butt, pulling a Browning pistol with his right and stuffing it into her hand.
Of course, this one wasn’t from the police station; police station guns were all registered.
“Ah!” Liu Rusi let out a startled cry, then quickly covered her mouth. The flush already on her face deepened.
This was no time to mind such things. She gripped the Browning pistol tightly; with a gun in hand, her courage grew considerably.
At that moment, two little devils with rifles burst from the alley on the right. Cao Weida snatched up the Stg44 assault rifle from his chest and instantly unleashed a burst at them.
Da da da~~
The two little devils fell to the ground at once, clearly done for.
After killing the two little devils, Cao Weida didn’t slow his pace at all; instead, he sped up, running out of the alley and into another one.
Carrying a person, Cao Weida still ran incredibly fast. The pursuing little devils were less than 1.5 meters tall; how could they catch up?
After just three or four hutongs, the little devils behind completely lost the trail.
On the other side, the seductive waves carrying the secret intelligence stopped after confirming no pursuers, looking back in the direction they came, suddenly feeling empty inside.
With a pained expression, he scratched his head hard, gritted his teeth, and left the area.
In his view, at this point, Liu Rusi was either dead by suicide or captured.
Whichever outcome, it was an exceptionally painful thing for him.
But he couldn’t worry about that now. He knew very clearly that he must immediately return to the safe house, pass the news upward, then quickly abandon the safe house and go silent, awaiting new orders from his superior.
After running continuously for nearly twenty minutes, Cao Weida had carried Liu Rusi far away from the gunfight location.
The woman on his back lay limply, her breathing weak. He knew this was a sign of excessive blood loss.
“Girl, how are you now? Do you know any black clinics?”
Hospitals at this time were surely under curfew lockdown, with many inside either turned or having little devils’ spies planted.
Gunshot wounds were so sensitive; naturally, they couldn’t go to big hospitals for treatment. Only black clinics were somewhat safer.
But black clinics couldn’t be guaranteed safe either; there might be little devils’ people on guard nearby.
