Chapter 914: Steely Determination
"Xiao Liang!" Hearing the explosion from behind, Luo Bing couldn't help but cry out, tears streaming uncontrollably like floodgates opening.
The other team members were also heartbroken, but they could only swallow their grief and continue to protect the group of engineers and the medical team.
"We won't run anymore!" Mr. Chen, aged and crying like a child, said, "Xiao Luo, you should leave, don't worry about us. With your skills, you'll surely be able to escape. We would only be a burden to you."
"Mr. Chen, let's go!" Luo Bing wiped away his tears, "If we don't leave now, Xiao Liang's sacrifice will be meaningless. Go—"
The people of the Crow Gang were stunned by Jiang Xiaoliang's explosion, and it took them a while to snap back to reality: "Let's continue the chase; otherwise, we can't explain when we go back!"
"Yes, quickly chase them!"
A large group rushed toward Luo Bing's team; they were all fighters, naturally not lacking in stamina.
But the engineers and medical team were just ordinary people; how could they possibly outrun them?
"Mr. Chen, you take everyone and go, run as far as you can!" Luo Bing roared, "You must hold out until our reinforcements arrive, hurry! Brothers, let's fight these scum!"
Luo Bing stopped, and the other Yanhuang Team members stopped too, with a resolve to fight to the death, launching active attacks against the Crow Gang members.
"Fall back, let's retreat!" Mr. Chen wiped his tears and shouted, "Even if we can't help, we won't drag them down!"
The small forest echoed with the sound of gunfire, consecutive shots rang out, and people were hit and fell.
If not for the many trees in the small forest acting as cover, the Yanhuang team would have been wiped out long ago.
But even with the trees as cover, they couldn't stop the sacrifice of the Yanhuang team members.
Several dozen Crow Gang members fell, but several Yanhuang team members also went down.
The firepower of the two sides was not at the same level at all; the gap was simply too large.
Bang!
Luo Bing was shot in the knee and fell directly to the ground, others were also hit, either dying or injured!
The gunfire stopped; the Crow Gang members knew the battle was over, but they still did not dare to advance quickly, instead moving forward slowly, layer by layer.
It wasn't until they got close that they discovered a group of unarmed people, hand in hand, forming a circle around the dozen Yanhuang team members, glaring at them angrily!
"To kill them, you'll have to step over our dead bodies!" Mr. Chen said, tears in his eyes, angrily scolding.
"To kill them, you'll have to step over our dead bodies!" everyone shouted in unison, gritting their teeth.
"You all..." At this moment, Luo Bing seemed to understand the meaning behind his squad's sacrificial rescue efforts.
Yanhuang Team protected them, and now it's their turn to protect Yanhuang Team.
Even if they were unarmed, they still used their fragile bodies to shield the Yanhuang Team!
The Crow Gang members were extremely shocked; it was the first time they'd seen such a united and courageous group.
For a moment, they even entertained the thought of retreating.
But they quickly returned to reality; they were ordered either to bring these people back or kill them all. That was their boss's command!
"You don't want to leave, is that it?" a Crow Gang member, with a gun pressed against Mr. Chen's head, said viciously, "I'll count to three. If you don't move, you'll all die here! Three, two, one!"
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, but it was the Crow Gang member with the gun to Mr. Chen's head who was shot dead!
Bang bang bang bang...
A burst of dense gunfire broke out, scattering the Crow Gang members in disarray, stumbling, crying out: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Quick, hide behind the hostages, they won't dare take risks!"
Someone shouted, and the Crow Gang members thought to use Mr. Chen and the others as human shields.
But dreams are beautiful, reality is skinny.
Three people descended from the sky, wielding swords, swiftly dispatching those Crow Gang members who approached the hostages.
A group of over a hundred was wiped out in less than a minute!
When Mr. Chen saw Yang Yu, even if he didn't know Yang Yu, he recognized that Yang Yu had a Xia Country face: "You... you finally made it..."
"We made it." Yang Yu nodded, "I'm sorry, we came as fast as we could, but we're still late. There'll be time to talk later; I'll treat our wounded first."
Yang Yu walked to Luo Bing, extracted the bullet from Luo Bing, and quickly sprinkled Golden Healing Powder on it.
Rena's mercenaries also immediately started treating the few remaining Yanhuang team members, to rescue the injured as quickly as possible.
"You're Yang Yu." Luo Bing said shakily, "Thank you."
The reason Luo Bing thanked Yang Yu was because she knew Yang Yu was an out-of-team member of the Yanhuang Team.
A temporary worker putting in such effort to save them, she naturally had to express gratitude.
"We're almost like family, no need to be polite," Yang Yu said. "Let's head to the beach; I've prepared a boat to get us out of here."
Luo Bing nodded: "Okay."
The group headed back, and when Luo Bing saw Jiang Xiaoliang, who had been blown to pieces by a grenade, her emotions collapsed: "Xiao Liang—"
Although no one told Yang Yu about the relationship between the two, he could guess about seventy to eighty percent; they were either lovers or spouses.
Watching one's lover die is one of life's most cruel events.
"Sigh!" Yang Yu sighed, casually pulling out the Dark Holy Scripture.
A wisp of black energy flew out of Jiang Xiaoliang's remains and entered the Dark Holy Scripture.
"Luo Bing, let's go." Yang Yu said, "We can talk after we get aboard the ship."
Yang Yu led everyone back to the city port, just in time to see a large group of mercenaries pointing guns at their yacht and shouting.
These mercenaries were wearing uniform outfits, they should be a major force within Guinea Bay.
Knowing that Yang Yu didn't understand, a translator accompanying the group said: "They're shouting for the people on the yacht to come ashore, or they'll open fire."
Yang Yu said coldly, "Tell them if they don't get lost, they'll all die here!"
The translator repeated Yang Yu's words to the mercenaries, who then noticed Yang Yu's group's presence, acting as if they faced a formidable enemy, promptly raising their guns.
A captain shouted in English, "Who are you?"
"We are from Xia Country. This ship is for taking our people home." Yang Yu also replied in English, "If you're willing to step aside, I'll give you a passage fee, consider it making a friend."
The captain looked at Yang Yu suspiciously, unable to decide: "What if we're unwilling to step aside?"
"I just said, if you don't leave, you'll all die here!" Just as Yang Yu finished speaking, a red light flew past the captain's ear.
The captain didn't feel pain, but when he instinctively touched his face, he was shocked to find his hand covered in blood!
