"Hang on, Ah'Hao. We will get out of here soon." Yun Lintian was anxious upon seeing Lei Hao was still bleeding. He scanned the surroundings desperately, trying to find a way to get out of this forest safely.
Suddenly, his gaze landed on a figure leaning against the tree. Yun Lintian's entire body immediately froze on the spot, staring at the figure in a daze.
Tu Feng had also paused his movement and followed Yun Lintian's gaze. His body trembled violently upon seeing the figure. "B-brother Kai?"
Coming back to his sense, Yun Lintian quickly rushed toward the figure. His whole body shook as he confirmed this figure was indeed Xiao Kai. He reached his trembling hand out to touch Xiao Kai's lifeless body with red eyes. "Ah'Kai…"
Silence blanketed the three. Even Lei Hao had completely forgotten the pain on his thighs. They kept staring at Xiao Kai without uttering a word.
Yun Lintian suppressed the grief in his heart and began to check Xiao Kai's body. His brows were involuntarily knitted together when he saw the fatal wound on the latter's chest. Judging from the injury, Xiao Kai should be shot in close range.
Yun Lintian quickly looked around and discovered a small figure lying on the ground nearby. This small figure was clearly a kid. But when Yun Lintian saw the gun in the kid's hand, his face immediately turned cold. He seemed to understand everything now.
"This… this kid was among the group we rescued back then." Lei Hao said with an ashen expression. He didn't expect the one who killed his brother was actually the kid he saved.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTu Feng's eyes turned red as he saw this. Guilty gradually occupied his heart. If he didn't leave Xiao Kai to take care of the group of children. Perhaps everything wouldn't have ended like this.
Yun Lintian was silent for a moment and turned to Tu Feng. "Can you carry Ah'Kai? We will send him home."
Tu Feng wiped the tears from his eyes and stepped forward, carefully picking Xiao Kai's cold body up.
As they were about to leave, Lei Hao suddenly noticed a movement in the distance. He notified Yun Lintian and Tu Feng, and the three of them quickly hid behind the trees nearby.
Soon, a slender figure swiftly shuttled through the forest path and appeared before Yun Lintian.
"It's Yaoyao." Yun Lintian heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xia Yao was safe and sound. He quickly stepped out and said. "Here, Yaoyao."
Xia Yao halted her step and raised the gun toward Yun Lintian's position. A moment later, she let out a long breath and walked toward him. However, when she saw Xiao Kai's body on Tu Feng's shoulder, her body froze on the spot for a moment before regaining her sense.
Yun Lintian stepped forward and said. "Are you alright?"
Xia Yao smiled faintly. "I'm fine. They gave up halfway. I bet Miss Lynn has already arrived here."
Yun Lintian slowly nodded his head. However, he somehow felt something wrong, but he could not pinpoint out.
Xia Yao glanced at Lei Hao's wounds and said. "Let's go out. We need to treat Ah'Hao as soon as possible."
Yun Lintian nodded and led everyone out of the forest by taking the previous path.
The moment they were about to reach the edge of the forest, Yun Lintian suddenly felt uneasy and hurriedly shouted. "Get down!"
Xia Yao and Tu Feng didn't doubt Yun Lintian's command. They hastily got down onto the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Consecutive explosions suddenly occurred around the forest. The explosive flames quickly spread out, forming a ring of fire that surrounded the entire forest.
Yun Lintian's face became unsightly. Undoubtedly, Zhu Ding had calculated everything and specially prepared this trap for him.
The fire burned vigorously and constantly narrowed down. Coupled with the strong wind blowing, it won't be long before the fire could reach Yun Lintian's position.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLei Hao saw this scene. He turned to look at Yun Lintian and said. "Boss, leave me here. You have to bring Sister Rain and Ah'Feng out now."
"What the hell are you saying? I won't leave anyone here. Shut the hell up and leave everything to me." Yun Lintian yelled angrily. His mind spun rapidly as he looked at the firewall in the distance.
Lei Hao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no word came out in the end. He knew very well it was easy for Yun Lintian to get out of this place by himself. However, it was entirely different if Yun Lintian had to carry him along.
"Boss, why don't you let me lead in the front? You and Sister Rain just run after me." Tu Feng expressed his idea. His idea was simple. He would act as a shield for Yun Lintian and Xia Yao. Although it probably won't be much of help, it was better than nothing.
Yun Lintian shook his head. "No. Let me do it." He stood up and used a rope to tie Lei Hao on his back before saying. "Protect your head as much as possible, understand?"
Lei Hao nodded his head and said nothing.
Yun Lintian found a small bottle of water that was reserved as an emergency supply and poured it on Lei Hao's head. Meanwhile, Xia Yao and Tu Feng had also done the same.
What Yun Lintian didn't know was that, at this moment, someone was aiming a rifle at his group from a small hill not far away from the forest. This person was no other than the middle-aged man Zhu Ding had specially arranged for him to do this job. His name was Chi Yuan, one of the top snipers in the Dragon Soul team.
He glanced at a tablet nearby him to check on Yun Lintian's position before turning his gaze back to the scope. The reason why he could pinpoint Yun Lintian's position was that there was something on Xiao Kai's body.
That was right.. The Dragon Soul team had discovered Xiao Kai's body a long time ago and secretly hid a locator in his body.
