My Little Poplar - Chap 57

Chen Jing whispered over the radio: “Xinyu, you’re breathing too loudly.”

Bai Xinyu pursed his lips, in his hand was a 9 5 assault rifle, it was the only gun they had, he had used it to beat Yu Fengcheng in a shooting competition, in that last, crucial round of moving targets, he knew it well, he would get it right, he would hit the target! He took a deep, quiet breath, feeling his fevered brain calm down a little, he crouched down in the grass, keeping the weeds out of his way and searched for the enemy hiding behind the shadows of the trees.

Yu Fengcheng whispered: “Take cover.” He and Chen Jing suddenly burst through the grass and the gunfire continued to ring out.

Bai Xinyu locks in his sights on a soldier leaving the cover of a tree, his index finger rubbed the trigger, his mind goes blank for a moment, it’s the first time he’s ever aimed at a living person, it’s not a chest ring, it’s not a beer bottle, it’s a living, moving person, it’s fast, much faster than a moving target but… Much slower than a beer bottle thrown in the air! Bai Xinyu jerked the trigger, there was a bang, the man in the sights was shot in the chest, white smoke came out immediately, blocking Bai Xinyu’s view for a moment. Bai Xinyu’s heart was beating so fast, he wanted to shout with excitement, he had hit it! He’s taken out an “enemy”! What a rush! What a thrill!

Yu Fengcheng’s low voice came over the headset, “Well done.”

Bai Xinyu rolled out of the grass, away from his original position, creeping towards the enemy, white smoke continued to rise from the woods, not sure if it was from the enemy or his own people, the smoke obstructed Bai Xinyu’s vision, he couldn’t tell for a moment if it was the enemy that was not yet “dead”, he could only move away from them. “He could only get closer.

As he crept forward quickly, he suddenly felt a movement in the grass to his right, he looked keenly in that direction, he could see a wavering kettle, without thinking he raised his gun and fired a shot in that direction, the other man’s shot rang out at the same time, it exploded in his ears, white smoke rose in front of him, Bai Xinyu Xinyu looked at himself in panic, thankfully, he’s not hit!

The smouldering man stood up, his face is helpless.

Bai Xinyu smiles smugly at him and continues to crawl on.

Suddenly, the sound of another motorbike is heard in the distance, he turned his head and saw Liang Xiaomao and Da Xiong coming at him on their motorbikes, with the two smoking ‘dead’ men in front of them as meat shields.

Chen Jing shouted: “Xiaomao, 11 o’clock!”

Guns bang, bang, bang, bang, Yu Fengcheng and Chen Jing and the others push several enemies back, Liang Xiaomao in his car gives them cover, allowing them to take out several enemies in one fell swoop.

“Xinyu, jump down!”

Bai Xinyu “kills” another enemy, ran down the hill, jumped onto the motorbike, the bike is soon overloaded, Liang Xiaomao pulled over, pushed the two “dead men “Thank you, brother.”

A “dead man” says “”Hey, my cigarettes, leave me one at least.”

Da Xiong shook the packet of cigarettes and said, “Here’s the booty!”

With that, the motorbike carried the eight men forward, soon leaving the soldiers and gunfire far behind them.

“This is the first time I’ve known this bike to be so loaded, hey, don’t crowd me.”

“You don’t squeeze me, I’m going to fall off.”

“Why don’t I just pull you by the rope and run.”
