My Little Poplar - Chap 58

Bai Xinyu crept down the slope, there were roots growing out of the slope, they blocked his body, he felt that the enemy might be not far above him, he hesitated to look up, just as he decided to get up, someone jumped on him, then, two shots rang out, it was their It was one of them.

Bai Xinyu was crushed and almost spits blood, he looked back, right into Yu Fengcheng’s face, Yu Fengcheng drags him down to the roots of the tree, shook his head at him, then points over his head.

The man was above their heads… Suddenly, they heard Liu Liu say loudly: “Oh brother, do you have any water, I’m dying of thirst.” He said it again, no one paid any attention to him, he asked again: “I’m thirsty, can you put me down first, my head is filling up.”

A man whispered: “Get off yourself…”

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a gunshot and the man jumped up in anger and said: “You won’t get down yourself!” he thinks he was shot.

Liu Liu smiled and said: “I’m dead, aren’t I?”

“Then how is it possible that you are talking.”

“I am not dead yet.”

Yu Fengcheng winked at Chen Jing and Da Xiong, the three counted “one, two, three” with their mouths, then crouched down and fired several shots in the direction of the sound, the shots kept coming and going, the blanks Bai Xinyu and Wang Sheng take cover, they charge forward as they fight.

Bai Xinyu said under his breath: “How many are there?”

“A dozen or so, not too many.” Yu Fengcheng took off his pack and said, “Da Xiong and I will crawl behind them from that slope, get them out.”

The two men crept back thirty metres or so, making a wide circle to the rear of the enemy, Bai Xinyu crept the barrel of his rifle out of the grass, peeking out slightly, searching the leafy forest for the enemy.

Yu Fengcheng whispered: “In position, ready?”

Bai Xinyu whispered: “Yes.”

A few thumps from the rear, Bai Xinyu is met by a barren movement in the grass not far from him, without hesitation he pulled the trigger, several shots are fired, white smoke rose from the grass, the next second, shots are fired from the grass in front of him, he rushed back to the roots of the tree, took a few breaths, then emerges again and fires into the grass. A clip of blanks is quickly discharged, Bai Xinyu neatly replaces the clip, grabbed his gun, followed Chen Jing and changes positions, continues to pin down the enemy.

Yu Fengcheng said: “We’ve taken out a few, we can retreat, they won’t dare to chase us for now.”

“Come back.”

Li Jiale said over the radio: “Liu Liu, I’ll see you later.”

Liu Liu sighed and said, “You guys go for it.”

Yu Fengcheng and Da Xiong climbed to their feet, the seven men ran forward in short stances, after a safe distance, they stood up and ran wildly, shots rang out behind them but the distance was too great, they lost their aim, they soon got a safe distance but no one dared to relax, they ran through the forest for nearly half an hour, before they lost the men behind them. They had to run through the forest for nearly half an hour, before they lost the men behind them.

They collapsed under a large tree, panting hard and feeling blindingly blind. They had only eaten one ration, some weeds and two earthworms for nearly 30 hours and drank less than 500ml of water, under such intense exercise, these calories were far from enough to cover their physical needs, they were already hungry and panicking. This, coupled with Liu Liu’s exit from the race, had left them all with a heavy heart, wondering when their turn would come.
