Envious

Sha Lu, his face pockmarked, saw that Zheng Bin and the others were gone, leaving only him at the scene. A greedy expression immediately appeared on his face. As long as he could take out Gu Yi, the stuff would be his. Although he was on the same side as Zheng Bin, that didn't mean they were of one mind. As the saying goes, people die for wealth just as birds die for food. Sha Lu then carefully crept toward Gu Yi. At this moment, Gu Yi also noticed Sha Lu creeping toward him and muttered despairingly to himself. "It's over!" Time passed second by second. Sha Lu inched closer to Gu Yi, the gun muzzle always aimed at him; as soon as Gu Yi dared to show his head, he would fire immediately. Gu Yi was now sweating profusely. He had never felt time pass so agonizingly. He grew increasingly unwilling in his heart, but could only quietly await death. Just then, a gunshot suddenly rang out. Gu Yi was startled, then poked his head out to see Sha Lu fall, turning into white light and leaving behind a backpack. Immediately after, he saw Long Ming vault directly down from the stairs on the other side, landing steadily on the ground, and quickly running toward him. "Brother!" Gu Yi shouted excitedly. At this moment, Long Ming rushed to Gu Yi's side and asked concernedly. "Are you okay?" "My left foot got shot. It hurts like hell. What kind of lousy game is this? So realistic!" Gu Yi complained while enduring the pain. Long Ming glanced at Gu Yi's left foot and saw it was still bleeding. He immediately reached out, grabbed Gu Yi's clothes, forcibly tore off a piece, and tied it around the wound to reduce blood loss. "We need to evacuate quickly. Those people will be chasing us soon." Long Ming had just finished speaking. Zheng Bin and the other two came charging, running down from the upper stairs. Seeing Long Ming helping Gu Yi, they all raised their guns and shouted. "Bastard, take him out!" Long Ming immediately grabbed Gu Yi, dodging around the statue's circular base. Bang bang! Bullet after bullet struck the base, sparks flying everywhere. Dodging the gunfire, Long Ming immediately raised his single-shot rifle, poked his body out, and fired. Bang! The bullet instantly grazed past Zheng Bin's head. Zheng Bin was instantly scared and retreated backward, while panic-stricken he raised his gun and fired at Long Ming. Long Ming's shot missed, so he immediately ducked back behind the base, quickly ejecting the spent casing and reloading. Immediately after, he took a deep breath, poked his body out again, and forcefully pulled the trigger. Bang! Sun Wu was instantly headshot and fell down. Zheng Bin and Wu Kang were instantly startled, immediately retreating and hiding behind two metal trash cans. "Awesome! Brother, only two left." Seeing Long Ming take out another one, Gu Yi shouted excitedly. However, at this moment Long Ming said in a low voice to Gu Yi. "I only have one bullet left. Do you have any bullets?" "Ah, I'm out too." Gu Yi's mood was like riding a roller coaster, plummeting straight from the clouds into a deep valley. For a moment, Long Ming also felt it was very troublesome. One bullet definitely couldn't take out two people. As for closing in, the difficulty was also great, and hand-to-hand combat didn't guarantee victory either. On the other side, Wu Kang asked Zheng Bin very nervously. "Brother Zheng, what do we do now?" "You go call people. I'll watch them." Zheng Bin's expression grew increasingly grim. He hadn't expected Gu Yi's new companion to be so strong. Three of their five had been killed, and just the two of them might end up being counter-killed. "Okay!" Hearing Zheng Bin's words, Wu Kang immediately turned and ran. Hearing the movement, Long Ming poked his head out and immediately saw Wu Kang turn and run. Bang! At this moment Zheng Bin directly raised his single-shot rifle and fired at Long Ming, who had poked his head out. Long Ming hurriedly shrank back, and the bullet struck the base directly. "What's wrong?" Seeing Long Ming's very serious expression, Gu Yi hurriedly asked. "One got away. He's probably going to call for reinforcements." Long Ming speculated with a grim face. "So what do we do now?" "We can only withdraw. I'll help you walk!" "Forget it. That guy has us in his sights. If you bring me, we definitely can't get away. You withdraw by yourself quickly." Gu Yi shook his head without hope. Long Ming's expression changed for a moment, then he lowered his voice and said. "I have a way!" "What way?" Gu Yi was also stunned and looked at Long Ming, astonished. "We can use this statue to block their line of sight and crawl backward on our hands!" "That seems possible!" "Let's go!" Long Ming then got down on the ground with Gu Yi. The two of them calculated the angle and crawled backward inch by inch using their hands. Although Gu Yi's foot was injured, his hands were fine, so moving wasn't too bad. At this moment, Zheng Bin hid behind the trash can, his eyes fixed tightly on the area where Long Ming was hiding. But after watching for a long time, he didn't see Long Ming and Gu Yi poke their heads out, only hearing roaring sounds from time to time. Zheng Bin was a bit puzzled but didn't take it to heart, continuing to watch. Time passed second by second. Seeing Long Ming and Gu Yi make no movement at all, Zheng Bin grew increasingly puzzled, but alone he didn't dare to rashly go check. Fortunately, at this moment Wu Kang hurried over with three players. "Brother Zheng, we're here!" "Good timing. They're hiding behind the statue. Follow me and flank them!" A fierce expression appeared on Zheng Bin's face as he led Wu Kang and the others carefully around to flank the statue. They approached the statue step by step, their hearts nearly in their throats, their hands gripping their guns involuntarily tightening. The moment they got close, Zheng Bin and the others went all out, raising their guns and rushing forward. But after rushing over, they discovered that behind the statue was completely empty. "Where are the people?" Wu Kang and the others looked at Zheng Bin in confusion. "Damn, I wondered why there was no movement for so long. Turns out they ran!" Zheng Bin stomped his foot in anger and frustration. "So what do we do now?" Wu Kang and the others looked at Zheng Bin with grim faces. At this moment, Zheng Bin noticed the bloodstains on the ground and said with a cold smile. "What's the rush? See the bloodstains on the ground? They can't have gone far!" "Then let's chase them!" Wu Kang and the others' expressions brightened immediately. "Let's go!" Zheng Bin led the others along the bloodstains in pursuit. On the other side, Long Ming helped Gu Yi escape to the street leading into the fortress. The sewer entrance was right ahead. "Hold on a bit longer. The sewer entrance is right ahead." "Okay. This time I really owe it to you." "It's nothing. But how did you provoke them?" "I don't know what provoked them. These City of Sin people are disgusting. They get envious as soon as they see us find something good." Saying this, Gu Yi got angry again. "I understand." Hearing this, Long Ming roughly understood what had happened. Soon the two arrived at the sewer entrance, and Long Ming helped Gu Yi go down. "Slowly." "Okay." Gu Yi then crawled down bit by bit. But just then, Zheng Bin leading Wu Kang and the others arrived. Seeing Long Ming and Gu Yi trying to escape, they all raised their guns and fired. Long Ming also immediately noticed Zheng Bin and the others chasing them. He decisively reached out and pushed Gu Yi down. (End of chapter)
