Chapter 5253: Duty
Editor: Henyee Translations
Within a few seconds, the machine gunner and sub-machine gunner were shot and killed. No one dared to touch the machine guns anymore.
"There’s a sniper! Damn it! They have a sniper!"
The two machine gunners fell one after another. The rebel soldiers thought that they had met a sniper. They didn’t expect that at the corner where they were facing each other, a peacekeeping soldier was retracting his gun and retreating quickly under the cover of his comrades.
Without the heavy machine guns and the other party panicking because they thought that they had encountered a sniper, it was enough for Xia Jinyuan to find Chen Shuzhen’s approximate location. According to the British soldier who covered her retreat, Xia Jinyuan quickly found his target.
When he found her, she was lying under the wires.
Xia Jinyuan slowly crawled forward. He was so close that the other party should be able to hear him. Then, he said in a low voice, "Are you alright? You can still walk."
Chen Shuzhen didn’t answer. Xia Jinyuan’s heart sank slightly. He crawled to her side and pressed his fingers on the aorta of the other party’s neck.
Her pulse was normal, which meant that she was still alive.
Xia Jinyuan called out to her again, but the other party still didn’t answer. Xia Jinyuan slowly pursed his lips and reached out to press Chen Shuzhen’s philtrum.
She had fainted from fright. He needed to wake her up.
Chen Shuzhen’s eyes moved slightly. As the pain got worse, her dizzy mind slowly cleared up. Gunshots rang in her ears. Reporter Chen, who had fainted at some point in time, finally woke up.
She woke up with a start and remembered where she was. Fear swallowed her like a monster. Her voice was completely out of her control. She screamed again.
Xia Jinyuan didn’t give her a chance to scream, however. He quickly covered her mouth with his combat gloves and warned her sternly, "Shut up if you don’t want to die! Lie down and don’t move!"
A familiar voice was heard. Chen Shuzhen widened her eyes. Her breathing stagnated for a few seconds before she reacted. Tears flowed down her face as she nodded vigorously.
She wouldn’t scream, and she wouldn’t move.
She only nodded. Xia Jinyuan immediately retracted his hand and pressed it against his earpiece. "We’ve found her. She’s not dead. Cover and retreat."
"Okay!" Z7’s happy voice was heard. Damn it, he had been holding his breath for more than ten minutes!
If she wasn’t dead, it meant she was alive.
Major David even whistled. "Amazing. You’re the fiercest warrior I’ve ever seen."
He was the fiercest warrior for saving someone despite it raining machine guns bullets.
If it were him, he wouldn’t have had the courage.
Retreating was also very difficult, but it was much smoother than rescuing her. With the suppression of firepower and the lack of machine guns, Xia Jinyuan let Chen Shuzhen retreat first. "Remember, when I shout at you to run, get up and run immediately! Remember!"
Chen Shuzhen, who was so frightened that she couldn’t speak properly, nodded. She was so frightened that her body was still trembling.
At this moment, her inexplicable sense of superiority was gone. She didn’t look down on the Chinese soldiers anymore.
She didn’t wipe her tears. She bit her lower lip tightly and crawled toward the ruins that Xia Jinyuan was pointing at. She didn’t want to die. She wanted to go home alive.
Chen Shuzhen, who always thought that she was bold enough to survive the flames of war alone, had really softened now. She had learned an unforgettable lesson, so she didn’t dare to think that she was bold anymore.
Hearing the faint sound of someone crawling behind him, Xia Jinyuan pulled off the grenade, pulled the safety catch, and threw it at the corner of the street.
