NovelOnlineChapter 1266 Alexander shut his eyes for a sec, checked the gap between him and Sean's crew, then chucked his gun.
A few muffled shots rang out, and the bullets hit the gun he just tossed. Meanwhile, he bolted and ducked behind another tree as fast as he could. The tree behind him shook a bit more as bullets smacked into the trunk.
But this gave Sean's crew a shot. When the assassins fired at Alexander, Sean's crew managed to nail two of them.
One got hit in the arm, the other in the leg. They weren't dead, but it sure slowed them down. Then they switched up their tactics. One guy ran out to shoot, and when Sean's crew peeked out, they saw those guns aimed right at them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSean's eyes narrowed, and he dropped to the ground, rolling to dodge the bullets.
But the others weren't so lucky. Anyone who stuck their head out got hit. Two took shots to the head, and the rest, who were a bit quicker, still got injured.
One of them was Matthew, who got shot in the chest. When Sean looked over, he saw Matthew clutching his chest, crouched in pain.
Sean frowned, cursing under his breath, but stayed silent.
They were already outnumbered, and the enemy was fully armed. In terms of both numbers and gear, they were at a big disadvantage. Plus, the enemy's reaction tand shooting skills were almost as good as Sean's. Sean signaled that their only shot at breaking through was to drain the enemy's ammo.
This plan was risky; stepping out meant getting shot.
Sean decided to take the lead. He aimed at a rock on the left and dashed over, lying down behind it. A few bullets hit the rock.
As the standoff dragged on, the sky got darker, and the forest dimmed. Sean's crew was at an even bigger disadvantage.
The enemy not only wore black but also had night vision goggles. With such a gap, it was tough to handle them. Alexander, in his black shirt, had a slight edge.
He seized the moment, ran a couple more steps forward, and switched to another tree.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, he spotted Quinn's sneaky figure ahead. His eyes flickered.
Luckily, Quinn didn't keep running his way but crouched on the ground.
Seeing her actions, Alexander felt both amused and annoyed.
Even though she couldn't help at all, she still showed up.
Quinn didn't move forward anymore, as the sounds she heard were super close, and going further would ben dangerous. So she crouched in a thick bush, not daring to move, closely watching the surroundings through the gaps in the grass. Unfortunately, it was dark, and she couldn't see a thing.
After a few minutes, she saw a few figures moving slowly ahead, unsure if it was Alexander, so she didn't dare move. Sean moved occasionally, trying to draw the enemy's attention and drain their bullets.
It was during these moments of distraction that Alexander found the e chance to move closer to Quinn. Now Quinn saw him. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she knew his figure and recognized him right away. When she saw that he could still walk, her face lit up. She grabbed the grass beside her, staring intently in his direction. The gap between them was now less than 30 feet.
So Quinn gritted her teeth, switched from crouching to lying down, and slowly moved toward him. Alexander dodged around a few trees, sprinted to her, and pounced on her, rolling on the ground with her in his arms.
