Chapter 493: Chapter 340 - Just in Time (Second Update)_2

"All done to avoid some unnecessary disputes.

Upon hearing Jing Chen’s words, Wu Ya nods and then signals to their far-seeing comrades to be cautious of their rear. They acknowledge and exchange a glance; one takes the rear while the other continues supporting Jing Chen and the brothers beside him.

The war rages on, and Ying Sun’s men remain vigilant. The enemy’s small team has also set off, inching closer towards them from behind.

A crisis may strike at any moment.

The girl sits next to Xigua, covering her ears, sitting quietly. She doesn’t speak, let alone scream or cry.

These few days, she has gone from being scared and worried to facing the situation calmly now. In such a short time, she seems to have matured from an innocent young girl.

With her hands wrapped around her knees, the girl has no idea what she’s thinking about, her mind somewhat in a daze.

Perhaps influenced by Xigua and Ying Sun’s team, she suddenly feels like she wouldn’t be scared even if she were to die now. Nonetheless, she absolutely refuses to fall into the hands of their enemies.

Yes, she knows nothing, but she has overheard that her father has a nemesis in Y Country. This time, it must be her father’s nemesis who has sent people to capture her. If she falls into their hands, they will definitely use her to threaten her father.

Such a thing, she doesn’t want it to happen; it absolutely cannot happen.

After experiencing all these things these few days, it seems like the girl has not only matured but also learned the meaning of facing death fearlessly.

Of course, she probably doesn’t fully understand what that saying means; after all, it’s part of a five-thousand-year-old culture that is particularly profound.

Looking at Ying Sun’s team and Xigua, who had shielded her from bullets before, the girl feels that death isn’t as frightening as people make it out to be.

...

In this vast jungle, there are far too many things that serve as cover and concealment. They are soldiers, all having extensive experience in outdoor survival. If they had to choose between Metropolis and this danger-ridden jungle, they would undoubtedly choose the jungle.

Because here in the jungle, only the strong survive. Although the laws of the Metropolis may be similar to those of the jungle, soldiers are straightforward and cannot outmaneuver countless scheming villains. The strongest survive, but their motives are unpredictable.

In this vast jungle, they don’t play mind games. What they play even more is the game of tacit understanding.

Experiencing life and death time and again enhances their tacit understanding and trust in each other.

Back to back, they can only trust their comrades with their lives.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Gunshots ring out behind Jing Chen and his men. Jing did not expect his guess to be accurate. Their enemies had indeed crept up from behind without them noticing – they were coming fast.

This sensation, it’s really fucking unpleasant.

Being short-staffed is indeed a problem, but he did not anticipate being outsmarted by such small fry.

However.

"Wu Ya, provide cover at the rear," ordered Jing Chen without hesitation, retreating cautiously. All of the enemy’s attention was focused on him.

Despite Jing Chen’s agility, escaping this relentless barrage of gunfire wouldn’t be easy. He would have to signal the others who are able to escape to go to the rear and support.

Jing Chen has a hunch that if they hold on a little longer, their reinforcements might arrive. Also, his love, Linlin, would surely rush to his side at the fastest possible speed and fight alongside him.

Truthfully, if it wasn’t for wanting to rescue Xigua, he absolutely would not have led Linlin into such a dangerous place, even though he trusts her skills to easily deal with such situations.

Jing Chen had considered this before. He and Mu Lin had practiced together, but they only tested their agility. Mu Lin’s greatest strength wasn’t her agility. She had more than enough ability to protect herself, even surpassing his self-protection abilities.

Killing happens in the blink of an eye.

Long ago, there were rumors about the Poison Doctor, which Jing Chen had almost forgotten. Mu Lin grew up in the jungle, so everything here could be her best cover.

Jing Chen used to be quite frustrated about this. After all, every man wishes to have a woman who depends on him. But now, Jing Chen is extremely relieved that Mu Lin has such a strong ability to protect herself. This is one of the reasons he let her stay in the dangerous Ming City alone.

At this moment, Jing Chen doesn’t know that Mu Lin may need to move to another location.

Upon hearing Jing Chen’s words, Wu Ya immediately moves to cover the rear without hesitation. But this time, they’re out in the open, while the enemy is concealed. A momentary carelessness results in another injury.

"Damn it." Wu Ya is genuinely upset. He’s been hit again, and in the same spot, no less. It’s like they intended to open a wound in the same place – that would hurt like hell.

Despite cursing, his actions aren’t affected at all. Even if he was, he had to push through it. Otherwise, he would lose his life the next moment.

The group finds a not-so-concealed spot and prepares to retaliate. But the next moment, the attacks aimed at them suddenly disappear without a trace, completely silent, vanishing abruptly.

What tricks are they playing now?

Playing with a few silver needles in her hand, Mu Lin leisurely appears before Xigua’s group. A smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, she says, "Speaking of which, shouldn’t you put your guns away? There’s no need to welcome me with such fire and passion."
