Chapter 438: 417 Shot Qing Luo Dead Without Distinction (5000 words)_4

Song Lili’s eyes narrowed.

Wen Nian shrugged his shoulders, clearly not meaning to underestimate her, just instinctively... wanting her to stay away from all dangers.

He knew Song Lili didn’t like it when he did this, but he still felt compelled to protect her as much as he could.

This ingrained thought pattern, to suddenly change it now, was truly difficult.

"I understand."

Wen Nian responded.

The twelve people who had caught up needed to be dealt with first.

Song Yangling assured there was absolutely no problem.

Zhongli Wuzhi and Lu Xiaoer did not object, even though both felt a momentary discomfort and conflict in their hearts...

Always being the one who needed protection did bruise one’s ego to some extent.

But neither of them were unreasonable people; at life-and-death moments, showing off could genuinely cost them their lives, something both Zhongli Wuzhi and Lu Xiaoer were well aware of.

After reaching a consensus, they each set out to act.

Zhongli Wuzhi and Lu Xiaoer took a gun and hid with their luggage in a very narrow cave.

Wen Nian, Song Lili, and Song Yangling operated within a two-hundred-meter range outside.

They waited for a full two hours before finally hearing some activity.

The first sign of movement came from Song Lili’s side.

The footsteps grew slower as they approached; this part of the jungle was the deepest, indicating that the rebel army’s dispatched squad was being cautious.

Song Lili hung from a tree with a sniper rifle in her hands, the barrel resting against a tree branch in front of her; her eyes were narrowed, closely watching the scattered range at a sixty-degree angle.

Her nerves were on high alert, and the movements grew closer, until—

"Bang! Bang! Bang-bang!"

"Bang-bang-bang!"

Gunshots suddenly erupted before Song Lili even saw half a head; gunfire had already come from the direction of Wen Nian and Song Yangling!

Accompanied by the shouts of people being shot down!

Song Lili’s gaze remained tightly fixed on the direction of the approaching people, just waiting for someone to pop out their head for her to blow away!

Her heart was without a hint of hesitation, utterly resolute.

However, at that moment...

"Bang! Clack!"

A gunshot sounded almost right beside her ear, Song Lili’s slightly narrowed eyes widened.

A bullet casing hit her, and a tree branch just less than an inch away from her was broken off!

She had been discovered!

Song Lili’s first thought was just that; she considered moving immediately, but before she could, she heard a familiar voice,

"Tang."

"..."

Song Lili was startled for a moment, and then she saw Qing Luo step out from the man-high bushes wearing the rebel army uniform and a mask.

He wasn’t wearing a helmet this time, so his silver-white hair was particularly eye-catching.

"Qing Luo..."

Song Lili was still prone on the tree, but after Qing Luo came out, his eyes were fixated on her, staring straight through the leaves and branches.

His head slightly lifted, his aqua blue eyes calm and collected.

He raised the gun in his hand and then slowly placed it on the ground,

"I see you. Come down," Qing Luo said to Song Lili.

He voluntarily laid down his weapon and raised his hands to show his friendliness.

But Song Lili was still on full alert, her eyes half-closed, aiming at his head...

Qing Luo pulled down his mask, revealing a face that seemed handsome and youthful.

It was indeed... Qing Luo.

Song Lili’s heart raced because she truly wasn’t sure what Qing Luo’s appearance before her meant...

She only had an ominous premonition.

To just pull the trigger and kill him, no matter the consequences...
