Mercenary's War

"Ah! Haha, ahaha, monsters, you’re all a bunch of monsters."

Watching a helicopter turn into a big fireball and crash directly onto the hillside, Justin excitedly screamed a few times, holding a box of bullets in one hand and having the other on his waist, he stood there panting heavily and shouting.

Gao Yang excitedly pumped his fist, watched Tarta continue sprinting, then immediately turned towards Justin.

"You idiot! Who told you to stop!"

Gao Yang was getting anxious. Running still offered some hope, stopping would definitely get you hit by a bullet.

Justin gasped and waved his hand, saying, "No, I really can’t run anymore."

After running barely one thousand meters, Gao Yang shouted, "Give me the bullets, run, start running!"

Justin took a couple of steps and stopped again, saying, "I really can’t run... Ah!"

Claiming he couldn’t run, Justin suddenly darted out like a rabbit, because a bullet landed not far from him, so despite saying he couldn’t run, he could run when he saw bullets landing nearby.

Gao Yang pulled the bolt on his gun, ran a few steps to catch up to Justin, and shouted beside him, "Bullets, give me the bullets, you idiot."

Justin handed over the box of bullets immediately, and Gao Yang quickly distanced himself from Justin, slowed down, and after creating a speed difference by speeding up and slowing down, he shouted angrily, "Take it out and give it to me, take it out."

Justin opened the bullet box, holding it level with his left hand, pulling out a few bullets with his right hand, waiting for Gao Yang to catch up and take the bullets from his hand, then shouted, "How long do we have to keep running?"

Gao Yang took four bullets, put three in his mouth, and chambered one before immediately stopping.

After Tarta shot down another helicopter with a rocket, the helicopters lowered their altitude but sped up their flight, sweeping back and forth firing at the ground, making it hard for Gao Yang to hit the people on the helicopters, but it was also difficult for those on the helicopters to hit them.

If you stopped moving or ran at the same speed in one direction, you’d be easily hit by bullets, but if you varied your speed, zigzagged, and ran in circles, though bullets might fly around you, you’d still avoid getting hit.

The AWM rifle was heavy, making aiming difficult, and Gao Yang stopped when he found no chance to shoot, not daring to linger, he resumed running, but soon stopped again just after a short dash, raised his gun and fired at the helicopter pilot flying almost straight at him, only three or four dozen meters above the ground.

Gao Yang didn’t expect to hit the pilot, and indeed he did not, but the bullet hit the windshield with a ’pop’, leaving a small hole. The pilot reflexively shifted the control stick, causing the helicopter to veer right and rapidly ascend.

The sudden turn and ascent of the helicopter were actions that dramatically reduced its speed, and Tarta didn’t let the opportunity slip; he was close to that helicopter and fired the second rocket, which ultimately hit the helicopter’s tail, blasting off the entire tail rotor.

Watching the second helicopter crash to the ground, Justin gasped and said, "Yeah! Awesome!"

Gao Yang loaded the bullet from his mouth into the chamber, put the remaining two back into his pocket before yelling, "We just have two rockets, two! Why aren’t you running, now we have no means to counterattack!"

Justin shouted urgently, "Why did you only bring two rockets but carry eight VX that we didn’t use at all? Why!"

Gao Yang angrily retorted, "We’re an assassination team, not an assault team. With just a few people, you want to wage a war? Who knew Mario wasn’t dead and even prepared helicopters to deal with us!"

Turning his head to take a look, Gao Yang shouted, "Go right!"

To the right, there was a small patch of woods, although the trees weren’t tall, they were good enough to hide silhouettes, but it was still a few hundred meters away, it was unsure if they could reach the woods.

Shouting, Gao Yang looked back and found Tarta and Vasily were in trouble.

After firing two rockets and downing two helicopters, the remaining choppers made Tarta and Vasily their primary targets. Though not all helicopters were chasing them, those airborne could easily focus fire on Tarta and Vasily just by turning their guns.

Tarta and Vasily, having exhausted their rockets, started running in separate directions, but when Gao Yang looked back, he saw Tarta had fallen to the ground.

"F**k!"

Gao Yang’s heart tightened, cursed, then immediately raised his gun and aimed at Tarta, using the scope. He saw no blood on Tarta but indeed he was down, and hadn’t immediately gotten back up.

There was no time to think, Gao Yang shouted, "Justin!"

"What?"

Gao Yang caught up with Justin, kicked him to the ground, then pointed his sniper rifle at Justin.

Justin, in disbelief, shouted, "What the hell are you doing!"

Gao Yang urgently said, "You know the biggest difference between an intelligence dealer and a mercenary?"

Justin lay down and retreated two steps in anger, shouting, "What the hell do you want to say!"

Gao Yang leaned forward and exclaimed, "Now take off your disguise, quickly!"

After staring blankly at Gao Yang for two seconds, Justin rubbed his face hastily, pulling and yanking all the disguise off his face, and yelled, "Happy now?"

Gao Yang stepped aside and said, "When I tell you to run, run towards the woods, but don’t go in, trust me, I’ve got extensive experience in escaping."

Helicopters overhead didn’t need to get close to see Gao Yang’s moves, they merely chose whom to aim at, and could change direction within seconds, thus Gao Yang’s strange actions quickly drew the helicopters’ attention.

Continuously aiming the gun at Justin’s head, Gao Yang tensely said, "The difference between an intelligence dealer and mercenaries is that we would shoot anyone who can move, but his men might stop to figure out what’s happening if they recognize you. They might even consult before deciding whether to keep firing. I hope that’s the case."

Justin, panting heavily, angrily said, "Mario just wants me dead, he doesn’t need a living hostage!"

Gao Yang licked his lips and said, "But what if his men don’t dare to think so?"

All three helicopters flew towards them and none fired. Gao Yang whispered, "See, they’re not shooting now, get ready, go! Run!"

Justin turned over and scrambled up to run, Gao Yang dashed in the opposite direction to Justin, and as he expected, the gunners in all three helicopters started firing at Justin, ignoring him.

Gao Yang stood there while Justin ran frantically, clutching his head and shouting angrily, "You’re using me as bait! Damn you, Ram, f**k you! F**k you! F**k you!"
