Chapter 460: The Rescuer
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Cao Lei felt awkward, staring straight at the three men’s conspicuously exposed backsides. He was sure they would be discovered any second.
Song Fan silently pressed his head down, preventing him from staring at the three men.
Human sixth sense was strange. When someone stared at you, you always felt it.
Having been a mercenary, Song Fan knew this well. Although she wanted to watch the three men’s movements, she refrained from staring directly at them.
Through the bushes, she occasionally glimpsed the three men’s homemade straw hats, indicating they had some combat experience.
However, after nearly half an hour, Song Fan and Cao Lei’s muscles ached from the strain, and there was still no movement ahead.
Cao Lei, especially, being a spoiled young master, was physically weak. He was about to shift his position.
He was on the verge of his limit. The surrounding bushes would inevitably rustle with any movement, making detection unavoidable.
Just as Cao Lei was about to give in, their rescuer appeared.
A woman holding a dagger quietly approached on the path the three men had taken.
Song Fan noticed dark brown stains on the dagger, unsure if it was soil or blood.
The woman was highly vigilant. Not only were her steps light, but she also found cover with each step, always keeping her back against a tree or concealed by bushes, never giving anyone a chance to attack from behind.
Her next cover target was the bush where Song Fan and Cao Lei hid.
Song Fan sensed Cao Lei’s hairs standing on end, as if saying, “Seriously, this is so unlucky?”
But Song Fan’s lips curled into a smile because the three men ahead of her were already prepared. They exuded the eerie aura of beasts ready to hunt.
Three meters from the bushes, the woman stopped. The five people in the bushes held their breath.
After several seconds, the woman, confirming there was no danger, slowly moved closer.
In an instant, the three men in front of Song Fan sprang up and pounced on the woman, while Song Fan also made her move.
She grabbed the collar of the nearest man. As he stumbled, she kicked his lower back with full force, making him collapse, unable to move.
“Watch him!” Song Fan didn’t look back, but Cao Lei knew she was speaking to him.
He nodded quickly, not daring to speak, and sat on the man.
The woman, meanwhile, fought fiercely against two strong men, showing no signs of weakness.
Her arm got cut, but she desperately swung her dagger.
“Stop!” Song Fan growled.
She didn’t want to kill; she wanted to gather more forces for her use, to at least survive until rescue or escape by boat.
But the three men were bloodthirsty and ignored her.
Until Song Fan pulled out two guns and aimed at them. “Anyone who wants to die first, keep moving.”
In this competition, guns symbolized absolute power. The two men glanced at each other and stopped fighting.
But the woman didn’t hesitate. She swiftly stabbed a man in the chest. He collapsed without a scream, convulsing.
Without pausing, she gouged out his eyeball with her dagger.
One man, terrified, muttered, “No, I’m invulnerable, invulnerable. No, no.”
Clearly a psychopath, he lost all sanity and ran into the dense forest, ignoring Song Fan’s gun.
The man under Cao Lei, seeing his companion’s fate, screamed “Ahh!” and threw Cao Lei off, viciously lunging at the woman.
Seeing his murderous intent, the woman retreated several steps. She knew too well the dangers of this competition. She aimed to survive, not die here.
The woman glanced at Song Fan. In their brief encounter, she recognized Song Fan’s superior skills.
Clearly, the fishermen-clad men were insane, unafraid of guns. Firing would attract enemies, so they had to fight barehanded.
Perhaps trusting a fellow woman, the woman believed Song Fan wouldn’t stand by, so she just watched.
Song Fan also realized the woman was sane. She sighed and kicked the attacking man in the knee.
