"Xiao Liu!"

Someone let out a roar, looking at his fallen teammate, his eyes turned red with rage. He then pulled the bolt, aimed the gun at the hooked nose who had jumped into the grass, and shouted again, "Damn you!"

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat!"

The muzzle burst with angry flames, but only the wild grass was shot, and there was no expected scream.

Guo Kai's eyes were also bloodshot, his expression gradually becoming ferocious, and he yelled, "Try to leave someone alive!"

However, in reality, what he wanted to shout was, "Exterminate them, leave no one alive!"

But when the words reached his mouth, he habitually changed them.

Perhaps this is the helplessness of being a commander...

Brethren who have lived with him day and night are shot dead in front of him, how could he not want the enemy to repay blood for blood?

But revenge aside, it's more important to find out who these people are and what their purpose for coming here is.

We absolutely cannot let the brother die without knowing why!

...

On the rooftop of the teaching building, Uesugi Yumi's eyes revealed a look of "I knew it."

Previously, Iwakami Ryoji speculated that the hooked nose group was delivering supplies to those guarding the cave entrance. She believed this speculation was unlikely to be true.

Because those guarding the cave entrance were all Huaxia people, but the latter dozen people had three who were obviously not from Asia, making it impossible for them to be allied.

Now, the gunfire has proven her speculation, and the two groups are already at war.

"Why did they suddenly start shooting?" Iwakami Ryoji wondered.

Belock was even more furious, jumping up and swearing, "Which bastard sent these guys?"

Although Guo Kai's gunfight with the hooked nose and others seemed unrelated to Uesugi Yumi and Belock on the surface and might even be favorable to them.

After all, being able to watch from the sidelines was a rare opportunity, and in the end, they might even reap the benefits.

But neither Uesugi Yumi nor Belock were happy about it. They even wished to rush down and wipe out the hooked nose group.

The reason is simple: they don't want, nor dare, to escalate the situation!

This is already a sensitive place, but because both sides haven't engaged in direct combat, basic balance is still maintained.

The appearance of the hooked nose group is equivalent to a foreign force that forcefully breaks the hard-won balance.

Uesugi Yumi even suspects that a large-scale armed force is already heading here, and when they arrive, they will undoubtedly become major targets.

This so-called calamity of the fish in the pond is about to happen.

...

"Zap!"

A pinpoint shot hit one out of the ten people, who were crouching in fear, and he fell.

The bullet hit the temple, and rescue wasn't even necessary.

"Murder... Murder! They're killing people, ahhh!!!"

The terrifying scream appeared, causing the nine already on the verge of collapse to start running and shouting like headless flies, making the scene chaotic instantly.

They might understand that running wouldn't solve the problem, but having them stand still, constantly worried about having their heads blown off—not just ordinary people, even those with the strongest mental fortitude would think it a pipe dream.

When the survival instinct bursts forth, people's control over their bodies is essentially stripped away, and everyone will uncontrollably run towards what they believe is a safe place, even if it's a hidden trap.

"Zap! Zap!"

Two more pinpoint shots struck two people who were running blindly, making them act as if they were paralyzed by the Body Stabilization Technique, and after stiffening up, they fell straight to the ground.

Guo Kai glanced at the two corpses and found both had bullet wounds to the head, showing a clear intent not to leave anyone alive.

Or perhaps, they are afraid of Guo Kai asking anything from these people?

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat!"

After a burst of gunfire swept the wild grass, Guo Kai leaned against cover and shouted loudly, "If you don't want to die, run to the tents! And hurry!"

These words fell into the ears of the remaining seven people, undoubtedly pointing out the direction to escape.

The seven people, after a brief stupor, scrambled madly towards the tents, charging heroically as if moths to a flame!

But even so, two people still died by gunfire.

In just a few minutes, this ten-man cannon fodder squad was immediately cut in half.

"Should we call for support?" someone nervously asked.

Although it seemed only one person was shooting, no one dared to guarantee that there weren't enemies lurking in the wild grass.

Guo Kai smacked himself hard on the face, which turned visibly red and swollen at a rapid pace, indicating the force of the slap.

He was genuinely angry, having fought all this time without even knowing how many enemies there were. Anyone would be left feeling extremely frustrated.

After a while, Guo Kai resignedly sighed, "Call for reinforcements."

Knowing Guo Kai's personality, he disliked calling for reinforcements, but as the squad leader, he had to be responsible for every team member's safety. If no one had to be sacrificed, it certainly would be for the best.

With the enemy hiding, unable to ascertain their numbers, he couldn't afford to act recklessly and risk the lives of his men.

The call for reinforcements was quickly made.

Meanwhile, as the call was being made, Uesugi Yumi on the teaching building rooftop made a decision, "Bring out those three foreigners."

"What?" Iwakami Shigehiro was taken aback, wondering if he had misheard.

Those guarding the cave entrance are obviously Xiao Feng's people, helping them essentially meant helping Xiao Feng?

Uesugi Yumi said, "No surprise, reinforcements will arrive soon. When they do, the chances of us being discovered will increase dramatically. Given this, let's stir things up.

Even if it's impossible to stir up chaos, the least we can do is make sure no one thinks we're with those three foreigners."

This kind of strategy is definitely familiar to seasoned mahjong players.

Simply put, if your hand is consistently bad, leave the bad cards and play out the good ones first, making it hard for the players around you to understand the situation.

Chaos has its way of being played!

...

Time ticked away, and both sides were in a stalemate, enduring tensely.

"Reinforcement action has begun, and approximately in twenty minutes, the first batch will arrive." The person responsible for the call reported to Guo Kai.

Just as the words fell, a swift "whoosh!" was heard.

The wild grass fell quickly in one direction, as if someone was running frantically within it.

Half a minute later, a scream was heard, and the hooked nose was directly thrown out from the wild grass, landing spreadeagle on the ground.

Guo Kai and the others were all bewildered, perplexed that reinforcements could arrive so swiftly?

This thought passed by in a flash; nobody believed it was their reinforcements, but indeed, someone hidden was assisting them.

So the question arose: Who is helping them?

And why are they helping?

For the moment, along with Guo Kai, everyone felt the situation growing increasingly confusing, hard to discern.
