Chapter 659-660

Chapter 659: Let You Go Back Alive？ 　 There will always be deviations between expectations and reality. What Yun Xi hadn’t expected was that the other party wouldn’t be stupid either. Among the remaining four people, they’d only sent one person over. Yun Xi lay on the snow looking at the slowly approaching figure through her sniper rifle. She had tied Alan to a tree, and under the tree were Great White and Zhao Yumo, who were waiting for the opportunity to strike. The person who was coming overlooked around, but didn’t see Yun Xi. He only saw Alan tied to a tree, and without anticipating the foul play, he rushed over. Yun Xi glanced at this foolish man, and from her firing position, she let a shot go using her left hand. 　 　 Her goal wasn’t to hit the target. With her current marksmanship skills, there was no way she would be able to hit the target. So she fired a shot, and the bullet made a direct hit on the stump at Alan’s feet. Hearing the gunshot, the man fell to the ground and moved to hide behind Alan. Yun Xi took this opportunity to fire a second shot, but the bullet missed once again and rammed into the ground at the guy’s feet. The man stepped back instinctively, but he didn’t realize that there was a steep slope behind him, and he fell down it. At this moment, Zhao Yumo shouted to Great White, “Great White, come on!” Great White leaped forward and bit the neck of the man who had fallen down the slope. The man was taken completely aback. He definitely hadn’t expected that there was a fierce leopard here. Just as he instinctively reacted and reached out his hand to shoot, Great White turned and bit his wrist. Great White’s speed was so fast that the man had no chance to react at all. Yun Xi threw down her gun and ran over quickly. She slid directly down the slope and, with her knife in hand, quickly slashed the man’s other hand. Now both his hands were injured. One was scratched, and the other was bitten. The man who was being pressed down by Great White into the snow looked in horror at this little girl who’d suddenly appeared in front of him. Then he looked at the ferocious snarling leopard that was standing there close to him. His eyes widened in fear, and he didn’t dare to move. Yun Xi took the opportunity to turn around and say to Zhao Yumo, “Yumo, tie him up!” She’d just fired two shots, so the remaining three people who were lying in ambush must have heard. She assumed they weren’t going to get close now. 　 　 Zhao Yumo took the rope out of Yun Xi’s bag and quickly tied the man to another tree. The man looked up and saw Alan, who was completely unresponsive with matted blood on his head, and he realized that he had fallen into a trap. It was too late now. Yun Xi looked at the man who was staring at her with a dazed expression, and she finally understood why they had sent him to die. Since he was so stupid, it was no wonder that he would be used by the others as a tool. “Who are you? What did you do to Alan?” “He’s dead. Weren’t you trying to take my life? Why do you still ask who I am?” Yun Xi sat down on the snow and kicked him hard. “I had no idea that you were this stupid. Your three other teammates have sent you here to die, and you just came without even thinking about it. If I were able to subdue Alan, did you think that if you came, I’d let you go back alive?” Seeing that she was about to play dirty, the man suddenly became very anxious. “You...you’re going back on your promise!” “With people like you, why should I keep my promise? However, if you tell me who hired you to kill me, I will let you live. Otherwise, you should know my Great White beast isn’t a vegetarian.” While speaking, Yun Xi glanced at Great White, who was sitting next to her. Great White cooperated with her, mustering a fierce expression and growling as he stepped forward. The man was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he stared at Great White in horror. “I...we just received an order from somewhere above us to hunt you down, but we don’t even know who our employer is. Our boss collects the money from him. I was just sent out to get the deed done. I really don’t know anything.” 　 *** 　 Chapter 660: No Use Keeping You 　 “Someone like you is actually a mercenary. You must be kidding me. I can’t believe it.” “I... just joined, and I haven’t gotten any business yet. This is my first job...” “No wonder they sent you here to die. Aren’t there three others left? Where are they hiding?” “I won’t tell you anything.” “They sent you here to die, yet you’re still protecting them. You really are a good friend.” Yun Xi snorted softly and turned to look at Zhao Yumo. “Yumo, take out the pen and paper from the bag and write a note saying, Mercenary, danger! on his face. Then let’s get ready to go down the mountain.” 　 　 “Great, okay.” Zhao Yumo nodded, then quickly took out a pen and paper to write a few words. “Since you want to die, then you stay here to accompany Alan. Those teammates of yours must think you’re dead when they see that you haven’t come back. The mountains are cold. When people are about to freeze to death, people are unconscious, so you don’t need to be afraid of death.” While speaking, Yun Xi patted him on the shoulder nonchalantly, then turned and got ready to lead Great White back down the mountain. “Stop! Don’t leave me here. I really don’t know anything. They are very cautious, and they definitely aren’t waiting some place for me to come back.” Yun Xi shrugged and looked very helpless. “So, it’s useless to keep you. But...if you tell me where your boss is, maybe I could let you go.” “Then I might as well die here, since the punishment for betraying the boss will also be death.” “All right, then you can stay here.” It was really embarrassing for a mercenary team to have recruited such a lame weirdo. As soon as she turned around to go down the mountain, Yun Xi heard a few shots coming from the forest. Yun Xi and Zhao Yumo, who were just about to leave, were taken aback for a moment. Great White seemed to have realized something and stood in front of Yun Xi with a sullen expression, as if he was protecting her. “Great White! Don’t run around anywhere, just stay here with me.” Yun Xi patted Great White’s head and picked up her gun. She had to be ready. “Someone is coming...” The man murmured after hearing the gunshots. 　 　 “Yun Xi, could it be his teammates? If they all come here, what are we going to do? We and Great White together aren’t strong enough to act as their opponents.” “It’s not my teammates...” The man shook his head. “The gunshots didn’t sound right. I’m sure those sounds weren’t from their guns.” Yun Xi was on her guard now. She turned her head to look at this man. He looked quite young and had a foreigner’s face. There was a frivolous and flippant aura to him. He was cowardly, timid, and dim-witted! But she could tell that he had a lot of knowledge on guns and gun sounds. The sound of each type of gun was different, the length of the rubbing sound of the bullet, the sound of incoming air, the sounds of guns and pistols were all slightly different. But this kind of difference could only be distinguished by a real expert. Ordinary people couldn’t tell at all the difference between guns. Yet this guy could tell from the sound? This was way beyond her expectations! “If someone has come, then your teammates are probably doomed.” “Why don’t you think that the people who came are doomed?” The man chuckled lightly. It seemed as if he had gradually resigned himself to his fate, in contrast to how frightened he had been moments before. The sound got closer and then Great White suddenly jumped up and disappeared into the snow. “Great White!” Yun Xi whispered. Even if she hadn’t been injured, she would never be as agile as Great White was. At this moment, she wouldn’t know where to look. After a while, the gunfire stopped. Yun Xi sat in the snow and waited patiently, but what she wasn’t waiting for was a layer of snow falling above her head! She turned her head abruptly. Great White had scratched his paws and splashed snow on her head from the top of the fault. Beside him, there was a man wearing a special forces uniform.
