Chapter 255 - I need cover (1/2)

Xiu Mei heard the heavy sound of hundreds of footsteps running towards her like death approaching her slowly. One last time she looked at the sky and closed her eyes.

Before the darkness could take over her senses completely, she picked the gun and held it against her temple….

'BANG'

****

Just that moment bullets rained down from everywhere. Helicopters whirred and some people dressed in black, wearing protective gear, abseiled down from the chopper and formed a human wall around her with guns pointing towards the enemies. Soon another group descended with bulletproof shield and sealed her completely in a circle.

Loud noises of gun fires echoed everywhere….

Xiu Mei blinked her eyes in a daze, confused what is happening. Her eyes scanned the men surrounding her, but their guns were pointing outside. Is she dead? Is this what modern demon holding scythe looks like? Is she dreaming? Or is this the help she was expecting? Or her mind is playing games before death?

She was prepared for the pain but why is she not feeling any pain on her temple. Her hand rose unconsciously towards the temple, there was definitely some blood but where is the bullet hole.

Xiu Mei saw a familiar shadow walking towards her as the armed men make way for him to enter inside the protective circle. She rapidly blinked and smiled at her beautiful hallucination. This is the dream come true for her to see him one last time.

”Love… I'm sorry. Nothing will happen to you” She felt a familiar warm embrace that was missing from her life for like centuries. Her eyes fluttered endlessly at his face as a gentle kiss was placed on her forehead before something warm and soft was wrapped around her body.

Faint screaming could be heard in the background as her eyes rolled backward and darkness engulfed her. Someone tried to jerk her body to wake her up but everything seemed to slip from her hands taking her to endless darkness.

Feng Jianyu carried Xiu Mei up in his arms and run towards the safe location where he can board the chopper to their make-shift base.

”I need cover. Clear the perimeters and get down the paramedic chopper to a safe location. She's loosing too much blood” He yelled at his men.

Lu Xion shone a flashlight at Feng Jianyu's direction and saw Xiu Mei in a badly injured state. ”Take her to the base immediately. I'll handle everything here” He then looked at Bai Xin, ”Go provide cover to Jianyu”

Bai Xin nodded and ran in the direction where Feng Jianyu was running. She kept on firing rounds of bullets until they were out of enemies range.

Without wasting another second, Jianyu kept on running towards the chopper with emergency paramedic team on it.

While they were in the chopper, Wang Shi immediately checked her vitals first. Later he cut her jeans to see her bleeding thigh and stopped the blood flow with a hemostat. He saw another bleeding at the waist, lifted her camisole up and peeled the bandage off.
