Chapter 960: The Story of Ling and Heng (223)

However, the number of those people was apparently more than she expected. Just when Feng Ling quickly shot another person’s head and then lurked back into the gra.s.s, several people appeared on the other side, all pointing their guns at her.

Feng Ling quickly backed off. Now she was hopelessly outnumbered. The only chance for her to survive was to make use of the mines.

Every step she made, she carefully avoided the mines under the ground, but those people were obviously professional killers or soldiers. They were also very keen and silently remembered all the places that she had stepped on.

This road extended all the way to the mountain. Because of the gunshots and footsteps, countless snakes were alarmed and scattered around, and occasionally venomous snakes with spot patterns could be seen quickly crawling past.

Feng Ling retreated all the way to a cliff in the Snake Valley. The mines here had just been cleared by her yesterday and she also sprinkled snake powder there.

She looked at the cliff not far behind and then looked back at the group of chasers behind her.

The arm that had just been bitten by the snake had completely gone numb. She didn’t know what poison it was, but she felt her body temperature was lowering little by little. She tried to raise her gun, only to be overwhelmed by the pain and numbness; she even saw stars.

Hearing that those people had come over, she closed her eyes and ventured to go to the minefield on the other side. She tried to jump onto the tree and avoided the mines, but suddenly a pang seized her and she stumbled and half knelt on the ground.

Her face turned ghastly pale, so did her lips. They even turned light blue..

Every time she breathed, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. Feng Ling closed her eyes, suspecting that even if she was not killed by these people, she would die from snake poison.

She struggled to stand up, and suddenly, she felt a chill down her spine. She suddenly looked back, only to see a sniper rifle aimed at her on a tree not far away.

She was in a trance. Perhaps she would die here today because she had no way out.

Suddenly, a lot of people’s faces popped up in her mind. In her short life, she hadn’t even seen her parents. The she-wolf was her mother, the base was her home, and Li Nanheng was her mentor.

Now.

In the end, would she be buried here?

At the moment when the sniper rifle sounded, an almost imperceptible sound was heard at the same time. Something whistled past Feng Ling’s eyes with a cold white glint.

Feng Ling raised her blurred eyes. What was it just now? A bullet?

Who had such amazing marksmans.h.i.+p as to hit away the bullet that was shot at her with another bullet?

Hearing the two bullets shooting through the trunk of a tree, Feng Ling tried to see clearly, only to fall backward.

However, at the moment she was going to hit the ground, a figure pounced over, took her into his arms, and hugged her tightly. She almost blacked out and could hardly see clearly, but smelling the familiar masculine scentl, she knew that it was Li Nanheng.

He came at last…

Since childhood, she was never the one who was protected.

Even in the XI base, she was always the one rus.h.i.+ng at the forefront.

But it seemed that only Li Nanheng would pull her out from trouble over and over again, and only he had the ability to s.h.i.+eld and protect her..

Feng Ling couldn’t open her eyes and said feebly, “Boss… I’m going to die… Keep safe…”

“Feng Ling.” Li Nanheng hugged the girl in his arms tightly. When the other party was about to shoot again, he held her and quickly hid down into the high and dense gra.s.ses. When he looked down and saw her face, he frowned.

He knew that she would be in trouble and her life would even be endangered, but he never expected her to be bitten by a snake!

The military sent more people than he expected. Because this was a secret operation, he could only solve this matter secretly. Otherwise, all he did before would be in vain, so he couldn’t drive a helicopter over but lurked among these people all the way. Fortunately, Feng Ling wasn’t in the tent, but…

Li Nanheng pressed her head against his chest, put his chin on her cheek to feel the coldness on her face, and whispered: “Hold on. Don’t sleep.”

Feng Ling tried to open her eyes again, although she felt that she didn’t have to do so because she couldn’t see clearly even with her eyes open.

Her lips were also terribly dry, but in order not to distract him, she still forced a smile. “Um…”

Feng Ling felt that Li Nanheng had carried her up and began to run. She didn’t know where he headed. All she could feel was that the wind whistled in her ears and that his body was warming her like a stove.

She closed her eyes and felt that her limbs were all numb. Just now, she thought she would be forced to jump off the cliff into the Snake Valley and end up being buried in the bellies of snakes.

But if she died in his arms…

…perhaps that was not bad.

Provided that he wouldn’t be injured or die because of her.

“Li Nanheng…” Feng Ling had hallucinations before her eyes and her hand grasped the cloth on his shoulder unconsciously. Listening to the wind whistling in her ears, she whispered feebly, “Thank you for coming to help me. Thank you…”

She sounded as if saying her last words. Li Nanheng was avoiding the bullets and the mines underneath and shot back at those people from time to time, shouting coldly at her who was on his back, “Shut up!”

“After I died… just throw me here… Don’t… don’t trouble yourself with my body…”

“I tell you to shut up!”

With her eyes closed, Feng Ling suddenly grinned, put her head on his back, and said in a small voice, “Before I die, let me tell you a secret, OK?…”

Li Nanheng jumped to a small hill near the cliff with Feng Ling on his back. In the eyes of those people, he seemed to have jumped off the cliff. He quickly hid into the gra.s.ses and sneaked away; his voice was cold and stern. “I don’t want to listen.”
