Courtyard House: First, kill the hypocrites, leave none alive.

The excited shouts were like those of hunting dogs that had spotted their prey.

At least six or seven beams of flashlight immediately focused on it, illuminating the rock and its surroundings brightly!

Footsteps were rapidly approaching from multiple directions!

The man's desperate wails and the woman's devastating cries rang out instantly, sounding particularly shrill and jarring on the empty beach.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

"Please! Let us go! We have no money!"

"We'll give you everything! Don't arrest us!"

But their pleas only earned them more unrestrained mockery and vulgar insults.

"No money? You're here to die because you have no money?"

"Things? This pile of junk? Are you trying to fob us off like beggars?"

"Come here obediently! You'll suffer less pain!"

"The woman's not bad looking; she might fetch a good price! Haha!"

Several young thugs, dressed in floral shirts and jeans, with brightly colored hair, and carrying sticks or machetes, surrounded the person with sinister smiles, reaching out to grab them.

Chen Feng's heart was beating steadily and powerfully in his chest, but his eyes were already extremely cold.

Just as the middle-aged man had said, the snake-hunting team was indeed ruthless, greedy, and utterly inhuman.

Moreover, their numbers exceeded expectations, and their actions were quite organized, clearly indicating they were repeat offenders.

We can't stay here!

Once completely surrounded on this relatively open, rocky beach, even with guns, it would be extremely difficult for him and Xiaoyu to escape.

The enemy has a numerical advantage, is familiar with the terrain, and is likely armed.

His gaze swept rapidly across the area.

The direction the middle-aged man fled in had already attracted the attention of some pursuers, temporarily drawing their fire.

The couple became the new focus, attracting the attention of most of the remaining snake hunters.

This is an opportunity!

A chance to escape the chaos!

Without the slightest hesitation, he abruptly pulled Xiaoyu along and hissed, "Let's go!"

It wasn't the dark, rocky area where the middle-aged man was fleeing—the situation there was unclear, there might be an ambush, and the pursuers were already on their radar.

It's not heading towards the "main road" above, which might be a path but is being approached.

Instead, it was heading in the opposite direction—to the left, to an area that was even steeper, with even larger and denser rocks, almost touching the waves!

The terrain there is more complex and more difficult to traverse, but it is also better for hiding. Moreover, because it is close to the surging waves, the snake catcher might not immediately think that someone would dare to escape in that direction.

Chen Feng half-embraced Xiao Yu, bent down, and used the shadow of the huge reef and the uneven terrain as cover. Like two shadows close to the ground, they moved swiftly and silently toward the dark, steep, rocky area!

He moved extremely fast, yet with exceptional caution, each step firmly planted, avoiding loose stones and slippery moss.

Xiaoyu was being carried by him, her feet barely touching the ground. She could only hold onto his arm tightly, clench her teeth, and not make a sound.

Several beams of flashlight swept haphazardly across the distance, the most recent one almost grazing the edge of the reef where they were hiding. The bright spot of light flashed and disappeared in an instant, dazzling their eyes.

Chen Feng and Xiao Yu immediately pressed themselves against the rocks and held their breath.

"Damn it, where did it go? I think I saw a shadow over here just now?"

"Are you seeing things? Hurry up and grab those two! Don't let this interfere with our business!"

"Yes, let's tie up the fat sheep first!"

The snake catcher's attention was indeed drawn mainly to the cries and struggles of the man and woman.

Chen Feng and Xiao Yu's brief stay and concealment went unnoticed.

When the beam of light moved away and the shouts and footsteps of the pursuers converged on the couple again, Chen Feng immediately took action once more!

With a few leaps, they had ventured deeper into the more treacherous rocky area on the left.

Here, massive reefs rise like a maze, with narrow, slippery crevices between them, and puddles of varying depths and slick seaweed underfoot.

The waves roared and crashed just meters away, and icy seawater spray splashed onto my face and body from time to time.

Chen Feng pulled Xiao Yu and hid in a small but relatively dry triangular hollow formed by two intersecting giant rocks.

This place is blocked by rocks on three sides, with only a narrow opening on the side facing the sea. The location is secluded, but you can still see most of the rocky beach and the edge of the path above through the cracks in the rocks.

We're safe for now.

But the crisis is far from over.

Chen Feng settled Xiaoyu at the very back of the cave, letting her sit down with her back against the rock.

He himself crouched at the cave entrance, his sharp eyes peering through the cracks in the rocks, intently watching the situation outside.

A dozen or so beams of flashlight danced and crisscrossed across the rocky beach, like the devil's eyes in a frenzy.

The man and woman had been dragged out from behind the rocks. The man was still struggling and pleading in vain, while the woman was limp and being roughly held up by two thugs.

Their packages were stolen, and the tattered clothes inside were carelessly thrown on the ground and trampled into the mud.

"That's it? You poor wretch!"

"search!"

The thugs began to roughly search the two of them for the last thing they had—a broken watch on the man's wrist that had long since stopped, a pair of cheap earrings on the woman's ears... They even started tearing at their clothes to check for any valuables sewn inside.

Cries, pleas, sneers, curses... all mixed with the sound of the waves, creating a hellish scene.

More snake catchers were spreading out, carefully searching every corner of the rocky beach with flashlights, clearly looking for other stowaways who might have slipped through the net.

"Search carefully! Old Ghost said there were five or six people this time! Don't miss any!"

"One of the older ones ran away! There must be others!"

"Damn it, that old bastard got away! Can't catch him, it's too dark and chaotic over there!"

"Never mind, let's take care of this first! Tie these two up!"

Chen Feng's heart sank slightly.

Sure enough, the snakehead had already revealed the number of people and the general situation to the snake-catching team in advance.

They came prepared and had a clear objective.

Xiaoyu, the middle-aged man who escaped, and I were all on their arrest list.

The middle-aged man seems to have escaped for now, and Xiaoyu and I are hiding here, not yet discovered.

But how long can they hide?

The snake-hunting team searched very carefully, and their flashlight beams were gradually spreading into this more complex area of ​​jagged rocks.

Moreover, once they've caught the couple, under interrogation, they might reveal that there are others, and might even point out the general direction.

Can't sit still.

Chen Feng took a slow breath; the cold air made his mind even clearer.

His right hand quietly gripped the handle of the Type 54 pistol.

With his left hand, he gently patted Xiaoyu's cold, trembling shoulder, signaling her not to be afraid.

Their gaze, like that of the most composed hunter, begins to assess the situation, searching for a glimmer of hope.

The snake-hunting team consists of a dozen or so people, who are armed and organized.

Alone, with a submachine gun, two pistols, a dagger, and... a younger sister who needs protection.

A direct confrontation is the worst possible strategy.

We must take advantage of the terrain, the darkness, and the enemy's underestimation and confusion.

Or... create even greater chaos.

His gaze fell on the couple being humiliated and bound in the distance, then swept over the snake catchers who were searching in different directions and gradually approaching.

In his mind, a cold and resolute plan began to slowly take shape.

It seems blood is destined to flow tonight.

On this beachhead, far from their homeland, yet equally ruthless and predatory.

In order to survive, in order to live with Xiaoyu.

Any demons or monsters that stand in our way,

They all have to use bullets and blades to "say hello".

Not a single one can be left alive.

This vow echoed quietly in the first night breeze of Hong Kong Island.
