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

The darkness was fragmented by the beam of the flashlight.

The salty sea breeze, carrying the roar of the waves and the faint clamor of the distant city, could not suppress the sudden burst of excitement and cruelty from human hunting on that devastated beach.

Five or six bright beams of flashlight, like shark fins that have smelled blood, pierced the darkness and swept and shone from different directions toward the huge rocky maze where Chen Feng and Xiao Yu were hiding.

The beam of light swept across the wet rock surface, reflecting a ghastly white light; it swept through narrow crevices, illuminating the swirling dust and fine sea foam.

Chen Feng crouched in the narrow entrance of the triangular recess, his body pressed against the cold, damp rock.

He tightly shielded Xiaoyu in the deepest corner behind him, completely blocking the only exit with his own body.

Xiaoyu curled up, her hands gripping his work clothes tightly on his back, her face buried in his back, holding her breath, her body trembling slightly uncontrollably.

Outside, the shouts and footsteps of the snake-hunting team grew closer, accompanied by the muffled thuds of sticks striking rocks and vulgar curses.

"...Damn it, where did they go?"

"I think I saw a shadow flicker over here just now?"

"Search carefully! They're definitely hiding in this pile of rocks!"

"Separate teams! Don't let them escape!"

The footsteps dispersed, approaching from different directions.

The flashlight beam swept more intensely across every dent and crevice in the rock.

Chen Feng's heartbeat was steady and powerful, like a war drum beating steadily in his chest.

His eyes peered through the cracks in the rocks, calmly observing the movement of the beams of light outside, while his ears picked up the location and distance of every footstep.

His brain was like a high-speed computer, rapidly processing information:

The group that chased the middle-aged man, numbering about seven or eight, had already disappeared into the darker, steeper, rocky area on the right and wouldn't be looking back for the time being.

Five or six men were escorting the couple away, shoving and cursing as they pushed their terrified "trophies" toward a faintly visible, deserted path above. The path was relatively far away, but not completely out of sight.

Five or six people were searching their way, scattered but forming a fan shape, and had already entered a 30-meter radius.

Further away, there seemed to be two or three other people wandering aimlessly in other areas of the beach, randomly shining their flashlights.

Of the total number of people, excluding those who have already left sight, the only ones who pose a direct threat right now are these five or six.

That's enough to handle it.

But the prerequisite is that it must be fast!

We have to be ruthless!

Before others can react and form an encirclement, the immediate threat must be eliminated, and enough chaos must be created to give Xiaoyu and herself a chance to escape the battlefield.

There is only one chance.

Chen Feng's fingers, resting on the gun handle at his waist, tightened slightly.

The cold, metallic touch made him even more focused.

Just then—

A beam of flashlight swept in from the side without warning, passing right through a narrow gap between two rocks, and shining directly on the half of Chen Feng's face that was exposed at the edge of the cave!

The bright, blinding spot of light instantly revealed his angular profile, stained with dirt and sea foam, yet as cold and stern as a stone carving!

"Quick! There's someone here!!"

A sharp, excited, and distorted roar rang out like thunder on the silent beach!

It was that thug who was shining a flashlight and happened to spot Chen Feng!

He was less than 20 meters away from the crevices where Chen Feng was hiding!

That shout was like stirring up a hornet's nest!

"Where?!"

"Grab him!"

"Don't let him get away!"

In an instant, four or five beams of flashlight and a cacophony of shouts converged on this side from different directions!

The five or six people who had been searching separately, like hyenas smelling meat, immediately abandoned their original path and excitedly rushed towards the direction from which the shouts came!

The footsteps were hurried and chaotic, making a crackling sound as they stepped on the rocks and puddles!

"Xiaoyu, hold on tight, close your eyes!"

Without turning his head, Chen Feng growled at Xiao Yu behind him in a voice so low that only he could hear it.

Before he finished speaking, he moved!

Instead of retreating or dodging the blinding flashlight beam, it burst out of the crater like a spring that had been compressed to its limit. Facing the converging beams of light and the rushing figures, it sprang out of the crater!

Leaning forward and lowering his center of gravity, he resembles a cheetah pouncing on its prey!

The instant he emerged from the crater and his body was exposed, his right hand flashed out of his waist and drew a Type 54 pistol!

Almost simultaneously, his left hand reached out to protect his body, maintain his balance, and subtly conceal the movement of his right hand holding the gun!

Bang bang bang bang bang! !

Without the slightest hesitation, without the slightest doubt!

The moment the gun barrel shot out, it was already spitting out a blazing tongue of fire!

Chen Feng didn't even deliberately aim at each specific target. His eyes locked onto the three most threatening figures at the forefront in a very short time. His arms swung quickly and steadily with his body movements and the rhythm of his instinctive shooting!

The crisp, deafening bursts of fire from the Type 54 pistol, like a series of dense and deadly thunderclaps, suddenly exploded on this beach shrouded in the sound of the waves!

The muzzle flashes burst into blinding orange-red bursts in the darkness, instantly illuminating Chen Feng's cold, iron-like face and his eyes, which shone terrifyingly bright in the firelight and were devoid of any emotion!

The three thugs at the front hadn't even seen who was rushing out from behind the rocks, nor had they had time to make any effective dodging or counterattack moves, when they felt as if they had been hit hard in the chest by an invisible hammer!

puff!puff!puff!

The bullet tore through thin clothing and flesh, shattered the sternum, and penetrated the chest cavity, bringing out a cloud of blood and shattered internal organs!

Three short, piercing screams rang out almost simultaneously, then abruptly ceased!

The three figures were thrown backward as if hit by an oncoming truck, crashing heavily onto the slippery, rocky ground, splashing mud and blood everywhere!

The flashlight flew out of my hand, tracing several chaotic arcs of light in the darkness before crashing to the ground, its beam either extinguished or shining erratically.

dead!

One look, and three kills!

But this is just the beginning!

The other two or three thugs who rushed over were completely stunned by this sudden and thunderous killing!

The sneers and excitement on their faces froze instantly, replaced by boundless horror and fear!

Some people instinctively stopped their running pace, and some even stumbled and fell because they couldn't stop in time!

They saw the bloody hole that had exploded in their comrade's chest, saw the figure standing in the darkness with a gun, like the Grim Reaper, and heard the still-echoing, soul-chilling gunshots!

"A gun! He has a gun!"

"Damn! He's got a tough customer!"

"quick……"

Before the scream had even faded—

Boom! !

Two more gunshots rang out, almost in quick succession!
