American homeless people, surviving in the city

Chapter 145 The Final Adventure

Why is there another sound of a wound tearing open?

Lynch was startled, fearing that if he wasn't careful, the female cultist would break free from the corpse's restraints and injure Sylvia.

He quickly turned around, but the scene before him was completely unexpected.

It turned out that it wasn't the female cult member who injured Sylvia; instead, Sylvia was kneeling on the Indian man's corpse, using the weight of the body to firmly press the female cult member to the ground.

Then, he grabbed the rusty kitchen knife and, without hesitation, brought it down on the female cult member's neck!

This is the source of the sound of blood gushing out that Lin Qi just heard—in an instant, blood gushed out like a fountain!

The female cult member, whose throat had been slit, could only utter empty "heh heh" sounds, unable to utter even a single curse.

Of course, it was impossible for her to beg for mercy at this point.

In just a few seconds, two more lives were lost in this already sinful wooden hut.

Lin Qi stared blankly at Sylvia, a look of bewilderment and shock flashing in his eyes.

She could have simply stood behind him and watched him handle everything.

Why would you suddenly step forward and personally get your hands stained with blood?

Seemingly noticing Lynch's gaze, Sylvia slowly stood up from the Indian man's corpse—now two corpses stacked together—and turned around to look at Lynch.

Her expression was somewhat blank, as if her mind was focused on enduring the pain and her reaction to external stimuli was relatively dull. Her body was also trembling slightly, just like when Lynch killed someone for the first time, but she quickly controlled the trembling.

As the female cultist's throat was cleaved, blood inevitably splattered onto Sylvia's face and clothes, but there was no fear in her eyes, only determination and resolve. She calmly looked directly into Lynch's eyes, a blood-soaked smile spreading across her lips: "It's alright, don't worry, and don't look at me like that."

"I just wanted to help you with some of the burden."

"Besides, they've done too much to me, and there's a debt between us that needs to be repaid."

"This is the first debt I've collected from them. I won't stop."

Lynch nodded without saying anything more. Along the way, he had felt Sylvia's determination countless times. This seemingly gentle girl actually had a firm heart that was completely inconsistent with her appearance.

She was indeed kind, considerate, and understanding, but when it came to enemies, she was tougher than Lynch had imagined.

After dealing with the two reckless intruders, Lynch glanced at the cabin window. He didn't even need to go over to look closely to see the beams of flashlights shining through the window.

He could almost picture how the cultists were surrounding the cabin.

Although they won another victory, the two were now completely trapped.

Lynch examined the pistol in his hand. He had thought that this newly acquired weapon would give him confidence, but after checking the magazine, he found that after the burly man and he himself had used it, there were only three bullets left in the pistol.

This amount of ammunition could at most deal with three people, but through the window, Lin Qi saw that there were more than three beams of flashlight in the woods.

But now that things have come to this, it's too late for regrets or surrender. All the two can do now is fight to the death, fight for victory, or die.

The only good news was that the intruder was this brown-skinned female cult member, who was also the cult's driver.

Lynch removed the Indian man's body from the female cult member's body, rummaged through her pockets for a while, and sure enough, found a small, cold metal object.

This is what Jasper was referring to: the key to the off-road vehicle.

Clutching the car keys tightly in their hands, Lynch and Sylvia exchanged a glance. Both were well aware of their dire situation, but neither uttered a discouraging word.

Lin Qi spoke first: "...Without realizing it, tonight has become so long. Now, how did we end up trapped here again?"

Sylvia tilted her head, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Yes, Mr. Lynch."

"Life is truly amazing. Just a few days ago, we were complete strangers, but in the blink of an eye, this thrilling night was spent with only you by my side."

Lynch shrugged. "To be honest, this isn't what I wanted either."

"If they hadn't attacked me too, you wouldn't be seeing me tonight."

"So, I should thank them then?"

Sylvia's smile widened, and the scar running down her face gave her a beauty that was hard to describe, a beauty completely different from the gentle and graceful beauty that Lynch had seen when they first met.

Lynch felt he drew strength from that smile as well. He took a deep breath: "But anything that could be solved with clever tricks has already been solved. Now, we are truly surrounded here."

Sylvia simply replied softly, "But this isn't the end, is it?"

Lynch nodded firmly: "Of course, this is by no means our end!"

At this moment, the two only had three bargaining chips: a satellite phone, car keys, and a pistol with three bullets left.

Calling for help via satellite phone was completely too late, and it was unrealistic to break through the encirclement with just three bullets. Therefore, the only option left for the two was to rush out and steal the car.

However, although it is only a short walk from the front door of the cabin to where the off-road vehicles are parked, at this moment, it is probably not easy to cross this short distance.

The cultists have completely surrounded the cabin, and they are likely all armed!

Ever since he transmigrated to America, Lin Qi has been missing the peaceful life at Tokyo University every day. Putting aside everything else, even if he were surrounded by cultists at Tokyo University, at least the cultists wouldn't have guns!

Not to mention that Tokyo University has basically no fertile ground for cults to survive; it would be extremely difficult to find a cult member there.

Being in such a dangerous environment, and not being one to take risks, Lin Qi wanted to continue exploring to obtain more valuable information, such as at least determining which side of the cabin had more cultists and which side was relatively safer.

But now, there is absolutely no time for him to test and analyze.

Given the current situation, the only option is to take a risk.

Surrounded by countless cultists in the nearby woods, braving a hail of bullets, if the two could reach the SUV, they would still have a chance to escape!

Lynch knew his idea was very bold and extremely unstable, but he still told Sylvia about it.

Sylvia nodded without hesitation after hearing this: "I understand. I won't be afraid. I believe in you."

Sylvia's face still held a smile, her emerald green eyes reflecting the dappled moonlight streaming through the window. Lin Qi couldn't detect a trace of fear on her face: "Our future can only have one possibility: successfully escaping from here!"
