From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

Only at this moment did the young robber belatedly realize what was happening, and impatiently raised his hand to try and slap away the gun barrel pressed against his head.

I yelled sternly, "Get up right now! Don't move!"

The cold, hard muzzle of the gun was pressed firmly against the back of his head. The young robber froze, then abruptly looked up and turned around.

I had already broken free of my restraints and was still holding the hunting rifle, pointing it at him.

When he caught sight of his unconscious middle-aged accomplice on the ground, his face turned deathly pale.

He hurriedly raised his hands, his voice trembling slightly: "You...how could you...?"

"Don't move! Move a muscle and I'll kill you!" Now it's my turn to be arrogant.

But I knew in my heart that these outlaws who roamed the wilderness year after year would never truly submit.

He was feigning weakness and trembling at this moment, only looking for an opportunity to turn the tables on me.

Although I have never fired a gun, I am still afraid of killing someone and breaking the law.

But in this isolated, deserted area, if I hesitate or have a soft heart, we will be the ones who die.

Knowing there was no time to lose, I immediately shouted to Luo Peng and Su Wan, "Luo Peng, take Su Wan and get out of here right now!"

Luo Peng was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and rushed over like a madman to help up the disheveled Su Wan.

I held my gun firmly against the young robber, my mind on edge, not daring to relax for a moment.

But no one expected that an accident would suddenly happen!

My attention was completely focused on the young robber in front of me, and I didn't notice anything behind me.

The middle-aged robber, who had been lying unconscious on the ground, suddenly woke up.

He gripped a thick wooden stick he had picked up, silently crept up behind me, and smashed it hard on the back of my head!

"Bang!"

The violent impact sound was dull and heavy.

My head suddenly throbbed with excruciating pain, my vision went completely white, the world spun around me and I saw stars, and I couldn't control myself as I fell forward!

My mind was foggy, my body was weak, and even standing was extremely difficult.

"Brother Lin!!"

Luo Peng's heart-wrenching roar rang out.

He let out a curse and then charged at the middle-aged robber.

His pent-up anger from the past two days finally erupted, and he charged forward like a mad tiger!

He was robbed of his food, ambushed, and tormented by guilt for two whole days.

Luo Peng completely lost his mind and roared as he lunged straight at the middle-aged robber!

"You bastard! I'll kill you!!"

With the hunting rifle in our hands, he no longer had any worries.

He roared and charged forward, recklessly and fearlessly crashing into the middle-aged robber!

The laws of the no-man's-land are fully revealed at this moment.

There was no civility, no reasoning, and no rules.

Only the ruthless, the courageous, and the fearless survive!

At the same time, the young robber in front of me saw the situation reverse, his eyes hardened, and he immediately reached out to snatch the hunting rifle from my hand.

My head was spinning and throbbing, and my vision was blurry, but I still gripped the gun tightly.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a slender figure rushed forward.

Ignoring her own safety, Su Wan bit the young robber's arm hard!

"ah!!"

The young robber screamed in pain and suddenly pushed Su Wan away violently.

Su Wan's back slammed heavily against the wall, causing her to groan in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and lunged forward again to stop him.

"Lin Ye! Wake up! Wake up now!"

Su Wan's anxious shouts pierced my ears, barely clearing my muddled consciousness a little.

I struggled to open my eyes, and my vision gradually cleared.

Luo Peng had already pinned the middle-aged robber to the ground, his fists raining down like a storm!

Every punch was delivered with all his might, each one landing with a visceral impact!

"Stealing my grain! Scamming me!"

"You wanted to kill someone, didn't you? Come on!"

The middle-aged robber, who had spent years roaming the wilderness, was fierce and extremely strong, and struggled desperately to fight back.

But at this moment, Luo Peng had completely gone mad, disregarding the consequences and fighting with his life on the line.

Inside the cramped tin shack, dust filled the air, and iron-framed tables and chairs were overturned.

The sounds of impact, shouts, and hand-to-hand combat mingled together.

This is the most brutal and realistic life-or-death struggle, with no skills involved, only a relentless fight to the death!

The moment my vision cleared completely, I saw the young robber bend down to pick up a brick from the ground and walk toward me with a menacing expression!

He held the brick high, his eyes fierce, as if he wanted to smash me to death right here!

I endured the excruciating pain in the back of my head and, with my last ounce of strength, jerked my head to dodge the falling brick!

"Bang!"

The blue bricks crashed heavily to the ground, sending shards of stone flying that grazed my ears and stung my cheeks.

Before the other person could raise their hand a second time, I gritted my teeth, braced myself against my swaying body, and raised the short-barreled shotgun in my hand.

Aim at his chest and pull the trigger decisively!

"Bang!!"

A deafening gunshot suddenly rang out, shattering the previously deathly silence of the wasteland.

This homemade shotgun wasn't very powerful; it fired only steel ball pellets.

Even at such close range, its power is enough to be fatal!

A barrage of steel balls slammed into the young robber's chest, sending him staggering and flying backward from the impact!

Blood splattered everywhere in an instant, and clothes were instantly soaked in scalding blood, riddled with gruesome bullet holes.

"Second child!!"

Witnessing this scene, the middle-aged robber who was being suppressed by Luo Peng was instantly filled with rage and let out a heart-wrenching roar.

He frantically tried to break free and get up to save his companion, but Luo Peng didn't give him the chance at all.

Luo Peng continued to pound his fists relentlessly, causing his opponent to spit blood from his mouth and nose, leaving him unrecognizable.

Even covered in blood and disheveled, the middle-aged robber still had a fierce look in his eyes, roaring and threatening wildly:

"You dare lay a hand on me? You're dead!!"

"Don't think it's just the two of us! I have brothers nearby! They'll be here soon! None of you will escape!!"

The harsh threat sent chills down my spine.

But at this moment, we have been completely driven into a corner, with nowhere to retreat and nowhere to tolerate.

Kindness is useless, tolerance is useless, and reasoning is even more useless.

Dust billowed inside the tin shack, and the lingering sound of the shotgun blast made everyone's eardrums buzz.

In the instant I pulled the trigger, there was no hesitation in my mind; only the most frantic survival instinct in such a desperate situation remained.

There are no laws, let alone justice, in the no-man's-land.

If you don't kill him, he'll turn around and kill you.

Seeing the young robber who had been shot, lying on the ground, curled up and convulsing, I froze on the spot, my mind blank, and it took me a long time to come back to my senses.

This was the first time I had ever shot someone. A chilling sense of guilt and an extreme fear of survival instantly overwhelmed me.

Before I could regain my composure, the middle-aged robber on the ground saw his companion seriously injured and suddenly broke free from Luo Peng's restraint.

With bloodshot eyes, it lunged at me like a madman!

Luo Peng could no longer hold him back and shouted anxiously, "Brother Lin! Watch out behind you!"

The moment the words left my mouth, before I could even turn my head to react, I was struck by a powerful kick to the back.

"Bang!"

The enormous impact sent me flying forward, crashing heavily onto the dusty, rubble-covered ground.

The middle-aged robber showed no sign of stopping, his eyes fierce as he pressed closer, clearly determined to fight to the death.
