"Hold!"

Lei Dong's fleshy face was twisted beyond recognition by extreme anger and a hint of fear that even he himself was unwilling to admit.

He stared intently at the dense forest shrouded in thick fog ahead, the butt of his submachine gun creaking in his hand.

Up in the tree!

That kid is definitely up in the tree!

This is the first reaction of all jungle veterans.

With its high vantage point, it offers a commanding view and allows for both offensive and defensive maneuvers.

"Get out here, you bastard!"

Lei Dong let out a beast-like roar, suddenly raised his gun, and aimed it at a century-old pine tree with the most lush foliage, a dozen meters away.

"Da da da da da da!!"

Fierce flames erupted from the muzzle, and scalding hot shell casings bounced around his feet like raindrops.

The bullets formed an impenetrable net of death, frantically tearing at the crown of the old pine tree.

The branch, as thick as a bowl, snapped in two, and countless emerald green pine needles and broken wood chips exploded in the air into a cloud of green smoke before falling gently down.

Half a magazine of bullets was emptied in just a few seconds.

With red eyes, Lei Dong suddenly turned the gun and aimed it at another large tree next to him.

"Da da da da da!!"

Another burst of frantic gunfire ensued.

The only sounds in the valley were Wei Chong's furious roar and the dull "thud" of bullets piercing tree trunks.

However, there were no screams.

The body did not fall.

There wasn't even the slightest sound.

The tree canopy, riddled with bullets time and again, was empty except for a pile of rotten leaves that had fallen.

Lei Dong's movements gradually slowed down.

His chest heaved violently, and his forehead was covered in large beads of cold sweat.

A chill, even stronger than when his companion screamed, crept up his spine inch by inch.

What about people?

If it's not in a tree, then where could it be?

……

Thirty meters away.

In a muddy pond filled with black water.

A thick layer of rotten, foul-smelling dead branches and leaves floated on the water's surface.

Beneath a piece of rotten wood, two eyes peered through the gaps in the water plants, fixed intently on the figure frantically firing in the center of the valley.

Lu Qingshan was completely submerged in waist-deep, icy mud.

His face, neck, and all exposed skin were covered in black mud, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment.

His breathing was suppressed to the extreme.

Each inhalation is extremely slow and long, with the air staying in the lungs for only a short time before being silently exhaled from between the teeth.

His heartbeat dropped to an unbelievable level, like that of a giant bear hibernating.

He was like a lifeless stone, a piece of rotten wood that had been submerged in water for hundreds of years.

He didn't even blink as bullets whizzed past and crackled through the tree branches.

He is waiting.

Waiting for an opportunity.

In the valley, Lei Dong finally emptied his second magazine.

Beside him, the secondary machine gunner who had been on guard duty quickly took a heavy new magazine from his tactical vest, ready to hand it over.

"Click".

The submachine gun's bolt made a hollow sound.

The gunfire suddenly stopped.

It's now!

In the muddy pond, those two hawk-like eyes suddenly flashed with a terrifying light!

Lu Qingshan's right arm, which had been held horizontally at his side and hidden in a clump of dry water plants, moved.

A black, double-barreled old hunting rifle, its barrel wrapped in burlap, emerged silently from the water plants.

There wasn't a sound of water at all.

The gun barrel, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, was firmly rested on a piece of floating rotten wood beside it.

Aim.

Fire.

The entire process was completed in less than half a second!

"boom--!!"

A deafening, thunderous gunshot, completely different from the soft shot, rang out!

The sound was so loud it felt like it could shatter your eardrums!

A single lead bullet, thicker than an adult's thumb, carrying an unstoppable destructive force, tore through the thin mist and accurately struck Lang Fei, who was handing a magazine to Lei Dong!

Lang Fei hadn't even realized what had happened yet.

He heard a loud bang, and then he felt as if his chin had been slammed hard by an invisible battering sledgehammer.

"puff!!"

Enormous kinetic energy erupted in an instant!

The slug pierced his jawbone, and the enormous rotational force turned his teeth, tongue, nasal bone, and everything else in his skull into a complete mess!

Finally, the bullet, carrying a large amount of red and white brain matter and bone fragments, burst out from the top of his head!

Lang Fei's head looked like a watermelon smashed by a hammer.

The upper half was directly blown away by that terrifying force!

A stream of scalding, viscous liquid, mixed with shattered skull fragments and grayish-white brain tissue, splashed onto Lei Dong's face, which was contorted with shock.

Lei Dong froze completely.

He watched helplessly as his brother, with whom he had spent every day, had his head... gone, just half a meter away from him.

All that remained was a neck cavity still oozing blood, like a broken fountain of flesh and blood.

The headless corpse remained in the posture of handing over a magazine, swaying twice in place.

"thump."

He fell heavily into the muddy water, splashing blood everywhere.

A warm liquid, with a strong fishy smell, slowly slid down Lei Dong's cheek.

He reached out a trembling hand and wiped his face.

His hands were covered in his brother's brains.

"what……"

A roar of incomprehensible meaning escaped from Lei Dong's throat.

fear.

A chilling, bone-deep fear, one he hadn't experienced in over a decade, gripped his heart like countless venomous snakes!

This is not human!

These are demons that crawled out of hell!

Having successfully fired a shot, Lu Qingshan didn't linger.

His body slid back five or six meters silently in the cold muddy water like a slippery eel, instantly disappearing into another, deeper patch of reeds.

As he glided, his right wrist, which was holding the shotgun, suddenly jerked.

"Click."

The scalding hot cartridge case was ejected and fell into the muddy water with a slight "hissing" sound.

With lightning speed, his left hand reached into the bullet belt at his waist and pulled out a second slug, skillfully loading it into the chamber.

The entire action was cold, precise, and mechanical, like a killing machine that had been running countless times.

There was still one bullet in the chamber.

I've packed up the bullets; there are only two left.

Three shots in total.

At this moment, Lei Dong, who was driven to the brink of despair, finally erupted into extreme madness from extreme fear after several seconds of stunned silence!

He let out a roar that sounded inhuman, his bloodshot eyes seeming to drip blood.

Instead of searching for the ghost lurking in the shadows, he abruptly turned around and stared intently at the man who was tied to a large tree and had already passed out, his eyes filled with rage and despair.
