4475 The Other Side 444
The dirt and dust that was stirred up covered the two men in a cloud of dirt.
Gong Jie’s eyes burned like they were on fire. Had he been any slower, the bullet would have pierced his abdomen!
“Are you crazy?! Aiming the shot at me?”
“I…” Hua Jin flushed in embarrassment. “I didn’t expect the trigger to be so light!”
“You almost killed me!” Still in shock, the man glared at him. “Put the safety on.”
“Alright.” The actor sulkily put the safety on his pistol and stowed it away carefully.
Frowning, Gong Jie warned him, “Don’t touch it unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
“I know! I’m sorry…” The actor muttered and scowled. He had a fright too and now felt that he was being a burden to Gong Jie. He thought that if it weren’t for him, it would have been much easier for Gong Jie to leave. His stamina was really too far behind. Even so, he gritted his teeth and kept up with Gong Jie.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch. The watch was equipped with an intelligent GPS positioning system. They were about 30 kilometers away from the port.
They weren’t having much luck and haven’t come across any cars on the road. As long as there was something with wheels, it could reduce the burden of the journey.
“I’m so tired…”
The two of them had already traveled 10 kilometers. Along the way, the actor could not bear to drink water. The skin on his lips were chafing badly.
Gong Jie sat down and rubbed his stomach. He was famished after exhausting himself for so long, but he did not have any rations left. He could only take out his drinking piece and have some water.
After resting for a while, they got up and continued on their way. Hua Jin walked on unsteadily. Under the scorching sun, his face turned red from the heat.
In the past, he would have definitely kicked up a fuss. Everyone knew he had ultra-sensitive skin. It burned easily from prolonged exposure to the sun. And now, they didn’t even have access to dry food ration, let alone sunscreen. He wished he were a solar engine that could convert sunlight into energy in his body.
The actor stumbled and suddenly stepped on a piece of soft soil.
“Beep!” The man, who was walking in front, jerked his head around. Before a thought could even form in his head, his reflexes responded by pouncing on the actor. In an instant, the landmine buried under the soil exploded.
Boom!
The power of the landmine sent the two of them flying a few meters away. Gong Jie hugged the actor tightly as the two of them rolled a good distance away.
The actor felt a ringing in his ears, and all the sounds seemed to merge into a long buzz! He completely lost his sense of direction!
Until the two of them stopped.
Gong Jie sat up and shook his head violently. He looked at Hua Jin, who was frowning in his arms, and patted his face gently. Then he noticed that the actor’s ears were bleeding. His eardrums seemed to have been damaged from the explosion. Gong Jie’s hearing was badly affected as well, however, he felt a slight vibration as he sat on the ground.
Years of combat experience told him that a car was coming.
He immediately put the actor down, picked up his rifle, and glared fiercely in the direction of the sound.
Through the scope, he saw an SUV rumbling over. The man narrowed his eyes, aimed at the windshield, and fired two shots.
The bullet pierced through the glass and the two people in the car were caught off guard.
Just as he reached for the landmine at his waist, he hesitated and instantly retracted his hand.
