"They're here," Li Zhonglou said, watching the helicopters flying in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. As for Ge Li and Gao Shan, after he learned that there were mercenaries in the area, he understood that they would have to fend for themselves.
After all, the situation was urgent, and most of his strength was sealed due to the curse. Xiao Bai was also still in a deep sleep. Even if he wanted to bring the two of them out, he was powerless.
"Brother, hurry up and get in!"
The helicopter stopped above the three of them, and a man threw down a long rope ladder. Just as Li Zhonglou was about to let the two of them go up first, a missile suddenly flew from the rear of the helicopter.
With a loud bang, the helicopter was blown up on the spot, turning into a pile of burning iron and falling into the sea.
Li Zhonglou was stunned.
"Damn it!"
Even with his composure, Li Zhonglou couldn't help but curse after reacting, then quickly took the two of them back to shore.
"Boss, why didn't we just hide in the secret passage?"
"Our position must have been exposed, and it's not safe to stay here anymore."
Li Zhonglou sighed. He never expected that someone he had admired would die before his eyes like this. He was about to leave, but was suddenly terminated.
This feeling of frustration made him harbor malice towards the so-called Black Hawk team.
He wished they wouldn't chase him.
Li Zhonglou snorted and led the two of them away along the shore.
However, just ten minutes later, he realized that they had indeed caught up.
"You two hide well!"
Li Zhonglou could no longer hold back. After telling the two to hide in a patch of lush grass, he grabbed a submachine gun and circled back.
About a hundred meters away from him, three armed men were quickly approaching.
"They should be ahead!"
As soon as one of the men spoke, a gunshot rang out from the forest.
"Lao San!"
The other two roared and sprayed gunfire wildly. Unfortunately, Li Zhonglou had already left his position and quietly circled to their left.
In jungle warfare, calmness and composure were key. The actions of the two men at this moment were no different from seeking death in Li Zhonglou's eyes.
Bang!
Taking advantage of their carelessness and killing another one, Li Zhonglou suddenly threw the submachine gun aside and moved forward unarmed.
The last man finally realized the gap between them. At this moment, he had no intention of fighting anymore, and he didn't even bother with his companion's body. He turned and ran.
After running about ten meters, a figure suddenly pounced out. His face changed, and he instinctively drew the dagger at his waist and stabbed at the shadow.
Li Zhonglou grabbed the man's right hand with both hands and used a little force to snatch the dagger away. Then, with a downward press, the man lost his balance and fell towards him.
The next second, Li Zhonglou's dagger was already at his throat.
"If you don't want to die, do as I say!"
Feeling the coldness on his neck, the man's hair stood on end.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
It was easy if he was a coward. Li Zhonglou quickly tied the man's hands.
Then, through interrogation, Li Zhonglou not only learned the location of the Black Hawk team's stronghold but also discovered that the man in front of him could operate a helicopter.
This was a windfall for him. So, he escorted the man to find Li Min and the two of them again, and headed towards the stronghold he had mentioned.
The rest was quite smooth.
Because the other members of the Black Hawk team were still searching for them, the stronghold was empty, with only the helicopter parked there.
Li Zhonglou held the gun to the man's head, and the latter obediently took out the ignition key and started the helicopter.
However, as the helicopter lifted off, Li Zhonglou noticed something was wrong. The man's eyes showed no signs of forced panic, but rather a crazy ruthlessness.
Bang, Li Zhonglou shot and killed the man without hesitation, kicking his body aside. The two people sitting behind asked with surprise,
"Boss, what are you doing?"
Li Min's face was filled with panic, because the helicopter was already more than ten meters above the ground. Without a pilot, they would surely die if they crashed!
"Don't worry, I know how to fly this thing too," Li Zhonglou said calmly before taking over. The reason he wanted the man to operate it was first to ensure successful takeoff, and second, because he himself didn't recognize the navigation system.
So, after taking over, he didn't fly the helicopter away from the island, but circled to another open area and landed.
"Boss, why didn't we leave directly?" Li Min asked curiously.
"Do you know the direction?" Li Zhonglou gave him a side glance.
The two of them then realized.
"Then we can't leave again?"
"Alas, let's see."
Li Zhonglou was also extremely frustrated. He had missed the chance to leave twice in a row, but something always went wrong at the critical moment. His luck was truly something else.
Just then, the roar of a helicopter was heard again from the distance.
Li Zhonglou's eyes lit up. He made a decision almost instantly. This time, no matter what, he had to subdue them first!
"Follow me!"
Leading the two of them, they ran along with the helicopter flying overhead. After a few minutes, the other party finally chose an open space and slowly landed.
Li Zhonglou was hiding behind a large tree, holding a submachine gun, and staring intently at the helicopter.
This time, no matter who the other party was, he was determined to make the first move!
However, when the helicopter actually stopped, and a familiar figure jumped down from it, Li Zhonglou was stunned.
"Long Shi?"
Long Shi, who had just landed and was about to stretch his muscles to show off, heard Li Zhonglou's shout.
"Holy crap, you're really here!"
Long Shi was both surprised and confused, because he saw the submachine gun in Li Zhonglou's hand pointed at him.
Cough, cough, Li Zhonglou, who had just reacted, threw the submachine gun aside and said to the two of them.
"Let's go, this time we can really leave."
He knew some of Long Shi's skills. According to Brother Lang, the mercenaries here were all relatively unknown international teams, which would be no problem for Long Shi.
However, Li Min and the other two were still not at ease, as Long Shi looked too young, perhaps not even twenty years old, and he was alone. The two of them couldn't find any reason to convince themselves that he was a reliable person.
Long Shi, who had also reacted, walked quickly towards Li Zhonglou with excitement.
"Holy crap, why did you lie to me before!"
