"Xiao Su? Don't shoot!!"

Su Tianyu had just moved his gun when Lao Li's shout came from behind a tree trunk diagonally opposite him.

"Mayor Li, is there anyone behind you?!" Su Tianyu didn't immediately approach but held his gun up and asked in a low voice.

"No one. It's Lao Lu. He ran!" Li Mingsheng replied.

Su Tianyu was stunned for a moment. He immediately bent over and cautiously moved, slowly approaching Li Mingsheng. Seeing that there was no movement in the opposite direction, he finally relaxed and asked, "What happened? Why the shooting?!"

"He wanted to kill me!!" Li Mingsheng replied, "He also had a gun, but it was too dark, and he didn't hit me! I think I hit him once!"

Su Tianyu was completely dumbfounded when he heard this. He couldn't understand why these two wastes with extremely poor qualities suddenly turned on each other.

"I felt something was wrong with him all along the way," Li Mingsheng said, panting. "Based on his personality and previous political stance, he didn't need to run with us, but he kept following. Now it seems he made a choice."

"Who is he working for?" Su Tianyu had returned for too short a time and had never been in the system, so he didn't know what the situation was in the upper echelons of Dragon City.

"Uncertain. The Republican faction, the old Nanhu faction, the old Northern faction—it's possible!" Li Mingsheng replied.

Su Tianyu understood immediately, "So which faction are we?"

Li Mingsheng glanced at him and replied vaguely, "...Consider us the Minzheng Dang faction!"

Su Tianyu felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, "So that means, besides the Minzheng faction, people from other circles and factions might cause trouble tonight?"

"That's right!"

"Fuck!" Su Tianyu collapsed. "Just the two of us against the whole world?!"

"...If I go back, everything will be fine!" Li Mingsheng replied. "Lao Lu running away is basically an open declaration! Someone definitely wants to intercept me tonight."

Su Tianyu immediately racked the bolt and whispered, "Then what are we waiting for?! Let's run!"

"Do you know how to get out of here?!"

"I know, follow me!" Su Tianyu led the way, moving quickly toward the place he had observed earlier.

Although Li Mingsheng hadn't recovered his stamina and was struggling to run, he certainly didn't want to die here, so he gritted his teeth and persevered!

After running wildly for more than ten minutes, the two finally left the small mountain range and fled toward the large canyon that Su Tianyu had seen.

Just as the two were passing through a small basin at the edge of a forest, a slight buzzing sound suddenly arose in the sky.

Su Tianyu suddenly turned his head to look back. The sky was pitch black.

"What's wrong?!" Li Mingsheng asked.

"Reconnaissance helicopter!" Su Tianyu looked at the sky, his voice trembling, and replied, "That damn Lao Lu must have a locator on him! Otherwise, the helicopter wouldn't have followed us so quickly from the forest over there!"

Li Mingsheng immediately said upon hearing this, "Then let's go back, run into the forest! The terrain there is complex!"

"We can't run back into the forest, or it'll be a dead end!" Su Tianyu suddenly turned around, looked around, and recalled the scene he had observed. "Run forward!"

"Are you fucking stupid! Running forward is a plain. We'll be completely finished if the helicopter catches us at this distance!" Lao Li cursed.

"Don't fucking yell at me!" Su Tianyu didn't bother with honorifics at this moment and scolded back without any doubt. "You're good in the office, but you don't know shit in the wild! Follow me!"

After saying that, Su Tianyu strode toward the side of the canyon and kept urging, "Don't look back, just run, quickly!"

Li Mingsheng had no field combat experience and didn't understand military equipment, so he could only run wildly with Su Tianyu!

As the two ran, the buzzing sound in the sky became clearer.

An OH-69D, a small reconnaissance helicopter, sped over from a distance.

Inside the cockpit, a man wearing a private armed uniform sat in the observation seat and shouted, "The distance is too far; fire coverage won't be effective!"

"Launch the aiming flare!" the pilot immediately replied.

Two seconds later, the co-pilot replied, "Ready!"

"Launch!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Four flares, flashing with light, were launched from the gun mounts below the helicopter, then plunged into the sky, which had turned dark.

Inside the basin, Su Tianyu shouted again, "Faster!"

The sound of the flares piercing the air rang out overhead. As Su Tianyu gritted his teeth and ran wildly, he suddenly saw the open space in front of him light up with a light as bright as day. The entire outline of the canyon was clearly displayed before his eyes.

After the flares exploded, they brilliantly illuminated the night sky!

Near the mountains and forests, seven or eight off-road vehicles immediately set off after seeing the flares, heading straight for the target location.

Helicopters are capable of slaughtering, but only when it comes to clearing out armed personnel on a large scale. Su Tianyu and Li Mingsheng were only two people. As long as they hid in areas with complex terrain, such as behind rocks or buildings, the helicopter would be cumbersome. It would be difficult for them to turn around, so they wouldn't be able to focus on killing a small number of targets.

In this way, the real solution still relied on the desperadoes on the ground. Therefore, as soon as the flares lit up, the unknown armed members who had already approached this side immediately rushed to the scene!

At the same time, the helicopter quickly closed in!

Fortunately, Su Tianyu and Li Mingsheng were about to approach the canyon. Otherwise, trying to race a helicopter on foot was pure nonsense!

After the two approached the canyon, Li Mingsheng was about to rush toward the mountains!

"Don't go over there, it's useless!" Su Tianyu shouted and instead rushed toward the relatively wide plain, because just over a hundred meters away, there were two connected ranches!

"Are you stupid?! There's nothing there!"

"If you fucking talk back to me, I'll shoot you dead!" Su Tianyu was really anxious. He ran while shouting, "Come over here!"

Li Mingsheng could only do as he was told.

Su Tianyu jumped over the fence, rushed into the ranch, and headed straight for a row of livestock sheds on the left!

After entering the room, a pungent smell of cow and horse manure hit him. One after another, tall old cows and horses stood up, flapping their wings!

Su Tianyu kicked open the doors of the small fences one after another, ran to the entrance of the shed without a gate, and directly raised his automatic rifle!

"Da da da...!"

The sound of gunfire rang out loudly!

Five seconds later!

"Ta ta ta...!"

The deafening sound of hooves hitting the ground rang out, and a large number of old cows and horses rushed out of the shed!!

Su Tianyu, mixed in with the herd of cows and horses, ran to Li Mingsheng's side and said, "There must be a water source on the ranch!! Find the water source, lie down in the mud pit, and don't move!!"

Inside the helicopter, the co-pilot looked at the thermal imager in shock and saw a group of red dots exploding on the screen. The helicopter was at least two kilometers away from the ranch, so the thermal imager couldn't see the shape of the heat energy, only a dense mass of red dots scattering in all directions!

"Damn it, the kid leading the way is reacting too fast!! We need to get closer!"

"We're in a reconnaissance aircraft. He has an automatic rifle and grenades, and maybe even a gun-mounted grenade launcher. We're at risk of being shot down if we get too close at low altitude!" the pilot immediately replied.

"Run!" Su Tianyu waved his hand frantically at Li Mingsheng!
