Chapter 33 Journey to Hpakant

Rifle butt: I am meant to be held against the shoulder socket.

Magazine: I am used to hold bullets!

Front sight: When shooting, please align me, the rear sight, and the target in a straight line.

Rear sight: That's right, the rear sight that the front sight mentioned is me.

Selector switch: Do you see these three positions? They are safe, full-auto, and semi-auto.

...

Having cultivated the Body Refining chapter, Qin Xuan's spirit and reflexes had undergone a qualitative leap.

Relying solely on the inner voices of the rifle's parts, he quickly mastered the use of firearms.

After teaching the usage method to Xiao Ya, Qin Xuan then approached Yu En, who was trembling.

"Still scared?"

He reached out his left hand and stroked Yu En's head.

Yu En instinctively flinched, then nodded slightly.

In fact, due to the dim lighting, she hadn't seen the fight clearly.

But when a warm liquid splattered onto her face, accompanied by choking sounds of "Heh—heh—", all the scenes automatically replayed in her mind.

Yu En wanted to scream, but no sound came out.

She felt as if something was strangling her throat.

She also felt that the person making the choking sounds of "Heh—heh—" was herself.

"It's alright, it's all over."

Having familiarized herself with the firearms, Xiao Ya also came to Yu En's side.

Extending her hands, she gently hugged Yu En.

"Yu En, you must remember, these people are bad people."

"If we don't kill them, they will kill us instead."

"Do you want to die?"

"If not, then they must die."

After speaking, she gently stroked Yu En's hair.

Her charming eyes lost their focus.

Once upon a time, these were the words she used to comfort herself.

She never expected that over a decade later, she would be saying them to someone else.

...

The agreed-upon time with the mercenaries was drawing nearer.

By now, Yu En had gradually calmed down under Xiao Ya's comfort.

The translator, who had been scared into fainting by Wu Mi, had also woken up.

However, he was now sitting on the ground with a flushed face, remaining silent.

Perhaps he was overwhelmed by shame from wetting himself in public, or perhaps he was angry at his own cowardice.

Bang!

As a loud gunshot echoed in the distance, a cacophony of gunfire began to erupt.

Qin Xuan, along with Xiao Ya and the others, hid in the darkest corner of the room, their gun muzzles pointed towards the door.

This was to enable them to make the appropriate judgments the moment the door opened.

A few minutes later, a beam of light shone in from the doorway.

Judging by their attire, they were soldiers of the warlord.

Just as Qin Xuan raised his gun to fire, he heard a "bang."

The person was slammed against the wall by a fully armed armored car.

"Boss Xiao, are you guys in there?"

"Can you hear me?"

A mercenary who spoke Longguo language shouted loudly into the room.

Xiao Ya recognized the person and quickly replied.

"We're here, hurry and get us out!"

"Okay!"

Upon confirmation, the person responded.

He said a few words in Burmese to the driver, who then adjusted the angle and aimed the car door directly at the room door.

"Quick, get in!"

Hearing the mercenary's voice, Qin Xuan and the other two sprinted.

But it wasn't until Xiao Ya and Yu En were safely in the car that Qin Xuan suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Wait, where's the translator?"

He quickly turned back to look into the room.

As expected, the translator had already fainted from the roaring gunfire.

"Aiya, you're really weak!"

Despite his taunts, Qin Xuan's actions were not slow.

He first flipped back with extreme speed, then, like picking up a chick, he grabbed the translator and ran back.

"Everyone's here, gogogo!"

The mercenary forcefully shut the car door and urged his teammate driving to leave quickly.

His teammate was not foolish either; he shifted into reverse and then floored the accelerator.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble!"

With the roaring engine, the armored car, like a fierce beast, roared out of the military camp.

Even when they encountered makeshift roadblocks on the way, their solid bodies smashed through them.

"Boss Xiao, are you alright?"

After escaping danger, the mercenary captain, Wen Lin, inquired about the situation of Xiao Ya and the others via the walkie-talkie.

Xiao Ya hummed in response and then asked the other party about their current situation.

"During the recent exchange of fire, we wiped out most of the garrison in Wu Mi's camp."

"Moreover, coincidentally, their main forces do not seem to be nearby."

Xiao Ya: "This news is quite good..."

"Yes."

"However, the news of Wu Mi's death has already spread, and it's likely that his subordinates will soon dispatch a large number of troops to pursue us."

"So where do we go next?" Xiao Ya's brows furrowed.

Although she had been to Myanmar many times, she had no dealings with important figures there.

Especially those so-called warlords, whom she detested.

But in the current situation, they had to find a warlord powerful enough to counter Wu Mi's forces as a backing.

Only then would they have a chance to return to Longguo.

After a brief silence, Wen Lin's voice sounded again.

He said he had found a Dragon descendant warlord named Pan Lin.

The other party stated that although he was a citizen of Myanmar, his heart was inclined towards Longguo, and as long as Xiao Ya and the others were willing to come, he would be very willing to accept and protect them.

Xiao Ya pondered for a moment after hearing this.

She didn't know if what the other party said was true or false, but at the moment, she seemed to have no better option than to trust him.

"Alright, let's do it, we're going to Hpakant!"

With the destination confirmed, the group wasted no more time.

The driver floored the accelerator and drove directly towards Hpakant.

The distance from Myitkyina to Hpakant was not far, only a little over a hundred kilometers.

If it were in Longguo, it might only take about two hours to reach.

However, the muddy dirt roads and checkpoints along the way greatly slowed down Qin Xuan and the others' progress.

If Commander Pan Lin had not specifically sent troops to meet them, this stretch of road alone would have taken them half a day.

Upon arrival in Hpakant, Pan Lin did not rush to meet Qin Xuan and the others.

Instead, he thoughtfully arranged accommodation, food, and everything else they needed for Qin Xuan and his group.

At the same time, he also arranged for a large number of soldiers to guard the accommodation to ensure that Qin Xuan and the others would not be disturbed by outsiders while resting at night.

After dinner, everyone returned to their respective rooms and turned off the lights to rest.

Xiao Ya reflected on her wrong decisions in the past few days before sleeping.

Yu En, on the other hand, was restless due to the excessive stimulation she had received during the day.

As for Qin Xuan, he did not experience any negative emotions due to the day's events.

On the contrary, holding the guard's rifle, he was extremely excited.

He not only struck various cool poses with the gun but also occasionally pressed the shutter, sharing all his handsome photos with Qin Ling'er, who was far away in Jiangcheng.
