Ch-ch...
A sharp screech of brakes followed.
As the car came to a steady halt, Lan Shiyi immediately exited with his gun, while Song Kaifei remained in the vehicle, setting up his weapon and maintaining vigilance.
"I'll cover you," Song Kaifei said quickly, his expression one of intense focus.
He had already spotted Li Erniu's silhouette earlier, allowing him to make a swift, approximate judgment of Li Erniu's direction.
Without delay, Song Kaifei raised his gun and began firing towards Li Erniu's position.
Bang bang bang...
Over a dozen bullets were unleashed in quick succession.
Li Erniu hadn't expected his hiding spot to be discovered so quickly and immediately began to evade.
Concurrently, Lan Shiyi pressed himself close to the wall and reported, "Lan Wu, Lan Liu, Lan Shiyi is entering. Over."
"Lan Wu acknowledges!"
"Lan Liu acknowledges. Be careful of mines. Over."
The voices of Wang Yanbing and He Chenguang immediately responded on the comms channel.
"Red One, Red One, Red Two is under fire, under fire! Requesting support. Over!" Li Erniu exclaimed.
Hearing Li Erniu's plea, Qin Feng immediately returned fire towards Song Kaifei, who was concealed in the smoke, and stated into his earpiece, "Understood. I'm on my way. Stay safe."
Outside the factory, He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing heard the gunfire and simultaneously turned their heads.
Upon clearly assessing the situation, both men exclaimed in unison, "Holy cow, crossfire!"
Instantly, they both aimed their weapons towards Qin Feng and began to observe.
After evading Li Erniu, Song Kaifei didn't linger for a prolonged engagement. After dropping off Lan Shiyi, he quickly drove away. As he departed, he deliberately gave a signal towards Lan Shisan.
This action indicated that more than half of their plan had been successfully executed.
With Song Kaifei's departure, the three individuals outside the factory breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Seeing that Song Kaifei was no longer attacking and had retreated, Li Erniu immediately got up and shifted his position.
"Red Two, I'll rendezvous with you shortly." In mere seconds, Qin Feng had reached Li Erniu's side.
Meanwhile, He Chenguang, who had been concealed outside, had been closely monitoring the situation.
When he saw Qin Feng's movements, He Chenguang narrowed his eyes, preparing to aim.
However, in the blink of an eye, before He Chenguang could fire, Qin Feng's figure vanished once more.
Upon seeing this, He Chenguang's expression remained largely unchanged. He gestured towards Wang Yanbing.
The two, following their prearranged plan, continued to advance towards the factory ahead.
However, at this moment, other sounds began to emanate from within the factory.
Qin Feng and Li Erniu, who had been hiding, had already rejoined forces.
Thump, thump, thump...
Qin Feng heard the sound of footsteps and turned to look.
Although the other party was deliberately treading lightly, Qin Feng could still detect them.
Qin Feng then signaled Li Erniu, indicating for him to remain quiet, and then moved towards the side.
That position was the corner of a stairwell. Since someone was preparing to ascend, they might as well know how they met their end.
If he wasn't mistaken, the person ascending the stairs was likely Lan Shiyi.
Qin Feng's expression remained calm. He drew a pistol from his lower back.
The pistol in his hand brought him a sense of security; after all, at this moment, nothing offered greater reassurance than a firearm.
Li Erniu also felt extremely tense at this moment, his heart pounding rapidly. Yet, he remained entirely focused on the stairwell where they were ambushing.
Qin Feng was also lying in wait at that very spot.
Thump, thump, thump...
The sound of footsteps echoed again, but this time the sound was louder than before, indicating that the person was getting closer.
They could clearly see Lan Shiyi holding a gun.
A slight smile played on Qin Feng's lips as he directly aimed his pistol at Lan Shisan's head.
Under these circumstances, Lan Shisan showed no discernible expression.
He glanced in Qin Feng's direction, crouched down, and prepared to attack.
But Qin Feng's reaction was far quicker. He delivered a kick, his right leg shooting out rapidly, carrying a fierce gust of wind, and slammed into Lan Shiyi.
Bang!
Before Lan Shiyi could even fire the gun he was holding, he was sent flying backward by the kick.
Simultaneously, the pistol in Qin Feng's hand discharged.
The confrontation between them seemed to lack any suspense.
Lan Shisan, struck in the forehead, emitted blue smoke and was eliminated.
Qin Feng paid no further attention to Lan Shiyi and turned to Li Erniu, saying, "Red Two, transfer immediately."
"Acknowledged!"
Both Qin Feng and Li Erniu cautiously observed their surroundings and moved towards the three o'clock direction.
At this time, Wang Yanbing had also reached the entrance.
Taking advantage of the moment Qin Feng and Li Erniu were dealing with Lan Shiyi, Wang Yanbing found a suitable moment to fire.
Seeing movement, Wang Yanbing immediately pulled the trigger.
Hearing the gunfire, Qin Feng immediately turned his attention towards Wang Yanbing's position. He instinctively pushed Li Erniu aside.
The two took cover behind a nearby pillar.
Wang Yanbing's speed surprised Qin Feng somewhat.
Bang!
The shot rang out, but the bullet missed its target.
However, Wang Yanbing remained undeterred. Even if he missed, it didn't matter, as he had now located the two individuals.
Furthermore, Wang Yanbing's primary target was Li Erniu.
But Qin Feng was swift, quickly pushing Li Erniu to a different location.
Li Erniu, watching the bullet whiz past him, felt a surge of excitement within.
"Brother Feng, you scared me to death! Thank goodness you saved me!"
"Pay attention, someone's coming!"
"Got him!"
Qin Feng's hand still tightly gripped his sniper rifle. He knew that the person at the entrance might not just be Wang Yanbing; He Chenguang might also have arrived at this position.
With this thought, he raised his rifle and began spraying fire towards the entrance.
Bang bang bang...
Qin Feng unleashed several shots in rapid succession.
He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing had already taken cover.
Upon hearing the gunfire, they exchanged glances, as if asking each other what to do.
Now, only the four of them remained. How could they achieve victory?
He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing were hiding behind the stone pillars at the entrance.
A clear stalemate had been reached between the two sides, with neither able to gain the upper hand.
At this moment, Xu Tianlong, who was guarding the perimeter outside, asked, "Lan Wu, Lan Liu, what's the situation? Over!"
He Chenguang reported calmly, "Lan Nine, Lan Eleven is eliminated. We have also been discovered. Over!"
"Lan Liu, do you require support? Over!" Hearing He Chenguang's words, Xu Tianlong understood that the situation had become precarious and immediately inquired.
Upon hearing this, He Chenguang's gaze shifted to Wang Yanbing. Wang Yanbing, sensing He Chenguang's gaze, immediately shook his head.
He and He Chenguang were both hiding behind the stone pillars and were unable to move.
Fortunately, the stone pillar was sturdy and thick enough to withstand sniper rounds.
Otherwise, they would have been eliminated by Qin Feng's shots long ago, given his precise marksmanship.
Seeing this, He Chenguang quickly replied, "Don't come in yet. We can't determine the positions of the two inside, and they are constantly moving. If you come in, you'll likely become targets. Over!"
Xu Tianlong, clearly still concerned, asked, "Confirm your safety. Over!"
