Game: Civilization Paradise
Chapter 55: Sneak Attack
Soon, a panicked Xiaoqi and her group ran through a narrow alley.
Immediately after, Ferenc led his numerous subordinates in pursuit.
Just as the last pursuer was about to run past the alley’s entrance, a pair of hands suddenly shot out from a small door on the right and yanked him inside.
Immediately, Du Yin and the others pinned him down, covering his mouth and holding his limbs.
The player’s eyes went wide as he struggled desperately, making muffled sounds.
At that moment, Long Ming reached out, grabbed the man’s head, and twisted.
CRACK!
The player was killed instantly, collapsing to the ground.
Long Ming immediately picked up the single-shot rifle from the man’s hands, then pulled a box of ammunition from the corpse’s pocket.
The body then slowly dissolved into white light and vanished, leaving a backpack behind.
Long Ming quickly rummaged through the backpack but only found a tactical dagger, some compressed biscuits, and water.
Just then, the second and third to last players from Sinful City heard the strange noise and instinctively turned to look back.
"Weird. Where’d that kid Cato go?"
"I don’t know, he was right behind us a second ago!"
"Something’s not right!"
The two players instantly became vigilant and headed back with their single-shot rifles to investigate.
When they reached the small door, Long Ming burst out without any warning and pulled the trigger!
BANG!
A Sinful City player was instantly headshot.
Just as the other player raised his gun to attack Long Ming, Johnny immediately charged out from behind the door, tackling him to the ground.
Du Yin and the others rushed forward as well, pinning down his arms and legs.
Long Ming then quickly moved in, raised his rifle, and viciously smashed the butt against the man’s forehead, killing him.
"Quick, grab the guns!"
Long Ming said to Johnny and the others.
"Right!"
Johnny and Du Yin quickly picked up the dropped guns and ammunition.
"Let’s go!"
Long Ming then led them in pursuit of Ferenc’s group.
...
Meanwhile, Ferenc and his subordinates were enjoying their "happy hunt."
They would fire a few shots from time to time, killing a few "rats," and taunt them gleefully.
"Run! Go on, run faster!"
...
Listening to the taunts from Ferenc’s group, Xiaoqi and her people were filled with rage.
At that moment, members of the "Rat Pack" gasped for air and shouted to Xiaoqi.
"Sister Qi, we really can’t run anymore!"
"I’m done for!"
...
They had already used up a massive amount of Physical Strength being chased by the zombie horde earlier.
Now, being pursued by Ferren’s group, their Physical Strength was truly at its limit.
Hearing their words, Xiaoqi couldn’t help but bite her lip.
There was only one option left: have everyone scatter, flee for their lives, and hide their things.
However, giving that order would basically be a mutually destructive act.
While scattering could prevent their items from falling into enemy hands, it would be almost impossible for anyone to survive and escape alone.
But Xiaoqi quickly made her decision. She would rather the mission fail completely than let this bunch of bastards get what they want.
With that thought, she was about to order everyone to scatter and run for their lives.
Just then, a series of gunshots suddenly rang out.
"Argh!"
One by one, Ferenc’s subordinates were shot and fell to the ground.
"What’s going on?"
Ferenc was also stunned.
"Boss, we’re being attacked from behind!"
Tank hurriedly reported to Ferenc.
At that moment, a delighted Cloud Fish said to Xiaoqi.
"Sister Qi, Sister Mira is here to save us!"
"No, it’s not Sister Mira. It’s Long Ming and Johnny’s group!"
Xiaoqi turned and saw Long Ming’s group taking cover on the side of the street, continuously firing at Ferenc’s men.
Tang Ye and the others were also a bit dumbfounded.
"How can it be Long Ming’s group?"
"Never mind that, just run!"
Xiaoqi yelled to everyone.
"Yes!"
Everyone sped up and ran forward.
Seeing Xiaoqi’s group use the opportunity to escape, Ferenc was infuriated. He turned his head and said to Tank.
"Tank, take five men and stay behind to deal with them!"
"Yes, Boss."
Tank then stayed behind with five subordinates and returned fire fiercely at Long Ming’s group.
Long Ming’s group immediately scattered and hid behind cars.
BANG! BANG!
A dense spray of bullets instantly hammered the cover Long Ming’s group was using.
BANG! BANG!
Johnny, Long Ming, and the others were pinned down, unable to even peek out. Johnny anxiously yelled to Long Ming.
"Brother, what do we do now?"
"You guys keep them busy!"
Long Ming’s expression shifted as he replied to Johnny and the others.
"Huh? We keep them busy?"
Johnny and the others were dumbfounded.
Without waiting for their agreement, Long Ming took advantage of a gap while the enemy was reloading. He darted out from behind the car, body hunched, and sprinted toward a nearby building.
Tank immediately raised his automatic pistol and fired continuously at Long Ming.
BANG! BANG!
Bullets whistled past Long Ming.
With a leap, Long Ming jumped into the building.
"Dammit!"
Tank couldn’t help but curse when he saw this.
At that moment, Johnny and his men quickly popped out and shot at Tank.
BANG! BANG!
One of Tank’s subordinates was hit in the chest and collapsed, unwilling to die.
Tank and his men immediately returned fire!
"Argh!"
Du Yin was a split-second too slow to dodge. He was hit by two bullets and went down.
Just then, the buck-toothed Zhang Yu fought back his fear and rushed over to pick up Du Yin’s dropped gun. Trembling, he poked his head out.
The moment his head appeared, he was headshot and fell straight down!
The remaining two, Wu Qing and Doken, were about to go for the gun when Johnny quickly stopped them.
"Don’t go! It’s useless even if you get it!"
"Then what do we do?"
Hearing Johnny, Wu Qing and Doken could only shrink back beside him.
Just then, Long Ming suddenly appeared in a second-floor window, aimed at an enemy player, and pulled the trigger.
BANG!
Instantly, a player was shot in the stomach and fell to the ground, howling in pain!
Although the shot wasn’t a vital one and wouldn’t kill him immediately, without any medical supplies, death was practically certain. There was no need for a finishing shot.
"Dammit!"
Seeing his underling taken out, Tank immediately fired at Long Ming.
Long Ming quickly ducked back, reloaded, then popped out from an adjacent window and pulled the trigger again!
BANG!
In an instant, another player from Sinful City fell.
Tank was dumbfounded when he saw this. ’His marksmanship is too good, isn’t it?’
But he quickly recovered and yelled to Tu Ke.
"Suppress him!"
Old Tu and the others immediately started firing continuously at Long Ming.
Tank seized the opportunity to pull out a high-explosive grenade, pull the pin, and after a short count, threw it into the second floor where Long Ming was.
BOOM!
A massive explosion swept through the area.
"You bastard!"
Seeing this, Johnny angrily raised his gun and fired a shot at Tank.
CLANG!
The bullet grazed Tank’s right cheek, leaving a bloody scratch.
Tank quickly ducked behind a car.
At this moment, Old Tu also got vicious. He took out a high-explosive grenade, pulled the pin, and after a short count, threw it toward Johnny’s group.
Before Johnny could even react, the grenade landed.
BOOM!
A massive explosion swept through the area.
"Nice one!"
Tank said excitedly.
