The gentle touch of the night rain was a bit soul-stirring.
Xiao Yi carried Lan Mei’er as he looked at the abandoned cotton mill that was just inches away from him. He gathered his last bit of energy and flew straight in like a hawk.
The wooden door clanged, and was instantly smashed open by Xiao Yi. After the wood shavings were blown away, the old wooden door fell to the ground with a clang.
Xiao Yi brought Lan Mei’er's figure and disappeared from the wooden door. Xiao Chaoran's gaze turned cold, following that, he went in.
The entire abandoned textile factory seemed to be in chaos. The machine used for spinning cotton was in a rusting heap. The heavy rain had already passed through the broken roof and washed over the factory. The entire ground was full of potholes, and there were many puddles of water. There were even two rats that were shivering in the corner. Their fur was all wet.
Entering the factory, Xiao Yi took a look. Afterwards, he put Lan Mei’er down and leaned him behind an abandoned machine. He sat on the ground and panted heavily. Xiao Chaoran also ignored his image and sat on the ground, his pants was already completely soaked in water. However, Xiao Chaoran, who had always paid attention to his image, did not care about anything at this time.
Survival.
The three of them were doing their best to recover as much energy as they could. They didn't know if there would be another wave of pursuers. Even though Xiao Chaoran and Lan Mei’er had wounds on their bodies, they were still dripping blood. However, the two of them ignored everything and continued to recover as much of their strength as they could.
"Mr. Xiao, is this also tonight's project?" Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chaoran, and spoke with a displeased expression: "Leaning on a building, listening to the wind and rain, brewing tea, and talking about life. After that, you arranged for us to escape for a thousand miles.
Hearing Xiao Yi's mocking, Xiao Chaoran bitterly smiled and said, "Because of me, I have dragged you two down. These people are here to kill me. "
"Who is it?" Xiao Yi's eyes were sharp.
Xiao Chaoran thought of the flying daggers that filled the sky, and said solemnly: "Hongmen, Flying Knife Hall."
Even Lan Mei’er, who was at the side, was truly certain of this answer. He still couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a trace of terror flashed through his eyes.
"Hongmen?" Li Taibai had never told these elders to Xiao Yi before, so Xiao Yi was merely a monk.
"Hongmen, a thousand-year-old sect. They were very famous in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the past few years, it has become the largest gang in the country. " When Xiao Chaoran talked about Hongmen, his eyes lit up. In his voice, there was a trace of pride.
Xiao Yi immediately had an idea about the biggest gang in the country. It was just a few simple words, but they already revealed the might of a thousand years. No wonder he could be so generous, he had actually sent out a Flying Knife Hall. It looked like the Hongmen was determined to win against Xiao Chaoran this time.
But, logically speaking, even if he was wronged. Then, why did he still try to kill Lan Mei’er? Could it be that the Hongmen was not afraid of the power of the Europa Castle at all?
Just as the three were discussing softly, Xiao Chaoran raised his head and looked at the rain that was falling through the roof. Just now, the Flying Knife Hall had already made their move, and did not succeed. Then, the Absolute Flying Knife Hall would not attack again. Looks like, at that time, Flying Knife Hall would probably be dead meat. At that distance of thirty meters, the stray bullets were chasing after him. It looked as if they were exhausting us and driving us here. "What's next, I wonder what's waiting for us?"
"So now you're catching turtles in a jar?" In this kind of life or death situation, Xiao Yi had actually calmed down. Thinking back to last night, he had blocked Li Guangbiao in the underground tunnel, and caught him fish in a jar. Now, he had become the turtle in the sky.
While he was recovering his stamina, he was exchanging views. Suddenly, a light sound rang out in the dark night. It sounded like the wind blowing through grass, but also like the sound of fireflies flapping their wings.
This sound was very, very soft, if not for the fact that Xiao Yi's consciousness had already been squeezed to the limit. At this time, he had never heard of such a thing.
"Get out of the way."
Xiao Yi yelled as he picked up Lan Mei’er and pounced towards the other side. At this time, Xiao Chaoran chose to believe in Xiao Yi. At the same time, he rushed to the other side without hesitation.
Bang.
It was very loud. It was the sound of a sniper rifle's bullets dropping onto the ground.
In this abandoned cotton factory, on top of a beam high up in the sky. It happened to be carrying a Barrett M82A1, a sniper rifle equipped with an optical scope that would accurately fire at the most important single target. The optical scope can be used to observe effectively under the condition of poor visibility, thus improving the accuracy of aiming. In addition, this sniper rifle also had a night vision scope installed on it. When shooting at night, the rifle would be illuminated through the night vision scope or the optical scope would be switched on.
Behind the sniper rifle was a man with a cold expression. His eyes were like the stars in the night sky, staring intently at the night vision scope. The silencer protected his hiding spot well.
Finally, it was time to take their lives. At this time, the Hongmen actually sent out a sniper with his life on the line.
Especially in this abandoned place, they would always be the three points in the night vision goggles. From a high vantage point, the accuracy and power of a sniper's snipe could kill them in one blow.
Xiao Chaoran was knowledgeable, and whispered: "This is a sniper."
Unknowingly, Xiao Yi's back was covered in a layer of cold sweat. Lan Mei’er's face gradually turned desperate. In this bungalow, snipers at high altitudes could be seen clearly. They could shoot out a bullet at any moment. Furthermore, a sniper was not a stray bullet. Its accuracy was incomparable, but its power was equally incomparable.
In this moment of life and death, Xiao Chaoran suddenly took a deep breath and said coldly: "This is a trap he had set up. There is only such an escape place in the vicinity of the Zuiyue Tea House. Hongmen has a very clear understanding of my nature and habits. The throwing daggers that have been lying in ambush along the way have forced us into this place without stop. And the sniper in the sky just took advantage of the moment when our breathing was disordered to attack us, a fatal blow. "
Xiao Chaoran analyzed everything in detail, but he was no longer able to do anything.
Coming in was easy, but going out was hard. This place was like a burial ground that had been prepared for them.
Xiao Yi raised his head, looked at the night sky, and shouted sternly. "A coward, what kind of hero are you? Could it be that it will forever only know how to shoot from behind? "
However, the factory remained silent at night.
"It's useless." Xiao Chaoran said in a low voice: "People in the Hongmen have always pursued goals, not processes. I've fought with them for so many years, I've long gotten used to their natures. Next, they fired again. I'll throw you out later, and I'll catch that bullet. This kind of sniper rifle is always semi-automatic and cannot be fired consecutively. "
At this time, Xiao Chaoran was still very calm as he analyzed the situation. At this juncture, he chose to sacrifice himself. It was just that, the reason he threw Xiao Yi and Lan Mei’er out to escape was because there was only one sniper here. Moreover, the speed at which it was thrown was fast enough to dodge the second bullet.
However, there were now three Barrett M82A1 mounted on the beam. Coincidentally, they were all prepared for these three people.
It was destined that tonight would be the night he would die in the wilderness.
However, in regards to Xiao Chaoran's decision to sacrifice himself for his own good, that was the spirit. In the end, Xiao Yi was still moved, and a warm feeling flowed through his heart. He opened his mouth and spoke softly: "Since the enemy has such precise calculations, how can there only be one sniper rifle? "Don't waste your time, wait for the opportunity to counterattack."
"Counterattack?" Xiao Chaoran's mouth was wide open in shock, he never expected this to happen. The Xiao Yi at this time, actually still had the courage to counterattack.
Xiao Yi's face became determined little by little, and said coldly: "Could it be, we are going to sit and wait for death? Since you want our lives, then let's just kill ourselves.
Xiao Yi was never an indecisive person, his tone was sharp and every word was like a halberd.
Xiao Chaoran was slightly stunned, then he suddenly laughed out loud, and arrogantly said: "Good, one dead, one dead is enough, a pair profited. Since brother has such pride, then wouldn't it mean that I, Xiao Chaoran, would become weak? "
Just when the two's fighting spirit reached its peak, the sniper made his move again. This time, three sniper rifles were fired at the same time. Three bullets were aimed at the three human heads on the ground.
The three snipers were also puzzled. As a sniper, even though the overall situation was currently under control. They were still following their professional ethics and attacking without warning. For a sniper, a long wait can be used to summarize their life. They were waiting for the three people below to be killed when their minds were at their most relaxed.
Who would have thought that the three people waiting for them actually laughed out loud? When the atmosphere was tense, he burst out laughing. It was really too inconceivable. However, when he was laughing, he was also the most relaxed.
The three snipers on the beam shot at the same time in tacit understanding.
Right now, the three of them were only relying on Xiao Yi's superb senses to escape. However, as the sole disciple of the Tang Sect, in this kind of life or death situation, Xiao Yi had ignited the potential in his body. Although he was talking, his ears were constantly focused on the situation around him.
Xiao Yi who had been practicing his Hidden Weapon Technique for many years was watching the battle attentively at this time. As expected, just as the three bullets left the gun barrel, Xiao Yi pulled Lan Mei’er and pounced to the side.
The current Xiao Chaoran already had a great deal of tacit understanding, so there was no need for Xiao Yi to remind him. He spontaneously followed Xiao Yi and pounced towards the side. His movements were swift like an ape.
The three bullets missed. The three snipers on the crossbeam were stunned.
