The two of them coordinated seamlessly.
At this moment, someone seemed to have noticed their intentional tracks and threw an infrared timed grenade at them. Chu He saw it immediately.
This grenade would take about ten seconds to detonate. Chu He immediately walked over and kicked the grenade away. Gu Jinglian raised his AK47 and fired a bullet, detonating the grenade.
Chu He turned around and threw Linxi to the ground. A scorching heat wave blanketed them.
Behind them, a huge fire rose, accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, forming a towering wall of flames about a hundred meters long in the coconut tree forest.
Chu He struggled to stand up. She looked back and saw several tanks passing through the raging fire and slowly approaching. They could feel waves of air sweeping towards them.
The tank crossed the line of fire and charged down a dozen soldiers.
Gu Jinglian had a long belts of bullets slung across his shoulders and his face was covered in sweat. Carrying the extremely heavy Gatling Gun, he fired fiercely at the troops behind them!
Chu He held the XM109 sniper rifle, and the blood and white liquid sprayed endlessly amongst the forest. She didn’t know how many people she had killed, but she vaguely felt that she had returned to the time when she was still a mercenary, when she would only stop when she ran out of bullets.
Several laser beams quickly scanned the forest.
These were special instruments used to detect signs of life and electronic devices.
Gu Jinglian immediately recognized it. Gritting his teeth, he nimbly flipped over, pulled off all the radio communication devices on him and Chu He, and threw them far away.
This messed up the laser’s positioning. There was a loud “boom”, and a missile was launched towards the direction of the radio. Gu Jinglian grabbed Chu He’s hand, and Chu He directly hugged Linxi in her arms. They ran into the forest and were temporarily covered.
Chu He took out the straw from her collar and drank two mouthfuls of water. There wasn’t much water left in her jacket, and she didn’t even have the time to add any cleansing powder. The stench of the water made her retch.
However, there was no time to think about it.
“Ten miles from the signal tower.” Gu Jinglian paused for a moment. “The signal base station is built by Wirth and is very safe. The communication equipment inside is rather complete. After we enter, we will transmit the signal and block the surroundings. We will be able to find temporary cover there.”
Chu He expressionlessly shook out the things in her pack and handed the energy bar and night vision device to Gu Jinglian. She then threw the AK and RPG-7B quiver that she was carrying on her back in front of him and started to fire the scorching hot Gatling gun.
Gu Jinglian broke off an energy bar and stuffed it into his mouth. He swallowed a mouthful of water and quickly put the AK and rocket launcher on his shoulder. The atmosphere instantly became heavy. He looked at Chu He in front of him and his hand froze. His brows gradually became serious.
“We may be doomed.” Gu Jinglian continued, “You also know that this place is surrounded by the rebel army. At the critical moment, I’ll cover you. You leave first.”
Chu He lifted her face and twitched her lips. Getting onto her feet quickly, she said to the man, “Listen, Gu Jinglian, we’re in it together and we will leave together.”
Gu Jinglian did not say anything. He knew that Chu He also understood that the current situation was not optimistic. He hoped to protect her, even at the cost of his own life.
However, Chu He never thought that such an arrogant man would sacrifice himself to protect her.
