Chapter 483 The Retirement Life of a Down-on-His-Luck Tycoon 20
On the island,
The flames spread quickly with the flashes of light, but just as quickly, because the purpose of the awning was not to house people, but to stand there as a target, every fire naturally went out quickly.
The "wall" surrounded by piles of stones will hardly affect the jungle unless there is strong wind.
Therefore, since leaving the south, Xia Youmi and Wale haven't had a proper night's sleep in the shed. They only occasionally use it to avoid the rain and to divert their attention.
They would observe the weather and sleep in the windy spot in the jungle. With the help of equipment from the boat, they could sometimes stay in tents, and sometimes they would simply set up a dense sleeping bag net under a tree.
I've long been used to dismantling things as I go.
Although the surprise attack tonight was unexpected, given the enemy's caution and the impression they left last time, they dared not land on the island without prior reconnaissance.
Then, the arrangement we were used to earlier came in handy.
Every year, as the boat came into view, it would remind Youmi, but she would only adjust her sleeping position and continue to keep her eyes closed.
After the awning was lit and the distant ship sailed away, Xia Youmi adjusted her state along with Waler's movements.
Climb the platform in the dark
They could see artillery fire from several points along the western coast, brief but noticeable. Neither of them spoke much; they simply took their necessities and pushed the cart southeast.
this time,
They didn't just walk along the coastline, but kept going in and out of the jungle edges.
Each time they went in, their supplies dwindled, and they would leave them in the woods. By the third day of Pullman's attack, they had reached due east, and by then they had basically only the supplies they were carrying.
There were also bomb craters in the area, even though they had only just arrived.
From this moment on, the pace of life has been accelerated.
Pullman's requested support arrived, allowing him to lead two fleets simultaneously, finally enabling communication between them over a distance not exceeding the circumference of a peninsula. This allowed him to land an elite force on the island.
Thanks to him, temporary docks were installed at all eight locations on the island. This greatly facilitated the two-person team on the deserted island; when they occasionally ran out of supplies, they knew where to find them.
at first,
Pullman could only ever chase after exhaust fumes, sniffing the lingering aroma of barbecue in the air, constantly building up his anger.
Even though they could clearly see signs of survival and could tell that they hadn't been gone long, they always managed to choose the wrong direction.
and,
Although both Valer and Xia Youmi were interested in the game, neither of them held back. This forced Pullman, who had finally gained the freedom to land on the island, to patiently adjust his strategy. He gathered scattered evidence and argued with his superiors. Ultimately, he received a generous reward, and with the financial backing, his subordinates at least trusted Pullman more.
Furthermore, after following him around for a few weeks, you inevitably develop a temper.
Morale soared, and an even more intense search began.
"boom--"
"withdraw!"
This was the third time they had clashed head-on with Waler and Xia Youmi, but all three times they had to retreat.
Whenever weapons are drawn, the combined fire from the island duo always targets the recruits around Pullman.
This was practically another grab by the neck.
Pullman is not afraid of death, and he is least afraid of being targeted by multiple enemies.
Can,
The residents of Orvis Island, especially the younger generation, are all descendants of those who previously lived on the island. While they are willing to seek a convenient way to return to the city as soon as possible through Pullman, they do not want their children to perish in the war.
Since the first time I brought my seriously injured subordinate back.
He then felt the pressure from within.
The strategy was adjusted quickly. Pullman himself always charged ahead, assisted by fearless veterans, all of whom were selected to sacrifice themselves for their families. However, the two in the jungle, despite the trouble, insisted on targeting those far away.
Most of them were just errand runners delivering information; they were in absolutely safe locations.
They were hit by Valerian fire and had to retreat.
The island's medical resources are limited, and most people are unwilling to come out and take risks with him. Those who can accompany him are just half-baked, hotheads who are interested in fierce battles. Simple bandaging and hemostasis, bullet removal, and the choice of medicine all require returning to Orvis.
Just passing the time, just passing the time.
Returning to the southern part of the island, Xia Youmi and her companion had already explored the entire island and had reached a new level in their ability to find shortcuts to avoid being surrounded.
Their posture was more relaxed than before.
As he wiped his weapons clean again at night, Valer suddenly felt bored. If he lacked courage, playing house with them would be a bit of a nuisance.
Although Xia Youmi seemed to be enjoying herself, they never lost out.
but,
Valle began to recall the taste of the grilled squid and wine that night.
It seems that slowing down and taking a serious approach to food is a good thing.
After that, when faced with Pullman's hesitation, Valer's bullets became even more mocking. One bullet after another was aimed at their faces, so that even if they weren't seriously injured, the disfigurement would make it difficult for them to rise in the ranks of Clanta.
Furthermore, they repeatedly set traps to steal their weapons.
Now, the hopes of those young people who had been looking forward to going to sea were dashed, but their fighting spirit was rekindled. They were determined to take Valer's life and torture him severely!
Pullman seized the opportunity to mobilize more men and once again assigned more people to encircle and besiege Waller.
Faced with a fierce invasion.
Xia Youmi, who had been in a support position and rarely appeared on the enemy's side, was forced to charge in. She wasn't aiming to kill anyone; her main purpose was to cover Valer's escape.
As Pullman's team was forced to retreat less frequently, Xia Youmi and her companion were eventually driven deeper and deeper into the jungle.
today,
It seemed like a long-awaited thunderstorm.
After Pullman led his team to follow them deep into the jungle.
The unsettling temperature and air pressure made it impossible for anyone to stray from the group and return to the ship alone. Although the ship was now anchored to the shore with a simple breakwater, the fear from the previous incident still lingered.
As they ventured deeper and deeper, and as returning became increasingly difficult, everyone was on edge, determined to end it all that day.
Xia Youmi and Niannian calmly scanned everything on the island.
Her desire to explore was always put on hold, and she had long since given up any expectations. It was nothing more than Vallejo's backup plan or their final destination.
Unexpectedly,
Just before we approached the center of the island, the first thing that came into view was a group of familiar hyenas.
They left those who couldn't climb trees on the island forever.
Then they left, carrying away the chaos and bloodshed washed away by the rain.
During thunderstorms,
Each roar further emboldened humanity.
Xia Youmi looked at the branches that were no longer suitable for her to stay on, got up and jumped down with Valer, and met Pullman and the others who were also planning to launch a sneak attack during the rage.
"hiss--"
As the first shot failed to fire, a barrage of curses and fury erupted in the darkness.
"Walk."
Valer dropped the gun, which no longer held any deterrent power, and started running, pulling Xia Youmi's bleeding hand along with him.
Wind, rain, thunderstorms, and lightning provide the best cover and also make them the most conspicuous landmarks.
People kept getting lost and broke down in tears in the rain.
Some people ignored all the bushes and branches scraping against them, focusing solely on the two figures leaping about.
"Hmm...Hmm!"
Xia Youmi had never run so fast in this world before, and her panting became increasingly noticeable.
But Waler didn't stop; in fact, Xia Youmi's tightly clenched hand was also saying, "Don't stop."
Her improved physical fitness this time is reflected in her endurance; she's not so easy to be left behind.
"There is rice."
"Ah."
There was no need for annual reminders; she had already seen it.
In the center of the island, hidden beneath massive trees, lies a completely open space.
Valle stopped there, and in the end, only Pullman remained in pursuit.
"It seems your life is ultimately mine."
"Ah?"
Valer did lose his gun, and judging from Pullman's confident expression, he still had at least one bullet left in his magazine.
"But don't worry, I'll take good care of your little sister, Brie, after you leave."
Pullman chuckled as Waller turned his gaze to the side.
He never let his guard down, and he was not mistaken about their firepower; the woman's gun ran out of ammunition earlier than Val's.
He couldn't count on the other party.
"No need, I've had enough fun."
"What are you so arrogant about!" Pullman was extremely disgusted by Waller's attitude. They had clearly agreed not to let him provoke them to the point of losing their temper, but that's just how their nemesis is. He always made them feel very uncomfortable with the slightest action.
"Do you still want to pretend?"
"what!"
Caught off guard, when Valer pointed out that Pullman was also empty-handed, he quickly smashed the gun and rushed towards the two men.
Without offering any protection or deference, Xia Youmi and Waler attacked simultaneously, targeting his legs.
"call out!"
As Pullman used his lighter to conceal the blade and leave a deep wound on Waller, he was also kicked away and knocked unconscious.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!"
Two shouts rang out, unconsciously overlapping each other, and even seemed to have similar accents.
"Brother." Xia Youmi understood a lot, and then fainted as a hand slash came from behind.
