novelWe're Losing Both Sister-in-law and the Child
| ← Ch.0945 | Ch.0947 → |
Over the years, Zhou Yao had seen scenes of wailing and crying. Everyone wanted peace, but sometimes war was the only way to peace. He couldn't change anything.
Zhou Yao knelt on one knee. He held a submachine gun in his right hand, then raised his left hand and gestured one, two, three, four.
His Red Flame soldiers nodded when they saw the gesture. They split into four teams and went in four directions, North, South, East, and West. They quickly marked their territories.
More than half of Ye Ziyi's men were gone already. Although the remaining islanders were loyal, they were unable to outcompete these Red Flame soldiers. Ye Ziyi led the remaining men to a hidden corner.
The battle came to a halt momentarily. Zhou Yao leaned against a pillar and shouted, "Ye Ziyi, we no longer need to continue fighting. You've lost. Surrender."
Ye Ziyi was also leaning against a pillar. His face still had a warm complexion, and there wasn't much of an aura of defeat around him. He smiled and said, "I've indeed lost. If I hadn't fallen for your trap and made that bet with you, but shot you as soon as I'd found you and quickly retreated, then I would still have a chance of winning. But I've lost my chance."
"Humph, " Zhou Yao laughed."If you shot me as soon as you'd found me and didn't make that bet with me, then it'd be uncharacteristic of Scorpian, Ye Si."
"Ha, haha. Well said, Major General Zhou. You understand me! It's not a shame to lose to you."
Zhou Yao moved his body and looked directly towards Ye Ziyi."Then what's Ye Si's decision? To let these innocent islanders die with you?"
Ye Ziyi also appeared. He faced Zhou Yao directly."I know I lost, but I'm still waiting. I want to wait for someone."
Zhou Yao narrowed his eyes. He smiled slowly."There's no need to wait. She won't go with you."
"Oh, Major General Zhou sure is confident."
"Yes, she loves me. I love her too."
The smile on Ye Ziyi's face grew wider. He repeated Zhou Yao's two sentences with interest, "She loves you, and you love her too? Haha..." Ye Ziyi looked at Zhou Yao meaningfully, "Major General Zhou, love always comes with a price. It's fine if she doesn't want to go with me, but I will definitely take her with me."
Zhou Yao's face became serious. He had a very bad feeling in his heart."What do you mean?"
Ye Ziyi smiled and did not answer."Major General Zhou, this is the end, I don't want to fight with you. How about this, let's play one last game."
"What game?"
"Han Xuan." One of his men pushed Han Xuan to Ye Ziyi.
Zhou Yao looked at Han Xuan, who was held captive in Ye Ziyi's arms. His strong facial features became solemn. 𝗳re𝙚w𝐞𝚋noѵ𝗲𝚕 - 🅽🅽novel
Han Xuan was trembling. Zhou Yao's men were supposed to send her back, but she was caught by Scorpion's men. Her clothes were messy and her face was pale. When she realized that Ye Ziyi had a gun to her head, she screamed in despair, "Ah! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
She looked at Zhou Yao with eyes full of hope."Zhou Yao, save me, save me! You owe my brother, you owe me. You won't let us both die because of you, right? You will save me, right?"
Zhou Yao looked at Han Xuan and didn't say anything.
Ye Ziyi smiled."Major General Zhou, we both have a gun in our hands. How about this? I'll shout one, two, three. Major General Zhou will decide whether or not to throw away the gun in his hand."
Han Xuan stared at Zhou Yao, staring at him closely."Zhou Yao, I don't want to be with you anymore, but you have to keep me alive. Quickly, throw away the gun!"
"I'm starting. One, two, three..."
Bang! A bullet pierced through Ye Ziyi's heart.
Han Xuan was completely stunned, stood still like a rock. She stared blankly at Zhou Yao, who stood before her. He did not put down the gun. When Ye Ziyi counted to three, Zhou Yao shot him without hesitation.
This shot was very accurate, piercing through Ye Ziyi's entire heart.
Zhou Yao stood upright. He looked at Ye Ziyi's slowly falling figure and said, "Scorpian, you've lost the game, again."
Ye Ziyi fell to the ground. His eyes began to lose focus."Humph..." he looked at Zhou Yao with a strange smile, then closed his eyes.
Ye Ziyi was dead.
Looking at Ye Ziyi's strange smile, Zhou Yao's uneasiness suddenly increased. He felt that he was going to lose something important.
"You dare to kill our Master? I will kill this woman right now!" One of Ye Ziyi's subordinates roared. He raised his gun and shot Han Xuan.
"Ah!" Han Xuan had already collapsed to the ground. She hugged her head and screamed.
The bullet was indeed shot in her direction, but the aim was off. Zhou Yao raised his gun and shot the subordinate's head, so the bullet from the subordinate's gun shot through Han Xuan's leg.
Her leg was numb, so it did not hurt when the bullet pierced through her. However, the feeling of being abandoned by Zhou Yao and walking around death's gate was enough to break Han Xuan down. She screamed like crazy.
Zhou Yao put away the gun. He did not even look at Han Xuan before he turned around and left.
"Clean up the mess!"
"Yes, Major General!"
Smoke filled the air behind him. Zhou Yao threw the gun in his hand and wiped away the blood on his hand with a square handkerchief. The heavy military boots on his feet made a creaking sound every time he stepped on the floor. He quickened his pace.
He wanted to see Leng Zhiyuan.
Immediately, right away!
For some reason, he felt that his heart was slowly emptying. There was a voice that kept echoing in his ears, 'Zhou Yao, go back, go back to her side. '
Zhou Yao felt that his heart was racing and he was very flustered. At this moment, Xiao Zhi ran towards him. Xiao Zhi was surprised to see him, "Major General!"
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to guard?" Zhou Yao frowned.
Xiao Zhi could no longer control the tears in his eyes."Major General, go quickly to sister-in-law. Sister-in-law... gave birth prematurely. Sister-in-law... is bleeding. We're losing both sister-in-law and the child."
Zhou Yao's pair of shining black eyes instantly dimmed. His tall body shook, then he ran to the room with his long legs.
...
Bang! Zhou Yao pushed open the door. The room was filled with the pungent smell of blood. His feet seemed to have been glued to the entrance. He looked at the mattress, half stained with blood, and the pool of blood on the floor.
He had been on the battlefield and bathe in blood all his life. He had never been afraid of blood, but now he was. It seemed that he had never seen a person bleed so much.
Leng Zhiyuan heard the door open. She slowly turned her head to look. When she saw the tall and upright figure standing by the door, she stretched out her small hand to him with difficulty.
She was calling him!
She needed him!
Zhou Yao came back to his senses. He suppressed his heart palpitations and quickly walked towards her. He came to the bedside and held her small hand. Her hand was cold, deprived of all warmth.
