4464 The Other Side 433
Gong Jie got up nimbly, grabbed Hua Jin’s collar, and jumped off the stage.
Hua Jin was not as agile as him. He staggered all the way until Gong Jie shoved him into the car.
Gong Jie then got into the car himself. The machine gunner, who was standing by the skylight, swiftly loaded his gun. Amidst the hail of bullets, he was shot in the shoulder.
“Young Master Jie, I’ve been shot. We have to leave this place as soon as possible!”
!!Gong Jie stepped on the accelerator, causing the car to swerve violently. The believers who had surrounded him were so frightened that they retreated.
There were a total of 100 bullets in the light machine gun. At this moment, they could not control whether the bullets killed the armed troops or civilians. For now, anyone who pounced on the car was taken to be a militant by the machine gunner and shot to death. It was precisely in moments like these that he couldn’t allow so-called kindness. In the blink of an eye, they could be the ones ending up dead!
Gong Jie drove straight ahead. He tried his best to find a clear path. However, outside the car, someone shouted loudly. The crazy believers persevered and continued to pounce on the car. It was obvious that they were using their own bodies to block their path.
The actor huddled in the corner of the car. There were many armed men outside the car, and he couldn’t be of much help to Gong Jie. He could only try his best to protect himself and avoid causing unnecessary harm.
Every now and then, he would vaguely feel the car running over something. Dead bodies, perhaps? Or was it a living person who got swept under the wheels?
He was so shocked that he covered his face, not daring to make any guesses!
Da da da da da…
The machine gunner was still holding fort.
The actor suddenly felt something warm splash on his face. He looked up and saw that one of the gunner’s arms had been wounded by a bullet. Blood gushed out continuously.
“You’re hurt!”
However, the machine gunner could not hear him. He had accompanied Gong Jie here to rescue Hua Jin, and knew that he was putting his own life at stake.
On the way here, a brother had died in battle. He himself had no intention of leaving alive. He only wanted to do his best to use himself and his astonis.h.i.+ng willpower to escort the two of them out of this place safely.
This was his mission!
The car left the plaza successfully, leaving the believers far behind.
Still, Gong Jie dared not let his guard down.
“Leo, how are you?” He stared straight ahead, holding the wheel as he questioned the machine gunner.
However, there was no response for a long time. The actor carefully patted the machine gunner’s waist, but there was no response.
An ominous feeling rose in his heart.
“How are you doing? Are you okay?”
He carefully moved Leo back to his seat. Only then did he realize that the man’s throat was badly mutilated from the bullet wound. Blood gushed out, but he still maintained the posture of holding the machine gun. His eyes were wide open, and his body was trembling. With his throat injured, he could no longer speak.
Even if it had not been such a harsh environment, the actor knew that this machine gunner named Leo was doomed.
“What should we do… Gong Jie, he’s seriously injured!”
Gong Jie gripped the steering wheel tightly. His bloodshot eyes looked at Leo through the rearview mirror. His heart sank when he saw the man staring at him with his eyes wide open as if he wanted to say something but could not.
