The sound of bullets flying by kept ringing in his ears. Owen dragged Rachel and bent over and ran all the way, using the cover of trees to move quickly in the forest.
"ah……"
Suddenly, Rachel behind him let out a cry of pain. Owen turned around and found that Rachel had been shot in the leg.
Oops!
Owen ran two steps back to Rachel. Rachel was sweating profusely in pain. Owen saw the blood on her leg and tore open his trouser leg to expose the wound.
The wound was a mess of blood and flesh. Owen checked and found that fortunately, the bullet was not left in the flesh. Owen took off his body armor and put it on Rachel.
"Get on my back..."
Owen turned around and made a ready gesture.
Rachel hesitated. She knew that she was now a drag. Owen would definitely be able to run away if he left her behind, but it was not necessarily possible if he took her with him.
Although she knew this, her desire to survive finally took over. Rachel climbed on Owen's back, and Owen carried her as he ran through the woods.
From time to time, there were bullets hitting the tree trunks, making "pop" sounds. Although Owen was carrying a person on his back, he was not moving at all slow.
Glancing furtively, he could vaguely see a corner of camouflage from behind, and those guys were getting closer and closer.
There was a "pop" sound, and Owen felt as if someone pushed him. He knew that Rachel on the back had been shot again.
Sure enough, Rachel groaned in pain, but she could still scream, which meant that the bullet did not kill him on the spot.
"How are you?"
"It hurts, but at least I'm still alive..."
Owen smiled. Rachel didn't look like a delicate girl at all. Instead, she was a bit like them, strong and independent. Although he carried Rachel on his back out of good intentions, Rachel had indeed become his.
As a human shield, it is almost impossible for a bullet to hit Owen. Even if it does, Rachel will bear it first.
"Let me go, so you can't run away..."
Seeing the pursuers getting closer and closer, Rachel still said although she wanted to live.
Owen laughed, "No way, I will definitely bring you back successfully. Your tutor is very dissatisfied with you making excuses not to write your thesis..."
Owen expressed his attitude with a joke. Rachel used her actions the night before to show that she would not give up on Owen, so now, no matter how bad the situation is, he will not give up on Rachel.
Rachel was silent behind her, and she could also hear what Owen meant, but after a while, she still said: "Mr. Owen, I am very grateful for everything you have done for me. Thank you for traveling thousands of miles to come here.
The indigenous warlords saved me, and saved me more than once. I am very grateful for all these, but this time is different. There are too many of them. No matter how powerful you are, there is only one person. You can't run away with me...
…”
Rachel tried to persuade Owen, but was interrupted by Owen before she could finish her words: "Shut up, if you don't have the time, you might as well think about how to write the paper..."
Owen was not ready to give up, so Rachel had no choice but to let Owen carry her.
She looked back and saw that the pursuers behind her were getting closer. If Irving hadn't occasionally fired two shots to intimidate him, they would have caught up long ago.
"Hold on, as long as we get past that we will be safe. I will treat your wounds then..."
Owen's voice came from the front. Rachel looked forward. There was a suspension bridge not far ahead. Below the suspension bridge was the raging river. Rachel understood what Owen meant. They only needed to run over and destroy the suspension bridge.
Easily get rid of these pursuers.
A glimmer of hope arose in Rachel's heart. Although she had been asking Owen to give up on her before, it was just a helpless move based on trade-offs. If there was a chance, who wouldn't want to live?
Owen quickly ran towards the suspension bridge, and the gunshots from behind became more intensive. Occasionally, he could hear words such as "Don't let them run onto the suspension bridge." The other party had obviously discovered their intention. Both sides were working hard, and one side was desperately trying.
He wanted to escape, but one party tried his best to stop him.
Come on, come on, Owen is still more than ten meters away from the suspension bridge. As long as they run across the suspension bridge, they will be safe.
It's just that God doesn't seem to want them to have such smooth sailing.
Just before they were about to step onto the suspension bridge, Owen felt a force coming from behind him, pushing him forward and almost missing his footing.
Owen understood that they had been shot again. He relied on his extraordinary reflexes to finally maintain his balance and successfully stepped onto the suspension bridge. The main body of the suspension bridge was made of four thick ropes, with wooden boards under his feet, and the gaps between the wooden boards.
It's so big that you can directly see the river flowing below.
"Hahaha……"
Owen was happy that he had successfully averted the danger. He was about to say a few words, but found that Rachel behind him had lost her voice.
"Rachel? Rachel..."
Owen called the other person's name, but there was no movement from Rachel on his back.
Owen couldn't stop, but his right hand holding Rachel was a little greasy. When he took it out, he saw blood.
Owen's heart sank. Obviously, the shot just now should have penetrated the body armor, and Rachel's life or death was unknown now.
But he couldn't stop, he could only wait until they were out of danger.
The only thing he could do was to cross the suspension bridge as quickly as possible.
Owen took a big step, and the dangerous-looking suspension bridge was flying at his feet. But suddenly, Owen stopped, because at this moment, in front of his suspension bridge, a male lion slowly came out of the woods at the end of the suspension bridge.
The lion opened its mouth and let out a roar. Owen's heart sank. It was the lion that ran away from the Bad Boys Alliance. He didn't expect that the other lion was waiting for him here.
The lion stared at Owen with cold and ruthless eyes through the triangular eyes. Owen could clearly feel the hatred. This was too coincidental. He didn't think that the lion was waiting here specifically.
No matter how powerful the lions are, they are still beasts, and they do not have the ability to predict the future.
All I can say is, very bad luck.
But no matter what, the appearance of the opponent brought him a huge crisis. At this time, there were pursuers behind him and lions in front of him. Owen was blocked in the middle of the suspension bridge and almost fell into despair.
What the hell!
Owen looked at the lion in front of him, and then looked back at the pursuers behind him.
Valentin and his men have arrived at the entrance of the suspension bridge. The group of people stared at the two Owens in the middle of the suspension bridge with cold eyes. If Big Daddy had not strictly ordered that the diamond be taken back before leaving, Valentin would have ordered
The men opened fire.
But at this moment, seeing Irving in despair, Valentin felt extremely happy. He glanced at the river flowing below and a crocodile in it that looked like a dead tree, with a trace of amusement in his eyes.
Just when the pursuers had time to calm down, the lion at the other end launched an attack.
I don't know if it thought it had a chance of victory at this time, and no longer worried about Owen's gun, it actually rushed over.
A weight of 200 kilograms stepped on the suspension bridge, causing the suspension bridge to shake and the formwork on the ground to make an overwhelming rattle.
Owen looked in front and then behind. At this time, he had no way to go. The lion attacked again. This beast knew how to seize the opportunity.
The pistol in his hand had no deterrent effect on the lion at all. Even if he shot all the bullets into it, it would not change the outcome of his death. Owen looked at the river below and the crocodiles inside, and felt cruel.
The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the rope and the trigger was pulled.
