“Can you hear me?
Did you actually cover your ears and open your mouth just now?
If not, I’m afraid you won’t be able to hear anything soon.” Akari looked at Mari, having a bad premonition.
Fortunately, after a brief dizziness, Mari raised her head and showed Akari a reassuring smile.
“Don’t worry, I can hear you.
It seems we can only keep moving forward.
If we stay there any longer, we’ll be riddled with bullets sooner or later.” Mari was coughing as she spoke.
Akari didn’t notice at first, but the next moment she suddenly discovered that Miri was actually coughing up blood.
“Miss Mari !” In her anxiety, Akari couldn’t care about much else and directly ripped open Mari coat, revealing the shirt underneath.
Although Mari skin was fair and tender, Akari didn’t look much and immediately searched for the wound.
She guessed that the explosion just now must have caused vehicle debris to fly out and hit Mari chest or abdomen, which was why she kept coughing up blood.
If they couldn’t find the wound and stop the bleeding in time, it would cost a life.
“I’m fine…
Their target is me, you should go quickly…
If you don’t leave now, it will be too late…” If it weren’t for her own insistence on street racing in the Outer Ring, she wouldn’t have faced the danger of being kidnapped, nor would she have implicated Akari and dragged her into crisis as well.
She squinted, forcing a smile on her face, and reached out to touch Akari’s grandma-gray hair.
Come to think of it, this hair color was actually quite pretty.
Following that, although Miri was already injured, she still resolutely demanded that Akari leave.
Her own danger shouldn’t be paid for by someone else.
“It’s all my fault…
I shouldn’t have come out street racing in the middle of the night.
If I hadn’t been kidnapped, you wouldn’t have encountered this kind of danger…” “Go quickly, while they haven’t caught up yet, hurry and go…” The more Mari spoke, the more blood she coughed up, so she simply stopped talking and looked up at the sky with her eyes slightly squinted.
Tonight’s night view was very beautiful, and there were many stars.
Dying like this didn’t seem so bad either…
“Cut the crap!
You are my employer; since when does an agent watch their employer die?” “Your wound is on your abdomen, right?
I’ll use my clothes to help you stop the bleeding.
Just lie down inside and try not to move.
If the wound enlarges or splits open, stopping the bleeding will be even more troublesome.” As Akari spoke, she clenched her teeth on her sleeve and forcefully tore off half of the cuff with her hands.
After tearing off half the cuff, Akari didn’t expose anything since she still had a short-sleeve shirt underneath, but it was genuinely quite cold at night in this weather.
She shivered, but still treated the other person.
After wrapping the wound with the cuff, Akari pressed firmly on the bleeding spot to try and avoid death caused by massive hemorrhage.
After doing all this, Akari secured the wound on Mari’s abdomen, gripped her handgun, gritted her teeth, and confronted the people outside.
“The two little lasses inside, surrender your weapons immediately!” “Otherwise, don’t blame us for setting a fire to burn this place down!” One of the burly subordinates spoke viciously.
“If you have the guts, light the fire!
If you don’t, you’re my grandson!” “Bah!
You coward!” Akari snorted coldly, her tone merciless, directly pointing at their noses to curse them.
Akari was certain of one thing: the other party’s goal was Miri, so naturally they wouldn’t dare let her get fatally injured.
Therefore, they were playing a psychological game with her, wanting her to surrender with Mari.
If they knew Mari was bleeding from her abdomen, they would probably be even more anxious than her to bandage Mari’s wound.
“Set the fire!” Unexpectedly, the other side actually dared to set a fire.
Seeing someone about to splash oil and throw a torch inside to burn them both to death, Akari raised her hand and shot, accurately blowing the head off the thug holding the oil drum.
That bullet pierced his skull, spraying a burst of blood, yet it made the others not dare to act rashly.
After seeing this, the several thugs nearby were instantly terrified, and no one dared to raise a torch to burn the two people inside again.
“A bunch of cowards!
If you have the ability, drag this out with us!” Akari gritted her teeth, likewise putting psychological pressure on the enemy.
In her own gun, one and a half magazines had already been emptied, leaving only the last four bullets.
These four bullets were the only firepower in her hands, while the other side still had at least twenty or thirty people.
Thinking of this, Akari couldn’t help feeling a bit helpless.
Ever since she transmigrated, she seemed to be having bad luck every day, constantly getting into firefights and brawls, and running into criminals whenever she casually took on a commission.
This time she even got into a direct firefight, successively shooting and killing four people, adding four lives to her hands.
However, fortunately, the system’s rewards weren’t completely retracted, and a soldier’s combat instincts and other skills were still there.
“XN, I’m almost dying here, can you give me some rewards or something…” Akari looked up, trying to search for XN’s trace.
Before long, XN appeared beside Akari.
“Host, is there something you wanted from this system?
This system was still catching up on sleep…” XN opened her eyes sleepily, saw the scene beside her, and wore a thoughtful expression, as if guessing something.
Afterwards, her gaze carried a piercing quality, and after scanning around, she roughly knew the ins and outs of the matter.
As a system, XN was already intimately familiar with such channels for gathering information.
“Given that the host is in a life-or-death crisis, this system specially rewards the following mission items.” “Reward: Hemostatic Medicine x1.” “Reward: Defense Force Standard Handgun.” “Reward: Handgun Bullets x20 (All items will be reclaimed after the commission is completed).” “Hemostatic Medicine: No special effects, used solely for stopping bleeding.” “Defense Force Standard Handgun: Extremely powerful when fired, but generally used for self-defense or lower-intensity conflict missions.
It can easily pierce targets wearing body armor.” XN’s meaning was very clear: weapons and hemostatic medicine could be provided, but solving the problem still depended on herself.
Gripping the handgun, Akari skillfully loaded the bullets into the magazine, then installed the magazine back in, getting ready to make a desperate fight to the death.
The weapons produced by the system had improved range and firepower, and stability naturally lagged behind no one either.
Even at a firing distance of several dozen meters, paired with her marksmanship, she could still hit wherever she pointed.
“Please do your best, Host.
This system cannot intervene too much; whether you escape the crisis depends on the Host’s ability.” After saying this, XN vanished with a swoosh.
It was as if no one had ever been here.
But the standard handgun in her hand reminded Akari that tonight she could only rely on herself to break out of the encirclement.
Waiting for the Public Security Officer to arrive, who knew how long that would drag on.
Afterwards, she unwrapped the outer packaging of the hemostatic medicine and shoved the pill into Mari’s mouth.
Strange to say, this piece of hemostatic medicine was miraculous; it melted the moment it entered the mouth, going down completely without needing to be swallowed.
It seemed that XN had paid special attention to Mari current injuries and condition, knowing that Mari couldn’t swallow pills, and thus specially produced a hemostatic medicine that melted instantly in the mouth.
