Free Web NovelChapter 617: Chapter 617: Are You Playing Hide-and-Seek Here?
Chloe Reed dropped flat, not even daring to move!
The nearest bullet had landed right beside her head!
Fortunately, they had found good cover that completely concealed their bodies.
Meanwhile, Daniel Hayes was still changing positions.
While he changed positions, he fired in that direction.
Every shot he fired was a guaranteed hit.
Chloe didn’t dare to move recklessly. She quietly raised her head to peek in that direction.
A cloud of dust and smoke drifted through the air as frantic footsteps closed in. There were a lot of them.
Chloe’s heart sank.
Just then, someone looked her way. Chloe’s heart dropped, and she immediately fired a shot at the person.
Her recent shooting practice hadn’t been for nothing. Her aim was decent, but she couldn’t manage to hit a vital spot.
But by firing, she had given away her position!
Thankfully, Daniel Hayes was there to provide cover, drawing their attention. The attackers didn’t dare to advance on her position recklessly.
After all, they had no idea how many people were with Chloe.
Soon, Daniel Hayes ran out of ammo, and Chloe had managed to wound two of them.
But there were even more people coming from behind them!
Chloe scrambled to a new position and checked the bullets in her handgun, her gaze hardening with resolve.
But in the next instant, she suddenly felt an icy gaze land on her!
A shiver ran down her spine. She quickly looked around and saw him—a man in camouflage, standing on a branch in front of her.
The man wore a helmet and his face was smeared with camo paint. He was holding a gun aimed right at her, his gaze cold and detached.
’It’s over...’
Chloe’s heart lurched.
’I’ve been spotted.’
’If I shoot now, can I even hit him?’
’I’m sure of it. If I make a move, he’ll be faster. He’ll blow my head off.’
She lay frozen on the ground, not daring to move.
The man in the tree didn’t move either. He just watched her with that same detached look. The distance was considerable, and with the paint on his face, she couldn’t make out his expression at all.
Just then, he moved. He reached up, tapped the earpiece in his ear, and said something before turning his gaze away. freёweɓnovel.com
He was no longer staring at her. Instead, he climbed down from the tree and walked in another direction.
Seeing this, Chloe was dumbfounded.
’What’s going on?’
’Didn’t he see me?’
’Why didn’t he do anything?’ fгeewebnovёl.com
Chloe’s mind went blank for a second, but she snapped out of it quickly. She immediately got up, changed direction again to hide herself, and fired at the enemy, wounding another.
’I have no idea what that guy was thinking, but since he didn’t intend to kill me, I can’t let this opportunity pass.’
At the same time, it seemed reinforcements had arrived behind the enemy. Caught in a pincer attack, they began to panic and shout.
"Who’s that behind us?"
"Quick, call for backup!"
...
But the panicked shouts didn’t last long. The newcomers who had pursued them from behind took them all down.
Gunsmoke filled the jungle. Chloe watched the scene, her expression dazed.
’Someone came to back me up?’
Walker Grant’s face immediately flashed through her mind. And then, through the swirling gunsmoke, she saw a familiar figure.
His face was pale, but his steps were steady. Gun in hand, he walked straight toward her.
"Playing hide-and-seek here?"
But just as the mocking voice sounded, she was yanked to her feet, a gun pressed directly against her head.
