“Elite soldiers?” Song Fan was amused by the term.

Among this group, aside from Sun Yu, who else wasn’t a burden? Where did they get the idea of having elite soldiers?

However, it was clear many shared the fat man’s sentiment, and they all stood still, unwilling to move. Only a few remained by Song Fan’s side.

As Sun Yu had said, people shouldn’t have hope. When there was no hope, everyone fought desperately. But once there was hope, who wanted to risk their lives?

Before Song Fan could respond to the suggestion, a gunshot rang out, and she heard someone shout, “Boss!”

Song Fan felt a push and instinctively dropped to the ground. She saw someone fall in front of her—it was Cao Lei.

The others began to scream and scatter in panic.

Cao Lei had been shot in the head. The bullet hole was small and hadn’t started bleeding yet. But the back of his head had a fist-sized exit wound.

Song Fan could tell it was a submachine gun, judging by the wound.

Her mind filled with cold data: the number of enemies, their positions, the type of guns they were using, and their movement speed.

She couldn’t afford to think about anything else. Cao Lei’s eyes were open, looking at her as if he had something to say. His expression was not pained, but rather peaceful, even with a hint of a smile.

Song Fan reassured herself that being shot in the head was the least painful way to die. The brain tissue died quickly, and there was no pain or warning.

But there was no time for more thoughts. She quickly crawled to the nearest tree.

The enemy’s firepower was intense, coming from all directions. Her comrades were getting hit, their screams filling the air, while others were too scared to hold their guns steady.

Song Fan quickly analyzed the situation. The enemy consisted of three squads—one in front, and one on each side, with three men in each, a typical mercenary formation.

“Retreat, retreat!” Song Fan shouted. “Run back!”

Sun Yu responded immediately, “If you don’t want to die, charge! Don’t be cowards!”

Despite their fear, she picked up a submachine gun and started shooting.

The two women led the charge, and finally, someone cursed and followed them.

Everyone was firing wildly at the enemy, with no aim, just to relieve their fear and frustration.

Only a few followed, while the rest were paralyzed with fear, unable to move, let alone shoot.

Before they could retreat to their previous position, gunfire erupted from their escape route as well.

“Get down! Find cover behind trees,” Song Fan shouted.

Her comrades were ordinary people, unaccustomed to this environment and unable to quickly grasp her commands.

Within seconds, more comrades were hit and fell, with casualties rising rapidly.

Song Fan knew they had to fight their way out or they’d all die.

She found a large rock for cover and took out the nearest enemy with a headshot. The man’s brain matter splattered, but Song Fan kept firing, taking down a second and third enemy.

The mercenaries were professional. The remaining squads quickly pinpointed her location and unleashed a barrage at her position.

She had to move, but the hail of bullets left her no chance.

A gunshot from a comrade drew some of the fire away. Song Fan knew it had to be Sun Yu still fighting.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Song Fan aimed and fired three more precise shots, taking down three more mercenaries.

Sun Yu found her mark and took out two more.

With their combined efforts, the mercenaries were finally neutralized, though not all were dead, they were incapacitated.

As the gunfire ceased, the fat man was the first to emerge from the bushes. Remarkably, he hadn’t been hit.

One by one, others crawled out, but none could stand.

Song Fan looked at Sun Yu, concerned. Sun Yu’s arm was grazed by a bullet. She shook her head, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I won’t die.”

Song Fan tossed her some hemostatic medicine and said, “Count the survivors. Take only guns and ammo. We can’t stay here.”

Sun Yu caught the medicine and nodded, “Got it.”
