The sudden sound of gunfire in the wooden hut broke the silence of the night.
After a while, a sound finally came from the quiet forest in the distance. A few masked men with submachine guns walked out of the forest. They were wearing white camouflage clothes, but there was no military insignia on them. They approached the cabin without saying a word.
However, what greeted them was a huge black barrel.
Zhang Heng did not expect the female doctor to hide a Maxim HMG that she dismantled from a carriage under the bed. This woman was crazier than he thought, but her craziness came in handy at this time.
Zhang Heng was very patient. He waited until the unknown people in the woods were approaching the door of the cabin before he pulled the trigger. Bullets gushed out from the barrel, forming a line of fire.
The five people outside were obviously guarding against the possibility of Zhang Heng's tricks. However, even if they were ten times more imaginative, they probably would not have guessed that there was such a big gun hidden in the cabin.
The overwhelming firepower instantly shattered all possibility of resistance. The five people outside the cabin did not even have a chance to fight back before their bodies were shredded by the swarm of metal bullets.
Unfortunately, as powerful as the HMG was, its ammo consumption was also astonishing. One round of attacks emptied the stock under the female doctor's bed, and he could not carry it with him. After resolving the first wave of danger, Zhang Heng had no choice but to put it aside. He then pulled out the pistol from his waist and shot the kerosene lamp hanging under the eaves.
As soon as he did that, the enemy's second wave of attacks arrived.
Bullets flew out from the forest and rained down on the wooden cabin, tearing the thin wooden wall apart with ease. Fortunately, Simon had laid down the bed in advance to use it as cover.
Although the girl still did not know why the enemy suddenly appeared in the camp, she knew that the two of them were in danger. She held her M28 in her hand, biting on the leather cartridge as she quickly reloaded.
The storm-like attack lasted for about three minutes. The cabin was a mess, with bullet holes everywhere. The dishes on the table had all been smashed to pieces. Fortunately, there were two beds blocking the bullets. Otherwise, the two of them would have ended up no different from the broken glass on the ground.
It could be seen that these guys were determined to kill Simon this time. They were well prepared. After waiting for a while, the gunshots gradually became sparse. Three more people walked out of the forest and tried to move toward the small wooden house. In the end, they were answered by three gunshots.
All three of them were killed by Simon. Zhang Heng also fired two shots. Unfortunately, he was not used to using a pistol. After that, they were greeted with even fiercer counterattacks.
Concentrated gunshots came from all directions. The bullets were like a tidal wave, almost drowning the cabin completely.
Judging from the intensity of the firepower, Zhang Heng could roughly estimate that there were at least twenty to thirty enemies. If they continued to fight like this, the two beds would end up like the wooden walls sooner or later. Unfortunately, the two of them had no way to solve the current predicament. It was difficult for Zhang Heng to even reveal his head, let alone fight back and escape with Simon.
Strictly speaking, Zhang Heng had fallen into Maji's trap.
The reason why the woman was willing to tell him everything about Simon wasn't just because she was kind enough to explain it to him. She was also using this method to cut off his escape route. Maji believed that with Zhang Heng's intelligence, he would definitely understand what it meant for him to know all these secrets. Even if he really wanted to kill Simon, he would not be able to walk out of the camp as he wished.
That was why Zhang Heng said, "I never had a choice in this matter."
Even so, Zhang Heng still thanked Maji for her help. He knew that this was the only time he could not stay out of this. After learning about everything that had happened, it would be hard for him to abandon Simon and run away on his own.
What's more, he still had a trump card up his sleeve. The wooden sculpture was still lying quietly in Zhang Heng's pocket.
At the very least, he could leave the cabin by turning into a shadow. However, there was no moon tonight, and his range of movement was limited to the area illuminated by the kerosene lamp. This was a big problem for him. It would not be easy for him to run into the forest and sneak up behind those people.
However, if the situation continued to worsen, he would have no other choice.
Just as Zhang Heng reached his hand into his pocket and was about to grab the wooden sculpture, the gunshots suddenly became more intense. This time, however, the gunshots didn't all come from the forest. Some of them came from the camp.
Zhang Heng saw Weiler, who only had one arm left, rush out of the cabin under the cover of a light machine gun. He raised the submachine gun in his hand and fired wildly into the forest. Other than that, the crippled Ojeda kicked over a table and placed his rifle on it. He then started shooting at the people hiding in the forest. The rest of the guerrillas began to take action as well.
Zhang Heng did not waste this opportunity. He kicked the crumbling back wall that was riddled with holes and ran out of the cabin with Simon.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard a whistle coming from beside him. Then, a guerrilla threw a submachine gun at him. The guerrilla gestured at him and joined the battle.
Since the start of the battle, the number of people in the camp had decreased from more than forty at its peak to a dozen now. More than half of them had died in the battle, but it also made the remaining people unusually united.
Although they were ordered not to leave their rooms tonight, when they saw that Simon's cabin was under attack, they still chose to stand up for her. Such a turn of events was obviously unexpected by both sides.
Although the guerrillas were full of morale, they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Other than the first wave of attacks that stunned the people hiding in the forest, the other side quickly organized a counterattack.
Although those people had been hiding their faces, they were quite strong.
Apart from the first wave of heavy machine gun fire that they were unable to do anything about, the rest of the guerrillas were well-coordinated and well-trained. As a result, casualties began to appear in the guerrillas.
Simon was a little hesitant. She seemed to want to turn around and help, but Zhang Heng knew that she was the group's target. If she stayed, she would only bring more danger to the others. So, he patted her on the shoulder.
