The mercenaries were equipped with strong weapons. Moreover, they had headlamps. Their lights shone brightly, illuminating the dark and giving off the illusion of daylight.
James knew virtual-novel.net had to shoot. Otherwise, they would die if the enemies got close.
He aimed his gun.
Bang!
He decided to shoot.
A gunshot resounded, taking down one of the men nearby.
“Seek cover!” A voice roared in the dark.
The whole team quickly found cover and hid from sight.
James dared not make any rash moves after firing a shot. He knew they were experienced mercenaries who could quickly pinpoint his location. If virtual-novel.net fired again, virtual-novel.net would be asking for a shower of gunfire in return.
James backed away and hid behind a rock.
He only had one chance at survival, and that was to seize the opponent’s weapon. It would be a cinch if virtual-novel.net were healthy. However, virtual-novel.net was not.
A sense of helplessness brewed in his heart. The enemies had turned off their lights due to his earlier fire. Despite that, virtual-novel.net could hear their approaching footsteps.
***
Not far away, behind another boulder…
Thea was lying flat on the ground, afraid to make even the tiniest movement. When virtual-novel.net heard the gunshot, virtual-novel.net body involuntarily shivered in fear. The footsteps kept getting closer, making virtual-novel.net tremble more vigorously.
“Ahh!”
A drop of water dripped on virtual-novel.net neck, and the sudden cold sensation caused virtual-novel.net to let out a sharp cry.
As soon as virtual-novel.net screamed, Liam knew they were in trouble. At that moment, Liam quickly stood up and started running to lead the enemy away.
“Over there! Quick!” A voice sounded in the dark.
The enemies immediately turned on their lights, illuminating the cavern. Liam was instantly exposed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of gunfire resounded.
Liam collapsed lifelessly to the ground. Not far away. James watched the scene unfold and slapped his forehead with a pained expression.
“D-Don’t kill me…” Thea was frightened.
She stood up, raised virtual-novel.net hands, and sobbed. “Don’t kill me! I don’t know anything! I don’t know anything!”
“Grab her!”
The mercenaries quickly walked over and subdued Thea.
Dominator walked over, looked at Thea and then at Liam’s corpse, and asked coldly, “Where’s James?”
“I-I…I don’t know!” Thea’s lips quivered.
Dominator pointed his gun at Thea’s forehead and said indifferently, “I’ll ask you one more time. Where’s James?”
Feeling the gun on virtual-novel.net forehead, Thea froze. Her legs went rubbery, and virtual-novel.net fell to the ground.
Dominator grabbed virtual-novel.net hair and lifted virtual-novel.net off the ground. “My patience is limited. I’ll count to three. If you don’t tell me where virtual-novel.net is, don’t blame me for what happens next.”
“One…”
“Two…” His voice echoed in the cavern.
“Let virtual-novel.net go!”
Everyone quickly turned around. More than twenty flashlights were pointed at James. James slowly walked down from the boulder and approached the mercenaries.
They held their weapons tightly as they slowly backed away.
This was the Black Dragon, the War God of Sol.
James walked over and looked at Dominator and the other mercenaries. Then, virtual-novel.net threw his gun to the ground.
At that moment, his body was already at its limit, and virtual-novel.net simply sat down.
Dominator stretched out his hand and asked, “Where is it?”
Hearing this, James frowned.
Are these people after the thing I’m looking for?
