Chapter 116 Don't Hesitate
Chapter 116 Don't Hesitate
If you sense danger, don't hesitate, run.
If you feel you are being targeted, don't hesitate, just lie down.
Two sentences flashed through Gao Yi's mind at the same time. They had similar meanings, but because the identities of the speakers were different, the contents were different.
The former was taught by Chen Guangxin, and the latter was taught by Lin Xianghua. There is a difference between killers and mercenaries. The biggest difference is that if a mercenary is targeted, it is more likely that he will be hit by not one bullet, but a series of bullets, or even a cannonball.
The one running forward is Saib, and on both sides are Saib's men. No matter whether running forward or sideways, you may be misunderstood by Saib's men, leading to greater danger.
Also, if you are being targeted by someone, lying down is definitely the best solution. Lie down first. This way at least it will not cause any misunderstanding among Saib and his guards.
All these were just fleeting thoughts in his mind. In a flash, Gao Yi's knees softened, his body curled up, and he prostrated himself in front of Saib.
Let's put aside the embarrassing things for now. Saving your life is what's important. Even if it's a false alarm, even if nothing happened, just lie down first.
Gao Yi's strange behavior made Saib open his eyes in shock, and the many guards around him instinctively pointed their guns at Gao Yi.
Then, Saib suddenly realized something. Just when Gao Yi just lay on the ground and didn't even have time to say anything, Saib made the same choice as Gao Yi between retreating and lying down.
Saibu fell to the ground in a flash, his bald head almost touching Gao Yi's face.
At the moment Saib fell down, a guard behind him suddenly spurted out a large amount of blood.
There was no sound of gunfire, no sound of bullets breaking through the air, only a loud bang, and then the guard fell to the ground with a thud.
Gao Yi's face was pressed against the ground, and what he saw was Saibu's shiny forehead.
Two pairs of terrified eyes stared at each other, and then Gao Yi roared: "You dare to kill me?"
Saib yelled, "Save me, save me!"
A man standing next to Saibu raised his hand, pointed in the direction where Gao Yi had just stood, and shouted, "In..."
Before he could finish his words, a huge ball of blood burst out from the body of the guard who stretched out his hand.
There was still no gunshot this time, but Gao Yi heard the sound of bullets breaking through the air, and then a group of people who had just stood next to Saibu began to fall down one after another.
At least four died in an instant.
Why can we say for sure that four people died? Because each person's body was immediately missing a large piece at the place where he was shot, which is commonly known as being broken.
Gao Yi rolled backwards twice, then he used his hands and feet to get up from the ground, bent his waist and ran quickly to one side.
Petel yelled, "Five o'clock, heavy machine guns! Protect the boss, hide, hide!"
Saib's reaction was not slower than Gao Yi's, but his movements were slower than Gao Yi's. Just when Peter rushed to Gao Yi, also bent over, made a protective posture and ran desperately to the side, he suddenly stopped, then turned around and ran towards Gao Yi.
Saib's twist was a stroke of genius, because the two people in front of him fell down without a sound. If he had not turned around, he would definitely have been hit by the bullet.
It is obvious that the threat is not from Gao Yi and his people.
Lin Xianghua, who was holding down Alavi, suddenly pressed down Alavi's head, and then he and Alavi fell to the ground at the same time. Zike and Hadram got out of the car with him. While Lin Xianghua was pulling Alavi to lie down, the two of them ran sideways and trotted towards Gao Yi, bending over and jogging.
Gao Yi was running with his back bent, and then he saw a machine gun position made of sandbags in front of him. At this moment, a man in a robe was pulling up the bolt handle of a heavy machine gun and then letting go.
The operating procedures of a heavy machine gun: pull the bolt, release, and fire.
Petel suddenly pressed Gao Yi's neck, and Gao Yi and Petel fell to the ground again. Then, deafening gunshots began to sound above Gao Yi's head.
The sound of gunfire was so loud that Gao Yi's ears started to tinnitus after just two shots, and the muzzle flame from the gun even made Gao Yi feel the shock wave.
Gao Yi subconsciously covered his ears, and then he began to twist and wriggle forward on the ground like a worm without any instruction.
The muzzle of the heavy machine gun was right above his head. He left the muzzle's range first. Gao Yi, who was squirming frantically, felt someone pulling his clothes, and immediately obeyed the pulling force and climbed up.
He got up, staggered and ran with a bent back, feeling the pressure on his back, and fell forward again.
A rustling sound was heard from the heavy machine gun position behind him, and then the heavy machine gun shooting that almost deafened Gao Yi came to an abrupt stop.
Gao Yi looked back.
The machine gunner's body, with the left half of his body missing, was lying on the machine gun, and a familiar bald man had just climbed over the sandbags of the machine gun position and hid in the machine gun bunker.
Petel also lay on the ground. There was no cover here, only flat ground. He pressed his face to the ground and shouted, "Five o'clock direction, spread out, hide! Hide! Barbed wire! Hadram!"
The two men ran over frantically, and in order to speed up, they even straightened their backs.
Saib's men were too bad. They were unable to organize an effective counterattack. In other words, after discovering that they were attacked, Saib's men's first reaction was to lie down on the spot, and then they were very experienced in finding hiding places. As for fighting back, that was absolutely impossible. Iraq had been fighting for many years. No matter how stupid the locals were, they should have learned the skills to survive in battle.
So it’s not that Saib’s people don’t know how to fight, they just don’t want to fight for Saib at the risk of their lives.
But the people Gao Yi brought were different. Peter always stayed by his side. Although he could not provide any protection, he never escaped alone. After making a detour, Zeke and Hadram took the initiative to jump into the machine gun bunker.
Pushing aside the machine gunner's body, Zeke grabbed the gun handle which had become slippery due to being covered in blood, but he did not rush to fire. Instead, he hid most of his body under the bunker.
Hadram lay on the sandbags, half of his head exposed, lowered the night vision goggles on his head, and quickly shouted: "Enemy cease fire, alert!"
The sniper fired one shot and left. Because the distance was over a thousand meters, there was no chance for a second shot, but they prepared a machine gun and used it to complete the subsequent shooting.
He only fired one burst of bullets and immediately stopped firing when he realized there was no chance. If nothing unexpected happened, the person who fired the shot had already moved away.
Saibu's people were howling like ghosts and wolves, while Gaoyi's people were silent. The contrast was very obvious.
"Are you okay?"
Someone in the machine gun bunker asked tremblingly.
Saibu was quick. When he saw Gao Yi lying down, he also lay down. When Gao Yi ran, he followed him. If he had reacted a little slower, he would have definitely become a mutilated corpse by now.
Zeke didn't move. Hadram turned his head to look at Saib, who was huddled beside him, but he immediately turned his gaze away and just whispered, "Boss, what should we do?"
Petel was beside Gao Yi. He whispered, "Sir, what should we do?"
Gao Yi shuddered. Peter was reminding him that if he wanted to take action, now was a good time.
The machine gun was in Zeke's hands. What was his nickname? Anyway, the machine gun was in his own hands, and Saib was right beside him. If he took action at this time, he could kill all of Saib's guards without any problem.
But in this situation, there seems to be no need to rush to kill Saib. After all, there are unidentified people in the distance who may open fire at any time.
Now that Saibu has been beaten to death, what if someone tries to take credit for it? Who can prove that Saibu was beaten to death by him and not someone else?
Gao Yi patted his ears, and then he shouted: "This is a trap, stay safe, don't move, retreat to a safe area first!"
Saibu heard Gao Yi's words and shouted in the machine gun bunker: "It's not me, believe me, it's definitely not me."
He first called out to Gao Yi, and then Saib switched to Arabic. Although Gao Yi couldn't understand what he was saying, he could tell from the tone that Saib was cursing very dirty.
Saib's guards started to move, albeit slowly, but more and more people began to move. Some were shouting something, some were shooting in the direction of the firing, and then a few people drove a car over.
Instead of letting Saib get in the car, they used the car as a cover to protect Saib from leaving the machine gun position next to his door so that he could enter the house safely.
Gao Yi did not move either. He just stared at Saib. Saib stopped and said to Gao Yi sincerely: "Come in, it's safe inside! We are not afraid even if there are rockets and artillery shells."
Just go in, Gao Yi waved his hand, stood up, and ran into Saib's yard with Peter.
After running into the yard, Gao Yi stared at Saib and said gloomily while holding the intercom: "Spread out, stay away, protect Alawi, and wait for my news. Now I have to talk to... first."
Knowing Saib's real name made it harder to remember his pseudonym, so Gao Yi stared at Saib and said, "Okay, before we continue discussing our deal, explain to me what's going on."
"Go inside, go in and talk, there may be mortars."
Saib eagerly invited Gao Yi into the house to talk. Gao Yi did not insist. He followed Saib quickly into the carpeted mansion, passed through two doors, and entered a small house with no windows at all.
Well, there are only four people in this room now, Gao Yi and Petel, as well as Saib and his bearded subordinate who looks a little silly.
There were no chairs in the cabin, just a carpet. Gao Yi and Petel walked on it with their shoes, leaving two clear lines of footprints.
Saibu grabbed a bottle of water on the low table and gulped it down. Then he wiped his mouth and said to Gao Yi, "I'm sorry for involving you. I'm very sorry."
Gao Yi didn't say anything, but just kept staring at Saibu.
Saib said slightly embarrassedly: "How about... we continue to discuss the deal."
Gao Yi looked at Petel, who hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, I think... we can talk."
Gao Yi had never encountered such a good hands-on environment, and he had never dared to even imagine it.
However, Saib's men are still outside, and there are quite a few of them, so let's talk and end this mission in a safe way.
For example, it would be nice to lure someone into a trap.
