Bang!

The gunshot exploded, piercingly loud in the quiet of the deep night!

In the blink of an eye, it woke up everyone in the merchant caravan, and just as many people had just dashed out of their tents to check what was happening, another succession of gunshots rang out, accompanied by screams and groans!

This scene unfolded in an instant. Many people, still groggy, stepped out of their tents only to be gunned down immediately!

"We're being attacked! We're being attacked!!!"

One bodyguard after another screamed frantically as they drew their handguns to return fire, making the night sky even more oppressive and bloody!

Shen Jiao and Guo Qiming had just stepped out of their tent and were now hiding behind the caravan's vehicles, their faces ashen!

"Miss, it's bad! We've... we've encountered the Rebel Army!"

Guo Qiming's body trembled violently, his face as pale as paper. Seeing one bodyguard after another being killed, he almost regretted his guts out. Knowing this would happen, he would never have come to Africa, this godforsaken place.

Shen Jiao's pretty face was also somewhat pale, but she was much calmer than Guo Qiming. She now asked:

"How many people do they have?"

"Forty? Fi… Fifty? Maybe… maybe sixty?" Guo Qiming was now sweating bullets, his face extremely panicked as he stammered.

Hearing his words, a hint of contempt flashed through Shen Jiao's beautiful eyes:

"Tell our people to avoid casualties as much as possible. The rebels are primarily after money; if push comes to shove, we can spend money to avoid disaster!"

Shen Jiao remained composed, her mind clear. However, upon hearing her words, a look of anxiety crossed Guo Qiming's face:

"Miss, these rebels are ruthless killers. Besides, we need our money to buy rough stones. If we really give it to them, what will happen to our business? Better to let the bodyguards hold off the rebels while we make a quick escape!"

Guo Qiming only thought about escaping as soon as possible. As long as he had his life and money, even if all the bodyguards were killed by the rebels, he wouldn't have an ounce of pity. They could simply hire more mercenaries with money to protect them.

Hearing this, Shen Jiao's expression darkened, and her gaze towards Guo Qiming was filled with disgust:

"I brought them out here; it's my responsibility to get them back home safely to reunite with their families! Lives are always worth more than money!"

Shen Jiao's words were biting cold, but Guo Qiming seemed indifferent. In his eyes, only his own life was valuable. As for the lives of others, what did their deaths have to do with him!

And just then, Guo Qiming's eyes shifted and he noticed Ye Feng and Ye Mei stealthily slipping out of a tent, which immediately caught his attention.

"Miss Ye Mei, come this way!"

Guo Qiming called out to Ye Mei, and then Ye Feng and Ye Mei hurried over.

"Miss Ye Mei, are you alright? Don't worry, with Guo Qiming here, no one will dare to harm you!"

Guo Qiming now patted his chest, completely forgetting the scene where he had nearly wet himself from fear. Yet his words only made Shen Jiao even more disdainful.

Ye Mei didn't speak, nor did she even glance at Guo Qiming, which immediately soured his expression. His gaze then shifted to Ye Feng:

"Ye Feng, quick! Go help those bodyguards; Miss Shen and Miss Ye Mei will be safe with me!"

While speaking, Guo Qiming attempted to push Ye Feng into action, but he was stopped by Shen Jiao:

"Guo Qiming, have you lost your mind? Ye Feng doesn't have a gun; how can he help? If anyone should help, it's you! I remember you have a gun!"

Shen Jiao's rebuke, full of contempt for Guo Qiming, instantly turned his face as red as a liver!

Bang bang bang!

At that moment, the sounds of gunfire grew even more frequent, bodyguards fell with blood spurting, and in the blink of an eye over ten lay dead, leaving only a few, their faces ashen, retreating towards them.

"Miss, hurry up and go! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!!!"

These bodyguards all had injuries of varying severity, but at this moment were not concerned with themselves; instead, they anxiously yelled at Shen Jiao.

And looking at her subordinates' pitiful state, Shen Jiao's beautiful eyes instantly reddened, but she knew that it was already too late to think of leaving now!

Because they were surrounded!

"Hands up!!!"

Da-da-da!

At this moment, about a dozen black soldiers suddenly swarmed around the car, each armed with an AK47 aimed squarely at Shen Jiao and her companions, shouting loudly!

Some blasted warning shots into the sky; the rat-tat-tat of gunfire made Shen Jiao and the others tremble all over!

"Damn it!"

The few remaining bodyguards' faces darkened to the extreme. Facing the muzzles pointed at their foreheads, they could only helplessly lay down their weapons.

And at this moment, as Guo Qiming had the black muzzle of a gun pointed at his head, his soul nearly left his body. He immediately wanted to beg for mercy:

"Gentlemen... I..."

However, just as Guo Qiming started speaking, a look of fierceness flashed across the face of the black rebel holding the AK47, who raised the gun and viciously smashed it down onto Guo Qiming's head!

Bang!

Following a dull thud and Guo Qiming's cry of agony, his head burst open, gushing out streams of scarlet blood!

Touching the fresh blood on his head and seeing the fierce expressions of the black men, Guo Qiming trembled all over, his pants immediately becoming wet—he had been scared to the point of wetting himself!

"Haha... Look at this, the Chinese man is such trash, scared to the point of pissing himself so easily. No wonder they say the Chinese are the sick man of East Asia, the name is indeed well-deserved!"

One black man in the lead, filled with mockery as he observed Guo Qiming, ignited laughter among the others following his words:

"Haha... Shi-t! I've heard there are over a billion Chinese, but I didn't expect them all to be so cowardly!"

"Hehe... don't say that. The yellow man who killed our colonel might also be Chinese!"

...

At this moment, the black soldiers roared with wild laughter, but the mention of the word "colonel" made everyone shiver and the laughter abruptly stopped.

However, just then, a somewhat abrupt voice came through:

"He's not Chinese!"

Huh?

This voice came at such an inappropriate time that it made the dozen or so rebels pause, while Shen Jiao and Guo Qiming's expressions changed dramatically as they both turned to look in Ye Feng's direction.

It was Ye Feng who had spoken those words!

"Ye Feng! Don't talk!"

Shen Jiao's beautiful face grew even paler. She felt the same fear of the black men's brutality. If Ye Feng truly angered these rebels, even money wouldn't be able to save his life!

And Guo Qiming had a look of mockery on his face; he had been scared into wetting himself, which was incredibly shameful, but if Ye Feng angered these rebels, they would inevitably treat him even worse!

"It's best if they just shoot this guy, then I'll have a chance at getting that little girl!"

Guo Qiming thought viciously to himself, but just then, he realized something was off with the atmosphere at the scene!
