The two fighters slid into the swimming pool just as bullets from a dozen submachine guns pierced the air above their heads. Green Snake endured through the pain the poison was putting her through, bracing herself under the water next to Qin Feng. Qin Feng quickly positioned himself with his head above the water to see his targets, then he aimed the guns he’d taken.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
His shots were all accurate. The mercenaries didn’t expect Qin Feng to still be fighting and they’d forgotten about how well he was armed. The mercenaries had surrounded the pool and were easy targets for Qin Feng to hit with his submachine guns firing at the same time.
Once he saw eight men fall in seconds, the One-Eyed Dragon was anxious to order a retreat. “Come on. All of you, come back.”
He’d been hiding around the corner watching the situation carefully. He knew Qin Feng too well and knew that even when backed into a corner—or pool—he was still a lethal fighter. As long as he didn’t die, no one could predict what his next move would be.
However, although Qin Feng was still a skilled fighter, but at this moment, he was actually incredibly anxious. As he had been fighting the mercenaries, Green Snake had stayed below the water holding her breath and at some point had slid to the bottom of the pool.
Qin Feng realized the toxicity was getting more and more serious. Green Snake had been able to hold her breath for nearly seven minutes before but in the two minutes Qin Feng had been fighting, she had passed out. Qin Feng held her and nervously repeated her name over and over.
Eventually, Qin Feng anxiously pinched Green Snake’s philtrum. She fiercely choked, spitting up a few gulps of water, and then tried her hardest to focus her eyes on Qin Feng’s face. She weakly asked, “Qin Feng, am I still alive?”
Green Snake appeared to be hallucinating. She felt like she had already walked down the road towards death. In front of her, several imps shook flags and shouted at her. There had been a bridge in front of her, and if she’d crossed it, she would have entered another world. When Qin Feng had pinched her, he’d pulled her back from the edge of the bridge.
"Once I kill them all, I’ll get you out of here,” Qin Feng said quickly as he gently placed Green Snake on the stairs. Then he quickly changed positions in the water, bracing himself to fight the mercenaries that would come from the other side.
The One-Eyed Dragon was still in the room, thinking about how best to command his men without losing more of them.
“Boss, throw grenades to kill him!” one of the mercenaries excitedly said.
The One-Eyed Dragon knew he had to try to take Qin Feng alive. If it came down to the final moment and there really was no other choice, it wouldn’t be too late to kill him. Besides, Shark Kun’s men had fitted the villa with a bomb. Even if the two sides were deadlocked, his men could just escape the villa and immediately detonate the bomb. When the time came, Qin Feng could go to the sky and find his comrades-in-arms.
Qin Feng hid in the corner of the swimming pool, his gun facing the corner of the room opposite him. As soon as someone dared to take the lead and enter the pool room, he would immediately shoot them through the eyes. Qin Feng was confident that he could shoot each soldier down with one shot. As long as Green Snake could endure, he would destroy the One-Eyed Dragon’s group little by little.
"Qin Feng, I know you have guns in your hands. You can resist for as long as you’re alive, but did you think about Green Snake’s health? She’s your woman and she’s been poisoned. In just a quarter of an hour, she’ll die if she doesn’t take the antidote."
The One-Eyed Dragon then shouted, "And aren't you supposed to be full of benevolence and morality? Are you not trying to save all humanity? You can't even save the women around you. What kind of man are you? If you don’t want her to die, you still have a chance to save her. Surrender, hand over the list, and I’ll let you go. Otherwise, just wait and die, and you can meet her in the afterlife."
The One-Eyed Dragon knew that he had the upper hand. Green Snake didn’t have much more time left. Surely Qin Feng, the man who carried about saving the world, wouldn’t ignore the safety of Green Snake and let her perish.
"You are a brute, and I must kill you. Don't be so arrogant. If Green Snake has any troubles, I’ll take you to the grave.
The One-Eyed Snake replied, "Oh, I don’t care much for my life. My life is cheap, and this life I’ve lived already is enough. But I know you care about Green Snake’s life. I'll give you ten minutes to think about what you want to do." Then he ordered his subordinates to guard the exits of the villa including the windows behind the pool.
Qin Feng swam over to Green Snake and pulled her out of the water. Qin Feng knew that outside of the pool room, there was open land. If he dragged Green Snake out of the room, they would be easy targets, and Green Snake had no power left to fight back.
Qin Feng was really facing a dilemma. On one hand, he had to consider the list. On the other, he was determined to save Green Snake’s life.
Even if he handed over the list, would the One-Eyed Dragon hand over the antidote? Even if the antidote was real, would he let Qin Feng and Green Snake go just like that?
Qin Feng rarely felt helpless. He looked through the window above the pool to see the moonlight. His heart was very confused. He really missed Xiao He and Green Dragon at that moment. If they were all there, they could easily find a solution and escape. Even if there were many more enemies, they could easily defeat them all.
But now, Qin Feng had to consider Green Snake’s health. He couldn’t abandon her.
"I...Qin Feng, go quickly. Leave me here alone. The One-Eyed Dragon is sure you will take care of me, so…don’t worry about me. I don't want to be a burden to you. I can handle myself, rest assured."
Green Snake grabbed her gun, pushed Qin Feng as hard as she could and said firmly, "Quick, go quickly. I’ll cover you and take shots until the end. I’ll fight ruthlessly. You must escape."
He had lost Xiao He already. How could he bear to lose Green Snake again?
No, no! I won’t leave another one behind!
Qin Feng tightly held Green Snake’s hand and said, "I owe you too much. I can’t make another mistake with regards to you. If there's no way out today, I'll take you. I feel guilty enough for Xiao He’s death. You also heard how they treated his body. Even if they take my life, I’ll never abandon you. Never!"
Qin Feng’s determined tone made Green Snake lose her desire to persuade him to leave. She was very moved by his words and thought again of how attracted to him she was.
Qin Feng calmed down somewhat and began to observe the surrounding environment. There were opportunities here, he just had to think of how to take advantage of them.
Suddenly, Qin Feng raised his hand and smashed the transformer box on the wall. For a moment, every light on the entire floor went out. Nothing could be seen in the dark room. Qin Feng then took Green Snake’s hand and whispered a few words into her ear.
The One-Eyed Dragon was a little bit nervous. He couldn’t see anything and could only navigate by ear which eliminated the advantage of having more men on his side. Qin Feng, on the other hand, was very excited. He always liked to attack when the other side was unprepared.
The One-Eyed Dragon quickly got the attention of two of his subordinates and said quietly, "You two, go over to see the situation. Be careful and be sure to fire early."
The two strong mercenaries, armed with submachine guns with night vision, moved towards the swimming pool step by step. When they reached the edge, they suddenly heard a loud noise. They frantically fired at the pool for a long time before looking into the water. There was nothing there.
Just as they stopped firing their guns and began to move again, darts plunged into each of their throats. They fell into the pool without even a moment’s chance to fight back.
The One-Eyed Dragon, hearing the splash, anxiously spoke to several other mercenaries, saying, "What’s the matter over there? Check it out!"
The subordinates took deep breaths and boldly walked around the corner. Just as they exposed their heads, there were two loud bangs. The bullets went straight between their eyebrows and the men fell back to the ground at the One-Eyed Dragon’s feet. When he saw this scene, he shrank back with fear and ran to the garage door.
The garage door led to the front yard. If he ran out this way, it would be hard to catch him again.
Qin Feng grabbed the pool balls on the table and threw them directly at the corner of the room. Although he couldn’t see the One-Eyed Dragon, Qin Feng knew exactly where he was. He threw the balls in such a way that they ricocheted off the walls.
In such a dark room, the One-Eyed Dragon did not see the balls coming at all. He managed to hear and avoid the first one, but the second directly hit his knee. He screamed, involuntarily bending over, and several of the incoming balls hit him square in the face. He felt his nose flatten and blood poured over his mouth.
Qin Feng’s move had had a surprise effect. He’d stopped the One-Eyed Dragon after he’d opened the garage door but before he used that route to escape.
Qin Feng ran over, shooting expertly. The six men blocking the One-Eyed Dragon were killed instantly. They’d tried to shoot at Qin Feng but didn’t even graze him with a single bullet. This was the difference between special combat fighters and ordinary mercenaries. In complex military battles, men like Qin Feng were always able to make the best choices with limited time and resources. With a few pool balls, Qin Feng had stopped the great leader, the One-Eyed Dragon.
This man had done a lot of evil things under Shark Kun. He’d killed thousands of men and hurt many more.
