Chapter 1049: Unity
Minutes before the container was raised, the gunfire shooting at the container where Elliot was continued. When it paused, Elliot and his team fired back. They almost emptied their ammo before they stopped, waiting for the enemies to kick the door open. Doing the initiative was too risky. Who knew if the enemies were just waiting for them to get out of the container?
Elliot drew a deep breath, ignoring the faint gunfire outside. He focused on his situation but kept in mind that shots were fired elsewhere. This could mean many things. A glint flickered across his eyes, pistol over the barricade, breaths heavy and controlled. Not just him, but the people with him had their eyes fixed on the entrance. They could vaguely see movements outside through the little holes their enemies created.
BAM!
In no time, the door was forced and kicked open. Without wasting a second, Elliot and his team opened fire at the people coming in. They didn’t consider it could be an ally. After all, if the people outside were part of their team, they would know that kicking the door open without saying a word could cost them their lives.
This was a battlefield.
The sound of gunfire echoed loudly in the enclosed space, sparks flying from each end. More holes appeared on the metal walls, and some of Elliot’s people let out a grunt after being hit. But Elliot didn’t stop, nor did he bother. He focused on taking down everyone in sight, stopping when the last person by the entrance fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Ugh..."
"Are you alright?" Elliot quickly faced his comrade, eyes shaking as it fell on the man’s shoulder. The latter was clasping his shoulder, blood squeezing through the gaps of his fingers.
"Damn it," Elliot breathed out, peeking over the barricade to make sure the entrance was clear. "Stay here. I’m going out."
