Chapter 595: Surround and Intercept
After calculating the elapsed time, Gu Fan saw that there were no indigenous people moving within the hamlet. He used a knife to pry open the gate and quietly slipped inside.
Su Hui stood at the gate, her gun at the ready, crouching low and maintaining vigilance. She had a feeling things wouldn’t go smoothly.
Fortunately, Xu Haowen and two crew members were not held in a very remote place. Gu Fan easily found them, severed the ropes tied to the stake with his dagger, and lowered them all one by one.
It was at that moment, an indigenous person walked out of the cave. He saw what was happening and yelled loudly.
Without wasting a word, Su Hui shot the indigenous person, then yelled, "Run!"
Gu Fan, Xu Haowen, and the two crew members immediately ran, following Su Hui out of the hamlet. They all knew that even though most of the indigenous people had left, there were still many that stayed behind, making it unsafe for them to stay around much longer.
The gunshot made by Su Hui wasn’t quiet and it alarmed all the staying indigenous people. They all emerged from their houses and caves, picking up crude weapons to give chase.
Su Hui, Gu Fan, and Xu Haowen dove into the forest. Su Hui didn’t run immediately, instead, she pointed her gun towards the entrance of the hamlet. As soon as she spotted an indigenous person, she fired.
The five indigenous people who rushed forward first were all hit by bullets, groaning in pain on the ground. This scared the remaining indigenous people and made them hesitant to come forward, fearing they would suffer the same fate.
