Chapter 213: Chapter 213: The Descended Fairy
The armed soldiers upon seeing them getting further and further away no longer held back. Maybe they were just overthinking.
Moreover, no matter what happened, they had to complete their mission. Otherwise, how could they get the promised benefits?
"Qi Long, you have been in a high position for so long, yet in the end you have to die here like a rat without even a burial place.
You always thought you were better than the rest of us. Preaching righteousness, how is that righteousness going to help you now?" One man with a buff build and rough face mocked.
He wasn’t the leader, but he obviously couldn’t wait to vent his anger and thought that putting Qi Long down would make him feel better.
Qi Long just looked at him and said nothing. However, Fu Nie wasn’t the same, he retorted immediately.
"At least our captain does what the oath he took represents. To protect the country and its citizens. Unlike you people, driven by benefits, you don’t even hesitate to kill your comrades."
The others also looked at the opposite group with disdain. Even though they were facing death, no one showed weakness.
"You are about to die and instead of begging for mercy, you are still so cocky talking about that annoying righteousness again.
At a time like this, if you don’t plan for yourself and still think about citizens, won’t you just be waiting for death. Why should soldiers go hungry and suffer while they give the best things to those useless people who do nothing but cry and ask the government for help?
We are also human beings." Another soldier on the other side replied with bitterness.
"Nobody is forcing you to continue serving. You could retire and go look after yourself without using your position as a soldier to tarnish the righteous profession.
You just want easy benefits. Like right now, aren’t you just here to kill us to gain some promised benefits?
You don’t even know that the reason those leaders sent you to kill us was because we refused to be used as tools to fight for political and economic power among several groups.
Just because we refused to be weapons that kill the citizens we swore to protect, we have to be eliminated. And you think you are doing something right?
Today you were told to kill fellow soldiers, and you didn’t hesitate. Tomorrow you will be sent to wipe out a group of ordinary citizens, and you will hesitate even less.
What kind of a soldier are you?" Bai Yan asked while eying those soldiers.
Even though they were quarrelling with these people, they were actually buying more time, not only for the others to get away, but also for Ye Xuan to arrive.
Before the soldier arguing with them could retort, he was interrupted by a tall man who had been standing on his boat quietly while observing them.
"Captain Qi, I am just carrying orders." He said with a deep voice.
He was one of those soldiers with rules ingrained in their blood. Since he was told to eliminate them, he would follow his orders. He didn’t need to ask why.
Qi Long knew about the guy. He was a small group leader and had not been promoted despite his achievements due to his rigid character.
It was feared that he might send a team to their death if they go on a mission and it becomes impossible to complete. He might try to force his team to complete it despite the danger because his orders didn’t say he should retreat.
Now looking at him, he understood why the leaders had sent him. Because even if they could sway anyone else with their reasoning, he couldn’t be swayed.
"I know. The leaders didn’t want to take chances at all and give us even the slightest opportunity to escape. But if you ever find it difficult to continue serving under them, go to City A.
You will be able to fulfill your duties there without hurting the innocent. You will also find a leader worth following." Qi Long replied to Liu Chen. That was the name of the soldier.
"Okay." Liu Chen replied, then the next moment he gave the order to fire.
"Fire." He said with dignity.
Yi Wen was prepared to take his brothers and leave, even though he doubted that he could run on water but he couldn’t stay there and watch his brothers die. He had to try.
However, as soon as Liu Chen gave the order, the soldiers who had been holding their guns ready opened fire. Several guns sprayed bullets in their direction like they were free.
They could only accept death at that moment. At least their brothers won’t be alone in the underworld. They just hoped that the others had gotten far enough to survive.
However, the pain from the bullets never came. They were still breathing and unharmed even after the shooting had been going on for two minutes.
How was that possible? They hadn’t been looking at the people shooting them because they didn’t want to satisfy some of their sick expectations of seeing them panic.
Now however, they raised their heads to look forward.
And this look surprised them to the core. At the same time, the soldiers on the other side stopped shooting. They were equally shocked by the development of the events taking place right in front of them.
Not only did the bullets they shot not hit the target, but they also disappeared into thin air. Yes, the bullets didn’t even get close to the people they were supposed to be shooting.
How is that possible? Also, where did the bullets go?
The most surprising thing, however, was not these two.
There was a girl with the most exquisite face they had ever seen standing in front of them with slightly raised hands looking at them with a cold expression.
Her eyes were as clear as a stream of mountain water, pure and untainted. Her skin was smooth and white as snow. She had a high nose bridge and small but pouty mouth.
She looked adorable in any way one looked at her, but the problem was her expression. It couldn’t be any colder. It was so cold that they felt themselves shiver and goosebumps rise on their arms.
While this was what the soldiers on a mission to murder saw, the ones in the line of fire saw something different.
To them, a fairy had descended and stood in front of them to protect them. She stopped bullets that could have turned them into a sieve and like an unshakable rock, nothing happened to her.
They couldn’t see her face, but they were sure she was the most beautiful fairy in the universe.
"Thank you fairy." Fu Nie said after coming back to his senses.
Before Chu Miao could correct him, she heard a few more voices chorus, "Thank you fairy."
She felt resigned. What kind of people did Ye Xuan take in? Where did she look like a fairy?
Chu Miao was quite unaware of how divine her looks were. If it was another girl, she would be as vain as could be.
