Chapter 3555 - A New Addition (171)

When the man saw this, he was so angry that he kicked her. Chu He's body slammed into the thick tree trunk and the pain was so excruciating she couldn't even scream.

"Speak!"

Chu He sneered and said scornfully, "I'm not from the government."

The leader did not believe it at all. He was certain that Chu He was a mercenary sent by the government or an intelligence agent from some organization. Because of this, Chu He did not bother to explain. In any case, they might not believe her even if she said that she wasn't!

Chu He heard someone asking, "Captain, what should we do with this person?"

In a daze, she heard the leader's reply. "Behead her as an example to all!"

Decapitation was the most common tactic used by terrorists.

Perhaps the people living in peaceful countries could not understand this way of doing things.

What the rebel army meant by beheading, was to bind the hands and feet of the person, who would then be made to kneel on the ground while a blunt knife, like the sort used to slaughter cattle, is used to cut through the throat bit by bit!

It would be more accurate to call it throat-cutting rather than beheading.

The victim would not die immediately, but would instead be able to see clearly how his own throat was being cut. This method of death was especially agonizing. The blade was very blunt, so that the victim suffers maximum pain and this would show the rebel to be powerful.

Chu He did not show much fear on her face when she heard this.

She was pushed to the ground. A soldier grabbed her by the hair and forced her to kneel on both knees. He drew out a small rusty knife from behind him and slowly pressed it against her neck.

Chu He could feel the cold blade against her skin. She slowly closed her eyes.

However, the pain that she expected did not come.

Vaguely, she felt the hand that gripped her loosened and the knife fell to the ground. Immediately after, fresh warm blood fell on her shoulder and soaked through her clothes.

Chu He snapped out of her daze and looked up in surprise, only to be greeted by a lifeless face.

The soldier's eyes widened as someone attacked him from behind. A sharp triangular blade nearly pierced right through his heart. He fell limply onto her.

Chu He was unable to bear the burden and fell to the ground.

She heard loud cracks and immediately recognized that it was the sound of a shotgun.

Shotguns have thick barrels. The diameter of the muzzle may measure up to 20 mm, it has great firepower and is a weapon with terrifying explosive power in close combat.

If a bullet hits a human body, the wound would expand explosively and the person would be killed in one shot.

If fired at close range, the bullet could send a person flying.

As Chu He fell to the ground, she could vaguely see a tall man. He was fully armed with three pistols on his back and two rows of bullets strapped around his shoulders. He held a shotgun and nimbly dodged the attacks of the soldiers. Within a very short time, more than ten soldiers had been shot dead.

At this point, a child ran to her side and gently patted her face. He asked nervously, "Big Sister, are you alright?"

Chu He looked up and met Linxi's anxious gaze.

"It's'¦ you?"

"Uh huh!"

Linxi dragged her to the tree and used the dagger to cut away the ropes that were binding her. However, he noticed the wound on her abdomen and frowned with heartache.

"How are you feeling? Are you alright? You've been injured!"

Chu He shook her head, indicating that she was fine. However, she was puzzled and asked with difficulty, "Why'¦ why are you here?"
