4466 The Other Side 435
BANG!
Gong Jie fired a shot. Almost at once, the bullet hit the puddle of diesel beneath the car. Flames instantly spread all the way and surrounded the oil tank. The car exploded and flipped over.
"Let's go quickly. We can't stay here for long. If the explosion alarms the nearby troops and they come over, we'll be in trouble."
Hua Jin asked, "How and where are we going?"
"To the harbor. The main force is waiting there, but first we find a place where they can send troops to meet us.'
"Okay." The actor followed Gong Jie. He knew very well that most of East Africa had already fallen. Initially, it was just a small-scale battle, but in the end, it grew and spread.
Earlier on when the car was charging straight ahead, the actor had watched helplessly as they passed through the hail of bullets on the way. It was hard to imagine, but if they had been any later, they would have been completely surrounded by the armed forces.
If that had happened, the consequences would have been unimaginable. What surprised him the most was…
Originally, he had completely given up. Unexpectedly, Gong Jie had taken such a huge risk to rush over to rescue him. Was he not afraid of death? He clearly knew that the flames of war were spreading throughout East Africa, yet he had the gall to drive a jeep right into the Sacred Temple.
"Thank you for this…" The actor still had lingering fears and did not hide his gratitude to Gong JIe.
The man turned to look at him. "For what?"
"Thanks for coming to my rescue."
"Hmph." Gong Jie, on the other hand, became tsundere. "Do you think I came here just to save you?"
"…What else then?"
"If my sister hadn't repeatedly asked me to take good care of you, I wouldn't have bothered."
Hua Jin's grateful smile faded. This man! To think that he had been so touched! He had been feeling so moved by what the man had done, but he did not expect this to be the reason!?
"Besides, what are you thanking me for? If it weren't for the grudge between the Hurricane Group and the Sacred Temple, this wouldn't have happened to you."
"A grudge? Why would the Sacred Temple have a grudge against the Hurricane Group?"
The actor took a few steps forward. "What happened?"
Gong Jie was patient enough to explain the situation to him. "The Sacred Temple's survival is at stake, and they are at their wits' end. Originally, they fled to East Africa in search of a paradise that would be beneficial to the development of the church, quietly secluding themselves from the world. Unexpectedly, a war broke out. Without enough food and abundant military supplies, they were like trapped beasts in East Africa. Therefore, they tried their best to take the hostages of the Hurricane Group's people and use them to threaten the Group."
"Uh…" The actor muttered to himself, "Why does Hurricane make enemies everywhere?"
Gong Jie turned around and said to the actor, "Excuse me?"
"No… nothing…"
In that case, he was the one who had been dragged through the mud? Thinking about Professor Romanka's tragic death, he felt even more fearful. Did people really own their own destinies? Out of the four of them, only Professor Romanka did not escape the calamity.
"Romanka is dead. He was beheaded by those believers."
"I know."
"You do?"
"Yes, the people from the Sacred Temple sent over a video of the beheading a few days ago to provoke the Hurricane Group."
The actor could never have imagined how terrifying this game between the Hurricane Group and the Sacred Temple was. If they had made even one wrong move, the three of them would not have been alive now.
