4477 The Other Side 446

"At a time like this, you worry about scars?!" With a look of exasperation, Gong Jie shifted into gear and stepped on the accelerator, knocking Hua Jin, who was staggering to his feet, back to the ground.

The car sped off.

The actor stared fearfully at the three bodies left behind.

"Is there enough gas in the car?"

"Not much, but it should be enough to drive 20 kilometers."

"Oh, that's good." Hua Jin finally calmed down a little.

"You said you knew how to use a gun, right?" Gong Jie tossed him a rifle as he spoke.

"When I tell you to shoot, aim a few rounds at the ground."

If there were landmines, they would be detonated in advance. This was the last resort in an emergency to detonate bombs.

Hua Jin held his gun tightly and hesitated. "Do you have enough bullets?"

"Only a hundred or two."

"Then… should we save them up?"

"I don't know if we'll encounter enemies later on, but it won't be worth it if we were to save these bullets and the car gets blown up by landmines."

"Oh… I understand."

Following Gong Jie's instructions the actor discharged the bullets.

Indeed, just as Gong Jie had expected, he could tell at a glance if there were any signs of soil being churned along the way. At his command, the actor fired a few rounds at the area.

It worked every time. They indeed eliminated a few of these landmine ambush areas.

After leaving the plains, they soon came near the coast. They drove south along the coastal road and successfully arrived at the port.

Only, the road by the coast was badly damaged. Driving on that road became a struggle and they had no choice but to slow down.

Soon, it was evening. At dusk, the sea and the sky met at the horizon. But at this moment, Hua Jin did not dare to let down his guard to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The closer they got to their destination, the more nervous he became.

The wound on his neck had not been treated so now, blood covered half of his body and dyed his clothes red.

Gong Jie had taken a look at it earlier and was thankful that the aorta was not injured in any way.

However, Hua Jin was already covered in wounds. Previously, he had been whipped and tied up. There were deep ligature marks on his wrists. Coupled with the lack of sufficient supplies along the way, he was already on the verge of collapse. He was relying on his willpower to stay conscious. The actor clung on to his gun, his face pale.

Gong Jie assured him, "Soon. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be there soon!"

"Uh huh…"

"Hang in there, huh?"

The actor nodded solemnly, feeling a little dizzy. His eardrums were already damaged, and the wind was so loud that it almost drowned out Gong Jie's voice. However, he knew what the man was saying. He was asking him to persevere.

At the same time, the men sent by Vermilion Bird were also speeding towards Gong Jie to provide support.

The two parties finally met up five kilometers away from the port. Vermilion Bird was also in the car.

She got out of the car excitedly when she saw Gong Jie's car. "That's great! Young Master Jie, are you alright?"

"I'm fine!" The man pulled to a stop. By then, the actor had already collapsed in his seat, delirious.

He opened the car door and nimbly carried the actor out of the car. At this point, Hua Jin was so weak that he could not walk.

Vermilion Bird walked over and said, "Let me do it! I'll load him into the car!"

"Alright."

Vermilion Bird walked over and was about to take Hua Jin from Gong Jie when the actor subconsciously tightened his grip on the latter's bulletproof vest.

"Gong Jie…"
