Special District 9 Chapter 125: Brothers Without Blood Ties

On the way over to where the alley was, the young man carrying a long sack on his back replied deeply, “We’re still finding the location. We can’t lock down on the exact position yet.”

“How long more before you arrive at the destination?”

“One minute more.”

“Fuck you! My little brother would have died eight hundred times in a minute’s time!” the young man on the passenger seat roared. “There’s no need to pick the ideal position. Just find a place where you can put your rifle down!”

“Understood.”

…

Behind the boulder.

Qin Yu felt himself losing all sensations in his upper body. He couldn’t even feel pain anymore. His eyes were losing light, and there was an annoying ringing sound in his ears.

Old Cat pushed him forcefully as he urged, “Get up, let’s head toward the hill.”

Qin Yu stared at Old Cat blankly for a moment before he sat up and shouted, “Little Qi, I… I’m going to die soon. The person who killed me is Songjiang’s Yuan Hua!”

Upon hearing those words, Old Cat felt a lump in his throat as he wiped away the tears in his eyes. “Don’t talk nonsense! You won’t die!”

Right after saying those words, Old Cat immediately bent down to carry Qin Yu up. However, the latter had a huge physique, and he was unable to summon any strength at all. As a result, Old Cat was unable to support him properly at all.

At the foot of the hill.

Old Ma noticed that Old Cat and the others had been holing themselves behind a boulder, so he quickly rushed back to help them.

At the same time, footsteps sounded ahead as Baldie led his men forward to the boulder as well. His men fired their guns relentlessly at the boulder, causing small dents and sparks to appear all around the boulder.

“Charge!” Baldie shouted as four of his men quickly approached the boulder from the sides.

“Those bastards!”

Old Ma suddenly leaped out of the boulder with a dagger in his left hand. From a lowered crouching position, he stabbed it up toward the nearest approaching enemy. At the same time, the enemy who was about to get stabbed quickly lowered his gun to fire at Old Ma.

Bang!

The bullet brushed across Old Ma’s waist whereas Old Ma’s dagger quickly plunged right into the enemy’s armpit.

Puchi!

The abrupt burst of pain caused the enemy to drop his gun to the ground.

At the same time, the other three men immediately began firing.

Bang bang!

Old Ma suffered shots in his left ribcage, but despite so, he still gritted his teeth, picked up the enemy’s gun, and quickly fired back.

After an intense exchange of bullets, the three men who had barely charged up were immediately pushed back. On the other hand, Old Ma leaned against the boulder as he wheezed to catch his breath. He glared at the two hiding behind the boulder and roared, “Old Cat, if the two of you still want to survive, run to the hill right now!”

“We’ll go together!”

“I have never thought of getting out of here!” Old Ma bellowed. “Run straight ahead and don’t turn around. Now!”

Old Cat stared at Old Ma for a moment. Then, he wrapped his hands around Qin Yu’s body, and with all of the strength he had summoned, he dragged the latter toward the hill.

“What the hell are you all doing? You can’t even deal with an old man? Charge forward!” Yuan Hua growled infuriatingly.

The enemies began charging ahead once more.

At the foot of the hill, behind a tree, two young men crouched down on the snowy ground. The man on the left took out a monocular and reported, “Straight ahead, 6 o’clock. Thirty meters above ground level, behind the boulder.”

The man on the right quickly took out his sniper rifle from the cloth bag as he got into a one knee squat position and stabilized his rifle on top of his knee.

The man on the left immediately shouted, “Sniper in position!”

“Sniper, fire! Get rid of the pursuers!” the man on the passenger seat, Little Qi, shouted through the walkie-talkie.

Peng!

It was a loud fire as the bullet zapped across the air.

Pu!

Gudong!

The man at the forefront of the group fell to the ground. The bullet had pierced right through his head.

Weng weng!

At the same time, the sound of an engine whirred from the left side of the alley. A fortified jeep that had its wheels and fender modified charged straight into the crowd.

The enemies who were running up the hill heard the commotion behind, and they immediately turned around and fired at the jeep.

However, despite a rain of bullets falling on it, the jeep still remained completely unharmed. It eventually stopped behind the crowd. Two machine guns popped out from the window on the left and fired right at the crowd.

Da da da da!

Under the sudden, overwhelming firepower, many of Yuan Hua’s men collapsed on the spot. At the same time, the dirt and snow on the slope began dancing around as a result of the bullets flying through.

“Take cover!” Baldie shouted as he immediately ran over to Yuan Hua’s side to protect him.

On the slope, Old Cat made use of this chance to pull Qin Yu behind a tree. While catching his breath, he asked, “W-who… hah… are they?”

“They are the ones who helped me get into Special District 9…!” Qin Yu said with his eyes closed. “He’s my non blood-related brother.”

Old Cat was a little surprised. “I thought Qi Lin came over to fetch us.”

“He’s too far away from us, and he has no one by his side too… He wouldn’t be able to do anything if he came…” Qin Yu replied feebly as his consciousness gradually grew fuzzy.

Behind the boulder, Old Ma, who had used his life to buy some time for Old Cat and Qin Yu earlier, had finished using up his bullets, and as a result of that, he was trapped there, unable to move at all.

At the midpoint of the hill.

The spotter beside the sniper looked through the monocular and reported, “The one injured has gotten away, but there’s still another one behind the boulder. Are we saving him?”

“Save him!” Little Qi replied decisively.

“Sniper, cover the man behind the boulder!” the spotter instructed.

The sniper swiftly took aim and fired at those around the boulder. He fired a total of three times, and three men were downed.

As Baldie protected Yuan Hua, he tried to pull the latter away as he shouted, “Stop fighting, we need to retreat!”

“Fuck that! I have already put everything on the line for this, so where can we retreat to?” the red-eyed Yuan Hua pushed Baldie aside as he shrieked. “We need to get a hold on Old Ma so that we can get Xing Zihao back!”

“Don’t you think it’s weird that Xing Zihao still hasn’t appeared yet?! Listen to me…!” Baldie shouted anxiously.

“Get lost!” Yuan Hua pushed Baldie aside as he fired three shots toward the boulder. “Get Old Ma!”

Baldie gritted his teeth in frustration before pushing Yuan Hua back, saying, “Fine! You want him, I’ll get him for you!”

After that, Baldie immediately led a group of men toward the boulder once more.

Bang bang!

At the midpoint of the hill.

The spotter said helplessly, “The enemy is putting their life on the line and charging toward the boulder. Our firepower is limited. We won’t be able to secure the person hiding behind the boulder!”

Little Qi was silent for a moment before he instructed, “Retreat! Protect my little brother’s way up the hill!”

“What about you?” the spotter asked.

Little Qi immediately replied, “Didn’t you hear my little brother’s voice earlier?”

The spotter was stunned.

“There’s no guarantee that Qin Yu will be able to live,” Little Qi spat with a frosty voice. “I won’t be retreating. I’ll exact vengeance for him first.”

“You are fucking insane!” the spotter bellowed furiously. “Once the enemy gets into the forest, you won’t be able to use the advantage of the jeep anymore. There are only four of you there, how are you going to exact vengeance? We don’t have the numerical advantage to suppress them in a close-range fight… We might just all die here!”

“They’re all fucktards. I’ll quickly kill Yuan Hua and retreat!” Little Qi shouted back. “Sniper and spotter, remain in position. If I get surrounded, retreat immediately!”

“Little Qi, are you dumb? We have already done all that we could! Is there a need to take on this risk?” The people in the jeep were also shouting at him.

“Screw this! I’m not doing this for the money but to take revenge for my little brother!” Little Qi roared imposingly. He picked up his gun before shouting at the driver, “Head straight ahead and charge toward the crowd going up the slope! Number Four, observe carefully who’s the leader of their group.”

Hearing the command, the driver immediately began driving up the slope.

At the same time, Number Four began looking out of the car window to observe the crowd around.

Baldie and the rest had already secured Old Ma, and they were charging into the forest with Yuan Hua at the center of their group.

“Turn on the headlights!” Number Four shouted. “And the ceiling light too!”

The driver immediately did as he was told as he drove the jeep up the slope, straight into the crowd.

Yuan Hua turned around to take a look, and he was immediately blinded by the car lights. He instinctively covered his face as he exclaimed in shock, “That car is still chasing after us?”

“Lower the anti-skid chains and accelerate!” Little Qi ordered from the car.
