Chapter 316: Attack the heart first

The remaining people began to verbally attack, clamoring to avenge their brothers.

However, although the remaining people spoke fiercely, their bodies were honest; any talk of life-and-death friendship was fake, let alone avenging the dead Survivors.

An Jintong also noticed this, hiding to the side and mockingly watching the Survivors who were putting on a self-directed show.

She kept thinking about how to take down these people while ensuring her own safety.

She didn’t know if the other party had weapons like firearms that could endanger her life. If it was just cold weapons, it would be fine, but she was afraid the other party would suddenly strike when she wasn’t paying attention.

Now she was in the dark and the other party was in the light, so the advantage was on An Jintong’s side. But if the other party ran away, she would have to actively reveal herself to attack them, and then the positions of both sides would reverse.

An Jintong’s eyes darted around, and another plan formed in her mind.

She quietly picked up a stone and threw it into the distance. An Jintong was preparing to use the same trick again. Although the probability of being exposed was quite high, at this moment, she was gambling on the other party’s reaction speed.

For An Jintong, it might just be as simple as throwing a stone, but for the remaining Survivors, it was not that simple; this one stone already concerned their life and death.

Because he dared not show the slightest slack, fearing any accident that would lead to his death.

Just as this stone landed and made a sound, it stimulated the tense nerves of these Survivors. The person who had been endlessly spewing vulgarities stopped instantly.

Then, someone, unable to bear the pressure, shouted, “Run!”

Thus, his figure was exposed in An Jintong’s line of sight.

The Survivor not far from that person saw him run and couldn’t help but curse him as an idiot. This was clearly a stone thrown by the other party, and he couldn’t even distinguish it; he deserved to die.

Then, An Jintong fulfilled that person’s wish and directly eliminated him.

This wasn’t the main point; the main point was that An Jintong fired three shots at this person in a row.

One must know that ammunition is a very precious resource, and doing so was undoubtedly an extremely wasteful act.

If An Jintong’s marksmanship was poor and she needed three shots to kill this person, that would be understandable. But the problem was that An Jintong had only used two shots to kill two of their side previously.

So, just those two shots were enough to demonstrate An Jintong’s marksmanship.

Therefore, firing three shots in a row couldn’t help but make the other party suspect what An Jintong’s true intention was.

Those Survivors slowly gathered together and began to speculate on An Jintong’s intentions, with someone murmuring softly.

“Is she trying to deliberately waste bullets to lure us in?”

But some also disagreed with this view. He believed that this was the other party deliberately showing them that she had ample ammunition to make them panic, and in reality, after those three shots, she was already out of bullets and supplies.

He was just waiting for them to retreat. Even if the other party still had some bullets, it was clear there weren’t many left.

The other people found this explanation more reasonable, but they all looked at the ‘strategist’ among them, hoping he could offer some advice and insights.

What the strategist thought was actually not much different from what they said, but he thought a deeper layer: perhaps the other party simply had a lot of ammunition and wanted to tell them not to waste their efforts struggling.

However, he wouldn’t voice this conjecture, so he agreed with the latter person’s view, only his advice was not to act rashly.

He understood that the best solution now was to cut losses in time, and a safe retreat was the best choice.

However, although these people thought so in their hearts, even if he said it, they wouldn’t agree. After all, a seven-person team was counter-killed by one woman for three members, and they were scared out of their wits. If this got out, wouldn’t they lose face?

Thus, the current situation was created: wanting to escape, yet unable to let go of their pride. After all, there were still four people, and each of them thought that the next one to die couldn’t possibly be themselves, which also gave An Jintong an opportunity.

At this moment, An Jintong was secretly chuckling. In fact, she did this on purpose. She anticipated that these people would speculate like this, and no matter what the other party thought, they would feel pressure.

Unless the other party was an idiot, because a master can be defeated by a flurry of punches, and an idiot can also restrain an expert.

Simply because an idiot doesn’t overthink; your psychological tactics are completely useless in front of them. The other party might not even understand and just give you a question mark in return.

Indeed, things were developing in the direction An Jintong wanted to see.

In An Jintong’s eyes, the remaining Survivors dared not act rashly. They were afraid An Jintong still had more bullets, and acting rashly would only lead to death.

So she started her stone trick again, but this time the other party seemed to be prepared, and no matter how she threw, it didn’t cause any ripples.

Time passed bit by bit. After An Jintong stopped throwing stones, it was quiet here, with no signs of anyone.

Both sides realized they couldn’t continue to stall like this, but neither of them acted rashly. Now it was a test of who would lose their patience first.

Acting first naturally has its advantages, but it also makes it very easy for others to find weaknesses and counter-kill.

After much consideration, An Jintong decided to take the initiative.

Although she wasn’t sure of the other party’s position, she quietly circled around to the side of the Survivor she had killed and found cover to hide.

Then, she deliberately made a slight noise, using herself as bait.

Sure enough, some of those Survivors fell for it, and one of them couldn’t help but fire in An Jintong’s direction.

This shot exposed their position and also broke the stalemate.

However, this risky move also left An Jintong with an injury to her left arm, but she only lost the use of her left hand; she still had her right hand to use.

Knowing the other party’s position, An Jintong seized the opportunity and quickly approached them.

Those Survivors didn’t expect An Jintong to dare to approach even after being injured, but by the time they realized it, it was already too late.

What they saw was An Jintong, with a gun clenched in her mouth, glaring at them with a ferocious expression. At this moment, the pistol in her right hand continuously fired at them.

Just as the strategist shouted,

“Concentrate fire, suppress her!”

After he finished speaking, a bullet hole appeared in his forehead.

After killing one person, An Jintong used the cover to dodge left and right from the other party’s attacks, but a bullet still grazed her right leg.

Fortunately, it was just a graze, not a gunshot wound.

Then, based on the gunshots, she judged the other party’s position. After the gunshots stopped, she didn’t rush out. Instead, she took out the old clothes from her bag and threw them out.

The next moment, the other party’s bullets pierced through the clothes, and An Jintong took advantage of this opportunity to kill two more people.
