Chapter 197: I Am A Soldier

Yun Qing’s heart tightened. She and Huo Chuan were powerless in this situation. These pirates also had guns. Under such circumstances, they were practically in the hands of these pirates.

Although he had a gun aimed at him, he was not afraid. His deep voice sounded, “We can give you money.”

“Money? Where are you going to get money for us?!”The blond man laughed without restraint. He looked particularly terrifying.

“You help us leave. When the time comes, we can give you as much money as you want,” Yun Qing chimed in.

“What if I say that we don’t want money, but you?” A pirate looked at Yun Qing provocatively with a smile on his face.

Yun Qing’s heart tightened — it seemed that these pirates had their eyes on her.

The group of pirates laughed again. At that moment, Huo Chuan reached out and quickly grabbed the gun. He instantly turned his body sideways and pulled hard. With a sweep of his feet, the blond man fell to the ground.

He nimbly flipped the blond man onto the ground and sat on him. He held the gun with one hand to the back of his head and used the other hand to grab the man’s hands.

In an instant, the situation changed drastically.

The arrogant pirates saw the cold, murderous intent on Huo Chuan’s body and stopped smiling.

Seeing this, Yun Qing immediately helped Huo Chuan to suppress the man on the ground.

“Do you want to die?!” Several guns were raised and aimed at Yun Qing and Huo Chuan.

Huo Chuan’s eyes were cold. He hit the back of the man’s head with the butt of the gun and sneered, “Give us a boat or a helicopter, and I’ll let him go.”

“Impossible!”

Such a request was simply wishful thinking!

What kind of audacity did this man in front of them have to threaten them in such a situation?!

Yun Qing gradually calmed down. She glanced at the men with a cold gaze and said, “I’ve already said it. If you let us go, we’ll give you money.”

“Don’t even think about it!” The pirates were a little angry — they had been pirates for so many years, but these two were trying to threaten them?!

Huo Chuan held the gun in his hand against the back of the blond man’s head. He said, “We drifted to this small island because of the cruise ship sinking. You must know about it by now. We don’t want to have any conflict with you. As long as you are willing to let us go, we will repay you.”

The pirate who held the gun looked at him disdainfully and sneered, “I don’t believe you!”

Judging from the attitude of the pirates, they would not be able to escape this time.

Huo Chuan held his breath and looked to the side. He said to Yun Qing in a low voice, “If bullets start flying, run behind that reef.”

He was speaking in their mothertongue, so the pirates did not understand what they were mumbling about.

Yun Qing followed Huo Chuan’s gaze and saw a huge reef — it was indeed a good hiding place.

“Then, what about you?” Yun Qing was stunned.

Huo Chuan was silent for a moment, and his voice was a little hoarse. “I’m a soldier.”

“Besides, I just want you to live.”

“What are you still talking about?! Why aren’t you shooting?!” The pirate had lost his patience and ordered.

After saying that, Huo Chuan and Yun Qing quickly reacted. They dragged the blond man and had him act as a shield. They crouched over and quickly hid behind the huge reef.

“Bang, Bang, Bang —”

Countless bullets came at them. It was deafening.

The pirate who was treated like human body armor, was shot twice. He screamed in pain while Huo Chuan still worked to protect Yun Qing behind him. From time to time, he would turn around and fire a few shots at the pirates.

His marksmanship was extremely accurate, and each shot struck a pirate.

A few shrill screams sounded. Yun Qing looked at Huo Chuan’s resolute gaze and once again thought of what happened in Europe.

The pirates were angered, and they began to change their strategy. They decided to surround Yun Qing and Huo Chuan and attack from all sides.

Yun Qing listened to the gunshots as they got closer and closer, and a sense of nervousness rose in her heart once again.

Huo Chuan’s expression was as calm as ever, but when he thought of Yun Qing beside him, he was no longer as calm.

He did not want Yun Qing to die just like that.

He would rather die himself.
