《My Nightclub Landlady》Chapter 1 Jungle Battle
Advertisement
In the dense tropical forests of the Golden Triangle, green trees towered towards the sky providing shade from the sun.
It is here that Qin Feng and his "Golden Quad" members: Xiao He, Green Snake, and Green Dragon had been surrounded by mercenaries of the Golden Triangle’s drug traffickers for six days.
They had run out of ammunition, were scarred, and sensor signals were long gone, leaving them unable to communicate with China.
They now found themselves in a desperate situation, faced with hundreds of mercenaries doing a thorough search of the area. They were exhausted and it was possible that they couldn’t persist much longer.
Whoosh.
Qin Feng leaned up against a towering tree, slicing a python that had climbed on the branch. He grasped the snake’s body that was still moving around, pulled it with one hand to skin it, and put the bloody snake meat directly into its mouth. "Damn, that’s sweet," he said.
Green Snake was the only woman in the four-person group. She had suffered a severe ankle sprain in battle, which had been dragging down the team's breakout speed for days. "They'll definitely surround us from both sides at some point. I'll hold them down, and you can all escape. The mountain pass located to our 4:00 is an opportunity to cross the Stanb River, where you could all drift towards the Chinese border.
"No, no one will be left behind. Everyone walk together. We are not only brothers that live and die together, we are also soldiers of the Republic. Tossing my friends aside? I’d rather die!" Said Qin Feng.
"Agreed. “
Green Dragon and Xiao He rushed to answer.
Thump, thump, thump, followed by the sound of a twig snapping.
At that very moment, they heard the faint sound of footsteps in the distance. The four of them looked at each other anxiously and entered their respective battle positions.
They soon saw a drug lord mercenary group composed of retired special combat troops from around the world burst in with a submachine gun. The one leading the way was a one-eyed man with a particularly sensitive sense of smell. Once they were about ten meters away from Qin Feng, with the wave of an arm, the team suddenly stopped, "They are in the vicinity, spread the net, parallel forward."
Close, closer⋯
Qin feng hid in the high branches with the help of the thick leaves that were providing cover and fiercely thrust a dart at the enemy. The One-eyed dragon had a sharp response and rolled to the side, barely escaping death.
However, the four or five people next to him were not so lucky. Darts landed in between their eyebrows, they were dead on the spot.
Dozens of submachine guns fired towards Qin Feng’s position, but he was long gone. The speed at which he moved was so fast, that over the past few days the invincible mercenary team had suffered several losses.

Just then, a black shadow appeared on the fallen leaves in front of them. The shadow took the appearance of a massive rabbit holding a double-edged weapon, flying towards the enemy. With a speed the naked eye is unable to see, he slashed away at the arteries of 78 people. Blood spattered everywhere, the scene was a terrible sight. Two submachine guns were picked up with the same speed as the wind, as he disappeared into the dense forest. The one-eyed dragon holding a gun fired a line of bullets through the area, but only managed to hit a tree trunk and the air around it. This shadow was Xiao He, whose weapon of choice were two knives, completely untraceable.
The injured mercenaries panicked, shooting around with the submachine guns, but even the shadow had disappeared.
The one-eyed dragon shouted and rebuked, "What are you all getting nervous about? Keep searching!"
Just then, along their flank, two thick tree trunks flew over them and crashed into the crowd of mercenaries.
The mercenaries scattered and focused all their attention on their flank, but did not expect the two people that suddenly appeared holding their own submachine guns, mowing them down mercilessly. The Golden Quad didn’t love war, but they were damn good at it. They ran away after every last one in that squadron had been left a bloodied mess on the floor. Green Dragon carried Green Snake into the dense forest, she fired off to her sides with precision shooting, even while retreating she still managed to kill three of the mercenaries.
It was with these tactics comprised of the elements of surprise, concealment, evasion, and rapid transformation that they had been dealing with the drug lord mercenary regiment for several days. They continued climbing along the valley, the one-eyed dragon being no fool, gave the situation some thought. He came to the realization that the direction of Qin Feng’s escape must be the Stanb River.
He arranged an early detour, prepared to ambush them on both sides of the river, and waited for an opportunity.
The big army continued to pursue them, since it was an uphill road and they had to take turns carrying Green Snake, their speed slowed once again.
Qin Feng and Xiao He successively brought up the rear. The one-eyed dragon would not let them leave with the topographic map of the drug lord’s nest. He set up and used his portable charge gun with hopes of stopping them. The one-eyed dragon who had grown up with this kind of artillery was very proficient in the use of high powered artillery guidance, though the first shots missed. Charge guns were very lethal, if they didn’t act quickly, they may very well end up dead.
"We can’t go on like this, we must find a way to defeat the one-eyed dragon."

Qin Feng said.
"I'll go."
Xiao He left his words echoing behind him as he began gliding down the hillside, but was promptly caught by Qin Feng, "I’ll go. Didn't you apply for family leave to go back to Tianhe so you could see your sister next week? I’ve got no attachments left. Let me go."
"But... "
Xiao He hesitated, but Qin Feng rushed down.
Both of them knew that in the face of adversity and the bombardment of hundreds of mercenaries and charge guns, it would be difficult to complete their mission, which had already been reduced to a ten percent chance of survival.
Qin Feng only had 20 rounds of bullets and he had to put them to good use. In order to maintain a 100% accuracy rate, he must place himself closer to the enemy.
There were thorns all over the place and the brush was too dense. So basically, the enemy was shooting aimlessly and Qin Feng could only rely on the sound of the gunshots to shoot back.
Bang, bang, bang.
He fired a few shots, all of which hit the enemy in the chest or eyebrows. Then, hiding among the ranks in the middle of the squadron, he finally saw the one-eyed dragon.
He had a few anti-charge gun troopers ready nearby. Qin Feng leaned behind a tree, aimed and shot. The gunners around the one-eyed dragon immediately fell to the ground. He saw Qin Feng’s position, "Quickly, look at your 3:00, initiate intensive shelling in that direction. All machine guns, sweep the area! "
Qin Feng instinctually changed his position, but his body jerked, stepped into a pit and sprained his ankle.
“Damn.”
The gunfire blasted in his direction as he limped along with his wounded leg. His injury slowed him down enough that he ended up completely exposed to the sight of the one-eyed dragon, "Everyone, 80 meters ahead, at your 2:00!"
Boom! Prrraatatatatat!
Bullets rained down towards Qin feng. He was a step too slow, his calf was shot, body was hit, and he almost fell down the hillside.
"Hurry, move up, he's hit!"
The one-eyed dragon saw the shots hit their mark and shouted excitedly, "Take him alive!"
Qin Feng saw hundreds of people rushing towards him in a frenzy. He struggled to stand but could not continue. With his left leg shot and right foot sprained, it was difficult for him to escape.
Fortunately, Xiao He should have entered the river safely by now.
It was at that moment that Qin Feng felt his demise nearing. His life was about to come to a glorious end.
As he sat there, he thought to himself, “After several years in the army, I had a military career that includes over a hundred battles. I have seen anything and everything on and off the battlefield. I have been lucky enough to get out of dangerous situations every single time. But today, it seems that God will not favor me.”
He simply sat on the ground, set his weapons aside, and took out his last grenade. He waited for the enemy to arrive so he his last act would amount to a magnificent explosion.
The One-eyed dragon's proud face could be seen clearly. Qin Feng had one last remaining bullet.
He’s close. About 30 meters away.
Just as he was about to raise his gun and take aim, a strong arm came up from behind and pulled him up with one swoop, "Go! I’ve got this! Hurry! "
Xiao He's appearance forced Qin Feng to wake up as if this had all a dream.
The two men continued to fight and retreated, Xiao He hit several enemies in the head in succession. Forcing the enemy to hold their position once again.
At last they reached the top of the hill, and they all saw the stormy Stanb river below the hillside.
"Captain Qin, we certainly can't go together. I’ll hold the high ground and hold their position. You hurry and find Green Dragon and meet with him."
Xiao He tightly grasped Qin Feng's arm, grit his teeth and said, "You must escape! The people of the Republic are waiting for you."
"No! Let's go! "
Qin Feng shouted loudly.
"You know better than I do that we can't walk away together. You're the captain. You must live."
Xiao He hugged Qin Feng, "Promise me one thing! Promise me!"
"Anything, just say it!"
“My sister, that's my only relative. Take care of her for me."
When the last word had been spoken, a blast from a charge gun hit directly overhead. Xiao He saw it and immediately pushed Qin Feng aside. Qin Feng flew down the hillside and even though Xiao He tried his best to dodge, shrapnel still hit him in the leg. He half knelt on the ground, looking at Qin feng sliding toward the river, "Qin Feng, I accidentally found that there was a spy in the upper ranks of the military! You must seek him out. Find the mole, and restore the purity and sanctity of our army!"
With this as his last words, Xiao He dragged his wounded leg to assist the others. He wanted to hit the enemies with his last bullet, and exhausted all his strength with the enemy, until he closed eyes.
Qin Feng had just rolled into the river, only to find that the Green Dragon and the Green Snake were also struggling against an ambushing enemy. He picked up the only hand grenade in his possession and threw it directly overhead. A thundering noise echoed over the river and under the fog of the explosion, he pulled Green Dragon and Green Snake into the water.
