The three people continued to enter the forest, breaking through shrubs and land filled with dried leaves and twigs. The crunching sound of branches breaking from being trampled became the only sound that chimed in the rattles of crickets and other night beasts.
When Keiko was almost out of breath because he kept running, suddenly Hiro's steps slowed down and entered the path that seemed to have been commonly passed.
“We are almost there,” Hiro said while pointing forward.
About 200 meters in front of there, faintly seen the shadow of a wooden hut standing in the middle of a large field. Under the dim moonlight that shone dimly in the night sky, the building looked big but also a little creepy. Next to the cottage was a building that looked like a barn ... or a garage, or a stables? I don't know, the picture isn't clear enough from Keiko's perspective.
“That hunting lodge. We ... sssh, don't move.” Hiro stopped his steps suddenly and took refuge behind a tree. His hands twitched, gesturing for Andrew and Keiko to do the same.
From behind the hut near the log cabin, there was a beam of light shining to and fro. Soon, two human shadows appeared from there, scattering to the left and right sides while continuing to highlight the forest with a flashlight in their hands.
“Somehow they got here,” murmured Hiro slowly.
“It seems they are besieging from all sides, not just attacking your house,” Andrew timpal while watching the people who are still searching in the dark ahead there, “If they do not leave, then look for those who are still searching in the dark, looks like we have to fight them.”
“Ryuchi damn it, I should have killed him while I had the chance,” umpat Hiro annoyed. Had he known from the beginning everything would have been like this, he certainly would not have given the man a chance to live quietly.
Hiro sighed one-on-one while frowning. It seemed like running a considerable distance left his wounds torn back. The warm liquid that had just seeped from his clothes and wet his hands now felt cold.
After the roar of his breathing had been more regular, Hiro opened his mouth and said, “There is a helicopter there. I wore it to come here yesterday. We can wear it to get out of this place, but it might not be able to reach a long distance. The fuel is not yet filled.”
“It's okay. We can go to my runway and take a jet from there. I've sent a message to my men and told them to get ready,” Andrew replied.
“Good. Now we just need to get to that cottage without getting caught.”
Cracks!
The sound of a twig being stepped on made the body as the person stiffened. Andrew pulled Keiko's hand to crouch down while circulating the gaze vigilantly. From their left, they saw a flashlight dancing like a giant firefly ready to reveal their existence. Apparently one of those people came from the other side and almost reached the location they were in.
Andrew immediately put the metal case on the ground and opened it. He took a serrated dagger from the box and held it steadily. After closing back the box, he handed his mini gun to Hiro and said, “The sound of gunfire will trigger those people to come here more and more. So use only if really in a desperate situation.”
“I understand,” Hiro said as he leaned against the tree tree. He received the weapon and slipped it behind his back.
“Wait here,” Andrew said to Keiko, “You better open that belt just in case.”
Keiko nodded obediently and replied, “Good. You beware.”
Andrew kept his head down and stepped slowly to the other side of the tree, circling the flashlight-holding man who was getting closer to Hiro and Keiko.
Andrew continued to walk carefully, hiding behind the trees whenever a flashlight shot towards him. Then, when he found a not too big tree with many branches and twigs, he stopped and looked up. His eyes flashed, then his body moved swiftly in the darkness.
Apparently, the flashlight holder began to suspect. He turned his footsteps towards the tree where Andrew was sheltering. With great care, he stepped forward. His hands were pointed straight ahead with a cautious attitude.
Now from a close distance, Andrew could see clearly that what was in the man's grasp was no ordinary flashlight, but a tactical weapon in the form of a semi-automatic long-barreled rifle equipped with floodlights at the end.
Bugh!
“Umph!”
Andrew wrapped his legs around the man's waist, locking and slamming him to the ground. In almost the same movement, he smothered the man's mouth with his left hand while pulling out the dagger he had just struck with his right hand. A split second later, he made a horizontal movement in front of the man's neck.
Blood spurted everywhere, partly drenching Andrew's hand, which was still pressing down on the dagger behind his victim's head.
Unable to give a fight, the body of the man who was ambushed Andrew jolted with glaring eyes. His feet kicked in any direction until the dry leaves were blown into the air. Instantly the scent of rancid in the air, mixed with the musty smell of rotten leaves that lifted due to the struggle on the ground.
Moments later, the pellet-headed man's body stopped moving. His eyes were still wide open, emitting a glare of shock and horror as the soul detached from its body.
Andrew rolled over and was about to take the dead man's gun. However, as he looked up, a beam of light instantly shone on his face, making him cross his arms in front of the face to block the light that hurt his eyes.
“Do not move!” the male command was about three steps ahead of Andrew in Japanese. He took the communication device from behind his suit and pressed the on button.
“Report. I—“
Crash it!
Brucks.
The man's head rolled on the ground before he could finish his words. The head piece stopped when it hit the body of his partner who was bathed in blood. Shortly after, his body that was still upright was seen dazed for a moment before falling to the ground.
