The pursuers in the off-road vehicles weren't from the Shama tribe, but the Huta ard organization that had recently been driven into the deep mountains by the Federation governnt forces.
Dense gunfire accompanied the roar of the off-road vehicles' engines as they charged forward, attempting to shatter both the physical and psychological defenses of their prey ahead.
Fortunately, Shen Han had made them turn around in ti earlier. Now, with a 3-kiloter distance between them, the Huta mbers leaning half their bodies out of the car windows to shoot could at best only achieve an intimidating effect.
The withered old man from the Qubi tribe was also a tough character.
He cursed loudly while driving the walking tractor at breakneck speed.
Shen Han, while ducking her head to assign tasks to everyone, nearly bit her tongue several tis.
The tractor roared as it charged towards the forest.
After disembarking, Shen Han, carrying a musket on her back, ran off alone to one side.
The remaining eight people retreated as a unit.
Those who could shoot fired while retreating, while the rest helped scout the path and monitor the enemy's movents.
Ashi led several young n, moving and shooting according to the thod Shen Han had just taught them.
Their anger now far outweighed their fear of death.
Because the Shama tribe had broken their promise and even colluded with the bandits everyone hated.
These bandits had always been known for their brutality. Just four or five years ago, they had massacred a small tribe.
They had beheaded all the Alphas and Betas in the tribe, piling the heads at the feet of the deity's stone statue.
The Ogas of the small tribe were tied by their wrists with ropes and dragged away like cattle.
Before they had gone even 5 li, four or five had already been tortured to death.
Ashi and the others were still young at the ti. They had gone with the Qubi tribe's warriors to investigate afterward.
Looking at the bodies strewn about, half-eaten by wild beasts, they all couldn't help but cry and vomit simultaneously.
Ashi would never forget that hellish scene for the rest of his life.
As the Qubi tribespeople were retreating, a burst of bullets ca, hitting one young man's ankle and grazing off half of Ashi's ear.
Being shot in the leg at a ti like this wasn't much different from waiting to die.
Ashi's eyes were bloodshot. He rushed in a few steps to his tribal brother's side, half-kneeling on the ground, then fired forward.
Just as Ashi and his companion were thinking they'd at least take a bite out of the enemy before they died, two consecutive gunshots rang out from the side of the dense forest.
These were sounds distinct from the Huta bandits' submachine guns.
Perhaps because the location of these gunshots was too strange, many Huta mbers suddenly turned their guns towards that dense forest on their right.
Then, they discovered two of their companions were missing from the rightmost part of the encirclent.
"There's a straggler over there, three of you go! Bring
that person's ears!"
The Huta captain shouted loudly.
He had originally wanted to have the person's head brought to him, but considering that his mission this ti was to kill the Qubi tribe's High Priest, he changed it to just the ears at the last mont.
Because cutting off a head would take more ti.
Three Huta mbers responded and charged towards the right, while the Huta captain led the remaining seven to continue forward.
But before they had gone 5 ters, screams from their companions ca from behind and to the right.
Shen Han lay prone next to the body of the first man killed.
The stock of the submachine gun was steadily braced against her shoulder blade. Two three-round bursts pierced the throats of two pursuers.
She wasn't sure if they were wearing bulletproof vests under their thick cotton jackets, nor would she show any rcy to her enemies.
So each shot aid for the Huta mbers' necks or heads.
The remaining pursuer quickly crouched down, hiding most of his body behind a tree.
He shouted loudly for support while twisting his submachine gun sideways, firing wildly in the direction of the target.
But at this mont, how could Shen Han still be waiting in her original position to be surrounded?
After killing two bandits, she had already silently changed her position.
Switching to single-shot mode, finding a good angle, she pulled the trigger on the still shouting bandit.
The bullet spun into the bandit's temple, spraying red and staining the tree bark.
After the bandit fell, there was no more movent.
The rapid reduction of the Huta team seed to bring a mont of silence to the entire forest.
The Huta captain suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
He began to quickly calculate in his mind the number of shots fired by the opponent.
The other side had fired five tis in total, and five of his n had died!
Such a terrifying hit rate made cold sweat instantly break out on his back.
He felt that if they didn't find and kill that sharpshooter hiding in the shadows first, his remaining seven n would have no way of making it out of this forest alive.
"Contract the team, forget about those Qubi tribespeople now, quickly form a tactical squad and follow
to assault!"
It must be said that this man's ability to beco a team leader showed in his decent judgnt.
But his reaction wasn't as quick as Shen Han's, and his team mbers couldn't execute orders as strictly as a regular army.
After his shout, only three people ducked their heads and moved towards him.
The other three remained hidden behind cover, not daring to move.
Shen Han certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Between eliminating two soldiers or one captain, she decisively chose the latter.
A bullet passed through a yellow leaf falling in mid-air.
It entered the side of the Huta captain's head as he was using one of his teammates as cover.
The three mbers who had just moved towards their captain were so nervous their legs were shaking.
Since joining the Huta ard organization, each of them had blood on their hands.
They had engaged in real firefights with Federation governnt troops on the battlefield.
They thought they had long since discarded the emotion of fear.
But at this mont, when that invisible scythe of death was pressed against their necks,
They realized that it wasn't that they no longer had fear, but that before this, the person who could make them feel fear hadn't appeared.
The remaining six Huta mbers began to flee towards the edge of the forest.
From this mont on, the roles of hunter and prey had silently reversed.
In the distance, the High Priest, Su Mu, Ashi, and the others, watching the fleeing figures ahead shouting as they ran for their lives, all felt unprecedented astonishnt.
Su Mu's eyes were fixed straight ahead, she couldn't even see the figure of the Alpha called Shen Han.
But with each gunshot, a Huta bandit would fall with a wail.
In the end, this one-sided pursuit ended very quickly. In less than 5 minutes, the vast forest had fallen completely silent.
Su Mu and the High Priest's group regathered.
The sll of blood and gunpowder still lingered in the air, but they felt as if they were in a dream.
After a good while, the withered old man who had driven the tractor earlier finally asked in a small voice, "Should we go help?"
The High Priest glanced at him, then ordered two young n to go collect all the bandits' guns.
"Don't waste ti, we need to leave quickly. If another batch of people co after us, we really won't be able to escape."
Shen Han, with two guns slung across her back, suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
She looked at the Qubi tribespeople standing there and waved her hand: "Walking is too slow, let's take their off-road vehicles back!"
The group quickly arrived at the edge of the dense forest.
After confirming it was safe, Shen Han led several people to run out quickly.
The withered old man's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the off-road vehicles.
He ran while looking eagerly at Shen Han: "Can I drive one with you?"
Shen Han, who had already reached the car door, turned her head to ask the old man: "Do you know how to drive?"
"Of course! I'm the only one in our tribe with driving experience!"
The old man happily opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, then he was stunned.
Shen Han had just started her vehicle when she heard the withered old man anxiously shouting from inside the car: "Why is this round? Where do I hold onto?"
Shen Han: "......"
In the end, nine people cramd into one off-road vehicle.
Except for the main driver's door where Shen Han sat, which was closed, all other doors were half-open to allow those sitting by the doors to extend their limbs slightly outside.
Shen Han drove this severely overloaded off-road vehicle, and each ti she observed through the rearview mirror, she felt like she was watching people riding on top of trains in India back on the Blue Water Planet.
Back at the Qubi tribe, Ashi and the other injured tribesman were imdiately carried away to have dicine applied.
The High Priest, looking at the blood and dirt sticking to Shen Han's body, finally thought to ask if she was injured.
Shen Han raised her elbow to look: "Just so scrapes, nothing serious."
After saying this, she stared into the High Priest's eyes and said: "Given the current situation, it seems the Shama tribe has already sided with the Huta organization. I sincerely hope you can agree to cooperate with our Federation governnt forces, for the peace of Mount Zhixing, and for your own tribespeople."
The High Priest sighed lightly.
In this situation, he really had no choice.
In fact, the fact that a carload of them had survived today was entirely due to luck.
To be precise, it was due to the Alpha before him.
"Alright! Go apply so dicine and change your clothes first, then we'll discuss how to get your people here quickly to station in our area. The Huta bandits didn't succeed today, they'll likely attack soon."
Hearing the High Priest's words, Shen Han lightly coughed into her half-clenched fist.
Then she crouched down and took a button-sized tal object from the sole of her shoe.
As she twisted it, the small tal button imdiately began flashing red.
At the sa mont, at the Federation governnt military camp several mountains away, the intelligent system imdiately detected the signal.
Instructor Liu waved his hand, and along with another military officer, imdiately set out with their units!
In the tribe.
The High Priest asked with bulging eyes: "What is this?"
Shen Han smiled shyly: "This is sothing that will bring my people here as quickly as possible."
