Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

street fighting.

The smell of gunpowder and the lingering scent of war permeated the ruins of this old town.

Li Ling sent his own family's men, while Li He, a member of his own family, was stationed here. The two sides went back and forth, but it was clear to the naked eye that Yin Su's side had the upper hand. Kang Xiaodai's forces were caught off guard and were counterattacked. If it weren't for the hostages they still had as a trump card, they would have retreated long ago.

How is this going?

The guys on the other side seemed to have no regard for the hostages they were holding. Even though they knew the people in their hands could easily die here, they still launched a fierce attack, just as if they didn't care about the hostages at all.

They had already lost more than half of their men, but unfortunately, they had also missed the best time to evacuate—damn it, no wonder they were Li Ling's men, they couldn't even keep this little commotion a secret.

Now, the hostages seem to have become a trump card that cannot be revealed.

The hidden cards are intimidating – although this intimidation may not seem to pose a threat to the opposing team at present, it is enough to make them hesitant to act; but once the cards are revealed, the opponent will definitely fight them to the death.

"Take them down to cover our retreat, then we'll withdraw and await reinforcements!"

The leader didn't want to risk his life. The group of men dragged the two half-dead guys away cautiously into the alley behind them, but their actions were seen by the other side.

"Boss, what do we do? They're trying to retreat."

Li He wiped the dust off his gun. The message he had just received was that there was no need to pursue for the time being. They were to investigate any unusual activity in this urban warfare area. Someone else would take over, and all they needed to do was protect Yin Su's safety.

But it didn't say who would take over.

Besides, Li Ling said "one person"—are you kidding me?

"Boss He, we have radar information from the bottom line. A vehicle from the Southwest Local Army is coming." The henchman, keeping watch on the guys outside, raised his hand and fired two shots. "They said there's the enemy's flag up there, and it's not being concealed."

"Local armed forces? Why would they be here?"

Li He was, after all, a member of Li Ling's clan, so he naturally had a general understanding of Yin Su's influence.

—The person standing behind the Southwest Local Army was not Yin Su, but the Jinbian Shuangkou. The two forces had always kept to themselves and had not had much interaction. Why would they come now? Not concealing their identities meant revealing their identities to others.

Are these Kang Xiong's reinforcements?

Before he could figure out the relationship between these things, he heard a sharp scream from outside.

Sudden changes occur.

There seemed to be a battle ahead; the sounds of gunfire and grenades suddenly rang out. Li He quickly ordered his men to throw smoke grenades from a distance to confuse the enemy.

In the darkness, a white-gray smoke bomb exploded and rose again, carrying with it a cloud of blood.

Li He was horrified and hurriedly ordered his men to move back, only to find that the enemy's battlefield had not spread to this side, but had instead shifted to the local army's side.

Are the people who came to meet us from Shuangkou?

On the other side, Bo Bing did not linger in the fight, after all, his main purpose was not to kill, but to save people.

The young man pulled up his hoodie hood, a black mask protecting his respiratory system. With his eyes closed, he carried an unconscious middle-aged man in one hand and was running at an incredible speed towards the route indicated by the system. The [Mind's Eye] mode brought by the [Speed ​​of Life and Death] skill allowed him to move freely through the smoke.

The Southwest Local Army could be considered a local armed force supported by Shuangkou, and was one of Shuangkou's forces. Bo Bing sent Lü Shuang to avoid Yin Su's surveillance and to send the person away.

Lu Shuang was no pushover either. Many years ago, her subordinates who wanted to rebel had already been buried with the Lu family's few power-grabbing sons. Lu Shuang's rule was at its zenith, and she didn't even need to personally mobilize any troops.

As soon as Bo Bing appeared, everyone on the other side raised their guns and went on alert. However, the squad leader, Uso, raised his hand to stop them. He had rough, dark skin and a large, gleaming gold tooth hanging in his mouth.

"Who are you? Hands up!"

Speaking in broken Mandarin and accented English, Wu Suo asked twice.

“I am a Sand Serpent mercenary, Medusa,” Bo Bing said, his eyes still closed as he raised his hand, tears welling in his eyes. “This is the person Lü Shuang wants. Take him away and treat him properly.”

After saying that, he was ready to leave.

"stop!"

Bo Bing turned her head. "Is there anything else?"

"I'm sorry, but you have to come back with us to report."

The person opposite him stared at him and shouted through a megaphone, "Otherwise, we won't be able to explain to the boss."

“Tell your boss my name, and the higher-ups won’t make things difficult for you,” Bo Bing thought to herself, her mind racing. “I have other matters to attend to, so I must take my leave.”

After saying that, the man threw the two unconscious men aside, and the green smoke grenade exploded. He then turned around, slipped behind cover, and disappeared into the night.

"Chief, what should we do?"

"Go back and report. The higher-ups said these two guys can't die," Uso said, hanging his pistol on his waist and ordering his men to pull the men into the vehicle for basic field medical care.

"It's better to avoid trouble. We'll just get these two guys. There's no point in making a big fuss and bringing back mercenaries to claim credit. Besides, that guy is one of the Sand Snakes, so we can't touch him."

"Sand Snake mercenaries, that's not Shuangkou's intelligence organization..."

"Watch your words," Wu Suo said, taking a drag of his cigarette and glancing around at the expressions of the people around him. "What happens up there is none of our business."

Their only responsibility is to complete tasks and claim credit.
