170: Speed ​​of Life

"Then let them come." Si Nan gritted her teeth. Just as she finished speaking, the roar of rotors suddenly came from overhead. Dozens of helicopters flew low in formation, the draft from their blades whipping up the surrounding wind and snow, filling the air.

Suddenly, Yunshu Mountain Villa was enveloped in a mist of snow, obstructing vision. Ma Bufan and Xiao Ning ahead were instantly obscured.

Si Nan fixed her direction and charged forward desperately, shouting at the two figures ahead, "The enemy is here! Stay calm and run toward the back gate as fast as you can! Get into the Sky Curtain area!"

"Aaaah! We're not panicking! We're n-n-not afraid! This is already our top speed! Sister Nan, you hurry up too!" Ma Bufan yelled at the top of his lungs. He said he wasn't afraid, but his lack of mental fortitude made him stutter.

Suddenly, *bang bang bang—*

Three small shells exploded in succession around the trio. The shockwaves from the blasts instantly dispersed the swirling snow, swallowing Si Nan, Ma Bufan, and Xiao Ning like a tidal wave.

The people overhead were still lamenting, "Looks like she was a Beauty. What a waste."

"What's there to be sorry about? It doesn't matter if one dies. There are so many houses down there; there must be plenty of beauties inside. Once we take it over, kill all the old ones and keep the young ones. This Apocalypse is great—you can do whatever you want."

"No! Nan Nan!" Luo Sen was heartbroken. A monstrous killing intent surged in his grayish-blue eyes, piercing the sky. He rushed out of the security room and leaped onto the roof, moving across the eaves and walls like an immortal, leaving Jian Bing stunned.

But he snapped out of it instantly. "Oh no! Girl?"

Jian Bing was fuming. He fired directly at one of the helicopters. He had just arrived and promised Ji Yan he would protect Si Nan; failing so soon was intolerable.

As a veteran, he shouldn't have killed indiscriminately, but these people had started firing Anti-aircraft cannons the moment they arrived, regardless of right or wrong, and without a thought for how many people—how many women and children—were below.

They hadn't even considered trying to negotiate before starting the slaughter. Therefore, they deserved to die!

"Sister Nan? Ah, kill them!" Bai Zichuan and Song Yuan were furious, pulling the triggers of their machine guns to spray the helicopters in the sky.

"Oh no, Xiao Nan!" The Security Lady wanted to rush out, but the elderly Zhou couple stopped her. "Don't go. You'll only get in the way right now."

The Security Lady gave up. She had just finished escorting the elderly Zhou couple back and hadn't made it out in time.

"Aaaah! Sister Nan? Waaaah! Bufan? Xiao Ning?" Guan Xiaowen, watching all this from inside a room, was terrified and covered in tears.

While everyone was tense and grieving, the three of them burst out of the smoke. Si Nan pulled Ma Bufan and Xiao Ning in a race between life and death, dodging the hunting fire that exploded constantly around them.

Then came three loud bangs from above. Three of the ten helicopters were destroyed in succession. Jian Bing's marksmanship was too precise; every shot hit its mark. He downed one helicopter after another, fighting for every second to buy Si Nan and the others time to escape.

Jian Bing was enraged. The enemy had sent ten helicopters at once, showing extraordinary wealth and resources—likely a powerful family. This formation showed they were determined to take Yunshu Mountain Villa and leave no survivors!

"Ah! Not good! They have anti-aircraft Rocket Launchers! Scatter!"

The enemy panicked. They never expected the people below to have such high-powered weapons, nor did they expect such elite marksmen who could down three helicopters at once.

Someone suggested, "Boss, let's retreat for now. We don't know their firepower. We're at a disadvantage without knowing the enemy."

"You damn well dare to shake morale? You're asking for death! Keep fighting! I promised Lord Jue before we came that I wouldn't return today without taking this villa. No one retreats!"

"I don't believe these hicks can get their hands on many Rocket Launchers! Blast them to death!"

The leader kicked the subordinate over and pointed toward the Sky Curtain where Si Nan had disappeared, barking orders in a rage.

"Then we fight. The boss is right; they don't have much firepower."

Someone fired suddenly. A shell blocked the path of Si Nan's trio. Smoke and debris swallowed them again. At the critical moment, Si Nan used all her Supernatural Ability to throw Ma Bufan and Xiao Ning out, leaving her own life hanging by a thread!

"Ah! Girl?"

"Sister Nan! Sister Nan!"

The hearts of Jian Bing, Bai Zichuan, Song Yuan, and everyone else leaped into their throats.

Just as everyone's hearts were clenched, Luo Sen suddenly burst out of the smoke holding Si Nan. With a leap, he landed at the back gate and delivered her safely into the Sky Curtain.

Three seconds later, Ma Bufan and Xiao Ning were also thrown into the Sky Curtain. Turning around, Luo Sen gave Si Nan a quick kiss, took the Rocket Launcher from her hand, and charged out of the Sky Curtain.

Suddenly, the Sky Curtain overhead rattled from the explosions, but it remained unharmed. This infuriated the enemies above. "How is this possible? What material is this that even our Anti-aircraft steel cannons can't break it? I don't believe it!"

*Bang!* The man fired two more shots in succession.

*Slap!* The boss slapped him directly. "You idiot! Lord Jue specifically ordered not to destroy the houses in the villa. If you level the place, are you going to rebuild it for him?"

The subordinate was still defiant. "Boss, look for yourself. I couldn't destroy it even if I wanted to. Three shells did absolutely nothing. It's like seeing a ghost."

"I know that!" the boss roared, spraying spit all over the subordinate's face. He was even angrier.

Damn that Huangfu Qiankun for being so rich. Even the roof was protected. He didn't know what kind of material that turtle shell was made of, but it was blindingly bright and, damn it, even anti-aircraft guns couldn't break it. There was absolutely nothing they could do.

While the boss and the subordinate were feeling as frustrated as if their hearts were being cut by knives, a small shell suddenly flew toward them. "Ah! Turn around! Turn around!"

But it was too late. *Bang!*

The boss was smart; he opened the cabin door on the other side and leaped into the air, grabbing the bottom rack of a neighboring helicopter. The subordinate, however, was blown to bits along with the helicopter.

But it wasn't over. A second shell followed, and this time he wasn't so lucky. The shell hit him directly.

The blast flipped the entire helicopter, pushing it out of the Yunshu Mountain Villa's perimeter. As it tumbled, the glass shattered completely, instruments failed, and the helicopter plummeted straight into a swarm of zombies.

The starving zombies swarmed forward, submerging the entire helicopter.

Then, three more shells streaked toward the remaining helicopters. Before the Second-in-command could react, another three followed.

The Second-in-command closed his eyes and roared in terror, "Damn it! Retreat! Retreat now!!"

The remaining three helicopters turned tail and fled.

"No, they're out of range." Jian Bing immediately messaged Luo Sen. He had fired three shells in a row but missed; the distance was too great.

"Run? They can't run. They all have to die!" Luo Sen suddenly moved, leaping onto the roof, using the tops of the trees to reach the perimeter wall, and chased after the helicopters with the Rocket Launcher on his shoulder.
