"I'm already here. Why don't you make me pay... now?"
Wang Xiao's voice carried through the air like a death sentence.
His words froze the soldiers where they stood, their bodies stiffening in fear.
Even the helicopters circling above hesitated, the whirring blades slowing as if waiting for orders.
The captain, his face ashen and drenched in sweat, snapped out of his terror. His voice trembled as he barked, "Fire! Fire! What are you waiting for?!"
Bam-Bam-Bam!
The helicopters roared to life, unleashing a barrage of gunfire toward Wang Xiao.
Bullets screamed through the air, cutting through the night. Dust and debris erupted into the sky as the earth around Wang Xiao exploded from the impact.
The battalions stood frozen, their weapons raised but fingers hesitant on the triggers.
They watched, their hearts pounding, as the dust and smoke engulfed everything.
