Bang!
The bullet shoots out from the gun's muzzle, flying smoothly in the open, and hitting the terrorist leader on the head.
Puchi!
The terrorist stopped moving, his eyes filled with panic, his body slowly lost its control and he fell down on the ground.
Boom!
The terrorist died.
Seeing that, Jay paused for a moment before he breathed a sigh of relief.
The tension that's been filling his body from the start started to loosen.
Clack!
"Ugh…"
Dropping the gun on the floor, Jay sat down on the stairs while clutching his wound.
Pained expression appeared on Jay's face but his mind is slowly calming down at this time.
'I did it…'
Jay looked at the bodies of the terrorist below the stairs and let out another long relieved sigh.
This time, Jay can really say that he pushed himself to the limit of his abilities.
Fighting skill is indeed a powerful skill, especially after it improved to level 2.
With it, a man with a normal adult physique could actually fight 20 adult males of slightly average strength at the same time.
Now, even though there were only 5 terrorists this time, all of them were armed with guns.
And those are not just any other guns, those guns are real assault rifles!
It was a dangerous situation that even level 2 Fighting skill won't be able to solve if it happened in an open area.
The only reason Jay managed to successfully kill those terrorists was because he had all kinds of advantage on his side.
For example, he had the initiative and took down 2 of them right from the beginning.
Then, of the five terrorists, two of them went downstairs. This resulted with only the leader remaining to back up the two that Jay took down.
Most importantly, Jay's luck really played a huge role in his victory this time.
Because if he was even just a bit unlucky, those bullets that were shot at him could have turned him into a pile of messy meat.
So, instead of feeling excited at the feats that he just displayed, Jay felt tranquil in his mind and heart.
'I'm glad I survived…' he silently thought.
…
On the other side, after noticing that the surroundings have become quiet, Jay's family slowly peeked from the pillars they were hiding on.
"Husband, what is happening now? Is our son safe?" Jay's mother whispered.
Hearing her question, Jay's father thought about it for a bit before saying, "Wait here, I will take a look."
Before her wife could even say anything, Jay's father already started moving away from them, approaching the bend on the stairs while still crouching.
Jay's mother wanted to call him back, but was afraid of making any noise that might attract the terrorists if they're still there.
Praying that her husband will be safe, while hoping that bad has happened to her son.
Slowly, Jay's father made his way down the steps.
He tried to make no sound as he takes his steps and soon reached the bend in the stairs.
The next moment, he paused.
No, it's more appropriate to say that he froze.
Because right in front of him, bodies of the terrorist with blood still flowing out of them became visible.
It was a shocking sight even for an old adult man like him.
But thanks to his life experience, Jay's father still managed to suppress the raging emotions inside him.
He turned his eyes to the sitting figure directly in front of him, who's also leaning on the wall.
It was none other than Jay who's clutching his shoulder tightly.
Jay's father didn't hesitate anymore and approached him, saying,
"Son, are you alright? Were you hit?"
He worriedly asked as he moved closer to Jay and saw him holding his shoulder.
Jay looked at his approaching father and reassured him.
"... Yes, Dad. I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
Then he said, "Before anything else, please call the others first, we need to hurry up and get out of here."
Casting a worried look at his son, Jay's father went silent before nodding.
"Alright, son. Just stay here for a bit, I'll go and call them."
Saying that, he turned around and went back to the three women.
This time, he no longer crouched because he already saw that Jay already took care of the terrorists.
After a while, Jay's father came back with the three women.
Seeing Jay's haggard look as he sits on the stairs, the three women can't help but feel concerned.
Jay gave them some assurance for a while before the five of them started heading down the stairs.
Along the way, the group was feeling tense because the sound of chaos from the inside of the mall could be heard from where they were.
Fear and worry intertwined at this moment, creeping into the hearts of the group.
While they are heading down the stairs, Jay didn't forget to check his phone and saw a notice.
[Your livestream has been banned for 1hr for showing graphic contents.]
'Hmm, I already expected that this would happen.'
Seeing it, Jay knew that it was inevitable.
After all, the situation they are in right now is very critical and broadcasting it to everyone might cause more bad impact to the people inside and outside of the mall.
Most importantly, his livestream could have also let the terrorists discover them somehow.
Because of that, Jay didn't have a problem with him being banned.
Besides the ban notice, Jay also saw something else on his phone.
'... There's no signal.'
That's right.
For some reason, his phone displays that there's no signal in his current location.
…
After running down the stairs for a few minutes, Jay and his family, with ley, reached the ground floor.
There, a door that leads back to the main area of the mall could be found.
Quietly, Jay opened the door and peeked outside.
The scene of chaos where people are running away, stores burning with fire, and even some people lying on the ground with their life and death unknown appeared in his eyes.
It was a tragic sight that made one's heart churn.
