I frowned. What was the great witch planning this time?
I saw the pirates settle outside my shooting range, and I reported the situation to Su Qian and Su Shen.
âMy dear Nanxing, quickly use your brain to think. Are there any other secret weapons and secret warehouses on this island?â Su Qian panted as she asked me through the earpiece.
Before I could reply, Su Shen said, âWeapons are not that important. What we need the most now is manpower. There are only four of us. Even if we have a whole island of weapons, we canât do anything! If they decide to launch a full counterattack, weâll be overwhelmed!â
Of course, I was aware of this situation.
The pirates suffered heavy casualties. They retreated to regroup. However, no matter how long we rested, it was pointless. We couldnât suddenly get new people. Only two of us could fight. I had to stay in the command room. Su Qian and Su Shen wouldnât have others command them. Xiao Yi was responsible for communication. However, both the man and his car were at their limits.
We lacked manpower. The island had treasure but no manpower.
I watched the pirateâs movements and muttered to myself. âWhat are they doing? Are they waiting for reinforcements? Or are they trying to trap us here?â
No one answered me.
âSu Qian, Su Shen, donât go back to your original position. That position has been exposed,â I reminded them.
âI got it. Itâs alright. We have more than those two sniping spots!â Su Shen replied nonchalantly.
I could feel her moving from her rapid breathing.
âWhere are you going?â I asked.
âThe next sniping spot. We canât just sit around and wait for death.â Su Shen added.
Su Qian chuckled. âItâs been a long time since Iâve had such a satisfying fight. Nanxing, send out the signal for help. We donât know when the nearest rescue will arrive and if we can hold out until then.â
Her tone was relaxed, but I knew that the situation wasnât.
I had already sent out the signal for help without consulting them. It was for Dragonâs Gate and Sky City. I couldnât play with everyoneâs life. This was not the time to be a hero.
I grabbed a few walkie-talkie watches on the table, picked up a submachine gun, and rushed out.
There was a motorcycle in the garage downstairs. I planned to meet them at the front line.
As soon as I arrived downstairs, I saw Ma Ji and Xiao Yi.
âMy Great Wizard, you really came!âI exclaimed.
Ma Ji was still dressed in black. She looked at me calmly. âNanxing, donât treat me as an outsider. Treat me as your partner. I want to fight with you.â
I smiled wryly. âMa Ji, this is a life-or-death situation.â
Ma Ji nodded. âI understand. My life was saved from this kind of battle.â
I threw a watch at Xiao Yi. âYouâre still our logistics director. Youâre in charge of weapon transportation.â
Xiao Yi pleaded, âSister Xing, let me go to the frontline.â
I smiled and patted his shoulder. âDo you think the backline is not important? There are only so many of us. And weâre all relying on you. You have great strength and good driving skills. The rest of us canât do your job. We have too few people, so we need to be doing what weâre good at. Okay?â
Xiao Yi nodded vigorously. âSister Xing, I understand. Iâll make you proud!â Xiao Yiâs car drove away.
I looked at Ma Ji..
