Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1574

The refugees were torn. Those were mercenaries with live ammunition, and one wrong move would leave them riddled with holes. A few terrified men refused to listen, turning around and scrambling up the mountain. But the vast majority looked at Emmy's pale yet resolute face and ultimately gritted their teeth and stayed. They curled up behind the rocks, not even daring to breathe loudly, keeping their eyes glued to the main road at the bottom of the hillside.

Soon, a low engine roar echoed from the end of the mountain pass. A convoy of SUVs, covered in mud and gunpowder residue, roared into view like angry steel beasts. The mercenaries who had just gotten off the helicopters had already scattered a dense layer of caltrops across the road. The tires of the lead SUV popped instantly, letting out a series of ear piercing blasts. The vehicle skidded violently, scraping blinding sparks against the road before finally breaking down and sliding to a halt in the middle of the street.

"Fire!" the mercenary leader roared.

The rising and falling gunfire instantly tore through the tranquility of the valley. In the nick of time, the door of the SUV was kicked open from the inside, and a burly figure rolled out violently. He moved as fast as lightning. As he landed and rolled, the assault rifle in his hands spat tongues of fire. Two mercenaries who tried to rush forward were taken down with precision.

Hiding behind the rocks halfway up the hill, Emmy stared fixedly at the man rolling out of the vehicle. With just one glance, her tears burst like a broken dam, her eyes turning as red as dripping blood. Her husband, her peerless hero, had truly come to save her.

The crossfire on the road instantly reached a boiling point. Stray bullets flew wildly through the air, constantly whizzing toward the hillside. A few agonizing screams rang out from above. Those refugees who had refused to listen and ran back were directly hit by stray bullets because they had no cover. Blood sprayed from their chests as they tumbled down the hill, dead on the spot. But the majority of the people who had listened to Emmy and hidden behind the rocks with their heads down managed to avoid the flying bullets. The screams and fleeing figures on the hillside immediately drew the attention of the battlefield below.
