Chapter 22 Surrender Your Weapon and Your Life Will Be Spared

Just at the critical moment, Murong Feng, acting alone, accurately took aim at Taiyong who was about to fire the RPG. Unfortunately, not being a professional sniper, his aim shifted at the very last second, grazing the enemy's ear instead.

As Taiyong collapsed to the ground, several of his friends hurriedly dragged him back. For a moment, the group huddled behind several vehicles, not even daring to fight back.

"Oh no, they have a sniper! What should we do?" a male student asked anxiously.

"Sob, sob... Why don't we just surrender? We're all from the same school, they won't really kill us, right?" a female student cried out.

"No way!" Taiyong clutched his bleeding ear and said viciously, "We killed so many of them the moment we struck. From the very beginning, this was destined to be a fight to the death."

"That's right, I was the one who killed one of their guards. When the time comes, they'll definitely come looking for me to settle the score."

"Damn it, aren't some of our people behind the villa? As long as we fight our way through to them and our main forces unite, what is there to be afraid of?"

"It seems that's our only option now," Li Yunfeng said with a gloomy expression.

While the group was discussing their next move, Zhang Xiaofan quickly regrouped with Wang Hu and the others. Without wasting any words, Zhang Xiaofan commanded directly, "Flank them and wipe them out completely."

"They also have people behind the villa. I'm worried those guys might suddenly charge over while we're attacking," Hu Xiaotian said.

"Zhou Jian, take the assault team and guard our rear. The medical team stays here to tend to the wounded on the spot. Everyone else, follow me," Zhang Xiaofan quickly formulated a strategy and waved his hand. The remaining members crouched low and advanced toward the enemy.

"Hu Xiaotian, your medical protection unit, circle around and join up with Yu Li. Then we'll launch a coordinated pincer attack from the front and back in one go," Zhang Xiaofan instructed, suddenly turning to Hu Xiaotian.

Hu Xiaotian nodded and quickly moved out.

Soon, Li Yunfeng's side noticed Zhang Xiaofan's movement and instantly hurled two grenades. However, being untrained rookies after all, their accuracy at such a long distance was miles off. Zhang Xiaofan and his men didn't even have to budge as the grenades exploded more than forty meters away.

"Open fire!" Zhang Xiaofan roared.

Instantly, tongues of fire erupted from their side. Seizing this window, however, Li Yunfeng quickly organized his men to take cover behind the vehicles and return fire. Putting down his walkie-talkie, Li Yunfeng shouted, "Don't worry, everyone! I just contacted Zhao Haicai, and he's bringing reinforcements over. Hold on!"

On Zhang Xiaofan's side, Wang Hu emptied a magazine from his Gatling gun and cursed viciously, "Those bastards have a large stone pillar behind them, we can't break through."

Zhang Xiaofan shouted, "Burn them out!"

"Rat-tat-tat..."

Bullets whistled past their ears. Zhang Xiaofan picked up an old discarded tire from the side and said to Wang Hu, "Aren't you blessed with a stone body? You've got great strength—throw this straight across in a moment, and I'll ignite it."

Wang Hu nodded. Gritting his teeth, he strained his arms wide and spun around on the spot, hurling the tire toward the opposing side. As it flew through the air, Zhang Xiaofan tossed a stream of fire at it, the intense heat instantly igniting the tire.

A roaring fireball landed and burned not far from Class 1-6's defensive line. The thick black smoke made Li Yunfeng and his companions tear up.

"Damn, what's wrong with the people in their class? One's arm grew huge, and another can actually conjure fire!"

"Hmph, didn't you see what was said in the Red Packet group? The more ghost money you have, the stronger the physique you can exchange for."

"Regardless of anything else, everyone just hold on," Li Yunfeng could only say.

"Cough, cough... I can't take it anymore, I want to surrender," a female student said timidly.

Taiyong snarled viciously, "Do you want to get us all killed?"

Just as he spoke, another large fireball was hurled their way. This time the aim was dead-on, crashing right where they were crouched, causing the group of students to flee in sheer panic.

"Bang!"

"Put out the fire! Quick, cough, cough, cough..." Li Yunfeng shouted anxiously.

Before they could even organize a fire brigade, yet another fireball came flying through the air. At this point, the students could no longer hold out, crying and screaming as they tried to run.

"Let's break out of here! Damn it, otherwise we're all going to die!"

"That's right, let's charge out!"

"But they've completely surrounded us!"

"Sob, sob, when are Zhao Haicai and the others going to get here?"

Seeing the enemy front line collapse, Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed. He told Wang Hu to stop throwing tires and shouted, "Listen up, people on the other side! I know you're from Class 1-6. Drop your weapons and come out, and I guarantee I won't harm you."

As soon as these words were uttered, the members of Class 1-6 were struck dumb with shock. Many of them directly dropped their masks and said, "There's no point in keeping up the mystery anymore. Let's just surrender; he already said he won't hurt us."

"Yeah, rather than waiting here to die, we might as well surrender to save our skins."

Seeing no response from the opposite side, Zhang Xiaofan called out again, "Think about it, we don't have any major conflicts between us. Surrender and you won't be killed."

After saying this, Zhang Xiaofan signaled his men to get ready. The moment the enemies actually surrendered, they would execute them all on the spot.

The students understood tacitly. This was Zhang Xiaofan's classic move of making an example of someone to terrorize the rest. Fear toward him deepened in their hearts, but no one voiced any objections since they were currently dealing with enemies.

Two female students finally couldn't stand the thick smoke anymore and bolted straight out. In a panic, Taiyong cursed, "Trying to run? Kill—"

However, due to the dense smoke, he fired several shots and missed completely, allowing the two girls to safely reach Zhang Xiaofan's side.

Overjoyed, Zhang Xiaofan quickly motioned for his men to hold their fire. After all, if he wanted to trick the others into surrendering, he had to keep up appearances.

He instructed the girl next to Zhang Hua to help support the two newcomers, then shouted loudly, "See that? Surrender and you won't be killed! We can even take care of the wounded, and we have medical supplies. You guys definitely don't have any, right?"

The enemy were all students who had just entered the game, and many lacked experience, so Zhang Xiaofan was certain their preparations were inadequate.

Sure enough, the wounded men around Li Yunfeng began to waver. One of them, with a wounded shoulder, said, "Squad leader, let's just surrender. Look at them, they're fine."

"What if they're doing this on purpose?" Li Yunfeng's expression was grim as he replied, "Wait a little longer. As soon as Zhao Haicai and the others arrive, we can break through."

On the other side, Zhang Xiaofan looked at the two girls who had escaped over. Both looked quite ordinary, but their figures were decent. He asked, "What are your names?"

"My name is Xu Xiao."

"My name is Shi Yan."

"Hmm, how did you guys end up coming here?" Zhang Xiaofan was extremely curious about this.

Shi Yan, who was bolder, answered, "The day before yesterday, after our soccer match against you, another task was organized in the school chat group telling us to head here and find a place called the Corpse Vegetable Garden. Once we found it, the mission would be considered complete."

"I remember you guys only started playing this red packet game a few days ago, right? How do you have so many weapons now?" a female student nearby asked curiously.
