Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 209: Outlaw - Xiaolan!
When two men meet on a narrow road, the one with the faster gun wins!

While Tequila was still shocked at how a black shadow suddenly appeared to save people, Xiaolan had already raised her hand, pulled out the Glock and aimed at the target.

“Don’t move…”

"Xiaolan, get out of the way!"

Suddenly, Yingsheng's roar came from the earphones. Xiaolan subconsciously kicked her heels and flew backwards with one hand holding Aida Masayo. Almost at the same time, bang! A small hole suddenly exploded in the solid concrete floor, and gravel flew everywhere!

boom--! ! !
A second later, huge gunshots rang through the night sky. The car horns and the noise of the crowd were all crushed at this moment. Everything in the city under the night sky was a strange ensemble, but the notes stopped suddenly, and then exploded again a moment later.

"what!!!"

The crowd suddenly screamed. Because Aida Masayo jumped off the bridge, most of their attention was focused there, and they saw the sudden change.

They might not all be able to recognize the sound of a sniper rifle immediately, but the things that suddenly appeared in Xiaolan's hand and the big man's hand on the bridge were extremely certain.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang! ! !
Almost at the same time, the two men opened fire.

But after all, Xiaolan had Masayo Aida in her hands. When she forced Tequila to take a step back, she quickly moved to the side under the bridge and entered the blind spot of Tequila's vision.

"Don't stop, hide behind the overpass pillars!"

Yingsheng's words continued to ring out, and almost at the same time, bang! ! ! Another loud gunshot rang out!
Xiaolan's heart tightened when she leaped, but she didn't hear the sound of the concrete ground exploding.

Yingsheng exclaimed in the earpiece: "I really didn't expect that the winery would be so arrogant. This is a busy city. Don't they care about the impact at all?"

Xiaolan's heart moved: "Did you hit it?"

"No, the opponent was very alert. Your sudden dodge made him realize that something was wrong, and he immediately retreated." Yingsheng sighed, "That guy is a veteran. He hid behind the curtains and opened his sight at the last second. If I hadn't been on guard this way, I would have been killed by him.

Alice, remember what I said before?
Hesitation will defeat.

You said it would be better if you just used your Uzi to shoot that guy, but now he has huddled behind the fence at the bridge head, and I can't hit him."

"Sorry, I just thought the situation was settled and wanted to keep him alive for interrogation."

Xiaolan shrank behind a pillar, let go of Aida Masayo, and pressed her hand to make her squat down.

"Oh, that's better."

Yingsheng smiled and said, "Listen to me, they have reinforcements, but we don't. We must break the deadlock immediately. It's easy to say. You have a grenade with you, right? Just throw one up there. It's super easy to use:
Just hold the bumper that looks like the handle of a spray can, unplug the safety pin next to it, and throw it out.

Let me make sure, are you calm now?"

Xiaolan took a deep breath, forced herself to suppress the pounding of her heart, and said in a firm tone:
"I can do it."

"If that's the case, there's an advanced procedure. The grenade fuse usually has a delay of 3-5 seconds. You... never mind. If you blow yourself up, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life. So, adjust your body so it's parallel to the street."

"it is good."

Xiaolan did as she was told immediately, and Yingsheng said:
"Turn left about fifteen degrees, get your grenade ready, run in this direction, turn back after two seconds, and throw it towards the position directly above you, OK?"

"understand!"

Knowing that this line was probably a sniper blind spot and that the winery might send reinforcements at any time, Xiaolan did not hesitate at all and immediately reached into her pocket to feel for a grenade.

Suddenly she found that her hands were still shaking.

Ah, of course. At this time yesterday, she was still shopping with Sonoko, and even the air was as sweet as the milk tea in her hand.

And now, she was about to throw a grenade at someone, and the smell of gunpowder would be everywhere.

but.

Looking at Masayo Aida's slightly pale but clearly calm expression, and even the hint of encouragement in her eyes, Xiaolan still held the bumper tightly with her right hand, just like she used to hold the handle of the watering can when she was learning flower arrangement in home economics class.

zizi——

clatter--!
When Xiaolan pulled out the safety pin, her fingers had stopped shaking.

She looked at Aida Masayo and said, "Just stay here and don't move. Nothing will happen to you."

The next moment, he leaped out!

The sound of the wind in her ears seemed to freeze in an instant, and the grenade in her hand became hot and scorching. The ferocious beast was about to wake up. Two! One! Xiaolan turned around instantly and aimed at the side of the thick square fence above the bridge pillar.

boom--!
In an instant, the wind suddenly sounded, and the grenade spun in the air. With a bang, the bumper bounced off, and a dark lightning flashed across the air, accurately passing through the gap in the railing, instantly passing by the terrified sight of a hiding person, and rushed into the air.

Boom——! ! !
Three seconds later, a deafening explosion tore through the night sky. Flames instantly lit up the surrounding darkness. There was little smoke and fragments flew everywhere!

Pretty!

A great shot put!

But, is there something wrong?
Yingsheng was quite speechless: "Xiaolan, you are overdoing it. You at least passed the target by 20 meters. Do you think it's fireworks? Do it again, but be quicker and use less force. He will run away if he finds out something is wrong."

Xiaolan blushed and quickly took out the second grenade: "Sorry, I was too nervous just now."

She decided to control her strength this time and throw it in a perfect parabola. However, just as her left index finger was closing the ring and she had no time to exert force, she heard:

"Switch to Uzi, he's out."

Tequila is not a fool after all. The enemy has already used grenades. If he doesn't run away, he will die.

Although there were snipers on the other side, Chianti should be able to hold him back to some extent. The woman who came out first had terrible shooting skills and no accuracy at all. Even if he was unlucky and relied on his bulletproof vest to withstand two shots, he should still be able to...

! ! ! ! !

Damn, what is that?!

That woman has...

Da da da da da da da da da da!!!
It’s Uzi!!!
Dense bullets suddenly came like a rainstorm, and Tequila's tall and burly body was like a living target, shaking constantly from being hit.

boom! ! !
The sudden dull pain in her back interrupted Xiaolan's shooting.

puff--!
The next second after a dull pain, there was a sound of flesh and blood exploding behind him.

"Retreat, Alice, their reinforcements are coming too quickly. Run in the direction of the previous sniper attack. There are fewer people there." Yingsheng said in the headset.

Xiaolan gritted her teeth, put the gun back into her waist, rushed back to the pillar, picked up Aida Masayo, and ran forward without looking back.

"I'm sorry, I'm useless."
