Chapter 557: A Sudden Explosion
Chapter 557: A Sudden Explosion
All of this happens within a second. Hawk's tall and strong body shakes. A bullet is shot and embeds itself in his left shoulder. It is not fatal and he can take revenge.
Rex is frightened, and feels tightness and pain in the chest. His eyes widen in shock as he shouts, "Lily!"
Lily only feels a gust of wind from the bullet blows past his face. Immediately after, the large hand holding her suddenly lets go of its strength. Hawk lies above Lily's shoulder, and a bloody smell fills the air.
The captain thinks that Hawk can't react in time. Just as he is about to fire again, Lily shields Hawk. The captain is afraid of that Hawk will shoot Lily to death. Unexpectedly, in a few seconds, Hawk drops his pistol and falls to the ground.
The captain takes the opportunity and rushes over to take down Hawk.
Lily doesn't know what happen exactly. In front of life, the situation changes rapidly.
Rex quickly walks up and pulls the Lily, who is in a daze, into his arms. He holds Lily tightly and he says in a trembling voice, "I'm glad that you're fine. I'm late. Sorry."
When the captain opened fire just now, Rex almost fainted. If something happens to Lily in front of Rex, Rex will never forgive himself in this lifetime.
Fortunately, she is fine, and he still has chances to hug her.
Lily's face and body are covered in dirt. Suddenly rescued, she is a little confused. She stares blankly at the familiar handsome face in front of her, and asks carefully and in disbelief, "Rex?"
"Yes. I'm here." Rex lowers his head and kisses her on her forehead. They don't talk much and he lets go of her. "Go and hide behind the stone over there. I'll find you later."
The captain is still fighting with Hawk, who is injured. It is not the right time to for them to talk about love.
Lily grabs his hand and wants to say something. But she thinks that it is useless to say anything in such a situation. In the end, she can only say with concern, "Don't get hurt. Promise me."
Rex puts on a smile and holds her face to kiss the corner of her lips. And then he says, "Don't worry."
Lily knows that she can't cause any trouble now. She walks behind the stone as Rex says. She squats down and hides her whole body behind the stone.
Rex watches her hide, and then he turns around and walks towards the captain. There is a lot of blood left on the dark brown earth, but the color of the blood is more like black on the ground.
Hawk is completely suppressed. The injury on his left shoulder is so painful that his face is pale. Even so, when he sees Rex coming this way, he clenches his teeth and pulls out the dagger from his waist. He catches the captain off guard and stabs the dagger into the latter's thigh.
The dagger with serrations pierces into the captain's flesh and wrings it. The captain lets out a low roar in pain. Hawk takes the advantages to take the gun from the captain's hand. And then he holds the dagger to the captain's neck. He stares at Rex, who is approaching, with his eyes filled with anger, "Stop! Or I'll kill him!"
The captain becomes the hostage. Rex sneers at Hawk's awful looking, "Surrender. You are a stray dog now."
Hawk's eyes darken. The edge of the dagger stabs into the captain's flesh. Blood flows down and the captain's clothes are dyed red that shock people.
Hawk seems to be unaware of his current situation and laughs crazily, "A stray dog can bite you hard!"
Rex coldly looks at Hawk's insane appearance. The police will soon surround Hawk and his struggle is useless. He is dying.
"So you hold a hostage and don't even have the courage to face me alone?"
Hearing this, Hawk suddenly becomes excited. His eyes widen and he glares at Rex as if he wishes to burn Rex, "You can't even protect your wife. What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?"
Rex frowns. He tightens his hold on the gun. He knows that Hawk is trying to enrage him, so he has to remain calm.
Hawk holds the captain's life, so Rex can't lose his mind.
"So what if you get her by force? The fact that she's my wife will not change no matter what." Rex doesn't spare any effort to unmask Hawk's excuses and disguises. "And you are just a coward."
"I'm not a coward!" Hawk roars. Even Lily, who is hiding behind a rock a hundred meters away, can hear him. Hawk seldom speaks loudly, let alone screaming out of control like now.
Lily sits on the ground with her hands covering her knees, and when she bends her body slightly, she can feel the hard thing wrapped around her waist.
Lily lifts her clothes and sees the black box. She didn't pay attention to it just now. Now, she can clearly see that although it tightly ties her waist, there is only one buckle, which can be unbuckled easily.
She is surprised. Not to mention a professional riot squad member, even she can remove such a bomb herself, especially when it is still not activated.
Lily glances at the three people not far away. In the next second, she starts to remove the bomb on her body.
The circuits look complicated, but there are only two main lines connecting the buckle. One is live and the other is dead. She can easily distinguish between them.
Hawk wants to enrage Rex, but instead he is enraged by Rex. Rex looks Hawk coldly and exchanges a look with the captain quietly. Rex and the captain have established a tacit understanding over the past ten days. Now they don't need to say anything and they understand each other's intentions.
Perhaps because he has walked into a dead end, Hawk's mood swings. This is the best time for the captain to make a move.
Rex has calmed down, but he still pretends to be angry. "If you're not a coward, then don't hide behind others. Come on, face me. Do you have the gall?"
"You are the coward!" Hawk's eyes are bloodshot. The memories that he can't bear to look back are all coming back to him. He can't lose. He can't!
The captain can clearly feel the tip of the dagger close to his neck is moved a millimeter away. Without any hesitation, he immediately grabs Hawk's right arm with all his strength.
Hawk's left shoulder is injured, and no matter how strong his right arm is, it can't withstand the captain's strength. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
However, the energy released by him at the moment of despair is enough for him to forget his pain. Even now, he still refuses to give up. He tries to dodge the captain's attack and even tries to fight the
latter hand to hand, preventing Rex from aiming at him.
The captain wants to control Hawk and bring the latter back alive for interrogation. But Hawk keeps struggling and the captain loses his patience. The captain quickly and accurately grips Hawk's bleeding shoulder and forcefully presses on the wound.
Even ordinary people can't stand such a grip, not to mention that Hawk's wound is bloody and mangled. Hawk's face is pale in pain, and he loses his strength for a moment. The captain clenches his fists and punches Hawk in the abdomen.
Looking at the captain's fist approaching, Hawk thinks of something and tries his best to dodge it, but it is too late...
After a muffled sound, Hawk falls down. At the same time, there is a loud explosion behind the stone.
Rex stops rushing forward in shock. A few seconds later, the smell of char comes from behind him. He turns around and sees a scene of devastation.
"Lily!" he screams in despair. His tense emotions are overwhelming for his body and he spits out blood.
