The 12.7mm large-calibre armour-piercing projectile fired by Vulture caused almost fatal injuries to Shen Yao. Although he failed to hit the heart due to Shen Yao’s keen dodge, all other internal organs were probably shattered. His arm was also shattered. If one is broken off, even if the dragon blood man can recover as long as the head and heart are still there, such an injury will still take him long to recover. At least, he couldn’t be healed in a day.
This is the best opportunity to pursue Tang Jingzhi and they should never miss it.
Over the church that collapsed 400 metres away, their comrades-in-arms, friends and brothers may still be under the ruins. They might still be breathing and are waiting to be rescued.
Tiger Shark took the lead and ran towards the church frantically. Other members of ‘Peregrine Falcon’ also followed. As long as there is a little hope, they will not give up their comrades in arms.
Unlike them, the Chinese special forces are not hired to fight for money. They have orders above their heads. The first iron law of a soldier is obedience. They cannot, like these mercenaries, give up the best chance of fighting the enemy in order to save their comrades.
For the mercenaries of ‘Peregrine Falcon’, losing their reputation and commission was not as good as losing their comrades.
All the special forces clenched their fists and looked at Shen Changze, who had the highest rank here. They were asking him with their eyes full of tears and pleading.
Shen Changze said firmly: “Trust the ‘Peregrine Falcon’.” He picked up the gun from the ground, “We can’t waste the time Vulture bought for us. Everyone, continue to search for Tang Jingzhi. We must find him. If he resists…” Shen Changze displayed a bloodthirsty and ferocious expression on his face, “Killed him on the spot.”
Yang Guan took a last look at the ruined church. He gritted his teeth and turned his head while shouting, “Search for Tang Jingzhi!”
With tears in their eyes, these iron-blooded soldiers picked up their weapons and rushed deeper into the movie city. They searched every building and every detail, vowing to find Tang Jingzhi.
Tiger Shark took most of the ‘Peregrine Falcon’ to the church, Ayer took three people to stay to protect the wounded in the tavern and only Shan Ming followed the Chinese special forces.
Shan Ming looked back at the church frequently. Zouhuo, Pell and Falcon were there. Even though he was very unlovable, Vulture was still a real soldier. He didn’t know the fate of his comrades in arms. They had already lost Dino so he didn’t want to lose more.
Shen Changze glanced at Shan Ming beside him, “Baba, if you are worried about Pell and the others, you can go to church.”
“No.” Shan Ming said bluntly, “They will find Pell. Even if it’s only her corpse.” He gritted his teeth. There was endless killing intent in his eyes.
He followed the special forces not only because he was worried about Shen Changze’s injury. But it was also because he wanted to kill Tang Jingzhi. He won’t let these people have a chance to bring Tang Jingzhi back to China or give Tang Jingzhi’s value to the Chinese government. This son of a bitch will surely live for decades more and maybe even outlive everyone in ‘Peregrine Falcon’. He would never allow such a thing to happen. Any mercenary of ‘Peregrine Falcon’ could not stand that their comrade died while the murderer was still alive!
The cruelty on Shan Ming’s face made Shen Changze understand his purpose almost instantly. However, he did not intend to stop Shan Ming. Because letting Tang Jingzhi die was the idea of everyone present. Shan Ming was the only one who was suitable to do it for them.
This battle was too tragic. Someone should die to appease their sorrow.
In order to expand the search area, they divided ten people into teams of two. Shen Changze and Shan Ming entered a two-story house.
The two of them searched the two floors. Near the storage room on the first floor, Shen Changze stopped.
Shan Ming asked, “What did you find?”
“Tang Jingzhi has appeared here before. There was his scent here.”
“Your nose is really good.” Shan Ming has been concentrating on the search. At this time, he glanced at Shen Changze and his eyes were immediately hurt by the wound on his fleshy wing. He said anxiously: “The wound is bleeding again.”
Shen Changze didn’t look back. He only shook his wings, “Leave it be. Such a deep wound can’t be blocked. We can only wait for it to heal by itself.”
“Can you hold on walking around like this?”
Shen Changze nodded, “I must find Tang Jingzhi first.”
Looking at the blood dripping from his fleshy wings and the torn clothes on his body, Shan Ming felt deeply powerless. He grabbed Shen Changze’s arm, “It’s dangerous for you to do this. I know that the blood loss effect of Dragon Blood people is not that dangerous compared to human beings. But even transformation itself consumes a lot of energy.” Shan Ming looked seriously into Shen Changze’s eyes. From the eyes, it’s not hard to see the fatigue.
Shen Changze took a breath. He forced his chapped lips to part and displayed a difficult smile, “Baba, why don’t you give me a kiss?”
Shan Ming looked at him coldly. He apparently felt that this foolish joke was spoken at the wrong time.
Shen Changze frowned and said softly, “Baba, the wound really hurts. Please give me a kiss?”
Several large holes had been ripped through on his wings. Those who have not experienced it can’t imagine how painful it is. But Shan Ming, who has been through all kinds of pain all year round, knows it clearly. He looked at Shen Changze’s face. He frowned and said, “Does it not hurt for you to act like a baby like this?”
Shen Changze nodded seriously. He looked at Shan Ming quietly with his eyes full of expectation.
The scene when Shen Changze spread his dragon wings to resist the deadly white phosphorus splash appeared before Shan Ming again. The word “Baba” that was spoken by him made him worry. Every painful sweat that fell on his shoulders hit him in the heart.
Shan Ming’s head became warm. He grabbed Shen Changze’s neck and kissed his lips.
Shen Changze’s eyes widened and his pupils constricted. He didn’t expect that his father would really kiss him. The huge wings enveloped around Shan Ming almost at once. It was as if it could separate the two of them in an independent time and space where there was no gunpowder, no war, no pain and no death. They should only be engulfed in this soft kiss, tasting each other’s familiar taste. Shen Changze hugged Shan Ming’s back tightly. His tail wrapped around Shan Ming’s legs unconsciously and his dry lips wantonly enjoyed the moisture of saliva. Their lips and teeth were entangled, exchanging each other’s breath. The two hearts stuck together closely. It was as if the frequency of their heartbeats had become the same.
This kiss is incompatible with this cruel battlefield. It is too beautiful to appear at such a place.
When the two parted from their kiss while panting, Shan Ming’s obsidian-like eyes were stained with embarrassment. He stretched out his fingers and flicked Shen Changze’s wings, “Can you stop messing around with these two things?”
Shen Changze hugged Shan Ming excitedly and kept calling him “Baba”. He could hardly control himself because of his father’s proactive kiss.
Shan Ming didn’t know how to respond right now. He didn’t think too much of it. Maybe this kiss is similar to buying a toy that the child doesn’t usually get because of his illness so he bought it just to appease his pain. Or maybe there is something else in this kiss but he didn’t want to think about it. He only knew that the most important thing now was to ensure Shen Changze’s safety.
He stretched out his hand and forcefully broke off Shen Changze’s big tail which was wrapped around his leg. He then pushed him away, “If you can’t bear it, just sit down and rest immediately. Don’t be aggressive.”
Shen Changze wiped off the sweat from his face. His face was flushed with excitement and he looked less pale. He smiled and glanced at Shan Ming. He said in a low voice: “It’s okay now. You are by my side. I can bear anything.”
There was no slightest hesitation in his eyes. Shan Ming glanced at him, feeling his heart beating fast.

*Author’s Note: Some immature kids think that Father Shen is weak since he didn’t even realise the strength of the sniper. Snipers actually play a very important role on the battlefield. They can suppress the opponent’s firepower and range of activities. Seizing the commanding heights of the sniper and killing the opponent’s sniper are basically the primary goals of any team in a battle. Otherwise, there is a risk of being killed by a single shot at any time. The sniper hides in a dark place where no one can find him, looks at the right time, and gives the enemy a fatal bullet. If he kills an important person, he has a chance to turn the tide of the battle. The penetration ability of a sniper rifle is not comparable to ordinary pistols and rifles. The AK gun we usually know of has low shooting speed and poor penetration. It is a weapon specially aimed at close-range infantry. Bulletproof vests can even block it off. But specialised sniper rifles with large-calibre bullets can easily penetrate even the armoured vehicles. It is impossible for the dragon scale to be tougher than the shell of an armoured vehicle. So from shooting to hitting the target, the distance of 400 metres takes less than a second. Father Shen is a superman so he managed to escape being hit at the vital point. If he was an ordinary human, he would already be dead. However, once a sniper’s location is found, what awaits him is a concentrated fire attack. Usually, a sniper risks his life to fire this fatal shot. This shot may be his last shot so this shot must be valuable.-SCQ
