CHAPTER 365: CHAPTER 358: A LONE MARKSWOMAN

Jin San and his group advanced quickly, and in no time they were only fifty meters away from the small hill. Shangguan was the first to pick up a wooden arrow and threw it like a javelin at the person at the very front, only to hear "Ouch!" as the person collapsed in response, and it was unclear if they were dead or not.

Sisi refused to show weakness. Her strength was not as great as Shangguan’s, so she picked up a rock and hurled it fiercely at the people below. Another cry of "Ouch!" was heard, and Sisi was secretly pleased as she continued to throw rocks.

Seeing that this kind of attack was indeed effective, the other students couldn’t help but surge with heroic feelings and joined Shangguan and the others in throwing stones and wooden arrows. Although their aim was a little off, strength in numbers proved advantageous, and they actually managed to hold Jin San and his group at the bottom of the hill.

"Big Brother, these students are too fierce, several of our brothers are injured, we need to go back and treat the wounds, otherwise there might be trouble," Lin Laosan, with a large bump on his forehead, came running to Jin San.

Jin San was also hit by several stones, with a surge of fury in his heart, he became even more determined to take those people down. He thought for a moment, then said to Lin Laosan: "Third, send a few brothers to go back and get those guns. Today I will go on a killing spree."

"Okay, I’ll send someone to fetch them now."

"Sisi, why have those people stopped?" Mo Liu whispered to Sisi.

"I don’t know. Maybe they are resting for a while before launching another attack?" Sisi pondered and replied.

Shangguan squinted her eyes and saw clearly in the moonlight the objects held by the people running from a distance. She turned her head and said to Sisi, "They are going to get guns, homemade guns."

Sisi was startled, not expecting these people to actually have guns. Although they were homemade guns, their lethality was not inferior to that of rifles!

"Hurry and find cover, lie down, and don’t stick your head out; the people below have guns."

Shangguan was always a woman of few words. Sisi had no choice but to instruct the others. Although she didn’t have much of an emotional connection with these students, she didn’t want to see them get hurt or die.

Everyone was so scared that they hid. A few of the more cowardly male students were about to cry. They had only come to sketch, so why had they encountered a battle?

Sisi told Zhu Yunxiu and Mo Liu to find a place to hide as well, but the two of them refused.

"No, we share the good and the bad together. I won’t abandon my companions!" declared Zhu Yunxiu, puffing up her cheeks, Mo Liu as well, both stubbornly refusing to hide.

Teacher Xu and Professor Ma also moved beside Sisi. As teachers, how could they stand by and watch their students in front-line combat while they hid behind?

About a dozen male students also stood up. They were of course afraid of death, but hiding behind the girls, even if they survived, they would feel dishonored for the rest of their lives.

Chang Yunhuan struggled for several minutes, bit his teeth, and still stood up. He didn’t think hiding behind women was anything shameful, but with teachers standing up, how could he, as the class leader, hide behind?

Most importantly, he was in a crucial period of his Party Member evaluation, he couldn’t afford to mess up now!

Sisi slightly smiled, sarcastically glancing at a few male students and Song Mengshi and their group who were still hiding in the back.

"Feifei, we need to seize some guns, otherwise it’s going to be very difficult to handle," Sisi said to Shangguan.

Shangguan squinted her eyes, surveyed the surrounding terrain, and said to Sisi, "I’ll go down to snatch the guns."

"Okay, be careful. We’ll cover you from here," Sisi knew that Shangguan was the only one who could do this job, because although her Shooting Skills were good, her Fighting Skills were too poor.

Shangguan silently slid down the other side of the hillside, her black clothing and the abundance of vines on the slope prevented her from catching the attention of Jin San and his people.

Sisi initiated an attack by picking up rocks and throwing them to provide cover for Shangguan, while other male classmates also exerted all their strength to throw rocks downhill.

"Bang"

A gunshot rang out, striking a large rock in front of one of the male classmates and sending sparks flying. The classmate was so scared that his legs went weak, and he couldn’t even stand straight, while the other students were stunned by the gunshot.

"Hurry up and throw the rocks, they can’t aim clearly at night," Sisi shouted, hastily continuing to throw rocks herself.

Shangguan came back just as silently, carrying four rudimentary long guns. Sisi’s eyes lit up; she picked up a gun, checked it, and found it to be quite good. Although it couldn’t compare to the military-issue weapons, it was certainly good enough.

"It’s up to you now."

Shangguan handed all the guns to Sisi. She knew her shooting skills were not as good as Sisi’s, particularly in this dark night. It would be better not to waste bullets.

"No problem!"

With the gun in hand, Sisi felt much more confident. She aimed the gun at the people down below. Luo Datou had specifically trained her in night shooting, so there was no need to worry about losing accuracy, especially at such a close distance.

’Pop’

The classmates only saw Sisi skillfully raise the gun and take down a person without much aiming, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Sisi continued to shoot, aiming not for the head as she would on the battlefield, but for the body. If luck was on their side, they wouldn’t die; if not, they deserved it for their poor luck, for she was exercising self-defense.

The sound of gunfire followed one after another, and the people down below kept falling one by one. Everyone only saw that several people had fallen in an instant, while Sisi, after emptying one gun’s magazine, immediately picked up another and continued firing.

The crowd was silent with respect. Initially, they had thought He Sisi, a delicate girl, was named a war hero because of her family background—that she had probably just visited the battlefield and was regarded as having earned her stripes upon returning, which wasn’t uncommon in their circles.

But unexpectedly, He Sisi turned out to be a real sharpshooter. It seemed her military honors were well-deserved. Inspired by Sisi’s performance, everyone’s perception of her significantly improved.

Because Sisi was not very sociable in class, they had felt uncomfortable, thinking she was too arrogant and did not take them seriously. However, after this night, their views had changed.

A girl like He Sisi would actually be abnormal if she were too easygoing!

At this moment, Sisi had finished the ammunition of three guns. She tried her best not to waste bullets. Seeing the chaos among Jin San and his men below, it seemed they must have suffered considerable losses.

Jin San’s losses were indeed serious. He himself had been shot through the shoulder blade, which was so painful it made his vision black out. Chen Liu had been hit in the abdomen, and it was uncertain whether he was dead or not. Third and Lao Si had also suffered severe injuries, and several of their brothers had fallen, with no clear indication of whether they were dead or alive.

Damn it, there seems to be a real expert among these students, a sharpshooter?

Jin San deeply regretted that he had bitten off more than he could chew this time. After all, they were just a group of disorganized, undisciplined thugs who had never received formal training. How could they stand against Shangguan and Sisi, who had undergone formal training?

The difference in skill level was immediately apparent!
