Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 450 - Sky Fall



Brandon was looking around vigilantly. Every step he took was filled with uncontrollable fear. He stared into the surrounding darkness and said tremblingly. "U-uncle, where are you?"

Xiao Kai gritted his teeth, thinking hard about rescuing the kid. He didn't understand why Brandon came back.

The sniper in the distance discovered this. He tilted his rifle slightly and aimed at the small figure. A grin appeared on his face as he wanted to see how Xiao Kai would do next.

Xiao Kai grabbed the rifle in his hand tightly. His mind concentrated on Brandon, and he quickly shouted when he saw Brandon walk behind a thick tree. "You stay there, kid. Don't move!"

Brandon subconsciously stopped his legs and asked timidly. "Uncle?"

"Listen to me, kid. Someone is aiming a gun at you right now. You can't leave that place, understand?" Xiao Kai shouted further.

Brandon replied in a shaky voice. "I-I understand."

Xiao Kai took a deep breath and said. "Now sit down, lower your head and make yourself small as much as you can."

Brandon hurriedly did according to Xiao Kai's instruction.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai heaved a sigh of relief and glanced at the map again. His mind quickly calculated the distance between him and the sniper.

A while later, Xiao Kai pushed the glasses slightly, and his eyes immediately became resolute. He picked another stone up and threw it into the air. However, this time, the sniper did not fall into it again. He aimed at it once but did not pull the trigger.

In that instant, Xiao Kai suddenly rolled out of the cover and aimed the rifle at the sniper in the distance. His movement was incredibly agile. A loud bang came out in a split second, and the bullet cut through the air toward the sniper.

Bang!

The sniper was startled for a second. Before he could move, the bullet had already arrived before him… Unfortunately, the shot missed his vital point and could only shave off a chunk of flesh on his shoulder.

"Shit!" Xiao Kai cursed, but he understood this was probably the best result he could get in this situation. It would be a miracle to kill the opponent.

Seizing this chance when the opponent was dealing with his injury, Xiao Kai rushed to Brandon with his rifle and laptop.

"Come with me." Xiao Kai said and dragged Brandon into the darkness behind the factory.

After running for who knows how many minutes, Xiao Kai decided to take a rest in the forest. He put his equipment down and glanced at the panting Brandon. "Why did you come back?"

Brandon panted heavily, gasping for breaths while trying to reply. "I-I want to help Uncle."

A frown appeared on Xiao Kai's face. "Where are other kids?"

Brandon responded. "They have entered the police station. I believe the police will come here soon… Uncle, who are those bad people? Why did they capture us?"

Xiao Kai found a nearby boulder to sit down and said. "They are a bad guy. You will understand later when you grow up. Now, I need to do something. You better take a good rest first. We will have to run in a while." Following that, he placed the laptop on his lap and began to operate it.

Brandon didn't say anything further and walked to Xiao Kai's side. He sat on the ground and leaned against a tree while looking at Xiao Kai's side face. Upon seeing Xiao Kai was focusing on the laptop, Brandon's eyes flashed with a cold glint. He silently drew a gun out and aimed at Xiao Kai.

Bang!

"Let's go." In the lab, Yun Lintian checked his gun and beckoned Xia Yao to move. They quickly rushed out of the room with the control room as their destination.

Rushing along a corridor, Yun Lintian and Xia Yao effortlessly took the enemies down. The tacit understanding wasn't something anyone could imitate. While Yun Lintian was switching the magazine, Xia Yao would cover him, and he would do the same for her. Their movement was so smooth that Donkey started to fear them.

"Can you do something, Mister Reaper?" Donkey asked nervously.

Reaper stared at Yun Lintian without blinking as he asked the operator. "How's the situation outside?"

"It's almost done, Sir." The operator replied.

Reaper nodded his head in satisfaction. "Start the third plan."

The operator didn't say anything and quickly sent an order out.

Yun Lintian and Xia Yao destroyed the cameras around the corridor and arrived at the intersection. They leaned against the wall and exchanged a glance, preparing to make a move. 

Just as they were about to move, Xiao Kai's voice suddenly rang out in their ears. "Boss, Sister Rain, are you alright?" His voice visibly trembled.

Yun Lintian was sensitive to this. He quickly found something was not right in Xiao Kai's voice. "What happened, Sky? Did you suffer an injury?"

In the forest outside the factory, Xiao Kai leaned against the tree while covering a fatal wound on his chest. Blood gushing out, dyeing all over his body. Beside him was a lifeless body of Brandon, with a giant hole in his forehead. It was apparent who came out on top in the end.

Xiao Kai's breathing became heavy. His eyelids were half-closed, and his mind began to blur. He tried his best to stay conscious as he spoke. "Boss, it seems I'm not going to make it… I'm sorry. I made a huge mistake on this mission."

"What's going on, Ah'Kai? Don't scare me!" Yun Lintian anxiously shouted.

A smile appeared on Xiao Kai's face. "Boss, listen to me first. You have to leave this place as soon as possible. I have already contacted Sister Lynn. She will arrive here soon."

"Where are you now!?" Yun Lintian ignored Xiao Kai's words.

Xiao Kai didn't answer but continued to speak with a peaceful smile. "You know what, Boss? I have always wanted to say this for a long time… Thank you… Thank you for letting me know the feeling of being loved and cared by a family. If there's next life, please let me be your little brother again… I'll leave first." 

As he finished his sentence, Xiao Kai glanced at a picture on his laptop. It was a picture of the Cloud Shadow team members. Everyone smiled brightly while hugging each other's shoulders in the picture, showing how close they were.

His eyes gradually blurred before gently closing forever…
