<h4>Chapter 1122: Chapter 1129: Desert Crisis (5)</h4>


    Ling Chen kicked open the deformed cockpit door, using both his hands and feet, crawled out of the cockpit. Meanwhile, Qiu Yong and the others also left the cabin one after another.


    Looking at the pitch-ck gun barrels outside, a strange look shed through Ling Chen’s eyes.


    The armed group before him seemed to be different from those who captured them earlier. First of all, these people wore all kinds of military uniforms, and their weapons varied as well, unlike the previous armed group, who were disciplined and uniformly dressed. No matter how you looked at it, these people seemed like a ragtag army.


    While pondering, a man resembling an officer approached, sizing up Ling Chen and the others, and began conversing with his subordinates,pletely ignoring Ling Chen.


    Bang! Bang!


    Suddenly, explosions rumbled from the nearby military base, apanied by the sound of intensive gunfire.


    Hearing themotion over there, Ling Chen immediately understood that it was likely another military group, probablying to cause trouble. At that moment, the officer turned and looked towards the direction of the battlefield. After a while, he pointed at Ling Chen and the others, making a ’cut’ hand gesture to his men.


    Seeing this gesture, Ling Chen understood that they intended to kill them. Without time for dy, Ling Chen shouted loudly, his body moved swiftly, and he plunged directly into the crowd. He punched out, and before the officer realized what had happened, he was sent flying by Ling Chen’s punch, his breastbone instantly shattered.


    As Ling Chen swung into action, Qiu Yong and the others immediately followed, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, rushing into the crowd. At such close range, the armed men dared not fire, afraid of hitting theirpanions. This undoubtedly gave Ling Chen and the others the opportunity. Being experts, facing suchbatants who relied solely on firearms posed no challenge to them.


    In the blink of an eye, more than twenty armed men were all subdued.


    "Brother, let’s go!" Ling Chen shouted and promptly led the group in retreat opposite from the battlefield.


    However, after running for a short distance, Ling Chen suddenly saw ahead arge number of enemies. Judging by their march direction, they must be headed for the battlefield. In the center of the crowd was a Jeep, with a middle-aged man with a bushy beard sitting inside. Ling Chen focused his gaze, his eyes narrowed.


    The middle-aged man wore a military uniform with two shoulder patches, and the General Stars were very prominent. It was needless to say that he was certainly the leader of this ragtag army.


    At this moment, both parties already faced each other, and Ling Chen couldn’t evade anymore. No choice left! Ling Chen’s eyes chilled, and he softlymanded, "Brother, let’s fight out together!"


    Upon hearing Ling Chen, Zhang Zhongfeng immediately raised his long bow, cing five arrows onto the bowstring.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Following the sound of arrows cutting through the air, five sharp arrows shot out instantly, knocking five armed men in the front row to the ground.


    "Rush in." Ling Chen said in a deep voice. Long-range battle wasn’t to their advantage. The enemies had numbers and firepower — one volley of dense bullets would pierce them through. To avoid such a situation, Ling Chen’s only chance was to charge into the crowd, fighting at close range, which was the only advantage they could leverage.


    "Ling Cheng!" At this time, Qiu Yong shouted loudly. Ling Chen swept his gaze, immediately understood Qiu Yong’s intention, and quickly dashed towards him. Simultaneously, Qiu Yong joined hands and ced them at his abdomen, waiting for Ling Chen’s foot to step on it. With a fierce exertion, he flung his arms upward.


    Using this force, Ling Chen soared into the air, flying over ten meters high, swiftly charging towards the enemy ranks.


    Behind them, Zhang Zhongfeng quietly watched Ling Chen. When Ling Chen’s momentum waned and he was about to fall, Zhang Zhongfeng immediately raised his long bow, aimed at Ling Chen’s position.


    An arrow flew out; it was extremely fast and precise,nding right under Ling Chen’s foot. Using the arrow’s force, Ling Chen lightly stepped onto it, his originally plummeting body soared once more towards the Jeep.


    Ling Chen’s target was clear — the middle-aged man wearing the General Star patches.


    To catch the thief, first arrest the king. As long as he dealt with the leader, the others wouldn’t be a problem.


    With Zhang Zhongfeng’s assistance, Ling Chen stepped on three arrows consecutively and finally reached above the Jeep. The Inner Strength whirled, and Ling Chen descended heavily in mid-flight,nding steadily on the Jeep.


    Faced with Ling Chen’s appearance, the middle-aged man on the Jeep and the driver were stunned,pletely not expecting Ling Chen tounch an attack this way.


    Before they could draw their guns, Ling Chen kicked out, directly kicking the driver out of the seat. Then, Ling Chen quickly reached out, snatched the handgun from the middle-aged man’s waist, and pointed it at his forehead.


    With the pitch-ck gun barrel aimed at him, the middle-aged man was startled, his face turning pale instantly.


    Meanwhile, the surrounding armed men finally reacted, all raising their guns at Ling Chen in the driver’s seat.


    "You better not move." Ling Chen red coldly at those surrounding him and shouted, "If you don’t want him dead, put down the guns and get lost!"


    For a moment, over a hundred armed men were rattled, not daring to fire, fearing for their leader’s life.


    Seeing no one listening, Ling Chen red at the middle-aged man and said, "If you want to live, you’d better obediently do what I say."


    Upon hearing this, a trace of hesitation flickered in the middle-aged man’s eyes.


    Ling Chen’s lips curled into a cold smirk, scoffing, "Seems like you don’t value your life much, well then, I..."


    "No, don’t shoot!" The middle-aged man hurriedly raised his hands, adopting a surrender stance.


    "Put down... Put down the guns, quickly." Facing Ling Chen’s murderous re, the middle-aged man’s heart froze with fear, quickly yelling at his subordinates.


    The leader had spoken, causing the others to look at each other, then one by one threw their guns to the ground.


    Seeing the armed men’s actions, Ling Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. Truly a ragtag army, too easy to handle; a casual threat made this guy crumble immediately.


    "Good. Now, tell your men to scram." Ling Chen ordered.


    The middle-aged man dared not defy. At this point, for the sake of his own life, he had toply with Ling Chen unconditionally. Soon, over a hundred armed men all retreated until they vanished from Ling Chen’s sight.


    "Alright, now get off! I said I wouldn’t kill you, but we need to borrow your car, is that okay?"


    "No problem, you... you can take it." The middle-aged man hurriedly said. At this moment, he only wished to get this walking disaster away quickly. Not to mention a Jeep, even a ne or tank was no issue.


    "Thanks!" Ling Chen smiled slightly, winked, and thetter immediately understood, quickly scrambled out of the car, fleeing backward.


    "Brother, get in the car."
