In the midst of chaos and danger, the urgent cry of "Enemy attack!" from a sergeant pierced the air, blending with the relentless staccato of submachine gun fire that echoed across the battlefield.
"Spread apart and find cover!" Captain Bai Yi commanded, his voice a beacon of authority amidst the turmoil.
The team swiftly dispersed in all directions, seeking refuge along the meandering riverbank as bullets whizzed past, tearing through the air with deadly precision.
Having swiftly dispatched two foes in succession, Shen Han, an S-class female Alpha, deftly shifted her position, narrowly evading a storm of bullets that found their mark on the lifeless bodies clad in camouflage.
Seizing the moment, Gu Junwan took the opportunity to break away, sprinting towards the safety of a nearby forest with Bai Yi in swift pursuit. As he crossed the stream, another soldier followed in their wake, while two others remained behind to provide covering fire.
The dense foliage of the woodland enveloped Gu Junwan, swallowing her figure as she disappeared from sight, leaving her pursuers to fire shots at the ground, a futile attempt to shatter her resolve.
Splintered branches lashed at her ankles, aggravating the already swollen joint of the Omega Empress, yet she pressed on undeterred, her determination unwavering in the face of the relentless gunfire that pursued her.
Aware of the need to divert a portion of her pursuers and hold out until Shen Han's arrival, Gu Junwan steeled herself for the arduous task ahead.

On the opposing side of the riverbank, two soldiers sought cover behind a rocky outcrop, their weapons trained on the enemy.
In a sudden and unexpected turn of events, a deadly hail of bullets rained down from above, silencing their weapons and extinguishing their lives in a heartbeat.
Shen Han retrieved a submachine gun from her back and descended from the leafy canopy of a towering tree with effortless grace.
The Federal Army-issued submachine gun boasted an effective range of 200 meters, perfectly aligning with the Alpha's keen marksmanship skills. With swift precision, she looted the fallen soldier's gear, reloading her weapon with practiced ease before advancing towards the next phase of the unfolding conflict, her unwavering resolve a testament to her prowess on the battlefield.
Like a nimble cheetah on the hunt, she surged forward, selecting a direction that led her away from the dense forest where Gu Junwan sought sanctuary, her movements calculated and purposeful.

"Your Majesty, if you persist, the next bullet will find your calf," The captain's ominous warning reverberated through the tense air. "The rewards for capturing you alive far outweigh any harm that can befall you, don't they?"
Undeterred by the looming threat, Gu Junwan pressed on with steadfast resolve, her determination shining through in the face of imminent danger.
Bai Yi's voice lowered to a murmur as he cursed under his breath, his gaze unwavering as he aimed a warning shot at a nearby dead tree, a gesture meant to halt Gu Junwan's advance without causing harm.
Resolute in his duty and reverence for the queen, Bai Yi's actions were guided by both the mandates of Shangfeng and his deep-seated respect for Gu Junwan.
As splintered wood filled the air, a mysterious figure emerged from the shadows, swiftly intercepting Gu Junwan's pursuers with two precise shots that echoed through the dense jungle, bringing a sudden halt to the chaos. One soldier down behind the captain.
