Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 281 - : Zhao Lang, Are You Willing to Take a Gamble?
Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Zhao Lang, Are You Willing to Take a Gamble?
Jiang Yan had a dream.
In his dream, he found himself in a strange world.
The upper half was fire, the lower half sea.
He floated in this world, screaming until his voice was hoarse, but no help came.
At last, a Phoenix flew by, but it didn’t even glance at him and just flew off.
Jiang Yan woke up in frustration.
Only then did he realize that he wasn’t dreaming.
Seeing the sea of fire about to engulf him, Jiang Yan was completely dumbfounded.
“What the hell is going on?”
How could it possibly catch fire so suddenly?
Fortunately, he was lying in a large water tank, which was filled with water just today, saving his life and preventing his body from being burned at all.
But staying here was not a long-term solution, as the thick smoke would block his respiratory system within minutes, and the thatch house seemed ready to collapse at any second.
At this critical moment, Jiang Yan’s heart suddenly tightened.
“Damn it, Jiang Li!”
He crawled out of the water tank, covering his mouth and nose, and called out Jiang Li’s name amidst the flames.
“Jiang Li, cough, Jiang Li, where are you?”
“Cough, cough, cough, you silly girl, don’t you know it’s on fire?”
“Jiang Li….”
Unable to find anyone, Jiang Yan panicked and stood helplessly in the center of the house.
Just then, the beam above him shook violently and, just as it was about to fall, a pair of hands reached out from the flames and pulled him away.
Seeing the owner of the hands, Jiang Yan was disappointed again.
“Zhao Lang? Why is it you? Where’s Jiang Li?”
Zhao Lang didn’t want to waste words and quickly pulled him with the strength he had left.
But Jiang Yan stubbornly wanted to go back.
“No, Jiang Li is still inside, I, I have to save her!”
Seeing Jiang Yan truly panic, Zhao Lang finally spoke with difficulty, “Jiang Li has already been rescued by me, don’t worry, just follow me out.”
Relieved by those words, Jiang Yan felt a weight lift from his chest.
Once they escaped the fire, and he saw Jiang Li leaning against a tree stump outside, he finally felt completely reassured and spat fiercely on the ground.
“Damn it, how could such a huge fire break out all of a sudden?”
Zhao Lang and Jiang Li exchanged a look, silently agreeing not to speak.
Then, Jiang Yan gratefully put his arm around Zhao Lang’s shoulder.
“Brother Daniu, you really are my lifesaver this time, don’t worry, from now on, you’re my brother, not by blood but just as real. If you ever need anything, just ask me, anything but my life and I’ll surely oblige!”
Zhao Lang coughed hoarsely, “Actually, you should be thanking your sister more.”
“When I first went in, I didn’t see you, just her passed out beside the water tank. It must have been her who put you in the tank, using all her strength and then fainting.”
Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Li, who remained silent, his mouth agape, trying to say something but feeling that no words could express his current emotions.
She had risked her life to save him…
But the next second, as if he saw something in the woods, his expression suddenly changed.
“Lili, be careful!”
Jiang Li, just having escaped the fire and still dizzy, had no chance to react. She only caught a glimpse of something silver shooting toward her.
Then, everything went black before her eyes as she was scooped into someone’s arms. Accompanied by a “pfft”, the person grunted.
“Shit…”
A familiar voice rang out, and Jiang Li’s heart tightened.
“Jiang Yan!”
She quickly caught the man as he fell.
“Are you okay?”
Jiang Yan covered his wound, the pain causing him some dizziness.
“Shit, how could it be a gun? You need to run, hurry…”
Using the last of his strength, he lifted Jiang Li and forcefully shoved her away.
Zhao Lang quickly caught her and looked up at the man approaching from the depths of the forest.
“Chen Xing? You actually woke up!”
It was his fault for rushing over here and forgetting to tie him up.
But he had already thrown away all his weapons. Where did he get a gun from?
Chen Xing, wielding a shotgun, slowly revealed himself.
Now his appearance was fully restored, his dark, rough face marked by a long and frightening scar, making him look fierce and terrifying.
He sneered, seeming somewhat resentful.
“This big fire still didn’t burn you to death, you’re really lucky, considering I even drugged your water earlier.”
Jiang Li secretly sneered.
No wonder she had been feeling weak since the afternoon. At first, she thought it was just the hot weather, but by the time she realized, it was too late.
Looking at Jiang Yan unconscious on the ground, Jiang Li bit her lip and, with Zhao Lang’s help, stood up.
“Chen Xing, if you surrender now, it’s not too late. The police might be lenient with you. Turn back before it’s too late.”
“Heh, turn back?” Chen Xing laughed loudly. “I have no way back now it’s all because of you meddling. Would my brothers and I have ended up like this if you hadn’t interfered?!”
“You all have to pay for your actions!”
Seeing that Chen Xing had lost control, Jiang Li knew that further delay was futile, so she hurriedly pulled Zhao Lang into the forest.
Bullets hit the bushes around them, and the two squeezed through narrow gaps looking for a chance to survive.
“This isn’t going to work,” Zhao Lang said, frowning. “How about I draw his attention and you escape with Jiang Yan?”
Jiang Li shook her head seriously, “He has a shotgun, and it’s too dangerous for you to distract him alone. Don’t worry about Jiang Yan; I’ve calculated his fortune recently. He faces a great danger, but it won’t threaten his life.”
Zhao Lang wanted to ask if she had calculated his own fate, but decided it was not the time to discuss it.
Another bullet hit near their feet, and Zhao Lang immediately threw himself on Jiang Li, both rolling to the side.
This action completely exhausted Jiang Li.
She was already weakened by the drug, had used almost all her energy dragging Jiang Yan, and had inhaled the dust and smoke, surviving only because of her recent training.
Zhao Lang’s situation wasn’t good either.
To save them, his clothes were burnt ragged, and his exposed skin was badly lacerated.
If this continued, both might end up in serious trouble.

Yet, on the other side, Chen Xing was already approaching with his shotgun.
Looking at the cliff behind her, Jiang Li clenched her teeth and then said hoarsely,
“Zhao Lang, are you willing to take a chance?”
Zhao Lang followed her gaze and immediately understood her intention, then smiled.
“I’ve already gambled with my life six times; one more won’t make a difference.”
