Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down

Chapter 66 Life And Death on A Thread

Leonard looked over and suddenly a bloody hand grabbed his ankle and dragged him towards the

water.

Felix and Kevin heard shots fired just as they stopped the car.

“Fuck! That fool actually fired at Winona!” Felix yelled.

“Game over man. We will be buried together with that fool!” Kevin lamented.

The two ran like maniacs towards the sound of the gunshots but were shocked when they arrived. They

saw that Winona had Leonard in a chokehold and dragged him towards the water. Leonard was

struggling in vain and kicked up the water around him.

Felix watched in awe at this woman who had remarkable abilities.

Kevin yelled excitedly as he applauded, “You go girl! Do it!”

The second lieutenant was dumbfounded. He thought that he had captured a female spy and could

execute her by himself. He never expected her to turn the tables around so swiftly and now his

colleagues were even cheering her on at his expense!

Winona released Leonard as soon as she heard Kevin’s voice and quickly waded out of the water.

Kevin and Felix immediately saw that her arm was wounded and bleeding profusely.

Felix quickly led her to the car while Kevin kicked Leonard who just crawled out of the lake back into

the water. Kevin yelled at him, “Damn fool, how dare you hurt General Matt’s woman!”

‘What? This woman was really … Mrs. Snider?’ Leonard thought as his heart sank to the bottom of the

lake. Everyone knew that Matt loved his wife dearly. His chances of any promotion were over. He might

as well die right there.

Felix quickly took out the first aid box from the car while Winona tore off her sleeve and started to treat

her wound and bandaged it with ease.

“Winona, why are you here?” Felix asked.

Winona related to Felix how she came to Esnurg. She then instructed them to deliver the required

medicines to David in exchange for those girls.

Kevin was upset and said, “They are with Cosmos and had mistreated you. They should be happy I

didn’t feed them explosives!”

“I need to keep to my word. Furthermore, he has those girls as hostages.” Winona explained.

“Okay, then I’ll let them off this time. The next time I’ll feed them bullets!” Kevin fumed.

“Where is Matt?” Winona asked.

“He left on a mission,” Kevin replied.

Winona heaved a huge sigh of relief. Thank goodness he was fine. She did not waste her efforts in

coming. A breeze blew onto her face and cleared her worries over these days.

Back at the encampment, she gobble up so much food that it took Felix and Kevin by surprise.

“Kevin, thank goodness Matt isn’t around. If he saw that Winona was so hungry, we’d be toast!”

“Felix, you know how to suck up. Convince Winona not to tell Matt about these. Otherwise, we’re done

for.”

Winona ate her fill and went to the car and demanded, “Bring me to Matt!”

“Winona, Matt is on a mission.”

“Do you think that I’d be a burden to him?” Winona snapped back.

“No, but the situation is dangerous and we have to protect you.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Winona smiled, “I was almost killed by your men.”

Felix and Kevin exchanged looks as they both knew that it was Matt who gave that order.

She smiled and walked towards Felix and then sized him up as she said, “Are you wearing that cartoon

underwear?”

Felix immediately started the car. He did not want her to hook him to an airplane or strip him and

shame him in front of his men.

…

Matt was in the car snaking along the mountain roads. He then sneezed. It looked like someone was

talking about him.

Then, a scout reported to him over the radio, “Good day General. The group of refugees had gone

towards Leatane Tips.”

Leatane Tips was next to Horsmeny Deep and across the sea was the international airport. Looks like

Logan wanted to flee via the sea.

Matt picked up the radio and said, “Guys, listen up. Approach Leatane Tips from all sides. Also, deploy

three fighter jets to cut off his escape.”

“Yes Sir!” The men received their orders and began to execute the plan. It was off-road around Leatane

Tips and they had to change into 4WDs and scramblers.

Instantly, Leatane Tips was covered with the rumblings of roaring engines. Dirt and dust were kicked up

everywhere as several jets roared overhead. Matt and his men had surrounded Leatane Tips and

begun to tighten the noose.

Now, Logan had been forced to hide out in a cave.

“Boss, Matt is trying to clear us in one sweep. You should quickly escape!”

Logan said furiously through gritted teeth, “Matt’s ruthless!”

“Boss, look for a way to escape. You shall fight another day!”

Logan thought for a while before saying, “Put on my facemask and wear my clothes. Escape in

different directions!”

“Yes Sir!”

Now Matt heard from his men in different sectors who reported that they had captured Logan. No one

had seen Logan’s face and were only familiar with that devil facemask that he wore.

He knew that Logan would not be captured so easily. They had competed for so many years and Matt

even personally experienced Logan’s craftiness. His men had secured all avenues of escape so where

could Logan escape from?

He looked towards the cliff and then his eyes lit up and said, “Instruct the men to search Phantom Walk

in Leatane Tips!”

Phantom Walk was carved out of the cliffs and only wide enough for one man. The top was the peak

and the bottom was the abyss. That was why it was named Phantom Walk. It was said that ghosts

used these paths at night. The living would turn into corpses when they used the paths. Those who fell

into the abyss could not even have their bodies located.

Matt rode on his scrambler and headed up the Phantom Walk. The wheels kicked up rocks and dirt. He

was so determined that he did not care that some of the rocks hit his face.

Suddenly a 4WD came from the opposite direction and he somehow knew that the driver was Logan.

Both careened towards each other with no intention of slowing down.

This was not only a challenge between vehicles, but it was also a competition of courage. The person

who chickened out would lose!

The two sped towards each other along the narrow path. They both knew that both would die on

impact!

Matt was always a gambler and someone accustomed to gambling with his life. He had gambled for

twenty over years and never had he lost. Now he would not allow himself to lose. He had a loving wife

waiting at home for him.

The mountain wind blew on his face and fluttered his clothes. His eyes were locked onto the oncoming

target and he was riding at top speed towards Logan!

Death or life, it was down to this!
