"Give me the key!"

Olivia raised her pistol and pointed it at Jack.

"No, it's too dangerous outside now, you can't go out!"

Jack raised his hands, signaling Olivia not to be nervous, but still rejected her suggestion.

Olivia insisted, "I'm going to call the police!"

"No,"

Jack shook his head and explained slowly: "The people who ambushed us had already colluded with the police!"

"I'm grateful that you saved my life, but I don't know you!"

Olivia stared at Jack and said, "Including everyone in your company, there is a traitor in your company, which means that the only person you can trust is me!"

After a pause, he said in a serious tone: "So, now, give me the car keys!"

"I can't do it!" Jack still refused.

"Crack!"

Olivia pulled the safety of her pistol: "You think I don't dare to shoot you in the head?"

"Maybe, but it's my job to protect you!"

Jack stared at Olivia's fingers and said slowly: "If I give you the key, it would be a dereliction of duty!...Have you ever heard of the phrase eternal loyalty?"

"Absolute loyalty?"

Olivia's eyes narrowed. "You're a Marine? Should I feel reassured by that?"

"Yeah, but I don't care what you think..."

Hearing the sarcasm in Olivia's tone, Jack said, "I don't have time to argue with you now. If you don't shoot, let me do my duty! Believe me, I won't let you fall into their hands!"

Her finger was tightly on the trigger, but she did not pull it. A trace of struggle flashed in Olivia's eyes. After a long while, she finally put down the pistol.

"Do you believe me now?"

Seeing this, Jack took the pistol from Olivia's hand and kicked it back to his waist.

.........

On the forest path, three armored jeeps were speeding towards the safe house.

In the first jeep, Voge held a notebook in his hand and looked at Jack's information displayed on the screen and said:

"This is the man - Jack Carter, who served in the Marine Corps Armed Reconnaissance Unit. He just came back from the battlefield and has been here for a few weeks. His combat instincts are still there. Left alone with no one to command him, he can only act according to the plan. We will go to the nearby safe house and we will definitely find him!"

.........

"Are you okay? Are you alright? We should go!"

In the safe house, after opening the warehouse and taking out the gun and being fully armed, Jack knocked on the bathroom door. Olivia had been in there for a long time and had not come out yet.

"Wait, I said wait!"

Hearing the hurried knocks on the door, Olivia became a little impatient. Looking at the blood on her face in the mirror, she couldn't help feeling a sense of despair.

After Olivia washed the stains off her face and came out of the bathroom, she saw Jack packing his bag: "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!"

"Eat it!"

Jack casually threw a bag of military rations to Olivia.

Olivia was a little disgusted and threw it away: "I don't want to eat this, I want to eat organic food, this is not food!"

"Organic food? Do you want mineral water..."

Jack turned around, picked up a bottle of mineral water and threw it over, but he happened to see a jeep parked on the path near the safe house in the surveillance video.

Looking at the surveillance, Jack's face became solemn. He picked up the submachine gun and instructed Olivia Zu: "Hide in the room. Don't come out without my instructions! If anything happens to me, you flee from here and don't look back!"

After saying that, Jack walked towards the back door carefully with the submachine gun in hand.

Olivia suddenly panicked, and when Jack's back disappeared at the door, she hurriedly hid in the monitoring room. But when she saw the two figures on the screen clearly, Olivia felt more and more uneasy.

"Put the gun down!"

Jack walked around from the backyard to the front door, raised his submachine gun and pointed it at the two people who were swiping their cards to enter the house, and said coldly.

"Jack!"

Nathan, who had resurrected from the dead, and the thin bodyguard looked at Jack and exchanged glances. Nathan said, "You're still alive? That's great!"

"Put the gun down right now! ... Quickly!!"

Jack was still staring at the two men's every move nervously, pointing the gun at them, with his finger on the trigger, as if he was going to pull the trigger at any time.

Nathan and the thin man looked at Jack's nervous expression and put the gun on the ground as he said.

"Jack, what the hell is going on?"

Nathan raised his hands.

Jack clenched his cheeks and said, "I want to know too. I thought no one could survive!"

The thin man said: "The others are all dead..."

Jack's eyes were full of suspicion: "So, there are only two of you left?"

"After you and Olivia escaped, I didn't see you driving away with the girl. We found a chance to get away..."

Nathan comforted Jack: "You did a good job!"

Jack still suspected that the two of them were the traitors, but he couldn't believe that his former superior was one of them: "Where did you get the car?"

"We met a patriotic country bumpkin who lent it to us!" Nathan explained, "Jack, I understand. You don't know who to trust now. I understand! If I were a traitor, I wouldn't have brought back just one person, but a fierce attack!"

Seeing Jack's expression beginning to ease, Nathan said, "I know who these people are, okay? I'm innocent, can I put my hands down now?"

"OK!"

Looking at his sincere old boss, Jack finally believed his explanation: "Who are they?"

"The leader is Simon Vogel,"

Nathan slowly squatted down and picked up the pistol. He said, "He used to be a member of the South African Special Forces. We hired him to carry out secret operations. Later, he had a lot of problems and messed up the mission. We had to 'fire' him, but we didn't know he was still alive."

Jack asked, "What about his accomplices?"

"If it's still his previous team..." Nathan sighed, "They are all top-notch agents. It's hard to hire better than them."

Jack stared at Nathan: "How do they know our route?"

Nathan said sincerely: "Just as you suspected, there was a traitor who tipped them off!"

"indeed so!"

The thin bodyguard suddenly raised the pistol in his hand, pointed it at Nathan's head and pulled the trigger. After a "bang" of the gunshot, Nathan fell to the ground without a sound.

"Haha~,"

The thin man pointed the gun at Jack and said coldly: "Put the gun down... There is a spare pistol!"

Jack stared at the thin man, but under the threat of the black muzzle of the gun, he did not dare to act rashly. He could only throw the submachine gun and spare pistol in his hands to the ground as he was told.

A smug look flashed in the thin man's eyes: "Hey, Jack, where is that girl?"

"She's not here! I guessed you would find this place, so I hid her!"

Jack stared at the thin man closely. He knew that their target was Olivia. Once he said that Olivia was here, the bastard would immediately shoot himself in the head. He could only speak with forced calmness.

"nonsense!"

The thin man stared at Jack's eyes, but his finger on the trigger loosened a little and tilted his head:

"Take me in!"

Olivia in the room saw that Jack had been controlled by the thin man, and hurriedly hid in the bathroom with a pistol, not daring to breathe.

The thin man watched Jack's every move and observed the rooms in the house, but he didn't hear any movement from the girl.

Under the command of the thin man, Jack and his companion went into the kitchen.

"Are you satisfied now? What do you want?"

Jack stared at the thin man.

"Ding ding ding ding ding~,"

At this moment, the piercing beeping sound of the water heater suddenly came from the kitchen, breaking the tense and silent atmosphere. Taking advantage of the moment when the thin man was distracted, Jack decisively seized the opportunity, stretched out his left hand, and pressed the thin man's wrist, pressing the thin man's wrist firmly on the table.

However, the thin man was not a pushover and reacted very quickly. While Jack's left hand was pressing his wrist, the thin man's left leg was ready to go. He used all his strength to lift his left leg, and his left toe went straight to Jack's lower abdomen. At the same time, the thin man's left hand quickly grabbed the porcelain plate beside him and smashed it hard on Jack's head.

Jack was quick-witted and raised his right hand to block the porcelain plate thrown by the thin man. The porcelain plate hit Jack's right hand with a crisp sound, and Jack's arm trembled violently because of the thin man's strong force. However, this was not the end. At the same time that the porcelain plate was blocked by Jack, the thin man's right hand quickly pulled out a pistol from his waist and pulled the trigger.

There was a loud bang and the bullet pierced the air and hit the wooden table nearby. Wood chips flew everywhere and the table top was hit by the impact of the bullet and a crack appeared instantly.

In the dimly lit kitchen, the two figures intertwined, the atmosphere was tense and intense. Jack and the thin man wrestled with each other in this small space, rolling around in every corner of the kitchen.

In the messy environment, dishes and kitchen utensils were smashed to pieces, and the broken ceramics and metals made crisp collision sounds.

Jack's eyes were calm, and he used his years of combat experience to try to find the thin man's weakness. The thin man was like a cunning cheetah, constantly looking for opportunities to try to give Jack a fatal blow.

The fight continued, and every inch of the kitchen was filled with their breath. Every attack and defense made their breathing heavier. The two pulled each other's clothes, punched and kicked each other, and the scene was extremely chaotic. The thin man was small in stature, but very strong. He nimbly dodged Jack's attacks and kept fighting back.

Suddenly, the thin man turned around and quickly pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist. He raised the knife and stabbed Jack without hesitation, the knife flashing and murderous. Jack's heart tightened when he saw this, but he did not give up. He quickly dodged and avoided the thin man's attack, and at the same time hit the thin man's face with his fist.

The fight in the kitchen became more and more intense, with swords flashing and fists intertwined. Every swing of the blade brought the threat of death, and every fight of fists and feet was terrifying. However, no matter how difficult the situation was, Jack did not give up. He kept looking for the thin man's flaws, trying to find an opportunity to fight back.

Finally, when the thin man swung his knife to attack, Jack cleverly caught the dagger in his hand. He twisted it hard, and the thin man's face twisted in pain, and he had to let go.

"Da da da~"

But at this moment, a burst of bullets suddenly swept into the kitchen. Jack looked at the surveillance camera and saw that Voger had brought his men to kill them.

Without bothering to get rid of the thin man, Jack leaped out of the kitchen, ran to the monitoring room, pulled up Olivia, and the two of them ran directly to the boat by the lake in the backyard.

Voger, who was chasing after him, was just one step too late. He could only watch Jack driving the boat with Olivia on it disappear in front of him. Voger was so angry that he fired a burst of blank shots into the air.

There was not much gasoline in the boat, so the two were forced to stop before they could run far.

Seeing that the previous security chief was actually a traitor, Olivia became more and more suspicious of Jack. When Jack was not paying attention, she picked up a pebble from the river and smashed it hard on the back of Jack's head. With a bang, Jack felt a pain in the back of his head, his eyes went black, and he instantly lost consciousness and passed out.

After knocking Jack unconscious, Olivia ran along the path until she reached a highway, stopped a truck, and went directly to the police station to report the crime.

It was unknown how long it had been, but when Jack woke up, he found himself lying by the river, with a tingling pain in his head and a fuzzy memory. He sat up slowly, feeling extremely weak. Recalling his previous memories, he only remembered that he was hit by a pebble and then lost consciousness.

“Olivia!!!”

Touching the back of his head and looking at the blood on his hands, Brother Jie was speechless. However, remembering his duty, he still followed the trail left by Olivia.

In the police station.

Olivia pushed the door open with a clang.

"Oh, hello miss, how can I help you?"

The male police officer standing behind the counter looked up at the breathless Olivia and asked.

Swallowing, Olivia said, "Yes, I need help! Someone wants to kill me!"

"Oh, is it so?"

The male police officer looked at Olivia in surprise, and seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, he took her to the sheriff's office.

After understanding the general situation, the sheriff looked at the panicked Olivia and said, "Can you start from the beginning?"

Olivia looked at the Sheriff, "I need to know you can keep me safe!"

The sheriff smiled and said, "You are surrounded by policemen. What happened?"

"You guys probably found a dozen bodies and a blown-up utility vehicle on Pine Ridge Trail this morning, right?"

Seeing the sheriff suddenly become serious, Olivia continued: "The murderers are hunting me!"

"Are you telling the truth?!"

After listening to Olivia's detailed account of the incident, the sheriff asked, "You don't know any of these people?"

Olivia became very excited when she heard the sheriff's question: "I don't recognize them. I have never seen them in my life. They shot at me! What should I do? Should I turn around and look at them?"

"Calm down!"

The sheriff stood up and calmed Olivia down: "I'll be right back!"

After saying that, the sheriff stood up and walked out of the office.
