The forest was caged in the inky darkness of night. Xia Lei pulled Tang Yu-Yan along with him in a run in the dark; he was practically her eyes. Spears, arrows and bullets whooshed crazily behind them. 

Kabir’s three underlings had just found cover and were looking for targets. However, they’d become targets themselves before they managed to fix on any targets of their own - three arrows shot down from the tree canopy and pierced their heads. 

The Bureau 101 agents were hardier. They went straight into combat-mode after hearing Xia Lei’s warning shot and dove into the closest bit of forest to hide behind the trees to return fire. Their shots were focused and they were used to battle. They were at a disadvantage but they did not appear flustered. The defence line they formed blocked the White Hun Tribe’s first wave of attack and killed less than ten of the warriors. 

However, they were only able to block the first wave. Enemies came from both sides a minute later to tear them apart with AK47s and bows and arrows. Five Bureau 101 agents fell in pools of blood…
