Chapter 1778 - Provoking the Central Guards Brigade
Chapter 1778 - Provoking the Central Guards Brigade
Zhou Liang, who was driving, cursed, “How many people did these guys bring?!”
“It’s possible that someone else is here. The two sides are not in cahoots!”
Zhou Liang turned the steering wheel fiercely. At the same time, he saw the person who was firing at him.
A few pickup trucks had appeared in front of him. The people inside were all pointing their guns at him.
The path ahead was already sealed. It was impossible to escape.
Zhou Liang got an idea and turned into a small road in the nearby market.
Because of the firefight, there was no one here anymore, but they had all left their goods and stalls behind.
This barred their escape a fair bit.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The glass of the Land Cruiser was riddled with one crack after another, some already shattered. Orange-red tracers flew overhead, making Lin Yi and Zhou Liang nervous since they were just a moment away from potential death.
Bang,bang, bang!
Seizing the right moment, Lin Yi launched a counterattack, trying to create an opportunity for Zhou Liang. Without this, their chances of escaping were slim.
“This is f*cking exciting!”
Seeing Zhou Liang’s state, Lin Yi was relieved.
After joining the Central Guards Brigade, they did not participate in any missions. They only followed the process and underwent a few drills and training sessions.
However, at this moment, he was able to display such a heroic and fearless front. This guy was clearly not simple; Lin Yi had not misjudged him.
“Do you have any regrets?”
Amidst the gunfire, Lin Yi laughed out loud.
“Why did you have to come to this place to suffer instead of being a rich second-generation heir?”
“I’m f*cking regretting it.” Zhou Liang laughed out loud.
“Normally, I’m the one who shoots at others. Who dares to do this to me?
Damn it, when I get back, I’ll definitely find a bath center and get massaged for three days and three nights.”
“I’ll take care of that for you.”
Zhou Liang laughed. “Boss, sit tight. There’s a sharp turn ahead. Make sure you aren’t thrown off.”
“Just drive your car. I’ll cover you from behind. Don’t worry about me!”
“Alright!”
Zhou Liang stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel hard to the right. At a nearly perfect angle, he drove the car into a small alley that was only three meters wide.
At this moment, five cars were chasing them. With seemingly unlimited ammunition, the bullets fired at Lin Yi.
While Lin Yi was taking cover, he was also looking for a suitable plan to stop the pursuit to escape.
“F*ck! There’s a scrapped car in front!” Zhou Liang cursed.
Lin Yi turned around and saw an old Chevrolet parked by the roadside.
“Here’s my chance.” Lin Yi said excitedly.
“Speed up!”
“Alright!”
After receiving Lin Yi’s order, Zhou Liang stepped on the accelerator and the Land Rover’s engine roared.
This car, which was the benchmark for off-road vehicles the world over, displayed its terrifying performance at this moment.
Riding up over the hood of the Chevrolet, the Land Cruiser landed smoothly without any obstruction.
“This ride is so thrilling. 1 might switch to a Land Cruiser myself after we get back.”
“Stay focused, we’re not out of danger yet.”
After his reminder, Lin Yi aimed his weapon at the Chevrolet’s fuel tank and let loose a burst of gunfire.
Gasoline spilled onto the ground, and the sparks from the metal friction ignited it, sending flames soaring into the sky.
Thick black smoke obscured the view, and the pursuers behind them were blocked by the fire, unable to continue the chase.
“Damn, boss, that’s brilliant. Who would’ve thought of that?!”
In reality, this was not a high-end tactic.
But Lin Yi could remain calm under such intense conditions, which made Zhou Liang admire him.
He doubted that he could do the same.
If Lin Yi wasn’t in the car, he would have died.
“Motherf*cker!”
Lin Yi slumped into the back seat, panting heavily.
This was the first time such a thing had happened to him. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.
Lin Yi touched his pocket and found that it was empty.
“F*ck, where’s my phone?!”
“Did you throw it out just now?”
“Possibly.”
Zhou Liang handed his phone over.
“Use mine first.”
Lin Yi took out his phone and found Yu Siying on the first page of his contact list.
“We’re on Massachi Street, heading towards the embassy now. We need fire support, hurry over!”
“Roger that!”
Yu Siying’s voice was also frantic, and the sound of gunfire in the background indicated that their situation wasn’t good either.
After notifying her, Lin Yi got up and counted the remaining bullets, hoping to hold out a bit longer.
As long as Yu Siying and her team arrived with adequate firepower, even if they were outnumbered, it should be enough to allow him to retreat to a safe area.
Even so, Lin Yi did not let his guard down. While counting the ammunition, he continuously scanned the surroundings to ensure Zhou Liang’s absolute safety.
At three in the morning in Yanjing, Huaxia, the Central Guards Brigade’s building was brightly lit.
All the officials of the Central Guards Brigade had gathered as they analyzed the situation whilst trying to come up with the optimal solution.
Teams 2 and 3 of the Central Guards Brigade had already been sent to Panem.
At this moment, the door of the combat conference room was pushed open.
Under the escort of the guards, Lu Beichen walked in from outside.
After receiving the notice, Lu Beichen made some simple arrangements over the phone. Then, he put on his clothes and personally rushed to the base.
He had not expected such a thing to happen in Panem.
When they saw Lu Beichen, everyone saluted in unison.
“Chief!”
“Have you arranged for reinforcements?”
“I’ve already sent Team 2 and Team 3 to provide support. They’re taking a private plane. If nothing goes wrong, they should be able to enter Panem City before air traffic control restricts the airspace.”
“How’s the situation over there?”
“The situation is really bad.” Liu Hong said with an ugly expression.
“The people from the Bureau found about 10 kilograms of ore in their goods. Then, Lin Yi was taken away for investigation. Immediately after, he was attacked and lost contact with the rest of Team 1, but they’re thinking of a way to provide support.”
In this critical situation, Lu Beichen was exceptionally calm.
He also connected everything that had happened in front of him.
The foreigners had gone to Panem at the same time because they had heard the news.
Their target was the goods in Lin Yi’s hands.
But the question remained: why would ten kilograms of ore randomly appear on Lin Yi’s cargo ship?
Lu Beichen’s eyes narrowed.
Knowing Lin Yi, he was not the type to secretly stash such items. It was more likely that someone had set him up.
Otherwise, there was no way so much ore could have leaked out!
With this thought, Lu Beichen’s expression grew even darker.
This was a provocation against the Central Guards Brigade!
