Chapter 24: Pursuit and Slaughter (Part 1)

  Sun Heng stopped the car and observed for a while before saying to Feng Dayuan: "You go down and take a look, if there's any situation, call us immediately."

  Feng Dà Yuán nodded and pushed open the car door, walking away. I watched as he walked step by step towards those two cars.

  My heart involuntarily rose to my throat, fearing that Feng Danyuan would encounter some danger.

  At this time, Sun Heng had already picked up the phone and was in contact with the headquarters of the 1008 Brigade. I heard him say: "We are just five hundred kilometers away from the brigade headquarters, and we have encountered a suspected car accident scene ahead. We are currently checking. Requesting immediate dispatch of helicopters to assist."

  I furrowed my brow and muttered to myself: "No need to send a helicopter, is there? We'll be there in another two or three hours..."

  Sun Heng put down the phone and said to me, "Although we have dismantled a lot of the power of the Wanlong Society, its remaining forces cannot be underestimated. Moreover, now that the Wanlong Society has offered a high price for your head, some assassins in society will not be tempted? As the saying goes, 'it's easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow', we have to make the worst preparations."

  I still think it's a bit too cautious: "Our route of action this time is completely confidential, shouldn't anyone know when and where we will appear?"

  Sun Heng nodded: "That's what they say, but there are always exceptions. We'll be careful and won't go wrong."

  I also nodded, just wanting to say a few more words to Sun Heng, when I heard Feng Dayuan's voice: "Come and rescue people, everyone in the car is trapped."

  Sun Heng furrowed his brow, turned around and said to the two soldiers with numbers "8005" and "8007": "You two go down and take a look. If you can rescue them, then do so. If not, I'll immediately notify the traffic police department to come over and assist."

  8005 and 8007 nodded in unison, then got off the bus and ran towards Feng Dayuan. The three of them immediately began trying to open the collided Baolong and Chery.

  I watched them try several times but to no avail, it seemed that the doors of both cars were locked, unless they smashed the glass, it was hard to open the door.

  8005 and 8007 didn't hesitate, with a simultaneous elbow strike, they easily opened the doors of both cars. Then they got into their respective vehicles to pull out what was possibly an unconscious driver.

  Feng Dà Yuàn took a step back, turned around and gave us a thumbs up, indicating that everything was okay.

  I let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at Sun Heng, just about to speak when I saw his face suddenly change color. At the same time, I also heard him loudly shouting: "Feng Dayuan, be careful!"

  I hadn't even reacted yet when I saw Feng Dà Yuán's face full of incredulity as he plunged towards the ground, his expression filled with confusion and perplexity.

  I hastily looked behind him, and saw that the BMW driver and Chery driver who should have been unconscious were actually crawling out of the car. They both held handguns with silencers in their hands. And 8005 and 8007 had already fallen beside the car at some unknown time.

  "Damn it, we've been had! Fall back!"

  He immediately started the car and wanted to back up, but unfortunately there was Qi Yanjun's car behind him. Wanting to retreat to a safe distance was impossible now.

  At this time, the BMW driver and Chery driver had taken aim at me and Sun Heng, they did not hesitate, and opened fire.

  The bullet flew accurately towards me and Sun Heng, hitting the bulletproof glass and bouncing back, disappearing into unknown directions. The mark left by the bullet on the bulletproof glass was right in front of my eyes; if it weren't for the bulletproof glass, the bullet would have definitely hit my head.

  Sun Heng's car backed up and crashed into the car driven by Qi Yanjun, then suddenly stopped. I only felt that my body was out of control, and my forehead also hit the windshield in front of me.

  Sun Heng saw the difficulty and retreated, then suddenly shifted gears and accelerated, changing from retreat to advance. The whole car rushed out like an arrow. He was going to change from being passive to active, using our Land Rover to collide with the BMW and Chery, and force the attacking BMW driver and Chery driver to retreat.

  The BMW driver and the Chery driver, seeing this, immediately dodged to one side, narrowly avoiding the Range Rover that was heading towards them. Their movements were very skilled, looking like they weren't ordinary people, possibly really being those legendary professional killers who kill for money.

  The Land Rover shot out like an arrow under Sun Heng's driving, and soon collided with the BMW. Sun Heng's driving skills were excellent, and at the moment of collision, he suddenly slammed on the brakes, causing the front of the Land Rover to dip slightly before he immediately released the brakes and floored it, sending the vehicle flying forward again.

  I only felt like I was floating on clouds and fog, my whole body had a kind of weightless feeling. Then I thought the Land Rover's chassis was hit by something, the Land Rover suddenly shook violently to the left and right, followed by another up-and-down shake, and then I felt the car had safely "landed".

  Sun Heng successfully drove the Land Rover past the blockade line of BMW and Chery, but there was a small problem in the middle: due to the short acceleration time, the distance was also shortened, so the speed of the Land Rover did not meet the requirements. As a result, after taking off, the height of the flight was a bit low, causing the chassis of the Land Rover to scrape against the roof of the BMW. Fortunately, it wasn't scraped too badly, otherwise we might have ended up with a car flip and casualties...

  At this time, Zhai Yanjun and others also reacted. I heard the sound of gunfire coming from their side, seemingly exchanging fire with the two people who ambushed us.

  Sun Heng's face turned iron-green, and he said in a cold voice while driving: "Leave these two people to Colonel Qi and his men to clean up, we need to get out of here quickly."

  I couldn't bear it in my heart: "Aren't we going to help?"

  Sun Heng shook his head and said heavily, "I'm worried that it's not just these two killers who have come. If there are others, we'd better leave now, or else we'll be in even greater danger if we're surrounded."

  I took a glance back and insisted, "But we can't just leave Captain Qi and the others unattended, can we? They came to help us, now we're not even concerned about their lives or deaths. What would others think?"

  Sun Heng looked at me and stopped the car, saying very seriously: "You need to know that our mission this time is to escort you to the headquarters of the 1008th Regiment. The only task for all of us is this, even if it means risking our lives, we must complete the mission. If we go back now, maybe Captain Qi and the others will be fine, but if we delay and something unexpected happens to you..."

  "I hastened to say: 'This is my own responsibility. Now I only ask you to go and help Qi Camp first, as for my safety, I think the more people protecting me, the safer I will be.'"

  Sun Heng looked at me deeply and said to 8009 and 8000: "You two go help, the battle must be ended as soon as possible."

  8009 and 8000 pushed open the car door and rushed down to quickly rush towards the two people who were attacking us.

  Sun Heng suddenly whispered to me: "Thank you. Actually, you didn't have to take the risk of doing this..."

  I shook my head: "You've done enough for me, I can't be too selfish. Besides, those two people are really too powerful, just one encounter and they killed 8005 and 8007, then they killed Feng Dayuan again, and attacked us. I'm worried that Qi Yinglong and the other three aren't their match, we need to send a few more people to help."

  Sun Heng nodded: "You're right. These two people shouldn't be ordinary, judging from their skills, they might be professional killers. These professional killers view human life as worthless, and always kill for money, regardless of right or wrong. This time, the Wanlong Association has put a high price on your head, it seems like many people will come to trouble you."

  I was secretly anxious, but on the surface I remained relatively calm: "I hope our helper can arrive a little earlier."

  As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a sound coming from the left window of our Land Rover. I quickly looked in that direction and saw a faint light flashing in a small patch of grass on our left side before it disappeared.

  Sun Heng hastily made me bow my head, he took a look at the grass on the left and whispered: "It's a sniper! If it weren't for the bulletproof glass, this shot would have taken our lives."

  I felt a chill run down my spine, and forced a smile: "They didn't expect our car to be modified, so they lost their chance."

  Sun Heng couldn't laugh, nervously staring at the grass bushes on his left, quietly pulling out a handgun and a flashlight from his body, and quietly opening a gap in the window next to him, holding the flashlight with one hand and firing several bullets with the other.

  I watched as the bullets hit some of the small grasses in the clump, but I didn't see any human figures. The car's headlights weren't shining directly at the clump on the left side, so it was hard to make out what was going on inside the clump.

  Sun Heng shone his flashlight around, but still couldn't find anything, so he had to stare carefully. Because of the bulletproof glass, the sniper didn't fire again recklessly, probably waiting for an opportunity.

  I rather regret having stood out in the first place; otherwise, I wouldn't be hunted down by the Ten Dragons Society now and wouldn't have to be so nervous all the time.

  But there is no regret medicine in this world, things have become like this, and it's useless to regret, can only think of ways to ensure one's own safety.

  Snipers and ordinary gunmen are beyond our control, but if they have weapons like rocket-propelled grenades, we're still in great danger. Bulletproof glass is not omnipotent; with just one rocket-propelled grenade, this Land Rover, along with us, will be sent to heaven together.

  Sun Heng thought of this problem before I did. He observed for a while and then said: "We can't stay in the car anymore, we have to leave immediately."

  I disagree: "What about Battalion Commander Na and 8000/8009?"

  "Now the only way is to contact the group department and let them send some more people over. I don't know when the helicopter will arrive, as long as it arrives, we can leave here."

  I shouldn't have said much, but now we are in a precarious situation and everyone must work together to fight against the enemy in order to ensure there is a chance of escape. So I racked my brains, thinking day and night, trying to come up with a plan to help us get out of danger.

  The first thing that came to my mind was: we've been too passive here, we must take the initiative if we want a chance to escape. But wanting to leave this place isn't that simple. Not to mention the unknown future, even now, if we want to leave, we'll have to wait for Captain Qi and the others to arrive first.

  Just then, I heard a voice coming from the bushes on our left: "Jin Cang, you can't escape, hurry up and surrender, otherwise we'll use rocket shells. We'll send you and your car to heaven together, and you'll be dead without a whole body."

  Sun Heng furrowed his brow: "Rocket bullet? This is going to be a problem..."

  My heart skipped a beat, but I shook my head: "It seems they don't have rocket-propelled grenades; otherwise, they would have used them already... Or maybe they just don't dare to do so. Ah, I get it - they want to use my corpse to exchange for money, and can't blow me up beyond recognition, or else the people from Wan Long will be unable to identify who I am, and they won't be able to get any money."

  Sun Heng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "That's right. If we don't get off the bus, they can't do anything to us."

  I took a glance at the grass on my left and suddenly had an epiphany in my rapidly spinning brain: "It seems they're planning to lure the tiger away from its mountain, dispersing our forces. Once we fall into their trap and escape by car, they'll use sniper rifles to pick us off one by one. That way, they can easily take care of all of us without breaking a sweat."

  Sun Heng nodded: "Unfortunately, they didn't think that we wouldn't leave the car first, but instead sent someone down after arriving here. And the two of us remained on the car, making their plan fall through."

  I sighed: "Unfortunately, we were still caught in their trick at the beginning, and Feng Danyuan and 8005, 8007 died under their guns."

  Sun Heng silently lowered his head: "It's all my fault, if I hadn't let them go down to take a look, this wouldn't have happened."

  I didn't know how to comfort him, so I just whispered: "How can you blame yourself? It's those killers, they're too cunning."

  Sun Heng took a deep breath and calmed down: "You watch that clump of grass over there, I'll try to contact Captain Qi and the others, see if we can get them to come over. We can't let them scatter us."

  I nodded, shone my flashlight at the grass thicket, and carefully watched for any movement on that side.

  Sun Heng tried several times but was unable to get through to Qi Yingchang's phone and had no choice but to give up.

  At this time, someone shouted loudly: "Jin Cang, do you know how many people want your life now? I'll tell you, even if you escape from here, you won't make it to the 1008 team's headquarters. On this road alone, at least fifty people are waiting for your life. You can't run away, listen to my advice, you're a dead man anyway, why not get off the car and follow us? Maybe I'll even let you keep your whole corpse. If you fall into the hands of the Wan Long Hui, then you'll be unable to live or die!"

  I was secretly anxious, and at least part of what this person said was true. It's possible that right now there are dozens of people waiting to take my life.

  Sun Heng shouted loudly: "Don't try to scare me, I've been in the army for over a decade, fought battles and killed people. You think a few words can scare me? If you have the guts, come out and see if I can kill you with one shot."

  The person opposite him fell silent for a moment, then sneered coldly: "I've long heard that you, Sun Heng, are a formidable figure. Now it seems that's all there is to it! You're so easily agitated by just a few words from me, and yet you dare to curse at people. It looks like you're nothing but a brainless softie. If you have the guts, come out and face me in person, let me experience your ferocity for myself."

  Sun Heng sneered, "Don't try this crap on me, I'll let you know how formidable I am. But not now, wait until our reinforcements arrive, and there will be plenty of opportunities for you to witness my prowess."

  I know Sun Heng is taking the opportunity to determine the specific location of the other party, so I also said: "What are you guys? Why do you want to kill me? Are you all dare to do it for money? I'm just a student, and I haven't done anything that hurts heaven and reason. What deep hatred do you have with me that makes you want to kill me?"

  That man burst out laughing and said, "It seems you're really just a student after all. The intelligence from the Wanlong Association was wrong. If it weren't for the astronomical price they put on your head to kill you, I wouldn't have bothered you at all. To be honest with you, the Wanlong Association has issued a wanted order to hunt you down and is offering a reward of 5 million dollars for your head. We're just some people from the jianghu who don't care about anything else as long as we can make money. If you want to be sensible, then come out yourself. After I get the money, I'll send a portion of it to your parents so they can live comfortably in their old age. But if we catch you ourselves, then sorry, your parents won't get anything."

  I want to add a few more sentences, Sun Heng has already fired his gun decisively. The moment the gunshot rang out, I heard the person who was speaking let out a pained cry, seemingly hit by the bullet.
