Chapter 228

Interception

Only now did Qi Shao realize how terribly wrong he had been.

There's no need for any killing intent perception or battlefield intuition gained from years of experience.

Even a rich young master like him, who had never experienced combat, could feel that terrifying sense of oppression.

His fingers trembled as he gripped the hem of Cai Chengfu's clothes beside him, while his other hand tightly covered his mouth, his fingers digging into the flesh of his cheek, afraid that he would cry out.

Cai Chengfu's forehead was also covered in fine sweat. He glanced down at the boy tugging at his clothes and sighed inwardly, "What kind of recruits start by fighting this stuff?"

Han Che looked at Xiao Bai, whose expression was also not good. Noticing Han Che's gaze, she turned her head and exchanged glances with him.

After this scene is over, Xiao Bai will probably no longer doubt that Han Che is the warden, since they both appeared at the same time.

Han Che was thrilled. He never expected that seeing himself from the perspective of a "victim" would be so oppressive. Shi Dingzhen was really giving him face. This entrance was so cool!

Now, we've saved face and substance, everything's perfect. All we have to do is wait for Shi Ding and the others to leave, and this operation will be a complete success!

Like the others, Han Che pressed himself against the wall, feigning nervousness and fear, silently muttering to himself,

"Shi Ding is quite the actor; he puts on a very convincing show."

"Even the killing intent is so real, very much in my style!"

Cai Chengfu would not place his hopes on the enemy.

He crouched behind the wall, his fingers gripping the pin of a grenade, his eyes fixed on the corridor outside the door.

The warden's group was packed tightly together, with seven people crammed into the corridor with almost no gaps, making it the perfect time to strike.

His fingers hooked the pull ring, and he pulled hard. With a click, the ring came off. His fingers gripped the safety lever, and he reached out from beside the door frame and gave it a forceful flick.

The grenade flew from his hand, spinning in the air and tracing an arc before falling into the middle of the warden's ranks.

Contrary to Cai Chengfu's expectations, the grenade did not explode within the warden's ranks.

The warden quickly determined the trajectory of the grenade through the observation window of his shield, then slightly adjusted the angle of the shield and slammed it down, knocking the grenade aside.

The grenade rolled to a corner and exploded with a bang, while the warden, who stood in the center of the group, remained silent and composed throughout, coldly observing everything.

Seeing this, Cai Chengfu's eyelids twitched. He turned his face and whispered, "Li Hao..."

Li Hao turned around upon hearing the voice, and Cai Chengfu continued, "Is that guy always like this? Does his guard protect him from projectiles?"

Li Hao's expression was solemn. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still nodded.

"What should we do..." Cai Chengfu felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness, something he had never experienced in all his time operating in dangerous areas.

After thinking for a moment, Li Hao said, "I'll peek out and help you pull the wire along the wall. You take the opportunity to throw the grenade into their formation. The only exit is now blocked by them. If you want to escape, this is the only way."

Cai Chengfu felt that letting Li Hao peek out was a very dangerous move, but he had no better options and could only acquiesce.

Hearing this plan, Xiao Bai chimed in, "Old Zhou, Han Che, let's peek out and fire with Li Hao, sharing the firepower. If two people peek out from different positions at the same time, even the warden, no matter how powerful, can't kill them all at once, right?"

Han Che silently agreed. That was a good idea. A preference for game novels? Click to enter your exclusive library! After all, it was Shi Ding outside, not himself. But even if it were him, it would be difficult to explode at the same time.

Okay, that's not bad either. When the grenade explodes, it will force Shi Ding and the others to retreat. That will be the end of the show, and we can wrap it up. Let's do as they say.

The five men leaned against the wall, adjusting their postures, holding their breath, and exchanging glances. Li Hao placed three fingers on his chest.

Three, two, one!

The Westerners simultaneously peeked out from the windows on both sides of the room's main entrance and opened fire on the warden's guards from two different directions.

At this distance, you don't need to aim; just hold down the trigger, and you can definitely hit a target as big as the guards.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

The bullets struck the two shields at the front of the warden's personal guard, sending up countless sparks.

Cai Chengfu seized the opportunity during the brief moment when the shields were unable to adjust their angle freely due to the need to block fire.

He immediately threw another grenade from the doorway.

Contrary to their expectations, the Westerners' firepower did not force the warden to shoot them in the head.

On the contrary, the row of rifle guards in the back raised their rifles, their blinding gun lights glaring at the Westerners' vision, and then immediately opened fire.

Cai Chengfu's eyes widened. In his field of vision, the grenade flew very slowly, so slowly that he could see every spin of it, as if time had stopped.

The two shields were pinned down by bullets and unable to move, while the warden and his personal guard maintained their tight formation.

Success!

Just as Cai Chengfu was secretly pleased, the grenade reached its highest point.

boom!

A large fireball exploded in mid-air before it even reached the warden's formation.

Cai Chengfu's pupils contracted violently in the reflection of the explosion's flames, and a red laser pierced through the flames, pointing at his forehead.

Da da da da!

The riflemen's bullets, gleaming white from their guns, pierced through the smoke and fire, returning all the Westerners' firepower to their own.

A sudden, tremendous force pulled Cai Chengfu's arm, causing him to stagger and fall to the side.

Bang! A bullet, trailing a long contrail, flew along the red laser beam and passed over Cai Chengfu's tilted head.

However, one of the stray bullets still struck his upper arm, causing blood to flow immediately.

A barrage of bullets flew from the warden's guards, passing through the doorways and windows of the room, ricocheting between the walls and the servers, causing short circuits that continuously sputtered sparks, and for a moment the room was filled with gunpowder smoke and the smell of burning.

Both teams crawled back into their bunkers, pressing themselves tightly against the wall.

Fortunately, the armor worked, stopping most of the bullets. Almost all the Westerners were wounded, but fortunately, they were all just grazes.

The sound of bullets whizzing through the air rang out overhead. Li Hao swung his arm, having been shot, but his eyes remained fixed on the unfocused Cai Chengfu.

"Brother Cai! What's wrong? Cheer up!"

Li Hao's hands were quick as well. He rapidly squeezed Cai Chengfu's wound, while his other hand rummaged in his ammunition pouch for a tourniquet. He pulled it out, bit one end, threaded the tourniquet through the upper arm, around the cut, and tightened it by rotating the wrench. Cai Chengfu winced in pain, his face turning even paler.

But the blood finally stopped gushing out, and Li Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, inserting the winch into the slot to secure it.
