425: Chapter 422: Transformation, Berserker Rabbit.
Lucica translated every word she heard, but it wasn’t really necessary to say much—the gunfire had made what happened painfully clear.
Gao Yang’s mind went blank; the Chameleon had killed Lucas without even asking a question.
In a way, it was actually a good thing for him since Lucas wouldn’t have let them get exposed.
However, a favorable situation didn’t make Gao Yang feel relieved—on the contrary, he was now angry.
“F*ck your mother!”
Gao Yang was angry, but his anger was nothing compared to Cui Bo’s.
Upon hearing the gunshots, Cui Bo was momentarily stunned, but then, after cursing loudly, he suddenly got up and bolted out.
Gao Yang saw trouble brewing and immediately reached out to grab Cui Bo, but he failed to catch him.
When a person is extremely angry, their intelligence drops to zero and it takes a full minute to recover.
So, the furious Cui Bo was completely devoid of reason and intelligence at that moment.
Cui Bo ran out in a few strides and upon reaching the outside, immediately opened fire on the crowd gathered around the Chameleon.
Cui Bo’s action caught both friends and foes off guard.
When the furious Cui Bo ran out, all Gao Yang could do was shout into the walkie-talkie, “We’re taking fire!
Engage, engage!”
Forgetting all tactics and not thinking about burst firing, all Cui Bo wanted was to kill the Chameleon.
He held down the trigger, unleashing a hail of bullets on the crowd, but the Chameleon was surrounded by many people.
Cui Bo’s gunfire took down six or seven individuals, yet the Chameleon still stood his ground.
The Phantom Mercenary Group was thrown into chaos by the sudden attack, but they still had combat effectiveness.
Although everyone instinctively scattered, they quickly retrieved their guns, preparing to strike back at Cui Bo.
Meanwhile, the person who had just killed Lucas was already armed with a loaded pistol.
In less than thirty meters, Cui Bo emptied a magazine in a sweeping spray, knocking down six people.
But as he was reloading, the same person who had killed Lucas raised his pistol and fired two shots at Cui Bo.
The event unfolded too quickly.
When the pistol fired, Gao Yang had also reached the outside, and then he saw Cui Bo’s body jolt twice in succession, hit by two bullets.
However, Cui Bo didn’t fall but staggered backward a step.
Standing at the doorway with no cover, Cui Bo not only blocked the firing line and the route for Gao and his team but was also in a highly disadvantageous position.
However, Cui Bo, with his rage-blinded eyes and his loss of reason, could hardly think straight.
Cui Bo stood still, foolishly exposed under the Phantom Mercenary Group’s gun barrels.
As the pistol-wielder was about to fire a third shot, Cui Bo finally finished reloading.
But by then, the Chameleon had already turned and run away, and most of the enemies, after their initial panic, had finally aimed their guns at him, and the clamor of weapons being cocked filled the air.
As Gao Yang burst through the door and rounded past Cui Bo, the enemy was already in a position to open fire.
At that moment, Gao Yang’s shotgun finally roared to life, and with every blast, a person was blown to pieces, collapsing amidst flying blood and flesh.
Right on his heels, Sirte also charged out, his gunfire as rapid as Gao Yang’s.
All Cui Bo could see was the Chameleon, whose characteristic white short-sleeved T-shirt stood out starkly against the others in their camouflage uniforms.
After reloading, Cui Bo actually broke into a sprint, chasing after the fleeing Chameleon.
Gao Yang and Sirte were kneeling on one knee as they fired, less than thirty meters from the enemy.
At this critical juncture, exchanging fire was the only option, and their storm-like shotgun blasts meant that most of the Phantom mercenaries didn’t even have the chance to shoot, or if they did manage to fire a shot or two, their heads were instantly blown apart.
Gao Yang and Sirte had one thing in common when they fired: they both preferred to target the head rather than the torso.
Yet, with unerring accuracy, each pull of the trigger was certain to bring someone down.
Even in the deadly exchange of fire with the enemy, Gao Yang still had to watch out for Cui Bo.
Seeing Cui Bo rush towards the Chameleon again without any attempt to dodge or hide, Gao Yang was truly panicked, frustrated beyond measure.
Cui Bo was already less than thirty meters from the Phantoms, a distance dangerously close.
With the enemies poised to shoot at such range, it was unthinkable for them to miss.
And as Cui Bo ran at full speed, that distance was closing fast.
Cui Bo was blinded by rage, his eyes bloodshot, oblivious to the threat around him, focusing solely on the white-shirted Chameleon dodging and weaving down the street, running in an S-pattern until he was some sixty or seventy meters away.
Compelled beyond control, Cui Bo chased after him.
While the Phantom Mercenary Group was stunned by the onslaught and reduced to only five members by Gao Yang and Sirte’s gunfire, they weren’t so incompetent as to let Cui Bo just break through.
A Phantom mercenary sprayed Cui Bo with bullets from his AK74.
Though Gao Yang instantly took out the shooter with a headshot, Cui Bo had already plunged forward onto the ground.
Lucica too rushed out, firing her M16, while Bruce provided covering fire from the rooftop.
Joined by the deadly efficiency of Gao Yang and Sirte, each of their shots killing an enemy, the remaining few combatants were annihilated within seconds.
Cui Bo fell at the same time as the last of the Phantom mercenaries were wiped out.
However, the Chameleon got away, and though Lucica fired at his retreating figure, by then the Chameleon had already made it more than a hundred meters away.
Gao Yang didn’t shoot at the Chameleon.
Although Cui Bo’s actions had angered him to no end and thrown the entire plan into disarray, Cui Bo was undoubtedly the person Gao Yang cared about most in this world.
Watching Cui Bo fall felt like plunging into an icy abyss, his soul seemingly shaken from his body.
As Sirte began to shoot at the wounded Phantoms lying on the ground, Gao Yang, jarred into action, bellowed, “Test Tube!
Test Tube!
Save him!”
After shouting twice, Gao Yang quickly ran to Cui Bo’s side, and at that moment, Glolov and the rest also finally made it out.
This encounter, completely outside the scope of their plan, erupted too suddenly and ended just as abruptly.
Of course, it couldn’t have been otherwise: the second Cui Bo lost his temper and charged out, it was sealed to be a chaotic fight that would be over in less than ten seconds.
