931: Chapter 921: Farewell, Test Tube.
Sarin, those who know this word also know what this name means.
Sarin, the English name for a chemical weapon, a nerve agent.
In military use, sarin exists in the form of a solid or a vapor-liquid mixture, which is dispersed by explosive force upon being fired.
Inhaling even a small amount of sarin gas can kill a person within minutes.
If one is exposed to a large dose of sarin in solid, liquid, or gaseous form, death usually occurs within two minutes, although a few may die in about one minute, with the slowest dying in fifteen minutes, depending on the dose of sarin they come into contact with or inhale.
You will die if you inhale sarin gas, and you will also die if your skin comes into contact with sarin.
Everything about sarin flashed through Gao Yang’s mind, and he yelled as he threw himself at Bruce.
“Don’t come over!
I’m done for, I have, at most, one minute, run!
Run!”
Bruce spoke very fast!
“Ah!”
Lucica stared blankly at Bruce, then let out a loud cry and was about to run towards him, but she was grabbed by Glolov, while it was Tommy who grabbed Gao Yang.
“Stop!
Run!”
Glolov shouted with all his strength.
Bruce’s face was streaked with tears as he yelled at Lucica, “Honey, I love you!
Take care of our child and my mom, now run!”
Bruce’s voice was full of despair, crying out as Lucica let out another desperate shout and tried to push away Glolov, who was holding on to her clothes.
After a brief moment of chaos, Gao Yang’s mind quickly calmed down.
He suppressed his despair and panic and roared, “Run, we count as many as get out!”
Jansen was breaking down, he yelled and lunged towards Bruce, but was held back by Eileen.
“Bruce!
Bruce!”
Lucica cried out in despair.
She struggled so hard that even Glolov, using all his strength, could barely hold onto her.
At that moment, Li Jinfang appeared in front of Lucica, raised his right hand, and chopped down at the junction of her neck and the back of her head with a hand blade.
Li Jinfang’s hand blade struck down, and Lucica’s cries abruptly stopped as her body went limp.
“Rabbit!”
Glolov held Lucica, while Li Jinfang called out to Cui Bo.
Cui Bo threw his precision rifle to Li Jinfang and moved to carry Lucica on his back, away from Glolov and Li Jinfang, who caught the rifle with one hand.
Glolov, holding the unconscious Lucica, placed her on Cui Bo’s back.
Everyone looked towards Bruce.
Bruce cried out, “Don’t let me die in vain!
Goodbye, guys, run!
Run for your lives!”
Frey’s trembling voice filled with sobs only managed to say, “Test Tube, Test Tube!
What do we do?
What do we do!”
“Goodbye, Test Tube.”
After saying this, Cui Bo carrying Lucica on his back took off running.
Li Jinfang glanced back at Bruce, clenched his teeth, slung the precision rifle over his shoulder, took up the rifle, and followed Cui Bo, running outside.
As he ran out, he shouted, “Go!”
Andy He and Eileen, dragging the collapsing Jansen, ran out; as they turned, they grabbed the dazed Frey and cried out with sobs, “Goodbye, Test Tube.”
Glolov yelled at Gao Yang, “Go!”
Bruce spoke very quickly to Gao Yang, “Boss, you were right, I was wrong.
We shouldn’t have taken this job.
Run now, run fast, don’t think about avenging me, get Lucica home, take her home, help me take care of Lucica, damn it, run!”
Tommy yanked on Gao Yang, and Rafael came over to pull Gao Yang away, but Gao Yang waved them off, pushed them back, and saluted Bruce.
Bruce’s face was full of reluctance as he quickly said, “Boss, go start our company.
Stop thinking about revenge; surviving is what’s most important.
Get out of here.
Boss, you saved my life, now I’m giving you a chance to live.
Boss, run!
I’m grateful to have been with you and the brothers until now, really, but don’t just stand there like a fool!”
Gao Yang said with a trembling voice, “Bruce, it was an honor to have fought alongside you!”
Gao Yang knew he had to run, but as he looked at Bruce, his feet simply couldn’t move.
Everyone spoke rapidly, and their movements were just as swift.
Despite the abundance of dialogue and events, only twenty seconds had passed.
Or to put it another way, twenty seconds had already gone by.
White foam began to emanate from Bruce’s nose and mouth because of the Sarin, his tears, mucus, and saliva all starting to flow.
Bruce’s body began to convulse uncontrollably, but he managed to give a wry smile and said intermittently, “It’s aerosolized Sarin, thank God, it’s not a high-pressure gas…
Run…
I’ve lost control of my body, run, don’t think about revenge, start our company, you, you guys better fucking run…”
Tommy pulled Gao Yang once more, and Gao Yang stamped his foot, turned, and ran, with Tommy, Glolov, and Rafael finally sprinting alongside him.
As they burst out of the factory doors, Gao Yang couldn’t help but look up to the sky and roar, “Farewell, Test Tube!”
Bruce gave a faint smile, but no one could see it anymore since his mouth and nose were already smothered with foam.
After that smile, Bruce tried to say farewell, but he couldn’t utter a word.
After making two meaningless sounds, Bruce’s body, lying atop the rockets, became still.
He was dead.
Outside the factory, the gunfire had ceased, and all the enemies had fled.
The members of Satan Mercenary Corps waited, their vehicle already started.
The armored off-road was already driving out, stopped outside the factory doors, with Li Jinfang on the machine-gun pickup, yelling from the open door, “Get in the car and go!”
Gao Yang slid into the car through the opened door, Glolov and Rafael rolled into the back, and Tommy hopped into the bed of the mortar pickup.
After everyone was aboard, the car sped away.
Seeing that everyone was in, the off-road that had been waiting at the entrance made a screeching noise as it drove off down the main road.
A few hundred meters along the main road, Gao Yang could even see the tail lights of the vehicles ahead.
The armed personnel who had evacuated from the factory were only a few dozen seconds ahead of Gao Yang’s group.
Frey, at the forefront in the off-road vehicle, suddenly shouted, “I see the tail lights of the cars ahead!”
Gao Yang bellowed, “Catch up with them, take them out!”
The off-road vehicle was clearly accelerating, but suddenly sparks flew from the front of the vehicle, and the windshield quickly became dotted with white marks as a fire position along the roadside opened fire on the off-road.
While the off-road could push through relying on its bulletproof capabilities, the two pickups behind couldn’t.
Li Jin hit the brakes and stopped the pickup, and right away, Glolov fired the heavy machine gun mounted on the vehicle, quickly taking out two machine-gun positions shielded by sandbags.
However, there were too many people along the side of the road to force through.
The off-road vehicle stopped sideways in the middle of the road, and then the doors on the side out of the enemy’s range opened, with several people getting out and using the vehicle as cover to shoot at the enemy.
Gao Yang discarded his Shotgun, and after getting out with the Blade of Satan, he kneeled on one knee and unleashed his sorrow and rage towards the enemy.
At that moment, Andy He urgently said over the radio, “Sarin has already leaked.
The gas-liquid state of sarin will vaporize even faster.
Test Tube managed to block the leak in time, so the amount of poison gas from a single hole can’t be too significant.
But, you must tell me, if you feel any abnormalities in your bodies!”
Bruce saved everyone except himself.
Weapon-grade sarin, for the ease of storage, transport, and use, is generally not employed in a high-pressure gaseous form but rather as a solid mixed with gas and liquid for ammunition.
Once dispersed by an explosion, some will vaporize very quickly, while some toxin will still exist in solid or liquid form, continuously contaminating the battlefield.
What Gao Yang and his team encountered was merely a chemical weapons leak, not an exploding Sharin Rocket.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have to grieve, for they would surely be dead.
Moreover, Bruce had directly plugged the leaking hole with his hand, allowing no time for the gas to escape, not even a second.
If Bruce hadn’t used his life to block the sarin leak and had tried to plug it with something else, they would also be dead.
The Sharin Rocket leaked through a hole in the factory, firstly, the leak wouldn’t be rapid, and secondly, the toxic gas wouldn’t quickly disperse in the wind.
Therefore, in a short time, there wouldn’t be significant danger hundreds of meters away from the factory.
Gao Yang and the others had inhaled an extremely tiny amount of sarin gas, truly minute, but it was enough to cause his tears to flow, saliva to over-secrete, forcing him to spit constantly, and additionally, he felt a slight difficulty in breathing.
The minuscule amount of sarin he had inhaled was already taking effect, though not fatally so.
“Tears, increased saliva, difficulty breathing.”
Gao Yang said between firing each shot, killing three more people after he finished speaking.
As Gao Yang reloaded with a new magazine, Andy He urgently said, “I don’t feel anything unusual, Boss, you’ve stayed inside the factory too long.
Without knowing how much sarin you’ve inhaled, it would be better to inject the antidote.
Atropine will do!
Especially for those of you who were exposed longer to the toxic gas, you need atropine more.
It’s a standard emergency drug.
Find Test Tube’s emergency kit; he certainly has atropine!”
Gao Yang said gravely, “We’re not going to die, there’s no hurry.
Let’s finish off the roadblocks first!”
After Gao Yang emptied his second magazine, no one could stop them anymore.
Glolov shouted from the pickup, “Retreat quickly!
This place is not safe!”
Gao Yang wiped his tears and spat out saliva, feeling his vision blur slightly, likely due to his pupils shrinking under the influence of the sarin.
After taking a breath, Gao Yang said in a deep voice, “Get in the car, break out, leave the Rebel Army controlled territory.
Assault team, there are definitely survivors among the enemy, catch a couple for me to bring along.”
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang spotted two people leaping from behind cover to flee in his scope.
Gao Yang didn’t rush to shoot; he waited till the two were completely exposed in the scope before pulling the trigger.
Due to the constriction of the airways leading to labored breathing, Gao Yang had to breathe more rapidly, which made his breath come hurriedly, thus affecting his shooting accuracy.
However, Gao Yang only wasted two bullets and still hit the thighs of the fleeing targets.
After catching his breath, Gao Yang said gravely, “See those two deserters?
Assault team, take them with us, and be careful!” (To be continued.
