Chapter 283 - 281: Counter Pursuit
But now the enemy’s firepower is so fierce. If they really want to kill and silence us, we’re in danger.
Sure enough, after Zhang Yufei accelerated, she still noticed that the black Mercedes behind was relentlessly pursuing them, and it quickly caught up.
"Whoosh!"
Another piercing sound of a projectile being fired. This time, it almost hit their car, just barely brushing past the body, the shockwave rattling the car dangerously.
"Director, this won’t do, we don’t know how many bullets they have in that cannon. The distance is quite far now, but if they catch up later and shoot at us, we’re doomed. What should we do?"
Zhang Yufei, driving the car, was naturally helpless and could only rely on Zhao Bing.
"Yufei, I understand, just focus on driving, leave the rest to me."
Zhao Bing thought for a moment; it was time for them to counterattack. He rolled his eyes and said to Chen Tianlong beside him, "Chen Tianlong, you need to assist later."
"Huh? Alright." Chen Tianlong scratched his head.
"..."
Zhao Bing also had no choice. At such a critical moment, if he was the only one shooting, he couldn’t stick his head out. He needed someone to divert the firepower to have a chance to strike.
"Yufei, how many bullets are left in your gun?" Zhao Bing asked urgently.
"Twenty!"
Zhang Yufei didn’t know what the director intended to do and simply replied.
"Alright, give me the pistol."
Zhao Bing didn’t waste any time and directly said.
Zhang Yufei, still driving, didn’t hesitate. The director asking for the pistol must mean he’s planning to deal with the assailants behind them. So, she took the pistol from the car pocket and handed it to Zhao Bing without delay.
After taking the pistol, Zhao Bing immediately said to Chen Tianlong beside him, "Chen Tianlong, there’s no time. Listen to my command later."
"Got it!"
Chen Tianlong nodded.
"Rat-a-tat-tat..."
At this moment, a burst of machine-gun fire rang out from behind, hitting their police car, creating a clattering sound.
"Alright, get ready, there’s no time. Later, I’ll go out and shoot from the left door, you distract the enemy from the right. Remember to conserve bullets, there are only twenty rounds."
Zhao Bing discussed their plan. The situation was very urgent. If they didn’t quickly take down that cannon, they might soon have to meet King Yama.
This group of people obviously intended to silence them, probably because they mistakenly believed someone in the previous car was recognized by the police.
Zhao Bing guessed correctly; the Pan Brothers had promised Hao Shuai not to let the police know of his whereabouts. However, earlier, they were chased so desperately, and in the rush just now, who knows if Hao Shuai exposed himself.
If they were really recognized by the police and didn’t silence this group, the people they placed in South Sea City would be in danger then.
The Pan Brothers were always meticulous in their actions. Anyway, they believed the dead couldn’t speak.
"Mm."
Although it wasn’t the first time Chen Tianlong had held a gun for real, since the director had entrusted him with the task, he had to pretend somewhat to avoid revealing his identity.
"Chen Tianlong, the cannon shells should be single-shot. After you hear them fire once, we’ll rush out immediately. You cover me; I’ll shoot and take down the gunner, understood?"
Zhao Bing was a sharpshooter. As long as someone covered him, taking down the gunner shouldn’t be a problem. However, besides the gunner, the opponent also had a machine-gunner, who was quite troublesome.
Additionally, there were two with pistols. This lineup was indeed hard to handle.
But they could only fight with all they had. Given this situation, within three minutes, they’d be caught, and the consequences would be severe.
"Understood, alright, let’s begin."
Chen Tianlong deliberately feigned nervousness to prevent Zhang Yufei from discovering his hidden identity.
"Okay, listen to my command later. When I say one, two, three, we rush out and start shooting."
Zhao Bing saw that their car was less than twenty meters away. If they got too close, Zhang Yufei, the driver, would be in danger. If the driver got killed, the car would go out of control, leading to certain death.
"Alright!"
"Prepare! Get ready! One, two, three, go!"
As Zhao Bing shouted, he pushed the car door open, and the two of them, one to the left and one to the right, began shooting towards the enemy behind.
When Chen Tianlong stuck his head out, he didn’t shoot immediately. Given the limited ammunition, he needed to ensure each shot counts.
But he had to act like someone who had never shot a gun before, so he deliberately paused for a few seconds. Just then, a bullet whizzed past his forehead, startling him, and he hurriedly ducked back into the car.
Zhao Bing, thinking Chen Tianlong lacked experience, didn’t blame him and continued to confront the assailants on his own.
However, with four people shooting at them, the firepower was intense. After a while, Zhao Bing ducked back into the car and reloaded.
"Chen Tianlong, when you shoot later, after firing, immediately pull back your head, then hide behind the car door."
After all, Zhao Bing was an experienced director with ample combat experience.
"Got it."
Chen Tianlong nodded. After taking a deep breath, he suddenly stuck his head out and aimed at the machine-gunner in front, firing a shot, but missed, with the bullet just grazing past him.
This was clearly deliberate on Chen Tianlong’s part. At this moment, he was fully embracing his role.
The sudden appearance of Chen Tianlong startled the assailants. Initially, they thought only Zhao Bing was fighting, and with no movement on the other side, they concentrated their fire on Zhao Bing.
Now, with Chen Tianlong’s sudden intervention, they were quite frustrated and quickly split their fire, wildly shooting in Chen Tianlong’s direction.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong had to hide back in the car. He didn’t rush out again but focused intently on the trajectory of the bullets earlier.
Chen Tianlong didn’t continue wasting bullets. Director Zhao was constantly suppressed and had no chance to aim, so he missed despite firing a couple of bursts, which frustrated him.
As the assailants approached again, if they successfully closed in this time, their car would be done for, and they wouldn’t be far from disaster.
In this urgent moment, suddenly the opponent’s cannon dropped to the ground, and the one holding it was obviously killed with a single shot.
