Chapter 285 - 283: A Thrilling Scene
"Ah..."
Chen Tianlong let out a painful roar, his entire body tensing up like steel, bracing himself against the truck opposite. Instantly, a huge dent appeared on the truck’s body.
At this moment, everything seemed to stop. Zhang Yufei and Zhao Bing in the car widened their eyes. Although they had secured their seatbelts, their hands still clutched the seats tightly to prevent themselves from being flung out.
Chen Tianlong’s hands slammed into the truck, causing it to tilt momentarily. The right side of the truck, along with its wheels, lifted about half a meter off the ground, teetering on the brink of a single-wheel overturn.
But a few seconds later, the truck landed back on the ground.
The entire moment happened in a flash, lasting only three seconds. The impact force on Chen Tianlong was unimaginable, something only he knew.
However, what Zhao Bing and Zhang Yufei never expected was that Chen Tianlong’s strike had snatched their lives back from Death God’s clutches. They all knew they had narrowly escaped the gates of hell.
Anyone who has driven knows that a ninety-degree drift at this speed requires a certain distance to buffer.
After Chen Tianlong’s strike, his body was pressed by the strong reaction force against the window frame. Seen from the outside, the police car’s roof had been deeply crushed inward.
It was precisely this reaction force that significantly reduced the car’s drift speed, and combined with Zhang Yufei’s superb driving skills, they narrowly missed the truck.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief while the truck driver was also startled, not knowing what had just happened.
"Phew... that was close just now!"
As the car continued to drive smoothly, Zhao Bing took a deep breath, suddenly recalled Chen Tianlong outside the window, and quickly leaned out, shouting, "Chen Tianlong, are you okay?"
"Cough cough cough... pfft!"
Chen Tianlong coughed a few times, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face somewhat pale. Zhao Bing was shocked, quickly jumped from the car to Chen Tianlong’s side, and pulled him back inside.
When Chen Tianlong sat down, he took a deep breath, clearly injured heavily, his hands trembling, feeling somewhat exhausted.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly the rear windshield began to rattle again. Zhao Bing looked out, realizing the black Mercedes had caught up again.
He was quite frustrated; this car was like a ghost, constantly following them, leaving him helpless.
However, they still had two gunmen left, Zhao Bing thought. If he could take out the one with the machine gun, the others without bullets wouldn’t be much of a concern, considering two pistols can’t cause much trouble.
Thinking of this, Zhao Bing glanced at the pistol beside Chen Tianlong, then coldly smiled, grabbed the pistol, and handed his own to Zhang Yufei, who was driving.
"Yufei, later drive a bit slower, the closer we are to the enemies, the better."
Zhao Bing didn’t explain, continuing, "Later, pretend to extend your hand with the gun outside, distract them, fire a few shots, then quickly take it back."
"Got it, boss."
Zhang Yufei roughly understood Director Zhao’s intentions, wanting to seize the opportunity to divert their attention, allowing him to ambush the machine gunner.
Zhang Yufei wasted no time, gradually slowing the car down, and in an instant, the Mercedes caught up.
However, at that moment, Zhang Yufei quickly extended the pistol outside, aimed through the rearview mirror, and pulled the trigger. The machine gunner quickly ducked, then quickly emerged, preparing to shoot at Zhang Yufei’s position.
But just at this moment, Zhao Bing leaned out from the right car door, coldly smiling, swiftly pulling the trigger twice. Instantly, two bullets sped towards the machine gunner.
In fact, Zhao Bing’s actions had been noticed by the handgun-wielding thug behind the machine gunner, but the thug’s hand wasn’t quick enough. He only fired one shot.
Or perhaps he thought Zhao Bing only fired once, not expecting two shots, and due to the rapid trigger pull, the gunshots almost sounded as one, easily confusing people.
The result was inevitable; the first bullet was dodged by the machine gunner, but the second bullet directly penetrated the machine gunner’s head. The machine gunner toppled from the car, rolling on the ground for a bit before dying.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Yufei abruptly halted the car sideways since the adverse situation had reversed. They were left with only one armed thug and a driver.
In Zhang Yufei’s view, the driver should only be a driver, even if armed, probably not very skilled.
"Yufei, don’t go out!" Suddenly, Chen Tianlong whispered, though he felt intense pain, he could still observe the situation inside the opponent’s car.
The driver smirked with a trace of anger, sending chills down Chen Tianlong’s spine, making him feel this person was extraordinary.
Sure enough, the opponent’s car had stopped as well, but the driver was nowhere to be seen, while the armed thug was slowly approaching, looking very arrogant, as if knowing Zhao Bing and the others were out of bullets.
Chen Tianlong was worried; he just saw the driver, so why did he disappear in the blink of an eye? Could he be hiding, planning a surprise attack?
Zhang Yufei initially thought about opening the door to confront those two, as he and Director Zhao weren’t pushovers. Just two gunmen with pistols thought they could handle them, which was absurd.
Without the machine gun and heavy weaponry, Zhao Bing and Zhang Yufei, both police officers, had no reason to fear. They exited the car, taking cover beside it, slowly moving towards the back.
Chen Tianlong was frustrated; why wouldn’t Zhang Yufei listen? His concern wasn’t the armed thug, but the mysterious driver.
Looking around in the car, apart from an empty gun, there was almost nothing useful.
Seeing the armed thug getting closer, Zhang Yufei suddenly leapt out, and the thug immediately shot at her.
But it wasn’t so easy to hit; Zhang Yufei did it on purpose, jumping out, immediately dropping to the ground, and rolling a few times.
Meanwhile, Zhao Bing leaped onto the hood, using the momentum to propel himself forward like a hunting leopard, instantly taking down the thug and following up with a punch to the face.
With just that, the thug fainted.
Zhao Bing took a deep breath, relaxing instantly. Zhang Yufei also smiled slightly, got up, and walked towards Zhao Bing, extending a hand, "Boss, get up, we still have work to do."
"Hmm."
Zhao Bing didn’t linger either, smiled slightly, extended his hand, and prepared to stand up.
Suddenly, Zhao Bing felt something was wrong. Just then, a figure swiftly dashed from the bushes, immediately firing at Zhang Yufei.
"Yufei, watch out!"
Zhao Bing shouted as he pounced towards Zhang Yufei.
"Bang!"
The bullet hit Zhao Bing’s left shoulder directly, a wave of excruciating pain spreading through him.
At this moment, Pan Shi seized the opportunity to sprint over, preparing to shoot at the two on the ground again.
But at this critical moment, a black object suddenly flew out from nowhere, its speed startling.
