Chapter 346: Chapter 345 Close Quarters Combat
On the island, Jie Er and Jamie watched through the underground control room’s radar scanning equipment as the helicopter was destroyed, and both revealed satisfied smiles simultaneously.
Then the two of them put on their gear and went outside to meet up with Li Xuanyu and the others.
On the ground, the heavy machine guns, aided by the light of flares, locked onto the figures hanging by parachutes in the sky and opened fire ruthlessly.
The enemy hadn’t even landed on the island yet, and more than half were taken out, with every member of the Madman Organization exuding great confidence, but no one let their guard down.
Li Xuanyu instructed, "Among those who just landed, there should still be a few alive, find them and eliminate them as quickly as possible, then we need to retreat from this place."
Umekawa Taro said to Li Xuanyu, "Sister, Jamie, Wang Lei, and I will take care of those people; you lead Jie Er and Jones to retreat first."
Li Xuanyu shook her head, "If we leave, we leave together, I can’t abandon any comrades, we share life and death!"
Everyone was moved, feeling a surge of passion.
This is the real Madman Organization.
In the past, no matter how difficult the task or what adversity faced, Boss Tang never abandoned any members, even often staying behind to take the most dangerous position for himself.
Now, although Boss Tang was not here, Sister was making an effort to implement Boss Tang’s style, maintaining the original intentions of the International Madman Organization.
"OK! If we leave, we leave together; if we die, we die together. Let’s clean up these intruders first and see who actually found this place," Jones said.
The six were of one mind, with Wang Lei and Umekawa Taro leading Zhang Yunlong, while the other four took the lead, searching in the direction where the few surviving parachute figures had landed from the sky.
Near the coast, Jie Er fired a flare into the sky.
With the dazzling light, everyone’s eyes were sharp as they scanned the sea surface, but found nothing.
"Could they all be dead?" Jamie wondered.
"It’s possible, after all, falling from such a height, the water’s surface tension is enormous, under normal circumstances, no one could survive."
"But, these people who dared to come here must all be elite experts, they wouldn’t die so easily on the sea surface."
"Hmm, everyone be careful, they might have already landed on the island."
There was a flurry of discussion amongst them.
Li Xuanyu felt her eyelids twitch, an ominous feeling arose.
She turned vigilant and said solemnly, "It doesn’t matter, we need to evacuate from here first."
No one objected to her command.
Not knowing who the invaders were, they also didn’t harbor too many feelings of hatred.
With Boss Tang absent, Sister was the highest in command, and her word was law.
According to Li Xuanyu’s plan, everyone headed together towards the port of retreat.
There, a yacht loaded with abundant life resources and fuel was prepared, as they had made arrangements for immediate withdrawal upon landing on the island.
"The game has just begun. Up next, you’ll profoundly experience what Divine Continent Country’s old saying means: ’There is no place on earth to stand.’ " Zhang Yunlong, being held captive, suddenly burst out laughing loudly.
He believed that it was Sky Net’s forces in motion to rescue him.
Moreover, he trusted that his grandfather would not give up on him.
"Smack!" Jie Er slapped the back of Zhang Yunlong’s head, angrily saying, "Shut up. Even if Sky Net doesn’t have the capacity to catch us, what does it matter if they discover our whereabouts? To battle with us, the International Madman, Sky Net is not qualified."
Jamie laughed, "Moreover, if we truly have no place to stand, you, Zhang Yunlong, will definitely die before we do."
Zhang Yunlong’s heart sank.
Now that he could not summon his True Qi, he was essentially a useless person, and these members of the International Madman Organization were all top-notch experts. Among them, even at his prime, he might not be able to defeat two in single combat.
Moreover, not only was their Combat Power strong, but they also excelled at using various modern Hot Weapons, and knew how to coordinate in combat teamwork.
Though there were only six of them, when they came together, they were like an invincible force, difficult to handle.
Suddenly, while walking at the rear, Wang Lei and Umekawa Taro felt a surge of alertness and simultaneously looked back.
Two figures, like ghosts, flashed from behind and rushed forward at lightning speed.
"Be careful!"
Wang Lei let out a low roar of warning and at the same time, he and Umekawa Taro both rushed forward to meet those two shadowy figures.
"Thump thump!"
Two muffled sounds rang out, as both Umekawa Taro and Wang Lei were sent flying back, thankfully caught and supported by Jamie and Jie Er.
At the same time, the movement of the two shadowy figures that had rushed over was also halted, pausing for a moment.
"Ratatat!!"
Jamie lifted his muzzle and unleashed a barrage of gunfire.
The muzzle spewed out flames over half a meter long in the night, and bullets whizzed through the air; the two shadowy figures wielded their blades, creating a non-stop clinking sound, unexpectedly forced back by Jamie’s gun.
Li Xuanyu and Jones approached Umekawa Taro and Wang Lei with solemn expressions. Both men looked pale and serious, especially Umekawa Taro, from whose mouth spilled a trickle of fresh blood, clearly having suffered internal injuries.
Everyone was shocked.
Wang Lei and Umekawa Taro were among those with top combat power within the International Madman Organization.
In terms of individual combat strength, these two were the strongest among the current six.
Li Xuanyu even remembered that Yang Fei once told her that Wang Lei’s strength was unfathomable and that he was the most powerful in the team after Yang Fei himself.
But now, even Wang Lei’s complexion was pale, his breath slightly disturbed.
It was clear how formidable the two attackers were.
"Kill them!" shouted Li Xuanyu, shocked and enraged.
Since that previous catastrophe, every member of the International Madman Organization was incredibly precious, and just a moment ago they had almost lost two companions; Li Xuanyu was furious.
"Ratatat!!"
In fact, without the need for Li Xuanyu’s order, the rest had already lifted their muzzles and fired at the two assailants.
The attackers were none other than Zhuge Wei and Zhuge Hong.
The two of them swung their blades, fending off all the bullets, but as the rest of the International Madman Organization unscrupulously opened fire at the same time, the two couldn’t block the dense flurry of bullets and some hit them.
Even though they were wearing bulletproof vests and were protected by Protective Gang Qi, they could barely withstand the impact of the bullets and had to dodge and distance themselves to escape.
Seeing the two escape and flee far away, Li Xuanyu and the others were also struck with shock.
These two were formidable.
To be able to slice through so many bullets with just blades, and after taking countless hits, to still be unharmed and successfully retreat, was truly awesome.
As the two disappeared within shooting range, the gunfire fell silent.
Li Xuanyu suddenly walked over to Zhang Yunlong, kicked him to the ground, pulled out a delicate handgun, and pressing it against the back of Zhang Yunlong’s head, she shouted in the direction the two had disappeared, "Are you here to rescue him?"
"Yunlong!"
In the darkness, seeing Zhang Yunlong humiliated and with a gun to his head, where his life was in danger at any moment, Zhuge Hong was scared out of her wits and let out a loud cry.
Hearing their language of Divine Continent Country, Li Xuanyu and the others were all taken aback.
At the same time, a glint of light flashed in Zhang Yunlong’s eyes and with an expression of great joy, he said, "Sister Hong, is that you? You... you came to rescue me personally?"
"Yes, Brother Long, don’t worry, I’ll definitely get you out, you’ll be fine," Zhuge Hong shouted back.
Zhang Yunlong laughed loudly, "Yes, I’m fine, they wouldn’t dare touch me."
"Bang!"
A gunshot abruptly cut off Zhang Yunlong’s words.
Zhang Yunlong then let out a cry of agony.
Li Xuanyu had shifted her gun, and with one shot, she had pierced through Zhang Yunlong’s right thigh.
"They wouldn’t dare touch you?" Li Xuanyu’s mouth curved into a sneer, jabbing the gun’s muzzle hard against the back of Zhang Yunlong’s head twice as she said with a laugh, "Try being arrogant again, I dare you."
