In a flash, he understood. The other party's influence was so great that even the giants of the Chinese underworld, the Green Gang and the Hung Gang, would intervene in the investigation, but the local underworld was completely covered up by him. It only took a little thought to figure it out.
Everything he had. Gone!
Xu Facheng grabbed Miwad and said, "I'm going with you. Kill that kid! You've got to give me the stuff afterward, damn it. With that stuff, I can rise to the top in one step! What are these things worth now!"
Miwad sneered, "Cobra, you've known me for so long, when have you ever seen me tell a lie?!"
Xu Facheng looked at him, silently grabbed an AK, and said into the communicator, "The armed police are coming soon. You guys retreat and try to escape. If I'm lucky enough to survive today, I'll come back and find you brothers when I rise again!"
Xu Facheng was filled with resentment. Seven of his men had already died—all his brothers! Normally, he would have lay low and waited for revenge. But he knew that if he didn't eliminate that student today, Miwad would never reveal the whereabouts of the item. Plus, Chen Xu had killed so many of their brothers; if he didn't avenge this, he would never be able to hold his head high in the underworld again.
“We’ll have five minutes before the armed police arrive,” Xu Facheng said, looking at Miwad. “This is China, not Afghanistan. Ordinary police might be no big deal, but once the armed police arrive, we definitely won’t be able to escape! We’ll take care of that guy in three minutes, and then I’ll have a car ready downstairs.”
Miwad grinned: "I'll do as you say!"
"Damn it, why didn't you listen to me sooner?" Xu Facheng thought to himself. But his past was already ruined, and his future depended entirely on Miwad. He absolutely couldn't afford to offend him now. So Xu Facheng gritted his teeth and shouted, "Charge!"
At this time, Chen Xu had already contacted Nangong Lan. So far, Nangong Lan had killed two people. For these snipers, it was difficult for their bullets to hit Nangong Lan. After all, the Bagua Sect's footwork was the strongest. Even if their footwork couldn't match the Lingbo Weibu in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", it was still impossible for the enemy snipers to lock onto the target.
Moreover, compared to Chen Xu, Nangong Lan is faster and more agile!
Chen Xu had to climb the stairs step by step, while Nangong Lan only needed a few running steps and the support of the wall to leap up the stairs like an agile monkey!
Enemies who were approached by Nangong Lan faced certain death. Although these people possessed some martial arts skills, they were far inferior to Nangong Lan. Moreover, Nangong Lan's two close encounters were only a matter of seconds; these people felt a sharp pain in their throats or necks, and then they were gone.
Traditional Chinese martial arts are solely for killing. They are an art form that doesn't perform!
Of course, when facing such a scattered enemy, Chen Xu could kill people with a gun much faster than Nangong Lan.
Chen Xu was running upstairs to find a suitable sniping spot, but at that moment he caught a glimpse of a person running out of the stairwell of the building next door, opening a car door, throwing in a gun, and getting into the car.
"They're trying to escape?!"
Without hesitation, Chen Xu immediately set up his sniper rifle, aimed, and pulled the trigger.
The bullet struck the man squarely in the head, and his skull exploded like a watermelon. Blood and brain matter sprayed all over the windshield.
After being hit by a bullet, Chen Xu didn't look at the person again, but turned around and ran uphill.
The enemy is trying to escape! This is something Chen Xu absolutely cannot accept!
"Cut the weeds and wipe them out at the root!" Chen Xu had killed so many of them today; the feud was now truly settled! Chen Xu didn't want any of the remaining members of their group to come back and kill him again. He didn't want to live that kind of life of constant fear again… If life were always like that, what joy would there be?!
Therefore, we must eliminate all the enemies at this time!
Moreover, Chen Xu had another selfish motive.
Because he didn't want these people to fall into the hands of the police.
If they fall into the hands of the police, then they must be tried according to the law. And frankly, Chen Xu doesn't trust the law!
What is law? Law is a whore that is trampled on at will by power and money.
As long as you have money and power, then lenient sentencing... hey. It's happening less often now?
If these guys aren't sentenced to death, or even just a suspended death sentence, they might get out in a few years with some connections and money.
Moreover, the death penalty is now very severe. Although they committed the crime with a gun, they may not be sentenced to death because they did not actually kill anyone.
If that's the case, it's better to let Chen Xu deal with these guys himself. It'll prevent any future trouble!
Chen Xu wasn't the type to assume the worst of others. But when his own life was threatened, he would prioritize his own safety above all else! Right now, Chen Xu trusted no one but himself!
Just then, his phone rang again. Chen Xu picked it up with a sigh and saw it was Guan Yi again. As soon as he answered, the woman's voice cried out, "Chen Xu, you need to find a safe place right now! Director Wang said the armed police have been dispatched and will be there in five minutes at most. Just hold on for another five minutes, please don't let anything happen to you!"
Five minutes?
If the armed police arrive, it will be difficult for me to make a move in front of them.
Chen Xu stood there speechless, and Guan Yi, thinking something had happened to him, said in a tearful voice, "Chen Xu, answer me! Are you alright now?"
Chen Xu took a deep breath: "I'm fine, okay, I understand. Don't call me again now, or your voice will give away my target."
Upon hearing this, Guan Yi quickly replied, "I understand. I'll call you back once the armed police have brought the situation under control. Please make sure you stay safe!"
Chen Xu hung up the phone. Five minutes left!
"Xiaomin, immediately calculate and tell me the movements of these people, and who to attack first. I don't have time!"
Xiaomin's calculation ability is very strong. Sure enough, she immediately said, "24 degrees west of north, go up two more floors, to the west window. There is an 83% chance of killing him as soon as he goes out."
Chen Xu immediately climbed two stories to the empty window on the west side, where the window frame hadn't been installed yet, and set up his gun at the angle Xiao Min had indicated. Xiao Min's voice rang out: "Based on the speed calculation, start the countdown now, seven, six... three, two, one!"
When Xiaomin counted to one, sure enough, a figure rushed out of the door in a panic. Unfortunately, Chen Xu was already there with his gun at the ready, and with a "bang," he immediately ended a life.
"Go to the south window and aim at the third window from the left on the second floor opposite. Someone will be running quickly from east to west in twenty seconds."
Mobile sniping!
Don't assume that snipers are always lying down and shooting at stationary targets; shooting at moving targets is what's truly important.
Upon hearing the warning, Chen Xu immediately ran over, aimed his gun at the window, and as Xiao Min counted down to one, Chen Xu didn't even look and pulled the trigger!
"We've taken care of them. There are nine of them left. One of them is on the south rooftop!"
"Bang!"
"Thirty red buildings to the west, a person is getting ready to get on the bus."
"Bang!"
"Seven hundred meters to the south, a person just jumped off a building and got on a bus, based on the car's trajectory. You need to aim at the Shouchun Road bus stop. Calculate based on the speed, and he will pass the bus stop in ten seconds. You only have one chance!"
"Bang!"
Chen Xu was now fully in the zone, performing exceptionally well, even better than in virtual training! As the car sped past, with Xiao Min's automatic aiming and countdown, the shot was brilliantly fired, killing the person instantly. The car, now unmanned, veered wildly across the road, finally crashing into a house on the side of the road and coming to a stop.
This was mainly thanks to Xiaomin, because nothing could calculate it more accurately than her; Chen Xu only needed to pull the trigger.
"The rooftop on the north side..."
"Aim at the Qingxi Road bus stop to the west..."
In the blink of an eye, Chen Xu had taken down two more. At that moment, Nangong Lan's voice came through the communicator: "Take down another one, Chen Xu. I haven't killed as many as you."
Only three left!
On the map, all three people are grouped together, and one of them must be Mivad!
Chapter 199 of the main text: The Imperial Seal of the State!
Just as Chen Xugang reached the window following Xiaomin's directions, a burst of bullets suddenly whizzed by, startling him so much that he quickly retreated. Because the bulletproof vest didn't protect his head, even if he were wearing depleted uranium armor, it wouldn't have helped if he had been shot in the head.
In truth, Chen Xu should feel fortunate. Let's not even talk about whether the other side was skilled enough to blow his and Nangong Lan's heads off. If the other side had known they possessed such insane body armor, their weapons wouldn't have been these "lightweight" sniper rifles and submachine guns; they would have been equipped with far more powerful and devastating new weapons!
A broken Chinese voice came from below: "Chen! Why don't you dare come out? Baby, hurry up and come out, let grandpa blow your head off! Don't worry, I'll be very gentle! Hahaha!"
"Damn it!" Chen Xu cursed. The biggest taboo for a sniper is when the enemy is suppressing fire. A sniper who can't show his face is useless, because even the best sniper always needs to aim... Chen Xu isn't at the level of jumping up and not looking at the target in CS and relying on judgment to flick the shot.
When the men below saw that Chen Xu didn't come out, they fired another burst of bullets. Chen Xu quickly crawled to the other side, trying to find an opportunity to shoot.
However, Xiaomin reported that the three opponents were facing three directions, and the only unguarded side was Chen Xu's back. Unless Chen Xu grew legendary invisible wings and flew to the opposite building, he would be discovered by the enemy as soon as he showed his face. Chen Xu was now in a passive position.
"Hello, hello?" Suddenly, Chen Xu's communicator rang, followed immediately by a burst of bullets. Startled, Chen Xu scrambled to the side. That was close! That guy had used sound to pinpoint his location; holding the communicator meant exposing himself to the enemy. The problem was, Chen Xu only had a sniper rifle and knew the enemy's exact location… but the sniper rifle's rate of fire was slow. If he didn't have time to aim, he'd be headshot before he could fire. The three enemies didn't know Chen Xu's exact location, but they were all armed with high-rate-of-fire submachine guns. Chen Xu didn't know how many bullets they had left, but they were clearly not short.
How can you eliminate the other party while ensuring your own safety in this situation?
This is a very, very big problem!
By passing through walls?
Please, shooting at a wall at that close range is practically suicide! The bullet's kinetic energy isn't enough; it will definitely bounce off the wall and kill you... But what if you used a sonar gun?!
It's difficult now, because when Chen Xu peeked out just now, he caught a glimpse of three people downstairs. One was Black, which must be Miwad, and the other two were Asian, meaning they were Miwad's henchmen. Chen Xu's primary task was to kill Miwad, but of course, he didn't intend to let the other two go either.
But these three weren't like the previous snipers, foolishly standing there as sitting ducks. They were now inside the building where Chen Xu was located, and more importantly, the submachine guns they were using had a much faster rate of fire than his rifle!
In a one-against-three situation, Chen Xu was destined for defeat!
Chen Xu switched Xiao Min's scope back to a watch. Using infrared light, Chen Xu could now see the three of them right below him. Chen Xu was currently on the fifth floor, while they had already gone up to the second floor.
A few more steps and the two sides would be locked in a direct confrontation. Chen Xu tried to tell himself, "Calm down. Calm down! It's just street fighting. The instructor taught me how to do it."
The one-eyed instructor had indeed taught Chen Xu. During their first simulated combat exercise, Chen Xu thought he was invincible with the sonar gun, only to be beaten half to death by the instructor. Although the scenario was similar to this one, he didn't possess the instructor's superb skills. Facing three submachine guns simultaneously, Chen Xu didn't believe he had the ability to avoid being shot in the head.
Moreover, the other party wasn't stupid. After being hit by several shots in the body without being injured, they immediately realized that he might be wearing something like a bulletproof vest. Now the shooting was aimed at the head, and Chen Xu didn't want to die.
The other person went up another floor, and was now only two floors away from Chen Xu. Chen Xu could now clearly hear the other person's footsteps!
what to do?!
Just when Chen Xu was at his wit's end, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the distance!
Almost instantly, a scream of agony erupted from downstairs. Then came a man's voice: "Xiao Dao! What's wrong?!"
Chen Xu almost instinctively turned his head to look in the direction of the gunshot, and saw a black man standing on a tall building across the street.
Xu Facheng was clearly no match for Nangong Lan. After all, he was getting old, and his skills and physique were not what they used to be. Moreover, Nangong Lan was indeed a master, a very powerful one. What's even more unfair now is that although he had a dagger in his hand, he couldn't actually hurt Nangong Lan by stabbing her body. His only vital point was her head, so Xu Facheng was even more passive and quickly took a palm strike from Nangong Lan.
This wasn't an ordinary slap that would just cause a brief, sharp pain; Xu Facheng coughed up blood. He knew then that things were over, and his entire plan for the day was going to fail. So he desperately shouted at Miwad, "Go! We have to get out of here!"
Miwad was more skilled than Chen Xu, but he shared the same concern as Xu Facheng: his attacks on the opponent's body were ineffective. Therefore, he and Chen Xu fought to a standstill.
Just then, a police siren suddenly sounded in the distance—the armed police had arrived!
"Miward, you fucking want to kill me!" Xu Facheng roared, "Run! Run!"
Hearing the sirens, Miwad was startled. Xu Facheng had just told him that if they were coming, it would be armed police, not regular police; the regular police had already blocked the roads and were heading to raid Xu Facheng's hometown.
If this were Afghanistan, he wouldn't have to worry about the armed police. But here, without weapons, unfamiliar with the terrain, and with two capable fighters sticking to him, if he were truly surrounded, he would only have two options: die or be captured alive. There was no way he could escape!
At that moment, Miwad was fighting Chen Xu. While Miwad was originally stronger than Chen Xu, Chen Xu's body armor had largely negated that advantage. Suddenly, Miwad lost focus, committing a grave mistake!
Chen Xu had been waiting for an opportunity to make a move, and that opportunity was to use the sonar gun!
In just one second, he could adjust the sonar gun and fire! And as soon as the opportunity arose, Chen Xu immediately raised his left hand, aimed it at Miwad, and pressed the "fire" button on his watch!
The sonic attack struck Mivad instantly, causing him to convulse and slowly collapse. At that moment, Chen Xu grabbed Mivad's right hand, which was holding the knife, and shoved it back, then slashed Mivad's throat!
A spurt of blood gushed out!
Xu Facheng roared in disbelief, "No!" Completely ignoring Nangong Lan's attack, he desperately lunged at Chen Xu. But Nangong Lan wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. She caught up and delivered a powerful palm strike to Xu Facheng's back!
The palm strike landed directly on Xu Facheng's back, sending him flying and spitting out a mouthful of blood. Moreover, Nangong Lan used hidden force in this palm strike, the power penetrating deep into his internal organs. Xu Facheng's heart had been severely damaged, and he was basically beyond saving.
