Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Wang Chao moved through the jungle like lightning, dodging bullets before they could reach him.
At first glance, all the bullets seemed to be constantly attacking behind him, shattering flowers, trees, and even piercing through rocks.
But he and Guan Zhilin remained unscathed.
"Old He, I'll hold them off, you go get the bag!"
"And quickly notify the others to come for support!"
One of the mercenaries shouted while shooting.
The one called Old He immediately stopped firing, shouldered his submachine gun, turned the motorcycle around, and swiftly rushed towards the mountainside.
Soon, he arrived at the fallen mercenary's location, lifted the body, grabbed the blood-stained bag from the chest, carried it on his back, revved the engine, and dashed off in another direction.
During this process, the first mercenary kept suppressing Wang Chao and Guan Zhilin with his gunfire, continuously shooting at Wang Chao.
"The enemy's firepower is too strong." Guan Zhilin hid in Wang Chao's embrace, her expression grave.
She had been looking for an opportunity to strike, but the enemy's firepower was too intense for her to aim.
"Let me handle it."
Wang Chao remained calm, holding Guan Zhilin as he stepped on branches and jumped up, pulling out a silver needle from his embrace and flicking it with his finger.
Swoosh!
The needle, as thin as a cow's hair, flew like lightning, barely detectable.
In just a few seconds, the needle traveled over 800 meters, silently piercing through the right palm of the mercenary holding the gun.
"Ouch!"
The mercenary immediately felt a sharp pain as his fingers instantly became incredibly stiff, unable to bend, let alone pull the trigger.
"What's going on?"
He lowered his head and immediately saw the silver needle in his palm. His expression changed.
He and Wang Chao were still over 800 meters apart, so how did this tiny needle hit him?
The mercenary was shocked, but he reacted quickly. One second after being hit, he realized he was no match for Wang Chao. He immediately shouldered his submachine gun, removed the silver needle from his palm, turned the off-road motorcycle, and tried to rush towards a distant location to escape.
However, just as he wanted to accelerate, another silver needle came out of nowhere and exploded the front tire of the motorcycle.
Immediately after, several more silver needles flew in, bursting the rear tire of the motorcycle.
The silver needles traversed the air, piercing through the mercenary's chest, shoulder, and arm, creating a series of tiny blood fountains.
The mercenary was blasted off the motorcycle by the powerful attack, tumbling several times before crashing into a large tree, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.
Although he wore a mask, his eyes were filled with astonishment. How could the silver needles possess such tremendous destructive power, bursting the tires and piercing through his body from such a long distance? This level of strength was terrifying!
He had encountered a formidable opponent!
And it was very likely a Seven-Star War God-level expert!
The mercenary's mind was in shock, devoid of any resistance, only one thought remained: escape!
However, before he could even stand up, a tremendous oppressive force surged over him, pinning him down on the ground, rendering him immobile.
Wang Chao had appeared in front of him, seemingly out of nowhere, towering over him with a cold and icy stare.
His gaze was like a dragon hovering in the clouds, overlooking the ants on the ground.
The mercenary paled, his mouth agape, unable to utter a word.
Just moments ago, Wang Chao was 800 meters away, so how did he suddenly appear in front of him in such a short time?
How terrifying was this speed?
A ghost?
Bang!
Wang Chao didn't give the man a chance to speak. He kicked him in the chest, breaking more than a dozen of his ribs.
The powerful force shattered the mask, revealing the man's true face.
Guan Zhilin exclaimed in shock, "He's a member of the Blood Demon Mercenary Group, Jiang Chong!"
She was astounded!
This ruthless and evil mercenary group had actually appeared in Canton City, and their security system was completely unaware. If the Blood Demon Mercenary Group launched an attack on the civilians, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"The Blood Demon Mercenary Group?" Wang Chao was taken aback.
Guan Zhilin looked somber and glanced in the direction the other person had fled. She furrowed her brows and said, "Yes, they are a mercenary group from the extraterritorial battlefield. They have only been active for a year and have been wandering in the Golden Triangle region, serving various forces."
"This group is purely driven by self-interest. Whoever pays them, they will work for. Wherever they go, nothing grows!"
"In the past year, many of our colleagues encountered their obstruction while working in the extraterritorial region. So I'm somewhat familiar with them."
"Now that they have appeared and are trying to steal Lafayette's uranium-235, there must be someone pulling the strings behind them."
Wang Chao suddenly realized.
No wonder he wasn't familiar with this mercenary group. They were a new force, and their activities were limited to the Golden Triangle region, not the tumultuous extraterritorial battlefield.
They were just small-time players, not worthy of his attention.
She glared at Jiang Chong, scolding, "Jiang Chong, speak up! Who are you working for? Who do you want to sell the uranium-235 to?"
Although Jiang Chong was injured and struggling to breathe, he grinned and said, "It's useless. You won't catch up to them. We already have this thing!"
"Will you talk or not?"
Guan Zhilin grew angry, got out of Wang Chao's embrace, and pressed the pistol against Jiang Chong's head.
The other person had already run far away, and if they wanted to catch up, it would require a great effort.
Instead of chasing, it was better to extract useful information from Jiang Chong's mouth.
"Hehe, come on, shoot me!" Jiang Chong grinned maliciously.
Guan Zhilin gritted her teeth, struggling with her gaze.
After finally capturing a criminal, she didn't desire to kill him just like that. She had to extract information.
However, before she could make a decision, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
"Watch out!"
Wang Chao's face changed dramatically. He pulled Guan Zhilin back into his embrace and took a step sideways.
Swish~
A bullet flew past them, instantly blowing off Jiang Chong's head.
The bullet pierced through the tree behind Jiang Chong and disappeared into the second tree.
Jiang Chong's blood splattered over Wang Chao and Guan Zhilin!
It was clear that if Wang Chao hadn't pulled Guan Zhilin to the side, that shot would have pierced through her.
"Sniper?" Guan Zhilin's expression changed.
Before she could finish speaking, Wang Chao picked her up again and swiftly moved more than three meters, taking cover behind a large rock.
Bang!
A bullet flew past their previous position, piercing through a tree.
Guan Zhilin's pupils contracted hugely as she witnessed the scene, her face turning pale with shock.
It seemed that the Blood Demon Mercenary Group had spared no expense!
Not only did they bring heavy weaponry, but they also had snipers lying in ambush. They must have thrown everything they had at this operation.
By closely pursuing them, Wang Chao and Guan Zhilin had undoubtedly become thorns in the side of the Blood Demon Mercenary Group. Their functions had shifted from hunters to prey.
It was manifest that a hidden sniper was already aiming at their location. As long as they dared to expose themselves, they would be shot in the head.
"Wang Chao, what should we do now?" Guan Zhilin asked.
"I think you should get off me first," came Wang Chao's almost suffocating voice.
Guan Zhilin lowered her head and immediately blushed.
She realized that when Wang Chao had held her and taken cover behind the rock, due to the danger they faced, she hadn't even noticed that she was currently lying on top of him.
And Wang Chao's head happened to be pressed underneath her.
