Chapter 643: Chapter 291: Narrow Escape from Death
"Is this the attack by the three big families? Is it a rocket?"
"A rocket shouldn’t have this much power, right? I feel like it’s more like a missile..."
The scene of the explosion before them was so shocking, it was unbelievable. Everyone present seemed frozen, with only the crackling of burning tree trunks, the enemy’s screams, and the sound of their own heartbeats echoing in their ears.
Zhao Hua suddenly spoke, urgently: "It’s not a missile; it’s a drone missile! Also called a suicide missile drone, or reconnaissance-strike integration! It’s a new type of airborne weapon system, organically combining UAV technology and ammunition technology into a device with multiple combat functions, capable of loitering, standby combat, and is a precision strike weapon."
"I clearly noticed the tail of the missile accelerating with flames in mid-air a moment ago. Someone or some faction is executing a precision strike against the Bai Family!"
"It must be the work of local warlords."
After hearing Zhao Hua’s explanation, Zhao Bai added: "Although the Kokang warlords don’t have an air force, they do possess various anti-aircraft weapons, like the Feinu-6 anti-aircraft missile and the Sky Arrow-90 air-to-air missile. They also have their own private arms factory and have probably procured new weapons like drone missiles from abroad."
"I see. Well done!"
Gao Bo slapped his thigh and turned to look at Gu Ji, who was hiding behind a slanting tree trunk. "Gu Ji, should we take this opportunity to retreat quickly?"
"Prepare to retreat."
Gu Ji murmured softly. He was still immersed in the power of the suicide missile drone.
To be honest, even as the mastermind behind it all, he hadn’t expected its power to be this great. He thought it would be at most twice as strong as the suicide drones used by drug dealers during an air crisis. Unexpectedly, it destroyed more than half of the enemy’s machine gun unit.
If the Bai Family Border Defense Camp had stationed themselves a bit closer, it might have wiped them out completely.
The items in the privilege store are truly treasures!
If he had enough honor points, he could exchange for ten or eight drone missiles and single-handedly wipe out the Bai Family.
As they fled downhill to the west, Gu Ji noticed Wa Xueming intentionally falling behind a few positions and deliberately avoiding everyone’s sight.
Most likely, he was planting Poison Needle Trap mines.
He guessed right.
Wa Xueming was indeed setting them up, because once they escaped the Bai Family’s pursuit, they could survive.
After placing the poison needle trap on a tree trunk, he glanced again at the fire from the explosion point.
As the Bai Family’s top enforcer, Wa Xueming fundamentally didn’t believe the Kokang warlords could have such powerful weapons. Otherwise, they wouldn’t need to bow to the Bai Family; a single drone missile could destroy the Bai Family manor. If Bai Maoliang and Bai Mingliang were dead, the Jinyuan Group would naturally collapse. Why go through so much trouble and bring troops into the city?
"It must be the 7472 intelligence reconnaissance system discovering my distress and deploying temporary support."
Wa Xueming thought carefully and found this reason most reasonable.
He couldn’t help but feel grateful that he made the right choice back then. Otherwise, it would be him turned to ashes now!
"Mr. Bai, those police seem to have escaped!"
"Damn it! Then why aren’t you chasing them!"
Bai Mingliang was watching the PM Mercenaries leave with resentment. Hearing the report from his subordinate, he flew into a rage and kicked the subordinate to the ground.
"But Mr. Bai, the machine gun unit’s brothers are now badly hurt. We can’t just..."
"Leave the wounded in place, and have the infantry company brothers take the usable equipment."
Bai Mingliang looked back at the blast site, at the scene of his men in a bloody mess, without a trace of pity, only resentment. His face turned cold and pale, his narrow eyes shaded.
This night was an all-out siege. Wa Xueming even brought people to betray and kidnap his father.
So far, he failed to rescue his father, the costly hired mercenaries fled, and even the Bai Family’s longtime stockpiled Border Defense Camp suffered heavy casualties.
If he couldn’t capture those police, he would never swallow this grudge in his lifetime.
"Hu," Bai Mingliang grabbed his subordinate by the collar, words squeezing out coolly from his teeth, "I don’t care what you do. You must capture those police for me. If you can’t save my father, I want you all to be buried with him!"
"Yes! Yes, Mr. Bai! Everyone, collect equipment and continue the pursuit!"
"Boom~~"
"Ah! There are mines!"
Just as the infantry company charged forward, suddenly, the Poison Needle Trap exploded, spraying numerous poison darts into the dense forest. Even though half were blocked by tree trunks, many still hit the soldiers.
In just a blink of an eye.
The hit soldiers started flailing wildly as if maddened.
Seeing this, Bai Mingliang kicked one of the soldiers, "What the hell are you doing? Hurry up and chase them, didn’t you hear?!"
"Uh...ah!!"
The maddened soldier fell to the ground, completely ignoring Bai Mingliang’s threats. Instead, like a rabid dog, he suddenly lunged up and bit his thigh.
"Ah! Damn you! Bang! Bang bang!"
Feeling the sharp pain from his thigh, Bai Mingliang without hesitation pressed his pistol against the mad soldier’s body and fired three shots before pushing the corpse away.
A subordinate rushed over, distraught, and quickly helped him up: "Mr. Bai, these brothers seem off, like they’ve been poisoned, resembling the piglets Mr. Shao used for poison trials..."
