Gao Yang felt as if fate was refusing him any avenue of escape; an opportunity to get away, now thwarted by an out-of-control car.

If he didn’t take cover immediately, it would be too late.

With tears in his eyes but none to shed, Gao Yang dived to the ground and quickly worked the action of his gun to chamber a round.

As Gao Yang lay on the ground, a voice from the stopped car yelled, “Forget him, he’s dead, get out, get out, quick!”

Along with the shouting, bullets from a machine gun on the pursuing car showered over, with a series of shots sparking off the stopped vehicle.

However, since the car with the mounted machine gun was still moving fast, the threat wasn’t too severe—at least not until a moment later when the machine gun bullets flew skyward.

Three people jumped out of the soft-top off-road vehicle; two of them hit the ground immediately while another, after swiftly turning off the headlights, pulled something from the seat, hoisting it onto his shoulder.

A loud “whoosh” followed, and a flame flashed briefly.

The continuously firing machine gun on the move was suddenly silenced as the car was struck by a rocket, turning into a massive fireball after a thunderous explosion.

The attackers probably didn’t expect the people in the car to have the ability to fight back, let alone with such a deadly move; a single strike turned the machine gun and several people inside the car into a fireball.

After launching a rocket, the person standing beside the vehicle discarded the launcher and then dragged another object from the car onto his shoulder.

After a brief aim, another rocket was fired, turning the nearest car into a raging inferno.

Gao Yang was stunned; whether it was rockets or missiles, hitting a moving car with such accuracy was the mark of an incredibly skilled individual.

What surprised him even more was yet to come; after firing two rockets, the shooter casually pulled out a gun from beneath his right rib, leaned over the car’s hood, and began shooting.

The marksman’s shooting was brief and rhythmic, firing three-round bursts each time.

Even though the cars were nearly upon him and the crisis was imminent, the shooter fired methodically, showing no sign of panic.

Gao Yang listened to the gunfire, recognizing it was not the familiar AK47, but probably just another assault rifle nonetheless.

He thought that using an assault rifle against two approaching cars would be ineffective.

In front of his eyes, however, a miracle truly occurred; the two cars that were chasing him lost control one after another.

One suddenly swerved and rolled over, while the other turned in the opposite direction and drove far before coming to a stop.
