Chapter 79: Bullseye!

Twenty minutes later.

Ling Wu and Xi Huaizhi closed the door of the grocery store, got into the black SUV from before, and drove toward an Abandoned Warehouse in the north of Ganan City, where members of the Organization were responsible for meeting them.

Ling Wu sat in the passenger seat and saw that roadblocks had been set up on the streets in the city center; he commanded, "Don't stop, just ram straight through!"

Xi Huaizhi: "Understood."

He floored the accelerator, the vehicle sped off, his heart beating rapidly in his chest, and the scenery and objects before him were reflected on the windshield as blurred blocks of color.

Ling Wu gripped his seatbelt.

"Bang!"

The front of the car collided with the roadblock with a crisp sound, shattering it into pieces, the tires kicked up dust and ash, and they gradually moved away from the city center...

The public security personnel responsible for setting up the roadblock held their walkie-talkies: "The vehicle with license plate number XXX has broken through the central zone roadblock and is driving straight toward the north of the city; please intercept immediately upon receipt!"

"Received! Received!"

"Notify Young Master Yin, the target is in the north of the city."

The wind poured in from outside the window, dispelling the sultry heat.

Xi Huaizhi drove to the north of the city, his palms slightly damp with a thin layer of sweat; he blew at his bangs, looking very unrestrained and carefree, the glow of dusk spread across his profile: "It's almost sunset."

"How long are we going to keep leading this bunch of grandsons on a chase?"

Ling Wu looked at the road behind them through the rearview mirror: "Don't be impatient."

Xi Huaizhi turned the steering wheel, the vehicle rounded a corner, and he saw another roadblock a hundred meters ahead; he switched to controlling the steering wheel with one hand: "Like a dog-skin plaster, it's like they can't be shaken off."

He fished a cylindrical object about 5 centimeters long with a plastic exterior out of the box beside him, raised his slender fingers to his lips, bit the pull-ring hard, and threw the item toward the roadblock.

The crowd scattered instantly.

"It's a bomb!"

"Run!"

"Scatter... everyone scatter!"

Ling Wu rested his elbow on the car door, his index and middle fingers placed lazily against his temple, and he shook his head slightly and smiled as he watched the crowd evacuating in an emergency.

But the expected sound of an explosion did not ring out; thick white fog rose, blurring the road.

That was not a bomb, but a Smoke Bomb to confuse the senses.

The vehicle broke through the roadblock once more and drove straight into the Abandoned Warehouse; Ling Wu said slowly: "They've gotten smarter."

"That goes without saying." Xi Huaizhi was quite proud: "After all, I'm following your lead."

The SUV stopped outside the Abandoned Warehouse.

There were several dilapidated buildings next to the warehouse.

Dusk spilled down golden light as if bestowing a favor, paving the road ahead as if draped in a sheet of gold-leaf silk, and that vast, boundless firmament was also accompanied by a radiance that revealed a profound and distant mystery.

Inside the Abandoned Warehouse.

Tiny specks of dust fluttered like gold powder under the illumination of the sunlight, the iron door had curled edges, moss grew in the damp brick crevices, and in the corner sat a few pieces of obsolete machinery discarded by the era, along with several rows of shelves.

"Split up."

Ling Wu and Xi Huaizhi exchanged a glance and went up the dilapidated second floor from the staircases on either side, their spines pressed tight against the walls, avoiding areas with open lines of sight.

At the same time:

【Bullet screen protection, this place is eerie.】

【How can a place as high-tech as the Empire have such a dilapidated place... In my impression, quite a few people die in places like this, like murder cases or kidnapping cases!】

【Young Master Yin should be able to catch those two.】

【When will you let the villain regain his identity and slaughter everyone?】

【The outside is already surrounded by police, these two running to an Abandoned Warehouse, isn't this just seeking their own deaths?】

Police?

Ling Wu looked out toward a ventilation duct; the bullet screen had appeared again, proving that Yin Huaiyu was nearby; he leaned against the wall, his right index finger resting on the trigger.

He gave Xi Huaizhi a hand signal.

Xi Huaizhi was crouching beside a wooden crate; seeing Ling Wu poke half his head out from the wall and use his hand to gesture, he reacted for two seconds.

Capture the ringleader first to capture the bandits?

He nodded.

The Organization's sniper was hiding in a concealed spot on a hillside hundreds of meters away, at the highest point, looking down at the entire warehouse from a commanding position, taking in the whole situation.

Rhythmic footsteps came from below.

Yin Huaiyu walked in from the center; he had changed into a collarless black suit, the collar of his floral shirt underneath was flipped out, a few buttons were undone, and he wore no tie or bowtie, appearing very languid and loose; he held a semi-automatic Beretta 92 in his hand.

He raised his hand to signal, and his subordinates immediately wiped a clean spot for him.

Yin Huaiyu bent his legs and sat down, stepping on the sunset glow shining in through the doorway; he toyed with the pistol: "You two, stop running, give up the resistance."

"Tell me where Huo Xi is."

"I can leave you with an intact corpse."

He was unhurried and felt secure in the knowledge that he had backing: "Our high-precision equipment is equipped with a Through-Wall Radar Imaging Device; even if you hide behind a wall, I can still see you."

Yin Huaiyu's voice rang out inside the empty warehouse, echoing and circling continuously.

"Am I right? The one crouching by the crate on the second floor."

His tone rose and dragged at the end, like a cat wickedly teasing a mouse it was catching.

Still, no one responded.

Yin Huaiyu's peach-blossom eyes lifted abruptly, his tongue tip rolled over his dry lips, his patience seemed to be reaching its end; he raised his gun cleanly and decisively and fired at the wall where Ling Wu was located.

"Bang!"

That bullet was embedded fiercely into the wall, leaving a tiny pit on the surface and rising with black smoke.

Then the bullet head clattered onto the ground.

Ling Wu seemed to sense something, but did not act rashly.

Watching the situation unfold, he was very composed, carrying out the six words "if the enemy does not move, I do not move" to the end; he was a very excellent hunter.

The bottom of the Abandoned Warehouse was empty and lacked cover; if a gunfight broke out, it was hard to say who would suffer.

Then Yin Huaiyu was heard saying again: "My sniper is just a hundred meters away; a Through-Wall Radar Imaging Device combined with a heavy sniper rifle can instantly penetrate the wall and hit the target."

Ling Wu breathed evenly, thinking calmly.

Flaws.

They were all flaws.

Yin Huaiyu had just arrived in Ganan and pursued them without stopping; he had only followed them to the Abandoned Warehouse a moment ago, so where would he have found the time to equip a heavy sniper rifle?

Furthermore, a sniper is often one of the primary targets on a battlefield.

If exposed to the enemy's line of sight, they would face extreme danger; a qualified sniper would choose a concealed position, utilizing terrain, vegetation, buildings, and other natural or artificial objects to shield themselves, reducing the risk of being discovered by the enemy.

Yin Huaiyu had been here for no more than five minutes.

There was simply not enough time for a sniper to survey the terrain either.

Even if there really were one, a person as arrogant as Yin Huaiyu would have taken his and Xi Huaizhi's lives the very first moment he stepped into the warehouse.

Strike first to gain the advantage!

Ling Wu knew his position had already been exposed, and rushing out blindly would make him a living target; he searched all around, his gaze falling upon the discarded sheet metal on the ground.

Ling Wu stepped on the curled edge of the sheet metal, and taking advantage of the gap, quickly kicked it into mid-air with his toe; with a grab of his hand, he agilely and neatly rolled against the wall to the edge of the wall railing, his movements without the slightest hesitation, tossing the sheet metal in his hand into the air, where the wide sheet metal instantly unfolded, blocking the line of sight from below.

In terms of reaction, speed, and precision, the bunch of trash under Yin Huaiyu could not match even one of Ling Wu's.

Ling Wu's eyes were firm, and taking advantage of the time difference, he decisively raised his hand, pulled the trigger, and with the accuracy of a master marksman, hit the target precisely!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

A beautiful headshot line.

Two people at the bottom of the warehouse fell to the ground in response.

But Yin Huaiyu was no longer in the open area.

Seeing Ling Wu make his move, Xi Huaizhi reacted quickly, pulled the pin on a Smoke Bomb, threw it out, and simultaneously aimed his gun at the hearts of two Yin Family members within his field of vision; as the gunshots rang out, blood splattered, and two more fell.

A small patch of white mist instantly rose at the bottom of the warehouse.
