Chapter 633

Ning Chen had been driving for nearly twenty minutes before finally emerging from that tree-lined path.

Once out, the view instantly widened, and a broad highway lay directly ahead of Ning Chen.

Moreover, since this place had always been remote, there were no vehicles on the highway at all.

Ning Chen's lips curled up slightly.

Compared to the narrow path where he had to swerve left and right to drive normally, he preferred riding his bike on such a flat and wide road.

It was just a pity that he had never had the chance to take Si Shiya for a ride.

But very soon, Ning Chen cast that thought aside.

He noticed that the drone overhead was still tracking him at all times, and dozens of people had also emerged from the tree-lined path.

Those people seemed to have come out riding motorcycles; their speed was far inferior to Ning Chen's, but thanks to the drone's tracking function, they still followed him with ease.

Ning Chen frowned irritably, glancing at the drone overhead with his peripheral vision.

The drone's controller seemed to know he had spotted it, so it stopped trying to hide and followed Ning Chen openly.

The midday sun came out; the drone overhead followed Ning Chen like a shadow on the highway, its small shadow falling just to the right of Ning Chen's motorcycle.

Ning Chen suddenly had an idea and slowed down.

Since the drone kept following him, he might as well thoroughly deal with those tracking things right at this moment.

That would be better than constantly having to guard against people suddenly charging up from behind.

Ning Chen took out the Wanrong backpack; he usually stored some necessary items in this backpack, such as a handgun or some weapons with particularly strong attack power like grenades.

This time, Ning Chen's goal was to shoot the drone overhead down from the sky.

This was not something that could be accomplished easily; after all, the weapons owned by the Haiwen family were certainly not ordinary things.

Besides having to consider wind speed and the drone's travel speed, one also needed absolute shooting accuracy.

Ning Chen controlled the motorcycle's direction with one hand while his right hand reached into the Wanrong backpack and pulled out a handgun.

His right hand, hidden beneath his coat, slowly spun the handgun twice, as if getting used to its feel.

He always kept bullets in the gun at all times, not only for emergencies but more importantly to use them on appropriate occasions.

Just like now.

Although Ning Chen's eyes were looking forward, his peripheral vision kept fixed on the drone constantly flying above his head.

He could accurately gauge the drone's speed; even with just his peripheral vision, he could clearly see where the drone would be in the next second.

His index finger pulled the trigger; Ning Chen suddenly raised his hand, tilted his head back, and stared straight at the drone.

In the next second, the gun in his hand immediately fired a bullet, hitting the center of the drone perfectly.

But it proved completely useless.

The handgun Ning Chen chose was not the most powerful among his weapons, and the drone used by the Haiwen family had put more effort into defense than those ordinary, common drones.

Iron plates were embedded around the drone's perimeter, firmly protecting the entire edge.

In its exact center was a special device used for protection.

Although the drone's exact center was the weakest part of the entire body, this reconnaissance drone seemed to have an invincible trend; when it flew overhead, it was very difficult for people below to shoot it down.

Ning Chen fired one shot, yet the drone still flew steadily in mid-air, not even shaking its body.

Once one shot failed, the people from the Haiwen family would have discovered him.

Ning Chen did not plan to launch a second attack; he decisively and quickly put the gun back into the Wanrong backpack, turned the speed to maximum, and strove to reach the destination as soon as possible.

Yet all of what had just happened actually could not be displayed in the live broadcast room full of viewers.

Once the live broadcast room involved such shooting scenes, or when Ning Chen was about to actively handle some special matters, the live broadcast room would automatically go black.

Ning Chen's live broadcast room going black was a common occurrence, but besides the black screen, the sound inside the live broadcast room was not blocked.

As a result, the sound of Ning Chen attacking the drone with the handgun appeared in the live broadcast room completely intact.

Everyone present, even if they had never eaten pork, had seen pigs run; although they had never truly witnessed a shooting scene, they had watched plenty of such movies.

So someone immediately began to guess and suspect.

"Why did the screen go black? Those few sounds just now must have been gunshots; otherwise, I can't think of anything else that could make such a sound."

"Besides guns, firecrackers can also make such a sound, right? Don't guess wildly."

"Everyone calm down first; black screens are common in this streamer's live broadcast room. At worst, we can just wait for the black screen effect to end and see the situation then."

"Anyway, I think my guess is definitely correct; those two sounds just now were definitely gunshots!"

The live broadcast room had all sorts of comments; most people had just opened the stream during their free time to kill time, who knew they would run into such an incident.

But Ning Chen was completely unaware of everything happening in the live broadcast room; he continued driving his motorcycle, trying to shake off the drone on this highway.

But the drone's speed was too fast; even if Ning Chen pushed the vehicle speed to the maximum, he could not shake off the drone that followed him like a shadow overhead.

Only after the system confirmed there was no situation around did it remove the black screen effect.

All the viewers saw that this time Ning Chen appeared on a highway; besides the drone that had been following him, there was nothing else.

478. Boarding the helicopter, viewers' sharing

As soon as the black screen effect disappeared, those restless viewers calmed down considerably.

They stared tightly at the top of Ning Chen's head but found no trace of the drone.

Besides a patch of blue sky and white clouds, there was nothing left.

"No way, such a huge drone just disappeared?"

"Don't fake it; the streamer must have shot the drone down directly with a handgun. The streamer's real identity is actually a big shot from a certain country's military."

"Laughing to death; does anyone really think those sounds were gunshots? Is this generation of netizens really this weak?"

"It was definitely gunshots! I've watched so many anti-Japanese war movies; how could I not know what gunshots sound like?"

But the last comment was still seen by netizens as a joke; after all, in their understanding, ordinary people find it very difficult to obtain firearms and ammunition.

Ning Chen had long since put the gun back into the Wanrong backpack; there were no weapons capable of injuring anyone on his entire body, because they were hard to carry and, moreover, would be useless.

What Ning Chen regretted most was that he hadn't shot down the drone; if he could have retrieved it and stored it in the Myriad Fusion Backpack for research, he might have made a huge profit.

Every move Ning Chen made was observed by the people of the Haiwan Family.

"Haha! Just this kid? He must be dreaming of shooting down our drone!" The person holding the drone controller stared at the display panel and laughed mercilessly.

Immediately, many people interested in the drone gathered around, standing beside the controller, with no shortage of mockery and ridicule.

But soon someone raised a question: "That's not right. How did the gun in his hand appear?"

At these words, the crowd fell silent at once.

Seeing this, the man voiced his suspicion: "Doesn't he carry a bag or backpack close to his body? When we were on the tree-lined avenue, I didn't see any firearm on him. Besides, even if one wanted to carry such a pistol, it would be easy to give oneself away."

Someone in the crowd immediately echoed him.

"Hey, now that you mention it, that does seem suspicious. But then again, Ning Chen has always been mysterious. Who knows how he got the gun out."

"In my opinion, we just need to figure out Ning Chen's location. It doesn't matter how he got the gun out."

As soon as this was said, quite a few people nodded in agreement.

"But why is he getting farther and farther away?" said the person holding the controller.

The red dot marking the drone was drifting further and further from the origin, meaning Ning Chen was also moving farther and farther from their position.

After glancing a few times, someone lost interest and looked away: "Tracking Ning Chen isn't our mission. We just need to provide his exact location."

At five in the afternoon, Ning Chen finally reached his destination.

A private plane was parked on an open flat road. Before Ning Chen even reached the private plane, he saw the imposing helicopter.

Come to think of it, he had never seen a private plane before; for most of his travels, he usually took a sedan.

Ning Chen parked his motorcycle to the side and walked on foot to the helicopter.

He sensed the people of the Haiwan Family tracking him from behind were now getting closer and closer to his destination.

They seemed to control every move Ning Chen made; while constantly closing in on the private plane, the drone also circled overhead, hovering high without descending.

Ning Chen was not worried at all. He knew he could handle any emergency. Even if they sent snipers or tried to air-raid him, it wouldn't matter; using the "Object Manipulation" skill, he could easily eliminate everyone on the other side.

Seeing Ning Chen approach a private plane on the drone's display panel, the people of the Haiwan Family immediately began to question it.

"Ning Chen has a plane? When did the plane appear here?"

Although curious, these people were not overly worried.

Luo Wen had made preparations for both contingencies. He sent a team in vehicles to chase Ning Chen, while another team had already boarded a plane; besides monitoring Ning Chen from high altitude, they could also air-raid him.

Thus, no matter what happened, Ning Chen's final fate would still be death.

The land-based personnel chasing behind Ning Chen were already almost at his side.

Those controlling the drone notified the air-raid personnel still at headquarters to immediately pilot helicopters to conduct aerial interference.

With forces splitting into two routes to launch a surprise attack, Luo Wen believed that even if Ning Chen had wings, he wouldn't be able to fly away.
