Chapter 408: Besieging the Corpse to Lure the Reinforcements

Just then, that taxi happened to be passing through the parking lot.

At a glance, Yu Dazhang saw that the person in the back seat was Zhang Chao's mother, with a little boy sitting beside her.

He wrenched the steering wheel hard, pulling up alongside that taxi.

Because they were so close, the two taxis were nearly touching, and from time to time sparks flew from the gap between them.

The taxi driver across from him had never seen anything like this and immediately hit the brakes to slow down.

Yu Dazhang took the opportunity to swing his car's nose sideways, blocking the way ahead.

At this point, the two cars were less than ten meters from those people below the ship.

This sudden turn of events caught those people off guard, and for a moment they couldn't figure out what was happening.

Taking advantage of the gap while they were stunned, Yu Dazhang opened the door and got out, using the vehicle as cover, and quickly circled around to the rear door of that taxi.

"Get out!"

Yu Dazhang held the gun in one hand, pointing it at Zhang Chao's mother, and reached out with the other to pull her down from the back seat.

Those people had now come to their senses and were rushing over one after another.

"Bang—" the gunshot rang out.

The man charging at the very front dropped on the spot.

There was no warning shot into the air at all—Yu Dazhang had aimed straight for the vital spot.

This worked far better than a warning shot; those people immediately stopped in their tracks, watching him with fierce, wary eyes.

Yu Dazhang was not afraid in the slightest.

At present, it seemed there was only one way left to keep the situation under control.

He said silently to himself:

"Today I'll have a go at besieging the corpse to lure the reinforcements."

Because Zhang Chao's mother was short and slight of build, it was impossible for Yu Dazhang to use her to completely shield himself.

But that was fine—he could still use her to cover his vital parts.

With such a moneybags shielding him in front, he refused to believe those people across the way would dare act rashly.

"Back off!"

Yu Dazhang shouted.

At the same time, he kept a close watch on every move across the way, not daring to relax even a fraction.

Why hadn't the reinforcements arrived yet?

Every second now felt unbearably long; his nerves were wound tight, and his grip on the gun unconsciously tightened a few degrees more.

"You don't have to grip so hard."

Zhang Chao's mother spoke, her tone mild as she said:

"A person my age doesn't have the strength to resist, so there's no need for you to be nervous."

Saying so, she raised her hand and patted Yu Dazhang on the forearm.

Yu Dazhang ignored her, still staring across the way.

At a moment like this, anything anyone said could be a distraction; the moment his attention wavered, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Sure enough, the instant her words faded, a broad-shouldered, burly foreigner across the way slowly reached his hand toward the small of his back.

This subtle movement immediately put Yu Dazhang on alert.

"Bang—"

That shot took the man right between the eyes.

After being hit, he didn't drop immediately; instead, he stared at Yu Dazhang with wide eyes, and the hand reaching toward his lower back dropped, a silver pistol clattering to the ground with a crisp sound.

He really had a gun!

Yu Dazhang narrowed his eyes, and in the instant that foreigner fell, he issued another warning:

"Back up! Hands up—no funny business."

He had thought that dropping two men in a row would be enough to strike fear into them.

But the reality was completely beyond his expectation.

He saw one of the foreigners suddenly say something, looking rather flustered and exasperated.

Immediately after, those foreigners actually drew pistols from their persons all at the same time.

This time Yu Dazhang chose not to fire, because firing now would trigger a stress response from across the way.

So they couldn't understand Chinese… Yu Dazhang immediately realized where the problem lay.

The warnings he had just given—those foreigners couldn't understand them.

So in their eyes, he was simply shooting at them indiscriminately.

"If you don't want to die, then talk them into putting their guns down."

Yu Dazhang said this to Zhang Chao's mother.

In a certain sense, the two of them were now grasshoppers on the same string.

"Can we talk this over?"

The woman's voice was a little flustered, and she spoke in a pleading tone:

"I can give you money—more than you could spend in two lifetimes. I only beg you to let me go."

Yu Dazhang didn't answer; at this moment his full attention was on the gun-wielding foreigners across the way.

He noticed that one of the foreigners wasn't flustered at all, his muzzle was especially steady, and he had already taken aim at Yu Dazhang's head.

This sent a sharp sense of danger through him.

The instant that foreigner's finger settled on the trigger, Yu Dazhang fired at him without the slightest hesitation.

Strike first to gain the upper hand!

"Bang!" The shot struck the man squarely in his left eye.

The feel was too good... Yu Dazhang discovered that at this distance, he could hit exactly where he aimed.

He no longer wanted the people opposite to retreat.

What if he couldn't hit them from far away?

"You are truly insane!"

Zhang Chao's mother's voice was sharp and grating:

"Stop firing! If you provoke them, you will die too!"

Yu Dazhang seemed not to have heard her words at all, unaffected by any disturbance.

At this moment, he discovered a new situation.

Why weren't those five from the domestic side drawing their guns?

Could it be they weren't carrying weapons?

No.

How could they possibly have no weapons if they dared to deal in human trafficking on the sea?

While thinking this, he pulled the woman two steps to the side, allowing the taxi's hood to block their lower bodies.

If an emergency arose, they could immediately crouch down and use the taxi as cover.

Seeing that Yu Dazhang had no intention of letting her go, Zhang Chao's mother could only say to the people opposite:

"Fourth Brother, tell those foreigners to put down their guns. If anything happens to me, you won't get a single cent."

A middle-aged man opposite heard this and nodded at her.

Immediately, he turned his head and exchanged a few words in English with those foreigners.

Although Yu Dazhang didn't understand English, he had been observing the expressions of those foreigners.

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the expressions of those foreigners clearly changed somewhat.

They seemed hesitant and reluctant, but in the end, they all put down the guns in their hands.

Just then, two youths beside the middle-aged man suddenly reached into their chests and pulled out two pitch-black handguns.

Before they could aim, the sound of gunfire rang out again.

"Bang bang bang bang bang"

Five consecutive shots struck the two youths.

Everyone thought Yu Dazhang's attention would be focused on the foreigners holding guns.

Little did they know, he was truly guarding against those five from the domestic side.

Open enemies are not frightening; those always ready to ambush are the most headache-inducing.

At the same time, he also realized that the middle-aged man opposite was the most cunning.

Therefore, after taking down those two youths, Yu Dazhang directly turned his gun to aim at him.

"Bang"

Missed!

The middle-aged man seemed prepared for this; after the youths were shot, he immediately threw himself to the ground and rolled to the side.

Can you be faster than a bullet?

"Bang bang bang"

Yu Dazhang raised his hand and fired three more shots.

This time, not a single shot was wasted; all hit the middle-aged man, with one directly striking the heart area of his chest.

Seeing that Yu Dazhang not only avoided the trap but also counter-killed three people, the opposite side completely exploded, all raising their guns to aim at him.

Twelve shots fired.

Yu Dazhang was truly starting to panic now.

His issued gun was a Type 92, with a magazine capacity of fifteen rounds.

That meant there were only three bullets left in the gun.

And on the opposite side...

There were still six people.

Once the bullets were exhausted, those people opposite would absolutely not give him a chance to reload; at that time, he would be completely in a passive position, taking hits.

And now, there was no time for him to think too much; while the opposite side still cared about the safety of the benefactor, kill as many as possible.

"Bang bang bang"

Yu Dazhang directly emptied the magazine; two more people on the opposite side fell to the ground.

This time, the remaining people finally panicked, no longer caring about Zhang Chao's mother's life or death, and began to retaliate wildly.

At the very moment Yu Dazhang pulled Zhang Chao's mother down into a crouch, the guns on the opposite side fired.

"Bang bang bang bang bang~"

Bullets rained down towards their direction.

Because the height of the taxi hood was relatively low, Yu Dazhang's crouching speed was ultimately half a beat too slow.

He felt something hit the top of his head, and pain also came from his left shoulder.

It's over, I've been shot!

Yu Dazhang had been shot in his previous life; he still remembered that feeling vividly.

Out of ammunition, out of supplies, shot twice in the body...

What happened to the promised support?

I'm fucking gonna die!!
