Chapter 878: He Yuzhu Snipes the Enemy

Ershuan's orders came through the walkie-talkie one after another, and the security personnel of the He Family motorcade understood everything in an instant.

None of them panicked; the vehicles continued to run steadily, not revealing a single flaw.

That Volvo, however, acted as if it had gone mad, howling as it dashed past the motorcade, even showing off a bit.

He Yuzhu took the walkie-talkie from Ershuan's hand, pressed the talk button with his finger, and said, "Listen up, everyone. There might be an ambush ahead; the car that drove the fastest just now was reporting our position. For our motorcade, vehicles one through six, continue to slow down and move forward. Vehicles seven through ten, guard the RV for me."

"Vehicle 1 understands." "Vehicle 2 understands." "Vehicle 3 understands."...

All vehicles followed He Yuzhu's deployment, each slotting into its position; not a single one was in disarray.

He Yuzhu got out of Ershuan's command vehicle and turned to get into his own.

"Boom—"

That heavily modified super Jeep shot to the very front of the line like a wild beast.

The six security vehicles behind it surged up closely, tires crushing the road surface and kicking up a sky full of dust.

He Yuzhu turned on the Scanning System, eyes fixed on the screen, scanning everything in the surroundings.

The motorcade continued to move forward.

He Yuzhu's car led the way, followed by six security vehicles, and further back, five security vehicles tightly guarded the RV—He Daqing and Shen Guizhi were inside.

Shen Guizhi couldn't help but ask, "Father of his, what exactly is going on?"

He Daqing lowered his voice, "It seems like someone is planning to waylay us ahead. But don't you worry, we have so many security guards."

He Yulu leaned over, her eyes shining, "I want to go down and take a look."

Shen Guizhi grabbed her, "Don't go causing trouble for your brother."

He Yulu was pouting when she suddenly saw the car Lin Wanning and He Yaozu were sitting in actually catching up to the motorcade in front.

She immediately cried out, "Dad, look! Sister-in-law has caught up, why can't I go?"

He Daqing glared at her, "They are both doctors; they are going up because they are afraid someone might get hurt and need emergency treatment. What can you do?"

"I can shoot a gun too."

"Girl, I think your brain still isn't working right," He Daqing sighed. "If the road-blockers aren't even as good as you, then you going is redundant. If those bandits are truly formidable, you'd just be throwing your life away."

He Yulu curled her lips, muttering defiantly, "I just want to see how capable my brother really is. You all brag about him every day, but I've never seen it once."

He Daqing was silent for a moment, his voice softening, "That is because you were born in a peaceful era."

The motorcade traveled for another half hour or so.

A mountain appeared ahead; it wasn't very tall, likely a spur of Mount Tai.

To pass this stretch of road, one had to go through two low hilltops.

He Yuzhu glanced at them, and an alarm went off in his heart—this place was absolutely perfect for an ambush.

He immediately ordered, "All security vehicles, slow down, find cover, park behind me, and come over to collect weapons."

He Yuzhu had already briefed everyone on this matter.

Although they worked in security, they generally didn't carry guns at all.

But this mission was special; without weapons to go head-to-head with those desperate criminals, it would mean total annihilation.

He Yuzhu couldn't be bothered with much else and directly took dozens of sniper rifles out from his space and placed them in the car.

The ones ambushing on the small hill ahead were all ethnic Chinese assassins hired by Elize, a full forty of them.

They had been squatting here for a long time, just waiting for the intelligence from Shi Lei's side.

That Volvo was indeed Shi Lei's tracking personnel.

This group hadn't realized at all that they had already been seen through.

After sending the message, they didn't retreat immediately as Shi Lei had instructed; instead, they parked the car and hid to the side to secretly watch the show.

They were also greedy for credit, wanting to see the situation with their own eyes so they could write a report later, claim the credit for themselves, and collect more bounty.

The assassin leader was named Chen Ze.

As soon as he saw the seven vehicles suddenly stop, his heart skipped a beat.

The key was that their weapons weren't good enough—they had only brought in four sniper rifles this time that had a range exceeding two kilometers.

The rest were all miscellaneous submachine guns that couldn't hit anything at such a distance.

Chen Ze didn't know what to do for a moment.

But He Yuzhu's side was moving very quickly.

The security personnel were collecting guns and ammunition, each more efficient than the last.

The guns He Yuzhu gave them were the M Military Barrett M82A1s he had seized in Babylon, with a maximum range of 2,500 meters, which was considered top-tier for this era.

The security guards took the guns and quickly dispersed, each finding cover.

He Yuzhu suddenly frowned—he saw Lin Wanning and He Yaozu had also followed, and the two were actually in line to collect guns.

"Lin Wanning, you are being reckless!" He Yuzhu said, lowering his voice.

"Zhuzi, there's an ambush ahead, right?" Lin Wanning looked at him and asked, "I want to join you in the action. We haven't worked together in decades, but I haven't let my skills slip."

"Reckless!" He Yuzhu's voice deepened, "This is a real battlefield with real blades and guns, not playing with BB pellets!"

Lin Wanning said firmly, "No. Even if I don't participate in the fighting, I must participate in the rescue. I am a doctor; if you get hurt, I have to save you."

As soon as she finished speaking, He Yaozu also spoke up, "Dad, to tell you the truth, my mother has taught me martial arts and how to shoot since I was little. Everything she knows, I know too. I also frequently attend various Training Camps. The two of us won't hold you back—besides, I also want to see with my own eyes just how capable my father really is."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu pressed his lips into a thin line, his face livid.

He knew the temperaments of this mother and son. Once they made up their minds, nine oxen couldn't pull them back. He opened his mouth to scold them, but the words stuck in his throat and he swallowed them back.

"Fine," He Yuzhu spat out the word helplessly, "Follow me up the mountain and take the high ground. It's safer over there."

The reason he arranged it this way was because he knew in his heart—that highest hilltop was very steep, and Lin Wanning and He Yaozu wouldn't be able to climb it at all.

He Yuzhu picked up his sniper rifle and was the first to dash toward the mountaintop.

Lin Wanning and He Yaozu followed closely behind.

At first, the two of them could keep up, but by the time they reached the Mid-Levels, the mountain grew steeper and steeper.

Lin Wanning and He Yaozu stopped, gasping for breath.

Looking at He Yuzhu—not only did he not stop, but his speed actually increased; he was like a cheetah, climbing the mountain as if walking on flat ground.

He Yaozu had practiced rock climbing since he was a child and was an expert wherever he went, even having won awards.

But compared to his father, the difference was not just a little bit.

"Mother, don't go up any further," He Yaozu said, panting. "I can keep up with Dad."

Lin Wanning nodded: "Be careful. Don't worry about your father; he has great abilities."

Only then did He Yaozu realize it.

He had almost never taken seriously what his mother had told him since he was a child.

Seeing this today, his father was indeed formidable—a sixty-year-old man who could run better than him, someone in his thirties.

He Yaozu climbed another few dozen meters and looked up to see that He Yuzhu was already almost at the summit.

Just then, a sniper suddenly poked his head out from the summit, aiming his rifle.

He Yaozu saw him, but it was too late to raise his own rifle, so he shouted: "There's an enemy above!"

"Bang!"

The shot rang out, but it wasn't He Yuzhu who was hit; instead, the sniper's head exploded like a rotten watermelon.

Until his death, he couldn't understand—how could someone still climbing a steep rock face have spotted him, how could he possibly be faster than him, and how could he be so accurate?

He Yaozu was also terrified by the gunshot; thinking his father had been hit, he pulled his own trigger.

"Bang!"

When he looked up, the sniper's head had already been blown apart; it wasn't his shot, it was his father who had acted.

Bright red blood dripped down from the rock.

The feeling in his heart was truly indescribable.

Was his father a god? How could he be so fast?

He Yuzhu had already vaulted onto the summit, grabbed the Walkie-talkie, and ordered: "Everyone, fire!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang—"

The gunfire erupted into a roar.

He Yuzhu raised his Telescope to look across; several enemies had already been hit and fallen to the ground. The firepower of the He Family security personnel kept the opposition from even raising their heads. This gave He Yuzhu an opportunity—his position was excellent, looking down from a height with an unobstructed view, and those bandits had nowhere to hide in his eyes.

He Yuzhu began to fire.

Almost one shot for one person, every shot fatal.

He Yaozu finally climbed up, lying behind his father, his eyes full of admiration.
