Chapter 259: Total Victory

Chaos erupted in an instant; the tide turned with a single breath. When the explosion sounded, everyone raised their guns and counterattacked, successfully securing heads, and by the end, the situation was utterly one-sided—this entire process took only two or three minutes!

More precisely, when the three squad leaders died and 003 turned against them, victory was already sealed!

In the end, gunfire ceased, leaving only two squad members fleeing in disarray, chased and slashed by 003—one with a leg shot, hopping on one leg, more pathetic than imaginable.

The main battlefield's fight was nearing its end, and Team Three, arriving near the explosion site, had suffered heavy losses. Though firelight illuminated parts of the night, darkness still spread everywhere—enemies couldn't possibly hide within the flames…

Before Team Three could locate the enemy, continuous gunshots rang out; by the time they locked onto the direction from the dark, five or six of their comrades were already dead!

Night was Zhang Su's best disguise, his greatest advantage. He hid in dark corners untouched by light, throwing grenades and striking from ambush—no martial virtue, but expert at sneaky brick-smashing, with devastating results. He nearly wiped out Team Three, and with those killed by grenades, he eliminated ten enemies total!

The three remaining members of Team Three hid behind cargo crates, finally salvaging their lives. Once they grasped the situation, their hearts and courage shattered, their fighting spirit gone—now they had only one thought: escape!

But before the three could figure out how to flee, Lu Yu, Zhao De, and others charged in!

"I surrender, I surrender, don't kill me!"

"Spare my life! I surrender!"

The three knew all was lost. They hurled down their weapons, dropped to their knees, buttocks high in the air, showing not a shred of resistance—only begging for their lives.

Thus, every member of the Azure Dragon Corps was either dead or surrendered—but the crisis was not yet fully resolved!

Because one person was still being chased by 003…

Yu Wen ran after Zhang Su toward the crowd, reporting as he went.

"Boss, we've won a total victory!"

Zhang Su patted Qi Xiaoshuai's shoulder, glanced around—the scene still held over a dozen people besides those tending to the wounded. It seemed few others had been injured beyond what he'd seen.

Qi Xiaoshuai, seeing Zhang Su approach, excitedly reported the situation.

Zhang Su emerged from the darkness, had no time to spare for the three kneeling surrendering men, and ran toward the crowd, asking: "Has anyone tended to the wounded?"

Yet they didn't know that during this battle, there was another unremarkable little warrior: Lucky.

His chest heaved violently, revealing his extreme excitement. In his view, despite casualties, this was already a great victory—since both sides were equally armed and equipped!

"You're all awesome, badass! Are you all okay?"

"Fine, fine, just a few scrapes—no big deal!"

The man being chased everywhere screamed wildly, panicked and directionless, but no one paid him any heed.

"Ahh… help! Save me!"

No one questioned why Zhang Su appeared only at the end—they all knew it was Zhang Su who went alone to monitor the Azure Dragon Corps, Zhang Su who triggered the explosion to cause chaos, Zhang Su who threw grenades for support, and Zhang Su who eliminated most of Team Three.

The United Village people lacked Tianma Island's experience; one of them, slow to dodge, died on the spot…

When an enemy fell but wasn't dead, Lucky would rush forward, snatching away their weapons at lightning speed, denying them any chance to counterattack.

Woof! Woof!

If Lucky hadn't placed the explosives under the vehicle, Zhang Su would have found it extremely difficult to carry out that entire sequence—he might have been exposed…

"I just bumped into something when dodging bullets at first—minor issue!"

Hearing the earlier dense gunfire, Zhang Su felt heavy in his chest. No matter how well-planned, any exchange of fire would inevitably bring injuries…

"Boss…"

"Yes, yes—the wounded have been sent to Wangshan Guesthouse. Nurse Zhong is unharmed and will treat them actively!"

He had seen Wu Lue shot in the leg, crawling on the ground toward cover; Yang Wenjie shot in the shoulder, blood gushing, dragged behind grain sacks by Guo Dachao; Zhao Xue had luck—shot in the chest, clearly blocked by her petrified skin, fell hard, in agony but not mortally wounded.

"Everyone worked hard! But you've got one more task—clean up the mess. I'll deal with that big bastard!"

Zhang Su took a deep breath, handed his weapon to someone nearby, then turned and searched the bodies of the Azure Dragon Corps members for stun devices.

"Uncle, I'll help! I know where those two died!"

Pang Dankun burst from the crowd, wearing only a down jacket, chest wide open, frantically pulling out a stun device: "Uncle, catch!"

Thwack.

Zhang Su caught the stun device Pang Dankun threw, gripped the switch—blue arcs crackled to life—and pointed toward the mountain ravine: "Go!"

Even if Tianma Island lit every lamp, it couldn't illuminate the entire guesthouse area—the power generators were limited, supplying only minimal electricity, so many places remained dark at night.

"That Shark Arm headed for the ravine—watch your step!"

Zhang Su turned on his flashlight, clipped it to his chest, so Pang Dankun could see the path clearly.

"Hey, with light, what's to fear? Uncle, don't you fall!"

Pang Dankun's flashlight dropped; he fumbled forward at first—but once Zhang Su's chest-mounted beam lit the mountain path, he darted and leapt like Sun Wukong frolicking in Huaguo Mountain.

Soon, the two reached the ravine. The scene before them made them pause.

Huff… huff…

A pile of minced meat.

Woof!

Lucky jumped in place, looking frantic—as if apologizing for making a mess here…

"Lucky, go back first—we'll handle this!"

Zhang Su's gaze sharpened. He refused to look at the "minced meat," then noticed Pang Dankun sneaking up to stun 003—he grabbed him and whispered: "I'll lure it back. You strike—stun it!"

"Oh, got it!"

Pang Dankun understood: if they stunned 003 here, they'd need a crane just to move it—and someone would have to guard it…

Sssshhh.

Zhang Su tore off a strip of cloth, took the spray bottle from Pang Dankun, sprayed it, then waved it at 003—but the thing ignored him completely, still immersed in chopping meat.

"What's going on…"

He stepped forward with the cloth, approaching within ten meters—then 003 suddenly reacted.

It halted, its movements sluggish, then turned its bulky body slowly. Zhang Su saw the dark hollows of its eyes glow faintly red—clearly triggered by something!

"Dankun, get back!"

Zhang Su warned, then turned and ran—he knew 003 was slow, but dared not let his guard down.

Soon, the man and the corpse returned to the open space of the camp parking lot.

This sight startled the Tianma Island members still cleaning up.

"Get back! Get back! Don't come closer!" Zhang Su guided 003 toward the cargo container, waving to clear the crowd.

Woof!

But before it could decide its next move, its body twisted violently.

Crackling, popping.

Pang Dankun slipped up behind 003 like a ghost and stunned it without hesitation.

Zhang Su spun around, rushed to 003's side, raised his own stun device, and jammed it into 003's exposed flesh.

Five or six seconds passed. The mountain of flesh collapsed onto its butt, toppled backward, and lay flat.
