"Good! I'll arrange for someone to head over immediately." Fang Ni was instantly anxious upon hearing Ye Hao's report...
How could she not be? Heavy weapons, multiple high-powered sniper rifles, domestic M4 automatic rifles, and even rocket launchers had appeared in the city. Any of these falling into a crowd could cause major harm. If there were a large-scale gunfight, robbery, kidnapping, and other incidents, it would be troublesome.
The most important point is that if the insurgents fired heavy weapons into the crowd, the casualties caused would be the real problem, and the responsibility for national security would definitely be first and foremost.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Ni immediately called her father, Fang Zhongtian. Her level of authority was not high enough; she could only arrange some local Ministry of State Security personnel for miscellaneous tasks. To deploy the Ministry's elite troops in cooperation with local police required orders from the highest leader. And the Ministry of State Security was an independent entity, with Fang Zhongtian as its top leader.
"Hello! Dad, Ye Hao is in Peng City... Quickly send someone to support him. Otherwise, if there are large-scale casualties, our Ministry of State Security will be hard-pressed to fulfill its duty." Fang Ni quickly briefed Fang Zhongtian on Ye Hao's position and the situation encountered.
Fang Zhongtian also immediately contacted the local Ministry of State Security upon hanging up the phone, instructing them to cooperate with the local military to annihilate the insurgents.
Originally, Fang Zhongtian didn't want the military involved, but the other side had too many heavy weapons. To minimize casualties, he could only send fully armed soldiers; at least this would reduce the casualties among the combatants.
Meanwhile, Ye Hao began engaging in a counterattack.
After Ye Lang left, he quickly moved to the opposite building, instructing the remaining men to surround the building where Ye Hao was located. Each of them had a walkie-talkie, and out of fifteen rifles, twelve were still in their hands. They spread out and laid ambush in various spots.
"Everyone pay attention, find concealed spots to lurk without fail. Moreover, the enemy has sniper rifles, be mindful of light reflections." Ye Lang was worried that Ye Hao might take out something else, so he urged everyone to be extra cautious.
After all, holding a sniper rifle in a high place, if sunlight hit the sniper scope, it would emit a bright glow, easily revealing one's position no matter how well hidden.
"Understood." Twelve people with sniper rifles concealed themselves on various floors, waiting for the target to appear.
"Fei Gou, is his location suitable for sniping?" Ye Lang knew that everyone had their own specialties, so he didn't look at the temperature detection instrument himself but had Fei Gou report the location instead.
"It's not suitable. There are cover objects where he is, but I'm curious as to why half of his body has lost temperature." Fei Gou looked at the temperature detection instrument with confusion, finding that Ye Hao's upper body had temperature, while his lower body was blank, without warmth.
"Impossible?" Ye Lang shook his head disdainfully, thinking it must simply be a malfunction of the temperature detection instrument.
"Boss, it really is like that. His upper body still has temperature, but the lower part has already lost it." Fei Gou confirmed again while looking at the data on the instrument, but at this moment, a sniper shot rang out from the opposite building.
"Bang!"
It was Ye Hao who pulled the trigger. After reporting to Fang Ni, he removed his jacket, then had Qianqian use electricity to make the clothes emit body heat. He himself had his body's warmth cloaked by the eighth-generation system and quietly lurked on the highest floor.
As he reached the top floor, he saw someone lurking by the window opposite. If he were downstairs, he would certainly not see him, but having climbed to the rooftop, Ye Hao was able to accurately aim at him.
The opponent was also elite. After Ye Hao shot one of their comrades, they all looked up toward the rooftop as a group. Although Ye Hao ducked back after firing, the sound of the gunfire unmistakably came from the rooftop.
"Fei Gou, what's going on? When did he get to the rooftop? Shit." Ye Lang's face contorted with anger, yet his body involuntarily backed away a few steps.
Now, standing at the window ledge, he was also afraid that Ye Hao might spot him and take him out with a single shot.
"Boss, the thermal tracker shows he's still in the previous position. As for how he got to the rooftop, I have no clue. But boss, I want to go and take him out." Fei Gou snarled.
He hadn't acted before because he'd been lurking here, intending to cover Ye Lang. But now, as Ye Lang was forced back, he was unwilling to accept it. Their team had never failed in a mission. Failing now was unacceptable to him, so he wanted to personally go and deal with Ye Hao.
His martial arts skills were at the third stage, the same as Ye Lang's. However, because Ye Lang had been active longer, he became the leader, and Fei Gou willingly followed him. Otherwise, he would have long become the leader of another team.
"No, that kid has too many tricks up his sleeve, endless tricks. Once you get close to him, he'll pull out all kinds of strange and curious things, smoke bombs, flashbangs, those things in his hands come out as easily as having a meal." Ye Lang, looking back now, still felt a bit scared. If they hadn't retreated, perhaps they'd be cold corpses by now.
"Boss, I'll be careful. Let me go take him out?" Fei Gou called out again, unwilling to accept the situation.
"I don't want to lose you, my brother." Ye Lang slapped Fei Gou's shoulder hard, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "That kid's upstairs, Wu Quan, Dong Long, Er Gou... hold each floor securely, don't give him an opportunity."
"Understood." Eleven people aimed their sniper rifles at the building where Ye Hao was located.
After taking down one person, Ye Hao took a puff of his cigarette and ran to the lower floors. Although Qianqian could help him detect the position of the opponents, they were hidden within the walls, forcing him to change locations for point shooting.
He went down to the third floor and approached the window.
"Bang!"
Someone on the seventh floor opposite fired shots rapidly toward his spot, which made Ye Hao quite frustrated.
If it hadn't been for Qianqian constantly monitoring the enemy, Ye Hao wouldn't have been able to dodge so quickly. At present, he could only find opportunities to shoot when the opponent was off guard.
Ye Hao climbed up again to the fifth floor. Although this up-and-down running was tiring, at the moment he had to keep moving. If the opponents became settled, they would surely abandon the sniper rifles and come up with heavier weaponry.
Meanwhile, the head of the local Ministry of State Security in Peng City contacted the local military. After consulting with the commander of the Lingnan military district, the military quickly sent out forces.
The ten military vehicles roared past fiercely, with the police having already cleared the streets for them along the way.
Five minutes passed in a hurry, and Ye Lang glanced at his watch when his private phone rang.
"Retreat immediately." A middle-aged man's voice came through the line, their highest contact in Peng City, Huaxia.
"Why?" So many of Ye Lang's brothers had died; he couldn't just let Ye Hao get away just like that. No matter what, he had to take down Ye Hao.
"I said, retreat." The man's cold voice came through the phone.
Ye Lang reluctantly hung up the phone, but just then a gunshot rang out. This wasn't the sound of a Barrett M82, so it must have been from Ye Hao.
"Report." Ye Lang shouted into the walkie-talkie.
After the report came back, it was indeed that another of his men had died. Ye Lang's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared into the walkie-talkie, "Fire the rocket launcher."
"Boss!" The crowd was shocked, firing a rocket launcher in the city...
"Fire it." Ye Lang roared once more.
"Yes!" On top of another building, one of the brawny men lifted the rocket launcher and fired it toward the building where Ye Hao was.
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
A loud explosion sounded, and the glass of the building where Ye Hao was shattered into pieces, with several parts inside burning fiercely.
"Continue."
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
Another loud explosion came, with the fire spreading from the first floor of Ye Hao's building to the second, even reaching the third floor.
Ye Hao was by a window on the third floor. Although some debris from the opponent's rocket had scattered into his flesh, it didn't affect his normal movement much.
Ye Hao aimed at the person holding the rocket launcher on the other building and fired directly...
"Bang!"
The sniper shot from Ye Hao blasted a bloody hole in the forehead of the person holding the rocket launcher, causing him to drop it.
At that moment, another person lying down jumped up and caught the falling rocket launcher, then fired it toward Ye Hao's position.
"Good!"
Ye Lang, Fei Gou, and the others shouted in approval, thinking Ye Hao was as good as dead—how could they not be happy?
Unfortunately, Ye Hao had been keeping an eye on their people, so naturally, he wouldn't let the rocket launcher hit him. After sniping the person, Ye Hao immediately used Instant Flash to move to the entrance of the fourth floor from the third, rendering their shot ineffective.
Ye Hao quickly reached the fourth floor. The person on the opposite building, thinking Ye Hao was dead, smiled happily, still holding the rocket launcher.
"Bang bang!"
Ye Hao didn't hesitate, first taking out the person with the rocket launcher, the primary threat, ensuring it wouldn't follow him.
The other shot hit another man in black who had foolishly stepped out when the rocket hit the third floor. With such a good opportunity, Ye Hao couldn't pass up the chance to take him out!
"Shit, he's not dead." Ye Lang shouted in anger and pain. So many of his brothers had died, and Ye Hao seemed unscathed.
At this time, his phone rang again.
"Damn it, Ye Lang, do you want to try the organization's restructuring? If you don't retreat, I will make you regret it." The middle-aged man on the other end sounded anxious. He was the overall person in charge of the organization in Peng City. If Ye Lang and the others failed and got captured, his situation would be dire.
If the local government in Peng City traced Ye Lang and caught him, the organization's entire operation there would be ruined.
Ye Lang was startled when he heard that—organizational restructuring...
Thinking this, Ye Lang decisively issued the order. Though he was reluctant, he suppressed his resentment and commanded, "Retreat immediately." (To be continued.
