Chapter 103: Bringing Trouble (Third Update)
Why attack the modified large truck first? Because... it had searchlights on the roof!
The convoy carried more than three searchlights. Qu Jianlei only shot out three because only three were lit at that time.
The convoy knew there was a Divine Shooter targeting the searchlights, so of course, they wouldn’t continue to attract fire.
Searchlights aren’t common goods that you can find everywhere, and they could also lead to casualties, is it worth it?
But when it comes to reestablishing vigilance, they must bring them out, even if they get shot out, it’s still a warning, right?
Qu Jianlei chose to take out this truck not just because of the searchlights; it also looked difficult to deal with.
The vehicle was modified, and not in an ordinary manner; regular bullets couldn’t easily penetrate its defense.
The trouble it posed was second only to that of an armored vehicle, seeming even more challenging than the heavy-duty truck.
Qu Jianlei had noticed this vehicle during the first ambush, but it was in the shadows at the time, making it hard to aim for the gas tank.
This time, he fired off two consecutive shots, and two shells directly blew the truck up.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" someone screamed desperately.
Immediately after, the second vehicle also exploded, and Qu Jianlei didn’t even specifically target the searchlights.
By now, other vehicles had started up, desperately charging toward the Settlement, like startled sparrows. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI~Fire.net
In the end, the strength of a Settlement is truly astonishing, not something any random force can shake.
Especially a place like Zhou Six, which is even more powerful than an average Settlement.
The Sai Family’s convoy could domineer with impunity, but that was relying on the connections with the General Settlement, using the system or relationships to suppress.
Even if unauthorized guards don’t give face, the Sai Family’s investigators wouldn’t dare to act recklessly, as this is not the Hong District.
So if they were going to run, they would definitely head toward the Settlement, which had already been secretly agreed upon.
They were confident that no matter how ferocious Sha Qu was, he wouldn’t dare to attack the Zhou Six Residence Area—not even attack outside the city.
Firstly, they couldn’t win, and secondly, the consequences were too severe; even a temporary victory wouldn’t escape the endless pursuit by Zone Zhou Character.
Zone Zhou Character wouldn’t even need to post too many bounties; offering a resident status in a Settlement as a reward would suffice.
The reason the convoy hadn’t settled in the Settlement or outside the city was, ostensibly, not to disturb the investigation; in truth, it was mainly because of security concerns.
Living alone in the wild, without idle people around, while showing off their strong martial power, subtly showcasing bravado—what could be wrong with that?
In the past at Hongyi, the Sai Family had always done this—mainly because they had rivals of equivalent scale.
Now they encountered an irresistible attack, so they couldn’t care about much else and headed straight for shelter outside the city.
Yet even so, during the escape, four vehicles and seven or eight motorcycles didn’t forget to use firepower to suppress the attacking truck.
Elites and ordinary people are fundamentally different; you can’t deny that.
"Can’t you aim more accurately?" an exasperated voice yelled over the radio.
The next moment, after five consecutive loud explosions, Qu Jianlei finally blew up the fleeing armored vehicle.
He had long been gripped with resentment against this vehicle, but previously didn’t have the opportunity to target it; considering the gas tank was leaking, he hadn’t cared too much.
Now that they wanted to run, it was absolutely impossible. Blowing up this creature ensured the opposing convoy had no capacity for pursuit in the short term.
But looking at the other fleeing people, Qu Jianlei also felt a headache coming on.
Three vehicles were easy to identify, but the escape route was zigzagged, making it hard to aim.
And the seven or eight motorcycles darted around, making them even harder to catch.
Moreover, their movements seemed chaotic but were not.
Their goal was very clear: to rush into the town outside. Although they scattered, they still knew how to cover each other.
Qu Jianlei found that as he aimed and aimed, he couldn’t help but switch targets, doing so several times in a row.
He couldn’t help but sigh: these powerful forces truly have depth.
Their combat skills might be lacking, but knowing how to escape is indeed a remarkable skill.
It’s just like the great man’s core idea: Only by knowing how to protect oneself can one better eliminate the enemy.
Meanwhile, Qu Jianlei’s side was receiving counterattacks. Flower Scorpion’s driving was also jerky, with bumps.
It’s difficult to hit a moving target as a moving shooter.
Qu Jianlei fired two more shots, only managing to flip a single motorcycle, but the maneuvers of the other vehicles became more skillful.
With no other choice, he picked up the Vehicle-Mounted Machine Gun and started shooting ahead.
The rotary machine gun was also installed on the vehicle, but... the bullets were too few, he couldn’t bear to use them.
The key is that three of their most heavily armored vehicles were already taken out, so there was no need for such high-powered weapons.
Moreover, these small scattered motorcycles were best handled with the Vehicle-Mounted Machine Gun.
However, the opponent’s camp in the wild was too close to the Settlement, just over three kilometers away, and near the highway.
So within five minutes, they rushed into the market outside the city.
During this process, the machine gun disabled three motorcycles and riddled a truck with holes.
Yet that truck still managed to charge into the camp, its Life Force extraordinarily tenacious.
Interestingly, another truck wasn’t hit much, but two crew members were shot dead, which defied logic.
