232 Interception (2/2)

”Yes, sir.”

Cheng Chusheng responded.

SWOOSH~

Suddenly, an overpowering sense of fear took hold of everyone on the abandoned dock. An incoming projectile! It was a rocket-propelled grenade, and it launched from the very fishing vessel they had spotted earlier. And it was streaking in at horrific speed, as the blast of propellant from its tail made a terrifying noise as it tore through the air.

”Get down, hurry, get down!”

Wang Yongjia shouted hoarsely. A rocket-propelled grenade could shoot down a low flying aircraft out of the sky, and it could readily destroy a reinforced bunker. Its effective kill range was a radius of fifty meters. It was a lethal weapon.

They all heard Wang Yongjia's warning, and everyone automatically took cover. As Wang Yongjia got down on the ground, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Luo. He had his black QSZ-92 pistol in his hand, and he flung it hard at the direction of the incoming projectile. It rapidly spun as it flew at a shockingly fast speed across the dawning sky. It was traveling in a straight trajectory toward the rocket-propelled grenade that was roaring in toward them. Would it intercept the incoming ordinance?

It did. The two collided.

KABOOM!

The rocket-propelled grenade blew up with a deafening roar. A wave of heated air spread instantly in all directions, as the explosion expanded in destructive shock waves across its blast radius. The effects were visible to the naked eye, as a fiery ball of flame lit up the dim skies and violently disturbed the water's surface on the calm sea.

Against the glare from the ball of flame in the sky, an enigmatic figure stood alone. Xiao Luo.

Everyone looked on in absolute shock; the police, Hei Lang's henchmen, and the smugglers were simply stunned to silence. They had all watched war movies with preposterous scenes of its heroes performing impossible feats. Now, to see with their own eyes someone intercepting a rocket-propelled grenade by throwing a pistol at it, was utterly beyond belief.

The speed of a rocket-propelled grenade reaches 300 meters per second. It would have been next to impossible to track its trajectory with the naked eye, let alone intercept it.

”He's a monster!”

On the fishing boat, the man with the fish-eyes stared open-mouthed, in absolute shock. He fired the rocket-propelled grenade confident that it would kill Xiao Luo and those around him, but instead, he had intercepted it with nothing more than a pistol. Was this man even human?

He put down the smoking launcher and pushed the lever to increase the fishing vessel's speed, intending to get away as fast as he could. He could not believe that there were still people like Xiao Luo in this world. He made up his mind never to ever set foot in this country again.

On the dock, Xiao Luo turned and walked toward Wang Yongjia, extending a hand to help him up.

”Captain Wang, are you alright?”

”I... I'm fine...”

Wang Yongjia was still in a state of shock. He grappled with the way he was feeling at the moment. He couldn't help thinking that Xiao Luo was not from this world!

...

In the girls' dorm in Huaye, after her endless and persistent efforts, Bai Ling finally got past the firewall of Mie and obtained the IP address -- ”Destroy.”

”Why, you're surprisingly in Jiangcheng. Mie, I have finally caught you!”

Bai Ling's pretty face lit up with a smile of triumph, a smile that carried the sweet satisfaction of finally having things her way.

Next to her, An Huanhuan, who had been lying on her bed playing games on her tablet, sent a message to the headquarters of NSA: ”Bai Ling had located Mie's IP! ”
