252 Who said I will go with you? (2/2)

With how feeble her voice sounded, Jiang Chen suppressed the anger in his mind. Taking a deep breath, he used the calmest voice he could muster:

”How are you? Did they do anything to you?”

”… Not yet. Who... who are they?” Her voice was filled with despair and helplessness, but it didn’t sound stiff, so she didn’t receive any cruel treatment.

After confirming Xia Shiyu’s safety, Jiang Chen felt a little calmer.

Just as he wanted to gain more time for Ayesha, the communication was cut off from the other side.

”You had ten seconds to confirm the safety of the hostage,” Griss grinned, taking out a lighter and lighting another cigarette for himself. ”Now, your choice will determine the life or death of you and your girlfriend. You don’t have a lot of choices.”

Jiang Chen slowly dropped down the radio and looked at Griss in the eyes.

”Oh?”

[ I don’t think so .]

He added a sentence in his mind. The hand in Jiang Chen’s pocket threw the wireless tracking device into the storage dimension, then he took out a paper-thin remote and pressed the switch.

The broad-range signal jammer in the trunk of the Sonata parked outside of the warehouse instantly opened and blocked any signal within five kilometers radius.

”Grim, check his equipment.” Without concern for Jiang Chen, Griss turned his head and spoke to the comrade on the side.

”Okay, Boss.”

Twisting his neck while making a loud crackling sound, Grim walked to Jiang Chen with a wicked smile. He already made up his mind to teach the arrogant guy a lesson.

For example, accidentally breaking one of his nuts during the search…

”Before we leave here, we need to check your equipment to prevent you from wearing any tracking device. Of course, if you resist, there might be some unfortunate things that may happen.”

Looking at Grim walking towards him, Jiang Chen suddenly started laughing.

”Leave here? Who said I will go with you?”

When they heard this, all five people surrounding Jiang Chen were shocked.

Without giving them the opportunity to react, Jiang Chen immediately detonated the smoke grenade and EMP grenade in his pocket.

Buzz—!

The static buzzing noise echoed in the plant as the light bulb instantly blew out, leaving the entire plant into darkness. At the same time, smoke began to spread out from where Jiang Chen stood and hid his figure.

”Kill him!”

Griss roared out and instantly ordered the command to kill. At the same time, he raised his rifle and began to fire.

Tatatata-!

Fires splattered as the weaving bullets ripped through the smoke that hid Jiang Chen’s figure. The empty plant was filled with the sound of bullet explosion and the crispness of bullet shells hitting the ground.

Because of the eye's inability to adjust to the sudden change in light, everyone’s vision was shrouded in darkness. However, the people here were all seasoned soldiers and, even with their eyes closed, they could work together to prevent the target from escaping with the web of bullets they wove.

”Stop!”

The shooting stopped, and the smoke began to fade.

The plant returned to silence.

The thick smoke dispersed at a steady pace and gradually began to meld with the smoke risen from the rifles.

The five CIB agents in the middle of the plant still maintained their shooting position and locked on to the smoke.

Although the smoke had yet to disperse completely, no one questioned the ill fate of the Oriental man who didn’t recognize the situation.

It would be absurd to have escaped from the rapid shooting.

It was only protocol to maintain firing position.

”Boss, he must have died,” Grim said as he moved his joints.

Griss stared into the middle of the smoke.

The target must have died, but an unsettling feeling was growing in his mind.

The smoke was like the egg of the devil, something was about to walk out from it.

Was it an illusion?

But then, his eerie green pupils suddenly contracted, the calmness that belonged to an elite soldier instantly faded!

”God…” With hopelessness in his voice, Grim, who previously wanted to break Jiang Chen’s nuts, moved back shaking violently.

The surface of the steel armor reflected five frightened faces.

With the T3 power armor covering him, the revolving machine guns rotated rapidly as Jiang Chen unlocked the safety to the weapon module.

”Let’s play a game.”
