Chapter 270: I’ve Been Looking For You for a Long Time

Chapter 270: I’ve Been Looking For You for a Long Time

Bang bang bang…

Gunshots erupted from the cargo ship.

Bullets flew toward Xiao Yu and the others.

A breathtaking scene unfolded.

Neither Xiao Yu nor anyone else slowed their pace.

They surged forward like a pack of running wolves, launching a frenzied charge.

Bang! Bang!

Rat-a-tat-tat…

From the armed helicopter and the dock, bullets rained down.

A terrifying barrage smothered the cargo ship.

In sync with Xiao Yu and his comrades’ assault…

The mercenaries began a desperate counterattack.

They knew better than anyone else

that if Xiao Yu and his group boarded the cargo ship, their fate was sealed.

As long as the ship could pull away from the dock, there might be a sliver of survival.

A few mercenaries braved the hail of bullets to break out from their hiding spot,

aiming to shoot at Xiao Yu and his mates sprinting toward the boarding ramp.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

The roar of rapid fire exploded in the hands of Xiao Yu and his team.

Two mercenaries were killed on the spot.

Bang bang!

In the distance, the heavy sniper opened up.

Two more mercenaries were shot dead.

Pew pew pew!

From the armed helicopter, four rifles unleashed their fire onto the mercenaries on the cargo ship.

Until… a figure stepped onto the vessel.

Ding ding!

Two pull-tabs clung to a training uniform.

Smack smack!

Two pressure buttons snapped off from a pair of hands.

Xiao Yu swung his arms, launching two hand grenades.

Boom!

One grenade struck a mercenary about ten meters away, shattering teeth and blasting into his mouth.

The other exploded against a container,

rebounding and scattering near several mercenaries.

Boom! Boom!

A high-explosive grenade detonated.

The unfortunate mercenary hit by the blast disintegrated into chunks of flesh.

Behind a container,

four mercenaries were killed instantly by the grenade’s explosion.

While dashing again, Xiao Yu’s mind raced frantically.

Seventeen people – were there only seventeen on the cargo ship?

Initially, two had been taken out by a sniper and another two by a machine gun.

During the charge, four more fell.

Five more were killed by grenade explosions…

If only his math teacher hadn’t been a P.E. coach,

that would leave four survivors, right?

Among them, two were ordinary civilians?

The boss?

Who was the other ordinary man?

A name suddenly flashed across Xiao Yu’s mind.

Hua Xiangyang!

He was an accomplice of Shen Li – the suspect in the killing of police officers in Capital City S and the theft of the Fake Currency Circuit Board!

As for the mercenaries, Xiao Yu completely disregarded them.

It was Hua Xiangyang and that boss he truly sought!

Bang!

Sprinting at full tilt, Xiao Yu crouched to dodge a bullet.

With all his system abilities and unlocked skills active,

it was nearly impossible for him to incur an injury.

Boom!

Crouched low, his legs suddenly propelled him as he slammed his knees into the entrance of the cargo ship’s cockpit.

Rumble!

Under the force of his Bear Force, the door was smashed open, crashing down on someone.

At the same moment,

Xiao Yu’s feet stepped onto the door.

Crash! Crunch!

The person under the door met a grisly end amid screams and cracking bones.

Just as Xiao Yu stepped through the door,

a shadowy streak silently lunged at his neck.

Ha… Xiao Yu didn’t even turn his head.

Moments before that dark flash could pierce his neck,

he ducked and bent forward, moving like a phantom.

Xiao Yu emerged behind his would-be assassin.

Smack!

He gripped the man’s neck and lower back.

Easily hoisting a body weighing at least 180 jin above his head,

while planting one knee to the ground.

With both hands locked on, he yanked the man down.

Crunch!

A crisp sound rang out.

The moment his knee met the man’s spine,

the man’s face contorted in a mix of confusion and despair, his eyes vacant.

His body went limp, sliding off Xiao Yu’s knee…

but he wasn’t dead.

Lying on the ground, a glimmer shone in his eyes.

Even his fair skin flushed with a last burst of red.

He couldn’t speak, yet those piercing blue eyes never left Xiao Yu.

“I once heard a saying: Whoever violates our homeland, no matter how far they are, shall be punished!”

Xiao Yu slowly rose. “It’s simple – anyone who has ever threatened or invaded our nation’s security or territory, no matter where they are, we have the means to track you down and reduce you to dust. But unfortunately, you never even qualified for a proper pursuit!”

0…in need of applause…

Crack!

Booted feet stamped on his neck as Xiao Yu strode away…

Were all the mercenaries wiped out?

Xiao Yu wasn’t so sure.

Could it be fake?

No.

If they were fully armed like Special Forces or National Security,

even if they were wiped out, the cost would be astronomical for both sides.

Alas, the mercenaries’ strongest weapon was merely a pistol.

How do you go head-to-head in a firefight with snipers, machine guns, assault rifles, and submachine guns?

Not to mention facing someone who’s practically cheating.

Bullying without honor?

Did we invite the mercenaries into the country?

…………….

Since they’re here, if they don’t die, who will?

……

Inside the cargo ship’s hold,

Xiao Yu strolled along a metal corridor.

He walked slowly, wrinkling his nose a few times.

A mix of odors drifted around him.

Three people?

Wasn’t the recon report indicating there should be seventeen on board?

Who was this eighteenth person?

Two of those on board didn’t even smell like locals!

And the other… Hua Xiangyang?

Suddenly,

Xiao Yu halted at a warehouse door.

Someone was hiding behind it.

Gripping the doorknob, Xiao Yu pushed the door open.

Abruptly,

a force thrust out.

No, it wasn’t just brute force.

It was a military knife – a trilateral military knife.

In his sight, Xiao Yu studied the spiraling patterns etched onto the blade.

Yes, it was this very knife – the one used not long ago to kill a policeman.

The bodies of two slain officers still lay in the morgue.

Smack!

Xiao Yu yanked the hand clutching the military knife closer.

He brought the man’s face near and sniffed.

Sure enough, there was the unmistakable scent of blood!

Crunch!

The man’s wrist shattered… before he could even cry out.

Boom!

Xiao Yu’s boot struck the man’s chest and abdomen, pinning him to the ground.

Staring calmly at the terrified face before him, Xiao Yu grinned like a demon.

“Hua Xiangyang, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”

Xiao Yu bent down, scrutinizing the terror and pain etched on the man’s face.

“I’ve been looking for you for so long!”
