Chapter 254: Moment of Terror

Chapter 254: Moment of Terror

There’s something wrong with this child!

Through the vision of Falcon’s Eye, Xiao Yu’s heart pounded furiously.

He sensed an unprecedented crisis.

His eyes locked onto the child, who was barely more than a few dozen meters away, ready to dash at any moment.

What could possibly be wrong with a six or seven-year-old?

Xiao Yu noticed terror etched on the child’s innocent face.

And not just that—he saw tears welling in the child’s eyes.

He witnessed the child’s desperate move: a small body arching backward as it ran.

At the same time, there was something odd about the child’s clothing…

No, more precisely, something was swollen on the child’s chest and abdomen.

What could that be?

A chill raced down his spine, and every hair on Xiao Yu’s body stood on end.

It was as if a bomb was about to set off in his chest.

Damn… Xiao Yu suddenly dropped into a half-crouch.

In the next moment, his legs struck the ground hard.

Bang!

The earth gave a muffled thud as Xiao Yu’s body was propelled forward.

In that instant, he shot forward like an arrow skimming the ground.

In the blink of an eye, he covered over ten meters.

Skill: Flea Bullet!

The sight left Wang Dong and the others utterly stunned.

It even left the couple in the distance dumbfounded.

Their eyes widened as they saw Xiao Yu rocketing from his original spot.

Regaining his senses, Xiao Yu reappeared right beside the child.

He moved in immediately after.

Everyone saw a leg strike—a blow like a cleaving battle-axe targeting the child’s midsection.

Everyone stood frozen in shock.

They couldn’t fathom why an adult like Xiao Yu would attack a child.

How could he bear to strike someone so young?

But…

Xiao Yu’s kick, though vicious in appearance, landed silently on the child’s chest and abdomen.

Not a sound accompanied it.

Yet, the force sent the child flying into the air along with Xiao Yu’s leg.

Soaring upward.

Flying straight toward… that couple!

At the split second the child was seen hurtling through the air,

the expressions on the couple’s faces changed.

A flash of terror appeared in their eyes!

Why terror?

When ordinary people see their child in danger,

especially parents,

shouldn’t their faces reflect deep worry instead?

What are you so afraid of!

Bang…

A heavy footfall resounded as Xiao Yu launched once more.

While the airborne child captured everyone’s attention,

Xiao Yu, like a sprinting leopard, instantly outpaced the child in midair.

He appeared before the couple, his gaze fixed on the man and his hand.

Crack!

Xiao Yu’s hands clamped around the man’s hand.

With Bear Force, he snapped it effortlessly.

An object resembling a toy remote fell from the man’s grasp.

Twisting his body, Xiao Yu ignored the falling object and stretched out his arms.

Smack!

He gently caught the child as it descended from the air.

Using the momentum, he stepped back to absorb the force from the child’s fall.

Twisting his waist, turning, and taking deliberate steps,

he reappeared in front of the woman.

Holding the child close—with his thigh almost against the child’s body—

Xiao Yu lowered his head and delivered a headbutt.

It struck the woman’s nose solidly.

Bang… crack!

The woman howled in pain, closing her eyes tightly.

She flailed her arms wildly and staggered backward…

Yet, as she swung her arm, a pistol came into view for Xiao Yu.

With a swift gesture, the child in his arms was casually tossed toward a nearby greenbelt.

Dropping low, Xiao Yu pounced on the retreating woman like a leopard.

Even while still airborne, he bent his leg and drove his knee forward.

Bang!

At the moment his knee met the woman’s face,

its brutal force launched her high into the air.

She landed lightly on the ground, her body spinning at the waist.

Xiao Yu’s thigh whipped like a lash, swinging powerfully.

Bang… a fierce whipping kick.

It struck the man’s cheek.

The man didn’t even get a chance to react before he collapsed with a heavy thud!

“Huff!”

Xiao Yu let out a heavy, relieved breath.

Ignoring the unconscious couple, he strode directly toward the child.

Rip… the child’s shirt was torn open.

A bomb appeared before Xiao Yu.

Only then did everything become clear.

Wang Dong and the others rushed to Xiao Yu’s side.

When they saw the bomb,

and noted the myriad steel balls embedded within it,

their faces went ashen with shock!

Just imagine,

what chaos would erupt if the child reached them!

Wang Dong’s eyes dropped to the ground as his pupils constricted violently.

He stared intently at what should have been the remote falling from the man’s hand,

while the other team members stood frozen, staring at the Homemade Pistol by the woman.

Had Xiao Yu not noticed in time—

they would have been wiped out completely!

Who really thinks all criminals are brainless?

When they scheme while committing crimes, it’s downright terrifying.

These are the Terrorist Cells!

“They’ve been exposed!”

Xiao Yu reached out, his hand landing on the sobbing child.

It fell onto the bomb.

With the agile dexterity of a butterfly, his ten fingers danced swiftly, leaving onlookers dazzled.

Within mere seconds,

the bomb strapped to the child was disarmed and its trigger removed.

Skill: Bomb Disposal Expert!

“Hmm!”

Coming to his senses, Wang Dong nodded heavily.

The other team members had long been on high alert.

That required no reminder from Xiao Yu.

Otherwise, the earlier scene would not have unfolded.

Nor would anyone have dared to blow them up.

This confirmed one thing.

The Terrorist Cells’ hideout was right here!

“Surveillance?”

After disarming the bomb, Xiao Yu scanned the surrounding area and discovered several security cameras inside the power plant.

They had caught his eye as soon as he entered.

At the time, he thought the cameras were a normal fixture of the factory.

Little did he know, the Terrorist Cells had hijacked them!

Buzzing filled the air!

The roar of helicopter rotors echoed overhead.

Two armed helicopters hovered in the sky.

Xiao Yu could ‘see’ two snipers mounting sniper rifles on the helicopters.

Even more astonishing, one helicopter had a mounted cannon installed!

What on earth was that?

The legendary Flame God Cannon – capable of firing five to six thousand rounds per minute!

Could it really be that over the top?

Not at all – they were facing a group of Terrorist Cells!

Shifting his gaze, he paid no mind to the two helicopters slowly descending.

Xiao Yu looked toward a large factory not far off.

This factory was a bit unusual – old and somewhat run-down.

It was surrounded by overgrown weeds and dotted with towering trees.

The building stretched over a hundred, nearly two hundred meters, enveloped by these trees.

On the factory’s rooftop… a person lay prone!
