1097: Chapter 1040: Firepower Crit!

A Fish in Sheep’s Clothing!

The battle suddenly erupted!

From the front and back rows of the pickup truck, gun barrels poking out of the windows spat out flames.

Dada dada…

Dada dada…

Continuous and accurate bursts of fire targeted the armed off-road vehicle.

Therefore, the bullets spray-fired from inside the pickup pinged and clanged, striking the top of the vehicle.

In an instant, sparks flew!

However…

After Tang Xiao accurately shot and burst the tire of the small cargo truck, she did not linger in combat.

She immediately rolled out of the vehicle and took cover beside the front of the car.

The armored off-road vehicle had been strengthened through modifications and could withstand small to medium caliber bullets.

But for relative safety, the front position of the vehicle was preferable.

Because most vehicles today have engines located in the front.

Whether it’s cast iron or aluminum alloy engines, they offer better protection than sandbags.

As she rolled out of the car, leaning on the hood, Tang Xiao swung her sniper rifle.

Without rigidly using the scope to aim precisely, she relied entirely on feel and touch, immediately firing continuously into the cabin of the pickup truck.

The 7.62mm caliber bullets used by her sniper rifle had considerable penetrating power, easily punching through the vehicle doors.

While Tang Xiao climbed onto the roof of the vehicle, Zhang Ren and the others quickly descended from theirs.

They immediately made combat preparations around several vehicles.

Gunfire was the signal for battle.

Suddenly, an array of light and heavy weaponry opened fire.

Sniper rifles, assault rifles, general-purpose machine guns, grenade launchers.

Bullets flew, grenades exploded!

Like a ‘narrow path meeting’ that suddenly erupts in battle on the highway, what mattered was firepower.

The initial response had to be a fierce storm of gunfire, overwhelming the opponent and leaving them powerless to fight back.

To fire shots one by one slowly?

That would be courting death!

Here, Tang Xiao’s counterterrorism squad suddenly unleashed their full firepower, fierce and precise.

In the blink of an eye, the pickup truck was riddled with holes, many holes blasted through it.

An armor-piercing grenade landed accurately in the bed of the pickup and exploded violently with a boom.

Amidst the dazzling fire and fierce explosion…

The entire pickup truck shook violently, like it was on a dirt airplane, with various parts scattering in all directions.

Meanwhile, the nearby van, having its right wheel shot off, did not stop.

Amid the piercing roar, it desperately accelerated in an attempt to escape.

Another pickup truck suddenly swerved to the side of the road.

Four people inside quickly jumped out and, using the pickup as cover, opened fire frantically.

Their assortment of weapons seemed diverse, but their setup was meticulous.

The SVD sniper rifle was responsible for precision shooting, the AK assault rifles for providing fire support, and the MP submachine guns for additional firepower.

That somewhat antiquated PKM machine gun, naturally, provided suppressive fire.

The PKM machine gun, developed in the last century, was known to be the lightest general-purpose machine gun at the time.

It could be equipped with a 250-round aluminum ammo box and weighed less than twenty kilograms in total.

For terrorists frequently engaged in warfare, the lightweight and reliable PKM machine gun, the ferocious fire of the AK rifles, and the decently accurate SVD sniper rifle, were known as their ‘Three-headed Reaper.’

And now,

After the four got out of the vehicle, they used the pickup as cover.

The PKM machine gun was mounted on the truck’s bed railing, and once the trigger was pulled, it didn’t let up.

The ferocious dakka dakka dakka of gunfire ripped through the air as they sprayed bullets wildly.

Those holding AK assault rifles and MP submachine guns fired continuously from both sides.

And the one with the SVD sniper rifle quickly leaned on the hood of the vehicle, taking precise shots one after another.

This sudden encounter battle,

The speed of their reaction was also quite swift.

Faced with such unbearably ferocious gunfire, there was no time to aim.

They just kept firing madly, trying to cover the escape of the van.

Thump—

Among the gunfire, a head burst and blood flew.

On the battlefield, machine gunners are undoubtedly the most attractive targets for incoming fire.

In a sniper’s hit-list, the machine gunner is sometimes even more of a priority than the officers.

Tang Xiao didn’t allow the bastard to fire fiercely for long; a direct shot blew up his head.

She worked the bolt, changing the aim.

One shot took down the gunman continuously spraying with an AK assault rifle.

Almost simultaneously.

Boom!!!

An armor-piercing grenade landed with precision.

Caliber is king!

The 40mm armor-piercing grenade instantly turned the pickup into a fireball.

At the same time, other precise firepower swept in.

In an instant, flesh and blood were splattered, torn apart.

As for the van that hadn’t escaped far, its right front wheel already scrapped as it barbarically forced a speed increase.

But no matter how fast it ran, could it outrun bullets and grenades?

Under the enveloping barrage of fierce gunfire, the entire vehicle quickly became immobilized.

In the roaring explosion,

Among the flames, countless white powdery substances suddenly soared.

At first glance, it seemed like a flour-transporting vehicle had been bombed.

But in reality…

“Holy shit!

So much drugs––!”

Aside from exclaiming, Tang Xiao quickly donned the protective mask she carried with her.

Before coming to Seleck, she had prepared for the event of a nuclear leak.

Everyone hastily put on their masks and hurried to instruct the drivers of other vehicles to keep their distance.

This sudden battle, from start to finish, lasted less than a minute.

Perhaps in peaceful and tranquil nations, many civilians wouldn’t be able to react.

They would be struck with panic, not knowing how to respond, crying and screaming; but not in Nabiya.

In this land of constant war and conflict, almost every day there’s gunfire and combat.

If a day goes by without seeing a shootout, that would actually be abnormal.

Therefore, this sudden outbreak of violence on the highway is no longer surprising to them.
