Chapter 227: Chapter 46: Losing Liu Nai_2

Boom, on the balcony of the second floor of the villa opposite Liu Nai’s house, a big Russian man knelt alone, carrying an AT-4 launcher on his shoulder, aimed at the front door of Liu Nai’s house, and pulled the trigger.

Thump, the missile, trailing a streak of white smoke, flew into the living room.

"Dodge." Zhang Hao roared, taking the lead in diving behind the sofa, chaos ensued in the living room.

Clang, the expected explosion did not occur. The bomb bounced a few times on the living room floor, spun into the wall, and came to a halt. Then, the casing opened, and thick white smoke billowed out from inside.

"Smoke bomb?" Li Yuanhang found it unthinkable, "Or a dud?"

"Hold your breath." Tang Zheng’s face changed dramatically. Could the enemy be using a biochemical attack? As he warned, he quickly pulled out a gas mask and put it on. His Firefly protective clothing had anti-poison and anti-radiation functions, but it lacked a face shield.

Yin Shang Wu had the quickest reaction, Tang Zheng had only just finished speaking when the lady with long black hair had already put on her gas mask. Lin Weiguo was a bit slower, followed by Qin Yan and Li Xinlan. Bai Guo, the fool, had just pulled out her mask but coughed due to her nerves and took a big gulp of the white gas, she was affected.

Thump, thump, the policeman and the leopard print lady collapsed to the floor, Fan Fan also couldn’t escape the outcome. Seeing this, Zhang Lanyu, who was holding her breath, ran blindly out.

"Want to get yourself killed?" Tang Zheng kicked her in the butt and knocked her aside. If the enemy had arranged for a sniper, going out now would make her the most obvious target.

"Protect Liu Nai and Ai Li, don’t worry about the others." Seeing that the two had also passed out, Tang Zheng let out a sigh of relief. This white smoke should contain a biochemical gas that induces fainting. After all, the Russian team wouldn’t kill the target girls.

"Zhang Hao also took the bait." Pang Meiqin’s tone was actually filled with schadenfreude. She felt that Zhang Hao was incredibly stupid to have fallen for such a simple trick.

"Stay alert, take the girls upstairs." Tang Zheng hoisted Ai Li with one hand while holding his rifle in the other, and headed for the stairs by memory. The white smoke was as thick as heavy fog, making it impossible to see anything in the living room.

Upon seeing that the living room had not fallen into the expected total chaos and all had lost their combat ability, Yelena decisively issued the second step force attack command.

Boom, the ceiling exploded, creating three large holes. Amid the falling rubble, six black shadows swooped down, quickly dispersed, and moved, with four engaging in close combat and two providing ranged suppression against those who had not fainted.

"Be careful." The white fog was too thick, Tang Zheng couldn’t see the other side at all, but the other side clearly had equipment akin to infrared vision goggles.

Bang bang bang, Tang Zheng was shot several times in the leg, even his rifle in hand was knocked away. If it hadn’t been for the fear of injuring Ai Li who was being carried by him, they would have given him a headshot.

"Fuck." Tang Zheng, who was usually always initiating the attack, had never suffered like this before. He felt extremely frustrated. At that moment, the white smoke around him suddenly surged, a human shape rushed over with a forceful wind, holding a machete in hand, aiming for Tang Zheng’s heart.

"You’ve gone too far, die!" Tang Zheng quickly activated Gravity Suppression, and the opponent’s attack immediately slowed down. Tang Zheng twisted his body to avoid the machete, flipped his wrist, pulled out his bronze sword with one hand, and stabbed it towards the opponent’s neck.

The opponent twisted his waist to dodge as well, and grabbed Ai Li’s clothes with one hand, intending to pull her away. At the same time, he also released his seed ability. A giant humanoid monster appeared behind Tang Zheng, grabbed Tang Zheng’s legs with both hands, stretched out forcefully, trying to tear Tang Zheng apart.

Tang Zheng immediately lost his balance, and the bronze sword he had just stabbed out also missed its target. He gritted his teeth, deciding to take a reckless chance, immediately switched out his bronze sword, took out his AK47 rifle, aimed it at the opponent’s head, and tightly pulled the trigger.

Dada dada, the whole living room was filled with dense gunfire, which now became even more chaotic, Tang Zheng, even holding the gun with one hand, had enough power to control the recoil,

Based on the height where the opponent’s arm grabbed Ai Li, Tang Zheng let loose at a few possible heights where his head might be, extravagantly exhausting a drum magazine with hundred rounds.

A sudden ’puk’ sounded by his ear, like the sound of a watermelon being smashed, then blood and viscous substances splashed onto the ground and onto Tang Zheng’s face.

The unconscious Ai Li and the opponent’s corpse fell to the ground together, and the monster that was previously tearing at Tang Zheng’s legs also disappeared. Tang Zheng dragged Ai Li behind him with one hand, while moving up the stairs and responding to the shooting sound coming from the white mist, without worrying about any friendly fire. After all, his team wore protective clothing, unless they got a headshot, they wouldn’t die.

"Doesn’t the opposite side have any ’newbies’ not wearing protective clothing?" Tang Zheng guessed that such remote attackers would be newbies because this task requires less than close combat.

There were shouting from the living room below, together with screams from Lin Weiguo and Li Xinlan, it seemed that they were injured by the opponents. Qin Yan and Yin Shangwu didn’t speak, it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.

"We might lose Liu Nai, but if we can protect Ai Li, there’s still hope." As soon as Tang Zheng reached the top of the stairs, he pushed Ai Li to the wall, then changed to a new clip, and launched a sweeping fire towards the stairs. Although the white mist had thinned out a bit, visibility was still limited. But it didn’t matter, Tang Zheng estimated the number of the opponent’s team, and felt that they should be coming up from below.

Sure enough, a man’s scream came from the stairs, together with the ’pupu’ sound of the bullets hitting the target. However, this person was apparently wearing protective clothing. He gritted his teeth against the gunfire and ran up.

"Fuck, go to hell." Tang Zheng grabbed two hand grenades with his other hand, quickly put them to his mouth to bite off the safety pin, then placed them on the stairs, and then dragged Ai Li towards the closest room he remembered, while his AK47 returned fire, sweeping the corridor in front of him to ward off any possible enemies.

Just as Tang Zheng dragged Ai Li into the room, the grenades at the stair’s entrance exploded with a loud bang. Flames and gun smoke surged out, and a screaming man was overturned by the shock wave in the corridor, rolling past the room’s entrance.

There was no biochemical white mist in the room. Tang Zheng pulled Ai Li, dragging her to the side of the bed before pushing her beneath it. Then he began to change the clip.

"They didn’t take my Thunderstorm rifle, did they?" Tang Zheng kept alert on the room door and balcony, then he mocked himself. He was actually worried about the security of the four flight attendants and Lin Weiguo.

"Should I take a look out of the window? They must be right outside." According to the direction of the biochemical missile, Tang Zheng estimated the position of the opponents’ hideout. However, after a glance at the balcony, he resisted the impulse to run over and launch an AT-4 missile at the opponents. He didn’t know what the situation was below, so he had to ensure Ai Li’s safety first.

"The opponent probably entered the second floor while we were speaking. Wait, I need to hold Ai Li tightly, I can’t let go." Remembering that the opponent could break through the ceiling, Tang Zheng quickly grabbed Ai Li with one hand and laid flat on the ground. If he was attacked by the opponent, and Ai Li was stolen directly, he wouldn’t have anywhere to cry. Also, he has to be careful of potential snipers from his opponents.

Tang Zheng’s cautiousness eventually paid off. Yelena, who had been watching everything Tang Zheng did through the mechanical monitoring ants she’d set up on the second floor’s rooms, decisively gave up the final attack. It could harm Ai Li, and most importantly, her target Liu Nai had already been taken away - the operation was successful.

"Dammit, we had such detailed preperation for so long and occupied such a large advantage, but still lost four people." Yelena was slightly dissatisfied, at the same time, she used this as an excuse to retreat. "Once the biochemical white mist disperses, you won’t be able to get away. Retreat quickly."

Five minutes later, the whole living room quieted down and the white mist also dispersed. Tang Zheng, who had already moved to a new position, didn’t want to shout to ask for any news. He was afraid of exposing his position.

"Little Tang, come down, it’s safe." Qin Yan’s voice was weak as she collapsed onto the sofa. Li Xinlan and Lin Weiguo sat on the ground, their bodies bearing wounds of various sizes, blood flowing from their skin and muscles.

Tang Zheng carried Ai Li down the stairs, just in time to see Pang Meiqin climbing up from the ground, going to Li Xinlan’s side to treat her wounds. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it at (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation.)
