Chapter 1279: Chapter 1284: Wearing a Suit

To say there’s no tension would be a lie, but there’s no way around it no matter how nervous one is.

The plane is dropping bombs from the sky, and there’s no way to outrun it. It’s just a matter of who’ll be unlucky enough to get hit.

Not only tense, Yang Yi is also regretting his decisions.

The cleaners want to retrieve the item they deliberately let go, so of course they would choose a less dangerous way. At least they should confirm Yang Yi’s identity before making a move to avoid accidental injury, but who knew it would be an airstrike?

If he had known about the airstrike, Yang Yi wouldn’t have changed cars.

Up to now, they still don’t know if it’s an attack aircraft or an armed helicopter in the sky.

Yang Yi rolled down the car window, stuck his head out and glanced up, then he saw a jet plane circling. Once it completes its turn, it would launch another wave of attacks.

Yang Yi pulled his head back in and shouted, "It’s an attack aircraft! Turn back!"

Reggie immediately drove the car in a large s-shape route.

Yang Yi grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted into it, "Where is Victor! Where is Victor! Has he left?"

Azar quickly responded.

"He’s in the city! I’ve got people watching him, no problem!"

Before Yang Yi could speak, he saw multiple plumes of sand suddenly spurting up from the ground on the left front side, followed by an off-road vehicle speeding by being blown into a ball of fire.

"Machine gun! Machine gun! This pilot is very skilled!"

Even in the midst of all this, Reggie didn’t forget to make a remark, then screamed, "We’re safe!"

Why safe? Because attack aircrafts, unlike armed helicopters, cannot adjust their attack direction mid-air. The fixed-wing aircraft’s machine gun is generally fixed; as the plane flies in one direction, the machine gun shoots in that direction. Even if Yang Yi’s car is near the attacked one, the attack plane would have to pull up or turn around to get back into an attack position to hit them again.

The convoy is dispersed, everyone busy escaping, stopping to launch portable anti-air missiles?

Just then, someone on the public frequency shouted, "Stop! Fire the anti-air missile, quickly, quickly!"

They actually brought anti-air missiles? Yang Yi felt somewhat relieved again, because even if they couldn’t shoot the plane down, they could pose a threat to it. Most importantly, if someone actually launched a missile, the attack aircraft would have a key target to focus on, other than just Yang Yi’s car trying to escape.

The good news is there’s only one attack aircraft; the better news is it’s out of ammunition.

Soon, the commander escorting Yang Yi shouted loudly, "Retreat! Return to the original route!"

Actually, Yang Yi wasn’t particularly reluctant to leave; now he had a very reasonable excuse to return to Mosul.

The convoy regrouped, but this time, the distance between vehicles was significantly lengthened, with the nearest two cars more than 300 meters apart.

Increasing distance is effective against air strikes, but if there’s a ground attack, it would be disastrous.

Yang Yi thought Victor probably wouldn’t strike again; after all, Victor was closely watched in Mosul with no way to act.

But just at this moment, Azar’s voice came through.

"Victor forcibly broke out of Mosul!"

He quickly repeated it on the walkie-talkie in an incredulous tone, "You called it, Victor forcibly broke out of Mosul. He and his men had a fierce battle with those guarding him, trying to break out by force!"

Yang Yi urgently asked, "Is he dead?"

"The main thing is he didn’t die! He actually broke out!"

Yang Yi took a breath and said, "He managed to break out of Mosul? With just those few people?"

"Yes, he escaped, but I think he can’t pose any further threat to you. So, should we continue toward the border?"

Yang Yi loudly said, "No! We are returning to Mosul!"

Azar was about to say more, but suddenly someone on the open channel of the radio urgently shouted, "Someone is attacking us!"

It really has come to this, where did Victor find that ground force?

"Stop the car!"

Yang Yi shouted, and Reggie stopped the car, then Yang Yi hurriedly jumped out, immediately seeing the lead vehicle, over two kilometers ahead, had already stopped and started to smoke thickly.

This is the outskirts of Mosul, but it’s an ISIS-controlled area. Do the cleaners really have such strength to rally a team here? It seems incredible.

Azar’s car also stopped. He ran over to Yang Yi, full of astonishment and said, "How could this happen? How is it possible, Victor, how could he do all this?"

Yang Yi held a pistol calmly and said, "Because Victor is more than just an antique dealer, that’s all."

Azar urgently said, "I’m now very sure his target is you, because the ambushers aren’t letting go of a single vehicle, but how did they know we would return?"

Yang Yi quietly said, "Because the plane in the sky was also summoned by him, so he knew if I didn’t want to die, I’d have to return to Mosul!"

"But how did he know your movements? I requested people to keep an eye on Victor and kept it all confidential!"

Yang Yi looked at Azar and said, "Confidential? Do you think there’s any secret that can be kept in ISIS?"

Just then, voices began shouting from the radio installed in the car.

"The enemy is few, less than ten people, but the firepower is strong. What should we do?"

Yang Yi wiped his mouth, then raised his gun and spoke to Brian and others who had joined him, "No choice, we’ll have to do it ourselves, fight through and return to Mosul."

Azar urgently said, "We are in suits! Do we have to fight those in military uniforms?"

Yang Yi quietly sighed, "No choice, didn’t you realize? Victor’s goal was to force me out of Mosul city. Only by leaving Mosul does he have a chance to take me out; in Mosul, he has no chance."

Brian ignored Yang Yi and Azar’s conversation. He waved and loudly said to Stone Statue, "You, approach the safe distance’s edge. The enemy is few. Take them out!"

Being relatively far from the frontline, Yang Yi and others’ situation wasn’t extremely urgent, so Azar grabbed Yang Yi’s arm and said in a low voice, "Tell me what exactly that item is! Regardless of whether Victor is truly an antique dealer, why must he do this? Doing so will get him killed, so it’s surely not for money!"

Yang Yi helplessly said, "Buddy, if I tell you, one more person will be silenced for good. For your own good, don’t ask."
