Chapter 370: Chapter 358: Guardian of Life

By the time Mike yelled for Yang Yi to back up, Yang Yi had actually already started moving forward, his actions quicker than Mike’s shouts.

Just then, over the phone, Brian bellowed, "Charles has been shot!"

Being suddenly ambushed is one of the most dangerous unforeseen events one can encounter, bar none.

Those with a plan always have a significant advantage; no matter how vigilant the unsuspecting party is, it’s impossible to constantly prevent the enemy from finding an opportunity, and being shot at point-blank range while in a moving vehicle leaves no room for any skills to be utilized.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Yang Yi’s detection of the irregularity and subsequent warning saved the lives of Brian and the others. Although Charles had been shot, it was only Charles who was injured. Had it not been for Yang Yi’s early detection of the anomaly, alerting Brian and the others, that round of gunfire could have claimed all three of their lives.

Yang Yi floored the accelerator; he intended to crash into the enemy’s car to rescue Brian, who was trapped inside.

Brian and Paul didn’t get out of the car; there was gunshots inside, and they continued shooting at the enemies who were backing toward them, and of course, the enemies were also firing at Brian and Paul.

Brian and Paul were pinned down. During the gunfire exchange between the two vehicles, two people in the back seat of the enemy’s car were hit, but Charles had also been shot. Now their car was out of control and had crashed into a tree, while the enemy was free to move, and moreover, they had automatic rifles.

Mike, sitting in the car, fired at the driver he could see, but the enemy’s vehicle wasn’t reversing in a straight line, and with two layers of windshield between them, Mike’s efforts to shoot the enemy by sticking his hand out weren’t very effective.

With a loud bang, Yang Yi’s car crashed directly into the sedan. His speed was so fast that the impact was immense, but the strong impact also caused the airbag to deploy immediately.

It was a violent head-on collision.

Yang Yi was strapped in by the seatbelt, and then his face slammed into the airbag, whereas the car he had hit also deployed its airbag. However, the person at the passenger seat aiming a rifle at Brian and the others hadn’t fastened their seatbelt.

The enemy, twisted around shooting backwards, was suddenly jolted against the airbag. Not only did the airbag fail to ensure his safety, but it inflicted further injury upon him.

Yang Yi was bounced back into his seat by the airbag. He felt dizzy and his head was throbbing, but he wasn’t injured.

Mike reacted even faster than Yang Yi, and despite the obstacle of the airbag, he didn’t hesitate to shoot through it. Then, as he pushed down the deployed airbag with his left hand, he drew his gun with his right and fired repeatedly at the person driving the enemy vehicle.

After four shots, blood burst from both the enemy driver and the passenger, and finally, the driver slumped over the steering wheel, while the passenger’s head was blown open.

Yang Yi struggled to unbuckle his seatbelt, then he pushed open the car door.

Drawing his pistol, Yang Yi stumbled towards Brian’s car, and after ceasing fire, Mike also pushed open his car door.

Finally, Brian managed to open the door and get out of the car, but he tumbled out from the back seat.

Yang Yi kept his attention on the black Vauxhall behind them.

The sudden gunfight and car crash had caused a traffic jam, and the black Vauxhall was blocked further back, separated by a good dozen vehicles, but Yang Yi was very worried that the people in that car might also be enemies.

Yang Yi stared at the black sedan, and as Mike made his way over, they both yelled out, "Watch out!"

Indeed, what you fear most is bound to happen.

A person got out of the Vauxhall and raised a rifle.

Yang Yi and Mike both raised their pistols and began firing at the enemy, but at a distance of over forty meters, which is close for a rifle, but really too far for a pistol.

Yang Yi stood his ground and fired continuously; he had no choice, as he couldn’t hit the enemy while moving.

Brian’s upper body was out, with his lower body still on the car, yet he managed to draw his handgun and open fire at the enemy, while Mike violently rammed into Yang Yi with his shoulder.

Yang Yi didn’t hit the enemy, but after being knocked aside by Mike, Brian, in an upside-down state, still managed to raise a hand and shoot the enemy in one fell swoop.

The moment the enemy had raised his gun, Brian shot him.

The bullet hit the enemy’s chest, but the enemy only swayed slightly, sending the bullet into the ground less than three meters away from Brian; however, he immediately adjusted his shooting stance and, taking advantage of the momentum, threw himself forward and landed on the hood of a car.

Just then, Mike, who had knocked Yang Yi aside, also opened fire, closely following Brian’s lead.

Brian shot the enemy in the chest, and just as the enemy was about to continue shooting from the hood of the car, Mike shot him in the head.

Mike rushed forward to Brian’s position, grabbed him, and forcefully pulled him down from the car.

Meanwhile, Yang Yi, who had lost his balance, finally steadied himself.

Mike had rammed into Yang Yi because they both thought they were the enemy’s target; standing still and shooting like Yang Yi was a surefire way to get killed.

The enemy aimed at Brian, so as a result, both Yang Yi and Mike were unharmed, but there was no doubt that Mike was risking his own life to protect Yang Yi.

"Careful!"

There was another enemy.

Yang Yi fired at the enemy, but the distance was simply too great.

Yang Yi held the gun with both hands; he emptied his magazine, yet he couldn’t hit the enemy who was on the move.

At that moment, Yang Yi desperately wished he had the marksmanship skills of Brian and Mike—such excellent sharpshooting; but his aim was really poor, so he felt utterly desperate, truly desperate,

The newly emerged enemy was in a spot Brian could not shoot; Mike gave up on pulling Brian down, and his position was also unable to hit the enemy.

The enemy took cover behind an SUV and then the man raised his arm to throw something.

A grenade, tracing an arc, headed towards Brian and Mike.

Yang Yi was too far from the grenade to do anything, while Mike, seeing the incoming grenade, did not hesitate in the slightest.

Mike lay down and covered Brian with his body.

The grenade exploded in mid-air about one meter above the ground, five meters away from Brian and Mike.

Yang Yi lay on the ground; after the grenade exploded, he quickly got up and rushed to Mike’s side.

Mike lay on top of Brian, motionless.

Brian got up and pushed Mike off; he finally had the chance to crawl out of the car, then he immediately fell heavily on Mike’s body.

Yang Yi ran to Mike, crouched beside him, and at that moment, the enemy who had thrown the grenade reappeared, throwing another
