Chapter 716: Chapter 722: Miracle or Sign from God

A man who appeared to be at least sixty years old rushed out of the glass doors, holding a pistol and firing.

It was just one shot, and Brian suddenly stood up from his chair.

He had fired the pistol and killed a bodyguard, and that was when Brian finally couldn’t sit still anymore.

Raise the gun, fire, hit the target.

Raise the gun, fire, hit the target.

Are they the same? Even if all the targets were hit, so the outcomes were the same, but were the processes the same?

If one person raises the gun, aims, and then fires to hit the target at close range, nobody would be too surprised, but if a person rushes out, raises the gun without even looking, and before you can even see how he swung his weapon, someone is dead, with a bullet right between the eyes, then even if the end result is that a target is killed, no one would think the two shootings are the same.

If you still don’t understand, then let me put it this way.

If a person lifts a gun and shoots an elephant ten meters away, it wouldn’t be surprising, but if another person lifts a gun and hits a fly flying in the air a hundred meters away with one shot, then that person’s shooting skills would definitely astonish everyone.

One shot, just one shot, was enough to move all the insiders.

But the surprise wasn’t over yet.

After that man who looked sixty dashed out the door, another person rushed out after him, and he was wearing a black hood.

If the first shot was shocking, what followed was the beginning of horror.

The man with the hood came out and started shooting, firing three shots.

The first shot was stunning, the next three were terrifying.

There was no sound, only images, but seeing three men armed with Uzi submachine guns get their heads blown off within a distance of less than ten meters by the same man using a pistol, Yang Yi felt a fear from the depths of his soul.

Yang Yi swore he didn’t blink; in less than a second, the trio of gunmen were felled by the same individual, and he hadn’t even seen what the man with the black hood had done.

The man with the black hood was holding an Uzi submachine gun in his left hand and a pistol in his right; then he swung his arms, and the man on his left fell down, as did the one on his right, one shot in the neck, two between the eyes.

Was this a miracle, or the work of a deity?

In that moment, Yang Yi’s mind went blank, temporarily losing the ability to think, then he watched as the man with the black hood fired a shot at Corkdor’s car, followed by another.

Corkdor’s car was bulletproof.

After a brief moment of shock, Yang Yi could only think of one thing: how did Corkdor survive? How did he survive under the gun of that man who spelled doom?

Doom—perhaps he wouldn’t have even had the time to feel it before dying, so how exactly did Corkdor manage to survive?

Another person, also seeming to be in his late fifties or nearing sixty, rushed out.

Corkdor’s car headed straight for the three men but missed them and without another pause, Corkdor sped off.

The man who had just come out of the restaurant got into a nearby car, and the one in the black hood, together with the first man who had a rosacea-ridden nose, also got into the car and started chasing after Corkdor’s vehicle.

In the meantime, three more people dashed out of the restaurant towards a car, and then, a very old man who seemed extremely aged slowly walked out of the hotel, limping with a cane, step by step until he reached the roadside.

When the old man reached the roadside, a car stopped in front of him, then the old man got into the car, and the vehicle sped away into the distance.

The intelligence room was silent, and so was the radio.

At such a time, at this moment, no one was able to speak.

Finally, Anton’s voice came through the radio, heavy with resolve, "I can intercept them! I’m going to intercept them!"

"Don’t!"

Yang Yi shouted angrily, and then he said into the radio, "Do not intercept under any circumstances! Absolutely no interception!"

Anton would die! At that moment, Yang Yi’s only thought was that if Anton tried to stop that car, he would surely die.

In Yang Yi’s eyes, Anton had always been an expert, and not just an expert but a super-expert at that. However, he would still die.

Perhaps Anton could do anything, but that man with the black hood seemed so formidable that it was despairing. Anton might be skilled in many things, but if that man had a gun, then Anton would die.

This was Yang Yi’s sole feeling.

After Yang Yi had shouted, forbidding Anton from taking any action, Brian snapped to reality as well, and he commanded sternly, "Your mission is to follow and surveil, you must not under any circumstances reveal your identities. I repeat, absolutely do not reveal your identities!"

The intelligence room once again fell into a deathlike silence.

A moment later, Chris said in a low voice, "What did I just see? Was it an illusion... or... did you all see it too? I’m not very... when it comes to shooting... but... I... can someone tell me if what just happened was real?"

Kate’s voice trembled as she exclaimed, "Oh my God!"

No one answered Chris because Yang Yi and the others were watching the screen, the car with Corkdor and the man wearing the black hood.

The two cars were chasing each other at breakneck speed through the streets.

Suddenly, Zhang Yong muttered under his breath, "Damn it! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!"

For some reason, Zhang Yong’s voice sounded very despondent.

The better someone’s marksmanship, the longer they remained silent.

After Zhang Yong’s string of meaningless curses, Xiao Ran finally took a long breath.

The breath was so prolonged because Xiao Ran had been holding her breath up until then, her face flushed red from both eagerness and the lack of oxygen.

Then Xiao Ran shrieked, "Damn it!"

"They’ve stopped! That’s the entrance to the government building!"

Yang Yi let out a pointless yell, everyone was already watching the screen, no reminder was necessary.

Corkdor tried to rush into the government office building where Arseny was located but was unsuccessful. However, there were two armored vehicles and many fully armed soldiers there.

Yang Yi thought Corkdor had probably saved his own life. As Corkdor’s car reached the entrance of the government building, anyone in their right mind would have given up by then, but the people chasing Corkdor still crashed into them, and both vehicles were forced to stop at the entrance of the government building.

Those chasing Corkdor had failed, and it seemed impossible for them to give up now since two sentries standing at the entrance of the government building had already rushed over, rifles in hand, and pulled open the car doors.

It was a truly astonishing conclusion.
