Spy-x-War Showdown
Chapter 882 - 887: Have You Lost Your Mind?

Chapter 882: Chapter 887: Have You Lost Your Mind?

Zhang Yong suddenly dashed from the rear of the car, as bullets struck the ground beside him sparking a trail of fire. Once he arrived next to Vitali who lay motionless, he held his rifle firing shots with one hand while dragging Vitali’s arm to pull him back.

Anton held a rifle, but he didn’t fire. The barrel moved continuously back and forth until finally, it stopped and he rapidly fired a three-round burst.

An enemy who had only exposed their head fell backward, then Anton shouted, "A sniper!"

At last, one of the enemy snipers was taken out.

In the chaos of battle, the threat of snipers was immense.

Zhang Yong dragged Vitali behind a car, then he yelled, "We can’t wait for the enemy to surround us, or none of us will make it out!"

Brian switched his magazine and said, "Old Demon! Withdraw, take Vitali and withdraw!"

At that moment, a car reversed rapidly, smashing forcefully into another car to stop, and Annastasia, with one hand on the steering wheel and the other swiftly shifting from reverse to drive, shouted, "Get in!"

Zhang Yong didn’t waste words. He dragged Vitali to the car, set down his rifle, and with all his might stuffed Vitali into the back seat. Immediately he said to Annastasia, "You go, the enemy is too fierce, and without cover, none of us will make it!"

Just then, another car came charging over with the screech of intense steering. Zhang Yong aimed his gun at the approaching vehicle but then lowered it again.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Hans charged down from the vehicle, then he took a rocket launcher from the trunk and fired aimlessly towards the direction of the enemy. Afterward, he began to pull out hand grenades from the trunk.

Not ordinary hand grenades but smoke grenades. Hans started to throw smoke grenades one after the other, and Zhang Yong followed suit, lobbing smoke grenades out.

Smoke grenades can sometimes be a double-edged sword; they obscure the enemy’s line of sight as well as one’s own.

Dense white smoke rose swiftly. Roman abandoned his machine gun and crawled rapidly backward on the ground, while Anton leapt out with agility that belied his size.

Roman was already in the smoke; Anton bent down to grab a leg but heard a scream.

"Wrong, it’s broken, it’s broken!"

"Sorry."

Anton switched legs, then he dragged Roman and without looking back dashed towards the car.

Brian stowed his gun and ran last with Sergei.

Brian got into the car, then he said sternly, "Who told you to come back!"

Without even the chance to close the door, Annastasia drove off while sharply commanding, "Shut up!"

Hans followed immediately driving out, and Zhang Yong shouted from behind, "Everyone’s on, go!"

"Is Vitali dead?"

Hans asked, and after a moment of silence, Zhang Yong whispered, "Dead..."

Hans said no more; the two cars charged out one after the other.

The distance between the two safe houses wasn’t far, but the problem was the Organization of Water had only two safe houses in Nice.

Brian looked back and then quietly said, "Someone’s following us; we can’t go to the safe house."

Annastasia glanced at the rearview mirror and then said indifferently, "Ben wouldn’t take Steve to the safe house. If he has any brains, he should know we can’t shake off the pursuit, and we have nowhere else to go but the safe house. So, if it were me, I’d arrange an ambush on the road to shake off the pursuers, then let the wounded enter the safe house, and I’d take Steve to leave alone."

Brian whispered, "It’s too risky!"

"Not risky. The enemy found us because of Steve, which means this is just an encounter. As long as we can shake them off, it won’t be so easy for the enemy to find us again."

After saying that, Annastasia’s face remained calm as she added, "So it all depends on how Ben arranges it!"

Brian frowned, "Can he... really do it?"

Annastasia responded in surprise, "Why not? Little Egg is so excellent. Why would you doubt his abilities?"

Brian let out a sigh, glanced back at the car that was now not far behind, and whispered, "I’m not as confident in him as you are, and I also don’t know where your confidence in him comes from."

Annastasia smiled and said, "You don’t understand."

Just then, Brian’s earpiece picked up Yang Yi’s voice.

"Sea God calling, anyone... please respond."

Brian immediately shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Owl has received, over!"

"Sea God calling, anyone receiving..."

Yang Yi obviously hadn’t received Brian’s response, the crackling in the walkie-talkie indicating a poor signal, so Brian shouted again, "Owl has received!"

"Owl, backup... hold on..."

The signal was still sloppy. Brian shouted, "We’re already pulling out, repeat, we have evacuated!"

Finally hearing something clearer, Yang Yi rushed to say, "... Route A! Take Route A, got it?"

"Repeat! Repeat!"

After shouting twice, Brian urgently turned to Annastasia and asked, "What does Route A mean?"

Annastasia commanded sternly, "It’s the closest path between the safe houses. Tell him you understand!"

"Owl has received, taking Route A, over!"

Annastasia turned a corner and then, after another change in direction, the signal on the radio finally improved.

"That’s Rodriguez!"

Rodriguez was getting out of his car and then he took off running, making his way to the side. On the other side of where Rodriguez had parked, Chris was also getting out of his car.

Brian yelled, and then he heard Yang Yi urgently say over the walkie-talkie, "Speed through, don’t stop, go straight to the safe house!"

"What are they doing? Are they seriously planning on stopping the pursuers by themselves? What a joke!"

Brian was visibly annoyed, then he turned to Annastasia and shouted, "Stop the car! We’ll ambush the pursuers here!"

But Annastasia didn’t stop the car; instead, she drove straight through the passageway left by the two cars.

"I’m in charge! Don’t slow down, keep going!" Annastasia ordered loudly over the walkie-talkie.

Brian was angry, but Hans indeed followed Annastasia’s directive, his car closely passing through right after hers.

"This won’t work, this can’t possibly..."

Brian was shouting furiously, but Annastasia held the steering wheel.

In an instant, just as the two cars had passed through, the first pursuing vehicle had reached the space between the two vehicles arranged by Chris and his team.

A thunderous explosion rang out, and both vehicles exploded simultaneously but not in an ordinary explosion; rather, it was reminiscent of a Directional Mine.

The three pursuing cars weren’t blown away but instantly turned into blazing wrecks. Meanwhile, at least a dozen enemy cars were held up by the rubble behind them.

As the distance from the enemy rapidly increased, Yang Yi urgently said over the walkie-talkie, "Switch from Route A to Route C, change cars, and then head straight to the safe house, over!"

Brian was stunned for a moment. It was his turn to respond, as he was their commander. But before he could, while he was still dazed, Annastasia said sternly, "Received, understood, over."

After ending the conversation, Annastasia looked at Brian with dissatisfaction and said, "Have you gone dumb from your time in prison?"
