Chapter 1601: Chapter 1601: Being a Qualified Decoy

In just a short while, Gu Fan clashed with the patrol squad coming from the north, and promptly knocked all the members of the squad to the ground without a word.

Of course, Gu Fan didn’t forget the plan, as he fiercely beat the opposition, he also gave them the chance to call for help.

Soon, the roar of aircraft engines resonated in the sky; Gu Fan looked up only to see three helicopters, their propellers whipping up such forceful winds that he was almost blown away.

Gu Fan casually picked up a gun from the ground and opened fire at the helicopters, doing his best to provoke the enemy.

After emptying a magazine, Gu Fan picked up another gun; his goal was to distract the helicopters and buy time for the others to retreat.

One of the helicopters immediately returned the favor, bombarding Gu Fan with an even fiercer barrage of bullets that whistled towards him like a dense rainstorm, furiously striking his body.

"Bring it on!" Gu Fan crossed his arms and used Vajra Body Protection to withstand the bullets’ impact.

However, the firepower of the helicopter was overwhelming, and after resisting for a moment, Gu Fan was blown away, landing in an unsightly manner.

"Good, problem solved!" The moment the helicopter had reported the situation and was preparing to leave, it discovered that Gu Fan had once again stood up, looking as though nothing significant had happened.

At that moment, the people on the helicopter realized that this guy wearing a mask was not simple, so they started a second round of firepower assault.

Gu Fan didn’t care so much, grabbing a gun and exchanging fire with the helicopter—you shoot yours, I shoot mine.

Usually, a helicopter would have the high ground and overwhelming firepower, absolutely dominating the ground forces, but sadly for them, facing Gu Fan was like facing someone who had cheats enabled.

After a round of gunfire, not only had the helicopters failed to take Gu Fan down, but the pilot of one helicopter was hit, causing the aircraft to go out of control and plummet from the sky.

With a colossal boom, the helicopter crashed to the ground and exploded, fire and flames spewing out.

"Sorry about this, if you guys want compensation..." Gu Fan threw aside the gun and then turned to sprint away, attracting the remaining two helicopters towards him and away from Jie and Lu Yi.

The remaining two helicopters, realizing how exceptional Gu Fan was, immediately locked onto the target and closely pursued him, learning from the previous lesson, they urgently gained altitude to maintain height and distance.

"Report, have encountered a highly suspicious and difficult to handle target, requesting backup." While pursuing Gu Fan, the helicopters also reported the situation.

*******

It was also at this time, because the helicopters had been lured away by Gu Fan, Gu Xiaojin found it safe and immediately called everyone to depart towards the east.

Vehicles loaded with cargo set out, swiftly leaving the area to find a new suitable temporary base.

Most buildings in this city were abandoned, with most areas turned into ruins uninhabited, but these ruins provided critical cover. Once leaving this area, it meant entering into a desolate land with no place to hide.

So the problem facing Jie was how to retreat at all. If they didn’t leave the area, once the enemy expanded their search range, it would be like falling into an encirclement.

Once they left the area, being spotted in the open with no cover meant there was no chance to run away; they could even be slaughtered under enemy plane bombardment.

Leng Feng suggested taking a gamble; now that the helicopters had been led away, everyone could just circle around in these ruins. After all, with Gu Xiaojin’s abilities, they would definitely not encounter any enemies.

After careful consideration, Jie knew this was staking everyone’s lives and all their resources; the pressure was huge.

Having no other choice, Gu Xiaojin had to pick up the communication device and talk to Gu Fan, hoping he could offer some advice.

"What, you guys are still staying in that place?" Gu Fan sighed, while he sat on the ground, letting the helicopters fire on him,

Gu Fan told them what to do, which was to leave immediately and stop circling around that area. According to Gu Fan’s estimation, the enemy would likely split in two; one part charging after Gu Fan, and the other remaining to continue searching the area to ensure no one slipped through.

Moreover, the enemy would certainly find the abandoned factory; they were bound to find traces of people having lived there and would thoroughly search the place until they were sure that no one was left before they would move on.

Once Gu Fan had shaken off the pursuing enemy, they would definitely return to that area and continue the search, even the helicopters would return, and by then Jie and Lu Yi would truly have no chance to escape.

Of course, Gu Fan could shoot down the remaining two helicopters, but firstly, Gu Fan didn’t want to reveal too much strength to prevent the archenemy from guessing his arrival, losing the element of surprise later on, and secondly, Gu Fan feared that if all helicopters were shot down, the enemy might send even more planes, and that would really be troublesome.

After hearing Gu Fan’s advice, Jie, Lu Yi, and Gu Xiaojin decisively adopted it and immediately started heading east, quickly leaving the area.

Everyone was busy and urgently mobilizing, only Leng Feng had a grim face, as if he was not very supportive of leaving the area.

"Leng, come on, don’t be so glum. At times like this, he is still a good person, we have to believe in good people," Gu Xiaojin said, while she pulled Leng Feng into the vehicle and left together.

After rapidly adjusting, the convoy of vehicles hurriedly moved eastward, especially under Gu Xiaojin’s sensing abilities, they encountered no dangers along the way and left the area in just half an hour, entering into the vast wasteland.

Now the real test began. Everyone had to speed up, the farther away from that area the better, to reach a place where the enemy would not be able to find before they reacted.

However, the convoy raised dust clouds in the wasteland, and the traces of the wheels could possibly direct the enemy.

What to do? Someone had to stay back to clean up the tracks left by the convoy, but who should be left behind to do it?

Leng Feng volunteered to stay back, and even without waiting for Jie’s consent, he stopped the vehicle, pushed Gu Xiaojin out, and then turned the vehicle around to head back on his own.

"You really are... too much!" Gu Xiaojin, out of anger, kicked the dust as she watched the car trailing away into the distance.

Of course, another vehicle would come to pick up Gu Xiaojin. No one would be left behind, and they also secretly worried for Leng Feng, this guy who always liked to show off his capabilities no matter the situation.

Because she really couldn’t rest easy, Gu Xiaojin contacted Gu Fan using the communication device, hoping Gu Fan could spare some time to help Leng Feng. After all, for Gu Xiaojin, Leng Feng was not only an important comrade but much more than that.
