Chapter 191: Chapter 179: Too Fierce

The sound of the Gatling machine gun was unique; the firing rate was so high it didn’t even sound like gunfire anymore, but rather a huge, continuous, particularly loud noise.

But when Feng Biao opened fire, intermittent cannon blasts immediately mixed in with the continuous gunfire.

It was Gao Yi’s first time hearing cannon fire from such a close distance.

23mm caliber, it was indeed a cannon.

Loud and dull—it even felt as though the shockwave from the cannonball exiting the barrel was changing the air, making his heart beat with the sounds.

Boom, boom—each sound intensely stimulating the eardrums.

Gao Yi couldn’t help but stop firing.

The cannonball pierced the armored vehicle, and immediately a bright flash erupted inside; the flash penetrated the body of the vehicle, creating an even larger flash on the other side.

The flash was fleeting and lasted a very short time; however, when two shells went through the entire vehicle, the moving car immediately lost control, veered off, and crashed into a wall before stopping.

There was no explosion, but the front armored vehicle was engulfed in flames.

A regular car could be dealt with by machine guns, so the three cannons targeted armored vehicles; when Gao Yi felt how satisfying it was to shoot, the simultaneous firing of three cannons made him realize that the cannons were even more exhilarating.

That sensation of tearing through everything, coupled with the assured destructive results, immediately endeared the feel of the cannons to Gao Yi.

It’s hard to describe, perhaps an invincible feeling.

The firing lasted for ten seconds—all problems resolved.

This was not battle, it didn’t require a fight; any elite troops would be shredded by the cannon shells, and without a tank, any vehicle would be blasted into scrap metal.

"Cease fire! Cease fire!"

Gao Yi was too engrossed in the thrill; Li Jie, who shouted to stop the firing, leaped from his gun position, waving his hands and saying, "Cut the power, safety on, take your hands off, I’m talking to you!"

Gao Yi realized Li Jie was referring to him, so he promptly removed his hand from the button, then cut the power to ensure it wouldn’t fire.

Just in case an accidental burst caused more trouble.

Experienced operators rarely made this mistake, but Li Jie wasn’t entirely reassured about Gao Yi.

Fire ceased, and once it was confirmed that no one else would fire, Li Jie hurriedly said, "Quick, confirm identities and evacuate, hurry, hurry!"

The third vehicle received special attention; now, it looked like there couldn’t possibly be any survivors inside. So, to confirm the casualties, it would just be a matter of opening the door, glancing at the bodies, and identifying Abdulla to finish the job.

But Li Jie hadn’t seen Abdulla before; those who had seen him were only Feng Biao and Gao Yi, and with Feng Biao’s leg being impaired, it had to be Gao Yi to make the verification.

Gao Yi jumped out of the vehicle, and hurriedly ran over.

It wasn’t far, about fifty meters or so. When he reached the armored vehicle riddled with a dozen bullet holes, he smoothly opened the door and then just glanced inside before immediately turning his head away.

It was simply too horrific.

The bodies from the cannon fire, which were smashed, were not on the same level as those hit by hammers or bullets.

Completely shattered.

"Ugh..."

The presence of blood was still better, but the key was the mess of colorful and white stuff inside the vehicle, which Gao Yi simply couldn’t stand.

"What do we do now?" Gao Yi somewhat stunned said, "We can’t even recognize anything..."

Li Jie covered his mouth with one hand, carefully leaning in while grabbing an arm with his other hand and forcibly pulling out half a body with its head still attached.

He really couldn’t bear to look, Li Jie didn’t know where he found the strength, he helplessly wiped the face of the corpse, then cocking his head said, "See if it’s him."

Gao Yi glanced, then said, "Damn, it’s not..."

Li Jie was stunned, he checked again, and upon realizing that it was indeed impossible to find a recognizable piece of the body, suddenly turned and cursed, "Are you all fucking crazy! You hit the target and still kept bombarding forcefully, after firing so many shells, everything is smashed, how the hell can we identify it!"

After finishing, Li Jie pointed at Lin Xianghua, angrily saying, "You fired the most!"

Why Li Jie was scolding, because he was nearly crying.

The scene was too cruel, too bloody, and primarily too disgusting, but as an unqualified assassin, he couldn’t confirm the identity of the target, meaning all their efforts were in vain.

Seeing that his boss wasn’t reliable and nobody else dependable stood up to help, as the smartest in the team, Li Jie had no choice but to do the dirty work.

After cursing a few times, Li Jie turned to Gao Yi and said, "Why don’t you ask if a genetic identification can be done?"

Gao Yi paused for a moment, then looking at the gruesome scene inside the car said, "This... which piece to bring! We definitely can’t carry a... ugh."

It was better not to mention it, but mentioning it made him feel like vomiting.

"I, I, I damn..."

Li Jie couldn’t help but curse again, he really didn’t know what to do.

Luca ran over and took one look, then with a long sigh said, "Can’t confirm the identity, can’t even ask for money... Falke! Get me a bucket!"

Luca’s face was fierce as he pulled up his sleeves, loudly saying, "We can’t just let this go to waste, and we can’t let the target remain unidentified. If we can never confirm the identity, how can we complete the mission."

"This isn’t a mission..."

Gao Yi timidly responded.

Luca turned, glaring at Gao Yi and said, "Just because it’s not a mission, does it mean you can mess around! Do you have any sense of being an assassin! Falke!"

Due to the intense gunfire, the scene had descended into chaos that was beyond control.

Luca anxiously said, "Idiot! Look at the fragments of clothing; our target’s clothes are different from the others. Even a piece with cloth fragments will do!"

Luca came to his senses, realizing money and the mission were involved, his mind was sharper than usual.

"Exactly, exactly, what was the target wearing when captured?"

This question could only be answered by Gao Yi.

Gao Yi opened his mouth, astonished, "Everything was soaked in blood; couldn’t make it out..."

"Long sleeves or short sleeves?"

"Don’t you even know the material? You must know the style! Was it a shirt or a T-shirt?"

Both asked, Gao Yi tried to recall, then randomly said, "A suit! He was wearing a suit!"

"There’s no one here in a suit."

"Maybe they took it off during the interrogation, a shirt, was it a white shirt?"

He could only glimpse again, Gao Yi was just about to speak when his phone rang.

Gao Yi answered the call, and then heard Mu Tianwen urgently say, "You’ve been tricked, get out now!"

Those cultured people spoke differently, not simply fooled, but tricked.

Gao Yi, stunned, said, "What?"

"Misdirection. Abdulla was just taken to a safe place, under the protection of my father’s associates. This means Abdulla definitely isn’t in CIA’s hands!"

Gao Yi immediately said, "Pull out! Everyone, pull out!"

The three scattered in a flurry, each sprinting back to their respective cars.

They’d already been tricked; there was no need to verify identities anymore.

Gao Yi, while running, said, "What happened?"

"Details are still unclear, but someone invited my father, asking him to take charge. It’s to make him the scapegoat for Prince Shaman’s wrath. I don’t know exactly what happened, but they said Abdulla was safely with them, and if my father leads, they could definitely eliminate Prince Shaman."

Mu Tianwen hurriedly added, "The key thing is that they just said Abdulla was taken to a safe place. If they’re not deceiving my father, then it must be you guys who were tricked. Did you start your move?"

"We made our move."

"How did it go?"

"Not great, the target was unrecognizable, so we couldn’t confirm if we were fooled."

Gao Yi was on the verge of tears. The simplest way to verify the truth was now unusable.

The critical factor was not knowing if the information Mu Tianwen provided was true. It was very possible those people were deceiving Mu Tianwen.

Just as the operation ended, Mu Tianwen didn’t know the outcome, and perhaps CIA didn’t know what happened yet. It was uncertain who was telling the truth and who was lying.

With the situation as volatile as it had become, the scene was hard to control.

Gao Yi wanted to rush over and deliver a few punches to Lin Xianghua. It was him who fired fiercely and accurately. Even after Li Jie and Feng Biao ceased fire, he fired off a dozen more rounds, causing the situation they were in now. He should bear half the responsibility.

Mu Tianwen, puzzled, said, "What do you mean the target was unrecognizable?"

"It means... it’s in pieces."

Mu Tianwen was silent for a moment, finally saying, "It’s not ’no body, no crime’; it’s ’body obliterated.’"

"Can you not use idioms right now?"

"Sorry, habit. Well, there’s nothing much we can do, but try to see if Abdulla is really with my father’s associates. If he is, then he’s alive. If not, then it’s likely they’re trying to test or even harm my father."

Gao Yi suddenly remembered something. He immediately said, "Do you remember what Abdulla was wearing?"

"A suit."

"What about the shirt inside, what color?"

"White."

"Uh, and the collar shape?"

"Round collar, with two buttons, common in the Middle East, an unusual shirt style elsewhere, similar to the collar of a robe."

Gao Yi sighed and said, "Abdulla is not dead. I just noticed something; the shirt on the body had a regular pointed collar."

When Li Jie and others had asked about the style and color of the clothes, Gao Yi hadn’t remembered what Abdulla was wearing because he hadn’t noticed at the time.

But Gao Yi had looked at the collar of the only shirt in the car, as it was the only recognizable feature.

Now it matched up, the dead wasn’t Abdulla.

This must have been a CIA ruse, using a body double to mislead.

Gao Yi hurriedly said, "Disconnecting now, we need to pull out first."

Gao Yi hung up and got into the car, started it, and was about to press the gas pedal when the phone rang again.

Answering the call, he heard Grins whisper, "Did you guys make it? CIA here is terrified and furious, they never expected gunfire. They’re infuriated by Prince Shaman’s resolve and tactics. Plus, many died, just now CIA people wanted almost to punch me in the face. Now, you guys need to run because CIA is about to seek insane revenge."

Gao Yi didn’t know what to say, pondering for a moment, then softly said, "We were deceived; the target wasn’t in the motorcade. That’s it, I’m pulling out."
