Chapter 639: Chapter 613: A Flash of God

The situation is chaotic, so let’s just jump out.

If you can’t think of a way to break the game, then simply don’t worry about it, because Gao Yi is not the only one here.

Gao Yi’s laid-back approach left even the experienced Yuri puzzled. After thinking for a while, he said with a pained expression, "Although I think your idea is very wrong, I can’t pinpoint exactly what’s wrong."

"So, is this okay then?"

Yuri nodded and said, "We are in a hurry, but we’re not the most urgent. So temporarily stepping out to observe is indeed a reasonable approach, even though it’s quite a passive response, but your idea is fine."

"Then let’s do it, Buck, let’s go."

"Where to?"

"I don’t know, but we need to leave here first, and definitely not to the Compaq Building. Find us a hidden place where no one can find us."

Gao Yi immediately posed a challenge, but after Buck thought for a bit, he nodded and said, "Sure, there are places where no one will find us temporarily, but the conditions won’t be great."

"That’s fine, it’s not like we’re staying here long-term."

Buck drove the car out and then said quietly, "I know quite a few very hidden places. Being an FBI agent... and a..."

Buck wanted to explain where they were going, but his car had barely gone a hundred meters when a car suddenly appeared around the corner ahead. When he saw the car, Buck suddenly fell silent and immediately looked serious.

Yuri asked sharply, "What’s wrong?"

Gao Yi wasn’t slow in his reaction either. The moment he noticed something was off with Buck, his first instinct was to be wary of the driver.

He was still one of their own, but whether that would remain true in a moment was uncertain.

Buck sniffed and said, "I’ve seen this car before!"

He suddenly said something inexplicable, and then Buck’s car swerved slightly.

There were four lanes for two-way traffic, not many cars, quite empty. Buck’s car was originally driving close to the left lane line, but just when the opposing car was about to pass by, he suddenly turned sharply right, moving to the right lane.

Amazingly, the car that had just turned also suddenly swerved over from the opposite lane.

If Buck hadn’t made that god-like evasive maneuver, there would have been a head-on collision.

Before Gao Yi could regain his senses from the sway, he heard two loud bangs inside the car. Instinctively, he looked over, only to find two bullet holes in the roof.

The bullets had penetrated through the roof and out from the side window. The car glass had turned into a spider-web pattern but hadn’t completely shattered yet, and a strange smell like burning or gunpowder suddenly filled the car.

The car continued moving forward, and Gao Yi glanced back.

Getting shot at in a car wasn’t a first for him, having experienced many such situations. Gao Yi wasn’t panicked or scared; he was more curious about who dared to shoot at him so boldly in New York.

If it hadn’t been for Buck’s miraculous steering, there would have been a series of bullets piercing through the car just now. Judging by the size of the bullet holes, this wasn’t from an automatic rifle.

It starts at 12.7 mm, and the bullets likely contain armor-piercing incendiary bombs.

Buck kept control of the car’s direction. Although the car swayed violently back and forth twice, Buck’s driving skills were good, and he quickly regained control.

Gao Yi suddenly turned back to look behind.

Long Beach didn’t have many tall buildings, and the trajectory of the shots just now was fired from a high point. Looking back, there was only one building on the whole street five or six stories high that could provide the height for that trajectory.

It was a building diagonally opposite the clinic.

There was no need to struggle much to deduce the gunman’s position.

The priority now was to escape the firing angle a large-caliber machine gun could block.

Before Gao Yi could speak, Buck, who had stabilized the car, suddenly floored the gas pedal, turned the steering wheel abruptly again, and the car made a highly extreme small-angle turn, almost tipping over, with the front wheels crashing into a twenty-centimeter high curb.

The sedan rushed onto the sidewalk, with both front tires bursting consecutively; the car’s front lost control and continued to skew. Fortunately, the car was rear-wheel drive, and Buck floored the gas pedal.

Just as the car was about to spin sideways, it barreled through the greenery, its front accurately smashed through the glass doors of a street-front shop.

With a violent jolt, Gao Yi, not wearing a seatbelt, was thrown upward, crashing into the left car door.

The car stopped, and the left side hit the corner of the wall, but Buck wasn’t done. He kept the gas pedal down, hands swiftly counter-steering, and the stalled car suddenly lurched again.

With half the car inside the door and the rest sticking out, the vehicle finally crashed completely into the store, its front demolishing a glass display case, showering the windshield with broken glass and unknown debris.

Extremely challenging driving, highly testing skills, judgment, and luck.

Fortunately, Buck’s driving skills were indeed excellent. If Gao Yi were driving, there’s no way he could have pulled it off.

"Get out!"

Buck shouted, simultaneously unbuckling his seatbelt with one hand and pushing open the car door with the other, his pistol already in his hand as he exited.

Yuri was also hindered by the seatbelt but didn’t respond like an old man. After unbuckling, he pushed the door hard three times to clear away objects blocking it and squeezed out through the narrow gap.

Gao Yi was sitting behind the driver’s seat; his car door had been deformed from hitting the corner and couldn’t be opened after pushing twice. Lucy had already opened the right car door, urgently saying, "Exit this way."

Gao Yi quickly ducked and headed out toward Lucy’s direction, while Buck, having already gotten out, started shooting outside.

Rapid, continuous gunshots, the highest rate a pistol could fire.

The car had crashed into the store, a sensible decision by Buck, as continuing forward, no matter how fast, couldn’t evade a machine gun’s sweep from a commanding high position.

Gao Yi finally got out of the car.

It was a cake shop, but now it was certainly a wreck, with overturned tables and chairs and two glass display cases smashed by the car.

The store clerk hid behind the counter, wide-eyed and speechless.

There were no people visible outside, but two cars could be seen.

Moreover, someone had just gotten out of the car and quickly hid behind the rear after exiting, using the car door as cover.

This was a direct assassination attempt, and the operation had just begun.
