Chapter 643: Chapter 617: Do It This Way

Framed, but unable to feel anger.

Even though surrounded and trapped in this small cake shop, Gao Yi just can’t feel tense.

Feeling relaxed is a good thing, but when the relaxation is too intense, it’s not good.

Now Gao Yi truly understands those bigwigs, he understands why those bigwigs can act nonchalant no matter what situation they find themselves in.

It’s not an act, nor a performance, but after witnessing so many major events, nothing surprises them anymore.

"They say we’re terrorists with nukes?"

Gao Yi pondered for a moment, then said indignantly, "This accusation is over the top, sir, you need to explain the situation to the White House."

"I’m already in contact! Hang on, you must hang on!"

Panetta hung up, and Gao Yi stared at the door, ready to grab a gun and fight at any moment.

The situation is clear now, the FBI wants to eliminate Gao Yi before the White House gives their command, and Gao Yi needs to buy time, getting the President to personally order the FBI to stop before they take him out.

At this point, the FBI’s fate is sealed; no matter their success or failure, they will undergo investigation, and personnel up and down will be purged by the President.

Though the President of the United States doesn’t have the final say in everything, appointing or removing a few key FBI officials is no problem.

Since both parties need time now, the FBI will have to act soon, and it’s pretty much certain they won’t leave any witnesses.

Relaxation is one thing, but the danger is real danger.

Yet Gao Yi still couldn’t find a way to make himself tense, not even a hint of excitement.

With an additional car in the cake shop, it felt especially cramped, plus the scattered tables and chairs, shards of glass all over the floor, and a few corpses, making it difficult to find a place to step.

This kind of terrain actually favors the attackers.

Just unsure how the hostage rescue team plans to force their way in.

"Do you have hand grenades?"

Gao Yi saw that Parsons had hand grenades hanging on him, but he courteously asked, then whispered, "Give me two, I need two."

Parsons hesitated but still handed two grenades from his chest to Gao Yi.

Having once smashed a tank with a hammer, let’s just say, although he’s an assassin, Gao Yi is also skilled in combat.

A bakery isn’t a kitchen; it doesn’t have ordinary kitchen knives, and finding a hammer is nearly impossible. However, Gao Yi quickly rummaged through the bakery, finding a toolbox in a cupboard.

The toolbox contained an adjustable wrench, a Stanley, with a rubber grip on the handle, not very large, at most medium-sized, about thirty centimeters long.

The advantage for Gao Yi is that he can use any tool available, not necessarily needing a hammer.

He took out the wrench, twisted the opened mouth shut, then tucked the wrench into his waist, and with his right hand holding a hand grenade, pointed toward the door with his left, saying, "Soon the enemy will definitely throw in hand grenades first. At that moment, everyone should wait..."

Parsons impatiently interjected, "You don’t need to teach us that."

Indeed, everyone present seemed to know more about fighting than Gao Yi, except for Buck.

But Gao Yi ignored Parsons’ rude interruption and continued, "When the enemy is about to charge in, I’ll first leap onto this intact display cabinet, then from the cabinet to the car roof. Then, I’ll throw a hand grenade towards the door, temporarily disrupting an enemy attack, splitting the enemy’s attacking formation. Then, I’ll use this wrench to bash any enemies that come in. In that moment, prepare for a counteroffensive. If the enemies outside are lined up and dense, that’s our chance to counterattack. I’ll jump from the car roof into the crowd outside. When they can’t shoot at their comrades, seize the moment. This is our only chance to counterattack. If we can repel this wave of enemy attack, I reckon we’ll have gained enough time."

Yuri nodded, "Okay, I’ll try to make sure you don’t have to follow up with the hammer, uh, the wrench."

Lucy also said seriously, "Understood, I will suppress the enemies attempting to come in and create opportunities for you."

Buck stared blankly at the trio of Gao Yi, seemingly lost in thought, while Parsons was stunned and said, "Are you joking or telling myths? The opposing team is the hostage rescue team. They’re elite special forces excelling in indoor combat. It would be a miracle if we could hold on for two more minutes, and you’re talking about a counterattack! Counterattack, counterattack, haha, I’m really..."

"Here they come!"

Yuri lowly exclaimed, immediately raising his gun to fire two shots at the empty doorway, using gunfire to warn the enemies outside not to launch a direct assault, at least to throw a few grenades first.

Sure enough, hand grenades were thrown in from both sides outside, and Yuri instantly slipped behind a corner of the wall.

When the boom of explosions outside began, Gao Yi pulled the pin of the hand grenade.

Even among special forces, there are varying levels of skill. In fact, the tactics for indoor combat are pretty similar; nearly every unit employs similar strategies. To differentiate their abilities comes down to whose tactical and combat skills are superior.

Like tossing a grenade and following that immediately with a forced entry after the explosion; the shorter the gap between the explosion and entry, the better. Enter during the moment the enemy is suppressed by the blast to gain a favorable firing position. Whoever reacts faster, whoever moves quicker is stronger.

It might come down to a few milliseconds, but most times, these milliseconds decide the victor.

That’s how it is now, Gao Yi counted five grenades being tossed in. He listened to the explosions, three of which happened almost simultaneously, and the other two exploded just slightly delayed, maybe a second apart at most.

Concentrating grenade throws, causing concentrated explosions, aiming for maximal damage, and then immediately beginning a frontal assault. This tactic is particularly simple.

He couldn’t quite count precisely, only sensing the fifth explosion had rung out. Gao Yi suddenly burst from the crowd, taking a leap onto the display cabinet closest to the bakery.

The cabinet’s glass had shattered completely, but the frame was sufficient for standing.

As Gao Yi landed on the display cabinet, he lightly tossed the ring-pulled grenade toward the cake shop’s entrance.

It was as if executed after countless training drills; as soon as Gao Yi threw the grenade, two people simultaneously flipped through the door from the left and right, directly meeting the grenade Gao Yi threw.

The grenade exploded mid-air outside the door, causing unknown damage to the enemies outside, but it certainly disrupted their attack momentum.

With his right foot on the display cabinet, he stepped onto the car roof with his left; two gunmen fired towards the bakery entrance, only realizing after they had started shooting that there was someone in mid-air as well.

Just as the two hurriedly adjusted their aim, Lucy’s gun also fired.

Lucy hit the target but didn’t knock them down. However, it didn’t matter, Gao Yi, standing high on the car roof, delivered a foot jab, kicking the opponent’s helmet. No matter how bulletproof the helmet is, it couldn’t withstand Gao Yi’s neck-snapping kick.

Then Lucy’s dual guns simultaneously shot the other gunman targeting Gao Yi. She hit the target; a bullet pierced the gunman’s position below the ear, resulting in instant death. Indeed, Gao Yi didn’t need to finish them off.
