Waiting for Rescue
to bargain with me." Wang Zheng said coldly: "You don't have that right.""I'll ask one more time: Black Hand Society, Pan Xiaoning, what's going on Explain clearly." Wang Zheng squinted his eyes again...Chapter 598: Waiting for Rescue
( A mantis striking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Qiang Dongsong thought he was that oriole, watching the Ideal Kingdom and Eastern Tyrant Warlord fight to the death while reaping benefits.
But what he didn't expect was that Wang Zheng had already instructed the elite squad from State Security to lie in wait on the high-rise buildings surrounding them. Some were close by, others far away. These people were experts at sniping and had been seasoned soldiers during their time on the battlefield; once they camouflaged themselves, it wasn’t easy for anyone to spot them.
The moment the gunner's head was blown apart, blood mixed with brain matter splattered all over Qiang Dongsong’s face!
At this instant, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of unease in his heart! This kind of feeling hadn’t appeared on Qiang Dongsong for a very long time.
Without thinking twice, Qiang Dongsong dodged and rolled away from the balcony!
In the place where he had just been standing, several powerful sniper bullets punched deep holes into the concrete roof.
Qiang Dongsong was capable of such evasive maneuvers, but that didn't mean others could do the same. The sudden appearance of sniper fire killed some people with headshots while others were riddled with large blood-soaked holes in their chests from the bullets.
The elite squad from State Security indeed had exceptional abilities; once they had nearly finished off those individuals by using firepower, they immediately withdrew from their sniping positions and requested reinforcements.
After rolling out of the rooftop, Qiang Dongsong began to run down the stairs frantically. Originally, he wanted to send his subordinates to check on the situation at the scene after the explosion and finish off any survivors, but it seemed that this objective was impossible now. He had become a lone commander, fleeing in disgrace! This outcome was vastly different from what he initially envisioned!
The commotion at Jinling Hotel naturally drew everyone's attention, and TV interview vans arrived at the scene promptly. Using rocket launchers to attack a five-star hotel in the provincial capital city was tantamount to a terrorist attack! This would have an extremely negative impact on Jinling, Nanjiang, and even China's international image.
Grand Elder Peepes was originally taking a bath in his room when he suddenly felt the floor shaking and thought it was an earthquake. Soon after, there was a huge explosion from gunfire, which made this Grand Elder of the Ideal Nation feel something was amiss. He quickly wrapped a towel around his waist and rushed out!
However, as soon as he opened the door, a shell exploded in the hallway!
Dust flew everywhere, the ceiling cracked, and broken floorboards fell down, blocking Peepes' path completely!
Even though Loqui lived just across from him, these few steps now seemed like an insurmountable chasm.
Things got even worse!
During the explosion of the shell earlier, two small metal fragments about the size of a fingernail flew into Peepes' abdomen.
The high temperature and speed made it easy for these small metal pieces to cut through Peepes' skin. They then spun inside his body, severing his intestines, causing blood to spurt out from the tiny wound!
No matter how skilled in martial arts Peepes was, he could do nothing against the power of technology. This Grand Elder of the Ideal Nation could only watch helplessly as life drained from him through the open wounds on his abdomen.
"How did this happen"
In the ideal realm, a Grand Elder holds an extremely high status. They usually do not take action lightly; once they do, it means their opponent is quite formidable. Although Lao Qi did not seem particularly strong when fighting Wang Zheng, that was only because of who his opponent was. If Lao Qi were to face someone else, it would be a devastating slaughter! This time, Father Dio sent out Lao Qi and Peppe together, thinking it was almost certain they would win. However, he never expected to lose before even seeing their opponent!
"I really want to roar!" Peppe hurriedly found something to bandage his wounds. His heart was filled with a thousand horses running amok, estimating that this injury would require surgery at the hospital to remove shrapnel.
As a Grand Elder of the glorious Ideal Nation, he had been reduced to such a state; it was simply heartbreaking and embarrassing beyond belief.
In his current condition, there was no way for him to dig through the debris to rescue Lao Qi. For this beautiful but venomous Grand Elder, Peppe could only leave everything up to fate.
"Cough! Cough!"
Wang Zheng's body lay flat at the junction of the wall and ground; it was the best way to avoid an earthquake. A cracked floorboard fell from above, forming a forty-five-degree angle between the wall and ground, trapping Wang Zheng in place and creating a natural barrier that blocked subsequent explosive attacks.
Wang Zheng currently had Lao Qi's wet towel covering his mouth and nose. He didn't have any thoughts about smelling her scent on the towel now since he was nearly choked to death by dust; it made him unable to open his eyes!
However, Lao Qi's situation was far worse than Wang Zheng's. Wang Zheng had originally rushed toward Lao Qi but changed direction at the last moment due to a sudden sense of danger. Just before that change in direction, for some inexplicable reason, Wang Zheng pulled Lao Qi's arm!
It was this pull that caused Lao Qi to shift sideways by over a meter.
The falling cracked floorboard should have hit Lao Qi on the waist but instead landed on her foot bones!
If it weren't for Wang Zheng pulling Luo Qi out, she might have been beheaded as the first female grand elder of the ideal nation!
However, her current state isn’t much better. She has multiple injuries and is bleeding profusely; her snow-white skin that used to resemble silk will likely never return to its original condition.
Luo Qi lies on the ground, groaning in pain. The nude beauty is now covered in dust, but due to poor lighting conditions, Wang Zheng can't properly inspect her.
The two are confined within this tiny space, lying side by side with nowhere else to go.
Due to the small size of the space, their bodies press against each other tightly. Any slight movement would cause them to touch. Even if Wang Zheng wanted to stand up, he could only manage a half-kneeling position at best.
The situation outside is unknown; although much debris has covered above them, the floor hasn't collapsed yet.
This can be attributed to several sharpshooters from State Security who, just moments before launching the explosive shells to collapse this level, killed the artilleryman with a single headshot.
Wang Zheng struggled to turn over and get up. He had also been hit by many falling fragments earlier and now he's in severe pain due to blood rushing upwards.
After much effort, Wang Zheng managed to move towards Luo Qi’s feet.
The heavy floorboards have trapped her feet tightly; they can’t be pulled out. Currently, Luo Qi has poor circulation on one side and her left leg is completely numb. If rescue efforts don't start soon, she might lose this leg permanently!ao Shancun trembled all over again!To take Qiao Shanxing's place and become the number one person in the Qiao family—wasn't this exactly what he had always wanted to do Wasn't it also something that h...
