I Am Extraordinary Alone
Chapter 93 - 92 Wrong Target

Chapter 93: Chapter 92 Wrong Target

Iron King tossed the tablet computer to the gunman by his side, shouting, "On the mountain! Flank from the rear! Shoot to kill!"

As he spoke, he took the ICR rifle handed to him by his assistant and steadily followed at the end of the line.

Elsewhere, the soldiers on the truck had also jumped down, among them were technicians armed with drones. Shortly thereafter, more than a dozen drones equipped with Car-9 submachine guns and fragmentation grenades took off and headed for both sides of the ridge.

Leading the way, Guo Kaichen held an Type 90 automatic rifle to scout ahead, with Lin Yanqing close behind, and Li Songyan carrying a pack at the rear.

The three of them descended the steep dirt road in a single-file line. They hadn’t gone far when the ground behind Li Songyan suddenly burst open.

The blast wave sent him flying through the air and, after tumbling, he sat down hard on the ground. His body broke out in a cold sweat, his left lower leg completely numb. Dazed, he propped himself up only to see his left calf had been turned to a mess of red and white.

"Drones...! Bomb dropped by a drone!" Li Songyan cried out in agony.

Lin Yanqing had also been affected by the explosion, but Li Songyan had shielded her from the shrapnel, so she was merely shaken by the blast wave, feeling a bit dizzy.

After two seconds, she quickly regained her senses, lifted Li Songyan’s arm, and hurriedly began to transfer him.

"Damn it!" Guo Kaichen cursed, looking up to the sky to see several black dots circling.

A burst of fire exploded in midair. Two drones flying slightly lower were hit, their plastic propellers quickly melting away, falling to the ground like wingless grasshoppers.

"We’ve lost two! But one is wounded!" A technician on Iron King’s side reported.

"Haha! Keep going!" Iron King rejoiced in their misery.

The group of more than twenty people followed the winding path, climbing towards the mountain with hands and feet and others flanking from behind. Drones flew overhead, surrounding the three on the mountain.

"How’s the injury?" Guo Kaichen asked, looking back.

"Half the foot is gone, the shinbone is exposed..." said Lin Yanqing, who had been a medic in the army and had seen injuries like this before.

The operation had been a miscalculation. They had thought it was a simple mission, but they had unexpectedly run into the Superpower Special Forces and fallen into a trap.

Lin Yanqing angrily shouted, "The New Liberation Front deceived you! Why?!"

Li Songyan seemed helpless, "It shouldn’t be... probably their intelligence was faulty..."

"And you still trust them?!" Guo Kaichen pressed. "What did you give them in exchange for that intelligence?"

"Don’t ask anymore, I’m in too much pain!" Li Songyan swore.

By this time, there were even more drones in the sky. Lin Yanqing and Li Songyan lifted their rifles to fire into the air, struggling to shoot down three drones.

Then, four drones suddenly dived down, and the Car-9 submachine guns they carried started firing.

A rage lit inside Guo Kaichen; he shot down two, but a bullet hit his shoulder, slicing off a chunk of flesh. Gritting his teeth in pain, he rolled to the side and took cover in the bushes.

Lin Yanqing and Li Songyan quickly lay down as well. Two grenades rolled towards them and exploded with a bang, kicking up large amounts of dirt.

Guo Kaichen was bleeding from his ears, muttering expletives. He quickly checked himself and let out a sigh of relief when he realized the shrapnel from the grenade hadn’t hit him.

Lin Yanqing, however, had not been so lucky. A gash was cut across her cheek, blood streaking half her face, and a chunk of her waist was torn open, the blood soaking her vest and coat.

"Drones... damn it! We can’t stay on the mountaintop! We need to get down quick!" Li Songyan roared.

But soon, a wave of dizziness overwhelmed him, his head tilted, and he lay down.

Lin Yanqing gave him a shove, her own waist and abdomen in terrible pain. She pressed down on her wound, dropped her rifle, and propping up Li Songyan’s arm, began the arduous process of transferring him down the mountain.

Guo Kaichen’s eyes turned red, and rage and frenzy surged through him as he recklessly charged down the mountain, trying to clear a path for his comrades.

It was almost at the corner of the small path that Iron King’s squad and Guo Kaichen collided head-on.

Before they could pull their triggers, a fierce fire engulfed six fully armed soldiers. Next, the grenades they carried exploded, spraying blood and charred flesh onto the mountainside.

Iron King, in the end, realizing that the situation ahead was bad, decisively retreated. He silently descended the mountain, putting distance between himself and Guo Kaichen.

"Xiao Chen! Calm down!" Lin Yanqing squinted, struggling to call out to the retreating figure of Guo Kaichen.

But the other man could no longer hear any sound. He charged down, and his rifle, in sync with his rage, spewed out fire, quickly annihilating the squad that had rushed up.

However, the heart-stopping noise sounded again; it was the sound of a grenade falling onto the mountain wall.

Guo Kaichen cursed under his breath, and then he was flung into the air by the shockwave of the explosion, before crashing heavily to the ground.

He got up from the ground, his vision smeared with blood, only hearing the chilly wind howling around him, with footsteps pacing back and forth.

A great fire blazed around Guo Kaichen. The fire blackened the mountain walls; when it couldn’t find anything else to burn, it extinguished, only to be reignited by his superpower, flaring up time and again.

He stumbled around like a headless fly, his thigh was excruciatingly painful. He tried to lift his rifle but couldn’t feel his right hand. Looking down, he saw his entire arm had been blown off.

"Come out, you fucker! Fuck your grandmother!" Guo Kaichen roared.

Then, a black iron plate flew horizontally from a distance, like a cleaver, embedding itself into the mountain wall behind Guo Kaichen.

He felt a click in his neck, swallowing became difficult, and the dim sun above in the sky, like a speck of white, alternated with the dark gray mountain walls and dirt paths beneath his feet.

In the end, with a lowered viewpoint, he saw his own shadow.

"Xiao Chen... Xiao Chen!" Just as Lin Yanqing arrived, she saw Guo Kaichen’s headless corpse collapse and released the dazed Li Songyan, running towards Guo Kaichen.

The next second, a bullet pierced her thigh. Lin Yanqing stumbled and fell to her knees. Resting on her left elbow, she looked ahead and saw a long-haired man in a black jacket approaching.

"Ha ha ha! Dead! I told you this was an easy job!" Iron King laughed.

"Who are you!" Lin Yanqing glared at Iron King and shouted angrily.

"Shit..." Iron King kicked Lin Yanqing in the face, following up with another kick to her wounded abdomen.

Leaning against the mountain wall, Li Songyan shouted, "I am a United Council war observer! She is from the Yin Country Superpower Special Department! We can’t fight anymore! You shouldn’t be attacking us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a technical soldier brutally stamped on his lame leg.

"Ah! Fuck your mother!" Li Songyan screamed in pain, with the butt of a gun pressed against his neck, unable to move.

Iron King twirled his finger, and several technical soldiers carried the two of them down the mountain. Then, he made a video call to Ruan Yu.

On the screen, Ruan Yu lay on the sofa wrapped in a bath towel, looking like a freshly-bathed beauty.

"Wei Tianyang is dead. You should reward me well~ because you didn’t tell me he could play with fire," Iron King smiled.

"Dead? Show me the body," Ruan Yu said coldly.

Iron King stepped forward, aiming the phone’s camera at Guo Kaichen’s head.

"I don’t recognize him. You killed the wrong person," Ruan Yu said, lighting a cigarette.

"Shit?! You said he would attack the convoy! Then who are these three people?" Iron King said, astounded.

"I told you the transfer was definitely compromised. Tun Yun’s death must be related to Wei Tianyang. I guess before Tun Yun died, he would have informed him of my situation, that’s why the plan changed and I called you over. But I never said he would definitely go. I don’t recognize these three you killed. Their blood is on your own head," Ruan Yu said.

"I... Fuck??" Iron King was speechless.

"Try to find out what’s going on with them. Don’t make a mistake next time. If I kill Wei Tianyang myself before you do, our deal is off!" Ruan Yu finished and ended the video call.

Iron King looked at the phone screen, his expression quite ugly.

At that moment, a technical soldier came running and asked, "What about those two?"

Iron King’s face darkened, "Beat them until they tell the truth!"
