Chapter 40: The Great Hidden Danger

  "Bang! Bang!" Two single shots were fired into the passageway connecting the water tower and the sewer, and two guardian mercenaries fell to the ground.

  Zhao Ziyang's footsteps, which had been charging forward without any hesitation, suddenly stopped at the entrance of the room. The rifle on his back was replaced by a Nepalese military knife drawn from his waist.

  With a "whoosh" sound, the Nepalese curved knife in Zhao Ziyang's hand swung fiercely forward, its unique curvature creating an eerie arc that precisely split one of the emerging bodyguards.

  With a crisp "ding" sound, the mercenary's rifle in his hand was cut off by Zhao Ziyang from the muzzle, with a smooth and flat cross-section.

  The defender under the great shock immediately threw away the rifle in his hand, drew a large-toothed tactical knife from his waist and slashed towards Zhao Ziyang. But when he was about to slash at Zhao Ziyang, the Zhao Ziyang in front of him lowered his body, with a cruel expression on his face.

  "Pffft!"

  A sharp blade sliced through the air, and the guardian only felt a chill run down to the root of his right thigh, after which his body lost its balance, seeing his own right leg intersect with his body, finally completely separating.

  "Whoosh!" Blood splattered everywhere as Zhao Ziyang ruthlessly stabbed his heart with a Nepalese military knife.

  "Ah......" The guardian only managed to let out a brief cry of surprise, the light of life in his eyes beginning to rapidly fade away.

  "Rat-a-tat-tat..." Two more defender mercenaries rushed into the house, guns aimed at Zhao Ziyang.

  Zha Zi Yang, who had just killed the guardian, stared at the corpse and used it as a shield to charge forward heavily.

  Two guards saw Zhao Ziyang rushing in and immediately changed their movements in the narrow room, taking two steps back to pull away from Zhao Ziyang while continuing to shoot.

  "Take this!" A loud shout burst from Zhao Ziyang's mouth as he threw the corpse in his hand fiercely at one of the mercenaries, blocking the bullet that was about to be fired. His body flashed like lightning and dodged towards another mercenary, grabbing the scorching hot gun barrel with one hand.

  "...Sizzle..." The moment the palm touched the gun barrel, a scorching sound of flesh and blood was transmitted, and a smell of burnt fur came from Zhao Ziyang's hand.

  The guardian saw Zhao Ziyang's ferocious face and a Nepalese military knife raised high, heavily chopping down from the top of his head.

  A black knife shadow flashed through the air, breaking through obstacles with a whirring sound, as if emitting a sorrowful cry.

  A dull thud, a single slash that was impossible to resist, landed heavily on the defender's head, splitting his skull in two. After splitting it in half, the remaining momentum of the military knife continued to chop downwards, until it broke off half of the opponent's sternum.

  No one can describe the brutality and bloodthirstiness of this knife, the dull sound of bones being severed, making this knife the most prominent note of primitiveness and savagery.

  Splashing brain matter and chest cavity spraying out fresh blood, splattered half of Zhao Zi Yang's body. The scorching temperature carried by the human blood, forced the wildness in Zhao Zi Yang's body to its maximum extent.

  "Roar!" A low growl issued from Zhao Ziyang's throat, he drew out the Nepalese curved knife and swung it backhanded at another guardian.

  "Pffft!"

  The military knife chopped heavily on the opponent's cheek, the wide blade broke through the hard skull and deeply embedded in it. The curved blade cut the defender's high nose in half, a stream of dark red blood flowed out from the cut nostrils, and there was also a white brain pulp mixed with the blood.

  "Rat-a-tat-tat..." The sound of gunfire erupted, and several guardian mercenaries at the other end of the small bridge pinned Zhao Ziyang down in this room, concentrating their firepower on the door for a suppressive shooting, blocking Zhao Ziyang's escape.

  At the same time, a large number of pursuers also appeared on the other side, and they wanted to use the pincer movement to kill Zhao Zi Yang here.

  A dark elliptical object flew in a parabolic arc into the house.

  Seeing this hand grenade thrown in, Zhao Ziyang grabbed a corpse and covered it with lightning speed.

  "Boom!"

  A loud bang rang out, the corpse suddenly jumped up several tens of centimeters in the explosion, and then fell heavily to the ground. A piece of minced meat slowly flowed out along the fresh blood on the chest of the corpse, and almost the entire thoracic cavity was blown apart.

  "Five! Four! Three..." Zhao Ziyang stared intently at the direction of the water tower, where the defender mercenaries were rushing over, his mouth uttering a cold countdown.

  "Boom!" The water tower suddenly exploded violently, making the defenders' base feel the earth shaking once again.

  The massive iron water tower made of pig iron was blown to pieces, with large and small pieces of pig iron flying in all directions. At the same time, the entire area was filled with a deafening roar, mercilessly engulfing any objects and living things around it.

  "Hmph... Hmph... Hmph..."

  A mercenary who had not yet reacted looked at the flying piece of shrapnel, his face full of terror. This terror followed his upper body as it flew into the sky and then heavily fell to the ground, where his wide-open eyes saw that his legs were still standing on the ground, connected to his waist.

  A thick, gloopy substance flowed all over the ground, emitting a nauseating stench and bloody smell. Even a piece of intestine mixed with human feces was flung into Zhao Ziyang's house, heavily slamming against the wall.

  Zhao Ziyang's ears were almost deafened by the explosion and he opened his mouth wide to relieve the discomfort caused by the blast.

  "Rat-a-tat-a-tat..." The defender at the end of the small bridge increased the intensity of the design, even setting up a heavy machine gun to sweep inward.

  "Rat-a-tat-tat..." The dense gunfire hit the wall, leaving pockmarks like a pitted face.

  "With a loud crash, a large piece of wall skin could no longer withstand the shooting and fell off. In an instant, the exposed grey concrete was once again riddled with bullet holes."

  "Ricochets..." The bullet, hindered by the wall, made a distinctive sound as it wildly careened around the room, searching for something to hit.

  Zhao Ziyang, with a corpse on his back, blocked several stray bullets and grabbed the clothes of the corpse with both hands, throwing it out fiercely.

  "Boom boom boom......" countless bullets hit the corpse, riddling it with holes.

  The corpse's arms and legs were brutally severed by the exploding bullets, making a sound that was extremely uncomfortable to hear. The broken arm hung limply to one side, connected only by a thin layer of skin and flesh. The left knee was shattered by multiple bullets, bending forward and overlapping with the thigh in an unbelievable pose.

  "Damn it, let you guys have a taste of this!" Zhao Ziyangzi snarled, wiping the fresh blood off his face and pulled out a flashbang grenade to toss outside into the sky.

  "Pffft!"

  A faint sound echoed out, and the darkness on the small bridge was completely torn apart by this flash bomb, revealing a light that was even more dazzling than daylight.

  "Ah!......"

  "Ahh......my eyes......"

  “……”

  The defenders across from them let out pained cries as the gunfire ceased, their eyes temporarily blinded by the flashbangs.

  No matter who, no matter when, darkness is always the greatest weakness of humanity. When flash bombs temporarily blind people's eyes, humans will burst out with the fear hidden in their hearts, which is a human weakness that no one can escape. Even a seasoned warrior will experience instant panic in such a situation, but he will choose the most suitable place to avoid and take the most effective defensive measures at the first time.

  Zhao Ziyang, like a cheetah, darted out of the opportunity created by the flash bomb. In an instant, he threw a hand grenade at the feet of the blinded guards and plunged into the water tank.

  "Boom!" The hand grenade exploded, and the defenders fell down in a heap, letting out anguished wails.

  Zhao Ziyang quickly walked down the waterway after jumping into the pool, but when he passed by the small bridge, a burning pain came to his temples.

  Sniper! This feeling told Zhao Ziyang that a sniper had already locked him in and was ready to carry out the assassination.

  His body was in such danger that he didn't even have a brain to give any instructions, and naturally manipulated Zhao Ziyang to pounce forward.

  Bang!

  A sniper bullet broke through the air resistance, fiercely piercing Zhao Ziyang's body and sending him tumbling into the depths of the water pool.

  With a splash, Zhao Ziyang's body heavily fell into the water. The moment he landed in the water, he saw a sniper hundreds of meters away: a woman wearing a duck-billed cap, a tight-fitting vest, and a pair of short boots.

  Hunters of foxes, Zhao Ziyang immediately recognized this as hunters of foxes.

  At this time, the hunter casually pinched out a piece of chewing gum and threw it into his mouth, with one hand carrying a sniper rifle and the other thumb raised, then slowly turned down.

  She knew that this shot was unable to snipe Zhao Ziyang, and continuing with the second shot was impossible. It was already impossible to keep him here.

  Zhao Ziyang dodged the fatal spot at the moment he changed his posture, and the bullet pierced his shoulder, opening a blood hole the size of an egg on his right shoulder. The blood gushed out like a spring, dyeing the water red, making it impossible for Zhao Ziyang to pick up the gun again.

  Zhao Ziyang, with a bulging vein on his forehead, endured the intense pain and crawled out of the water tank, stumbling into the sewer, throwing down the last piece of explosives.

  "Wait for me to ask for help from the upper school!" Zhao Ziyang covered his wound, shouting loudly towards the outside, and then rushed forward frantically along the drain.

  At this time more defenders rushed over with guns and jumped into the water pond one after another.

  "Drip...drip...drip...drip drip drip..."

  The guardian of the Shui Tang changed color, this is the voice of the God of Death summoning his life.

  "Boom!"

  A deafening explosion erupted, the sewer exit collapsed instantly, and the force of the explosion swept in with the water pool. The small bridge also collapsed with a loud crash in the explosion. More than a dozen defenders were lifted high into the air by the explosion, their bodies slamming violently against the wall behind them under the intense force.

  After the shockwave of the explosion dissipated, more than a dozen defenders were unable to get up again. Zhao Ziyang escaped smoothly after cutting off the waterway and boarded the helicopter waiting at the exit, flying towards Almikhaneh region.

  The defenders suffered heavy losses, losing more than a dozen mercenaries and the most important satellite receiver.

  The colonel, wrapped in bandages all over his body, quietly looked at the collapsed sewer, unable to speak for a long time. After a while, he lightly moved his hand, gesturing for the hunter to come over.

  "Only one man?" the colonel asked.

  "That's right, just one person." The hunter, exuding a strong British accent from head to toe, shouldered his gun and added, "The special forces soldier from yesterday."

  The principal let out a long sigh after hearing this, turned around and walked away, instructing the spirit fox along the way: "Eliminate the special forces at all costs, he's more dangerous than anyone else!"

  "I understand!" The spirit fox nodded in agreement with what the superior had said.

  The commander couldn't have imagined that special forces would pull off such a crazy stunt after a big battle, and succeed at it. A major threat in the heart of the enemy, a major threat indeed.
