Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 100: Chapter 99: The Man with the Rocket Launcher

”Ye Tianchen isn’t really in trouble, is he?”

Sitting in the sedan, Liu Rumei couldn’t help but look back inside the car, unable to suppress her worry for Ye Tianchen. She didn’t know why, as logically, they were sworn enemies and it seemed impossible for either to find favor in the other’s eyes in this lifetime. Yet now, she found herself deeply concerned for this troublemaker—truly, the ways of the world are unpredictable.

No matter what, if it weren’t for Ye Tianchen, she, Liu Rumei, wouldn’t know how many times she would have died, let alone escaping now with the classified nuclear technology data.

”Don’t worry, this kid’s strength is unfathomable. Just take care of ourselves!” Yong Chun Tai said with a smile.

Liu Rumei nodded her head but still couldn’t help feeling tense, hoping that nothing would happen to Ye Tianchen.

Liu Yu drove to the already-prepared international helicopter landing site. As long as they reached there and successfully boarded the helicopter, they would be able to return to Huaxia. The mission would then be considered perfectly completed.

After nearly an hour of frantic driving, Liu Yu finally stopped the car in a forest on the outskirts of Hua Dun, which had been prepared in advance.

”Miss, let’s get off. Let’s escort you to the plane first; we’ll cover the rear,” Liu Yu said as he turned and looked at Liu Rumei.

”Okay!” Liu Rumei nodded.

”Everyone be careful. I always feel something’s off. Be ready to react at any moment,” Yong Chun Tai said, surveying the quiet surroundings.

Liu Yu, Jiang Meng, and Fei Yun were the first to get out of the car, cautiously standing around, all holding their guns. This was a critical moment; they had to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Yong Chun Tai then opened the car door and got out first, followed by Liu Rumei. But just as Liu Rumei stepped out, huge spotlights suddenly lit up around them, followed by a hail of bullets—their position had been ambushed.

Yong Chun Tai, quick as lightning, shielded Liu Rumei behind the car. By then, Liu Yu, Jiang Meng, and Fei Yun had already begun returning fire, but unfortunately, the attackers were numerous and fiercely armed, and they couldn’t break out immediately.

”Get in the car, get out of here first,” Yong Chun Tai yelled loudly.

Given such a fierce ambush, and with soldiers brandishing submachine guns everywhere, it was absolutely impossible for Liu Rumei and the others to board the helicopter. If they didn’t leave quickly, not to mention boarding, they might even lose their lives.

It must be said that Yong Chun Tai, Liu Yu, Jiang Meng, and Fei Yun were all extremely capable. Faced with nearly a hundred soldiers armed with submachine guns intent on killing them, they still forcefully carved a bloody path and drove deeper into the forest.

”Pursue them and report to General Beach immediately. Tell him we’ve located these Eastern people, and we’re in pursuit!” a middle-aged American man, who seemed like a commander, said viciously.

Several military trucks closely pursued the small sedan carrying Liu Rumei and her companions. They simply couldn’t shake them off—the enemy not only outnumbered them but also boasted firepower several times greater. That they had managed to break free and escape was already quite an achievement.

Screech!

A sudden brake—Liu Yu stopped the car, sweat breaking out on his forehead. He had almost driven them to death; a high mountain loomed ahead, and hitting it at this speed would definitely result in a deadly crash. This also meant they had no escape route left.

”Get out of the car!” Yong Chun Tai made a quick decision and opened the door.

Liu Yu, Jiang Meng, and Fei Yun also hurriedly got out, and almost at the moment they did, nearly a hundred armed soldiers caught up to them, all aiming their submachine guns at them.

”Put down your weapons and surrender. No one can oppose our country,” the leading middle-aged commander shouted at Liu Rumei and the others.

”Fight! Even if we all die, we cannot become prisoners!” Yong Chun Tai said coldly.

Hearing Yong Chun Tai’s words, Liu Yu and the others nodded. They were aware of the situation. There was almost no chance of breaking through; their only option was a desperate fight.

The fierce battle lasted for about half an hour. Liu Yu, Jiang Meng, Fei Yun, Yong Chun Tai, including Liu Rumei who joined in the fight, had used up all their ammunition. Many of the soldiers surrounding them were dead or wounded, and the five of them had suffered various injuries; Jiang Meng’s were the most severe. He was shot in the left shoulder, the bullet piercing through his left lung, instantly soaking his clothes with blood.

”Jiang Meng, Jiang Meng, are you alright, man?” Fei Yun kept firing back as he shouted loudly towards Jiang Meng.

”I won’t die. Everyone be careful; there’s a sniper,” Jiang Meng said, his face pale as he endured the intense pain.

Jiang Meng had just been hit by that unexpected shot. They had snipers hidden in the dark, ready to shoot and kill them on sight, determined to eliminate them completely and prevent their return to their country.

Liu Rumei, too, watched with anxiety. They were surrounded, almost certainly unable to break out. Facing so many elite troops, they could only fight to the death, unable to escape. Could it be that they would all die here?

Meanwhile, in District 15, Washington, General Beach had already received a report from his subordinates, stating that they had located the Eastern people who had come for the transaction, and his men had surrounded them and were in pursuit.

”Kill them, kill them all, we absolutely cannot let these Easterners return to their country. If other nations find out, they won’t dare oppose our M nation,” General Beach said arrogantly.

”Yes, General!” The soldier standing next to him saluted and responded.

”Right, has the Eastern Demon also been surrounded?” General Beach thought of Ye Tianchen, his main concern, and thus he asked.

”This... according to the intelligence, there’s no trace of the Eastern Demon...” the soldier said quietly.

”Damn it, the Eastern Demon is the one we truly need to kill. Find him immediately and kill him,” General Beach cursed angrily.

”Yes!”

At this time, Ye Tianchen was riding a motorcycle, quickly heading to the location where Liu Rumei and the others were preparing to board a helicopter and leave. He looked up at the military aircraft flying over his head and couldn’t help but think to himself that things had escalated greatly; the M nation had even dispatched their military forces. This was going to be quite a challenge.

At this moment, Liu Rumei, Yong Chun Tai, Liu Yu, Jiang Meng, and Fei Yun were all at their wits’ end, trapped with no way out. Despite having killed many of the elite troops besieging them, the enemy’s numbers were simply too overwhelming, all equipped with submachine guns, and with snipers hidden in the shadows, they couldn’t extend their reach and were only forced further and further back until they had no way to retreat.

”What should we do?” Fei Yun, supporting the injured Jiang Meng, asked Liu Yu.

”Even if we die, we cannot become prisoners of the M nation. Failing the mission is already a letdown to our country and people, and being captured by these M nation troops would further disgrace Huaxia,” Liu Rumei said firmly.

”Miss is right, we’d rather die than become prisoners,” Yong Chun Tai nodded and agreed.

”Alright, let us break out and fight them off fiercely. Killing one more is still one less,” Liu Yu clenched his fists and said.

Whoosh!

Just as Liu Yu and others were prepared to charge out, even if it meant being turned into a bloody mess rather than being captured, a bright light streaked across the night sky.

Bang!

An explosive sound roared through the air as two military trucks were blown away and over a dozen M nation soldiers were scattered by the blast, stunning everyone. Who on earth was so fierce as to use a rocket launcher?

Everyone looked toward the direction from which the rocket had been fired, and saw a figure casually walking forward with his left hand in his trouser pocket and his right hand carrying a rocket launcher. The most striking thing about him was the cigarette dangling from his lips, giving him an incredibly domineering and cool demeanor.

”Ye Tianchen!” Liu Rumei couldn’t help shouting out loud.

”The, the Eastern Demon... Kill him!” The leading middle-aged military officer finally reacted and waved his hand, ordering his soldiers to shoot at Ye Tianchen.

Unfortunately, the soldiers had not yet recovered from their shock, and another explosive sound followed; Ye Tianchen’s second rocket blew the leading officer into the air, leaving a splatter of blood in mid-air, violent and tyrannical.

All the people present were stunned, and the dozens of remaining armed soldiers were also trembling. They were soldiers, killing was not unusual for them, but seeing Ye Tianchen’s domineering manner of killing, especially with a rocket launcher in hand and his capable fighting skills, he could blow away a group of them with one rocket; facing such large-scale lethal weaponry wielded by a man known as the Eastern Demon, they truly got intimidated.

”Aren’t you leaving, or are you waiting for me to fire another rocket? Don’t be cannon fodder for the M nation, go home and enjoy some time with your wives!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile to the remaining soldiers.

Someone, not knowing who, threw away their gun and left. As long as one led the way, which of these remaining people wasn’t afraid of dying? They all threw down their guns and ran.

”Damn, that was close, I only managed to get these two rockets!” Ye Tianchen threw the rocket launcher on the ground and let out a long breath.

”You finally made it, thank you!” Liu Yu walked up to Ye Tianchen and said earnestly.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Jiang Meng, then at Yong Chun Tai and Fei Yun, knowing that they had gone through a tough battle and were all more or less injured, and that soon a large force of elite soldiers would be coming; they would be unable to escape by then.

”Let’s get moving, we can talk once we’re on the plane,” Ye Tianchen said.

”Ye Tianchen...” Liu Rumei looked at Ye Tianchen and started to say something with a smile but was interrupted by Ye Tianchen.

”Let’s go, a woman’s idle talk should not be too much, too much of it is like water, spilling everywhere...”

”Go to hell!”
