930: Chapter 920: Unbearable Pain 930: Chapter 920: Unbearable Pain Among the six people on the truck, three followed Big Beard’s leader and left, leaving three behind.
Gao Yang noted that besides them and another rcenary group mber, about twenty more big-bearded n and seven pickup trucks remained in the factory.
Gao Yang wasn’t sure how much cargo they needed to escort away, but the remaining people ignored them, busily moving boxes down from the truck and transferring them onto the pickups.
After loading three boxes, one pickup left imdiately, and the remaining boxes had been moved to the rear of the truck.
It seed that these remaining boxes with red markings were heavier than the original ones; four n could move the original boxes, but it was very strenuous for them to lift these longer ones, almost three ters long.
The boxes were successively moved down, and with the departure of the pickups, only six boxes remained on the truck, and only seven people were left to handle them.
Gao Yang furrowed his brow; he had been inford that he was to continue with the escort mission, but no one had told him what exactly they were supposed to deliver, and it seed they were being ignored.
Watching the pickups leaving one by one, and seeing that another rcenary group tasked with transporting cargo to Aleppo didn’t make any moves either, made Gao Yang very puzzled and sensed that sothing was amiss.
Gao Yang said to another mber of the rcenary group about five ters away, “It seems there’s no more cargo here that needs your delivery.”
Hearing Gao Yang speak, a man smiled and replied, “It’s nothing; the cargo we’re supposed to deliver isn’t here, so we just need soone to handle everything and then tell us what and where to deliver.”
Gao Yang had spoken to this man through the walkie-talkie before.
Gao Yang felt that sothing was off, but it seed there was nothing particularly alarming.
If anyone planned to kill them, the number of people in the factory wasn’t enough, unless the other rcenary group planned to engage them at close range.
However, just as Gao Yang observed around and felt no imdiate fatal threat, the man talking to him waved and said to his people, “Let’s go, we should be leaving now.”
The other rcenary group turned and left.
This departure felt wrong.
All the guns of the other rcenary group were off the safety lock, which wasn’t strange; it’s normal for rcenaries lacking a sense of security in unfamiliar terrains to be ready to fire at all tis, and Gao Yang’s team was always ready to fire.
However, Gao Yang felt it was abnormal for a rcenary group familiar with the local terrain and the Rebel Army to be on such high alert, carrying loaded and unlocked weapons.
Gao Yang quickly scanned the surroundings; three people on the truck were dragging boxes, four people under the truck were waiting to receive them, the three n who had co to escort the truck and left, and Mulafa taking turns driving, appearing to be Syrians, two Pakistanis carrying sawed-off rifles stood diagonally opposite the rear of the truck, not planning to help move the boxes.
The older Pakistani looked peculiar, a face Gao Yang was familiar with—the expression of reluctance yet obligation to do sothing.
Gao Yang felt strongly that sothing was amiss and imdiately shouted to the departing rcenaries, “Stop!”
Gao Yang’s shout caused the few people handling the boxes to tense up.
They were receiving a box pushed out from the van; after Gao Yang’s shout, two of the four n under the truck instinctively stopped handling the box and quickly turned, grabbing their rifles and looking toward Gao Yang.
The box fell to the ground, breaking imdiately, and a rocket fell out from the box.
Just then, the departing rcenaries didn’t stop, walking away leisurely while the rcenary leader at the back turned, smiled at Gao Yang, and said, “Buddy, what’s up?”
Gao Yang held a shotgun, not aiming it, but he was sure he could fire before anyone else.
Gao Yang didn’t want to aim a gun directly at soone to avoid escalating possibly safe circumstances into a shootout.
But neither did he want to let the eerie situation escalate out of control.
Seeing that the rcenaries were about to leave the factory door, he shouted loudly, “Stop!”
Just then, Bruce, seeing the fallen rocket, exclaid with a trembling voice, “My God, Sarin!”
Gao Yang felt a chill.
Sarin, a chemical weapon.
Indeed, the cargo Gao Yang and his team were transporting included not only money and rockets but also chemical weapons.
The other rcenary group’s leader spread his arms, smiling, “Buddy, don’t be nervous, no one here ans harm.
It’s just so cargo, and it doesn’t concern us, right?”
Gao Yang looked through the factory door, seeing the other rcenaries quickly disappearing on both sides of the factory after leaving.
Firing didn’t seem like a good choice since there were still at least a hundred people outside, but it seed he had no other choice.
Direct firing, however, would definitely push the situation into an uncontrollable shootout.
The Satan rcenaries didn’t imdiately raise their weapons, but Gao Yang, hearing the breathing from behind, knew they were prepared to fire.
Gao Yang still held onto a sliver of hope, although he already considered the situation irredeemable and truly had only that thread of hope left.
But he decided not to act rashly.
He was confident he could kill everyone left in the factory instantly with the Satan rcenary Corps’ shooting speed.
However, even if he killed everyone inside the factory now, it wouldn’t be of much use.
At that mont, the leader of another rcenary group continued, smiling, “Pal, there’s sothing I thought I wouldn’t have the chance to tell you, but your alertness is too high.
So now I have a chance to tell you.
My na is Stephen Hamilton, that’s my real na, but people like to call Rattlesnake.
Also, we co from Iron Madonna.”
Gao Yang raised his gun and fired at Stephen, because when Stephen ntioned Iron Madonna, an alarm went off in Gao Yang’s mind.
As he fell to the ground, he saw a flash of light from a high spot outside the factory.
When Gao saw the light, he had already tumbled to the ground.
Gao fired a shotgun at Stephen.
Stephen also fell to the side as he ntioned Iron Madonna.
Although Gao fired during the falling process, the bullet still hit Stephen in the side ribs, but he was unable to blow Stephen’s head off during the fall, because Stephen’s dodging movent was also quick and effective.
As Gao fired, three n with sawed-off rifle stocks instantly raised their guns and sprayed bullets.
After Gao fell, he had no chance to fire at Stephen again.
He had to roll as the bullets continuously hit the ground around him, causing cent fragnts to fly.
The sawed-off rifle stocks and the removed aiming fixtures facilitated quicker drawing of the guns, especially for suddenly pulling them from within robes and firing at a crowd to achieve a surprise attack.
But the shooting speed of Satan’s n was even faster.
By just lowering the muzzles of their guns, which were pointed upwards, they fired at the three n who had suddenly begun shooting.
With just three bursts, they exploded their heads.
Cui Bo knelt on one knee and fired at a sniper continuously shooting from outside the factory, then he rescued Gao who had to dart around on the ground to avoid the sniper’s bullets.
Andy He and Lucica sprayed bullets and took down seven people who were moving boxes.
Glolov, Jinfang, and Lucica fired at rcenaries shooting towards the inside from both sides of the factory, taking down two who popped out.
Then, people outside the door stretched their arms out with guns and shot into the interior.
Stephen was the only one without a gun, posing no threat, so when the gunfire suddenly exploded, he wasn’t killed.
Everyone had to fire at the most threatening targets to control the situation.
Stephen was very close to the door, almost just a step away.
Lying on the ground, Gao saw that the sniper could no longer threaten him.
He fired a shot at Stephen, who had crawled and rolled to the door.
Stephen lay on the ground, unhit in the head, wearing a bulletproof vest which the lead bullets could not penetrate due to poor penetration power.
So, Gao fired a shot at the ground, hitting Stephen in the buttocks and left leg.
Stephen was pulled out by a hand extending from outside the door.
Although Jinfang hit the person who was pulling Stephen and then shot through the neck of another trying to save Stephen, ultimately, Stephen was pulled out.
anwhile, the three n who attempted a surprise attack but were not quick enough in shooting had died.
However, Asif, while falling, had already fired his gun.
Although he couldn’t hit any of Satan rcenaries, as he fell, his residual nerve reflex caused his right hand to keep pulling the trigger, and the bullets scratched the ground on his side.
Seven n landed from the trucks and underneath, three with handguns fell, Gao fell, Stephen was dragged out, two trying to shoot inside from the door fell, Cui Bo fired at the sniper in a high spot outside the factory, and his large caliber sniper rifle blew away half of the enemy sniper’s body, and the lower half of the sniper fell.
In no more than three seconds, a fierce gunfight settled.
Just then, Bruce scread with all his might, “No!”
Gao fired two shots towards the door, killing two big-bearded n trying to rush in; then, as he retreated to the side, he heard Bruce’s desperate cry.
Gao turned towards Bruce and saw him sprinting forward two steps, rushing towards a rocket.
Bruce leaped forward, falling down in front of the rocket and stretching out his right hand, pressing his palm onto the rocket.
As Asif fell, a fired bullet hit the rocket, which was labeled in English and Arabic as Sarin’s 122mm rocket.
Bruce covered a small bullet hole on the rocket with his hand, then forcefully jumped, pressing his chest on his right hand, using his body to cover the rocket.
Gao felt like he was falling into an ice pit; he felt chills all over his body and felt his bones turn to mush, rendering him unable to even shout.
“No!”
“No!”
“Curtis!”
All of Satan’s n shouted out in despair, unconsciously crying out in their mother tongues under despair.
The gunfire stopped montarily, and just at that mont, Gao heard soone outside shouting, screaming out the reality he was afraid to face.
“Chemical weapons leak!
Withdraw!
Run!
Run!” (To be continued.
