Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 932 - 871: Highway Interception

Mountain Eagle heard a tip from Mi Lu on the radio, so he rushed out and pinned down Galahad under the watchful eyes of panicking passersby. He ripped open his bullet-proof vest to check...

The bullet-proof vest produced by the Sergeant System is very reliable, but the armor plates in the tactical backpack were still a bit thin and didn't fully stop the .338 Magnum bullet.

The steel core of the bullet penetrated the armor plate at Galahad's side, then luckily shifted sideways.

The old guy's side was plowed open into a ragged wound about a finger wide, which looked severe, but was actually not life-threatening.

Mountain Eagle pressed around the wound on Galahad's side. Hearing the old guy let out a painful grunt, he exhaled slightly, pulled out a heap of gauze from his waist pouch, stuffed it against the old guy's side, then roughly wrapped it with cloth tape, saying, "You probably won't die, but we need to leave here immediately. Are you up for taking out those people at the front of the bank later?"

Galahad stood up clutching his side, tightened the Velcro on his bullet-proof vest, then glanced towards the sniper's position, saying, "I want to take a look there. You don't need to worry about me..."

Saying that, Galahad glanced back in the direction they came from, then shook his head, saying, "Gao Wen is very cautious. Jelant and Tristan are dead. He will definitely retreat.

Forget about them. You all retreat first. Staying too long will risk getting trapped by the authorities!

I'll contact you after I've taken care of my own business..."

Mountain Eagle looked into Galahad's determined eyes and realized something, so he nodded slightly and said, "Do as you wish. Our radio communication range is very broad. You contact Robbin, have him break from the group and rendezvous with you..."

Galahad closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Alright..."

Mountain Eagle roughly guessed what the old guy was up to, but he did not intend to persuade him otherwise...

After receiving a response, Mountain Eagle pulled two shock bombs and two smoke bombs out of the pocket of his backpack and handed them to Galahad. As he turned around he said, "I'll be staying in Bucharest for three to four days..."

Galahad staggered slightly toward the direction of the church, saying as he walked, "Thank you..."

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly, watching Galahad cross the road and disappear into an alley. Just as he was about to quicken his pace, he heard Mi Lu's urgent voice over the radio: "Attention, the Bucharest SWAT is attempting to surround you. Retreat, retreat, retreat to the east. We'll drive to pick you up."

Mountain Eagle's attention wasn't enough to control a large range in such an intense combat environment, so they needed Mi Lu and Camel to remain on the perimeter. So upon hearing Mi Lu's call, he turned without hesitation and ran towards the eastern highway...

As he passed the alley they came from, Blood Fox and the others also ran over.

Robbin, who was carrying a large bag of firearms, passed the bag back to Mountain Eagle as they crossed paths. Before leaving, he grabbed three boxes of 5.56mm ammunition from the bag, said 'Thanks', and chased after Galahad across the highway.

Mountain Eagle glanced at Blood Fox, who was slightly out of breath. He nodded at Eddie, signaling him to cover the rear, and then started sprinting toward the eastern junction.

A distance of about three hundred meters took them just over a minute. As they appeared at the junction, Camel came roaring in driving a BMW X5, tires screaming as he drifted through a corner, cutting through from between two vehicles, running a red light to stop right in front of Mountain Eagle...

"Get in..."

Mountain Eagle yanked the car door open and scrambled inside first. After Blood Fox and Eddie got in, he slapped Camel on the shoulder forcefully, shouting, "Drive, drive, turn left at the next junction..."

Camel's driving skills were exceptional. He stomped down on the gas pedal, and the BMW X5 shot forward instantly.

As they entered the next junction, they abruptly turned left onto a relatively narrow side road, then turned right onto Highway E81, speeding along the left bank of the Dembovica River for several kilometers. After circling a roundabout, they arrived near the Bucharest Railway Station.

Mountain Eagle kept an eye on the Bucharest SWAT using a drone, observing that it took them nearly 10 minutes, after the fight broke out, to drive armored vehicles to the front of the Tiriac Bank from five streets away.

A dozen police cars patrolled the streets around the bank for a few laps, seemingly without the intention to pursue them, a situation that left Mountain Eagle somewhat puzzled...

The authorities hadn't directly intervened; what was the reason for their previous strange movements?

Without needing Mountain Eagle to instruct him, Camel swiftly extricated them from the dense traffic near the railway station and then turned northward again.

As Camel drove out of the city center onto the ring road and entered the northern suburbs of Bucharest, Blood Fox suddenly nudged Mountain Eagle, speaking in a deep voice: "Look behind..."

Mountain Eagle instinctively glanced back...

Once off the ring road, the car joined the highway, a four-lane road separated by a median strip, with large areas of forest on the sides.

There were more vehicles on the highway, and perhaps due to the road conditions, they weren't traveling particularly fast...

X5 was driving in the middle lane, followed by a black Audi A4 behind them, while the right lane was mostly filled with trucks.

As Mountain Eagle turned his head, a black SUV accelerated past them from the left side, quickly disappearing on a mountain curve ahead.

Mountain Eagle had been somewhat distracted earlier, but his eyesight was sharp, and he didn't notice anything suspicious about the A4 behind because the driver was a man in a suit, and a woman in a red sweater sat in the passenger seat.

Knowing that Blood Fox, an old hand, wouldn't point out something for no reason, Mountain Eagle frowned and asked, "Is there something odd?"

Blood Fox kept his eyes forward...

When the X5 slightly accelerated through the curve between two mountains, he pointed to the black SUV that appeared a few cars in front, speaking in a deep voice: "This is the third time I've seen it...

The A4 behind us has been tailing us all the way, Camel tried accelerating and decelerating, but it is still there.

There's also a van sandwiched between the second truck on the right rear side and the third truck, there's something off about the way that van driver is handling the vehicle."

Mountain Eagle quickly switched to the UAV's perspective and locked onto Blood Fox, pointing out several cars...

Camel, who was driving, accelerated at the right moment, pressing the gas pedal to bring out the X5's performance, quickly overtaking the black SUV in front.

After driving like this for nearly 20 minutes, when the traffic on the highway decreased a bit, Camel returned to the middle lane, Mountain Eagle noticed that the three marked cars also began to speed up...

Once Mountain Eagle confirmed the other party had ill intentions, he checked the road ahead through the UAV's perspective and decisively said, "Speed up, take the next exit, there's a mountain road leading to Snagov Lake Park."

Hearing this, Camel stepped on the gas pedal again, the X5 roared with power, accelerating to a speed of 180 kilometers per hour within seconds...

Nearing the exit, Camel used a valley bend to obscure the view of the vehicles behind, skillfully snuck into the inner road, slightly decelerating to use the trucks and vehicles in the middle lane as cover, then veered off the highway.

When Mountain Eagle saw that the three trailing cars were not at all disturbed and still followed closely about a kilometer behind, he leaned out and opened the X5's sunroof, then stuck his head out to look at the sky.

Confirming there was no UAV tracking from above, Mountain Eagle frowned and said, "They caught up, someone is monitoring us through highway traffic cameras...

Either they have a hacker capable of infiltrating the Romanian traffic system surveillance, or they've rallied official forces.

What do you think it is?"

Eddie, occasionally glancing back, shrugged and said, "I bet 100 bucks it's a hacker!

Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to smoothly run on the highway for so long!

This bunch clearly doesn't want the Romanians involved in the fight, they want to solve us themselves..."

Seeing the three cars behind desperately speeding up through the UAV, Mountain Eagle leaned forward then pulled down the seat behind him and squeezed himself with difficulty into the X5's fairly spacious trunk...

Feeling the vehicle slowing down due to entering the mountain road bends, Mountain Eagle propped two tactical backpacks from the ammo bag against the trunk's inner side, then picked up the AK-105, aiming it backward, firing at each of the four corners of the glass...

As the glass on the trunk lid shattered, Mountain Eagle shouted, "Camel, slow down a bit..."

When Mountain Eagle was ready, Eddie, holding an M27, flipped over and propped his butt against the center armrest box, looking up at the sunroof, smiled and said, "Guys, how long has it been since we last did something this thrilling?"

The co-driver Mi Lu, somewhat plump, couldn't find a suitable shooting posture with the SVD, could only pick up the secondary weapon UMP45, rolled down the window, preparing to offer some firepower support, though meager it may be.

"I hate car chases, why can't we find somewhere to stop?"

As soon as Mi Lu's words fell, everyone glanced at the sides of the mountain road and shook their heads in unison: "NO..."

Just as the X5 was about to reach a series of consecutive hairpin turns, the howl of an engine reminiscent of a wild beast came from behind...

The black SUV roared fiercely, emerging from the bend on the mountain road behind, charging straight towards the X5...

Mountain Eagle pulled the Trigger the moment the other appeared...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

This time, Mountain Eagle didn't choose to shoot in bursts but pulled the trigger, unleashing all 30 rounds towards the black SUV...

But seeing the web-like cracks on the black SUV's windshield, Mountain Eagle cursed...

"Fuck, it's an armored vehicle..."

Seeing the person in the car behind lower the window, with a gun barrel sticking out from inside, Mountain Eagle quickly changed magazines, suppressing the enemy while shouting, "Camel, accelerate, accelerate..."

As Camel stamped on the gas pedal, using an extremely risky drifting maneuver, cut into the first hairpin turn...

Given it was a mountain road, as the X5 cut into the bend, both sides briefly crossed paths with a height difference.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

"Boom boom boom boom..."

With a better firing view, Blood Fox, Eddie, and Mi Lu simultaneously pulled the trigger, utilizing the height advantage to rain bullets down on the three cars below as they passed by...

Eddie, leaning out the sunroof, took down a gunman in the armored SUV, then looked at the van slightly to the rear as it seemed on the verge of losing control, suddenly shouted...

"Shit, RPG..."
