Physician’s Odyssey

Chapter 818 - One-Sided Massacre

Along with a resounding explosion that came from the distance, Stein was startled when he saw the black smoke rising into the air. But he recovered shortly after as he felt a bad premonition. That location was the armory, and if anything happened there, it would be a huge blow to his strength.

Stein started cursing in his heart. The armory’s location was discreet, and only those parts of the mercenary group would know about it. Hence, he immediately figured out that Jacob must have sold him out.

Stein could even give up on his own father, so he doesn’t have any qualifications to request that Jacob doesn’t sell him out before leaving the group.

When Su Tao saw the smoke rising into the air, a sneer rose on his lips as it was his masterpiece.

He asked for a timebomb from Jacob and sneaked his way over in the night. The bomb went off a few minutes later, or he would be able to cause greater chaos to buy time.

Then again, planting a bomb wasn’t something that anyone could do. It needed decent skills and a tiny bit of luck.

After that explosion, Stein’s expression turned pale. If something like this was known to the surrounding forces, it would definitely waver the hearts of his men, aside from the great loss. At that time, his men would be poached by other mercenary groups, causing a heavy blow to his strength.

Putting it in a nutshell, Stein had already suffered immense loss from Su Tao saving Yuan Lan.

He might have kicked his father’s subordinates out, but the strength of the mercenary group had fallen to a second to third-rate.

“Capture them alive!” Stein roared.

He wanted to torture the two of them. After all, how could he allow them to die so easily?

As Stein issued his order, a heavy truck suddenly charged over from the right. But all of a sudden, a robust figure suddenly charged out, knocking down ten-odd mercenaries before he entered the truck, knocking out the driver and taking over the control before he parked the car before Su Tao and Yuan Lan.

“Get up!” Liu Jianwei had arrived just in time.

He has been paying attention to the commotion here, so he immediately went into hiding when he heard gunshots.

While he was observing in the dark, he soon found the reason for the chaos. He had no idea what was Su Tao doing here, but he was actually causing chaos with Yuan Lan on his back.

Knowing that this wasn’t the time to talk, Su Tao immediately helped Yuan Lan onto the truck before he replied, “Let me drive instead. You and Yuan Lan can focus on firing back!”

Su Tao wasn’t proficient with firearms, so he could only come to this decision.

There was clearly a difference between a truck and an ordinary sedan. The steering wheel of a truck was heavier, and as Su Tao stomped on the accelerator, the truck crashed against another truck on the tight before he drove backward and headed in another direction.

“Don’t let them get away!” Stein never expected for such a turnout of events as he added, “Seal off all the exits!”

Ying Xiong’s complexion was pale when he saw this scene. The other party had caused such chaos with just three people, so what would happen if they had twenty instead?

At this moment, Ying Xiong’s heart was trembling as he started to regret his mistakes.

However, there what was done was done and there was nothing he could do about it.

When Su Tao saw Ying Xiong beside Stein from the rear mirror, he asked, “Are you confident in taking out Ying Xiong?”

“It’s a little far!” Yuan Lan was surprised as she never expected that Su Tao would still be thinking about the mission at such timing.

After all, it went against common sense. Shouldn’t they leave immediately instead?

“I’ll charge over in a while and you find an opportunity to take him out!” Su Tao replied in a cold tone.

“Alright!” Yuan Lan responded.

This was truly a plan of taking drastic measures to deal with this situation.

They were in a disadvantageous position, and the other party surely did not think that they will head back. Hence, they could take the other party by surprise with this move.

Looking at the mercenaries all around, the security around Ying Xiong was at the lowest at this moment.

As the truck broke down a few wooden shacks, it suddenly turned around as it charged in Stein and Ying Xiong’s direction.

“You guys are simply seeking death!” Stein sneered as he took a rocket launcher from his subordinate.

Even if Su Tao’s driving skill was great, his truck was still a pile of scrap before a rocket launcher.

As Su Tao’s truck gradually approached, Stein made his aiming and snickered.

But all of a sudden, a sudden turn out of events occurred as a bang sounded out, followed by Ying Xiong collapsing with his eyes widened. He had a hole drilled into his head, he did not die in peace. He never had expected that he would lose his life.

Ying Xiong was once an ambitious and ruthless person. With his schemes and methods, he managed to fight with Qin Jingyu. But his plan failed in China, he instantly became someone scorned by all.

He was planning to lay low before making a comeback with Stein. Hence, he made himself appear weak and obedient. However, he never imagined that he would lose his life in the crossfire.

“Done!” Yuan Lan did not fail everyone as she had completed her task with a relaxed smile.

They came to complete the mission, so they had to take Ying Xiong out even if they had to pay with their lives.

After all, Ying Xiong had to die.

He had planned the Seven Mountain Virus, taking lives and causing chaos.

He was a murderer, just that his methods were more discreet.

So if someone like him was alive, more people would have to suffer in the world.

Hence, Yuan Lan wasn’t just executing her mission, but she was also handing out her judgment on behalf of God.

“Get rid of them!” Stein roared with a deranged expression.

So many of his brothers died, and the other party even killed Ying Xiong right before him, so how could he possibly maintain his composure?

He had nearly a thousand mercenaries, but not only had he lost dozens, but his armory was also blown up along with the death of his bankroller.

If the news of this got out, he would definitely be finished.

Swish!

The rocket flew out and connected with the heavy truck.

But before an explosion had occurred, Su Tao, Liu Jianwei, and Yuan Lan had already jumped off the truck.

Looking at the mercenaries charging over in their direction, Liu Jianwei carried Yuan Lan this time as the three of them starting fighting a way out.

The mercenaries no longer belittled the three of them as all of them became cautious. Hence, they swiftly surrounded those three.

With hundreds of guns pointed at them, Su Tao, Liu Jianwei, and Yuan Lan had no opportunity to escape. If it wasn’t for them executing Stein’s order to capture them alive, the three of them would be lying on a puddle of blood by now.

“We’re finished!” Liu Jianwei smiled pridefully. They might be approaching death, but they had completed the mission given to them, so he had no regrets.

“Nah, our reinforcement is here!” Su Tao looked up into the sky.

A heavy-life helicopter, the Sikorsky S-80E, appeared in the sky with rockets beneath the two wings.

The Sikorsky S-80E was an improved version of the Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion. It was developed for the US marines in the beginning, but it was also adopted by Germany, Iran, Israel, and Mexico’s militaries. After all, just the third engine installed on it alone could provide great mobility to the helicopter.

Before Lin Yifu left, Su Tao made a request to loan a helicopter so that the Fire Beacon could hide nearby and rescue them when needed.

However, Su Tao was still surprised when he saw the helicopter. He might not be familiar with military equipment, he could tell that this helicopter loaned to him by Lin Yifu wasn’t ordinary, and it must be the best.

When the helicopter found their targets, the rockets were fired as it took out a tank.

Stein felt his heart bleeding when he saw this scene. Even if his father was in the firearm business, he had instantly lost one of the three tanks that he had left for himself.

As the machine gun figured, bullets rained down and took out the mercenaries around Su Tao, forcing them to retreat.

Under the threat of the helicopter, Su Tao urged, “Get up with Yuan Lan!”

Knowing that there was no time to talk, Liu Jianwei gave a deep look at Su Tao before he started climbing up the robe.

Seeing that his subordinates were looking at this scene with fear, Stein immediately aimed the rocket launcher at the helicopter and fired.

However, he still hadn’t reacted as one of the arrows flew over, striking his truck.

Stein had reacted swiftly as he immediately crawled down the car, but he was still injured by the shrapnel.

As the helicopter rose into the sky, the entire battlefield had turned into a one-sided massacre. Tie Ci was on the helicopter and was busy firing. At that moment, the mercenaries all felt an urge to escape with his strength.

After Liu Jianwei and Yuan Lan boarded the helicopter, the helicopter had already flown out just when Su Tao grabbed it. He could only hang in the air as he looked at the battlefield and sighed. This was the battlefield!

When Su Tao boarded the plane, his tensed nervous system suddenly relaxed and he lost his consciousness.

He had been relying on his strong willpower to withstand the injuries caused to him by the grenade.

Looking at the helicopter leaving Jacob and his men were shocked as they watched this scene.

Even if Su Tao, Liu Jianwei, and Yuan Lan had the assistance of a helicopter, it makes no sense that the helicopter wasn’t reduced to a target.

Although Jacob and his men of more than a hundred were in the disadvantage, the base’s armory was already destroyed along with all the explosives. The mercenaries were heavily injured, and Stein had no courage to fight a veteran like Jacob.

“Well done! Well done!” Lin Yifu praised as he looked at Su Tao who was on the stretcher.

Evidently, Su Tao had passed Lin Yifu’s tests.

There was no way that Lin Yifu would watch Su Tao die, so he had his network in Stein’s base. If the helicopter couldn’t rescue Su Tao, then this trump card would be sent out.

Then again, this act might cause his losses. After all, Stein’s undercover was a long term investment, so he did not want it to be revealed now.

But when Lin Yifu saw Su Tao’s injuries along with his mood of chatting, Lin Yifu felt guilty instead.

After all, Su Tao was worth his investment and was fully compatible with his granddaughter-in-law. In his opinion, Su Tao was so much better than his.son-in-law.
