155: Still critical

"Even if they're burned to ashes, it's fine."

"Yes."

His subordinates began to act, some pulling explosives from their waists, others running towards the vehicles to get rocket launchers.

They all understood that the battle would end within minutes.

Under the dual attack of explosives and rockets, no one could hide in the shelters formed by the abandoned vehicles.

The sound of explosive pins being pulled rang out, and the rocket launchers were set up, aimed at the target.

Everyone was ready, prepared to throw or shoot at any moment.

The battle was about to be decided.

A gust of wind brought the scent of death, and dark clouds obscured the sun.

It seemed a rain was about to come, like tears from the sky.

Yatoniy had a cruel smile on his lips, raising the loudspeaker, ready to order the attack.

Ivanyafu's eyes were full of tears of regret, and he heavily beat his legs, silently blaming himself for his incompetence.

He regretted failing to protect Kadeyafu, failing to save this important person of the convoy; if there had been more help, stronger equipment at the time, everything might have turned around, but now, everything was set in stone.

In this moment of despair, Xu Ning's image appeared in his mind for the first time; perhaps due to extreme helplessness, he actually began to see Xu Ning as his only hope.

In the recent melee, he didn't know if the people he sent had escaped, but at this moment, he could only place his hope in Xu Ning.

Raindrops fell on his face, startling him from his contemplation; Ivanyafu looked up at the sky, which was covered in dark clouds, a heavy rain was imminent, and a sense of powerlessness was eroding his heart.

A flock of birds flew past, their sharp calls seeming to be bidding them farewell; Ivanyafu stood up, laughed loudly, ready to welcome the final battle, he just wanted to fully enjoy this last fight.

"Brothers, show the courage of our convoy, the convoy never retreats."

"Oorah."

All the guards stood up, ready to face the final battle, and Kadeyafu was among them.

"Seeking death."

Yatoniy snorted coldly and roared through the loudspeaker, "Fi..."

"Boom."

Before Yatoniy could finish speaking, a ball of flame suddenly erupted in the crowd, and several soldiers ran in flames; everyone was drawn to this sudden change, and Yatoniy was no exception.

Just as he froze, dense gunshots rang out in his ears.

He quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

On the hillside not far away, a jeep covered in mud suddenly appeared, like a raging beast.

The heavy machine gun on the roof was firing fiercely, every bullet was a letter of invitation from the Grim Reaper.

Yatoniy's subordinates were caught off guard, and in an instant, several people fell.

Seeing their companions fall, they realized the danger and hurriedly sought cover.

"What, what is this thing?"

Yatoniy was full of shock, but he quickly regained his composure and ordered his subordinates to counterattack.

Immediately, all kinds of weapons, explosives, and rockets were turned towards this jeep.

"Bang bang bang..."

Although sparks flew from the jeep's body and glass as they were hit by bullets, the sturdy armor withstood the attack, leaving only some bullet marks.

The explosives were ineffective due to the jeep's rapid movement and instead threatened their own personnel.

Finally, a rocket hit the jeep.

Incredibly, the jeep only shifted slightly after the explosion and then continued steadily forward.

It actually withstood a rocket?

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, and some even felt a trace of fear.

Where did this vehicle come from?

Yatoniy swallowed, feeling his throat unusually dry.

Inside the vehicle, Xu Ning tightly gripped the steering wheel, stabilized the body, and shouted loudly.

"Who's afraid of whom, Dayong."

"Understood."

Dayong understood the intention, firmly grasped the controller, adjusted the direction slightly, and then pressed the button.

Before coming, Xu Ning had familiarized them with the vehicle's weapon system; after simple practice, the three of them could operate it skillfully.

As the button was pressed, the two short gun barrels next to the heavy machine gun on the roof spewed gray smoke, and two explosives trailed smoke as they streaked across the sky.

They flew towards the crowd, followed by two loud bangs.

Wails immediately came from the crowd, and Yatoniy was momentarily thrown into disarray.

He originally wanted to escape, but thinking of Grigory's severe punishment, he couldn't help but shiver and instantly sobered up.

Yatoniy hastily picked up the walkie-talkie and loudly ordered his subordinates to intercept with vehicles and commanded them to continue bombarding with rockets.

The previous attack showed that these jeeps, which were almost as sturdy as tanks, could still be affected by rockets; once they charged into the crowd, rockets could no longer be used.

On the other side, when he saw the jeeps and motorcycles charging recklessly, an excited expression appeared on Xu Ning's face; he had been waiting for this moment, and he quickly flipped a switch on a control panel.

Immediately after, the anti-collision device at the front of the jeep suddenly popped out, forming a sharp triangular iron horn, making the vehicle look like a fierce rhinoceros.

This sudden change caused those who were originally charging forward to panic; they hurriedly turned trying to dodge, but it was too late, the "Rhinoceros" driven by Xu Ning had already charged in front of them.

The engine roared, and driven by powerful force, the jeep with its iron horn rammed other vehicles aside, like cars flipping in a stunt show, and soon seven or eight vehicles were overturned.

However, Xu Ning seemed not yet satisfied, because there were still people on a few motorcycles holding explosives and preparing to approach.

"Big Guy, don't stop the machine gun, Teacher, prepare the flamethrower."

As Teacher operated, pipes hidden on both sides of the vehicle began to spray fierce flames; under his control, the motorcycles attempting to approach fled one after another, screams rising and falling.

Xu Ning was like a brave general on an ancient battlefield, protected by sturdy armor, charging through the middle of the enemy; the battlefield was instantly chaotic, losing its previous organization.

The encirclement that had originally surrounded Kadeyafu and others disintegrated because of Xu Ning's charge; Ivanyafu, holding a submachine gun, stood rooted to the spot, watching the scene before him in disbelief, forgetting to shoot.

The scene looked very strange; a peculiar jeep was maneuvering against dozens of jeeps, and the fighting force composed of over a hundred people now showed signs of collapse.

So many people, so many weapons and vehicles, yet they couldn't take down one jeep?

"Mr. Xu is here."

Ivanyafu thought to himself, Xu Ning always creates miracles in the most incredible situations, "What the devil, what kind of magic does this guy have?"

Ivanyafu felt curious about Xu Ning for the first time, but he knew this was not the time to relax his guard; although the enemy was temporarily disrupted, their situation would still be critical if they regrouped.
