Chapter 817 - So, this is war

Arnold was an S-ranked mercenary, and the reason why he was instantly killed was that he had underestimated Yuan Lan and Su Tao.

Yuan Lan took the heavy machine gun. However, she did not show any difficulty lifting it despite the weight.

She had undergone professional training, and under Su Tao had tended to her injury, she had recovered some fighting power.

At this crucial moment, Su Tao’s medical skills have played an important rule. He was like a healer in games, allowing damage dealers to recover health points.

Su Tao sighed inwardly as he had become a small-sized tank, while Yuan Lan became the gunner.

Yuan Lan was fully focused at this moment as she did not spray the bullets out of the heavy machine gun. On the contrary, she had opted for tapping instead.

The scope of a heavy machine gun wasn’t as accurate as a sniper, but Yuan Lan soon gained control of the range. As a result, her every shot would follow with a person falling onto the ground, bringing huge pressure to her enemies.

In the end, no one dared to stand out and have their heads busted.

Then again, for Yuan Lan to be able to bring a sniper effect out of a heavy machine gun had spoken for her ability.

As gunshots continued, the surrounding mercenaries soon realized that they couldn’t afford to underestimate their opponents as they slowly closed up on the two.

However, their formation wasn’t complete as another person fell onto the ground. The bullets were extremely penetrative to the point of drilling holes into a tank’s armor. In addition to Yuan Lan’s outstanding shooting skills, she managed to strike fear in the mercenaries.

At this moment, they finally understood why Liu Jianwei and Yuan Lan could wreak havoc in Tomislav’s temporary base with just the two of them.

Then again, Yuan Lan’s companion had now changed to Su Tao.

Su Tao had long planned an escape route. However, there were mercenaries everywhere with God knows how many guns aimed at him. But at this moment, he could only stake it all on one throw.

Su Tao and Lin Yifu had agreed to meet a few kilometers to the south. He would be safe if he could rush there. After all, Stein wouldn’t fall out with Lin Yifu completely.

Although Lin Yifu only had a hundred with him, Stein would also have to pay a great price to achieve his objective.

Jacob and his men might be old, but they were all tempered by fire. On the contrary, Stein’s men were nothing in their eyes.

Even though Su Tao had run with all his might, Yuan Lan still maintained her accuracy despite the shaking that slowly made Su Tao felt relieved. The mercenaries who were obstructing their path all had a bullet in their brains before they could even react, splattering blood and brain juice on the wall.

So, this is war!

Su Tao had never experienced war, but he was already used to seeing life and death. So facing this scene, he only felt somewhat disgusted.

He was a physician, not a killer. So even when he was facing the Yugoslavia brothers, he did not take their lives.

But as a special agent, Yuan Lan was more ruthless. She was akin to a fiend god, killing everything that stands in her way.

Then again, Su Tao wouldn’t think that Yuan Lan was doing the wrong thing. If she wasn’t ruthless, then he would be the one dead instead.

As more people started to gather, Su Tao and Yuan Lan began to be surrounded. In the beginning, they only managed to breakthrough so smoothly was because their enemies had no knowledge on their ability. So when the first defense was crushed, they began to reinforce the second.

Yuan Lan and Su Tao were facing mercenaries who had experienced life and death, so they naturally knew how to protect themselves.

Within the observation room, Stein wore an unsightly expression as he had underestimated Su Tao and Yuan Lan. The two of them had taken out at least dozens of his, and it was practically a humiliation to him.

Sitting on the chair, Ying Xiong mocked when he saw Stein’s unhappy mood, “Can I still believe in you?”

Stein had taken a lot of money from him, so Ying Xiong had to give Stein some pressure at this moment.

“Shut your mouth!” Stein snapped coldly.

When Ying Xiong heard his voice, he couldn’t help feeling a chill down his spine.

Yuan Lan and Su Tao had hidden in a small room. It wasn’t easy escaping this base, so they had to allocate their energy well, not to mention that Yuan Lan’s injury had worsened once more from the intense battle.

“You’re burning up!” Su Tao touched Yuan Lan’s forehead when he saw her panting with her face red.

“I’m fine!” Yuan Lan gnashed her teeth as she added, “I can go on!”

Taking a deep breath, Su Tao retrieved his silver needle and pricked it on the tip of Yuan Lan’s ear.

Logically speaking, Yuan Lan had already lost a lot of blood, so it wasn’t wise to let out more blood at this moment.

However, Yuan Lan was burning up, so Su Tao could only use this method to cool her body down.

When it comes to treating high temperature, TCM would use the method of releasing blood. The logic was to release some blood to remove blood clogs.

It was an act to promote blood circulation. Then again, the amount of blood had to be controlled well.

It was also often seen in Korean drama where the male protagonist would suddenly fall sick and the female protagonist would poke his fingers with a needle. It wasn’t pure nonsense as it was proven in TCM.

After they rested briefly, the commotion outside suddenly calmed down. But all of a sudden, a black rounded object suddenly rolled in. It was a grenade as it rolled to Su Tao’s leg.

When Su Tao saw this grenade, he immediately narrowed his eyes. He might not be military personnel, but he did not need to be one to recognize a grenade!

In such a narrow environment, they would definitely be blown into smithereens if the grenade goes off.

As for Yuan Lan, she naturally recognizes the grenade and she also knew how strong it was. As an experienced soldier, she knew that they shouldn’t pick it up and throw it back out. It was something that only an idiot would do. They were facing experienced mercenaries, and those mercenaries would definitely not give them to time to throw it back out.

At this moment, Su Tao could only stake it all out.

Taking a deep breath, Su Tao swept on the table beside him as the table flew towards the grenade before breaking into pieces under the grenade’s impact.

Yuan Lan only felt a force pushing her down before lying on top of her, which she immediately figured out what was he trying to do. He was trying to protect her with his body.

Looking at this scene, Yuan Lan was filled with complicated feelings in her heart. She never imagined that Su Tao would care about her safety at this timing.

Su Tao might be a grandmaster when it comes to martial arts, but his body was still made of flesh and blood. The explosion from the grenade had caused a great impact, causing the entire roof to collapse with the windows shattered as white smoke escaped from the window.

At this moment, three mercenaries approached the room as the leader carefully combed through the mess with his gun. The room was in a mess, and he thought that Su Tao and Yuan Lan were dead from the explosion, so he wasn’t alert.

But all of a sudden, a blade suddenly stabbed into his wrist as his gun fell onto the ground. Thereafter, a gunshot followed before he collapsed.

Yuan Lan sighed inwardly as Su Tao was too compassionate. Even at this moment, he still did not want to take a life.

However, Yuan Lan wasn’t as soft as him so she took the job from him.

The two who came into the room also wasn’t able to retreat in time as they were shot by Yuan Lan. When Su Tao placed Yuan Lan on his back once more, Yuan Lan sighed when she saw his back covered in wounds, “Thank you!”

“Leave that to when we get out!” Su Tao held onto Yuan Lan’s bottom for more stability and took a deep breath, “Human tank, dispatched!”

Looking at him, Yuan Lan did not know how to react at this moment when she saw that Su Tao was still in the mood to joke.

However, she had not lost her hope because she wasn’t alone!

“The two of them are simply too strong! We lost another dozen!” A subordinate reported.

“Increase more men!” Stein roared with his expression ashen.

The mercenary base was huge, so more mercenaries began to gather under Stein’s order.

Su Tao and Yuan Lan found a tower, with higher grounds advantage. From where they were, they could see several military jeeps gathering in their direction.

“Help me up!” Yuan Lan managed to get before the RP-74 Machine Gun under Su Tao’s help as she began to fire.

Beside her, Su Tao had good eyesight as he could see a jeep being pierced by 12.7mm Calibre bullets with screams echoing out.

Looking at this scene, Su Tao sighed inwardly. As a physician, he couldn’t accept this scene before him.

However, this was a cruel fact about war.

As for those who created war, they practically had no humanity.

“Go down!” Yuan Lan immediately called out when she saw someone with an RPG-7 Rocket Launcher. As she pounced towards Su Tao, the two of them fell down from the seven to eight meters tower before they dropped on a cogon grass roof before they rolled onto the ground.

Shortly after they left, two rockets shot at the tower, blowing it into smithereens.

As Su Tao got up with great difficulty from the pain, Yuan Lan was unconscious as she laid on the ground. She was already heavily injured, not to mention that she took an impact to her chest when she fell.

Bearing the pain on his body, Su Tao walked over to Yuan Lan and pinched her Renzhong Acupoint. Feeling the pain, Yuan Lan coughed out blood as she slowly regained her consciousness.

However, their situation was getting direr with a jeep coming in their direction. The mercenaries on those jeeps were frantically pressing on the trigger as bullets sprayed out.

Yuan Lan also retaliated, killing the driver as the jeep lost control and crashed onto the wooden house.

As for the gunner, he cursed as he pushed the deceased driver away and took over the jeep and charged at Yuan Lan’s direction with a sneer.

As he drove, he roared as he swore to turn Yuan Lan and Su Tao into meat patty.

Looking at the jeep charging in their direction, Yuan Lan and Su Tao exchanged a glance without any fear in their eyes.

Although their situation wasn’t good, they still did not lose their courage as Yuan Lan continued firing, just that the driver managed to duck his head to avoid the bullet.

As the jeep got closer, it was just a few meters before they came into contact.

At this moment, there were also jeeps behind them, sandwiching the two of them.

Stein was seated in a jeep with a cold sneer on his lips. In his mind, he had already blacklisted the two of them.

The two of them had to die!
