Chapter 116: 116.LG-5 type 40mm sniper grenade launcher
Lu Yao found an AK, picked up some ammunition, and hit the road in Perez's pickup truck.
Zhang Xin's "Leon Manor" was quite famous, built during the era of French colonialism and having undergone multiple reconstructions and renovations, now it stood as one of the world's most luxurious estates.
The scenery was remarkable, backed by a beautiful lake, with a natural and unpolluted verdant forest encircling it.
So much so that Lu Yao thought he was there for a vacation, until a sudden "sensor landmine" leapt into the air and plunged him into deep thought.
This round device didn't need to be stepped on; it would rise into the air and explode at a height of 2 meters upon detecting someone's presence, scattering steel balls to destroy everything within a 50-meter radius, leaving almost no safe area.
In its dormant state, the "sensor landmine" ascended in a slow spiral.
Lu Yao casually executed the Eave Dragon Stake, his limbs propelling him 30 meters in the blink of an eye, unharmed.
"Worthy of a drug lord to have such a thing." The spot where he had just stood was pockmarked with vegetation and the ground torn apart by the steel balls.
That loud noise must have been heard by the enemy. However, Lu Yao wasn't concerned; this was never a fair fight in the first place.
~~~~~~~
A helicopter took off from the manor, heading straight for the explosion site. Below were 50 members of the private military, donned in heavy bulletproof vests, deploying and encircling the area.
Zhang Xin said to Rose, "This could be the power that stole the 'Formula' before. It's not a bad thing that they've come to us, maybe we can get the Formula back. At the same time, I'm curious—who wants to kill me?"
Rose replied, "It's indeed good that they're willing to show themselves. I'll inform Commander Andre immediately and request reinforcements."
"Wait a minute," Zhang Xin stopped her, "Haven't you always doubted my capabilities? Let me handle this myself. Taking back the Formula with my own hands will be more convincing than anything!"
Zhang Xin had confidence in his private military. They were all from the special forces of the Inca Nation, each a seasoned and battle-hardened warrior.
"Alright. But I've got a personal score to settle with them myself! Hand me an LG-5."
A cold light flashed in Rose's one eye. The person coming might well be the murderer who killed her teammates and cost her an eye!
Zhang Xin laughed, "So you like it rough! This is Xia Country's new 'Grenade Sniper'."
~~~~~~~~
The first thing Lu Yao saw was the helicopter above him, and the crew spotted him as well.
The crew immediately notified the guards to rush over.
As the pilot saw Lu Yao aiming at him, he calmly said, "At 500 meters, that's beyond the effective range of an AK rifle..."
Before he could finish, several cracks appeared on the windshield from the 7.62 bullets. Had the glass not been bulletproof, the pilot would have been a goner.
Frightened, the pilot quickly pulled the control stick, causing the aircraft to climb.
Effective range first and foremost ensures accuracy; "beyond the range" means there's no certainty of hitting the target, but the killing power is still more than sufficient. And when any weapon was in Lu Yao's hands, its accuracy greatly increased!
~~~~~~~
After driving away the helicopter, Lu Yao redirected his attention to the approaching guards.
At a distance of over 300 meters, Lu Yao used the strength in his legs to leap onto a large tree and immediately opened fire on the enemy.
This distance was well within his range for precision shooting!
The guards were eagerly enclosing the enemy when blossoms of blood burst open on unprotected parts of their bodies—throat, face, groin—all hit in succession.
The men, from elite special forces, immediately retreated behind cover, dragging their still-living comrades with them.
Initially, they thought someone was close by with a silencer launching a sneak attack, but careful observation revealed that the enemy was at a considerable distance!
"At 1 o'clock, up in the tree!"
"At a distance of over 300 meters, how is this possible!"
Unfortunately for them, approaching Lu Yao was as good as being dead.
Lu Yao's legs powered up, causing the entire tree to sway violently as he leapt forward with its aid.
While these elites were requesting reinforcements via walkie-talkie, they'd barely spoken a few words before Lu Yao was already atop their heads, standing on a tall dense-flowered rosewood!
The distance was so close, so close that their bulletproof vests were completely ineffective.
Lu Yao pulled the trigger, and the 7.62 bullets whistled out, boring into the enemies' eyes, mouths, and throats—spewing gouts of blood that added a vivid touch of bloodiness to the forest.
The 50-man guard detail didn't even manage to slow him down before they were all dead, leaving only increasingly desperate calls coming through the walkie-talkies on their shoulders.
~~~~~~~~
Lu Yao continued to advance—the distant manor was now faintly visible.
At that moment, doors and windows within the manor were slowly sealed by inch-thick steel plates, leaving only circular firing holes the size of a bowl.
As the entire guard detail was wiped out in the blink of an eye, Zhang Xin immediately initiated an emergency response.
The walls of this house were embedded with composite steel plates, resistant even to conventional missiles.
At this moment, Zhang Xin yelled into his wristband, "Are you sure the enemy is alone?"
[According to the helicopter reports and the messages conveyed by the guards before they died, it does seem to be the case]
"Contact Rose, ask her to call for reinforcements from the Foreign Affairs Bureau."
[Okay, boss]
Zhang Xin cut off the communication, and even with heavy makeup, his complexion looked terrible. "How can there be only one…"
~~~~~~~~
When Lu Yao arrived, what he saw was a steel fortress.
Steel-plated defense with only a bowl-sized firing hole, attackers would have to sustain heavy casualties.
And that wasn't all—on the rooftop was Rose, manning a "Grenade Sniper LG-5"!
This weapon might look like an anti-materiel sniper rifle, but it fired 40mm grenades. It combined the precision of a sniper rifle with the destructive power of a grenade.
It didn't matter if the shots weren't exactly targeting Lu Yao; a grenade's explosion had a 20-meter range—enough to blast a target to death.
Right then, Lu Yao was greeted by this very weapon!
Suddenly feeling a chill down his spine, he quickly employed the Eave Dragon Stake to dodge, just as the spot he had been standing in exploded into a shower of metal shards that pocked the ground with small craters.
It wasn't over; the "Grenade Sniper LG-5" was semi-automatic. The next second, another round came flying.
It was as if thunder roared from within Lu Yao. With a snort from his nostrils, he instantly shifted over 50 meters to the side!
Lu Yao's Eave Dragon Stake was already known for its high mobility, and with the sudden increase in explosive power from activating Five Organs Resonance, he truly embodied the proverb of being "still as a virgin, moving like thunder", capable of instantly moving 50 meters!
Rose, watching from the rooftop, pressed down the shock in her heart. "Is that even human?"
But as an experienced field agent with a history of killing, she knew she couldn't afford to be distracted by such thoughts.
The "Grenade Sniper LG-5" she was using had a four-shot drum magazine, and it still contained two 40mm grenades!
Rose aimed once more, her finger touching the trigger. Read new chapters at мѵʟ
She believed in her marksmanship, and she believed in this new weapon produced by Xia Country; she was sure it would leave her opponent with no body left to recover!
