I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 696 Strategic Retreat

Yan Shu's two tanks were ambushed and forced to brake suddenly before being bombed.

Protected by the tank's defense system and various defensive equipment, the tanks were in relatively good condition overall, but the place where they were ambushed suffered a terrible fate.

The few buildings around were affected by the high-energy psionic bomb and were completely destroyed, most of them were broken into small pieces, but some larger rocks were also blown away and hit the tank. They were blocked by the protective shield and landed next to it.

The accumulated stones piled up high, surrounding most of the chariot.

"As expected of the president of MC, even this can't break through that shell!" A low, husky male voice came from above.

The attackers were standing on the pile of rubble. The one speaking was the one at the front. His hair was messy and casually tied back. He was tall and strong, and his physique seemed to be quite good.

The attackers standing around the leader all looked similar, except their equipment was rather worn out, and they wore cloths to cover their faces, with only their eyes showing.

They didn't look like a proper hunting team.

The leader glared fiercely at the two tanks below, but his heart was filled with suspicion and uncertainty as he saw the tanks clearly.

Their ambush failed to deliver a fatal blow to Yan Shu, only causing damage to the tank's outer shell! But the heavy weapons the employer gave them had already been used up to 90%, and the remaining 10% was what the boss wanted to keep for himself.

This outcome left the leader, who had taken on the task, both unhappy and somewhat uneasy.

But the leader remembered what the employer had said during the communication: Yan Shu hadn't brought any armored guards this time, just a few ordinary bodyguards. He figured his team could probably put up a fight.

"Boss! Shall we make a move? Let's take care of them now."

"That CEO's vehicle looks really powerful; it's all ours now!"

The voices of his underlings came through the headset to the boss's ears. He raised his hand, and the psionic weapons held by his underlings were all aimed at the Yan family's war chariot and the bodyguards who had gotten out of the car and were in a defensive stance.

The gun barrel was steadily charging, seemingly just waiting for the order to fire.

The Yan family bodyguards also took out their psionic weapons, surrounding Yan Shu's vehicle while keeping watch on the people above. No one spoke; they were waiting for Yan Shu's orders.

Chen Gang got off the bus.

"Who are you people?" Chen Gang frowned and looked up to ask.

"The ones who will take your lives!" the leader's voice was icy.

He knew how many people Yan Shu had in his group. Now that most of the people in the car had come out, his eyes sharpened, and he ordered, "Move!"

Although the main target, Yan Shu, did not get out of the car, he was the only one left inside. They could easily deal with the bodyguards first, and then leave the CEO Yan Shu, who had no fighting skills, as their own.

"Spread out the firepower to protect the boss, and take care of those guys!" The captain of the Yan family's bodyguards commanded through his own channel.

I thought there would be negotiations, and of course I would listen to the boss's orders. But these thugs attacked directly, and the matter of retaliation is now up to them.

Due to their different locations, the Yan family is at a disadvantage.

However, the psionic blasts pouring down from above the pile of stones did not cause panic among the Yan family bodyguards.

The incident was somewhat unexpected, but the Yan family bodyguards were all professionals. They reacted extremely quickly, opening fire as soon as they found cover.

Yan Shu sitting in the car?

He had just drunk a mental energy recovery potion and was recovering from losing half of his mental energy when suddenly the fighting outside started again.

However, both sides outside were using low-energy firearms to fight. Compared with the violent energy just now, the fluctuations were not intense at this moment. Moreover, most of them were blocked by the tank's defense system. Only a little aftershock reached Yan Shu's side, and only one piece of his defensive equipment was triggered.

That makes things much easier; he can continue to recover his mental strength.

Outside the chariots was a battlefield of silent fighting between the two sides. Although the attackers were initially on the offensive due to their advantageous terrain, the Yan family bodyguards gradually turned the tide with their agile combat skills.

Even Chen Gang, an office worker who was originally assigned to get off the bus to negotiate, handled the situation quite well.

"Boss, boss, those guys are tough to deal with!"

"Ah! My leg..."

"Boss, several of our brothers are seriously injured!"

"What are you shouting for! Everyone, keep yourselves calm!"

In just a few minutes of scuffle, the leader of the attackers realized the disparity between the two sides, and he became furious.

The head of the Yan family was indeed not easy to assassinate. The eldest brother gritted his teeth, furious and resentful. It was all the employer's fault for providing them with too few high-energy weapons! He couldn't even keep a single one for himself!

"I've got them tied down! I'll blast them with one shot!"

Seeing that not only was his side unable to gain the upper hand, but was also on the verge of being counter-killed by the enemy, the leader endured the pain and picked up the remaining rocket launcher that he had come to regard as his own again.

Under his subordinate's cover, he aimed his cannon at the tank where Yan Shu was. Although the enemy had blocked the previous wave of fire, it must have been a huge drain on their strength. They might not be able to withstand another attack.

The leader narrowed his eyes and decided to use the remaining three high-energy psionic blasts to send Yan Shu to his death!

On the surface, he believed there was absolutely no problem with what he was doing, but deep down, a shadow lingered in his mind: if they still couldn't eliminate the target even with the weapons they had already concealed, then they would have to retreat...

No! Yan Shu must die! Otherwise, their trip will be in vain, and they won't get the final payment at all.

In the blink of an eye, the eldest brother no longer hesitated.

Charge up, launch!

"Not good! Take cover! Take cover immediately!" The bodyguard captain's scalp tingled instantly, and he shouted instinctively.

The bodyguards were completely unprepared for the enemy's heavy firepower! Why didn't they finish them off together earlier?

Without time to think about any of this, the bodyguards quickly found hiding spots the moment they heard their captain's voice.

Chen Gang, who had been protecting the tank, immediately performed a low slide tackle to the other side of the tank.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three powerful energy blasts came in succession.

Yan Shu's chariot was hit again, causing an energy fluctuation.

Yan Shu: "......!!!"

With trembling hands, he took out another vial of medicine and drank it.

Damn it! How much heavy weaponry do those guys still have?

Yan Shu, who had just thought the problem wouldn't be too serious, no longer dared to gamble on the opponent's trump card and immediately ordered a retreat.

"Don't get entangled with these people, get in the car! Let's break out!" Yan Shu's voice came through the bodyguard's and Chen Gang's earpieces.

Although they managed to dodge in time, the bodyguards outside the tank were still injured to varying degrees by the sudden barrage of fire.

Upon receiving the order, the bodyguards rushed towards the tanks without even taking their medicine, and before the dust settled, everyone was already inside.
