Chapter 559

His heart was pounding as if it were right next to his ear. Stone lowered his head and drew his pistol from its holster. He looked around; it seemed there were people and gunshots everywhere.

In the alleys on the side of the road, from the windows on the second floor, the continuous muzzle flashes left him completely unsure of where to return fire.

His reason told him that if he stayed in the car, the outcome would be terrible. What he needed to do most right now was to get out of the car, find a direction to break through, and regroup with everyone to break out.

But the moment he pushed the car door open, sparks erupted on it with a clanging sound.

They were sparks from the impact of bullets.

Since everyone discovered that Lance’s car doors were fitted with steel plates, it wasn’t just gangster cars that had them; even police cars were now starting to be fitted with steel plates.

A rumor had it that the Likalai state government was planning to install “steel doors” on all law enforcement vehicles to prevent heavy casualties due to lack of cover during firefights with high-risk targets.

So, Stone’s car also had steel plates. He felt the force of the bullets hitting the door transmitted to his arm, heard the whoosh of bullets flying past the car, and at that moment, he hesitated.

He looked down at his legs, and even his body, which were trembling slightly.

Trembling with fear!

“Fuck!” he slammed the butt of his gun hard against the car seat. He didn’t dare to go out now.

Outside the car, the gunmen who had gotten out to find new cover barely survived for a few seconds before being turned into sieves.

They had set up a trap, just waiting for them to walk right into it!

This was not an evenly matched fight; they were at an absolute disadvantage!

When Stone was born, the Five Families already had their “jianghu status.” He hadn’t participated in many real firefights.

In the gangster activities he had participated in, when others heard they were from the Kodak Family, many just surrendered directly.

Perhaps people’s impression of him, their evaluation of him, was that he was an excellent gangster, but he really hadn’t experienced bloody battles like the older generation.

At this moment, his legs went weak.

Just as he was in a daze, two cars rushed to the side of his car, about two meters away. The door of the opposite car was suddenly pushed open, and one of his trusted subordinates reached out to him. “Come over, quick, we’re leaving this place!”

Bullets constantly appeared around them, on the glass, the car windows, the car doors, the car body…

He was stunned for a moment. His trusted subordinate, seeing him in a daze, was extremely anxious. “They have gunmen up there. We can’t fight back at all. It’s all a scam. We have to leave this place!”

“Come over, open the door, rush over. They can’t hit you!”

He was right.

Unless Stone had a frame around him, those gunmen couldn’t possibly hit him.

Aiming at the short gap between the two car doors?

By the time Stone rushed over, they might have just reacted and pulled the trigger.

So now, there was a high probability that Stone could rush over.

The tires of his subordinate’s car were fine, and it could leave at any time. As long as he rushed over, got into the car, he would be halfway to safety.

Looking at the not-so-wide gap, at his subordinate’s determined gaze, he gritted his teeth.

His legs were still shaking. He had to overcome it!

“Fuck, what the hell are you waiting for?”

“Come here, come to me!”

“We have to leave!”

He looked at Stone in confusion. He didn’t understand what Stone was waiting for.

On the roof of a five-story building nearby, Mador’s subordinate saw the two cars parked side by side, and saw that someone was even still waving.

He was stunned for a moment, and then a look of excitement appeared on his face. Was there an important target?

In fact, they didn’t know if there would be any big shots passing by tonight. Their mission was to stop these people, but looking at the current situation, it seemed they had caught a big shot!

He said a word to the other “snipers” around him, and then they all focused their attention on the rescue car.

He pulled the bolt of his rifle, held his breath, aimed at the roof of that car, and made a simple perspective drawing in his mind, guessing where the driver was now.

Then, he pulled the trigger.

With a bang, a sound completely different from the papapa or pupupu of the handguns and submachine guns, and even in that instant, the gunshot from the rifle suppressed the sound of the other weapons.

And at the very moment the gunshot rang out, the driver’s body trembled violently. “Fuck, I’m hit!”

He looked down to find the wound on his body, and finally found that his pants had become wet.

The bullet had pierced the roof of the car and entered his thigh, passed through the entire thigh, and then into the floor.

With the sudden rush of adrenaline, he didn’t feel any pain at all, but he knew that this wouldn’t last long. He had been shot before.

“We have to leave. Come on, Stone!” The subordinate in the back seat was still shouting at Stone. Stone had already mustered up his courage. He licked his lips, muttering blasphemies against God. Just as he was about to rush over, a few more gunshots rang out from the high places around them.

All his movements stopped at this moment. He stared at his subordinate with wide eyes, forgetting to even breathe!

Several bullets shot from above pierced the car roof and also pierced his body.

He was like being violently pushed by someone, and then he looked down at his body.

A large patch of blood was slowly seeping out from his chest. Just as he was about to see if there were any other injuries, the gunshots from outside rang out again.

The bullet directly shattered his head—

After passing through the metal sheet, the bullet began to tumble. Its penetrating power was not as strong, but its destructive power had reached its peak.

It was like… a watermelon or some other fruit dropped from a high altitude, splitting open with a splat the moment it touched the ground.

All of Stone’s courage, at this moment, was completely consumed by the death of his trusted subordinate.

The driver’s compartment was hit by another round of gunfire. The driver also collapsed onto the steering wheel as if he had been electrocuted. The car horn began to blare continuously, a long, drawn-out diiiiii.

The gunshots around were still continuing. Their resistance was getting weaker and weaker. He even heard that some cars might have already left the scene.

When there were no rifles, using handguns or even submachine guns, the damage was actually not that great.

Under the cover of various掩体, they still had a chance to fight back.

But when they found that these people who were attacking them were even using bolt-action rifles, they lost the will to continue fighting and directly retreated.

The gunshots gradually subsided. The street was like a layer of fog had risen, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

All that was left here was the sound of the gushing and falling water from the fire hydrant, and Stone’s own heartbeat.

He looked at the driver’s compartment. The driver had died in the driver’s compartment at some point. He didn’t know if he was the only survivor here. The only thing he could do now was to play dead first.

Some scattered footsteps came from the surroundings, as well as constantly moving lights.

He looked out through the crack in the car door. A group of guys walking in the darkness, holding flashlights in their hands, were checking the bodies in those cars.

Some people might have been shot but not dead. They would add a few more shots, and then these bodies would be thrown onto the truck on the side.

Watching those people get closer and closer, Stone knew that the most important thing he should do now was to find a way to get out of the car, then rush into a nearby alley, use the advantage of the terrain to shake them off, and escape.

But his legs just wouldn’t obey him now. His courage had also been shattered to pieces in the face of the mangled, bloody corpse opposite him.

When a beam of light shone over, followed by a second, a third.

“…Said there might be a big shot in this car.”

The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer. Stone forced himself not to show a look of panic. He took two deep breaths and passively faced his fate in the darkness.

The car door was pulled open. Many people were standing outside. Several beams of light shone on his face.

He squinted and turned his head so that the people outside couldn’t see him clearly. This was his last bit of stubbornness tonight!

“Ah ha, look who it is?!”

A long gun barrel poked in. Although the force on the barrel was not very strong, it still made Stone turn his head.

The person outside seemed to recognize him, was stunned for a moment, and then shouted out his name, “Stone!”

For some reason, when his name was called out, he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.

“Throw the gun over.”

Stone didn’t hesitate much and threw his weapon over. He observed these people. They didn’t seem to have any intention of killing him immediately. His courage seemed to have returned a little.

He slowly straightened up and looked at the people standing outside the car window. “I want…”

The next second, the sole of a shoe kicked in from the outside, directly at his face!

Under the impact of the huge force, his whole person was kicked into a daze!

“Shut your stinking mouth! Take him back!”

He was twisted and dragged out of the car. He looked back at the street behind him. More than a dozen cars were parked horizontally and vertically. Some people were throwing corpses onto a truck. Everything seemed so quiet.

A large number of shell casings could still be seen on the ground. This was not a battlefield, but he felt the smell of gunpowder of a battlefield.

Just as his thoughts were wandering, someone suddenly punched him in the stomach. A look of pain immediately appeared on his face, and he bent over.

“Hurry up and walk, motherfucker.”

He was dragged into another car, and then, following these people, disappeared on the street.

Lance received the news at the first opportunity. The gunmen sent out by the Kodak family had successfully walked into the trap, but only a part of them were left; the rest had all retreated.

“We also caught someone you wouldn’t have imagined!”

“Who?”

“Stone!”
