Chapter 776: Chapter 347: Brutal Combat

"Woof... Woof!"

Just as Gu Ji followed Gao Bo behind a flowerbed for cover and was about to rise and continue moving, suddenly, Duci inexplicably started barking loudly.

Gao Bo quickly turned his head.

"Spotted! Eleven o’clock direction, across at the mouth of the alley!"

"Rat-a-tat!"

"Bang——!"

The moment he spoke, Gao Bo pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Having experienced previous incidents, he knew well the advantage of striking first, and as a result, he managed to temporarily push the enemy back.

But before everyone could catch their breath.

The next second, with a "clang", three grenades were suddenly thrown out from the alley.

"Quick, find cover!"

Gu Ji shouted, pulling Gao Bo back behind the flowerbed.

Explosions sounded continuously, and the splintering fragments and shockwaves shattered the windows of the shops into pieces.

This block was a pedestrian street, with a very short lateral distance of just over ten meters, so even an assault grenade’s shockwave was enough to wreak havoc.

Li Yaoguang shook his head, still wanting to get up and fight back.

But in the blink of an eye, bullets began striking the flowerbed with a crackling sound, as the opponents charged out from the alley, starting a concentrated attack.

This level of firepower was evidently from a combat squad, with a rhythm of sustained and sporadic fire output, suppressing them so much they dared not show their heads, only risking a few erratic shots.

Gu Ji simply lay flat on the ground, rapidly sliding to the back right.

He saw within his view a group of seven Asian armed members providing alternated cover, moving rapidly along the wall to the north, four in front, three in the rear.

He seized the moment, aimed while lying prone.

With a single burst, he instantly hit one of the armed personnel in the chest.

The target fell instantly, and the group leader shouted "Cover!", at once, their suppressive fire became even more intense, and the rearmost person immediately grabbed the injured, quickly retreating into the nearest shop.

"Hurry, move north!"

Gu Ji pulled out his last smoke grenade from his waist and threw it, then got up and sprinted forward.

Gao Bo and Li Yanan closely followed.

After sprinting about a dozen meters, they slid back to the flowerbed position, turned around, and aimed back at the shop where the armed personnel had taken cover, providing covering fire for Li Yaoguang and the others.

Just as Li Yaoguang was getting up to move.

"Bang——!"

A shot rang out, and a bullet instantly struck his thigh, causing him to tumble forward as if a motorcycle traveling at high speed had suddenly slipped.

"Li Yaoguang!!"

"Left side area! Sniper in the north direction!"

Gao Bo shouted, and Li Yanan immediately estimated the northern position based on the shooting angle.

"Quick! Cover him!"

Gu Ji, eyes wide with anger, shouted for Gao Bo and the others to focus their fire in cover, while he, being the closest, quickly leaned out to pull Li Yaoguang into cover.

But as he stretched out his hand, a bullet whizzed past just above his arm, striking the ground.

Forcing him to retreat once again.

"Gao Bo! It’s definitely in the low northern area! Find it quickly!"

Li Yanan yelled with a hint of urgency.

But the grand pedestrian street was too chaotic, gunfire resounding everywhere, making it impossible to pinpoint the sniper’s origin precisely, as combat squads from all sides converged here, exchanging shots.

Especially near the core position of the PM Mercenaries.

In just two or three minutes, four or five people had already died on the street.

Without a word, Gu Ji utilized the [Anti-Sniper Detection Targeting System].

In an instant, unnoticed above the street, a single-rotor mini drone appeared, and as gunfire continued to erupt, numerous green laser targeting spots emerged in Gu Ji’s sight, marking the positions of the shooters.

"Ugh..."

Li Yaoguang clutched his thigh, enduring intense pain, trying to roll to the side to evade.

He barely moved when another bullet precisely hit his other leg.

"Ah——!"

The agony of a bullet entering his body caused Li Yaoguang to scream, almost passing out on the spot.

In a blink, a red laser suddenly appeared.

The source direction was marked with a red frame, clearly 230 meters to the north, on the second-floor area of the building on the right side of the pedestrian street!

"North 230, second floor of the white building on the right!!"

Gu Ji’s eyes flashed with murderous intent as he swiftly turned and fired his gun.

A three-shot burst hit the window frame position.

Regardless of whether it hit the target, he got up and dashed out of cover, quickly dragging Li Yaoguang back into the flowerbed cover, "Li Yaoguang! Hold on! You must hold on!"

"Ugh..."

By now, Li Yaoguang’s face was bloodless, with his jeans at the thighs completely soaked red by blood.

Gu Ji quickly pulled an emergency pack from his waist, took out compression tourniquets, and wrapped them around the base of his thighs to compress and stop the bleeding.

Duci was anxiously pacing beside them, stepping on its front paws; although it didn’t understand exactly what had happened, it could sense from the scent that its owner’s friend was badly hurt.

"The sniper has disappeared!"

The moment Gu Ji reported the position, Li Yanan had already aimed over but saw no one for a long time.

"How is Li Yaoguang!"

Gao Bo took a moment to anxiously inquire.

"The bleeding is temporarily stopped," said Gu Ji while patting Li Yanan on the shoulder, "Li Yanan, drag Li Yaoguang into the shop and hide; no matter what happens outside, do not come out!"

"But..."

Li Yanan was reluctant to abandon the fight at this moment.

However, Zhou Yu and Ling Yousong were struggling against an armed squad across the street, with both of them bearing the crucial task of seizing a crate, Gu Ji was the commander, and Gao Bo his best-coordinated brother.
