Embers Ad Infinitum

erself loudly, “There’s no way to go straight.
We can either reverse or continue forward and circle around.”

“Where are the rest of the Hyena bandits?” Long Yuehong blurted out a question.

After snatching this armored vehicle—which came equipped with a heavy machine gun—Long Yuehong inexplicably felt a little inflated.
He felt like he could counterattack and wipe out the bandits who had massacred Blackrat Town.

Jiang Baimian sensed the area and said, “There are also some electric signals approaching; they are from where the armored vehicle came.”

“Hyena and the others still have rocket launchers.
They might even have anti-tank rounds,” reminded Bai Chen.

The Hyena bandits even had thermobaric rounds, so it was definitely possible for them to be equipped with anti-tank grenades, firearms, and bullets.

“Then… forget it.” Long Yuehong was instantly shaken.

Jiang Baimian smiled and sat beside the vehicle door.
She then said to Shang Jianyao, “Go straight, circle around, and return to the spot where the jeep is parked.”

Their supplies were still there.

Shang Jianyao didn’t say anything and made the armored vehicle drive along the street.

Along the way, the armored vehicle deviated from its path and knocked away countless abandoned vehicles and wooden tables, forcefully clearing a relatively spacious and empty path.

During this process, the snipers seemed to give up on their efforts and stopped firing.
It was obvious that the three snipers didn’t bring any anti-tank firearms or bullets.
After all, they definitely wouldn’t have thought of attacking their team’s armored vehicle in the beginning.

The armored vehicle was thick and hard.
Even the ‘window’ could not be shattered by ordinary bullets.

At this moment, on the street where the armored vehicle had come from.

Two SUVs drove over one after another.

‘Hyena’ Lin Li—who was in the car behind—wore a grayish-green beret and spoke into the walkie-talkie.
“They’re up ahead.
Waiter, give them a taste of an anti-tank rocket.”

He learned of the armored vehicle’s condition from the snipers high above.
He then calmly ordered his subordinate—who was holding a rocket launcher—in the car ahead.

“Yes, Boss.” The bandit nicknamed ‘Waiter’ had already seen the two corpses thrown to the side of the road and the charred pieces scattered on the ground.

He identified with them, and he was also filled with grief and indignation.
Thus, the SUV he was in sped up, rushed past the sprinkler car, and turned in the armored vehicle’s direction.

At this moment, the armored vehicle had already arrived at an intersection and turned into the left street.

The armored vehicle’s back was the last thing the bandits saw.

“Chase after them!” Waiter shouted angrily.

Since the SUV was faster and the armored vehicle had cleared the path of any obstacles, the bandits quickly reached the intersection and turned left.

After chasing for a while, the two SUVs unknowingly escaped the three snipers’ range.

After making another turn, Waiter’s eyes lit up.
He saw the military-green armored vehicle slowly driving not far away.

He carried the rocket launcher, about to stand up and destroy the target through the open sunroof.
At this moment, his pupils suddenly dilated.

The armored vehicle’s door had opened at some point in time, and a beautiful woman with a ponytail revealed half of her body.
She aimed a grenade launcher at them, and she pulled the trigger.

After the grenade was fired, Jiang Baimian raised her right hand and waved it gently.

Boom!

The SUV was hit by the grenade, and a dazzling fireball tumbled out.

Much of the ammunition in the car exploded as a result.
This caused the flames to interweave one after another, producing a loud explosion.

Waiter and the driver beside him were vaporized.
The SUV’s door and windows were missing, leaving behind only a metal frame.

When ‘Hyena’ Lin Li turned into this street, saw this scene, and heard the explosion, he couldn’t help but tremble.

In the fire’s light, his face turned pale.

“R-retreat!” Lin Li immediately ordered.

Given its speed and mobility, the SUV definitely wouldn’t be caught by the armored vehicle as long as it could leave this street.

This SUV’s driver was also shocked.
He didn’t hesitate to make a sharp U-turn.
He then floored the accelerator, prepared to drive back to the other street.

Just as their car turned around and approached the intersection, a blob of blood burst out of ‘Hyena’ Lin Li’s temple.

Splash!

The glass in the passenger seat shattered at the same time.

The driver couldn’t be bothered to check the situation.
He stepped on the accelerator crazily, allowing the car to leave the danger zone and disappear from the intersection.

At the top of the armored vehicle, Bai Chen—who was hiding behind the heavy machine gun—moved her eyes away from the scope.
She then retracted her Orange rifle and sat down.

“How is it?” Long Yuehong asked in concern.

Bai Chen slowly exhaled.
“Hyena is dead.”

“Then, should we chase after them?” Long Yuehong’s sense of importance inflated again; he wanted to wipe out all the Hyena bandits in one fell swoop.

Jiang Baimian laughed when she heard that.
“Do you think the city ruin is the same as the wilderness outside? It’s better not to wander around in such a dangerous and strange city ruin.
Besides, we won’t be able to catch up.”

She looked at the tightly shut door and ordered Shang Jianyao, “Go straight, cross two streets, and make a left.
We’ll return to the route we took when we came here.”

“Yes, Team Leader!” Shang Jianyao replied loudly.

Through the dark bulletproof glass, Shang Jianyao saw bright street lamps in front of him.
He saw Heartless clearing the streets on both sides of the street, unaffected by the explosions.

In the surrounding buildings, light emitted from countless glass windows as figures walked back and forth.
