Wei Jie
Chapter 826 Water Surface Warrior, Full Speed Escape
The sound, like thunder, echoed in the middle of the second bridge. The shockwave from the explosion and the dust from the broken bridge actually formed a short mushroom cloud, slowly spreading around.
"Glug, glug!"
Those on the bridge who died were dead. The remaining warriors of Bana City who could still move all jumped into the water in a frenzy.
The bridge was cracking, and no one knew if the collapse would continue, let alone when the next wave of rockets from the shore would come. So jumping down was the wisest choice.
Of course, many people were too weighed down by their equipment. They fell from a height of twenty meters, crashing onto the water and passing out, eventually drowning. Others were unlucky enough to be killed by falling stones from the collapsing bridge.
In short, Xin Xiaodong's wave almost took away all the enemy snipers from the high ground.
...
The warriors of Bana City were having a hard time, and Su Tianyu and the others were in an even more dangerous situation.
Although the firepower from the shore could hit the bridge, it couldn't precisely strike every sniper. Furthermore, Xin Xiaodong and the others had only parachuted into Bana City six hours ago. They didn't have many people and couldn't carry too much heavy firepower.
The phosphorus powder in the sky was still slowly dissipating. From a top-down view, Su Tianyu and the others were undoubtedly well-hidden. But from a ground-level perspective, the snipers on the shore could still clearly see the location of the boats.
"Fire!"
On the shore, a captain of the Bana City special forces waved his arm and shouted.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...!"
Seven or eight RPG warheads screamed as they shot towards the boats.
"Bang, boom!"
With a muffled sound, the slowly moving civilian boat was hit on the spot. The highest pilot house was directly blown to pieces, and the rest of the hull was riddled with holes. Seawater poured in, and flames leaped wildly.
Four core members of the Chinese Workers' Association were killed instantly, and several others were seriously injured.
The boat that was attacked was the one closest to the right shore, the one Gu Baishun was on. They shielded Su Tianyu, Jiang Zhou, and the others in the central boat from a lot of the fire.
In the lower level of the boat, Gu Baishun was tossed from side to side by the sudden influx of seawater. He grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted, "We can't hold on anymore, jump ship!"
On the central boat, Su Tianyu glanced at the right shore and shouted into the phone, "Regimental Commander Xin, Regimental Commander Xin!"
"Roger, over!"
"The enemy's speedboats have already checked over here. We have to run immediately. Have you cleared out the enemy on the left shore?" Su Tianyu asked.
"Cleared. Just come over here. There's phosphorus powder in the sky. Our long-range firepower can't see your location. Random firing could easily cause friendly fire," Xin Xiaodong quickly replied.
"Okay, after we jump ship, give us cover. Use machine guns for direct fire, specifically targeting their speedboats," Su Tianyu urgently shouted. "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Damn, what do you think I do? You think I don't understand this kind of tactic? Just run!" Xin Xiaodong replied domineeringly, not caring about the Sixth Master's reputation at all.
"Okay, thanks, brother!" Su Tianyu politely replied and immediately turned around and shouted, "Boss Jiang, Boss Jiang, jump ship!"
"Tap, tap!"
Jiang Zhou ran up from the lower level, "I've been ready for a while now."
"Let's go, get off the ship. Those who can't swim, hold onto those who can, everyone take care of each other," Su Tianyu shouted. He ran towards the railing, looking back. He saw at least twenty police speedboats rushing over from the right shore, moving extremely fast.
Next to the railing, Jiang Zhou looked at the turbulent sea, "I... I haven't done any deep diving before! I'm a... a half... half-aquatic duck... This thing...?"
"Bang!"
Before Jiang Zhou could finish speaking, a crowd of people rushed up from behind. Someone bumped his butt, and with a splash, Boss Jiang took the lead in falling into the water.
"Holy crap, he jumped headfirst?!"
Su Tianyu was stunned when he ran over. He looked at the surface of the water and saw that Jiang Zhou had disappeared.
"I'm really speechless!"
"Glug!"
Su Tianyu definitely couldn't accept his brother drowning, so he jumped into the water as quickly as possible.
The cold seawater instantly enveloped Su Tianyu's entire body. He swam forward about two meters and vaguely saw a figure wearing a life jacket floating past.
He swam over to take a look, and it was Jiang Zhou. His body was floating with the current, and bubbles kept coming out of his mouth and nose, but his body wasn't moving.
His brother was stunned.
The deck of the civilian ship was six or seven meters high. Although this distance wasn't too high, being pushed down headfirst out of nowhere still made it very likely that you'd be dazed.
Anxious to save his boss, Su Tianyu kept moving his legs and swam over, forcefully holding Jiang Zhou's arm and pushing him upward.
"Glug!"
Soon, the two of them reached the surface of the water. Jiang Zhou's mouth and nose were full of water, and he was completely unresponsive.
"Slap, slap!"
Su Tianyu went up and slapped him twice, causing Jiang Zhou's head to shake from side to side.
"Cough, cough...!"
Violent coughing sounded, and Jiang Zhou spat water from his mouth and nose, slowly opening his eyes, "Damn... I fell down before I was ready..."
"I'll hold you!" Su Tianyu couldn't care about anything else. He grabbed Jiang Zhou's arm with one hand and pulled him towards the shore with the other.
"Glug, glug!"
Before Jiang Zhou could regain his senses, his cheek was submerged in the water again. The cold, salty seawater poured into his mouth and nose, straight into his chest. The big brother was choked a bit and his legs cramped.
The two swam forward with all their might, and the deafening sound of motors could already be heard behind them.
Su Tianyu didn't have time to look back, so he could only speed up.
"Head down, head down, petrol bombs!"
Hou Guoyu's shout echoed. Just as Su Tianyu was about to turn around, he felt himself and Jiang Zhou being pushed down.
"Glug!"
The three figures submerged into the water again. Su Tianyu held his breath and turned his head to see his personal bodyguard, Monkey, pointing repeatedly at the surface of the water.
Su Tianyu looked up and saw that the surface of the water was full of flames. It was the burning scene after the high-intensity petrol bombs exploded on the surface of the water.
They definitely couldn't go up, or they'd easily be cremated on the spot.
Hou Guoyu and Su Tianyu held Jiang Zhou and swam forward underwater.
Two minutes passed.
The three collectively raised their heads, risking being burned by the fire to catch their breath. Although they were quick, the hair of all three, as well as Monkey's neck, were burned by the flames.
"Da-da-da...!"
Finally, the enemy's speedboats entered the range of Xin Xiaodong's troops, and intense machine-gun fire rang out from the shore.
...
Five minutes later, on the shore.
Da Bai carried Bruna onto the land.
You see, on land, Da Bai couldn't run, and his personal physical fitness was also very poor, but in the water, he was definitely at the Ximen Qing level of Dragon City! (a notorious womanizer in Chinese literature)
A prodigal son who grew up by the sea, how could his swimming skills be bad? Luckily, Da Bai had been with Bruna the whole time, so he was able to save her.
As soon as the two landed, Da Bai immediately pressed down on Bruna's mouth, and without caring whether she agreed or not, he started performing CPR...
Thirty seconds later.
"Oh, enough! Enough! I'm awake, I'm awake...!" Bruna was already starting to push Da Bai away.
"Don't move! There's still water in your mouth and nose, let me suck it out for you...!" Da Bai bent down to continue "rescuing" her.
