With Huo Hu having left with Jing Shu and the others, Chen Fan's heart was free of worries.
He weaved and hurried through the hail of bullets!
It was a pity that the jeep he had snatched could not hold up for long.
He had floored the accelerator, yet the jeep had only traveled a hundred meters.
Under the assault of several armed helicopters that had quickly arrived and the more than a dozen armored vehicles behind him,
The factory building behind Chen Fan, which had been used for cover, was instantly subjected to concentrated fire from this powerful barrage and collapsed with a roar!
Amidst the tremendous explosion, Chen Fan violently spun the steering wheel, changing the jeep's direction urgently towards the bustling cityscape he could see to his side!
That was the downtown area of Dongying City!
As long as he could get closer to the city,
Then, to prevent social unrest and public panic, the enemy would be unable to use these heavy, modern weapons!
Chen Fan had already made his calculations and decision.
This was Sakura City, and the enemy's Self-Defense Forces were giving him a baptism of gunfire.
This was war!
Since the situation was now defined as war, it would be easier to handle.
Because Chen Fan was the God of War!
He was the God of Battle!
The jeep weaved and swerved, driven at high speed by Chen Fan, leaving the pursuing Self-Defense Forces members utterly stunned.
Chen Fan was still some distance from the city, and the Self-Defense Forces were free to open fire.
In fact, they were doing just that!
Bombarding and blasting with fierce firepower!
But!
Under this concentrated fire, Chen Fan, driving his car, maneuvered effortlessly into another factory building!
The reason, besides Chen Fan's extraordinary skills, was that Xiang Jing Shu was too special to the conglomerate.
In the central position of the armored vehicle troop pursuing Chen Fan, the Self-Defense Forces officer jointly responsible for this operation and the representative sent by the Mitsui Conglomerate were arguing in the command armored vehicle.
"Bastard! I want him alive! Chase him! The special experiment subject is in that vehicle, and he must be alive!" Mikami Tenjyo, the representative from the Mitsui Conglomerate, could no longer tolerate the Self-Defense Forces' violent attack methods and directly swore.
"Mikami-kun! No survivors! This matter has already blown up. If they live, we will have a handle against us internationally, and the consequences will be extremely severe!" The Self-Defense Forces representative, with a stern face, was equally unyielding and stood by his judgment.
"I don't care about that! If the special experiment subject is lost, our losses will be far greater than any international repercussions!"
Seeing that the Self-Defense Forces were not obeying his commands, Mikami Tenjyo began to speak hysterically.
After all, that Great Xia person named Xiang Jing Shu was too special to the conglomerate.
With just a few more experiments, perhaps… the President's great dream could be realized!
At that time, the world would undergo earth-shattering changes!
To Mikami Tenjyo, he was a nobody dependent on the conglomerate.
Therefore, at this moment,
Whether for himself or for the conglomerate!
The conglomerate's interests were paramount.
Of course, the conglomerate's interests were naturally greater than Sakura City's interests!
"No! This matter is too significant, your approach is absolutely unacceptable…" the Self-Defense Forces representative said, shaking his head with a stern face, before he could finish speaking.
At this moment, the armored vehicle abruptly stopped.
"Bastard! Why did you stop all of a sudden? What happened?" Mikami Tenjyo stumbled and angrily questioned the Self-Defense Forces soldier driving the vehicle.
"Reporting to Mr. Mikami, reporting to Captain Nohara…" the driving soldier said with a troubled expression, "After our pursuit, the target has left the industrial zone and entered the outskirts of Dongying City."
"So what? Why did you stop? Chase him! Hurry up and start the car, go and capture the special experiment subject!" Mikami Tenjyo said angrily.
"Mr. Mikami! Ahead is a residential area. Our armored vehicles cannot rashly enter, otherwise, it will cause panic!" Captain Nohara said sternly, "Once that happens, ill-intentioned individuals will apply for an investigation by the US military, and our Great Sakura Imperial City will truly be finished!"
"Damn it! Damn it!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Mikami Tenjyo jumped up in anger, "Nohara, the special experiment subject must be captured!"
"It can be done, but it will take time, and this is a residential area…" Captain Nohara's words trailed off.
"No! We must capture the experiment subject before dawn!" Mikami roared, cutting off Nohara's words.
Nohara, though resentful in his heart,
However, politicians obeyed these large conglomerates, and he was merely a minor captain in the Self-Defense Forces.
What choice did he have but to obey?
"Hai!"
Gritting his teeth and saluting, Captain Nohara reached for the intercom on the passenger seat.
"This is Nohara, this is Nohara."
"All units, attention! Immediately cease all heavy weapon fire. Lightly equipped, you must capture the enemy alive!"
"Remember, this is a residential area. Try your best not to cause panic!"
With a few words, Captain Nohara issued the order.
Then, his gaze fell on Mikami Tenjyo, who was looking at him with his nostrils flared.
"Mr. Mikami, please await good news. This time, I will lead the team personally and will not disappoint you!"
After making a solemn promise, Captain Nohara disembarked from the armored vehicle.
In fact, he had no intention of personally going into battle.
He simply couldn't stand looking at Mikami's smug face any longer.
Several miles from the suburban residential area, all the armored vehicles were parked.
Then, teams of fully armed Self-Defense Forces soldiers began to stealthily infiltrate the residential area.
This group numbered over four hundred. Approximately three hundred were sent to search the residential area for Chen Fan.
The remaining hundred were held in reserve.
While the Self-Defense Forces were in full swing, Chen Fan, who had hidden himself in the suburban residential area with his superb driving skills, had now climbed onto a civilian building over ten stories high, observing the Self-Defense Forces' movements with a cold smile.
Chen Fan, from the rooftop, had a clear view of the Self-Defense Forces' movements!
"Street fighting? Truly reflective of the nation, how petty," he sneered dismissively. Chen Fan then lowered his head, his gaze falling on the jeep he had used to escape.
"Come on, I've prepared a big gift for you."
The jeep was already battered and bruised.
But, it still had one mission left to complete.
