"All departments, maintain vigilance..."
"Ms. Aurora, we have two options: either wait for rescue to tow away that truck, or turn back. There's a road about 20 kilometers behind us, but taking it would mean a detour and an extra hour of travel!" said Anderson, Aurora's head bodyguard and security chief.
"Anderson, you're the professional. I'd like to hear your expert opinion!"
"I suggest we take the detour. Those Americans are incredibly inefficient. We don't know when the rescue vehicles will arrive; we might even reach our destination before they do."
Aurora nodded and gave the order for the three vehicles in the convoy to turn around. Just then, something unexpected happened!
From dozens of meters away, the trailer of the large truck blocking the road suddenly opened. It turned out that instead of cargo, it concealed several individuals clad in black leather.
Anderson, in the lead vehicle, was the first to notice this. However, it was too late. These individuals in black leather were each carrying an RPG missile launcher.
"We've walked into an ambush..." Anderson's desperate cry echoed over the radio. At that moment, the men in black leather pulled their triggers.
An RPG rocket, trailing smoke, slammed into Anderson's vehicle. A powerful explosion sent the car leaping more than a meter into the air before crashing back down.
Anderson and the other three occupants were instantly killed. Even an armored vehicle or a tank would struggle to survive such a hit.
Another piercing sound followed as another rocket was fired. This one was aimed at the heaviest vehicle in the convoy, a jeep carrying several bodyguards. They soon met the same fate as Anderson.
Meanwhile, through the car window, Ling Tian saw three more men in black leather aiming their RPG launchers at his Rolls-Royce Ghost!
Although their vehicle was equipped with bulletproof glass, against RPG rockets, it was as vulnerable as a paper-thin dumpling.
The three men pulled their triggers almost simultaneously. Three rockets struck Ling Tian's car with immense force, erupting in flames and engulfing the entire vehicle in a violent explosion!
After finishing their task, one of the men in black leather picked up his radio.
"Queen Bee, targets neutralized!"
"Excellent. Confirm the targets are dead, then withdraw immediately!" Gu Tellis's cold voice came through the radio.
After a tense ten seconds, the smoke cleared, and the flames died down. However, the men in black felt something was wrong. After taking three RPG rockets, even a tank would be reduced to scrap metal, yet the Rolls-Royce before them appeared remarkably intact!
They hadn't noticed that the moment the rockets were fired, a blue light flashed from inside the car. This light rapidly permeated the exterior, forming a layer of solid ice on the car's surface!
The RPG rockets struck the ice layer squarely. The thick ice absorbed the impact force and the heat from the explosion.
The raging flames, though terrifying, had not harmed the car.
While the men in black were still stunned, the side door of the Rolls-Royce was suddenly kicked open, the entire door flying off. Then, a figure leaped out, wielding two Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolvers. The dark muzzles were aimed at the men in black.
These men were bewildered. They knew the Smith & Wesson Model 500; it was famous. However, they were all firearm experts and knew that firing such a weapon required a two-handed grip, otherwise, the recoil would shatter a wrist.
But the figure before them, they thought, must be an idiot, as he was holding one in each hand.
Soon, however, they realized he wasn't an idiot. With a deafening roar, one of the men in black had his head blown off.
Immediately after, a barrage of deafening shots followed. The men in black were decapitated one by one.
There were a total of ten men in the truck's trailer and cabin. Ling Tian's two revolvers held exactly ten rounds, and every shot found its mark.
The thick cabin door of the truck offered no protection against the revolvers. The door, along with the driver inside, was obliterated.
Ling Tian blew on the smoking muzzles of his revolvers and tucked them away. All of this was clearly captured by a drone flying thousands of meters above.
Several kilometers away in his truck, Gu Tellis watched this scene unfold, his eyes turning red.
More than ten elite subordinates had vanished in mere moments!
What he couldn't comprehend was what this Rolls-Royce was made of to withstand three RPG rockets without a scratch. It was utterly unscientific!
Enraged, Gu Tellis grabbed his radio: "Situation has changed. Deploy the swarm!"
At that moment, Aurora also exited her vehicle, highly satisfied with Ling Tian's performance.
Just as the rockets approached, Aurora had unleashed a spell, forming an ice shell around the car's body that absorbed the violent impact.
In the more than a year since meeting Ling Tian, Aurora's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, far surpassing the young girl she once was.
Even facing her father, Mario Cuit, Aurora could now easily crush him.
Just then, Ling Tian and Aurora heard the thunderous roar of engines from the highway behind them. They turned to see over twenty Harley motorcycles speeding towards them, each carrying a gunman with various weapons!
These were the biker gangs, Gu Tellis's proud subordinates, the elites disguised as bikers. Gu Tellis had named them the Swarm!
In Gu Tellis's view, even with extraordinary abilities, Ling Tian would struggle to survive facing so many gunmen.
Seeing this, a cold smile played on Ling Tian's lips. He turned and got back into the car. Following Ling Tian's instructions, Aurora also entered the vehicle.
After all, the Rolls-Royce's chassis was bulletproof, and staying inside would offer effective protection against grenade attacks.
When the motorcycles were still more than a hundred meters away, Ling Tian emerged from the car again.
Through the drone footage, Gu Tellis rubbed his eyes, feeling as if his vision was playing tricks on him. Ling Tian was now wearing a new piece of equipment!
