Chapter 573 - 552: Master
Joe Ga had no time to check on Menon's condition. The medical officer exclaimed on the public channel, "He's fine," and then began curiously examining the lad.
Despite having lost an ear, why was he clutching his ribs in pain, unable to speak?
Watching the medical officer pull open his own clothes, checking his chest inch by inch, and seeming even ready to take off his own pants, a rejuvenated Menon, clutching his waistband, weakly said, "Sir, could you please check my ear first?
I think I've lost a lot of blood..."
In the end, the medical officer couldn't find the wound that was causing the severe pain. Frowning, he looked at the pained expression on Menon and said, "Lie still, I'm going to rinse it for you, protect the ear canal. In a few days, I'll send you to Greece for surgery.
It's easy to reconstruct an ear with a piece of rib and skin."
Menon, seemingly indifferent about his looks, rubbed his ribs and sat up. He said, "No need, losing an ear is no big deal, sir. Just bandage me up, I want to go back."
The thing the medical officer hated the most were stubborn young fools who didn't listen to medical advice. He took out a can of antiseptic, attached a long slender nozzle, and while holding Menon's head, he sprayed wildly at the wound on his side of the face...
Menon, who had been the toughest just a moment ago, stiffened, then let out a sorrowful howl that could make a listener cry, startling Dorian not too far away...
"Hey buddy, what's wrong with Menon?"
Hearing Dorian's shout. the medical officer turned and said, "This kid lost an ear and still wants to play hero. He said he's fine with losing an ear, so I'm teaching him a lesson."
Upon hearing this, Dorian, while removing empty automatic grenade boxes, called out, "That's about teaching him a lesson..."
Menon, in pain, tensed even his toes, and howled, "Sir, I admit my mistake!"
Seeing that Menon had become compliant, the medical officer finally nodded in satisfaction and said, "Don't move. I just cleaned it, I'll bandage it now."
Joe Ga had been scouring for Karman's alleged expert, even missing a shot at the recoilless gun on the ground...
Two vehicles approached each other, aiming to fire at the small building where Joe Ga and his team were located while on the move...
"Bang, bang"
Two cannon sounds rang out, two shells hit part of the third floor of the small building, creating two small holes in the wall, and before they could reach a safe place to reload their ammunition, a 'Javelin' Missile was fired from either side of Joe Ga's building, hitting the pickup trucks accurately...
The 'Javelin''s top-attack mode not only killed the terrorists in the vehicles but also destroyed the recoilless guns.
The moment the two 'big guns' were rendered inoperative, the terrorists started attacking the small building as if they had gone mad.
Bullets struck the facade of the small building like raindrops, while inside only Dorian and Ayu were returning fire. It seemed as if Joe Ga and his team were suppressed.
Downstairs, Old Bull sensed something was off and rushed up along the secure route, shouting loudly, "Do you need help?"
No one paid attention to him, Nis, Antar, Kitten, and Joe Ga all sat quietly with their guns like statues...
This was the deterrence of a top sniper. Without taking out the enemy, Joe Ga and his team had no intention of shooting at the frantic terrorists.
After a patience-testing search yielded no results, Joe Ga, being the one with the worst patience, pulled the trigger and started rapid firing when Sanderson from Team B called him...
"Boss, there's someone trying to approach from our flank. We're going to intercept them and can't cover you for the moment..."
"Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang bang, bang..."
The fast-paced, efficient killing quickly harvested several lives, taking down terrorists who charged with heavy machine guns and grenades, which caused others to restrain themselves a bit.
However, due to the sniper's suppression, the machine gun positions on the fifth floor and the roof across the way began firing.
Joe Ga had to shift his barrel and re-aim at the fifth-floor windows across from him, pulling the trigger continuously...
This time the other side had learned their lesson. They had blocked the windows with furniture, leaving only a small firing hole.
Since machine guns don't require precision, as long as they could shoot bullets at the small building where Joe Ga and his team were, it was a victory for them.
Joe Ga kept pulling the trigger with no result. He discarded the magazine and inserted one marked with Armor-Piercing Bullets, then switched the fire selector to fully automatic mode, and shot 10 rounds at one of the windows.
"Bang bang bang..."
Dense little holes appeared in the furniture around the machine gun's muzzle, and then it went silent.
Seeing that his method worked, Joe Ga poured the remaining bullets into another window using the same technique. Just as he was about to reload after removing the magazine...
A high-caliber bullet hit the side of the shooting hole right in front of him, ricocheted, and, as if guided by some spectral power, grazed Old Bull's thigh and hit an interior pillar of the house.
"Barrett, one o'clock direction, from the tall building, distance 960 meters, wind from the southeast at 15, upwards angle of 11 degrees..."
As Antar quickly relayed the data, Nis swiftly adjusted his scope and decisively pulled the trigger...
"Bang"
The Depleted Uranium Armor-Piercing Bullet fired from the G29 traversed the 960 meters, hitting the enemy's hiding spot, but...
"Didn't hit, the target escaped..."
Antar announced the result calmly, then picked up the computer to control the drone to fly off into the distance while pressing the communicator and said, "Tony, launch two Springblade 600s, we need a little support."
The bullet whizzed by one foot from Joe Ga, but he showed no hint of fear.
In that moment, Joe Ga's heart rate even slowed down, the surge of insecurity triggered his most focused state, and the shooting frequency visibly sped up...
"Bang," a terrorist carrying an RPG who rushed out of a residential building got his head blown off.
"Bang," another man holding an AK crouching behind cover blindly firing had his wrist shattered, cried out in pain and toppled backward, immediately followed by another bullet hitting his head.
"Bang, bang," a terrorist tucked in a corner shooting got hit in the knee, and as his body involuntarily lurched forward, another bullet struck his neck.
........
........
Terrorists trying to advance through the residential buildings, under a round of miraculous display, finally developed a sense of fear...
When Joe Ga swiveled his gun barrel to quickly search but couldn't find any enemies, he finally took a deep breath, then felt his heart thump vigorously several times, the whole person feeling a tingling in the scalp, and even a strangely exhilarating sensation.
Lao Niu had been watching Joe Ga shoot the whole time and didn't even let the medic Bird distract him while treating his wounds.
When Joe Ga breathed out, Lao Niu subconsciously exhaled as well, then the bald man felt a slight dizzy spell and glanced at the graze on his thigh, then looked at medic Bird and said, "The boss just held his breath for over 4 minutes, can you believe it?"
After medic Bird finished treating Lao Niu's leg wound, he glanced at his watch and said, "It's 4 minutes and 46 seconds, a normal person should have passed out by now."
Lao Niu touched his bald head, incredulous, and said, "Is Combat Diving Training really that effective?"
Medic Bird hadn't gone through the initial selection of P·B, he paused for a moment, then looked at Joe Ga whose forehead seemed to be steaming and said, "Combat Diving Training doesn't have this effect...
Only a very few people can keep a clear head and have their brains secrete endorphins to enter an excited state while under hypoxia.
I didn't quite believe what Dorian said before, but now I do..."
Lao Niu looked at medic Bird, curiously asking, "Believe what?"
Medic Bird glanced at Lao Niu, ran to the pillar, pulled out a bullet as thick as a thumb with a pair of pliers, then came back to Lao Niu and tossed the bullet to him, saying, "Some people are born with a big heart, both in the literal and metaphorical sense!
I've seen big hearts both literally and metaphorically, just never one that has both."
As he spoke, medic Bird took out a bag of glucose from his backpack and placed it on Joe Ga's leg, saying, "Boss, you need to replenish glucose, or else if you go through the same situation a couple more times, you'll start feeling dizzy."
Joe Ga was taken aback, confirmed that there were no more targets to shoot at for the moment, picked up the bag of glucose, bit off a corner, and forcefully squeezed the slightly sweet liquid down.
With a bag of glucose ingested, his slightly tight stomach immediately felt much more comfortable.
Joe Ga nodded at medic Bird to say 'thank you,' then turned to Lao Niu and said, "Are you okay?"
Lao Niu moved his left leg a bit, weighed the bullet in his hand, and said with a smile, "I'm lucky, I'm fine!
I'm going to make this bullet into a necklace, as a keepsake..."
Joe Ga looked at the bullet in Lao Niu's hand, shook his head with a laugh and said, "Then you keep it, Depleted Uranium Armor-Piercing Bullet, the longer you wear it, the higher your risk of getting cancer."
Lao Niu was stunned for a moment, then threw the bullet away as if it were a hot potato, wiping his hands continually while glaring at medic Bird and cursed, "Are you insane, giving me this thing?"
Medic Bird nonchalantly said, "America's soldiers driving tanks with depleted uranium armor, out of 1000 only 2 get testicular cancer, the odds are not too high."
Lao Niu gave medic Bird the finger and cursed, "Damn, you just wait, do you know what happens when you offend the cook?"
Medic Bird indifferently said, "I don't know, but I'm sure the consequences of offending the medic are worse!"
Seeing that Lao Niu was alright, Joe Ga turned and checked on Menon, then spoke to Antar, "Did you find that guy?
I won't feel secure until he's taken out..."
Antar's eyes were glued to the computer screen, he said, "Found them, a man and a woman, they met up and then entered a building.
I'm monitoring there, just need to pinpoint their exact location so we can send the Springblades to bomb it."
Joe Ga, taken aback, said, "There's a woman? Terrorists use female snipers too?"
Antar, after hearing this, shook his head and said, "Boss, they aren't locals, they seem more like mercenaries.
The drone captured their side profiles, I've sent the photos to Tony and the others, we should get news soon..."
Joe Ga frowned and said, "Mercenaries? What are mercenaries doing meddling in Tubruq?"
What do you think?
