Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1249 - Meeting The Enemy

Chapter 1249 Meeting The Enemy

“What happened?! What happened?!”The middle-aged driver, who had been sleeping a moment ago, woke up from his dream and raised his head to shout.

“Get down! You useless thing! Get down! ” Vladimir was trying to turn the steering wheel while hiding under the seat, so he couldn’t see the road ahead clearly.

Fortunately, this was a one-way lane, so he didn’t have to worry about cars coming from the front.

Intending to slide to the empty space in front of the car seat to hide, the driver immediately turned his body to the side and unbuckled his seat belt.

But the other party seemed to have locked onto the person in the car.

The moment he moved, a bullet suddenly pierced through the front window, almost flying over the head of Vladimir, who was cowering, and hit the driver right in his back!

The middle-aged driver screamed and fell forward with a thud.

He was so big that the entire jeep shook with him.

When Gu Nianzhi heard the sound of the bullet piercing through the window and the middle-aged driver’s scream, her heart sank. Afraid that he would also be hit by the bullet, she quickly hugged Huo Shaoheng tightly and pulled him down with all her might.

If possible, she wished that she could take the bullet for Huo Shaoheng.

Huo Shaoheng had been covering for others and taking the bullet for others for so many years.

This time, he was protected by the girl he loved.

He felt warm inside. Although he was in a life-and-death situation where he was being hunted by a mysterious adversary, he didn’t panic at all.

He lowered his head and kissed Gu Nianzhi’s anxious face. He smiled and asked, “Do you want to see me perform a magic trick?”

Gu Nianzhi: ” ... ”

Was Huo Shaoheng scared out of his wits?

Gu Nianzhi cursed him inside. She was about to tell him not to joke around when she heard Huo Shaoheng say to Vladimir, “Give me the pistol. ”

Vladimir: ” ... ”

He still wanted to put up a fight, ” ... I don’t have a pistol. I drove you guys out to have fun, so why would I bring a pistol?”

“Your partner has been shot. If you don’t want us to die together, you’d better give me a gun right now.” Huo Shaoheng said bluntly.

Vladimir glared at the middle-aged driver next to him. Reluctantly, he took out a gun, then threw it towards the back seat and into Huo Shaoheng’s hand. He said stubbornly, “Don’t tell me you don’t have a gun with you!”

Huo Shaoheng smiled. “It’s in my suitcase. I need to assemble it, so I don’t have it with me.”

With that, he pressed Gu Nianzhi down with one hand and made her lie on the car seat without being able to move. He quietly got up, raised his gun, and aimed it at the bullet hole in the car window. He narrowed his eyes and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

He fired all twelve bullets from his pistol in one go.

His marksmanship was indeed amazing.

In the blink of an eye, there was no more movement in the Birch forest by the side of the road.

The bullets that had been shooting out a moment ago suddenly disappeared.

Vladimir took advantage of this moment to step on the accelerator and drive the jeep as fast as a race car.

They drove for the entire day in one go. The car was almost out of gas, so they slowed down and started to look for a gas station.

Huo Shaoheng finally let go.

Gu Nianzhi was pinned to the seat by him, and her arm was almost broken.

Later, the jeep drove like crazy. The bumpy ride felt like a cradle, and she fell asleep without realizing it.

When she woke up, it was dusk. The cold air poured in through the broken window, and Gu Nianzhi shivered.

She looked down and saw that Huo Shaoheng was still wearing his jacket.

She looked up and saw that Huo Shaoheng was only wearing a black tailored shirt. His close-fitting shirt made his body look chiseled and well-defined.

He was looking out the car window vigilantly.

“... Are you alright?” Gu Nianzhi asked as she struggled to sit up.

The driver was still Vladimir.

Gu Nianzhi remembered that the driver was shot in the morning. She quickly asked, “Where’s Uncle Ivan?”

Ivan was the driver’s name.

“Here, he’s still here.” Vladimir pouted at the seat next to him.

Gu Nianzhi poked her head forward and saw the driver lying motionless against the seat. There was a visible hole in the back of his clothing. It must have been a bullet hole. She was stunned, and she asked anxiously, “He was shot, wasn’t he? He was shot, wasn’t he? Why didn’t he go to the hospital? How long has it been?! ”

He wasn’t dead, was he?!

Vladimir and Huo Shaoheng didn’t make a sound.

The middle-aged driver was still lying on the ground motionlessly.

Gu Nianzhi’s tears were about to fall. She said to Vladimir, “What are you waiting for? Where’s the hospital here? We have to send him there right away! ”

Vladimir snickered, then punched the middle-aged driver who was lying next to him and pretending to be dead. “That’s enough, get up! ”

The middle-aged driver roared with laughter. He sat up straight and turned around proudly. “Cereus, I’m fine!”

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened. “But you were shot!”

The middle-aged driver pulled his clothes to the sides and revealed the bulletproof vest inside. “Look, with this baby, those bullets won’t work on me!”

“Stop bragging, ” Huo Shaoheng said calmly. “The other person used armor-piercing bullets. If it wasn’t for the bulletproof glass blocking the way, it wouldn’t have been a problem for them to pierce through your bulletproof vest.”

Vladimir was still smiling at first, but his smile faded and he said gloomily, “They actually dared to attack us. Whoever did it is digging his own grave!”

When there was no need to hide their identities, they would use public license plates. They were all KGB, and everyone in Russia knew that.

If they drove such a car, it meant that they were from the KGB.

How dare they provoke them?!

The driver was also very angry and roared, “They shot me! I’m injured! ”

He then nagged at Vladimir, ” ... I was injured on the job, right? You’ll have to reimburse me for my medical expenses when we get back. Also, I’m going to the hospital for treatment, and I’m going to a scenic area to recuperate from my injuries. You will have to subsidize this therapeutic retreat. Since I got injured on the job, my salary, including my bonus, will have to remain the same while I recuperate.”

Gu Nianzhi: ” ... ”

Where was the injury?

Was it the brain?

Vladimir caught a glimpse of Gu Nianzhi’s stunned expression from the corner of his eye. It was very embarrassing, but he couldn’t refute the driver’s words. He could only say impatiently, “We’ll talk about it when we get back.”

After a while, he asked again, “Are you okay?”

He was still very worried about the driver.

Although he had a bulletproof vest, just as Huo Shaoheng had said, the other person had used armor-piercing bullets. What if he was injured?

The driver rubbed his shoulder and grimaced. “The bulletproof vest didn’t penetrate, but the force of penetration was too strong. I think my bones may have been fractured.”

Vladimir: ” ... ”

Huo Shaoheng said calmly, “It’s very likely that his bones were injured. Vladimir, why don’t we bring him here to find a hospital to have a checkup?”

Vladimir snapped back to reality and spat at the driver, “You’re just trying to cheat a paid vacation out of us!”

The driver chuckled, ” ... I’m injured anyway. ”

The two of them joked with each other and continued on their journey. They still couldn’t find a place to refuel before the sky turned dark.

They had been on the road for two days and one night, and had already entered Siberia.

The temperature had dropped considerably at night. The car window had been broken, so it didn’t keep out the cold at all. The air conditioner couldn’t be used anymore either.

The key was that there wasn’t much gas left. Before they found a gas station, even if the air conditioner wasn’t broken, it couldn’t be used.

“Why don’t we find a place and rest here for the night? ” Vladimir was at a loss. He took out his cell phone and began to search for nearby gas stations.

However, this place was too remote, and the cellphone reception wasn’t good. Vladimir couldn’t find anything.

Upon seeing this, Gu Nianzhi took out her phone and started to search.

The Nandou satellite communication system was too powerful. Gu Nianzhi’s phone had no problem connecting to the Internet and making calls.

She searched around and found a gas station two miles away.

“This way. We’ll be able to fill up after another two miles.” Gu Nianzhi showed Vladimir the route.

Vladimir breathed a sigh of relief and quickly drove over to the gas station.

It was already completely dark, and there was a half moon hanging in the sky above Siberia.

In the open field, the wind blew against the Birch trees.

The brightly lit gas station ahead was very eye-catching in the dark night. The tall 7-eleven sign was waiting for them to approach.

Gu Nianzhi shrunk her neck and mumbled, “It’s so cold.”

“I’ll get your coat when we fill up the gas later.” Huo Shaoheng pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the cheek as he used his warm body to warm her up.

The driver and Vladimir were caught off guard by the sudden PDA out of the blue.

The two of them wrinkled their noses and pushed open the door to get out of the car.

One of them went to refuel, while the other stood guard.

Their suitcases were piled up in the back of the jeep. Huo Shaoheng stretched his arm into the trunk and took out the Burberry military coat he had bought for Gu Nianzhi. He also brought over the leather boots to help her change into it.

Gu Nianzhi put on the coat with the wool lining and instantly felt her body warm up.

She rubbed her hands together and smiled. “It would be perfect if there was a cup of hot chocolate as well.”

Huo Shaoheng also wanted to get out of the car to take a look at their surroundings. He nodded. “Wait here, and I’ll go get it.”

There were also convenience stores at gas stations that sold some food, drinks, and tobacco.

Huo Shaoheng got out of the car and walked under the moonlight to the brightly lit convenience store. However, just as he was about to reach the door, he stopped dead in his tracks.

Outside the door, he saw some few figures flash by under the moonlight.

He could see clearly that one of them was carrying a gun on his back. Judging by its shape, it was probably a semi-automatic sub-machine gun.
