Chapter 57: Enemy Ambush

"Take care of it. This is like my baby, "Jeremy sobbed, wiping his tears while giving an emotional look to the jeep that had been in his embrace for almost two decades.

"Your baby is in safe hands. By giving it to me you won't have anything to complain about," Leon smiled, patting the vehicle.

For some reason, Jeremy found the smile extremely conceited as if Leon was saying you won't see this thing again.

At dawn, Leon took a jeep and started his journey. The sun was over the head but the thick leaves and willows of trees blocked the sunshine.

Yesterday, Leon had gone over all the routes that had been crafted and was surprised by the intricate pathways connecting one another.

Leon, driving to Zone C, yawned in boredom. However, just as he passed through sector B3 fun came looking for him.

BANG!BANG!BANG!

The crisp sound of firing resonated around.

Leon smiled hearing the roaring sound of off-road jeeps that were approaching him. Leon clicked on the automatic drive mode of the advanced vehicle. The auto drive mode of current generation vehicles was quite good and linked to GPS and network, they can even cross through another vehicle.

Though the network was quite poor here, as long as the road was straight it wouldn't be a problem. It also has a voice assistant but with lots of noise around, he didn't want to take the risk and crash somewhere due to the voice assistant mistake.

He put his left hand on the steering well and quickly stuck his heavy rifle barrel out of the window and shot.

It wasn't a feat a normal person could achieve but his arms were strong enough to handle the recoil.

A fire flash blasted from the barrel leaving behind a trail of smoke, and an exploding bullet struck the side of the enemy Jeep that went past him from the other road a few meters away.

BOOM!

The back part of the jeep rose and flung aside for a few meters covered by flames that started to subside.

Leon fired a few more around causing a chain of explosions just to trouble up things. Then he pulled out a lighter version of sniper and fired a few shots but the lower penetrating sniper bullet was unable to crack through the bulletproof windows of the jeep.

"Everyone surround him, "Foxy ordered, and her team turned around to follow the vehicle.

Leon saw an array of jeeps chasing after him.

"Ye Huo, he is coming towards you, be prepared."

"Roger that. Just shoot enough to make him uneasy. Don't do it heavily lest he change his tracks."

Leon with one hand steering wheel and the other one spewing bullets, naturally noticed their restrained shooting.

"Position of assassin or place where there is an ambush waiting for me."

Leon asked the system.

[Host, it would...]

"Do it," Leon said, cutting the system in the middle.

2 luck points were deducted and his sight changed. His pupil widened and his eyesight covered more than a human could see magnifying the distance. He saw the convergence of the road ahead on which an enemy jeep was charging from the other road.

On top of that stood a man holding a sniper. He was Ye Hou, an early Martial Grandmaster.

Leon raised his surveillance and ignoring the ones shooting at the back, slowed down the jeep's speed by pulling down the gear, raised his sniper, changed the cartridge, and placing his weapon out of the window, pressed the trigger.

Ye Hou, on the other side aiming at Leon's head from the gap of the opened window, fired at the same time.

BANG!

BANG!

TANG!

Much to Ye Hou's horror, the bullet hitting Leon's head protected by a helmet bounced off while Leon's shot hit the tire and punctured it

Ye Hou's eyes widened and he jumped off the jeep that lost its balance and hit the tree at the side.

Ye Hou bounced off on the ground and rolled a few meters.

"Just what the fuck is this guy's helmet made of?"Ye Hou cursed aloud on getting up and asked Foxy to send a vehicle to take him up.

The helmet Leon wore was made of titanium along with polyethylene aramid acting as a shock absorber but it certainly wasn't enough.

Leon Puedo's Draconic body was enough to resist most of the firearms unless it was a piercing machine gun or a sniper that could shoot near the speed of sound.

And this wasn't a guess rather it was trial and test by the mad lad who shot himself in the head with most of his firearms.

Leon then shifted the gear and stomped the acceleration to take charge due to the turning. The car drifted, blowing out a cloud of dust before it changed direction.

On the other side, a Jeep that had been hiding low emerged and it was Ye Tian holding a fucking rocket launched.

Leon's face slightly changed and he immediately turned the wheel to make an abrupt turn as the face of the launcher was directly at him.

Leon's car drifted in the circle as the rocket head passed by the car's edge and struck somewhere creating a loud shock wave.

"He fucking dodged it, "Ye Hou who witnessed the scene shouted and asked Ron to take charge.

Leon drove like a madman taking repeated twists and turns. On his way, he threw his sword into a tree carrying the power of the Dragon Claw that slew it, making it fall on the road blocking the ones at back.

However, this wasn't enough to let off the chase as most paths were connected to one another.

The battle caused many explosions on the roads as countless bullets and rockets were flying around.

Leon's jeep was already in shambles and on its last leg. He was chased from all around finding it hard to navigate and shoot so he only focused on driving.

RRRRRRRRRR!

A fierce engine sound thundered on the battlefield like a tiger roaring in rage.

Leon's eyes widened seeing a huge battle jeep blocking the road. It had thick armor, bulked up with spines like a hedgehog.

Different kinds of large-caliber grenade launchers stuck out and behind it stood a menacing machine gun.

Leon analyzed the situation looking around but to his horror, the path beside was narrowly blocked by trees. The gap wasn't enough for him to take turns.

It was a dead end. He pressed the brake and decided to reverse but Ye Tian pressing forward hit the rear end blasting away the back door.

"Push him forward and Ron shoot him, "Ye Tian roared.

"But you might have caught up..." Ron swallowed his saliva

"Just shoot, damn it."

Ron immediately started emptying everything in the arsenal.

However before Ron aimed, Leon whipped his hands out of the window and threw a flash grenade in the air that burst with a bright light illuminating the area.

Leaving a trail, an array of grenades was launched but its aim was slightly off, and it struck the side path exploding into flames.

Leon took this chance and with a slight grin, he pressed the accelerator and charged straight at the armed Jeep that baffled everyone.

Before it struck, Leon threw another flashbang, jumped out of the jeep and pulled out a bike from the storage ring, pressed the start button, and trailed through gaps in the tree ignited by flames.[1]

Leon's ex-jeep crashed against the front and then exploded, spraying flames and dust on it. However, the armored vehicle was still good to go.

"Crap, pursue that damned guy. Follow this path, we will meet him eventually.

Ye Tian shouted, infuriated by failure. However, as he assessed the situation, he found that there was nothing to worry about. Once they caught up, there would be no escape for him now as he was using a motorcycle with his body out in danger.

The Jeeps turned around and started charging through the road at a great speed. They used a telescope and saw the guy slowing down.

Elated by this, all of them prepared themselves to launch the assault but all of a sudden, the tires were punctured and the driver lost control of the vehicle and the jeeps started swaying.

Ye Tian found that the communication device suddenly went off and started malfunctioning.

They got out of the vehicle and saw the road littered with sharp spikes that punctured the tires.

Foxy who was at the back felt an ill omen and as she narrowed his eyes at Leon who was sitting on his bike, and aimed his sniper, she abruptly realized the gravity of the situation concluding the previous incident.

With all her senses screaming for danger, she shouted"Take Cover,"
