The Urban Dao Child.

Chapter 286 - Showdown. (2)

Yang Dao sent Sushi ahead to look for the hyper humans. They were still standing at the edge of the surveillance zone. If the hyper humans found them out, then they might escape. Also, Yang Dao and the team all had weapons equipped. Rather than the fear of getting spotted they were afraid that the assailants may take hostages. 

Carole spoke up, "The headquarters is calling."

Yang Dao said, "Connect them." his tone was solemn. 

The girl followed his instruction and connected the headquarters of special forces to their own conference call. An old voice rang out of the earphones, "This is Luitenant General Atkins, I will be presiding over your movements. Before the operation begins, do you have any questions?" 

Yang Dao thought for a bit and asked, "Sir, this is Captain Yang Dao, may I ask, why are we not allowed to act on our own?" 

His question could have been seen as an offense but the old general had asked them if they had any questions so, this was the question. The old general was surprised, he did not expect the boy to raise such a question. The old man said, "That is because you guys are greenhorns. You have experience with one assignment. Do you think it is wise to let you all act on your own?" 

Yang Dao replied, "Sir, with all due respect, you are not in the field and if your instructions were unable to have the desired effect, that will be equal to the death of my whole team. I will happily sacrifice myself for the country but that will be my choice. However, I accept that you have the precious experience that we may need here. How about we ask you when we cannot deal with a situation?"

His words stunned the old general to mute. 

...

In the headquarter, Tiberius was sitting beside the old general Atkins. He was holding his mouth with his hand and his shoulders were shivering. Atkins was his peer, known for the iron hand measures to train the soldiers. This was the first time he had been shut down by a kid. Tiberius found it very funny. 

He saw that the old man was in contemplation and taking a deep breath he calmed himself down and pressed the 'mic on' button on the table. He said, "Dao, you can proceed. Tell us when you need help." 

Yang Dao recognized his voice and replied, "Affirmative, Dao out." 

Atkins glanced at Tiberius with furrowed brows. He was about to ask the old man something when the latter said, "Yang Dao is the cousin of that kid, Laohu Bai, and brother of Feng Yun. He is sixteen years and some months old. His strength is already level four Elementalist. If your decision let him suffer something as big as a scratch, what do you think will happen?" 

Atkins was shocked. He did not see the data on the three people completely just the page where their mission record was stated. However, after hearing this he was shocked. Tiberius said, "This kid has met old Abe, and made him breakthrough after so many years. What do you think about his talent?" 

Atkins gulped a mouthful of water at this. Then the two people turned their gaze to the big screen that displayed the satellite images of the three people. 

...

Yang Dao was aware that he was being watched, but he did not care. He told Tony and Carole about the team composition of the hyper humans. The two found it hard to believe and asked how should they deal with it. 

Yang Dao said, "Take out the eyes of the sentries, however, they will still be able to fight, so, after you take out the hyper vision, I will dive in." 

Carole said, "Copy that, but how will you dive in so quickly?" 

Yang Dao said, "Don't worry, just do it." then he asked Tony to rush over as soon as the sentries are taken out. 

Tony had no problem at all. His strength was enough to reach and defend. After the discussion, Sushi returned to Yang Dao and said, "Master, two men with weird eyes are standing back to back on the terrace of a building." 

Yang Dao nodded and suddenly jumped up, he bent the wind and levitated himself high in the sky. He said, "Carole, do you have the targets in your scope?" 

Carole was shocked to see him fly, she quickly moved her scope and found a vague shadow standing on the terrace. She said, "Only one." 

"They are back to back, aim for the head." said the boy in the sky. 

Carole nodded and said, "Okay." 

She turned the dial on the scope a few times and took a deep breath. She paused for a second and as she exhaled, she squizzed the trigger. 

The suppressor on the muzzle canceled out the sound of the shot and the bullet flew across the void. The one who was facing the bullet suddenly tilted his head, letting the bullet pass by the head of the one behind him. 

The hyper human behind him fell to the ground. Yang Dao said, "One hurt, the other is safe. I am acting." 

Then he dived down as he took out his bow from his back. The hyper human had already spoken the words, "Mission compromised. Move out." 

However, the next second, an azure ray flashed past his eye. The hyper human said, "Scouting equipment hit. Hyper Vision failed. Evacuate." 

Yang Dao stood behind him and sighed, "As suspected, not so easy to kill." Then he shot the arrow already waiting on his bow. This time the azure arrow did not cut, but under Yang Dao's will, it exploded as soon as it entered inside the hyper human's brain. 

A splash of white and red followed soon after the explosion. Sushi said, "Master, the other one is moving." 

Yang Dao turned around and the hyper human had already jumped on him. The boy did not have the time to knock the bow, so he just channeled the source energy inside his body and swung the bow from its end like a mace. 

The bow was made of unknown material and hit the hyper-human head hard. A  puff sound was produced followed by a  bang. The hyper-human flew and hit the boundary wall of the terrace, while his brain burst open after Yang Dao hit him with the bow. The boy sighed, "This is so unhygienic." 

Sushi chuckled, "Master, let me help you." with a wave of her hand the brain matter stuck to the bow end wiped away. 

Yang Dao said, "Carole, two down. What is the situation?" 

Carole said, "Ummm, three fled, Tony, is trying to block one. You should head over. His earth guard is about to break."

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Copy that." then he flew up into the sky.

She was shocked to see that Yang Dao took down two targets in just a few minutes. After reporting to him she spoke to the headquarters, "This is Carole, Captian Dao has taken down two hyper human sentries. He is now proceeding to the third target to help Lieutenant Tony. Three targets are on the loose."

  The time was close to midnight so the action did not catch much attention. But who knows if they can still maintain such a silent act.
