All four vehicles were completely wrecked, and over half of the special police were killed or injured. Although some managed to jump out in time and tried to return fire upwards, they were immediately riddled with bullets in their fury.

Ling Zhenfei was in the first vehicle and avoided the bullets instantly, but the special police beside him were not so lucky, all struck by bullets and lying motionless in a pool of blood, their fate unknown.

As for Kun Ze Haosan, the drug lord with a little beard on the middle of his upper lip, although he was unharmed, he was extremely disheveled, cowering in a corner, continually cursing, "Idiot! Idiot!"

Although Ling Zhenfei did not understand Japanese, he could tell from this guy's simple and rapid pronunciation that this little devil was also very angry about his companion's bungled rescue operation.

After all, the helicopter hovering above was firing so indiscriminately and densely. Although it could cause extensive damage, weren't they afraid of accidentally injuring Kun Ze Haosan?

Although Ling Zhenfei's cultivation was high enough to avoid bullet attacks, the gunfire from the aerial machine gun was too dense; he did not dare to test whether his movement technique was faster than three thousand bullets a minute, so he stayed inside the vehicle for the time being.

"Hey, Han Lian, are you guys alright? Are you alright?"

Fortunately, after a barrage, the helicopter flew away. Ling Zhenfei turned on the walkie-talkie, trying to make contact with the people in the other vehicles.

After a few seconds of pause, there was a response from the three vehicles behind.

"Ling Zhenfei, over half of us are casualties, but Chi Hu is still alive!"

"Report, the second car's fuel tank was hit; our losses are severe!"

"Report, two lightly injured and two dead in the third car!"

...

Upon receiving such dire casualty reports, Ling Zhenfei immediately became filled with righteous indignation.

He simply could not understand how Tan Shaojie, the bandit, could launch such an attack under the heavily guarded Binyang police force?

What baffled him even more was that they had even deployed a helicopter and a powerful Gatling rapid-fire machine gun!

"Han Lian, everyone, hurry and leave this place. Although the helicopter has left, I expect they will mount a more fierce attack soon; we must prepare early!"

Now, although it was quiet outside, everyone knew this was definitely not a good sign!

"Let's go!"

Ling Zhenfei grabbed Kun Ze Haosan by the collar and dragged him out of the vehicle like an eagle capturing a chick.

By then, Han Lian and the surviving special police officers had also come out with their guns. Everyone did a headcount, including Kun Ze Haosan and Chi Hu, there were a total of eighteen people.

Now, only eight remained, among them two with minor injuries and one seriously injured.

"Everyone, be careful. The terrain here is complex, with high mountains on both sides, suitable for ambushing!"

Ling Zhenfei treated the wounds of the three injured officers and looked to both sides of the highway, his brow furrowing tightly.

The terrain in this area was indeed peculiar, with high mountains on one side and a jungle on the other. At the lower end of the freeway, there was even an abandoned rural dirt road winding forward, its destination unknown.

"Zhenfei, I've already sent a distress signal to headquarters. We are right in the center between Binyang and the Provincial City. Whether it's one side or the other, the fastest any police force can come to our rescue is in half an hour!"

Han Lian, watching over Chi Hu, walked up to Ling Zhenfei looking very worried.

Now that their vehicles were all destroyed, it was almost impossible to quickly leave this dangerous spot.

As for the half-hour rescue time... they knew that such vicious criminals would definitely not leave them any!

What to do?

Waiting for rescue was no better than rescuing themselves!

Ling Zhenfei was very clear about this. Just as he was getting everyone ready to face a new round of attacks from the bandits, he suddenly heard a rumble of machinery coming from the winding path.

Whir! Whir! Whir!

This time, the sound was clearly that of car engines. Everyone looked in shock and saw seven or eight four-wheel drive motorcycles speeding towards them like several crazed, starving wolves.

Each vehicle carried two people: one driving and the other holding a submachine gun, firing bursts at the group.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Seeing the situation, Ling Zhenfei felt a great alarm. He took Kun Ze Haosan and hid behind their car, returning fire.

Han Lian also took Chi Hu and hid behind another car.

A fierce gun battle crazily unfolded, and the police were already at a numerical disadvantage to their opponents, with limited firepower as well. Despite eliminating many of the attackers, all the special forces were killed, except for Ling Zhenfei and Han Lian.

Ling Zhenfei and Han Lian, each escorting a prisoner and two cars apart, found it not so easy to retreat under such intense firepower.

The bandits' firepower was fierce, with assassins not only sitting on those off-road vehicles but also many ambushed in the shrubbery.

Just as a helicopter had been circling in the sky for a while, it suddenly came back and landed directly beside the road.

"Hahaha..."

Two people jumped from the helicopter, one of them a young man with a cold face scanning the area where Ling Zhenfei was hiding. Seeing no movement, he immediately let out a string of arrogant laughter.

"Ling Zhenfei, I heard you are very formidable. Chi Hu was captured by you in a single move? Why so timid now? Have the guts to come out and face Mr. Tan for a round or two! How about it?"

The speaker was none other than Tan Shaojie. At this moment, seeing his plan nearly complete, he was somewhat overly triumphant, his tone filled with contempt and provocation.

"Zhenfei, don't go!"

On this side, before Ling Zhenfei could respond, Han Lian was already making eye signs from a distance, signaling him not to fall for the opponent's trick.

After all, they were outnumbered and, though Han Lian knew Ling Zhenfei was extraordinarily skilled, the opponent was too strong and heavily armed. Even with high martial arts skills, it was feared Ling Zhenfei couldn't win under such tight fire coverage.

Now, holding two hostages, presumably the other side would also hesitate to act recklessly. If they could just stall them for half an hour, they could wait for reinforcements.

Ling Zhenfei was no fool. How could he not see through Tan Shaojie's provocation?

He exchanged a look with Han Lian and, with a cold laugh, shouted towards Tan Shaojie, "Tan Shaojie, are you an idiot? In this situation, if I come over to fight you, I probably wouldn't even make it there before your dozen submachine guns turn me into a hornet's nest, right? Haha, I'm not falling for your tricks!"

"You..."

Being a proud man, Tan Shaojie had hoped to provoke Ling Zhenfei into fighting him but had not anticipated not only failing to do so but also being thoroughly scolded by Ling Zhenfei, which almost made his nose go askew.

"Mr. Tan..."
