Chapter 143 – Life monitoring

"Don't worry about the situation, just run first. If a rocket is fired in a confined space, it's basically a death sentence.

As for Ronnie, he can't be killed now. If Ronnie is the one causing trouble, having him around is like a talisman.

"Go! Go through the back door!"

In American houses, as long as they are single-family homes, not exactly villas but still quite large, they generally have a back door. Even though there is no lawn behind Gillson's house, there is still a back door. Gao Guang and Ronnie received John's reminder and almost simultaneously rushed towards the relatively narrow back door.

"Was it you?" Ronnie also looked shocked. He seemed to think it was Gao Guang, but after realizing that it didn't seem like something Gao Guang would do, he started to panic.

"It's Ryan! It must be Ryan." He spoke urgently and moved quickly. Ronnie pulled open the back door, but instead of rushing out, he hid behind the door and looked outside.

At that moment, gunshots suddenly rang outside the door.

"They're shooting at Ronnie's car! Directly shooting, directly silencing. Run!"

It was John who said this. His car was parked further away, not directly in front of Gillson's house. The advantage of this was that if someone came to cause trouble, they wouldn't consider him as the primary target.

But Ronnie's driver was unlucky. Those unidentified people didn't ask any questions or leave anyone alive. They just started shooting.

The gunshots were very intense and frequent.

However, at this moment, Ronnie didn't dare to rush out from the back door because, based on his experience, someone would definitely be blocking the back door. So he hoped that Gao Guang would go out first. But Gao Guang didn't go out because he knew that if they really intended to take action, they wouldn't leave the back door for others to escape.

Ronnie didn't move, but there was a large gap beside him. If Gao Guang wanted to go out from beside him, it wouldn't hinder him at all. But Ronnie's action also reminded Gao Guang. Even if Gao Guang said to Ronnie, "There might be an ambush at the back door, be careful," Gao Guang might not have the heart to harm Ronnie.

Thinking and doing, Gao Guang wanted to get rid of Ronnie to eliminate future troubles, but when it came down to it, he couldn't bring himself to do it. But now, Gao Guang had no qualms.

"Go, I'll cover you!" Gao Guang pulled out his pistol and suddenly pushed Ronnie from behind, but Ronnie dodged lightly, evading Gao Guang's force.

Although it seems like a long time, it was actually just a short moment. The gunshots outside hadn't stopped yet, and Gao Guang and Ronnie played another trick.

At that moment, John shouted again.

"Run! Break through forcefully... I'll cover you!" John was shooting while speaking, and then he shouted loudly, "I destroyed the rocket launcher. What are you waiting for?"

There was no need to be polite at this point, no need to beat around the bush. Just turn hostile directly.

Gao Guang aimed his gun at Ronnie and said sternly, "Get out!" If Ronnie didn't leave, Gao Guang would shoot directly. He didn't have time to waste.

Suddenly, Ronnie pulled his clothes forcefully, unbuttoning his suit jacket to reveal the vest he was wearing. He said loudly, "Come on! Shoot! If I die, you die too!"

Ronnie was wearing a thin vest, but it was made of explosive material. It didn't require multiple tubes of explosives tied in parallel in front of the chest like in the movies to have enough power. The power of explosives like C4 or Semtex was much greater, and only a small amount was needed to blow two people to pieces.

Judging from Ronnie's appearance, he had C4 on him. It was easy to shape, and based on the amount of explosives, there was at least a pound covering his entire torso. The power of this explosive was enough to send everyone in the house to heaven. Gao Guang aimed his gun at Ronnie's head, and Ronnie's explosive vest was on him, but would Gao Guang dare to shoot? The answer was no, because Ronnie wasn't stupid. He used a life monitoring detonator.

Explosives that detonate upon contact only exist in movies. Real military explosives have high safety measures. For example, C4 cannot be detonated by shooting directly or by burning. Only a specialized detonator can set off C4.

So Ronnie had a small disc hanging on his chest, displaying his heartbeat, breathing, and pulse. Modern electronic technology was so advanced that it only required a few small sensors placed in key positions. Once it detected the loss of vital signs, it would immediately detonate. This kind of explosive was truly the best way to take others down with you.

Gao Guang, who had received training, understood what he needed to know. He just glanced at it and immediately said, "Let's charge!"

In just two sentences, a few more seconds passed. There was no time to waste. Mike was the first to rush out of the door, and the sound of gunshots and bullets hitting bulletproof vests almost rang out simultaneously. Mike was hit, he stopped, quickly retreated, and then collided with Gao Guang, who was coming towards him.

Mike intentionally knocked Gao Guang down because at the moment he knocked Gao Guang to the ground, a series of bullets shot from their standing position. The glass instantly showed a series of bullet holes before shattering, and the wooden wall couldn't stop the bullets. A series of bullets pierced through the wall, creating a mess inside the house. There was indeed an ambush at the back door.

"Within a hundred meters!"

Distance is calculated like this: the speed of sound in the air is 340 meters per second, and the speed of bullets generally ranges from 800 to 900 meters per second. Even though bullets differ, they are generally within this range.As soon as Mike stepped out, he was shot. The sound of the bullet hitting the bulletproof plate and the gunshot were almost simultaneous, but there was still a slight difference. This was because the bullet was faster than the speed of sound, so the bullet arrived first, and then the gunshot could be heard.

Without seeing the flash, there was no way to judge the distance based on the difference between seeing the flash and hearing the sound. But since both sounds rang out almost simultaneously with little difference, it was clear that the enemy was definitely within a hundred meters. It couldn't be more precise, but the enemy was definitely close. Gao Guang quickly shouted, then he looked at Ronnie because he was afraid Ronnie had been shot and killed, and the fake bullet had exploded, blowing them up into the sky. Now Ronnie not only couldn't be killed, but he also had to protect him and make sure he didn't die.

Ronnie crouched behind the corner of the door, he wasn't shot, and now he was crawling quickly towards the kitchen, away from the back door.

"We're surrounded!" Ronnie was no longer afraid at this moment, but rather fierce. As he crawled away from the back door, he sternly asked, "Tell me what's happening!"

Gao Guang didn't have time to deal with Ronnie, he urgently said, "We're surrounded, we can't go out the back door. Caps, call for backup, get someone to support us!"

"Understood!" John's voice was very urgent, and he cursed, "The enemy is about to enter, I can only try my best to prevent them from firing rockets. Fuck! This is Los Angeles, how can this happen!"

Yeah, this is Los Angeles, not Tijuana, let alone Baghdad. How did rocket launchers suddenly appear?

But no matter what, they had to save their lives first.

"How many people at the front door?"

"Twenty, more than twenty! Fuck!" John cursed again, and he urgently said, "I can't hold on anymore, don't run from the back door, attack from both sides! Hurry!"

Since the back door was blocked and they didn't know the enemy's position, it was better to charge from the front door. Although there was only John alone, he would distract the enemy's attention, making it easier for them to succeed by charging from behind.

"Turn off the lights! Charge from the front door!" Mike and Francisco also had walkie-talkies, and they heard John's words clearly. After confirming that they would leave from the front door, Francisco immediately rushed towards the door.

The lights were still on in the house, providing convenience for the enemy. Francisco reached into his waist bag and pulled out night vision goggles, shooting and extinguishing the chandelier in the living room. While putting on the night vision goggles, he bent down and ran towards the door.

Mike had already gotten up from Gao Guang's body, he whispered, "Boss, I think I've been shot."

"I know you've been shot, it's okay!" With a bulletproof vest and no headshot, what's there to be afraid of? Gao Guang quickly crawled forward a few steps and whispered, "Give me the night vision goggles."

It was already dark inside the house, but Mike didn't catch up. Gao Guang reached out and waved his hand in the air, then he turned around in surprise and said, "Give me the night vision goggles!"

In the darkness, Gao Guang felt a hand, and he followed the hand forward and grabbed the night vision goggles, but he felt that his hand was slippery.

His body froze, Gao Guang put on the night vision goggles, and then he put his hand in front of the lens, and then he saw the blood on his hand.

Gao Guang turned around in surprise, only to see Mike with one hand propped on the ground and the other hand reaching forward, still in the posture of handing him the night vision goggles, but he had already fallen to the ground.

Mike tried to prop himself up with both hands again, he raised his head, and his black face was full of pain as he said, "I've been shot."

Francisco whispered, "Charge out first! Boss! Charge out first!"

Gao Guang suddenly became very scared. His left thumb and index finger subconsciously pinched, feeling the slippery sensation on his fingers. He suddenly felt cold all over, and then it seemed hot.

"Mike! Hold on!"

Gao Guang panicked, his bulletproof plate had been pierced, how could Mike hold on?

"Hurry!" Francisco hadn't opened the door yet, he had to wait for Gao Guang to charge out together to achieve the greatest surprise.

"Open the door, but don't go out, suppress the enemy with gunfire first!"

Gao Guang quickly said, then he suddenly said, "Open the door!"

Francisco pulled open the door. Gunshots rang out fiercely, the enemy was already prepared to attack the door. In the instant the door opened, Gao Guang saw four people already at the door. Although John had restrained the enemy, he couldn't restrain everyone.

This kind of battle couldn't last long, either live or die. It was all about that moment when they met. Gao Guang didn't even see the people clearly, but he quickly fired four shots, from left to right, starting with the person carrying a rocket launcher, and ending with the person on the far right holding a rifle. Four shots were fired by four people, except for the person carrying the rocket launcher, who was the farthest away, the other three exposed enemies all fell down.

Sweeping from left to right, then swiftly swinging the pistol from right to left, with an abrupt stop, in the instant the arm froze, Gao Guang fired the fifth shot.

The person carrying the rocket launcher fell forward, the rocket was launched, a flash of fire, a rocket flew towards the ground, but the angle was too small. The rocket bounced off the ground, flying past Gao Guang's side without him even having time to be afraid, grazing the wall of the house and flying out.

After firing this shot, Gao Guang leaped to the side, so he didn't see that the rocket had been launched, of course, he couldn't see the trajectory of the rocket.

Then, a series of bullets instantly shredded the door, and someone shouted, "Grenade! Throw a grenade!"
