Chapter 917: Escape |
Yin En, who was standing beside with a now-exploded hairstyle, nodded and said, "Brother Hiro, your Shimazu Family is indeed the leader of the Warrior Faction. This escape route is no different from a death route..."
Shima Mitsuhiro rubbed his somewhat dry eyes and said helplessly, "I didn't know this escape route would be designed so wildly. There's no seat belt on this mine cart, no handbrake, but that 360-degree loop, I really didn't understand... But speaking of which, our speed just now should have been maintained at around 100 kilometers per hour, so theoretically, we shouldn't have been thrown out due to inertia."
"But it was terrifying. I thought I was done for several times. If there's a next time, I'd rather walk than take that roller coaster." Zhang Wenbing said with lingering fear, "Old people can't handle such scares."
Shima Mitsuhiro shook his head, took out his mobile phone, and pressed it, "No more, because this escape route is a one-time thing."
Just as Shima Mitsuhiro finished speaking, a low explosion sound came from behind, "Let's go, we must leave this abandoned mine quickly because near the small dark room, this is the only place that seems like it could hide people. So if Shima Takeshi realizes it, he should send his men here to catch us."
As he spoke, Shima Mitsuhiro led Yin En and the others forward quickly.
Before long, a light appeared in front of Yin En and the others.
After leaving the mine, Shima Mitsuhiro pulled out a jeep wrapped in oil paper from a pile of grass beside them.
"I suspect if we go back to the mine and dig a bit, we might find a German engineer." Yin En couldn't help but joke.
"I've already arranged for a friend to have a boat waiting for us at the coast. Once we're on the boat, we won't have to worry about Shima Takeshi catching us," Shima Mitsuhiro said confidently, "because my friend is a Deep One Hybrid and also their tribe's representative in human society, managing over a hundred Deep Ones, so Shima Takeshi's men are definitely not enough."
Just as Shima Mitsuhiro finished speaking, gunshots rang out from behind.
Yin En looked back to see several off-road vehicles following closely, with people constantly popping out to aim various firearms at their jeep and firing.
"Ding ding ding."
Bullets kept hitting the jeep, but fortunately, it seemed to have undergone comprehensive bulletproof modifications, so Yin En and the others inside were unharmed.
"Haha, don't worry. This jeep was built by our Shimazu Family for over ten million dollars, using many alien materials our family has treasured for hundreds of years, so even anti-material sniper rifles like the Barrett can't penetrate the glass and tires," Shima Mitsuhiro said confidently.
But for some reason, Yin En and the others felt Shima Mitsuhiro had just set a terrible flag.
Not even a minute later, Yin En, who had been watching the rear, suddenly shouted, "F**k, Hiro, quickly turn the wheel, those bastards have brought out an RPG."
Upon hearing the word "RPG," Shima Mitsuhiro immediately turned the wheel sharply, driving off the coastal road and landing directly on the beach.
At the same time, an RPG hit the spot where the jeep had just been, blasting a large hole in the coastal road.
"F**k, these guys seem to mean business," Shima Mitsuhiro couldn't help but curse, "Although our jeep's bulletproof capability is excellent, it can't withstand the shockwave from an explosion, so if we're hit by an RPG, the jeep will most likely be overturned, and then we'll be caught."
"Another RPG is coming!"
Yin En reminded Shima Mitsuhiro again.
Shima Mitsuhiro began to swerve, constantly changing direction and occasionally slowing down, so the pursuers behind didn't fire another RPG for a while.
"It seems they only have this one RPG left; otherwise, they wouldn't be hesitating. But by constantly changing routes, we've let them get much closer, so if this continues, we'll be caught," Zhang Jingxu calmly analyzed, "Brother Hiro, just drive straight now. When I tell you, then turn, and we'll try to trick them into firing the RPG, so we won't have to worry about them anymore."
Shima Mitsuhiro nodded and immediately drove straight as Zhang Jingxu instructed.
As for the pursuers behind, they couldn't hold back anymore, so after passing a bend, they fired the RPG.
"Dodge!" Yin En and Zhang Jingxu said simultaneously.
Receiving the information, Shima Mitsuhiro immediately turned towards the sea, as turning towards the road could easily lead to crashing into large rocks.
The RPG missed again.
However, Yin En and the others in the jeep hadn't been happy for a few seconds before the jeep seemed to hit a rock submerged by seawater, causing it to tumble due to the high speed.
Although the jeep eventually righted itself, the off-road vehicles behind had already caught up and surrounded the jeep.
Shima Mitsuhiro still wanted to start the jeep to ram the off-road vehicles ahead, but the Black-Clad Men who got out of the vehicles didn't give him the chance, as they directly stuck over a dozen C4 explosives on the jeep.
Seeing this situation, Shima Mitsuhiro took his hands off the steering wheel and said helplessly, "No matter how good the bulletproof performance of this jeep is, it can't withstand so many C4 explosions, so we might as well surrender."
With that, Shima Mitsuhiro intended to open the car door to surrender.
But just then, a black sedan suddenly stopped on the coastal road beside them, and a young man in a suit got out of the car.
"Masahiko? How is it him?!"
Shima Mitsuhiro couldn't help but exclaim, "How is he here?!"
"Who is he? Shima Takeshi's brother?" asked Ding Kun, sitting in the front passenger seat.
Shima Mitsuhiro shook his head, staring at the young man, and said, "No, his name is Masahiko Shimazu, a cousin of mine. No, he shouldn't be called my cousin anymore because he was expelled from the family a few years ago for doing things that shamed our Shimazu Family. Moreover, before the incident, he stole several treasured items from the Shimazu Residence, including the ancestral sword, and then disappeared. I didn't expect he had joined Shima Takeshi's men, no wonder we couldn't find him."
Just as Shima Mitsuhiro finished speaking, Masahiko Shimazu came to the jeep, leaned casually on the hood, and said, "Long time no see, cousin. Interested in coming out for a chat?"
"Haha, you still have the face to call me cousin? You traitorous dog," Shima Mitsuhiro said without giving any face.
Masahiko Shimazu's face changed, and he slapped the hood, saying, "Shima Mitsuhiro, don't be ungrateful. I'm calling you cousin as a courtesy. You better understand your current situation."
At this moment, Zhang Wenbing, sitting in the back, chuckled and said, "It seems that even a prestigious Island Nation family like the Shimazu Family can't cultivate all its members into gentlemen."
Shima Mitsuhiro understood Zhang Wenbing's intention to provoke Masahiko Shimazu to buy time, waiting for Kitano Masakazu's support. Since Masahiko Shimazu still had the mood to chat with them instead of ordering the jeep to be blown up, it indicated that Shima Takeshi's order was to take them back alive.
Thus, Shima Mitsuhiro sighed, shook his head, and said, "Yes, even if my peers are not capable, they have mastered personal qualities, but I didn't expect such a disgraceful person to appear, really a rat droppings spoiling the pot of porridge."
Outside the jeep, Masahiko Shimazu listened to Shima Mitsuhiro and Zhang Wenbing's duet, immediately displeased, and kicked the jeep, sneering, "Shima Mitsuhiro, stop pretending. Do you think I don't know the bad things you've secretly done? You're just a petty thief!"
After Masahiko Shimazu finished, a Black-Clad Man handed him a remote control.
"You should know what I'm holding, right? As soon as I press this remote, you and this iron coffin will ascend together, so I advise you to get out quickly and follow me back to apologize to Shima Takeshi. Maybe you'll still have a chance to keep your life!" Masahiko Shimazu said viciously.
Shima Mitsuhiro was unfazed, even taking out a glasses cloth to clean his glasses, "Masahiko, Masahiko, I didn't expect that as a descendant of the Shimazu Family, you'd be willing to serve an outsider as a lackey. Fortunately, you've been expelled from the family, or if this got out, our Shimazu Family's reputation would plummet."
Masahiko Shimazu was so angered by Shima Mitsuhiro's words that he gnashed his teeth, but he was helpless.
Because right now, he really couldn't do anything to Shima Mitsuhiro.
Seeing this, Yin En and the others in the jeep were
However, Masahiko Shimazu quickly regained his composure and said coldly, "Shima Mitsuhiro, stop trying to sow discord. Since I've already been expelled from the Shimazu Family, what's wrong with following Shima Takeshi? At least when he becomes the head, he can restore my status, while you will bear the infamy of betraying the family and be utterly destroyed."
"Oh, really? You don't actually think Shima Takeshi considers you one of his own, do you? In his eyes, you're just a waste with some utility. Once this farce is over, Shima Takeshi will definitely discard you, and you'll be the first he deals with," Shima Mitsuhiro said with disdain.
But by this time, Masahiko Shimazu had calmed down and smiled, "Shima Mitsuhiro, stop stalling for time. The tow truck I arranged will be here in a few minutes, and then you'll have to obediently come back with us to Shimazu Residence. Of course, you can choose to drive away, in which case I can just trigger the C4 and blow you all sky-high."
After saying this, Masahiko Shimazu crossed his arms, looking as if to say, "Let's see what you can do."
Now it was Yin En and the others who started to panic.
"Brother Hiro, where's your friend now?" Yin En asked in a low voice.
Shima Mitsuhiro shook his head slightly, indicating he wasn't sure if his friend could make it in time.
The atmosphere inside the jeep instantly became tense.
As time ticked by, the sound of heavy vehicles moving began to echo from afar.
If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the tow truck arranged by Masahiko Shimazu.
Shima Mitsuhiro took a deep breath, pulled out a mini submachine gun and several magazines from under the seat, and said seriously, "There's a mini submachine gun and magazines under each of your seats. We have to take a gamble now."
Outside the jeep, Masahiko Shimazu saw Shima Mitsuhiro take out weapons and merely snorted. The surrounding Black-Clad Men all drew various weapons, aiming at Yin En and the others in the jeep.
But just then, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded from the seaside, and over ten green figures leaped out of the sea.
It was the Deep Ones!
The Black-Clad Men instinctively turned to shoot, but before they could fire many shots, each was taken down by a Deep One with a single swipe, including the once-arrogant Masahiko Shimazu.
The situation reversed in an instant.
However, Zhang Jingxu suddenly noticed a detail: before dying, Masahiko Shimazu looked at the jeep with a face full of surprise... or rather, he was looking at Shima Mitsuhiro.
Interesting.
"Get out of the car, my friend is here."
Shima Mitsuhiro said happily as he opened the car door, and Zhang Jingxu and the others followed him out.
At this moment, one of the Deep Ones reverted to human form and said to Shima Mitsuhiro, "I came just in time, didn't I?"
"Haha, do you think I don't know you were already at the seaside, just waiting for the right moment because you were afraid of getting hurt? If I hadn't purposely drawn the attention of these Black-Clad Men, you probably wouldn't have acted," Shima Mitsuhiro said with a laugh. "This is Kitano Masakazu, a good brother I met in college; Masaichi, these are the helpers I brought from the Sawada Family."
With Shima Mitsuhiro's introduction, Zhang Jingxu and the others got acquainted with Kitano Masakazu.
Just then, a speedboat arrived at the shore.
"Everyone, get on the boat. We need to leave here quickly because my scout ahead just reported that Shima Takeshi's second batch of men is on their way," Kitano Masakazu said seriously.
At this point, Zhang Jingxu pretended to squat down to tie his shoelaces and picked up something.
