Chapter 431 - 419 Perfect
Xiao Ran had already killed the person launching the rocket-propelled grenade when she screamed, but the RPG nevertheless had been launched.
Yang Yi didn’t see the rocket, but soon there was an explosion far to his right. However, the first RPG explosion was just the prelude, and shortly after, another explosion occurred to the front-left of Yang Yi.
If the enemy was firing the rocket from inside a building, it was unlikely that Xiao Ran could kill the shooter in time to stop the launch of the RPG.
Lachie’s vehicle was not hit, and it continued toward Jethro, but at that moment, Brian bellowed, "RPG!"
The RPG flew much slower than bullets, but its speed was still too fast for the human eye, and Yang Yi had no idea where the rocket would strike – this feeling of being at the mercy of fate was truly awful.
With a bang, the vehicle Lachie was driving towards Jethro finally exploded, the RPG hitting just above the engine compartment with deadly accuracy. Whether it was a fragmentation grenade or an armor-piercing shell, the people in the car were doomed.
The car burst into flames and, driven by its momentum, continued sliding forward for a stretch, not coming to a stop until it had traveled dozens of meters.
The burning car was less than thirty meters away from Jethro, but Jethro could no longer count on those inside the car to rescue him.
Yang Yi considered whether it was worth the risk to try and save Jethro.
Mercenaries fought for money – if it meant certain death, they would not undertake the mission.
Thus, the wise choice for Yang Yi at the moment would be to shoot Jethro and then retreat. Blocked by the surroundings and suppressed by Trident’s firepower, the enemy was unlikely to hit Jethro easily. On the other hand, killing Jethro would be an easy shot for Yang Yi and his group.
