Ultimate Firepower

"If you sense danger, don’t hesitate, run."

"If you feel targeted, don’t hesitate, go prone."

Two phrases flashed through Gao Yi’s mind at the same time, similar in meaning but slightly different due to the identities of the speakers.

The former was taught by Chen Guangxin, the latter by Lin Xianghua; assassins and mercenaries did differ, with the biggest distinction being that when a mercenary was targeted, they were more likely to face a burst of bullets or even a shell rather than a single bullet.

Running forward was Saibu, with his people on both sides. Whether Gao Yi ran forward or to the side, it could lead to misapprehension by Saibu’s people and create greater danger.

Moreover, if targeted, going prone was definitely the optimal solution—get down first to avoid any misunderstanding with Saibu and his guards.

All these thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant; Gao Yi’s knees buckled, his body curled, and he dove prostrate in a full-body sprawl in front of Saibu.

Setting aside any embarrassment, survival was crucial. Even if it was a false alarm, it was better to drop first.

Gao Yi’s unusual action made Saibu widen his eyes in astonishment, while numerous surrounding guards instinctively aimed their guns at Gao Yi.

Then, Saibu suddenly realized something. Just as Gao Yi had barely managed to get prone, even before he could say anything, Saibu made the same choice between retreating and going prone.
