Chapter 199 A Bold Idea
Larry was chillin' under a rock on the cliff, totally hidden in a crevice, with just his head peeking out.
He had this straw hat made from plants on his head.
Staying quiet, you wouldn't even notice him if you walked right by.
Down below, flashlights were lighting up the place.
The army was combing the mountain.
Since his spot got blown, more folks were swarming the area. Now, there were like three thousand people down there.
Seeing all those lights, Larry smirked. He got up quietly, pulled out some explosives, and tucked them into a loose rock crevice. Then, he whipped out a sniper rifle and laid down on the rock.
The bullet flew out. One guy dropped dead instantly.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Panic spread like wildfire.
"Up ahead, on the cliff."
"Report to HQ, we’ve got Black Dragon. Need backup, need backup, in Zone C, Line 182."
As Larry showed himself, a ton of flashlights lit up below, all pointing at the cliff.
After firing, Larry grabbed his gun, leaped a few meters to grab a rock, and in no time, he was at the top of the cliff.
A helicopter showed up in the sky. Its machine gun started blasting the cliff area. But Larry was already outta there.
Soon after he left, thousands of people started climbing the mountain. But Larry had already set up explosives on the cliff.
The climbers triggered them. Instant explosion. The cliff collapsed, sending massive rocks crashing down. A bunch of people below got crushed to a bloody mess.
"Retreat, retreat, there are bombs!" The army pulled back fast.
In the command room, The commander in a black coat was fuming, "You’re all useless. A hundred thousand troops and you can’t catch one guy? Order the bombers to flatten this place."
"Commander, we can’t."
A soldier quickly chimed in, "If we use bombers, it’ll alert the Black Dragon Army. That’ll start a war, and no country can handle their retaliation."
"Yeah, we can’t."
"Commander, we’re already on it. Every area’s got sentries, we’re squeezing Black Dragon’s space. By dawn, he’ll be trapped with nowhere to go."
The generals kept advising. The commander was Soren Ngo, a general. Over a year ago, in Cedar Grove, his family was killed by Black Dragon. He dreamed of revenge.
Now that he had the chance, he wasn’t gonna let Black Dragon slip away.
"General, it’s nighttime. Black Dragon’s a pro at hiding. Once it’s daylight, he’s toast with nowhere to hide."
Soren finally held back. Larry, after taking out a bunch of people, quickly retreated.
He kept running through the mountains. But slowly, he noticed sentries at every key spot. He was getting boxed in.
Once surrounded, they’d keep squeezing his space, and he’d get caught.
Larry hid in a big tree. He looked around, starting to take things seriously. He kept analyzing the situation, thinking about how to break through.
If he could bust through this trap again, he'd have until daylight. Once the sun was up, the Black Dragon Army would swoop in, and these guys would be toast.
After a quick think, he took a deep breath. No more hiding now. He started scouting for an opening. Soon, a small squad showed up. But there was another team about a hundred meters away.
And more in the distance. He had to act fast. He moved like a flash, dropping from the sky. Before he even hit the ground, gunfire erupted. The small squad was wiped out in seconds. Larry rushed over, grabbing their weapons.
"Over there!"
"Quick."
"Black Dragon."
The gunfire drew attention. Enemies nearby noticed and started closing in. Suddenly, fighter jets appeared in the sky. Their machine guns started blasting the area.
After grabbing the weapons, Larry dodged quickly. He moved like a ninja, jumping from tree to tree. He hid in a tree over 100 feet high. Fighter jets were circling above. Larry watched them closely. He had to take them down to break through.
A jet flew by, just 100 feet above him. Larry pulled out a grenade, hurling it into the sky. At the same time, he jumped to another tree, firing a shot into the air. The grenade got close to the jet and was hit.
The jet caught fire and crashed fast. It exploded on impact. Some ground troops got caught in the blast.
As the jet went down, bombs rained on Larry's area, tearing up trees. But Larry was already 3000 away. He hid in another tree, panting hard.
After all that intense action, he was wiped out. He needed to eat to keep going; otherwise, he wouldn't last long.
At that moment, he craved a cigarette. He spotted a tree hole and slid down like a snake. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
With a deep drag, his fatigue seemed to melt away with the smoke.
He took out some compressed biscuits and a bottle of water from his backpack. Suddenly, he heard movement outside.
Larry peeked through the tree hole and saw some fully armed soldiers moving in.
He planted a landmine quietly and then vanished into the night.
A few minutes later, the explosion took out a bunch of them.
Larry kept popping up and disappearing.
Now, the hundred thousand troops were mostly in this area, and Larry's space was shrinking.
He checked his watch. It was only 2 AM, still hours until dawn, and his space was getting so tight he could barely move.
'Where's the command room?' Larry thought. He needed to find the command room. If he could take it out, the army chasing him would be lost. Larry thought of a spot.
The mountaintop.
The first place the enemy showed up was the mountaintop where he had started.
The command room was probably up there. Larry had a crazy idea. He'd find a way back to the command room and blow it up.
