Chapter 697 Going Directly to Zhongzhou Province
Thanks to the protective shield erected by the special defensive equipment inside the vehicle, Chen Gang was the only one outside the vehicle who was not injured by the second round of shelling.
Hearing Yan Shu speak, his position became even more convenient, and he immediately opened the car door and jumped into the driver's seat.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the bodyguard captain's car roared to life and sped off recklessly toward the pile of rocks blocking their path!
He wanted to clear a path for Yan Shu's chariot.
The retreat went smoothly. The two tanks emerged from the blast radius one after the other and sped away without looking back.
Although they had just withstood two consecutive rounds of enemy fire, causing a significant drain on the batteries of both vehicles, it didn't stop them from advancing at full speed, their energy batteries rapidly depleting...
In Yan Shu and the bodyguard captain's view, the other party would definitely take the opportunity to pursue and kill them. Moreover, they did not know how many trump cards the other party had. The attack was sudden and the situation was unclear, so they naturally did not plan to retaliate.
All I wanted to do was get out of danger first.
"Damn it! They got away, boss! They got away!" one of the henchmen yelled hoarsely.
The lingering smoke and dust obscured the attackers' vision, but their hearing had returned. Although the sound of the tank starting up wasn't loud, the bodyguard captain's resolute and forceful slam immediately drew the attention of the attackers.
But it was too late; by the time they realized what had happened, Yan Shu's two cars had already fled.
"Shut up! I'm getting in the car and chasing after them!" the boss roared angrily.
The leader tossed the depleted rocket launcher into the truck bed, then climbed in and took the lead, driving himself.
The attackers' two low-spec armored vehicles also sped off.
Why is the boss, who was just considering retreating, now daring to pursue? He has his own reasons.
If Yan Shu's team hadn't run away after that attack, then the leader would have led his men to escape first. But now it seems Yan Shu's team has run away first!
What does this mean? It means they're definitely finished, they're at their last gasp, so of course we have to hunt them down and not let them escape!
That's the remaining balance he ran away with!

"Snap." Chen Gang got into the driver's seat and closed the car door.
"Boss, I've already ordered them to disperse and retreat. The two batteries have enough power left to get to City Five."
"Captain Yang just gave the bodyguards recovery potions, and they're all fine. Boss, don't worry." As he reported this, Chen Gang started the vehicle.
"Hmm," Yan Shu replied calmly.
He rarely experienced something like this before, and while he was mentally exhausted, he was also still pondering the reasons for the attack.
"Boss, are you alright?" Chen Gang asked with concern.
He knew his boss's situation very well. He was a level three awakener, and theoretically, the mental energy consumed by activating equipment shouldn't have a significant impact on a level three awakener.
The problem is that since Yan Shu took over the Yan family company, his focus has always been on company affairs, and he has never paid much attention to the cultivation and training of his mental strength.
The group they encountered today was ruthless; the defensive equipment that protected them all is probably too much for the boss to handle.
"I'm fine. Get to City Number Five as soon as possible," Yan Shu said.
"Yes." Chen Gang said no more.
The chariot sped through the wilderness of Xia Kingdom. While driving, Chen Gang also paid attention to his surroundings, fearing that those people would catch up. There were only the two of them, him and his boss, in the car, which would be difficult to deal with.
Yan Shu, sitting in the back seat, felt heavy-hearted.
If you block someone else's path to wealth, you should be mentally prepared for the unexpected and severe consequences that may befall you.
Therefore, he would not announce his departure time or route. The people who knew the most about it, besides Chen Gang, were his bodyguards. Chen Gang would never betray him, but those bodyguards had been with the Yan family for many years. It could be said that the Yan family had provided them with protection during the insect plague.
Yan Shu was unwilling to doubt them.
But today's attack was clearly an ambush by the enemy, who had been lying in wait all along. No one revealed his whereabouts, so how did those people know he would pass by there?
Unlike a few years ago, there are not many people leaving the city now in Xia Kingdom, making it easy to track their whereabouts. Nowadays, there are many people coming and going in every major city every day, so Yan Shu's group of only two war chariots is actually not very noticeable.
His hand rubbed against the seat beside him. It was his own fault for not bringing armored guards with him this time. Otherwise, those people would have been subdued in no time. Why would they have had to run away in such a sorry state?
With the insect eradication operation progressing to this point, it can be said that there is no longer any major security threat from the insect race within the Xia Kingdom. Even in the wild, it is generally safe, so he did not make a big fuss by bringing armored guards.
Yan Shu truly didn't expect that anyone would be able to obtain such a powerful weapon to deal with him. Such heavy firepower belongs to high-energy weapons, which are controlled weapons in Xia Country, and not just anyone can get their hands on them.
Are those people really crazy? They dare to misappropriate controlled weapons?
If his defense hadn't been so solid, it's hard to say what would have happened to him today. Yan Shu was also feeling quite anxious at this moment.
If he were to die unexpectedly, neither Zhang Yishi nor Yan Jin would necessarily be able to manage MC Technology Company well afterward.
Zhang Yishi was already busy enough with the Zhang family's company, but after recovering from childbirth, she was even busier than Yan Shu.
Yan Jin's wisdom is all focused on scientific research; he has neither the ability nor the time to manage his family's company. Sigh!
Northern Province, again Northern Province.
Yan Shu's lips curled slightly. Logically speaking, if he were attacked in the wild, the first thing he should do is to immediately find the nearest large city and seek refuge there or call the police. No one would dare to use psionic weapons in a large city.
But this is the Northern Province, an area completely covered by the Northern Province Military Region. Yan Shu said he didn't dare go to any of the major cities in the Northern Province.
Yan Shu knew that Pan Laiming and Su Mo had a bad relationship. He couldn't be sure whether Su Mo was involved in the attack, but the possibility that Su Mo would make things easier for the person behind the attack was extremely high.
The heavy firepower and high-energy weapons in the hands of those attackers are not easy for civilians to obtain, but they are very easy for the military to acquire.
He's going to a big city in the northern province; who knows what will happen?
Zhongzhou Province is different; it's within the sphere of influence of the Central Army. The tank units under the Central Army were formed after trading reptile larvae with Su Mo. They have a good relationship with Su Mo and are unlikely to target him.
Not only does Wu Shun own businesses in the city of Silver Boat No. 5, making it safer for him to go there, but Silver Boat is also the location of the factory he plans to visit next, so he can take care of some business along the way.
Indeed, despite Yan Shu's repeated "ignorance of advice," those people had already taken action.
Regardless of whether they had any cooperation with the Yan family, all factories within Xian'an Province declined Yan Shu's new orders this time, leaving him with no choice but to look for partners outside the province.
