after lunch, they continued on their journey.
daisy zane dozed off again after getting back into the car.
firstly, she hadn’t slept the previous night and was genuinely tired. secondly, it was genuinely quite uneventful seemingly calm and peaceful all the time.
but since they were carrying the ‘thing’, how could it remain calm and peaceful all the time.
it was 2:06 in the afternoon, local time.
daisy zane heard the gunfire and opened her eyes.
simultaneously, voices came from the walkie-talkies inside the car.
in their car, other than the driver, there was only michael jackson in the copilot seat and daisy zane in the backseat.
a burst of static, then voices from the walkies talking about being ambushed by more than one group of people.
it could be some powers temporarily teaming up to intercept dark radiance’s ‘thing’, or it could simply be every faction trying to compete on their own.
after this message came over, adrian roberts’ voice rang out: “stick to the plan, prioritize the cargo. if forced to disperse, rendezvous at shallow creek.”
“understood.”
the sound of gunfire drew nearer, and daisy zane noticed the vehicles approaching from afar.
the walkie-talkie crackled again: “kent jericho, follow james cooper’s car. ensure lady zane’s safety.”
kent jericho was daisy zane’s driver, and quickly responded, “roger that.”
there were vehicles ahead and behind daisy zane’s car specifically for her protection.
michael jackson turned his head to look at daisy zane in the rear, saw her calm and somewhat sleepy demeanor, and silently turned his gaze forward again.
who was protecting who it was hard to tell.
the forces on the perimeter were closing in fast.
driving their cars in an attempt to crash into theirs, they opened fire on their cars.
daisy zane’s car was unaffected— vehicles swiftly surrounded it for protection.
all their cars were modified: glass and tires were bulletproof, and the entire body had been refitted.
to avoid impacting the speed, special materials were used in the cars. they could still maintain high speeds.
as long as there wasn’t a sustained attack, the cars would generally not have any issues.
the opposing factions quickly engaged in combat, with gunfire and crashes heard all around.
the driver called kent jericho was very skilled at driving.
though they were under siege, he could always manage to evade. however, while the car’s speed was fast, it was only circling around, not escaping the area.
there were many enemies, and they couldn’t break away for now. so, to avoid the enemy, all he could do was circle.
the cars carrying the cargo, driven by james cooper and his team, too, were engaging while circling around.nôv(el)b\\jnn
he saw her quickly refilling the magazine very quickly, her face cold and composed.
even though bullets were constantly hitting the car windows and doors, her expression remained unchanged, her eyelashes didn’t even blink once.
“five minutes.” daisy loaded the magazine, “pin them down here.”
her calm demeanor, the dismissive tone of her voice gave kent great comfort. he obeyed and kept circling the car.
four other vehicles also mimicked their action.
for five minutes, daisy attacked with her gun while also guiding kent on the road.
all those who had chased them were either injured or handicapped, and some also retreated
when they were completely unable to chase them anymore, daisy then said, “retreat.”
kent took a breath and exhaled slowly, both nervous and excited. his hands gripping the steering wheel were completely wet.
just their five cars had wiped out a team that had been chasing them.
he had never felt so exhilarated before.
kent’s eyes glittered with excitement as he drove towards james.
their plan was that james was responsible for taking the goods away, and couldn’t afford to be involved in battle.
most importantly, the goods were the second priority, daisy zane’s safety was the first priority.
on the other hand, adrian was part of the group who wished to fight, purely to distract the enemy’s firepower.
compared to them, daisy was initially in the safest position.
but because of the location being a plain, it was barren all around, only dry weeds were present.
when the enemy surrounded them, the whole team was being attacked from all directions.
under the current circumstances, whether they wished to fight or not, all were in the heat of battle.
even though james’ team was moving, the battle was not let up.
in fact, initially when attacked, the team was somewhat dispersed, fighting individually. they were currently retreating while trying to regroup.
when daisy left, neither james nor adrian noticed.
one, they did not foresee daisy leaving the safe area, and two, they were too preoccupied in that moment.
only when kent drove back to join forces with james to strike the enemy did james realize that daisy was not with the team.
james instantly broke out in cold sweat.
even though daisy was safe and sound, the image of harton clark’s murderous eyes still floated into his mind
the enemy was flanked, and suffered heavy losses.
now was a good opportunity to retreat.
even though the thought of harton clark made james’ legs go weak, he did not drag his feet and immediately ordered the retreat.
leaving some people to cover them, kent drove the car to a safer location.
from the car window, daisy looked toward adrian’s team.
