Chapter 49 Volley Shot

Chapter 49 Volley Shot
While Luca was still wondering what these people were planning to do by hiding upstairs and not coming out,

He suddenly noticed that, through the lens, two people on the third floor were suddenly stretching their arms backward, assuming a baseball pitcher's stance.

Although Luca couldn't see clearly what the other person was holding in his hands through thermal vision, he immediately determined that the enemy was throwing grenades, and that the two grenades were being thrown towards him and Dunshan respectively.

In the critical moment, Luca decisively shouted, signaling the others to quickly take evasive action.

However, he did not dodge at all; instead, he took half a step back and shouted.

"Big White, reach out your hand!"

Then Luca took two steps forward, quickly rushed to Big White, and leaped down, stepping on Big White's outstretched hand.

Then, gather strength in your feet.

Electric arcs flashed continuously on the red and white sneakers, and then he suddenly leaped upwards, his body rising abruptly to a height of six or seven meters in the air.

At that moment, two grenades thrown by the enemy broke through the window from the left and right.

One of the parabolic trajectories was positioned right in front of Luca at that moment.

Luca, suspended in mid-air, made no hesitation.

By simultaneously engaging the waist and legs, the entire person resembles an eagle spreading its wings.

A powerful volley.

"Bang~"

The moment Luca's foot made contact with the grenade, it suddenly spun, accelerated, and changed direction.

It flew back rapidly through the window from which it had been projected.

Then, right in Luca's sight.

The grenade struck the ceiling of the three-story building with great speed.

Then, with a 'clang,' it bounced back into the house in an extremely rapid zigzag motion.

"Ah! It's a grenade!"

"Be careful!!"

"Lie down!"

Several terrified screams came from inside the house.

However, it was too late.

The next moment, the rolling grenade hit the ground with a thud.

Subsequently.

"boom--"

Two loud bangs overlapped.

Two grenades, one inside and one outside the building, exploded simultaneously.

The massive shockwave from the grenade explosion upstairs shattered all the glass on the third floor, and screams echoed from inside the building.

The grenade that exploded on the ground below did not cause any damage to Dunshan and the other two, as they had all been warned by Luca in advance and found cover in time.

Even Luca, who was falling from the sky, could only vaguely feel a wave of heat passing by his side because of the distance.

In the field of view of thermal imaging.

Seeing the heat wave generated by his kick, Luca's adrenaline surged, his pupils gleamed with excitement, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"Damn, that feels great!"

Just then, a pair of large hands caught Luca as he fell from the sky.

Big White's dark, round eyes revealed a great deal of confusion.

(●—●)

"Your behavior could easily lead to ankle sprains and strains. Although it may seem to effectively increase your neurotransmitter activity, I do not recommend that you do this in the future."

Luca, who was being hugged by Big White and whose back was aching from being poked by Big White's gauntlets, narrowed his excited eyes slightly, then thought with some annoyance.

'Damn, I got too excited again. I'm not some war maniac!' He silently warned himself to be more careful next time, and Luca quickly rolled off Big White's embrace and landed back on the ground.

At this moment, the members of the Down A squad who had witnessed the entire scene rushed out from their cover.

Samira, who was the fastest runner, didn't care about any mission objectives at this moment.
Before he even got close to Luca, he called out anxiously.

"Young Master! What happened just now was too dangerous! How could you do that?! Ahhh!!!"

Somewhat frantic, Samira rushed to Luca's side, wanting to angrily reprimand him, but she couldn't bring herself to do it, and in the end, she could only let out a meaningless shout as a form of venting.

Now Luca was even more embarrassed and could only offer quiet words of comfort.

"Sorry, not next time."

As he spoke, Luca's eyes darted around.

In fact, Luca has hated gambling addicts the most in both his past and present lives.

But looking back, every time he encountered a crisis and needed to make some major decisions, to put it nicely, he had a fighting spirit and a willingness to take risks, but upon closer examination, wasn't that just a gamble?
The other three people present witnessed what had just happened. Although Dunshan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, his face remained expressionless.

Thresh seemed to want to say something, but after muttering a few words, he turned his head away again.

Only Green Bull, standing at the back, grinned and secretly gave Luca a thumbs-up.

However, his raising of his hand only made Luca more embarrassed.

Finally, it was Dunshan, as the team leader, who broke the strange atmosphere by asking a question.

"Young Master Luca, after that grenade, is the target on the third floor still alive?"

Upon hearing Dunshan's question, Luca immediately put on a serious expression and reached out to press his [reconnaissance glasses].

However, after switching to the thermal imaging view this time, only a red light remained in the lens.

Even when Luca shifted his gaze to the third floor of the building, there were still a few white spots of light mixed in with the red and orange glow.

Luca knew that this was due to overexposure of the thermal imaging lens caused by a large amount of infrared radiation in the air.

In this situation, let alone confirming the results of the battle, activating thermal imaging mode would even affect Luca's own field of vision.

It's just that...
'They've got some seriously advanced technology that lets it hang through walls, so why do they have to follow scientific principles in a place like this?!'

Now, Luca felt even more annoyed with his impulsive behavior and could only turn off the thermal imaging mode, shaking his head helplessly at Dunshan.

"We can't see what's going on inside."

Upon hearing this, Dunshan didn't seem too surprised; he simply nodded calmly.

He was well aware of the drawbacks of thermal imaging, and his question was only because Luca's 'technology' had previously been so outstanding, so he held a sliver of hope.

"It seems our only option is to storm in and check the results!"

"Wrench, Longbow! You two are responsible for guarding the outer perimeter against any enemy reinforcements that may arrive at any time!"

"Received" x2
In fact, this is something the two of them have been paying attention to.

Dunshan only offered a brief reminder before continuing.

"Tarantula, Green Bull! Come upstairs with me to confirm the target!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Thresh.

"How much ammo are left?"

"The last magazine," the bald, burly man muttered softly.

"200 rounds? Thresh, go back to the vehicle to reload and cover Wrench. If enemy reinforcements arrive, open fire immediately!"

"Understood, Captain." Thresh didn't waste any words, grabbed his light machine gun, and jogged back towards the news van.

Finally, Dunshan looked at Luca.

But before he could even speak, Luca quickly said something.
