Abu also tied the static rope.
He then threw the other end off the steep cliff.
"Boss, the rope is secured! I'll go down first!"
After giving a brief report, Abu immediately put on gloves and fastened the D-lock into the rope.
Leaning back and bracing his feet against the cliff face, he began to descend rapidly along the static rope.
Lei Hao did it directly in front of Bai Lu.
With a thought, the SH-15 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzer, which had just been put back into operation, was activated.
It vanished into thin air in an instant and was reclaimed from the system space.
The egret's eyes widened suddenly, its pupils contracting in extreme shock.
Her expression was as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"This...this huge cannon...it's all gone after it's fired?!"
Bai Lu never imagined that such a large truck-mounted artillery piece would be gone so suddenly.
At this moment, Lei Hao became increasingly mysterious in her eyes.
Lei Hao walked to the edge of the cliff, glanced back at the still-shocked egret, and asked:
"What about you? Are you going to pursue Kunsa?"
The egret suddenly came to its senses and hurriedly replied:
"Go! Of course!"
But then she looked deeply confused:
"But Lei Sheng, aren't we...aren't we going to drive?"
Lei Hao rolled his eyes at her, annoyed.
"Driving? Driving is nowhere near as fast as rappelling!"
"The fastest way to get to the foot of the mountain is to rappel down from here!"
The egret, still puzzled, pointed to the dense jungle below:
"But if we don't drive, are we supposed to chase after Kunsa on foot?"
"Kunsa is several kilometers away from here!"
"By the time we got there, he had already disappeared!"
She couldn't understand why they would abandon the vehicle and choose to traverse complex terrain on foot to pursue a target several kilometers away.
Lei Hao's lips curled into a mysterious smile.
He skillfully fastened his rappelling gear onto the rope.
He said to the egret:
"Who told you there wouldn't be any more cars after we got off?"
"Follow!"
The words have not yet fallen.
Lei Hao's body had already leaned back, his feet firmly planted on the cliff face.
He controlled the descender, moving swiftly along the rope like a nimble ape, disappearing rapidly at the edge of the steep cliff.
Only the egret remained on the cliff top, watching the taut static rope sway slightly in the wind.
She pondered Lei Hao's last words—"Who told you there wouldn't be any cars after we got off?"
An unbelievable thought arose in her mind.
Could it be... that Lei Hao can conjure a car out of thin air at the foot of the mountain?
The idea was too bizarre, but Bai Lu remembered how Lei Hao had just made such a large truck cannon disappear.
At this point, she already had a general idea in her mind.
Bai Lu dared not delay any longer. She took a deep breath and suppressed the turmoil in her heart.
He quickly grabbed the last set of rappelling gear, gritted his teeth, and began rappelling down the static rope.
Abu, who had taken the lead, landed as lightly as a cheetah.
He swiftly and cleanly unfastened the clasps on his body.
Immediately, he picked up his automatic rifle and cautiously scanned the surrounding jungle environment.
After all, no one can guarantee that.
At the foot of this mountain, which has just been ravaged by artillery fire, could the surviving remnants of Khun Sa's army suddenly appear?
He had to provide safe cover for the subsequent landings of Lei Hao and Bai Lu.
Not long after, Lei Hao landed steadily.
The first thing he did after unlocking the lock was to do it with a thought.
That massive SH-15 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzer.
It was placed on the open ground as easily as eating or drinking.
Lei Hao glanced back at the egret still hanging in mid-air.
He immediately called out to Abu:
"Abu, get in the car! We're ready to go!"
His tone carried an undeniable sense of urgency.
The egret finally completed its descent and landed firmly on the ground.
As she unlocked the clasp, she looked up.
That familiar SH-15 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzer, gleaming with a cold metallic sheen.
It suddenly reappeared before my eyes.
The egret's face instantly revealed an expression of "I knew it."
A sense of understanding mixed with shock and helplessness.
Countless questions churned in her mind.
But she knew very well that no matter how much she pressed him, Lei Hao would never reveal a single truth to her.
Instead of wasting precious time here agonizing over these unanswerable mysteries.
We should immediately get to the mission of pursuing Kunsa.
This is the most important thing right now.
If only we can successfully keep Kunsa, this big fish, at the Karajun crossing forever.
Therefore, the complex power structure of the entire Golden Triangle region will inevitably undergo a radical reshuffle.
Only then could their anti-tyranny alliance seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
We must completely eradicate these armed forces that have been entrenched in the area for many years and have been a menace to the region.
"Don't just stand there, get in the car!" Lei Hao urged in a low voice.
The engine of the SH-15 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzer had already roared to life, ready to depart as soon as Bai Lu boarded.
Bai Lu dared not delay any longer, and without hesitation, opened the car door and nimbly climbed into the driver's seat.
Lei Hao slammed the accelerator to the floor.
This massive steel behemoth roared and shot off like an arrow released from a bow!
The engine unleashed a torrent of horsepower, and the immense push-back sensation slammed the unprepared Abu and Bailu hard against the back of their seats.
Both of them were startled by the sudden burst of violent power.
"Boss, how come this...this huge thing is so powerful?!"
Abu gripped the handrail tightly, exclaiming in disbelief.
He had never heard of any truck-mounted artillery that could exhibit such amazing road mobility as this SH-15mm vehicle-mounted howitzer.
Lei Hao glanced at the rapidly ticking dashboard and said dismissively:
"You're making a fuss over nothing! This behemoth can reach a top speed of 90 kilometers per hour on the highway!"
"It's only at 70 kilometers per hour now, it hasn't reached its limit yet!"
Abu and Bailu were still reeling from the shock.
The car suddenly jolted, and its speed increased dramatically once again!
Despite being in a rugged and complex tropical rainforest region.
But Lei Hao drove this heavy truck as if it were flat ground, as if he were speeding on a highway.
He had pressed the accelerator pedal firmly to the bottom, showing no sign of letting go.
