Chapter 1652: Chapter 1631: Absolutely Impossible How could Gao Yang let Yelena take a bullet for him? Letting the woman he loves most block a bullet for him, only to die right in front of him, how could Gao Yang tolerate such a thing happening to him? If Yelena blocked him, Gao Yang would be forced to watch the bullet hit Yelena, powerless to do anything. For someone with Gao Yang’s capabilities, how could such a thing possibly happen to him? Yelena’s action was wrong, but it was an instinctual move and reaction, a reflex made without thinking. A person’s instinctive reaction should be to protect themselves. That is to say, no matter how important the person next to you is, when facing danger or an unexpected situation, the first reaction is self-protection. Only after the brain processes it, waking you up, can you take the next step, such as protecting someone more important to you, or more straightforwardly, running away to save yourself. But there are always exceptions. Yelena’s reflex was to stand in front of Gao Yang, stretching out her arms to protect him. This means that even in her subconscious, Gao Yang’s life was more important than her own. Such instinctive behavior can’t be faked because if Yelena had thought it over in her head before acting, there would be no time. Gao Yang’s instinctive behavior would definitely be to shield Yelena behind him, but he is trained, battle-hardened. So whether it was his reflexive action or conditioned reflexes formed over time, at this moment, Gao Yang would always make the correct judgment and take the correct countermeasures. Gao Yang stepped forward with his right foot, blocking Yelena’s leg, his right shoulder dipping forward in a martial arts move, smoothly and decisively putting Yelena on the ground. Gao Yang’s move was an ambush technique to catch someone head-on. A slight movement of the shoulder and leg was enough—it’s incredibly fast, not even needing to stretch out the hand—but this time, Gao Yang certainly wouldn’t let Yelena’s head hit the ground directly. He reached out with his left hand, grabbing Yelena’s neck to absorb the impact of her fall, swiftly but gently placing her head on the ground. After grabbing the bag from Yelena’s hand with his right hand, Gao Yang crouched and curled his legs, springing out. Sometimes, courage is more important than ability. Gao Yang’s judgment was that he couldn’t run away; running would only make him a target for the bullets, so his only choice was to counterattack, even though there were more than ten meters between him and the enemy. Actually, when Gao Yang rushed out to face four shooters who had already completed their shooting preparations and indeed started shooting, he had no assurance of survival, but at this moment, nothing else mattered. The most important thing was that Yelena couldn’t die, especially not by taking a bullet for him. That was Gao Yang’s only thought. If the shooters were well-trained, Gao Yang stood little chance of survival, because four trained men firing at a target roughly ten meters away would rarely miss. But, Gao Yang could accept death; he couldn’t accept Yelena dying for him. Why was it impossible for Yelena to die by blocking a bullet for him? Because even if death was certain, Gao Yang was sure he would die before Yelena. Gao Yang, rushing out, suddenly swung Yelena’s bag outward, aiming directly at the shooter facing him. The shooter instinctively turned his head, causing the bullet shot at Gao Yang to whizz past to his right. The reason was simple: if someone is right-handed, they tend to turn right instinctively, which leads the shoulder to turn, and hence the arm, making the gun barrel deviate. The time to turn and return isn’t long, but aiming at the target again isn’t as quick as just realigning sightlines. Even so, when the turned shooter tried to aim at Gao Yang again, Gao Yang had already thrown another object with his right hand. This time, Gao Yang threw a phone. Although it was the second time, the shooter again instinctively tilted his head. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁 When someone is extremely tense, especially in battle, how long can they keep turning their head? When the shooter turned again the third time, Gao Yang let out a deafening roar, so loud that it drowned out the gunfire, and the shooter facing Gao Yang was startled into a flinch. There wouldn’t be a fourth time, for Gao Yang had already reached the shooter. The usual routine, of course, whatever it is, it’s because it’s effective that it becomes a routine. A powerful kick with the right foot, this time Gao Yang’s Groin Kick was with lethal force and speed. His right hand grabbed the gun barrel with lightning speed, twisting, while his left hand slammed down on the shooter’s wrist fiercely. Right hand on the barrel, left hand on the wrist, and as Gao Yang’s left hand descended, the handle of a Glock 17 fell into his left hand. No need for adjustment, with a flip of his left wrist, Gao Yang fired before swinging the gun, a shot fired in the turn hitting the forehead of the one he had kicked down, leaving a bloody hole. Gao Yang without a gun is human; with a gun in his hand, he’s not human anymore—he’s a god. Although his left hand wasn’t his dominant hand, it didn’t hinder his shooting precision. Raising his hand with a bang, Gao Yang hit the chest of the shooter less than three meters from him who was using a handgun, and then, with the recoil causing the muzzle to rise, he fired a second shot straight into the bridge of the nose. After shooting, while turning and crouching, he extended his right hand, holding it under his left hand; not to switch hands with the gun, but to use his right hand as support, a grip allowing for the fastest possible firing, as he continued shooting. Bang bang, the shooter on Gao Yang’s right side was hit at the neck and head junction with the first shot, and at the base of the ear with the second shot. Bang bang, two almost uninterrupted gunshots, the fourth shooter, farther on Gao Yang’s right side, was hit at the base of the ear with the first shot, and the temple with the second. The 9mm caliber handgun’s recoil was no issue for Gao Yang to control, allowing him to shoot effortlessly with an unmodified gun, hitting vital parts with two shots to ensure the enemy lost any capacity for action instantly. Why ensure the enemy loses all capacity for action and aim directly at the central nervous system disruption area? The reason is simple: Gao Yang feared these people not only had guns but also bombs, so he had to make sure these four men couldn’t even twitch a finger after being shot. Even if the detonator was in their hand, it wouldn’t go off, let alone pulling out a bomb or detonator, such large movements wouldn’t be possible.
