IUD-CHAPTER 199 DISMANTLED BOMB

(From here on out, I will release 1 extra chapter if I receive 10 new reviews and 100 Power Stones.)

"Bang—!"

Amidst the explosion, the convertible car that crashed by the roadside burst into flames, gradually transforming into a heap of scrap metal. The blast wave scattered the rainwater and stirred up the surroundings, altering the wind direction slightly.

Yet, Fang Li once again made use of this change in wind direction. With a tug of the rope, the parachute on his back transformed completely into a glider, soaring forward with the wind and rain.

"Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang—!"

Amidst the gunshots, Aria pulled the trigger again, causing flashes of light from the muzzle of her Colt as bullets were fired one after another.

It had to be said that Aria's shooting was incredibly precise.

At least, without the additional accuracy bonus from his Title, Fang Li's shooting couldn't match Aria's.

Under Aria's shooting, bullets accurately hit the tires of the swiftly moving convertibles below. The convertibles lost balance one after another, tossing the submachine guns off aim and crashing off the road, some reduced to rubble and others exploding.

Only then did Fang Li finally gain some understanding of Aria's strength.

"She truly deserves her S-Rank Butei title."

Although his initial judgment of the situation might have been slightly off, her prowess was undeniably guaranteed.

And not just in shooting, she must be skilled in hand-to-hand combat as well, right?

Otherwise, this petite girl wouldn't have wielded two Colt M1911 handguns, which were somewhat oversized for her, without flinching at the significant recoil.

Of course, perhaps Aria's firearms had undergone modifications to reduce recoil. After all, many patents on such weapons had expired, allowing for more extensive alterations.

Unlike Fang Li's Glock, which underwent modifications by the Equipment Division to enhance the power of the Invisible Bullet, increasing its rate of fire and heat resistance while also adjusting the firepower, stepping into the territory of illegal modifications.

While these thoughts flashed through Fang Li's mind, Aria smoothly fired the last shot, causing the final convertible to crash.

"Bang—!"

Amidst the explosion, the convertible car collided with the roadside once more and was engulfed in flames.

On the spacious highway, only one vehicle was left, speeding away— the hijacked bus.

Guided by Fang Li's maneuvers, the parachute transformed into a glider as it swooped down onto the bus's roof.

"Kacha…"

With a soft sound, Fang Li untied the rope of the parachute on his back, carrying Aria as he landed on the bus's roof.

Without wasting any time, Fang Li directly said to Aria, "The culprit is likely to send more remotely controlled vehicles, so let's divide and conquer. One will guard, while the other will defuse the bomb."

Hearing this, Aria seemed to agree that this arrangement was best, leveraging her formidable action abilities as she replied, "I'll defuse the bomb, and you stay on the bus to guard."

Saying so without hesitation, Aria left.

As for Fang Li, he turned over and stood up, leaping to the side of the bus. Through a window that seemed to have been shot by the convertible's submachine gun, he jumped inside.

Inside the bus's cabin, one by one, students wearing Butei High uniforms were lying down, seemingly trying to avoid being hit through the windows by the submachine gun.

Among them was Tohyama Kinji.

Seeing Fang Li enter the bus, Tohyama Kinji couldn't help but exclaim with both surprise and delight, "You finally came."

The other students also looked at Fang Li with a mix of surprise and joy.

"Great! An S-Rank Butei has come to rescue us."

"We're finally saved."

"What about the bomb?"

"Are we out of danger?"

One by one, the students stood up and started chattering excitedly.

To this, Fang Li calmly said, "We're not out of danger yet. The bomb hasn't been defused, but another S-Rank Butei is currently searching for it under the bus. It should be fine."

"Another S-Rank Butei?" Tohyama Kinji exclaimed, surprised. "Another S-Rank Butei arrived as well?"

"Moreover, she's an S-Rank Butei from the Assault Division," Fang Li explained. "Aria, who wields twin swords and twin guns. You should know her, right?"

Tohyama Kinji hesitated for a moment and then said, quite straightforwardly, "I don't know her."

"Well, I guess that makes sense. For someone like you, who aspires to leave Butei High, the Assault Division, especially information about a girl, would be something you'd avoid," Fang Li rolled his eyes. "But, considering you're still an Inquesta Butei, you should have some knowledge of this level of information."

"Enough with the lecture!" Tohyama Kinji said with some annoyance. "I'm just the lowest E-Rank Butei, so it's fine!"

A Butei's rating isn't fixed forever.

Depending on changes in their abilities and personal performance, Butei can level up or even be demoted.

For example, Butei who suffered injuries leading to a decline in their abilities often faced a drop in their ranking.

Tohyama Kinji was ranked as an S-Rank during his entrance exam in the first year, but due to transferring departments halfway through and not participating in the third-semester exams, his rank had now fallen directly to the lowest E-Rank.

Of course, Tohyama Kinji didn't care about his Butei rank anymore.

While a Butei's rank would affect the distribution of missions, rewards, and treatment, it meant nothing to Tohyama Kinji, who wanted to leave Butei High and no longer be a Butei.

At this moment, Aria's voice came through Fang Li's radio.

"I found the bomb!"

Fang Li's mind shook slightly upon hearing this.

Seeing Fang Li's expression, Tohyama Kinji seemed to guess what was going on and hurriedly asked, "Did she find the bomb?"

"Yes," Fang Li quickly explained the situation. "I'll go outside to check. All of you stay here; there might still be more attacks outside, so don't move recklessly."

After speaking, Fang Li didn't give Tohyama Kinji time to respond. He jumped onto the window of the bus, and leaped onto the roof.

At the same time, Aria climbed up from under the rear of the bus and saw Fang Li on the roof, raising her hand.

In her hand was a not-so-small plastic bomb.

Seeing this, Fang Li breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt a sense of discomfort.

It felt as though he had overlooked something important.

"Buzz…"

Just then, Fang Li's cell phone, set to vibration mode, suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

It was probably someone calling Fang Li.

However, this vibration made Fang Li's heart jump suddenly.
