Having closed to within 100 ters, Lin Xinghai was finally in range to attack.
He took a fist-sized tal sphere from his combat backpack and pressed the activation button. Blue patterns imdiately began to flash across its surface.
Lin Xinghai swiftly hurled the tal sphere. With his current 49 points in Power, he easily threw the device over a hundred ters, sending it flying toward the Wild Wolf rcenary Corps’ hidden location.
BOOM!
With a loud roar, the tal sphere exploded. But instead of fire and shockwaves, it unleashed a dense Thunder Grid that instantly enveloped the Wild Wolf rcenary Corps’ position.
Plasma Grenade! That was the na of the weapon Lin Xinghai had just used.
Its effect was exactly as they were witnessing: it erupted with terrifying lightning, indiscriminately attacking everything within a 20-ter diater.
Furthermore, the Plasma Grenade was exceptionally destructive against all sorts of advanced scanning equipnt—much like a 21st-century EMP, only far more powerful.
As the electricity raged, the few dilapidated houses that had appeared empty were suddenly filled. Figures flickered into view, along with plenty of weapons and equipnt. Most conspicuous were several cha standing inside, which had been completely invisible just monts before.
With their cloaking effect shattered, the mbers of the Wild Wolf rcenary Corps were montarily stunned, especially the squad that was already charging out to attack.
They hesitated, torn between continuing their mission to kill the attacker and retreating.
But their slight hesitation cost them the chance to decide. Lin Xinghai had already made the choice for them: they would all be staying.
He raised his twin pistols. As he pulled the triggers, bullet after bullet flew out, reaping lives as if they were a scythe in the hands of Death.
And just like that, the entire ten-man squad was wiped out in less than three seconds. A few rcenaries in the back managed to react, trying desperately to dodge, but it was futile. The man they were facing was Lin Xinghai.
With the predictive power of Lin Xinghai’s Gun Technique, their tactical movents and evasive maneuvers were completely useless. In the end, every one of them was taken down with a precise headshot.
...
"How is this possible? Everything was arranged perfectly. How could this be happening?" Qiu Taifei stared at the unfolding situation, his face a mask of disbelief. What was happening was far beyond anything he had anticipated.
"What’s so impossible about it? If there weren’t, the Young Master wouldn’t have sent us," a blond, blue-eyed man said from within the black cha, his tone hostile. "Execute Plan B imdiately. Otherwise, you won’t have to bother returning to Star Shield Shelter."
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Qiu Taifei’s forehead. As he gave the order to execute Plan B, he asked respectfully, "Mr. Geoffrey, do you have any suggestions for the coming battle?"
"Give command. You go deal with that Divine Sharpshooter. He’s at least half the reason our ambush failed. Now they’ve tracked us to our doorstep, and not only were you slow to react, you actually sent a squad out to feed them kills. I’m truly impressed," Geoffrey said mockingly.
’Qiu Taifei’s face flushed. The detectors had picked up incoming rcenaries, but they couldn’t show *who* it was. He never imagined their Divine Sharpshooter wouldn’t be hiding sowhere safe, but would actually risk getting close to attack them.’
’Besides, Geoffrey hadn’t said a word when he sent the squad out. Now that the first squad was annihilated, he was shifting all the bla onto him. How could he not be furious?’
But he was in no position to argue. No matter how furious he was, he didn’t dare talk back to Geoffrey. He could only redirect his anger toward Lin Xinghai.
...
After wiping out the entire squad, Lin Xinghai suddenly felt an imnse sense of danger wash over him. At the sa ti, a cha that had been hidden in one of the houses smashed through a wall and charged straight for him.
Seeing this, Lin Xinghai didn’t dare linger for a second. He imdiately activated his Phantom Body Technique to retreat. But even as the cha pursued him, he wasn’t worried, because...
"Qiu Taifei, you’re really getting more impressive by the day! You have to pilot a cha just to take on one of our regular mbers? I’m truly learning a lot today, haha!" Fang Tianhe’s booming laughter echoed across the battlefield from his cha’s external speakers.
He, too, was piloting his cha, rushing in their direction at top speed.
But even faster than him was Shen Han’s attack. A bullet imbued with the Celestial Frost Superpower struck Qiu Taifei’s cha first, causing it to freeze for a mont.
The freeze only lasted a second, but it was enough for Lin Xinghai to get to a safe distance.
At the sa ti, Fang Tianhe’s cha charged in, swinging its Vibrating Giant Blade to clash with the Sharp Claw on Qiu Taifei’s cha.
CLANG! RUMBLE!
Sparks flew and the ground thundered. The shockwaves from the two cha clashing caused the surrounding buildings to collapse. As Shen Han, Gao Mountain, and Roger arrived in their own cha to engage the other four enemy units, the area beca completely untenable for ordinary rcenaries.
Whether intentionally or not, both sides began to shift the battlefield further away, as if to leave this area for their respective rcenaries to fight.
Lin Xinghai glanced at the state of the battle. Surprisingly, of the enemy’s four cha, the strongest wasn’t the one piloted by Qiu Taifei, but the all-black one.
Of course, Fang Tianhe was no slouch. When he unleashed his Heaven-Splitting Superpower, his opponent didn’t dare to face it head-on. Coupled with Shen Han’s seamless coordination, the two of them had the combat effectiveness of nearly three enemy cha, and they quickly seized the initiative.
’Besides, our side still has four unused shoulder-launched missiles. If we can find an opportune mont to catch them off guard, we could probably end the entire battle.’
So after a brief glance, Lin Xinghai turned his attention back to the Wild Wolf rcenary Corps’ position.
The enemy had already changed tactics. Knowing they were up against a Divine Sharpshooter, none of the rcenaries were foolish enough to rush out. Instead, they all advanced behind massive Anti-Riot Shields, keeping their bodies completely covered.
The Armored Vehicles they had hidden behind the houses also rolled out. After being modified, these things were basically mobile turrets.
Each Armored Vehicle was mounted with six Heavy Machine Guns, aning four vehicles had a total of twenty-four. Combined with an automated fire-control system, the instantaneous firepower they could unleash was easily comparable to that of an entire rcenary Corps.
An ordinary rcenary Corps would probably fall into despair at such a sight.
But as Lin Xinghai watched their turtling formation, a mocking smile touched his lips. ’Without the threat of their cha, the Wild Wolf rcenary Corps is nothing more than a slightly more durable set of targets for .’
