Chapter 1223 - 397: Limitless War_3
"That guy knocked down my drone with an axe! How did he react so quickly? Didn’t the reports say Horizon Corporation doesn’t have a power armor production line?"He has been here for a month, and he has faced off against this group of mercenaries multiple times, but something like this, which is completely impossible and beyond any logic, he can’t accept no matter how many times it happens!
The captain ignored his complaint and inquired on the channel:
"What about the sniper? Can you take him out?"
"The sniper is in position, but there’s only one shot opportunity. If I fire, I’ll be exposed. Are you sure you want me to shoot?"
On a slope several hundred meters away from Ruzuo, an almost invisible halo lay in a gray pit.
The long gun barrel follows the slow movement of Ruzuo’s head; with just a slight trigger pull, the opponent would be dead beyond saving.
He can react to the drone, but definitely not to electromagnetic bullets; their speeds are on completely different levels.
But the sniper knows that the opponent also has a sniper team; once spotted, he won’t be able to escape.
Their squad was on a secret mission but unexpectedly encountered this Horizon Mercenaries team outside Da Haguai, and it was proving to be incredibly difficult.
The captain glanced at the suitcase beside him and gravely asked the technician soldier:
"Can we find a way around them?"
The technician soldier was using a portable radar to detect enemies within several kilometers and shook his head slightly upon hearing the question.
"No chance. Their information network is very well-established; if one person knows something, everyone knows it. Without hacking in, trying to find the locations of their other members is very likely to result in confrontation."
"Really, such troublesome guys."
The captain gritted his teeth; their mission must not fail.
"Who’s the closest ally to us?"
"It’s the Global Guard’s Wolfpack team; they’re 3.9 kilometers away from us."
The captain decisively said,
"Request reinforcement. Have them approach us here, divert the enemy’s outer defenses to give us the opportunity to carry the nuclear weapon into Da Haguai."
Nuclear Weapon
If someone said they intended to use a nuclear weapon to obliterate a city in Cuba that hadn’t yet fallen a hundred years ago, definitely someone would think they’re insane. Back then, each nation’s nuclear binding strategy meant firing one nuclear missile was equivalent to launching thousands of nuclear weapons simultaneously.
But in this era, nuclear weapons have long transitioned from being a deterrent to becoming a conventional strike weapon. In the past hundred years, the total number used likely reaches triple digits; though they come with some hefty costs, for the European Community, if they can quickly resolve this war, it’s certainly worth it.
Da Haguai is heavily surrounded by Horizon Corporation, and has no rescue value.
But if a nuclear bomb is buried inside and detonated in the military zone after the enemy enters the city, then the casualties might be enormous enough to deter the Horizon Corporation.
And for Ruzuo and his team, this was simply an unexpected disaster.
They just wanted to find a cave to rest and order some food delivery, but then they ran into this team of enemies.
Blown meters away by the drone, he climbed up from the ground, not daring to pause, and quickly started running.
The enemy has a large number of drones, definitely more than just one launch, and possibly other weapons.
"Have you located their position?"
"Not yet, their stealth module is too strong, our radar can’t find them."
Upon hearing his teammate’s words, Ruzuo picked up the Ren Axe that had been blown away.
"Truly top-class elite monsters, so different from the batch we fought in Night City’s beginner village; only slightly weaker than Heavy Hammer. I thought those in Cuba were all low-quality drug dealers."
The power armor he wears is the latest developed, upgraded to the MT-4 iteration.
It’s very close to the one Lin Miao first wore, except the weight is too heavy, making high jumps and deceleration impossible.
It’s still a custom appearance.
"Are you in trouble?"
Tutu’s voice came through the channel, which was music to Ruzuo’s ears.
"Quick, come and help. A squad has infiltrated my place, and I’ve caught them!"
