Chapter 14: It was him, a sneak attack, a small return gift after a dramatic entrance, but it didn't work out...

Once V City's reinforcements arrived, the entire battlefield situation underwent a dramatic change.

With the advantage of a generational difference in weaponry, the advantage of high ground, and the advantage of favorable terrain, coupled with the "human factor" of Yuan Jianxing's personal statement of "quick victory, life or death," the V City executives swept through the entire transfer hub like thunder.

At other times, they would probably have to consider the surrounding buildings and people before making a move.

However, given the previous battle between the L City executive and these thugs employed by the Kangming Group, all the ordinary people in the transfer center had already fled, and the vehicles they abandoned, along with the surrounding buildings, had long been riddled with bullet holes.

Seeing that the mission was about to fail, the hired thugs became desperate and instead of fleeing, they began to fight back fiercely.

Although Yuan Jianxing ordered all near-ground-level flight units to climb the moment he noticed the change in the villain's expression, one or two slightly slower execution rafts were hit in vital areas during this sudden attack, crashing out of control and creating sparks and thick smoke as they glided.

Perhaps emboldened by their long-awaited defeat in battle against the executives, these mercenaries, as if injected with adrenaline, regrouped and launched a second attack on the transport carriage holding Snake Eyes, braving the firepower from other executive scouts.

The offensive was so fierce that even the executive officer who was originally hiding behind cover installing steel cables had to temporarily retreat to avoid its onslaught.

In such a short time, even with their excellent training, they only managed to fully install six of the twelve steel cables, while the other six were simply fixed in place.

Mu Wangzhuo, who was inside the heavy loader, frowned upon seeing this situation.

Six load ropes are the minimum requirement for a heavy loader to transport this heavy-duty item.

The "lower limit" means that the task can be completed with barely enough room for error.

However, in this extreme working environment, no one can guarantee that these six ropes will remain intact amidst the hail of bullets.

If any one of the ropes malfunctions during the transfer, the carriage will fall from the sky and crash to the ground, and the snake-eyed creature inside will surely die.

Just then, Yuan Jianxing unbuckled his seatbelt, crouched down, and opened the escape passage from the heavy loader's interior floor directly to the outside below.

"You provide cover, I'll go down and finish the installation."

Without giving Mu Wangzhu any chance to refute, Yuan Jianxing leaped down from the open escape passage, landing lightly but steadily on the top of the armored car.

From afar, a figure suddenly appeared on the roof of the transport car where Snake Eyes was being held. A seasoned mercenary, in the midst of his excitement, calmly raised his gun, aimed the scope at the figure, and chuckled, "Hey, I'm ahead of you bunch of bastards again."

However, when he focused his gaze on the scope, his finger, which had been resting on the trigger, began to tremble violently, along with his entire shoulder and neck.

"That's...it's Hara Mihoshi!" he cried out in disbelief.

His shout was immediately caught by his companions, and it sparked a huge wave of follow-up shouts.

"What? Who? Are you sure?!"

"Yuan Jianxing! Is that the chief?"

"Damn it, if I had known that Yuan Jianxing was among the executives who came to pick me up, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess no matter how much money they offered!"

As the news spread, many mercenaries who were engrossed in the killing immediately stopped firing and planned to seize every opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible.

However, despite the fact that the bad news that "Yuan Jianxing has arrived!" had spread very quickly, the battlefield of the transfer center was too large, and some people were unable to learn of this latest news.

On the other side of the battlefield, a greenhorn new to the job was gleefully raising his gun, intending to take care of this unsuspecting lamb that had been delivered right to his doorstep.

He aimed his crosshair at the opponent's head, focused his mind, and pulled the trigger the instant the wind stopped.

Propelled by the burning gunpowder inside the barrel, the bullet spins and travels at high speed toward the intended target.

Everything looked so perfect.

But just as the bullet was about to reach its target, it vanished into thin air!

Where it disappeared, a pale blue halo rippled out like waves.

This is a high-density protective light curtain that Mu Wangzhuo manually arranged around the original star by compressing the energy amplitude.

Just as the pale blue halo expanded, another bullet pierced through the center of the halo and shot in the opposite direction along the trail left by the previous bullet.

The hothead hired thugs who, after firing the previous bullet, thought they had victory in their grasp and proudly raised their heads. Unexpectedly, the next second, they were pierced through the forehead and died without even realizing it.

In other words, Yuan Jianxing accurately determined the location of the enemy who fired the shot simply by looking at the bullet remnants that were neutralized on the light screen, and then perfectly and neatly killed the opponent with just a flick of his wrist.

If before, some people thought that the first guy to recognize Hara Mihoshi was giving false information, after this shot, no one had any doubts anymore.

No one wanted to attempt to "take the enemy general's head from among ten thousand troops".

After completing the installation of the remaining six ropes, watching the fleeing mercenaries, Yuan Jianxing grabbed one of the ropes with one hand to stabilize himself, and pressed the other hand to the communicator next to his ear to broadcast a report on the public channel: "The carriage is installed and ready to be moved at any time."

As the heavy loader gradually lifted the truck, all twelve ropes tightened, and the large armored truck bed, which had been sitting like a mountain on the semi-trailer, along with the armored truck itself, began to slowly lift off the ground.

At this point, Fu Ze, who had the best vantage point for the audience, finally stood up straight at a leisurely pace, crossed his fingers and flipped them forward, then turned and sat in the car.

"Why not stay in a nice office and enjoy the air conditioning? Why do you insist on going to such a dangerous scene and making such a show of it? If you're not the chief, who is?" He looked at Yuan Jianxing, who was still standing on the carriage, and laughed as he muttered to himself.

As Fu Ze operated the device, the Demon Lizard 757, which had been as cold-blooded as a cold animal, began to heat up.

The sixteen-cylinder engines on the side section started up one by one, beginning to power this performance monster and the various accessories installed on it.

After the "Ready" sign popped up on the screen, Fu Ze first aimed the viewfinder used to mark the target at Yuan Jianxing.

"It's been so long, I miss you terribly."

Okay, not for a long time, and not really wanting to.

Then, with a hint of regret, Fu Ze shifted the viewfinder and focused on the marker point he actually needed to break through.

"This is just a small return gift, hardly enough to express my respect. I hope you don't like it."

This time, it was his turn to ambush Yuan Jianxing!

*

Although the situation had stabilized, Hara Mihoshi's sixth sense told him that the greatest danger had not yet been resolved.

However, thanks to the clearing operation by the V City executives, the current transportation hub, along with the weapons that most hired thugs can obtain, is now devoid of anyone other than the executives.

unless……

Yuan Jianxing suddenly looked up at the top of the building where the Demon Lizard 757 had been parked.

The instant he turned his head, a dark shadow flashed past his eyes and hurtled straight toward the carriage beneath his feet.

After hearing a slightly strange impact sound, Yuan Jianxing realized that the enemy's core target was the connection between the armored vehicle and the armored compartment.

Upon realizing this, an inopportune question suddenly popped into Yuan Jianxing's mind.

Even an ordinary person with only basic common sense would never dare to start from the most solidly designed part after seeing the solid structure of the connection between the transport vehicles, right?

Unsurprisingly, after a very faint, strange noise, the environment returned to calm.

If it were anyone else, they might have quickly forgotten about it as a minor incident, but Yuan Jianxing was different.

He didn't believe that someone who could remain calm and focused amidst the chaos of battle, choosing to remain hidden until all competitors were defeated, would make such a basic mistake.

So he abandoned his plan to return to the heavy loader and, with only a safety rope attached, began to walk on the slightly swaying carriage, trying to find the enemy's real target.

He quickly followed a faint, almost inaudible metallic pulling sound to the front of the car.

Realizing what was happening, Yuan Jianxing didn't hesitate to fire at the several dark figures on the vehicle and commanded Mu Wangzhuo over the channel, "Descent! Now!"

However, it was too late.

Just then, the previously faint noise suddenly became louder, and then the entire front of the transport vehicle suddenly tilted down, looking exactly like a fish head that had been chopped off by the fishmonger, with only a layer of skin sticking to the fish's body.

The difference is that the front of this car is very heavy, extremely heavy.

The "fish skin" is also very sturdy, exceptionally sturdy.

The act of "using one's own spear to attack one's own shield" usually ends in a lose-lose situation.

This statement still applies in the current context.

The armored truck that had survived the hail of bullets was now being torn open by the engine, looking like a tin can!

Seeing this scene and considering the true nature of the dark figure, Yuan Jianxing suddenly realized—

It turns out the other person wasn't ignorant; they were all too knowledgeable!

That dark shape was actually a group of small-scale intelligent engineering robots.

Once launched and in contact with the vehicle body, they immediately disintegrated from their huddled state and began to dismantle the pre-set targets, each performing its own function.

The point that was pre-marked and loaded into their programs was one of the connections between the locomotive and the carriage.

Despite the extremely robust structure and exceptionally solid materials used in the design of the escort vehicle, the once impregnable structure developed some weaknesses during the previous fierce attack on the L City executives by hired thugs.

The other party also precisely chose this position, bypassing the still intact hinges, and added reinforcements to the weak points around it as if the wall was collapsing.

Think outside the box. Why fight over food when you can just grab the plate?

With such a starting point, all subsequent destruction proceeded as smoothly as a skilled butcher dissecting an ox.

Plastic packaging that is tightly compressed on all sides is often difficult to open, but once a hole is made in the top, even a child who has just learned to control their fingers can easily tear it completely.

Not to mention that what's involved in tearing up the packaging these days isn't some child, but the front of a car weighing several tons!

After the drooping front of the car tore open the bottom of the carriage through the opening created by the engineering robot, the powerful magnetic restraint system inside the carriage, which weighed tens of tons, began to tilt, officially joining the attack in a "when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down" manner.

The thumb-sized screws that were originally fixed to the bottom of the carriage deformed and broke under the force far exceeding the design load-bearing capacity.

After losing the last screw, the magnetic restraint system suddenly tumbled and crashed to the ground, its tens of tons smashing a huge crater into the smooth concrete floor, raising a large amount of coarse cement dust and choking fumes.

Fortunately, the backup energy deep within the restraint system remained undamaged throughout the entire engagement, and Snake Eyes remained suspended in the air, his limbs still bound by shackles.

"Ouch! Damn it!" Snake Eyes yelled and cursed as he spat out cement dust that was being poured into his mouth and nose. "If you can't do any work, go home and fetch some dung! You'll make my grandpa die!"

Hearing him swear so rudely, Yuan Jianxing subjectively concluded that the man was not injured.

After ordering the officers to surround and protect Snake Eyes, he steadied himself in the violently rocking carriage, which resembled a pirate ship, and quickly assessed the current situation.

The backup power source inside this strong magnetic restraint system can only be used for half an hour.

With the existing executive personnel and the surviving equipment in the transfer hub, there is absolutely no way to transfer this strong magnetic restraint system to the other surviving escort cars in such a short time.

Moreover, this lurking danger is like a leech, ready to launch a second sneak attack at any time.

The target of these two sneak attacks was probably not the transport vehicle, but Snake Eyes himself.

After weighing various internal and external factors, Yuan Jianxing issued the latest instruction after several deliberations: "Remove the strong magnetic restraint system and replace the prisoners with regular electronic shackles."

He had to take Snake Eyes away as quickly as possible.

Using the last remaining listening system inside the engineering robot, which had been almost completely destroyed by Yuan Jianxing's gunfire, Fu Ze keenly caught Yuan Jianxing's latest instructions, and his eyes lit up.

Okay, okay!

After countless hardships, the most important part of this prison break has finally arrived!

It's time for him to step in!
