In an instant, Mike was completely stunned, as were his teammates.

What's going on?

Which deity came to save them?

In a daze, Mike only heard a rough voice, which seemed to be shouting to fire the cannon.

fire?

Why does that voice sound so familiar?

Just then, Mike and his teammates saw grenades flying over their heads and landing on the other side.

Boom boom boom!

A series of violent explosions instantly shattered the machine guns in the hands of the mercenaries on the other side.

The mercenaries on the other side had never seen anything like this before. There were several groups of them. Could it be that a whole regiment of soldiers had come to rescue Mike?

"That was awesome! That was awesome!" Luo Chen exclaimed repeatedly as he watched the bomb explode.

Throwing this thing over makes you feel refreshed.

"Hurry up, do you have any more?" Luo Chen looked at the car wheels opposite him, which had already been blown into the air by grenades, and was still not satisfied, even thinking of firing a few more.

He held his hand in the air for a long time, but no grenade was handed to him.

Luo Chen frowned, turned around and looked over, only to see Number Five shaking his head in grievance.

Once you start throwing, you don't stop; you throw all ten or so grenades that came with the frame.

Who can support a soldier like that?

"Brother Xiao, if you keep throwing them around like this, even a large mercenary group couldn't withstand your waste." Number Five muttered with a smirk.

"Uh..." Luo Chen awkwardly cracked his knuckles. He had gone a bit too far and hadn't been able to control himself for a moment.

It's like someone who claims they can control when a bullet is fired, but then when the time comes, it just shoots out.

"Alright, take a look at the situation on the other side?" Luo Chen quickly changed the subject. It had been a long time since he had fought such a well-funded battle, and he had lost control for a while.

Now that everything was much more comfortable, Luo Chen felt that everything was dull and tasteless, and instantly entered a state of sainthood.

"Brother Xiao, no need to look anymore, the enemy has been almost completely wiped out by your firepower." Number Five glanced through the night vision goggles, and the battle situation below instantly reversed.

Mike and his teammates were already cleaning up the mess.

"That's it? These people are so weak?" Luo Chen was somewhat surprised. This side was no good; they had no fighting power at all.

Number Five sighed helplessly, thinking to himself, "The other side is just a bunch of mercenaries, not a regular army like us. Besides, if we throw a dozen grenades and an RPG, unless they're all aliens, how can they withstand it?"

"Brother Xiao, you've always played high-level games. You've never dealt with these shady mercenaries before. They're just a bunch of rabble," Number Five complained, seemingly quite dissatisfied with Luo Chen's behavior.

"Hey kid, why are you being so hesitant? It's just a few bombs!" Luo Chen simply lay down on the ground, picked a blade of grass from the nearby bushes, and chewed it.

"So what if I didn't throw any grenades at you? You can go first next time." Luo Chen finally understood why Number Five was so angry. He had thrown all the grenades, leaving him with nothing to play with.

"Really? Then don't do that next time." Number Five quickly squatted down to loosen Luo Chen's shoulders.

Luo Chen glanced down and saw that Mike and the others had almost finished dealing with the remaining mercenaries. He had previously learned that there were many independent mercenaries in this world. These people were basically dismissed from their previous mercenary groups after committing crimes, which left them with no choice but to rely on robbery and the like to survive.

To put it bluntly, they were outlaws, but their combat abilities were all quite weak, and their weapons and equipment were all obtained through robbery. It was difficult for them to become members of a nearly mid-level mercenary group as soon as Luo Chen arrived in this world.

"Let's go, let's go down." Luo Chen spat out the dog's tail from his mouth, picked up his gun, and walked down.

At that moment, Mike also noticed what was happening behind him; he had just taken care of the other side's leader.

"Don't be nervous, we're on the same side," Mike told his teammates, then walked towards Luo Chen.

"Hey, Xiao, I knew it was you. On behalf of my teammates, I want to express my gratitude to you." Mike bowed slightly to Luo Chen with gentlemanly manners.

"It's alright. Actually, I didn't want to help you either, but considering your alcohol and cigarettes, I've decided to lend you a hand. After all, there are quite a few gentlemen like you in this world." Luo Chen smiled faintly, glancing at Mike's teammates behind him. There seemed to be only four or five people, one of whom appeared to be injured.

This number of people pleased Luo Chen, as it meant the opposing side posed no threat to him.

The two looked at each other, neither of them mentioning the matter of using each other.

"Are these people amateurs?" Luo Chen glanced at the corpses at his feet. Their equipment was haphazard and obviously cobbled together from various sources.

Mike sighed, nodded, and said, "We ran into them on the way back. Since our numbers were about the same, they followed us all the way. We exchanged fire several times, resulting in casualties on both sides. Luckily, you helped us this time, otherwise I'm afraid I would never have seen you again."

Luo Chen nodded and said calmly, "Your teammate seems to be injured. Go back and get treatment first. My team has a doctor who can help you."

"Leave a few people behind to clean up the battlefield, and take anything that can be used with them."

Mike, his face full of gratitude, helped his teammate all the way back to level ground.

[System: A hidden mission in the world of mercenaries has been triggered. Invite Mike to join you and ultimately complete the mission together.]

[Complete the task to earn a chance to change your life (book)]

Upon hearing the system's voice, Luo Chen froze on the spot, his previously relaxed expression vanishing in an instant.

Holy crap!

[Damn system, you're going to screw me over! What kind of ridiculous hidden quest is this?!]

[Does this mean I not only have to invite Mike, but also ensure his survival while completing the mission?]

"System, I xxxoooo you old bastard!"

"Xiao, what's wrong?" Mike asked, puzzled, when he saw Luo Chen suddenly stop and stand there in a daze.

"Ah, it's nothing." Luo Chen realized what was going on and tugged at his stiff lips. What was this all about? He should have known better than to save Mike.

[What a terrible mistake! Why did I have to make myself miserable?]

Luo Chen's heart was filled with rage and murderous intent. The reward was good, giving him a chance to change things, which was equivalent to having another chance to turn the tables in the book. However, Luo Chen's task had undoubtedly become more difficult.

"Are you interested in coming along? But I've also gotten myself into trouble. It's up to you whether you're willing to take this job. Of course, there will be payment." On the way, Luo Chen put the gun behind his head and hung his hands on it, speaking heavily.

Mike hesitated, after all, he didn't have many teammates left, and if they fought again, the situation would be very bad.
