"Brother Xiao, something's not right. Why did it suddenly go silent?" came Number Five's voice.

There had been no movement at the back door for several minutes. This was not the calm that followed when the attack stopped; on the contrary, it carried a strange feeling, which made Number Five somewhat suspicious.

Before, you could still hear a faint sound from the back door, at least a little noise around your ears, but now there's nothing at all.

This situation inevitably raised doubts for Number Five.

Similarly, Mike also said that it was too quiet outside, not like it used to be.

"Is it always like this?" Luo Chen replied.

At this moment, Luo Chen also felt a little suspicious. The voice that had come out of the walkie-talkie earlier was now inexplicably silent, which made Luo Chen wonder if the other party was up to something.

"Old Wu, how about you over there?"

After a while, Wu Hao replied, "We haven't found anything yet. Let's go check the other side now."

Just then, Luo Chen stared down at the darkness below, the silence eerily profound.

Should I switch to a channel? Should I start a conversation?

Clues began to appear in Luo Chen's mind.

A glint flashed in Luo Chen's eyes, and he instantly understood everything.

"Old Wu, go check the left side of the back door, hurry, someone's probably gone there." Luo Chen quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and said anxiously.

He then urged Mike and Number Five, "You two, quickly prepare for battle to prevent them from taking advantage of the chaos to break in."

These words were spoken so quickly that Mike and Number Five hadn't had time to react, but fortunately, both of them were experienced enough that they weren't delayed.

The two quickly prepared themselves, waiting for the people outside to rush in.

Meanwhile, Luo Chen, wielding a sniper rifle, began searching the entire rest area.

If you're not careful, a lot of trouble could happen.

Upon hearing Luo Chen's instructions, Wu Hao quickly gathered five or six people around him and started running towards the left side of the back door.

"Lina, check if anyone's coming in through the back door on the left, hurry!" Wu Hao shouted anxiously into the walkie-talkie as he ran.

At this moment, if they suddenly broke in, we would likely be completely surrounded.

If the other side doesn't sacrifice a single person, and you expect them to deal with this with such a small force, then the solution could very well lead to a complete defeat.

"I... I didn't notice. All the surveillance cameras are broken. They're all going to be destroyed." Lina was sweating profusely, her eyes constantly searching the large screen, but the surveillance cameras that had previously covered everything were now completely useless.

While Lina was still anxiously searching, Wu Hao had already encountered the enemy.

Bang bang bang!

The gunshot instantly shattered the nearly half-hour silence that had been maintained between the two sides.

Wu Hao nervously shouted into the walkie-talkie, "I've encountered them here. Two of them have already sneaked in, and the others haven't caught up yet."

"How is it? How is the situation?" Mike and Number Five asked simultaneously.

But just as they finished speaking, a burst of gunfire erupted from outside the door.

"They've come in on a large scale." After delivering this message, Mike didn't follow up.

The rest area instantly erupted into another gunfight.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

The continuous gunfire never stopped, creating a huge commotion in the more distant center.

If someone were to pass by on the road outside at this moment, they would surely marvel at whether this place had been blessed by heavenly lightning.

“Xiao, I’ve held them off for now, but we only killed one. The other one escaped. You…”

"Don't worry about him, I'll go back to find him. You guys just keep watch over there," Luo Chen said slowly, then set up his sniper rifle and began to survey the entire rest area.

"Found you. Did you think I wouldn't find you just because you were hiding in the darkness?" Luo Chen smiled slightly, chambered a bullet, and aimed at a tree.

With a bang, the Barrett's penetrating power instantly pierced through the entire tree trunk, and a figure slowly fell to the ground.

He might not even know why he was suddenly killed until his death, but that was the truth, in Luo Chen's sight.

Even in the darkness, he could easily spot the other side from such a high vantage point.

Moreover, at this point, the people still walking around below are unlikely to be from their side.

"Wu Hao, I've taken care of the one who escaped. Be careful over there, don't let them break through." Luo Chen said into the walkie-talkie.

But Wu Hao's voice didn't come over immediately. Luo Chen looked in Wu Hao's direction, where a fierce battle was taking place.

It wasn't completely over yet.

However, after the enemy appeared on the left side of the wall, Luo Chen noticed that the gunfire from number five's side was much quieter.

Luo Chen's guess was correct; the other party had indeed transferred the people from the back to that location.

This also means that the other side does not intend to launch a full-scale attack for the time being. Although Luo Chen did not know the other side's intentions, he also understood that it would not be good for them to go out rashly at this time.

Having figured this out, Luo Chen was no longer in a hurry.

However, this has become a critical issue for the personnel guarding the front lines.

At the front gate, there was still a machine gun mounted, capable of withstanding the fierce attack from the other side.

Despite the immense firepower, both sides displayed an unwavering resolve.

John's men kept trying to rush in and take out the people inside with machine guns, but every time they charged, they were covered by a barrage of fire.

Faced with such a defense, no matter how many of John's teammates there were, or how much difference there was in individual skill, there was nothing they could do.

After all, sometimes, with a machine gun in control at a crossroads, one person can hold off enemies from all three sides.

This highlights the importance of perseverance, but more importantly, it comes down to firepower.

Clearly, John hadn't expected this; subconsciously, he had completely underestimated the other side.

He felt he didn't need to make any more plans or devise any more ideas; he could just jump right in.

Unfortunately, he didn't consider one question: at this moment, what makes you think you can be so bold as to rush over?

"Hahahaha, you son of a bitch, come on again, are you scared now?" Mike laughed wildly, as if the anger he had been suppressing was being released with the speed of the bullets.

Under his arrangement, a machine gun was mounted in the middle, with four people guarding each side, and two more people guarding each side of the gate to prevent the other side from suddenly rushing down from the wall.

A mere dozen or so men directly halted the charge of John's thirty-odd men.

As for why John and his men didn't use grenades or RPGs to bombard the enemy directly...

There are reasons for this, of course. The most important reason is that Mike did a great job. He had already pushed the sandbags very high, and he had searched around the rest area for a long time beforehand.

All available iron or rotating parts were added.

It formed a crescent-shaped fortress, but of course, there was a gap at the back.

For machine guns, you can just cut a hole in the middle.

It was precisely for this reason that John had already realized that there was no point in him firing directly.

The most obvious problem is the waste of ammunition.

There's no doubt that large mercenary groups have no shortage of ammunition, but the problem is that they don't carry much at all.

"Damn it, damn it, why would they build such a fortification? How do these mercenaries have such abilities?" John stomped his feet angrily. He had never expected this situation and couldn't understand why the other side would build such a defensive fortification.

More importantly, this fortification blocked the entrance directly, which was like a mountain to John and his men.

Before this, John and his men had no idea that the iron gate was destroyed. It was only when the second round of battle began that they suddenly discovered the situation inside.

One can imagine how grim their expressions must have been.

"Hahaha, Xiao, your method is simply invincible! I can't imagine how you came up with it." Mike shouted excitedly to Luo Chen as he watched his opponent suffer a setback.

"It's alright. After all, they don't have any more big ones. They probably ran out of resources during the previous bombing, so they don't dare to use them now."

“Mike, but you still have to be careful not to let them find any loopholes. Make sure the people guarding both sides are on high alert so that this makeshift fortress can be used to its fullest potential.”

"Don't worry, Xiao. At least for now, there are no problems. As long as nothing unexpected happens in other positions, I believe that based on the current offensive, we can hold out for more than an hour."

"Oh, right, send some more ammunition up; we're almost out."

Luo Chen smiled faintly and replied, "No problem, I'll arrange for someone to deliver it to you right now. Just remember one thing: at this point, we only need to defend, but don't let your guard down."

Then Luo Chen called out to Lina, "Lina, send someone to deliver some ammunition to the front gate as soon as possible."

They could hear the entire channel, but only Luo Chen and Wu Hao could contact Lina.

Lina's role is to investigate the situation in this direction and provide timely intelligence if any other discoveries are made.

However, having learned her lesson from the previous incident on the left side of the wall, Lina was much more focused this time.

Of course, Mu Shanhai and the others nearby were also doing their best to assist.

"If we just hold out for a while longer, the other side won't be in such a hurry to fight head-on." Luo Chen was constantly paying attention to the situation in all directions.

It's worth mentioning that Luo Chen and his team did an excellent job of defense, but one thing is certain: neither side paid a heavy price.

Even John and his men did not suffer heavy losses in terms of personnel.

It seems they also understand that they won't risk everything at this point.

“John, this won’t do. We’ll suffer a great loss. We need to make adjustments as soon as possible. We’ve roughly figured out the situation inside.”
