Back home, Ji Xian released a small drone, which ascended to high altitude to begin the search.
They quickly spotted a group of people 20 kilometers away.
The group set up shelters and temporary shelters in a sparse grove of trees.
There were as many as fifty people.
Through careful observation and identification, it was found that more than 30 of these fifty-odd people were women and slaves.
That is, there were more than twenty combatants.
However, it cannot be ruled out that under special circumstances, slaves might be forced to become fighting forces.
The mecha-like armored weapons that Li Youmi mentioned are also present.
These are the fighting capabilities of this group of robbers.
After scouting the area, Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue took stock of their own weapons.
There are only two auto-aiming machine guns, three laser pistols, and one regular automatic pistol here.
Ji Xian was startled; the weapon was clearly insufficient.
He hadn't paid much attention to weapons, thinking that with what he had, he could protect himself on his way to and from City 1062, so he hadn't considered acquiring more.
He's had too many good days in the real world and has no sense of crisis.
They never imagined that the post-apocalyptic world would encounter large-scale battles.
Ji Xian asked in frustration, "Is it too late to go to the city to buy weapons now?"
Xia Luoxue said confidently, "That will definitely be too late, but don't worry, our defensive array is enough. As long as we lure them over, we can wipe them all out."
Ji Xian was pleasantly surprised, but still asked, "Are you sure you can eliminate so many of them?"
Xia Luoxue thought for a moment: "As long as they don't have coverage weapons, efficient detection weapons, and precision strike weapons, we can eliminate them."
"What if they have it?" Ji Xian asked. In war, one cannot rely on luck for the outcome.
Xia Luoxue said, "Then we're like mice in a box, easily trampled to death."
Li Youmi exclaimed, "What do we do then?"
Ji Xian thought for a moment: "We still have to fight, but we can't stay here. We need to evacuate."
"Evacuate?" Xia Luoxue didn't understand for a moment. "But our defensive formation is here."
Ji Xian said, "Isn't this defensive array supposed to be able to intelligently distinguish between friend and foe? Does that mean the defensive array will stop functioning once we leave?"
Xia Luoxue and Li Youmi suddenly realized.
Ji Xian then said, "Let's go and lure them into the formation."
“That works too…” Xia Luoxue had already agreed with Ji Xian’s strategy.
Li Youmi understood and immediately said, "Then I'll modify a device right now to attract them."
"Mm." Ji Xian nodded.
There are ways to fight when you have high-tech weapons, and there are ways to fight when you lack weapons.
They need to find something to distract the group of robbers.
Please step into the trap!
Li Youmi quickly modified a device that could project huge 3D images into the air.
This was actually a modified version of Charlotte's discarded bracelet.
The bracelet can project an image in the air above the arm. The projection isn't very big, about the size of a computer monitor screen. It's nice to see such a large image when using it as a phone, but it's too small to attract attention.
Therefore, Li Youmi has been equipped with super-strong LED lighting and special optical lenses, allowing the bracelet to project an image the size of a movie theater screen.
Li Youmi imported the footage from the surveillance camera showing her killing the short man and piercing through the tall man into the bracelet and made it play it on a loop.
"Alright, the projector is ready. We just need to mount it on the small drone," Li Youmi said.
Ji Xian nodded and recalled the small drone that had been flying in the air for reconnaissance.
Li Youmi installed the modified bracelet.
This small drone has a very poor load-bearing capacity. When Ji Xian bought it, he only considered reconnaissance missions. The drone was small and easy to retrieve and carry, without considering anything else.
Fortunately, Li Youmi used a modified bracelet as a 3D projector, and the small drone could still take off as usual after being equipped with this bracelet.
Small drones are launched into the air, projecting images the size of a movie theater screen, looping images of two people, one tall and one short, being hit.
Ji Xian then controlled the drone, directing it to fly towards the bandit gathering place 20 kilometers away.
"Alright, let's evacuate now. By the time we're safely evacuated, they should have arrived as well."
After Ji Xian finished speaking, the three of them left the house together.
They chose to retreat in the opposite direction from the bandit stronghold.
In this world, small drones can already transmit signals over distances of tens of kilometers. Even if they travel twenty kilometers away, they can still use the drones normally, so there's no need to worry about that.
The drone quickly reached the airspace above the bandits' encampment.
The video was playing above a sparse forest.
The bandits, who were driving slaves to build various fortifications, looked up and saw the images projected in the sky.
"Aren't those our people? They were attacked."
"Good heavens, this is provocation! They killed our men and still dare to come and show us videos!"
"Who are they? Let's kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"..."
All the bandits shouted and gathered around one person.
Their leader.
This is a one-eyed man, and in his useless eye is a fake eye that flashes red.
He also saw the projection played by the drone in the sky.
He remained silent until a noisy crowd gathered around him.
"Boss, look at the sky! It's a provocation, a blatant provocation! Let's attack!"
The one-eyed man remained silent, deep in thought.
