This kind of exhaustion is not only physical, but also mental.
Physically, I still feel a bit weak because of the last search.
The psychological impact is more about feeling helpless and incomprehensible towards those bad people.
He understood many principles: where there are interests, there is a world of intrigue; and where there is intrigue, there are feuds.
But those are just words, or scenes from movies.
When these realities were experienced firsthand in his own life, he realized for the first time that reality is indeed cruel and very real.
Hovering above the Kentucky mine, Gao Gao rested his chin on his hand, patiently waiting for the performance of those below.
With him around, no innocent people should get into trouble.
The reason he hasn't taken action now to deal with those three mercenary teams is mainly because he wants to see how those robots actually operate.
The mini-program that he and Qian Sui created for them did not involve any combat elements.
They only enhanced the robots' consciousness, but now the higher-ups have exposed these things ahead of time. Does this mean that they had already conducted research in this area and just happened to use his Dragon Brain No. 1 to optimize, improve, and put it into practice?
When I'm in a bad mood, Gao Yuan becomes too lazy to move.
Before, he would just stay home and sleep or play games, but now that his brother's safety on the plateau is threatened, he can't sleep anymore, so he'll just watch the show from the sky.
Just like in the movie, at 4:30 a.m., the three groups launched their attack.
The Black Serpent mercenary squad was wiped out, but the specific details were not revealed.
So these people still naively thought that they had encountered local Kenyan soldiers and, at most, some domestic security forces from the Eastern Kingdom.
Through observation using infrared equipment, they have determined the exact number of people inside the mine, while the number of security personnel scattered around is not large.
These few security personnel are all staying in the bunker...
"Isn't the East Korean Army supposed to be the best in the world? Is this all?"
One of the foreigners in one of the squads, observing the situation through an infrared instrument, spat disdainfully.
"These are all retired soldiers or recruited from other places. How can they be considered part of the East Korean Army? Besides, is army group operations on the same level as this security?"
An older man retorted.
If he were facing the East Korean army, he would definitely run away without saying a word. There was no other reason than that his ancestors had fought in that war and ended up slinking back to their hometown in disgrace...
In his father's words: "That is a nation that cannot be trifled with, a nation that cannot be killed. One day, this nation will stand at the top of the world!"
He didn't think the old man's words were very accurate; the development of Dongguo in recent years was indeed quite surprising.
However, he was a little unconvinced when he was told that they would stand at the top of the world.
"A nation that claims to 'stand at the top of the world' but can't even protect its own factories—that's just how it is..."
The old man muttered to himself as he began fiddling with the buttons in his hand.
The Black Serpent mercenary squad is gone, but they thought it was just an isolated incident.
Besides, it's fortunate that they're gone, otherwise the 50 million gold coin would have gone to them instead.
"The Black Snakes are a bunch of good-for-nothing bastards. They only killed five or six people. They're too weak."
"Exactly, we're going to pull off something big this time. I've heard that people from the East value human life a lot, so these people should be worth a lot of money, right?"
"Would they pay 1 million gold coins per person?"
"You definitely won't know how at first, but you'll get it after killing a few. I've done this before."
"Then we're going to strike it rich! There are over a hundred people in here!"
Through their headsets, the group had already begun planning how to divide the bounty.
"Don't think too much about it. Let's finish these things first. Also, get the big guys ready. Someone else is going to try and steal our meat!"
"Don't worry, these are all ours, and no one can take them away."
...
The attack team was already gearing up, while Gao Yuan and the others were sound asleep in their blankets.
The notice they received stated that they were not allowed to leave their dorm rooms after dark.
A few of them had drunk some alcohol and couldn't sleep.
Judging from the literal meaning of this notice, who knows what other big event might take place tonight.
Fearing they wouldn't be able to sleep, the group gritted their teeth and each downed more than half a jin of Moutai, then fell into a deep, drunken sleep.
Ignoring everything else is the best policy; who cares about anything else?
...
At 4:50 a.m., the attack officially began.
As if it had been pre-arranged, the three mercenary squads launched a siege attack on the mine from three different directions.
There was no sound, no large-scale explosion.
All of them were silent attacks.
Professional hand signals, sophisticated equipment, and multiple drones overhead for command...
Everything went so smoothly; the three teams swarmed through like locusts, unstoppable in their path.
Unfortunately, they encountered no resistance along the way.
There wasn't even a single landmine, let alone a single person.
"Captain, something's not right."
One of the assault soldiers, holding a submachine gun issued to the mountain marines, hesitated.
They are all specially trained, so if they still can't see that something is wrong at this point, it can only mean that they have a problem with their intelligence.
"Something's not right. Where is everyone?"
"There are people in the bunker, but... we have to blow it up!"
"Then explode!"
One of the team members grabbed a bag and ran toward the bunker.
When he was about five meters away from the bunker, the bunker door opened.
The door opened from underground, and the rumbling sound attracted the attention of most people.
Besides this bunker, the doors to several other bunkers in different locations were also opened.
"Something's up, be on alert!"
"Come on, we've been waiting for so long, are we finally ready to unleash our killing spree?"
Unfortunately, their joy was short-lived; they were so frightened by the enormous figure they saw that they stood frozen in place.
"What the hell is this thing?"
"Is this a mecha or a robot?"
"What kind of intelligence did those bastards provide? Such important information, and nobody even reported it?"
"Damn it, I'm going to fuck the intelligence chief's ass as hell when I get back!"
"Fire! Fire!"
The clanging and banging sounds were incessant, and the darkness before dawn in the entire mine was finally broken by the firelight.
The mine is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has only one entrance.
The three mercenary squads launched a surprise attack from the entrance.
And those bunkers, unfortunately, were positioned right at the entrance, completely blocking their way.
"These guys seem to only know how to take a beating, they don't know how to fight back!"
"Yeah, he looks like a block of wood. Is he just trying to scare people?"
"I guess it's just to discourage us. I've never heard of any great inventions from the East."
"Didn't they have this Dragon Brain No. 1 thing a while ago? Could this be their new weapon?"
"Come on, it hasn't been that long. Besides, I bet that Dragon Brain No. 1 is all a hoax. The Eastern Kingdom people are just putting on a show! We in the Mountain Kingdom haven't even figured it out yet, so what makes the Eastern Kingdom think they can?"
After attacking for a while, the three mercenary squads calmed down.
Their goal is money, not to fight over these scrap steel pieces.
"This is a mine jointly developed by Kenya and East Korea. All unauthorized personnel are requested to leave immediately, otherwise we will take legitimate self-defense measures!"
"Repeat, this is..."
This sound was repeated three times.
Although it sounds scary, it doesn't deter these money-seeking gamblers who live on the edge.
With a "boom," an impatient guy fired an RPG directly towards the bunker, where the robot was located.
And so, the battle began again.
This time, in addition to the attack by the three mercenary teams, the robots finally began their counterattack.
The arms, which had been hanging down, were raised, and the wrists were replaced by a round gun barrel.
The cross-section of the wrist reveals a ring of small, dark holes.
"Da da da"
As the small holes rotated, a remarkably crisp sound rang out.
"Goodness, these people are still so simplistic and crude, they changed it to this?"
High above, Gao Feng shook his head as he looked down at the intense artillery fire of the robots below.
He thought he could modify the robot into an invincible mode that could fly and disappear into the ground, but that's all?
Isn't it still conventional weapons versus conventional weapons?
Its only advantage is its robust build and durability, making it resistant to injury and allowing it to penetrate various dangerous locations...
While he was lost in thought up there, the battle below had turned into a one-sided slaughter.
Five robots, ten powerful Gatling guns...
The only downside is that bullets seem to be running out. We fire for a bit, then advance a little; we stop, then shout something…
"Your forces are now surrounded. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. We will treat those who surrender generously in accordance with international conventions. Anyone who continues to resist will bear the consequences!"
"Repeated: Your forces are now surrounded..."
Gao Ang was both amused and exasperated. Good heavens, five robots surrounding three teams of mercenaries, nearly a hundred people? Are you kidding me?
Will people take it seriously?
After all, they're all people who risk their lives.
Sure enough, the extremists hiding behind the bunkers began shouting and throwing various projectile weapons.
"You piece of junk, you piece of broken copper and scrap iron, die!"
"Bypass the bunker, attack from the flank, call for air support!"
Gao Ang watched the back-and-forth below, stunned: Good heavens.
He was speechless. He used to only watch modern weaponry battles on TV or in movies.
Now we are witnessing firsthand what real warfare with hot weapons looks like: bullets flying everywhere and the deafening explosions of various projectiles.
Fortunately, the bunker was some distance from the staff dormitory, so the aftershocks of the battle wouldn't harm Gaoyuan and the others.
The problem is, if their air support arrives, then things might not be so simple.
So far, Gao Feng has not made a move.
He also wanted to see just how effective these robots were in actual combat.
He wasn't the only one with this idea.
In a staff dormitory at the back, someone is monitoring the data and damage level of each robot in real time.
Similarly, at a mysterious base far away in Kyoto, the general and his men were also staying up all night, observing the first battle of the robot warfare.
"We need to meticulously record every piece of data, including the data transmitted back from the real-time sensors, and establish a special database for unified analysis by the strategic command and logistics support departments. At the same time, we need to communicate further with the Robotics Foundation to transfer a few experts to our robotics department..."
The officer issued orders methodically, while his attention remained focused on the night vision video feed transmitted in real time.
"Little guy, this toy of yours is really interesting."
There was an indescribable smile on the officer's face.
