Tang Ji accurately shot out the dome light and headlight of the off-road vehicle. At this distance, his shooting accuracy was so intimidating that the driver of the off-road vehicle almost immediately stepped on the brakes.
Four armed men, including the driver, immediately got out of the car and opened fire directly, covering the area where Tang Ji was.
Tang Ji dragged Kones to rely on the 'Wild Wolf' as a cover, and threw a heat source smoke bomb. Both sides were equipped with thermal imaging, so they could only use this method to block the line of sight.
But the other party has the advantage. They are here to silence them, while Tang Ji only has one person, and he also brings a burden.
The four-person team cooperated meticulously and suppressed Tang Ji behind the bunker, unable to move. This was not a shock gun in the prison, but a full-power bullet.
The sturdy "Wild Wolf" off-road vehicle can only rely on the bearing part to withstand bullets, and the rest of the vehicle is passed through the body like tofu.
"Head, I checked the explosion site. There are no bodies. Militants from unknown forces are withdrawing." A message came from the Saint: "Support you, or delay their withdrawal?"
"Delaying their evacuation, I can handle it." Tang Ji checked Kones's injuries and fixed his hands and feet with restraint rings. He didn't want the most critical person to escape after a melee.
Tang Ji roughly determined the position of the four-man group by the sound of gunfire, and they maintained a V-shaped formation and advanced at a constant speed.
There is a central commander left in the bottom corner. There are two people on the right arm, who are responsible for the strong side's attack, while there is only one person on the left arm, who is responsible for outflanking the weak side.
Tang Ji pulled off the safety of the grenade, counted down three counts, and threw the grenade from the bottom of the car like a bowling ball. The grenade rolled on the ground for more than 20 meters, and when he got close to the weak-side player of the opponent's formation,
, which happened to explode.
After a scream, a gap in the fire suppression from the right side suddenly appeared. Tang Ji left Cornes alone, sprinted out with the last embers of the heat source smoke bomb, and hid on the roadbed.
Now Tang Ji is hiding in the dark and has an advantage. He has a chance to make a surprise attack, 1V3.
This is not a street shootout, but a real small-scale war. Both sides are equipped with complete tactical equipment, evenly matched, and accept the impending death calmly.
Tang Ji first discovered the wounded man affected by the grenade in the darkness. The opponent's protective equipment blocked most of the shrapnel, but the impact damage still made him dizzy.
The other party was picking up an injection and piercing the injection port on his neck. They were equipped with heavy body armor with neck protection.
Tang Ji took the lead. He sprinted to get closer to the opponent to a distance of less than seven meters. He threw out his right hand from his waist and shot through the opponent's helmet.
At this distance, the prelude strengthened by [Revolver Revival] can stably penetrate the opponent's protective equipment.
Tang Ji didn't have time to check the body. He ran all the way and threw a heat source smoke bomb again, artificially creating a visual obstruction. In Tang Ji's rehearsal, this smoke bomb should have just covered the opponent's commander in the bottom corner.
He had to rely on speed to catch the opponent off guard, so before the smoke completely dissipated, Tang Ji stood up and sprinted towards the possible direction of the target.
In the yellow smoke, Tang Ji saw a dark figure, and the other party also heard his footsteps, but at this distance, Tang Ji's revolver was more powerful. He fell backwards and slid past.
One shot hit the opponent in the abdomen.
After Tang Ji fired, the other party's gun had time to point at him, but it was too late. The prelude bullet shattered the body armor on the target's abdomen, but failed to penetrate the back layer of body armor from the back. The bullets went back and forth inside the body armor.
It ejected several times, tearing apart most of the target's abdominal cavity.
All this happened in an instant, with blood and internal organ fragments spurting out from the hole as big as the mouth of a bowl, as if someone had a party inside the body armor.
Tang Ji grabbed the target's body with force, and using the momentum of the charge, he threw the body in the direction of the team's strong double team. The next second, the sound of gunfire sounded.
Both men opened fire. This was a fatal mistake. They were scared. Losing two companions one after another in the dark made them nervous.
For the current Tang Ji, this opportunity was enough for him to end the battle. Tang Ji suddenly jumped out from the other direction. The muzzles of the two gunmen were now facing the direction of the previous corpse, and there was no time to turn around.
Boom!
Boom!
There were two consecutive gunshots, and the prelude turned around on Tang Ji's index finger and inserted the gun back into the holster.
Tang Ji whistled. He hadn't had such a high-quality close-range gunfight for a long time. The excitement was comparable to the life-threatening battle with Losas' superhuman that night.
The night wind blew by, and the scene that had been so hot before finally became quiet. There were only the crackling sounds of smoke bombs releasing smoke and the crackling sounds of burning vehicles.
"Cough...cough..." A sudden and inaudible cough came from behind Tang Ji. Like a nimble civet cat, Tang Ji made a tactical roll and hid behind the off-road vehicle driven by a team of four.
Judging from the sound, Tang Ji determined that the place where the coughing sound came from was the commander of the team he had just knocked down.
After confirming that there were no new attacks, Tang Ji slowly moved to the location where he killed the commander before.
As expected, there was only a pool of blood and debris on the ground.
Tang Ji followed the gradually fading blood stains and found the commander who had climbed down the roadbed twenty meters away.
"Recovered from cancer? Are you a naturalized person?" Tang Ji kicked the commander over and at the same time dodged the opponent's pistol shot.
The bullets grazed his helmet and flew into the sky. The commander's right hand held a pistol, which was still weak after being fired.
"You're... right..." When the commander spoke, his stomach was still leaking. If the bullet hadn't been refracted back and forth in the body armor, he would have recovered by now.
Thinking of this, Tang Ji didn't care to talk nonsense with him, and shot several times along the thigh to break the opponent's right leg, and then ran like the wind in the direction of the first victim he shot.
However, the other person was still lying there very quietly. His head was smashed, and there was no trace of flesh and blood recovery.
But the next two armed men on the strong side gave Tang Ji some trouble. When Tang Ji arrived, one of them had already gotten up from the ground, but the hole in his chest made him unable to hold the gun.
Unstable.
A few minutes later, Tanguy placed three wounded people and a corpse side by side next to Cornes. A total of five people were lying on the road, with burning vehicles on both sides adding to the atmosphere.
"How many of you are here in total? Who is your employer?" Tang Ji squatted next to the commander and raised his face with a dagger: "How many people have gained the ability to recover from cancer with you?"
The commander spat on the ground and said nothing.
"Maybe you don't know much about your ability. This ability will not restore your body out of thin air, but will consume energy." After Tang Ji and Anthony confirmed in the headset that no one else was approaching, they prepared to have a live battle.
interrogation.
"First it's the food you eat tonight, then it's fat, and then it's your muscles. If it's not replenished, it will eat whatever it wants, and eventually you will become an unconscious tumor." Tang Jibi measured.
He picked up an object the size of a watermelon: "It's about that big."
Tang Ji's words failed to scare the three battle-hardened mercenaries, and they still lowered their heads and remained silent.
"How many people do you have? Who is the employer? What is the mission?" Tang Ji fired every time he asked a question.
Three people, three questions, three bullets, all shot in the liver. Without the protection of body armor, Prelude could easily open a half-moon-shaped gash in their abdomens.
The only discordant thing was that there were only two screams. One of the people who was hit had white foam coming out of the corner of his mouth. After a few blows, there was no movement.
"It doesn't matter. I understand if you don't believe me, but you will soon find out that I didn't lie." Tang Ji squatted down again and asked the commander: "Your number, employer and mission objectives."
The commander's face became visibly thinner, and the constant hunger made him realize that the man in front of him was not lying.
Tang Ji took out a high-protein bar and placed it in front of the commander: "Look, it can almost provide you with the energy to grow a finger. Can this buy what I want to know?"
"We are the Abisos mercenary group." The mercenary behind Tang Ji finally said: "Who are you?"
"Shut up!" the commander shouted. Tang Ji raised his hand and shot him. The prelude of the bullet directly shattered the commander's head.
"The worries are solved, now tell me everything you know." Tang Ji squatted in front of the mercenary: "Then I will let you go, think about your new abilities, and then think about your future. You could have had
A better result, isn’t it?”
The mercenary looked around. The two corpses with their heads smashed made Tang Ji's words particularly convincing.
"There are a total of sixteen of us, and only four of us have gained this kind of resilience. This is our advance payment for this operation." After the mercenary spoke, there was no longer any psychological burden: "We have been employed by the company for a long time.
Lily Sanatorium.”
"Lily Sanatorium?" Tang Ji was somewhat impressed by the name. It was a sanatorium located on the outskirts of Night City. It treated patients with various mental illnesses and received a large subsidy from the city government every year.
"Yes, they pay us to protect those patients. Every once in a while, they will take the patients out for a few months. We will be responsible for the safety of the patients when they are transported back and forth." The mercenary explained happily: "This time is extra.
As for the mission, they want us to kill two people from the Luan Dao Gui."
"Unfortunately, we met you. You are a monster. It seems that you know this ability better than us..." the mercenary explained nonchalantly, trying to cover up his little actions behind the scenes.
Tang Ji could clearly hear the sound of the safety pin being pulled out of the grenade. He had already searched the bodies of several mercenaries before, but they still found a way to move the grenade under Tang Ji's nose.
"As mercenaries, you are really loyal." Tang Ji suddenly fell to the ground, holding the commander's body in front of him.
boom!
The grenade exploded behind the mercenary. At the last moment, he turned around with all his strength, trying to maximize the damage of the grenade.
Judging from the level of proficiency, this is by no means the first time that this group of mercenaries has used this method of common death to trick people.
Tang Ji left the commander's body still on the ground and checked the self-destruction man. His arms were broken and his whole body was almost cut off from the waist.
But every bit of flesh and blood at the wound is constantly proliferating, trying to put the broken human body back together again.
The dead warriors trained by the naturalized people? Tang Ji frowned. This proved that either the lurker player he had always suspected had been in contact with the naturalized forces, or the naturalized people had obtained higher authority.
No matter which one, the strength of the naturalized people increased rapidly.
"There is a car heading in your direction. From the outside, it looks like it is with the previous group of armed men. Do you want to intercept it?" Anthony passed over Tang Ji's head again.
Tang Ji wanted to fish here, but the person hidden behind Cornes never took the bait, so Tang Ji had no choice but to stop.
"Kill them, and then we retreat." Tang Ji gave the order decisively.
A few kilometers away, accompanied by a series of explosions and the sound of machine gun fire, several balls of fire shot into the sky.
Three minutes later, the tilt-rotor aircraft driven by Anthony landed slowly beside the road. Tang Ji carried the mercenary's half-broken body with one hand and Kones with the other and walked into the cabin.
"At least I didn't come back empty-handed this time." Tang Ji took an incendiary bomb from Martin's hand, turned around and threw it into the pile of corpses. Soon the hot flames ignited the clothes on the corpse, followed by the hair and skin.
, muscles, and even bones.
Suddenly a corpse sat up in the pile of corpses, let out an inhuman howl, and pointed at the plane where Tang Ji was.
But soon, the body lost its movement, and the wind and waves caused by the takeoff of the tilt-rotor aircraft were blown all over the ground like soot from burning embers.
"What's going on?" Martin scratched his head. He had been fighting for more than ten years and had never seen anything so strange.
"You will gradually get used to it in the future." Tang Ji pointed at the mercenary who was no different from a corpse in the cabin: "Keep an eye on him and give him something to eat when he wakes up. I have something else to ask him."
Martin looked at the mercenaries on the ground and fell into deep doubt. For the first time, he felt that he was about to be eliminated by the new war situation.
When the tilt-rotor aircraft returned to the direction of the Chariot Club's camp to pick up the saints, they passed by the convoy that had been attacked before, and several mercenaries covered in fire were dragging bodies out of the car wreckage.
They just opened fire at the rotorcraft covered in flames, and even launched a missile, but fortunately Anthony easily got rid of it.
From now on, Tang Ji must be prepared to face all superhuman enemies.
"Where am I?" Cornes finally opened his eyes, looked at the people around him and asked in confusion: "You saved me? Lance...where is Lance?"
"He is dead. Who told you in advance that someone is coming to attack you?" Tang Ji asked: "Who is helping you secretly?"
"I don't know... someone called me and transferred 10,000 federal coins to me, and then Lance and I made some arrangements as he said..." Cornes looked at it with some fear.
Tang Ji: "You know, we've been having a rough time recently, so there's nothing to lose in making more preparations..."
