Tang Ji covered the wound on his abdomen and walked toward the door step by step while holding on to the wall. He heard the explosion from the sky.
When he looked up, flames swept across the sky, turning the clouds red. Large pieces of drone debris fell to the ground with black smoke, shattering the glass of the surrounding buildings.
"Well done Ethan." Tang Ji laughed and raised his middle finger towards the Hydra soldiers who were close at hand: "I'm waiting for you here, come to me!"
The two Hydra soldiers who were less than fifteen meters away from the building did not move forward. They glanced at each other and then looked up at the flames in the sky, obviously realizing something.
"Keep going!" The officer who had been shot in the chest by Shadow had already recovered more than half of his body. He glanced at the connective tissue spreading from the wound with an ugly expression, but still issued the attack order.
"They plan to kill us all together!" A team commander was silent for two seconds and suddenly replied: "We can die in battle, but we cannot be used as cannon fodder. I refuse to carry out the order!"
"Me too!" Another Hydra soldier chose to resist. He looked at the blazing flames above his head, suddenly threw the weapon in his hand to the ground, turned around and disappeared behind a building.
"Don't you know the consequences of disobeying orders?" The officer looked at the soldiers who were stagnant, but no one obeyed his orders!
"The enemy is right in front of you. No matter what accident happens, complete this mission!" the officer continued to shout, trying to persuade his soldiers.
But even he knew very well that this was a useless effort. They were not an army loyal to a certain belief or having a common goal, but a group of high-level mercenaries.
The cohesion of Hydra comes from money. These soldiers can die on the way to complete the mission for commissions, but they will never regard death as life.
After realizing that the 'employer' could ignore the casualties of friendly forces this time for the death of the mission target, these soldiers began to slack off in their work.
They may not dare to directly confront the naturalized forces behind Hydra, but these people have many other ways to express their dissatisfaction.
For example, now, Tang Ji suddenly discovered that he had used Prelude, a revolver with only six bullets, to suppress the six fully armed Hydra soldiers in front of the building.
Especially the two nearest Hydras, they were less than fifteen meters away from Tang Ji. One was using a trash can as a cover, and the other was hiding behind the green belt, but they couldn't fire a single shot.
Tang Ji knew that their morale had collapsed and these people were no longer a threat.
"I stabilized Sirte's injury and now he can be transferred." Anthony brought good news: "He must undergo follow-up surgery within four hours. His injury is serious and he may need to replace artificial organs.
I don't know if that will affect his powers."
I'm afraid no one can answer the question Anthony raised. It's like the Ship of Theseus. No one knows where the alienation occurred that makes superhuman beings superhuman.
Is it the brain or the body? Is it the consciousness or the soul? If a superhuman is continuously replaced with artificial prosthetics through surgery, to what extent will he lose his superpowers?
After the replaced organs and limbs are reassembled, will they get a blank body with the same abilities?
If not, then where is the organ that activates the superpower? If it is possible, what is the boundary ratio?
The pioneers have done similar experiments, but the results are almost different and no real conclusions can be formed. It seems that each superhuman needs to be defined separately.
Their most successful achievements are the continuous replication of the ability [cancer recovery] and the world-changing medicine of Greedy Blood.
Specific to Sirte, we can only observe the results of subsequent surgeries.
Anthony carefully covered all of Sirte's wounds with biofilm to prevent massive bleeding and infection. It was not until Sirte's vital signs began to stabilize that he heaved a sigh of relief.
Even for an old military doctor like him, it is not easy to complete such first aid in such a place. After all, at the most intense moment just now, the enemy was only one flight of stairs away, not to mention that there were snake lizards outside.
Weapons platform.
After realizing that he could no longer command the soldiers to work hard, the officer gave the order to launch the attack to Basilisk-3 and other unmanned armed forces.
This is a helpless move. These things originally only played a supporting role, responsible for fire cover and battlefield blockade, but now they must play a main offensive role.
Tang Ji saw a Basilisk-3 moving to the front of the building, bypassing the Hydra soldiers, and aiming in the direction of the gate, but the next second it was hit by an electromagnetic bomb from the side.
"Shadow is back in place." Shadow still looked cold, as if he wasn't the one who was playing Extreme Battle Royale with those Hydra soldiers just now.
At this time, he was lying in the living room of a high-rise apartment next to him. The hostess's exquisite dining table was lifted to the window to serve as a shooting platform for the shadows.
The saint stood next to Shadow, using tweezers to remove the shrapnel from the back of Shadow's thigh. He himself was scarred. The somewhat excited hostess followed him and handed him different first-aid items.
In Night City, the Saint's face is also very famous. He is the champion of the Death Fight Competition with full prize money, and the tattoos on his face increase his recognition and charm.
The excited lady in front of her was excited that she could participate in such an exciting thing.
As the snipers were in position, the Hydra soldiers who were still hesitating in place immediately began to cover each other and retreat as agreed.
But Tangji still has his own troubles. A mechanical dog that is more suitable for indoor combat than Basilisk-3 has entered the building.
"Head, bad news, my enemies here are back to look for you!" Tony reminded in the communication channel. As the commando of the team, he single-handedly held down five Hydras in the previous battle.
Soldiers, reducing Tang Ji's frontal pressure.
The price was that he had been chased two streets away by the enemy, and the mess left behind by both sides proved the intensity of the exchange of fire.
It's true that some irritable citizens thought about protecting their private property, but after that, everyone who saw the Hydra soldiers with their own eyes chose to swallow their anger.
These black soldiers looked like they were no match for them.
Tony worked hard to attract the attention of these people, but at this time the Hydra soldiers who had been chasing him suddenly stopped and turned back to the main battlefield.
"Received." Tang Ji replied, listening in all directions, and suddenly turned around and fired a shot at the big hole he had left in the wall.
The fatal bullet tore apart a mechanical dog in an instant, breaking its lower body into parts. Only the upper body was left, howling in waves, still struggling to crawl towards him.
Tanabao
Tang Ji didn't know who the designer of this thing was, but he must be very perverted, otherwise no one would add such useless sound effects to this thing.
However, Tang Ji soon understood the purpose of the other party's actions. Just when Tang Ji was distracted by the wailing, the mechanical dog had already climbed the last five meters of its own distance.
The system determined that the target was within the scope of the explosion. The mechanical dog's eyes flashed red and exploded in the next second!
The violent explosion caused shock waves to surge back and forth in the room, and Tangji hit the wall behind him like a rag doll.
Fortunately, the [reinforced] treated clothes and body armor provided some support, and coupled with his amazing physique, Tang Ji just sat there and calmed down for a few seconds before getting up again.
"TMD..." Tang Ji cursed and suddenly laughed. He was amused by the design concept of the mechanical dog. This was a real joke from hell.
And most people who experienced it would never have the chance to share this joke with others. Tang Ji was lucky enough.
He stood up holding on to the wall. His originally sensitive hearing was affected by the explosion so close to him, and he could no longer hear anything at this time.
But Tang Ji could still see it. While he was loading the prelude quickly, he looked left and right to prevent other mechanical dogs from suddenly appearing.
These four-legged bionic machines are far more flexible than humans. Like real hounds, they appear in groups and then swarm them.
Tang Ji saw a mechanical dog break the glass and jump in from the window, but the prelude bullet was one step ahead of it and shattered the mechanical dog's head before it landed.
This corpse became Tang Ji's new weapon. When more mechanical dogs were about to jump in through the window, he shot the mechanical dog in the chest and detonated the bomb inside.
There was another explosion, and the vibration that shook the entire building was transmitted along the walls to every resident in the building, but no one dared to risk leaving their home.
Tang Ji judged that at least three mechanical dogs had been affected by the previous explosion, and that such a large-scale explosion would only have occurred due to the explosion.
Tang Ji, who was prepared this time, took precautions in advance and hid around the corner to avoid the secondary damage from the shock wave. At the same time, his sight was not blocked by the raised dust.
This gave him more time to react and shot the other two mechanical dogs who tried to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the front.
At this time, Tang Ji was like a firefighter, constantly moving on the first floor to prevent the mechanical dogs that rushed out from all directions from approaching him.
"Boss, someone prepared a car for us." Tony switched to the communication channel again: "Someone sent me a text message, telling me that there was a car here filled with medical supplies and weapons, and then I discovered it.
."
"Help from a mysterious person? How did they find your phone number?" Tang Ji has mastered the action patterns of these mechanical dogs, and has gradually become more comfortable with them. The explosions that sound from time to time are like the climax of a concert, and he can successfully stop them every time.
The approach of those mechanical dogs.
"I have left phone numbers for many dancers before..." Tony said with some guilt: "I checked, there are no bombs, no manipulation or manipulation. The car body has been strengthened and has a certain protective effect. How to deal with it?"
"If you can drive the car downstairs, that's our Noah's Ark!" Tang Ji had noticed in the distance that another Hydra soldier wearing a black exoskeleton appeared, which was the one that Tony had led away before.
That team.
"Leave it to me!" Tony eagerly got into the car, but his heart was still trembling. Of course he knew how dangerous it was to drive there at this time.
Those Basilisk-3s may not be able to get inside the building, but attacking a civilian vehicle? That is definitely a piece of cake. What they need at this time should be the Beamon!
It's a pity that it takes five minutes for the beast to start up, and Martin is the only one in the team to drive the thing on the road.
Tony imitated the saints and made the sign of the cross in front of him, intending to make a temporary move, then started the car, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the tires and the ground screamed, and he made a sharp turn and sprinted towards the battlefield!
"You'll see me soon, head!" Tony shouted, "We'd better move fast!"
He saw the Hydra team in front of him who was approaching the building in battle formation. Shadow's electromagnetic sniper rifle was recharged and he found the opportunity to take away one of them with one shot.
Tony resisted the urge to bump into them directly. He knew that the soldiers equipped with exoskeletons were much more powerful than they looked. He could knock down one or two soldiers, but they would definitely be overthrown later.
The modified truck had power that did not match its appearance. It flicked its tail to escape the hail of bullets, and rushed straight towards the entrance of the building!
Martin and Anthony, who received the news at this time, hurriedly carried Soult down from the second floor on a simple stretcher. Under the cover of Tang Ji, they seized the offensive gap between Hydra and the mechanical dog, and stopped when the truck stopped.
Before he could stabilize himself, he carried the wounded man and rushed into the carriage!
And Tang Ji didn't waste time. He didn't even have time to get in and evacuate. He directly grabbed the door with one hand and hung himself out of the car. He patted the car hard and said, "Let's go!"
When Hydra's officers saw their target preparing to flee, they immediately planned to mobilize more firepower to attack the truck, but the disjointed command just now caused a loophole in their encirclement.
Basilisk-3, who was assigned to the outside of the encirclement, was half-killed by Shadow who was given a chance to breathe. The electromagnetic sniper rifle in his hand combined with the specially-made armor-piercing bullets became a nightmare for this light armored force.
In just five minutes, Shadow destroyed four Basilisk-3s, plus three Hydra soldiers, including the officer himself who was arranging his troops.
He understood the threat of the sniper better than anyone else, but the team sent to eliminate the sniper had refused to continue to obey orders.
"What the hell! Bastard!" The officer threw his weapon to the ground, full of resentment at the mentally retarded operation of the higher-ups.
And the piece of connective tissue on the chest, which looked unappetizing, made the officer even more pessimistic about the future.
"Where's the drone? Destroy that car. If they run away, none of us will be able to see the sun tomorrow! I swear!" the officer shouted angrily on the communication channel. The support team was his last resort.
.
But in the previous drone battlefield, they were beaten to a pulp by Tang Ji's men.
Fortunately, most of the drones belonging to Tang Ji's side have crashed together with those two damn missiles, and the remaining ones are also in automatic cruise state.
Obviously, the enemy's drone operator was in trouble. This may be the only good news he heard today.
Hopefully, they can complete the mission successfully...Okay, cross out success, as long as they can complete the mission.
