Just as those combat personnel were rapidly advancing, several kilometers ahead of the road, the convoy that had appeared there suddenly increased its speed.
Almost simultaneously, the convoy that had crossed paths with the Escort convoy earlier had already turned back halfway and was rushing towards their rear.
From the sky above, it formed a pincer attack on the entire Escort convoy.
After Consultant Yao reported a problem from the front, he already knew that something was wrong. He decisively ordered all members to bring out their firearms, while also having the vehicles in the rear move up to form a defensive formation to block the impact in the front. He also raised the machine guns on the roofs of the vehicles, aiming at the front and sides.
Even with Secret Rituals to use, firearms were still the most convenient and effective.
However, he knew that this alone was not enough, so he immediately contacted the few Secret Cult members inside.
Immediately, several members got out of the vehicles and, under the cover of the front of the vehicles, came to the sides of the convoy. They spread out bundles of carpet-like material on the ground on both sides of the road, and then hammered nails into the edges.
These secret cult symbols could prevent people from afar from observing them normally and create some kind of visual displacement.
The opposing Implant combat personnel were advancing very quickly, reaching them in just a short while. However, even faster than them were those combat creatures .
Because they had wings, they came from the sky. But as they approached, influenced by the energy field, they fell one by one.Subsequently, they were shot down by Martial Artists and gunmen in the convoy using weapons, seemingly having no effect.
However, Consultant Yao didn't feel relieved at all. Since the other party came to attack them, they wouldn't be unaware of their identities. These rushing combat creatures should have been sent to test the effect of the ritual, to facilitate the subsequent raid.
Sure enough, after the first wave of combat creatures passed, the combat personnel in the rear roughly understood their arrangement and accelerated their approach.
Behind these personnel, there were also some people raising their guns, attempting to provide support for them. However, just as one of them raised his gun, the sniper on this side fired a shot, and his head jerked back, falling to the ground on the spot. Even a reinforced skull couldn't withstand the accurate shooting of this long-range firearm.
At this moment, the machine gunners on the roof began to fire. Seeing the intense gunfire, these armed personnel didn't rush straight ahead, but instead separated and attempted to outflank from both sides.
Consultant Yao saw this situation and, seeing that there seemed to be more enemy gunmen joining in the distance, he decisively used a Boundary Token to order, "Everyone, put on respirators and throw smoke bombs."
As the order was issued, Escort personnel immediately threw out cans of things, smashing them around the convoy and on the road. A series of bangs rang out, and thick smoke immediately emerged.
This was a specially made smoke, used to obscure vision, and also had the function of calling for help and support. It could allow nearby Checkpoint points to discover the situation here. They, wearing special goggles, could instead recognize the surrounding situation, creating a favorable situation for themselves.
However, the weather today was relatively unfavorable to them. The wind from the wilderness was really strong, and the smoke was blown away a lot as soon as it came out, and it was still increasing. But even if it could only cover a little, it would be good.
Those combat personnel, seeing the smoke rising, did not rashly rush in. The machine gunners on the convoy side also did not rush to fire, but instead used the cover of the smoke to allow the long-range shooters behind to pick off targets.
It looked like they could hold on like this. The radio had already sent a request for help to Central City and various strongholds. This place was not far from Central City. If the support team could arrive in time, they could be rescued.
But just as the situation seemed to be stabilizing, they suddenly saw a transport vehicle rushing towards them, seemingly trying to ram through the vehicles blocking the road ahead.
Before he could issue an order, the machine gunners immediately opened fire. The vehicle's tires were blown out before long, and then it overturned and lay across the road, but it also became a bunker, blocking the line of sight behind it.
After a while, there were suddenly two "thump" sounds, followed by two explosions in the middle of the convoy.
One explosion was centered on an armed vehicle. The vehicle shook, and the machine gunner on it died instantly. Shrapnel burst out in all directions, affecting armed vehicles within a dozen meters around.
The other explosion landed in an empty space, causing no casualties, only one vehicle's tires were blown out. Obviously, the smoke and ritual had played a certain role.
Consultant Yao "s expression changed, "Mortar?!
This artillery piece was originally arranged in the front by the ambushers, waiting for their convoy to come over and fire it. However, the convoy actually stopped a few kilometers away, making it difficult for them to accurately hit the target. So now they carried the gun barrel forward and simply moved it closer to launch.
Consultant Yao knew it was not good. If these two artillery pieces were not taken out, they could only be passively beaten. It was too late to send people out now, and the other side must have defenses. He immediately used a Boundary Token to call the long-range shooters.
"Take out those two mortar operators for me!"
Hearing the order, the snipers immediately fired, but it didn't have much effect because several shields were erected in front of the mortar, so they had to change positions.
The two snipers did not give up. They tried to change to another position, but as soon as they reached the edge of the convoy, they were attacked by the opposing snipers , causing them to be unable to go out at all and could only engage in a shootout with the opponent.
But with this delay, two more shells landed in the convoy, but fortunately, under the effect of the smoke, none of them hit.
But this was not a solution.
Consultant Yao "s brow furrowed. There were many combat personnel on the other side. If they wanted to destroy those two mortars, unless he went forward himself, but the problem was that there was at least one Third-Limit Martial Artist on the enemy side, and maybe there were others waiting in the dark. His main responsibility was to protect Bureau Chief Lei . Once he left, it would give the other side an opportunity.
In the Jiade car in the rear, Chen Chuan noticed the situation here. He knew that Consultant Yao alone might not be able to handle it. He told Wu Han and Wei Dong .
Then he reached out and pushed the door open, got out of the car, and walked out of the smoke-covered convoy. As soon as he showed his face, his head tilted slightly, and a bullet grazed past him.
He didn't care at all, but looked at the location of the mortar in front.
Visually, it was about two to three hundred meters away from here. He didn't intend to rush over, but reached into his pocket and took out several pebbles of different sizes.
At this time, the mutated tissue in his body was circulated layer by layer. After accumulating enough strength, he swung his arm violently!
The shield in front of the mortar was immediately hit by a heavy hammer, falling backward, and the heads of the two artillerymen who were still preparing exploded one after another.
At this time, a person nearby tried to go over and hold up the shield to fill the gap, but after running two steps, a gunshot rang out, and a burst of blood exploded from his head. The snipers in the rear saw that there was no shield to block them, and then exerted their strength.
Seeing this, Chen Chuan ignored it, and quickly moved to the other side, throwing stones to shake the shield away, and the snipers in the team quickly solved the artillerymen on this side again.
Consultant Yao saw it from behind and couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but he didn't feel much relaxation. He could see that this was definitely a large force taking action. Not to mention carrying artillery and having dozens of Implant combat personnel, there were at least hundreds of combat creatures he had seen. This was enough to fight a small-scale war.
If it weren't for the fact that their Escort convoy was also beyond the norm, and Chen Chuan had temporarily joined the convoy, then the other side would have collapsed in one wave of attack.
At this moment, Boundary Token came with news, saying that they had just seen a convoy suspected of being from United Power Heavy Industries also turning back, but now it was being blocked behind.
After hearing this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, he had listened to Chen Chuan "s instructions just now and sprinkled some caltrops and installed many tire deflators on the road behind, and not just one place, but placed some every other section, so those vehicles had no way to come over for a while and had to get down and clean them up first.
This way, they would not be attacked from both sides for a while.
After the mortar was taken down, the other side did not attempt to attack the convoy guarded by machine guns. Both sides tacitly began long-range shooting, and seemed to have fallen into a stalemate for a while.
Consultant Yao "s expression was solemn. He believed that this situation would not last long, because the Third-Limit Martial Artist on the other side had not yet joined the battle.
Once these people rushed in at high speed, the gunmen in his team would have a hard time reacting. If there were no suitable people to come forward to block them, then it would only take a while to destroy the entire situation that could still be maintained.
So the final outcome still depends on the fight between the Martial Artists on both sides.
Just as he thought so, his expression froze, because he saw a figure suddenly appear in his line of sight.
Although he was also dressed as a combat personnel, the speed he showed was clearly a Third-Limit Martial Artist . He stared closely at the figure.
But he didn't know if he was worried about something, the other party was just standing there watching the convoy in this direction, and did not come forward.
But he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, and he had already prepared himself. Once the person came in, he would come forward to resist, and as for Bureau Chief Lei behind, he could only temporarily hand it over to Chen Chuan "s side.
At this time, a stretched armed vehicle was driving towards this side. Jian Cheng Sheng was sitting in the back seat, holding a knife and looking at the front.
Although the fight in front was very lively, and there were many strange things that he had never seen on the island, it had almost no effect on people like him. So he didn't pay too much attention, but was looking forward to his opponent.
The car came to the front and stopped slowly. Someone stepped forward quickly and opened the door, and the person in the front passenger seat turned his head and said, "Mr. Jiancheng, we have arrived. The next thing is up to you."
Jian Cheng Sheng solemnly said, "Leave it to me." Then he picked up the knife and walked out of the car.
