Chapter 1 The Ambush

After finishing the phone call, Wu Dengyong winked at the soldiers standing around the off-road pickup truck, then turned to wave at Li Tianran and said with a light smile, "Brother, General Cai Feng has agreed to trade here."

Li Tianran was about to step forward.

*Pa-ta!*

The nearly one hundred soldiers suddenly raised the guns in their hands in unison, staring at Li Tianran with icy expressions, and immediately pulled the triggers!

A burst of dense gunfire suddenly rang out!

Countless bullets poured out like a torrential storm.

Li Tianran's pupils constricted, and his legs exerted force abruptly, his body leaping backward like a nimble ape.

In just an instant, the spot where Li Tianran had been standing was covered in bullets.

Countless gravel flew!

Wu Dengyong had a smile on his lips as he whispered, "I'm really sorry! If this was before the world changed, I would definitely use all my energy to ensure the safety of this transaction, but now that the world situation has become like this, I have to consider my own interests!"

"Sorry!"

What is it like to be shot at by hundreds of guns at the same time?

Li Tianran didn't want to talk about his feelings right now; his figure was rapidly dodging, fleeing into the distance.

"Ran into a fellow professional…" Li Tianran raised his eyebrows. He awakened the Combat Berserker within the system. Soon, the roar of a sniper rifle came from the distance.

Several soldiers instantly fell to the ground!

"Damn it! I knew he wouldn't come to the appointment alone! There really was an ambush nearby!" Wu Dengyong cursed in a low voice, crouching down and running towards the chariot at the rear of the convoy.

The pickup truck in front was not enough to resist the penetrating power of a sniper rifle; only by hiding behind the chariot could he be safe and sound!

The large sniper rifle roared again, and several more people were blown into pieces on the spot.

"Get in the car! Get in the chariot! The other side has a sniper!" a minor leader roared in Burmese. Everyone ran towards the chariot.

The sniper bullets hit the nearly thirteen-centimeter-thick steel plate, scattering dazzling sparks. The bullets twisted and ricocheted, unable to break through the defense!

"The other side's sniping point is beyond our range!" someone roared.

"Use artillery! Use artillery!" Wu Dengyong sat in the chariot's cockpit, staring wildly with wide eyes and roaring.

Several shells flew out with long trails, and the sparks that splashed up engulfed Li Tianran's figure.

After the dust settled, Li Tianran's figure was long gone.

But the surrounding sniper fire was still resounding.

*Boom boom!*

The chariot was still firing non-stop, and fireballs erupted on the distant mountains, bombarding many places suspected to be sniping points.

"General Cai Feng! We've opened fire… Min Deng will notice soon! You bring your troops over here immediately, or I'm afraid we won't be able to get away!" Wu Dengyong roared into the satellite phone.

"Ten minutes!" Cai Feng said only three words in an extremely concise voice, and immediately hung up the phone.

…

At the same time, at a "military base" ten miles away from this desolate mining area, many soldiers wearing military uniforms completely different from those of Wu Dengyong and his men were patrolling.

In fact, instead of a military base, this place was more like a terrorist stronghold in a village.

Here, tall machine gun nests and mortars could be seen everywhere. The soldiers were wrapped in heavy ammunition belts, and even some twelve or thirteen-year-old children carried assault rifles, their faces狰狞狰狞 and fierce.

In this village, in the most central building, a pot-bellied old man was enjoying breakfast.

Just then, someone reported.

"Report, General! There are continuous sonic vibrations five kilometers away from the main camp in the old mining area. According to analysis, someone should be using heavy weapons such as artillery there!"

Min Deng suddenly raised his head, a fierce look on his face. "That's my territory. Who dares to start a war there at will?"

"…" The soldier shook his head.

"Immediately take people over there to see! If it's those bastards Cai Feng and Sang Che's men, then detain them for me! As for the others, kill them all!" Min Deng said in a deep voice.

Just then, someone ran over to report again.

"General, a war has indeed broken out in the old mining area. One side is Cai Feng's men, and the other side is unknown… but we saw a lot of brand-new heavy mining equipment in the mining area!" The soldier said excitedly, "Cai Feng's men only have less than a hundred, and they are still guarding those equipment and can't move!"

Min Deng's eyes lit up instantly, and the muscles all over his body were trembling with excitement. "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

"That's right!" The soldier nodded excitedly.

"Cai Feng, that bastard, dares to cause trouble in my territory…" Min Deng was overjoyed, his fat body shaking with excitement. He immediately made a decision: "Conscript the Second Brigade, bring the heavy artillery and set off immediately. The things in my territory are mine. How can I let Cai Feng, that bastard, snatch them away?"

The entire "military base" moved. A large number of chariots rumbled out of the village, and there were even two tanks and heavy trailers!

Min Deng personally took the field, leading nearly eight hundred men to the old mining area with great momentum.

…

Wu Dengyong sat in the chariot. He suddenly felt the chariot beneath him start to shake. He suddenly raised his head and looked forward, only to see billowing smoke and dust rising in the distance.

A team flying a purple military flag was coming in this direction!

"Min Deng arrived one step earlier!" Cold sweat ran down Wu Dengyong's forehead.

Although Min Deng's power was weaker than Cai Feng's, it was definitely not something that he and his less than a few dozen men could deal with. Judging from the other side's formation, it was estimated that there were about a thousand people coming!

Once the battle started, his side would be defeated in less than a round!

But even so, Wu Dengyong couldn't sit still and wait for death.

If Min Deng's people really took these devices away, then he and Cai Feng would have worked for nothing, not making a single penny. More than thirty of Cai Feng's men had also died. This debt would be recorded on his head!

The other side's convoy approached. Wu Dengyong gritted his teeth, wanting to jump out of the car and negotiate with the other side, preparing to stall for a few minutes until Cai Feng's reinforcements arrived.

But at this moment, Min Deng's team opened fire directly. A dozen mortars roared, directly blowing seven or eight cars on Wu Dengyong's side into scrap metal!

"Counterattack! Counterattack!" Wu Dengyong was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He was almost hysterically roaring.

He had not expected Min Deng to be so brutal, opening fire directly without saying a word.

In the face of these devices worth nearly five tons of gold, these warlords fully displayed their brutality and decisiveness!

*Boom!*

A shell landed on the chariot's protective steel plate. The intense high temperature and enormous impact instantly pushed the chariot sideways for nearly half a meter, and the steel plate was deeply dented!

Wu Dengyong was so dizzy from the impact that his mind went blank.
