The night is quiet, and the moonlight shines like silvery water on the boundless land.
There were crackling sounds from the stove converted from scrap iron buckets, and the radio placed in the open space played welcoming music. It was the jackals celebrating the week's meat harvest.
But when Lin Mo and Brutus met and got entangled in shopping, this festive scene was broken.
Whether it was the scavengers who were singing and dancing at the scene, celebrating the harvest, or Mann and his team who were waiting at the door, they all seemed to have heard the sound of the battle horn.
The dancers' movements froze and the drinkers put down their glasses and looked around...
Only Mann was the first to react. He suddenly appeared from the gate of the factory. While laughing boldly and taunting the enemy with his fragrant breath, he raised a metal prosthetic arm as strong as a bear's hand. The brass-colored barrel popped out and fired grenades. .
The grenade exploded in the densest part of the crowd, blowing several unresponsive scavengers into pieces.
The battle between the two sides has begun!
The most threatening top scavengers with speed components implanted in them were pre-targeted and locked by Kitagawa Hiroshi who was waiting on a tall building in the distance at the moment Mann took action.
Even though they entered a state of stress, Krenzikov increased their nerve reflex speed several times in a short period of time.
But when faced with [Nekomata]'s tungsten nail bombs that were charged to the limit and fired, they were still like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, being killed on the spot without any ability to resist.
The extremely hard metal skin armor on their bodies has a certain resistance even against large-caliber machine guns.
But in front of [Nekomata]'s devastating rapid tungsten nail bullets, it was still as fragile as an inconspicuous wooden board, easily shattered and penetrated by the bullets.
After firing four bullets in a row to empty the magazine, Kitagawa Hiroshi quickly replaced it with another magazine.
Nekomata's power is absolutely devastating on the battlefield, but its ammunition capacity is still a flaw.
The compact magazine means, at best, "the firepower lies in the strength rather than the quantity", but at worst, "the ammunition capacity is weak."
The four shots fired by Kitagawa Hiroshi also reminded the scavengers who were celebrating. With the warning "They have snipers", the scavengers scattered one after another to find bunkers.
During this period, some people also tried to go to the basement to support their leader, but Sasha had already hacked into the locked electronic door, and the scavengers were unable to break in for a while.
In just a moment, with Mann drawing firepower from the front, Dorio, Rebecca, and Pyrrha also came on stage.
"Don't grab it from me!"
Rebecca's wild laughter was accompanied by a sweet cry. She held a pink and green pistol in each hand. It seemed that she had not aimed at it at all. She pulled the trigger with her finger and the gunfire roared.
Even without careful aim, the bullets flying from the muzzle still hit the fleeing scavengers like they had eyes. Every time a gunshot rang out, a scavenger fell to the ground with a headshot.
As the bullets in the magazine continued to be consumed, Rebecca's laughter became more and more wild.
Her seemingly petite body moved around the battlefield with great agility. There was no trace of fear or fear on her face, only her delicate face that became more and more excited as the gunfire sounded.
The laughter was mixed with violent curses, and the girl's eyes widened, filled with joy as adrenaline surged through her body and her blood flow accelerated.
"Die, die, die, don't run away! Trash!"
The continuous sound of the word "death" is like the pronouncement of the King of Hell, accompanied by the sound of gunshots. Whenever the word "death" is uttered, a scavenger will be shot in the head.
Although Rebecca's offensive was fierce, there was still a bit of recklessness that didn't care about life and death.
To make up for her shortcomings is Dolio, a woman with the same burly figure as Mann, a reliable deputy of the team!
She had a [Magorian-Prelude] revolver in one hand and an [Arasaka HJSH-18 Masamune] rifle in the other. She stood beside Rebecca and was always observing the situation on the battlefield, taking into account the blind spots in her field of vision that Rebecca was not aware of.
The two firearms with strong recoil looked like ordinary toy guns in her hands. The strong recoil was offset by her thick arms, in exchange for constant firepower.
Although she does not have the same shooting skills as Rebecca, Dolio still assumes her role well, always observing the situation in the team, and will give a sharp reminder when Mann is too reckless.
Just half a minute passed.
In the abandoned factory area, the ground was covered with corpses riddled with bullet holes.
The blood soaked into the ground and dyed twisted bright red and strange patterns. Countless flesh and blood tissues shattered by violent firearms were scattered all over the battlefield. The iron bucket in the center of the open space was still burning with orange flames, like undissipated gunpowder.
The radio playing music was smashed by stray bullets, flashing with crackling sparks. Occasionally, several iron buckets were knocked to the ground, and the flames burned endlessly on the floor.
The remaining scavengers also hid in bunkers or in surrounding factories and began their own counterattacks.
The situation reversed in a brief moment.
Although they gained a huge advantage during the raid, now faced with the firepower gap between the enemy and ourselves, Mann and his team had to hide behind the bunker and look for opportunities.
Rebecca, who was still rushing forward, was also grabbed by Dolio's "throat of fate". A thick arm held her in his arms, and Dolio took her to hide in the nearby security room. inside.
"Let me go, I haven't had enough yet!"
Rebecca's calves kept fluttering, like a bird flapping its wings after being imprisoned.
"Be calm, now is not the time to show off." Dolio growled, forcing the restless Rebecca to calm down.
After struggling for a few times, Rebecca found that she could not escape from Dolio's confinement, and she calmed down. Her excitement, like the temperature of a gun, quickly cooled down in the night wind.
Mann was also hiding behind a building, looking at the bullets fired by the scavengers with a slight concern in his eyes.
He has heavy metal subcutaneous armor implanted under his skin, and firepower like this is not a fatal threat for the time being.
But once a fire net is formed and bullets hit his body like raindrops, even he will have a hard time resisting, and he will most likely turn into a pile of scrap metal.
"Pyrrha, what are you doing? Are you okay?" Mann roared into the communication channel.
"Okay, okay, Mann, just stay where you are and watch the fireworks!" Pyrrha, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke on the channel.
As he finished speaking, a series of explosions suddenly appeared in the factory building in the distance. The sudden explosions were completely unexpected by the scavengers, and they screamed in horror.
Mann stretched his head and took a look outside, his sunglasses tilted, revealing a look of astonishment.
"You've been preparing for so long, and you're just going to blow up a factory for me! That's all you have?"
The roaring explosion was indeed pleasing to the eye, and the waves of hot air and flames pouring out of the factory were enough to prove that the blasting could not have been more perfect.
Unfortunately, the explosion was also accurately calculated, and the scope of the explosion was limited to the interior of the factory, directly killing more than a dozen scavengers hiding inside.
Outside, there were still many scavengers remaining. Although they were frightened by the explosion, they did not forget the current situation, and the muzzles of their guns were still pointed in their direction.
"Who said it was just a light and easy job before I came here? I don't have enough pockets to store explosives. It's the limit to be able to cause such a big noise!" Pyrrha explained angrily.
"Tch, bro, you're just a weakling. Just admit your mistakes honestly, okay?" Rebecca said mockingly.
"Can your two small toys compare to the big scene I created? Don't ask me for magazines when you run out of bullets!" Pyrrha responded angrily by raising his middle finger, even though no one saw his middle finger.
"If you want to quarrel, go and chat privately. Don't quarrel in the team channel!" Dolio also interrupted the commotion between the two.
"What should we do next? With the opponent's firepower now, it is difficult for us to fight back. Should we continue to wait and look for opportunities?" she continued.
"Wait!" Mann observed the situation and made a judgment.
"Wait a minute, there's a high-heat reaction over there at nine o'clock. These scavengers have brought in heavy weapons!"
Pyrrha's somewhat anxious voice sounded on the channel, and his words made everyone's expressions change.
As a technical expert, Pyrrha is not only good at making explosives, but also at observing them.
A prosthetic auxiliary device in the shape of goggles was implanted in his eyes, allowing him to observe the specific range and high-energy response of all explosives.
"Rebecca, Dolio, get out of that guard room!"
Mann's pupils narrowed and he looked towards the guard room not far away. This small building could block some bullets, but it had no chance of blocking explosives.
Dolio's expression changed as she was hiding in the guard room. She picked up Rebecca and wanted to rush out.
She also has metal skin armor implanted in her body, which can barely withstand some bullets. She may not die if she rushes out, but she will definitely die if she stays here!
At this critical moment, a steady and calm voice sounded on the channel, and everyone's mood was calmed down instantly like a rippled lake.
"It's okay, I'm here." The boy said.
