After rushing out of the base, Team Akainu drove the car quickly towards the Lone Star.
Yang Jie took advantage of this moment to take back the drone, reload the missile, fly it again, and stay behind for reconnaissance and early warning.
More than two hours later, a huge motorcade appeared in the drone footage.
"They're catching up!"
"Wrench, how far away are we?"
Ryan asked, holding the steering wheel.
Under the control of Yang Jie, the drone followed the Ford off-road body for about ten kilometers. After a brief estimation, Yang Jie reported a number:
"About twelve kilometers."
"Xiong, have you changed the ammunition?"
"It's done."
Ivan nodded and said while holding the GAU-2C with the ammunition chain reattached.
"Be prepared to counterattack. If the enemy enters the shooting range, shoot!"
"clear."
Ivan said as he pushed open the skylight again and set the machine gun back.
"I mean Bear, could you please be more careful when shooting this time?"
Taking advantage of the gap before the enemy came up, Rock said jokingly:
"You just hit me with all those bullet casings. That means I'm wearing an exoskeleton. Otherwise, why wouldn't I be screaming from the heat?"
"You deserve to be burned to death!"
Ivan Machine Gun was really having fun today. Faced with Rock's complaints, he just laughed and cursed in reply.
"Wait, something's not right."
Yang Jie looked at the vehicles at the front of the convoy that were locked by the drone, hesitated for a moment, frowned and said:
"They're slowing down."
"Slow down?"
Ryan asked in surprise.
"That's right, I'll transfer the screen to you."
As Yang Jie spoke, he clicked a few times on the display on his wrist and shared the screen with the entire team.
After seeing this, Roque stopped joking, was stunned for a moment and asked:
"What's going on?"
"Wait Akainu, look!"
Hearing Yang Jie's reminder, Ryan raised his eyes, glanced at the drone picture, and raised his eyebrows.
"Are they unloading magazines?"
Unloading the magazine is a gesture of goodwill in the wasteland. This is a way to show that you are not a threat, let alone malicious.
Yang Jie looked at the rifle with its magazine unloaded and sticking out of the car window, and couldn't help but feel confused.
"What are they doing?"
"Not sure."
Ryan shook his head and continued:
"No matter what, we must be vigilant."
"Then do I still want to hit this missile?"
"Let's not fight first. If they don't make any move to open fire, we shouldn't move first.
Keep this distance from them and see what they want to do. "
Yang Jie nodded and continued to maintain the lock state, but did not press the launch button.
The Ford off-road vehicle and the convoy were just one behind the other, heading towards Lone Star over ten kilometers apart.
The sky is slightly bright, and the red sun rises from the east.
The fuel tank of the off-road vehicle is almost empty.
Meanwhile, off-road vehicles cross the border between Lone Star and Old Port's spheres of influence.
Delio is already close at hand.
"Peco is here to pick us up."
Not far away, a row of soldiers wearing exoskeletons stood in front of the convoy, waiting for the Akainu team.
"Stop!"
The leading soldier suddenly raised his rifle and shouted loudly to the Akainu team:
"parking!"
Ryan's expression changed and he suddenly stepped on the brakes.
The tires of the off-road vehicle blew up a burst of sand and dust, and it stopped in front of the soldiers.
After pushing the door and getting out of the car, Ryan asked the soldier:
"Where's Peco?"
"My cousin is not here, so I will take Fermat back for him."
Behind the soldier, a man in his thirties with a scar on his right eyebrow walked out of the crowd, looked at Ryan, raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at him with a smile.
"Dawson……"
"Long time no see, Ryan."
Dawson extended his palm in front of Ryan.
Ryan didn't shake hands, just looked at him coldly.
"When did you have such a good relationship with your cousin?
Will he trust you? "
"Then look."
Seeing that Ryan didn't respond, Dawson was not embarrassed and took back his palm as if nothing had happened.
"My cousin and I are relatives, so we must have a good relationship."
Speaking of this, he suddenly chuckled, looked at Ryan and asked with a smile:
"Otherwise, why didn't I protect you who was expelled? Why did I stay instead?"
Faced with Dawson's provocation, Ryan showed no anger at all.
"Speaking of this."
Ryan chuckled.
"Did your balls get attached later?"
"Fuck you Ryan!"
When the painful spot was poked, Dawson's face quickly turned red visibly.
“What is a banished wild dog proud of?
I tell you, hand over Fermat and get out of here! "
"What if I don't give it to you?"
Before Dawson could react, Lane suddenly raised his rifle and pressed it against Dawson's head.
This move prompted a quick reaction from both sides. The Lone Star soldier and the Akainu team who got out of the car also quickly picked up their rifles and faced off against each other.
“Ryan, please think carefully, this is Lone Star!
You are no longer an officer of Lone Star! "
Seeing Dawson's sullen expression, Ryan smiled contemptuously.
“At first I just squeezed your balls, but I didn’t expect you to become such a girl.
Chicken-hearted. "
"Akainu, the gang is catching up."
Yang Jie took a look at the drone picture and asked Ryan:
"Should we withdraw first?"
"No."
Looking at another convoy coming from the direction of Lone Star, Ryan shook his head.
"This time, Peco and the others are really here."
Peco arrived first, and the two troops stood apart with a tacit understanding, leaving a distance in the middle.
"So diligent, Dawson."
After pushing the door and getting out of the car, Peco took the lead and walked to the Akainu team, looking at Dawson with a sneer.
"He even helped with my work."
He said, looking at the soldier behind Dawson, his eyes widening.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to kill me too?
Put the gun down! "
Looking at the future head of the family, the soldiers did not dare to resist and quickly put down their rifles.
The weapons were disarmed, and Dawson's face turned extremely ugly.
"Peco, it's useless what you're doing."
He looked at Peco with a sinister look, snorted coldly and said:
"Fermat's defection is a foregone conclusion. You have made such a big mistake and are no longer qualified to run for Congress."
"Yeah?"
Before Peco could speak, an old voice came out from the motorcade.
Dawson turned his head, his expression suddenly changed, he lowered his head and shouted respectfully:
"Grandpa."
"You've got a lot of patience, boy Dawson."
The old man's words instantly made Dawson break into a cold sweat.
He gritted his teeth and lowered his head, not daring to say a word.
The leader of the DeLeo family and current head of Lone Star Intelligence, Rich DeLeo.
Richie ignored Dawson and turned to look at Ryan.
"Are you the best friend Peco talks about?"
"Report!"
Ryan knocked his heels, stood upright, and gave Rich a lone star military salute.
"Hello from Major Ryan Wilson, former Flag Officer of the 3rd Squadron of the Land Walkers!"
Yang Jie glanced at Ryan, who was a little excited, and couldn't help but frown.
Richie was very satisfied with Ryan's performance. He patted Ryan on the shoulder and praised:
"Well done, boy."
As soon as Rich finished speaking, he heard a sudden knocking sound from the trunk of the Ford SUV.
"We captured Piero from Thor Industries."
Ryan quickly explained:
"He is the heir to Thor Industries."
Richie smiled and nodded.
"Bring him here first."
"Wrench, bring Piero here!"
Yang Jie didn't reply, silently opened the trunk and took the fat man out of the car who had woken up.
As soon as Piero was brought to Richie, the convoy from Thor Industries finally arrived.
"Wait!"
Arnall opened the car door, walked out of the car with a group of guards, and stood opposite the two teams.
The three troops stood separately and surrounded the Akainu team in the center.
