Chapter 114 Ambush

The tributary of the Teda Mira River flowed through the Cloud Narrow Valley, leading to the sea at the end of the valley.

Han Xiao landed on the edge of the Cloud Narrow Valley. According to intelligence from the Dark Net organization, Germination's ground forces would pass through the valley to rendezvous with their naval forces.

Han Xiao's goal was to intercept the ground forces. He knew that Star Long and the Six Nations would also deploy ground troops for interception, most likely inside the Cloud Narrow Valley. If he got too close, he would also be discovered. At this critical juncture, he didn't want to engage with the two nations' forces.

"Looks like I have to choose a good position."

Thinking this, Han Xiao folded his arms and watched the Farreign people assemble the truck head and suspension and hang the cargo compartment containing the mechanical equipment. While working, these Farreign personnel were surprised to see Kuang Dao Nu Jian dancing and jumping around nearby.

"The goods have been delivered, I'm leaving."

"Okay, say hello to Matthews for me." Han Xiao nodded.

Antonov waved his hand, and the helicopter took off, quickly disappearing into the sky. The Farreign were only responsible for transporting the arms and did not participate in the battle.

Han Xiao got into the truck, looked at the detailed map sent by the Dark Net, and was about to drive when the phone suddenly rang.

"Hello."

"Black Phantom, you're going to join in Germination's fun?" Bennett said in surprise on the phone.

"Yeah, why don't you come and play too?" Han Xiao joked.

"...Our Dark Net has always maintained neutrality. Don't overdo it. Germination are a bunch of madmen who bite anyone they catch. I also have a headache," Bennett said helplessly.

"Don't worry, I never screw over my teammates."

Bennett expressed his doubts about this, saying, "Forget it... In a while, I have something I need your help with."

Over the past two months, Han Xiao had Bennett's phone number and often called to build rapport. Coupled with his growing reputation, Bennett was happy to talk to him, and the relationship between the two was quite good.

Putting away the phone, Han Xiao shook his head, stepped on the gas, and drove along the edge of the valley toward the selected area.

...

The river flowed through the Cloud Narrow Valley, nourishing fertile soil. The terrain was relatively diverse, with plains covered with short grass, as well as forests and hills. The scenery was beautiful, full of green, making people feel refreshed and eager to forgive something.

Star Long had ambushed a large number of ground troops here, with all kinds of war equipment, including tanks, armed helicopters, medium-range missile coverage arrays, and a large number of minefields.

The commander of the ground forces was a Star Long officer named Huang Qiu Ming, who had been in the army for more than 20 years. His style was serious and meticulous. The reason why the Star Long high-level officials used him was because they valued Huang Qiu Ming's steady style. As long as this war was carried out according to the plan, they would be sure to win.

In the command vehicle of the阵地 (zhèn dì, position), Huang Qiu Ming looked at the map filled with various markers and nodded expressionlessly.

"Everything has been arranged properly. The first layer of ambush is the minefield. If Germination doesn't step in, they will miss the rendezvous time with the naval forces, so even if they know there is a trap, they must take the risk. The armed helicopter unit is on standby at all times and can attack the enemy's mine-sweeping troops from the air. The missile vehicle array is always aimed at the edge of the forest. Once the enemy crosses the forest, they can be struck..."

As long as it went according to plan, the enemy would have no way to escape.

...

Germination's retreating forces in Southern Continent consisted of a huge convoy of hundreds of various vehicles, which combined the retreating troops from all the surviving bases.

Lin Yu was the commander-in-chief, and the direct person in charge of the ground forces was named Ugar, a Caucasian.

Ugar was also well aware that the troops were about to be ambushed. In order to keep up with the schedule of the naval forces, they had to pass through the Cloud Narrow Valley, and this battle was unavoidable. He had already prepared. These retreating troops from the bases carried some new weapons that were being tested, some high-powered gadgets that would definitely surprise the enemy.

These experimental weapons were important materials, as well as several human test subjects from the [Super Soldier Project].

...

The truck went around in a big circle and stopped on the edge of the Cloud Narrow Valley on the other side. Intelligence showed that this was a route that Germination's ground forces could not possibly detour, as it was very far away.

Han Xiao did not drive into the forest, but took out a pile of spider detectors, more than forty in number. He started them through the tablet. These mechanical little spiders straightened up, shaking their heads and swaying, like a squad of soldiers waiting for orders.

With two months of accumulation, Han Xiao's technology had improved again, and he had updated and strengthened the existing machinery. The spider detectors were equipped with low-level intelligent chips that automatically detected threat targets and then fed back to the computer, so he didn't have to stare at the screen all the time. They also had a new blueprint, the sui anti-radar detection coating, which could better fulfill the task of lurking detection and was suitable for fixed-point monitoring.

Han Xiao sent most of the spider detectors into the forest, and the remaining few went in the opposite direction to scout when Germination would arrive.

While doing this work, Kuang Dao Nu Jian got out of the car and noticed a line added to the status bar.

"You are in a state of [Severe Carsickness], all attributes -30%"

"What the hell is this?" Kuang Dao Nu Jian looked surprised. The sense of experience he had set was 20% real, and he had not actually experienced the pleasure of the old driver's driving skills, but the panel faithfully reflected his physical state.

"Is there anything you need me to do?" Kuang Dao Nu Jian asked, wanting to see if he could trigger a mission.

"Not for now."

Han Xiao shook his head. Kuang Dao Nu Jian's combat power couldn't intervene in this level of war. The only use he could have was as a cannon fodder who wasn't afraid of death.

Now, the forest must have been filled with various minefields and radar detection devices. Entering rashly would attract attention. All he had to do was wait, prepare himself, improve his plan, and calibrate the other mechanical weapons.

There were still one or two days before Germination's retreating troops arrived. Han Xiao had been preparing and waiting in the truck. Kuang Dao Nu Jian followed him, giving Kuang Dao Nu Jian some small tasks every day.

Although he felt that Kuang Dao Nu Jian had potential, he would not train him with all his strength. The experience given to Kuang Dao Nu Jian was only slightly more than that given to other players in the same period, but Kuang Dao Nu Jian was already very satisfied.

Han Xiao also read the forums every day. The players' enthusiasm was still fermenting. He mainly paid attention to the Aquamarine Star section, which allowed him to know the players' progress. They were still in the novice stage. When they grew up, there would be a major event waiting for them specifically for the players, which was also the prelude to the chaos.

"The plot has been disrupted by me, and the players' encounter may be delayed... or maybe it will be earlier?"

Han Xiao stroked the stubble on his chin, thinking secretly. That was the first time the players had entered the sight of the various novice planet forces. He still remembered that it caused a great disturbance in his previous life and aroused widespread discussion, and was praised.

...

Tonight, dark clouds covered the moon, and thick fog filled the air, making it difficult to see one's fingers.

The First Spider lay motionless on the plain under the night, faithfully executing the program commands.

"Rumble—"

The ground suddenly trembled slightly. The First Spider's sensors detected the vibration, and the detector immediately turned to the source of the vibration.

Germination's huge convoy appeared in the distance, and the First Spider was right on their route.

The First Spider faithfully transmitted the warning message in the form of radio waves.

The car was getting closer and closer, but the First Spider just stood there blankly, not knowing how to avoid it.

"Whoosh—"

The huge convoy quickly rolled over it, dragging its tail smoke away.

It wasn't until the smoke cleared that the appearance of the First Spider was revealed.

The mechanical body was covered in dust, but it was unscathed. Such a dense wheel had not rolled over it.

The First Spider moved its legs, turned around, and continued to lie dormant according to the instructions, staring cutely at the direction in which the convoy had left.
