Chapter 108 Sweeping the Battlefield

Antonov got out of the car and stood shoulder to shoulder with Han Xiao, watching the scene of the explosion. He lit a cigar, took a puff, and laughed heartily, "It's been a long time since I've seen such beautiful scenery. I've been sitting in the office for too long, and I almost forgot what an explosion looks like."

"Then you should enjoy it."

Han Xiao twisted his neck to relieve the fatigue of the chase.

The fire finally gradually subsided. He and Antonov approached the explosion site, and a strong, pungent stench swept over them, mixed with the smell of burnt human flesh and poison gas...

Oops, I forgot about the poison gas!

Han Xiao saw the information on the panel showing that he was losing health, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only retreat and wait for the poison gas to dissipate before cleaning up the battlefield.

"Ugh..." A faint moan sounded. E'san, who wasn't quite dead yet, slowly crawled out. His hands and feet were shattered by the explosion, his whole body mixed with bright red and charred black. He struggled to raise his head, staring fixedly at Han Xiao.

"You... why..."

Han Xiao glanced at him, and without waiting for E'san to finish, he took out the Mad Eagle and blew his head off.

The righteous are invincible with their words, and the villains die from talking too much. There are more lessons from the past than there are stars in the sky. To be honest, Grand Technician Han had a moment where he wanted to try courting death, but after thinking about it, he didn't think he looked like a righteous protagonist, so he just took action.

"This wave of experience is pretty good... San Wu Jiu, what a terrible name." Han Xiao looked at the panel with a look of disgust.

Wait, in the kill information, it seems like there's one enemy missing who had appeared in the damage information.

Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he observed his surroundings. Suddenly, he fired at the ground twenty meters away.

"Bang—" A black shadow jumped out from under the sand in that location. Gui Hu grabbed a dagger and moved horizontally like a ghost, the dagger stabbing toward Antonov, who was closest to her.

The martial arts style she practiced had simple earth escape techniques. She hid in the sand at the moment of the explosion to escape the disaster. She originally wanted to hide, but seeing that Han Xiao had seen through her, she could only fight to the death.

The dagger reflected the sunlight, flashing a dazzling cold light. Antonov narrowed his eyes, and his thick arm suddenly grabbed out, his fan-like hand resembling a bear's paw.

Gui Hu dodged, her petite size providing convenience. She circled behind Antonov, her dagger stabbing toward the back of his heart. Suddenly, a black shadow magnified in front of her eyes, and a bear paw-like hand followed like a shadow, grabbing her head and almost wrapping it up.

Antonov threw Gui Hu like a shot put, throwing her more than ten meters away. The great force blasted a ripple-like wave of diffusion marks in the sand. Gui Hu fell with a bloody head, gritting her teeth. Her petite body rushed up again. With Han Xiao on the side, running away would only lead to being sniped, so she had no choice.

"Bang bang bang—"

Antonov was about to make a move, but Han Xiao fired both guns at the same time, riddling Gui Hu with bullets.

[You killed Gui Hu (Lv29), you gained 9400 experience]

"Eh, her level isn't low, so why is she so squishy?" Han Xiao looked at the combat information and found that Gui Hu's main class was only level eight, and the rest were levels of her secondary classes. Moreover, her secondary classes were all low-level stuff, so it was no wonder.

Antonov said helplessly, "Give me a chance to move my rusty body around."

"The corpse is still warm, go move around." Han Xiao picked his nose.

"...Your heart is really dirty."

After the poison gas dissipated, Han Xiao stepped into the explosion circle and retrieved the EMP jammer buried underground.

Han Xiao didn't know that E'jiu had grasped his movements, but he was used to making multiple plans. That night, he not only set up one trap, but also detoured to set up a total of four traps in different directions. Unless the enemy didn't chase, they would at least fall into one of the traps.

As long as you dare to chase, I'll *hehehe* you.

After putting away the jammer, Han Xiao rummaged through the corpses and found a lot of guns and ammunition, which could all be sold for money. The biggest gain was the modified war chariot, Thorns, which could be used after repairing the internal electronic components.

"Next, I can borrow strength."

…

"Gui Hu is out of contact?!"

Three assassins ambushed, and they still had intelligence advantages, yet they still fell into the enemy's trap!

Luo Qing's mood was heavy. Two teams had failed one after another, and the modified Thorns was also gone. Now the defense force of the stronghold was empty, and they had suffered a great loss.

She contacted the backer again, and Luo Qing explained the situation in detail.

The person on the phone slowly said, "You guys retreat first."

"...Understood."

After hanging up the communication, Luo Qing organized the manpower to move the valuable supplies to the car, preparing to abandon the stronghold and retreat temporarily. The Rose Mercenary was not facing danger for the first time. As long as they went out to take refuge for a few days, the backer would send more manpower over, and they would be able to gain a firm foothold again at that time.

However, the supplies had only been moved halfway when a harsh alarm sounded throughout the stronghold.

"Enemy attack!"

The mercenary on the lookout post roared shrilly. Luo Qing was shocked and rushed to the sentry post in three steps and made two. Looking into the distance, she saw a rolling sand dragon rapidly approaching, with dozens of Gordon Mercenary's war chariots rushing over aggressively.

"Damn it, they came too fast!"

The Rose Mercenary's power had been greatly damaged, and they would inevitably be coveted by other forces. Gordon was the most likely enemy to take advantage of the situation. Leaving the stronghold was to avoid the hostility of other forces, but Gordon's people came too fast. It was only possible that someone had informed them.

Luo Qing was so angry that her teeth itched. The Gordon Mercenary attacked the stronghold from the front. If they rashly drove away, it would turn into a chase, which would be even more dangerous.

They were in a dilemma!

"Leader, what should we do?"

Luo Qing hardened her heart, "Give me a counterattack, beat them hard!"

The Rose Mercenary mercenaries put down the supplies in their hands and hurriedly returned to their respective fortifications, operating machine guns and grenade launchers, and firing at the Gordon Mercenary convoy with a rumbling sound. The Gordon convoy was not to be outdone, and fired back.

Bullets flew back and forth, forming a curtain of death.

Countless bullet casings fell on the yellow sand, and scorched sand pits blasted out by grenades looked like craters on the surface of the moon. The Rose Mercenary's fortifications were very complete. Even with insufficient manpower, they stubbornly withstood Gordon's impact.

Behind the stronghold's wall, Luo Qing kept commanding the mercenaries. Su Li walked over and whispered in her ear:

"There is not enough manpower. A quarter of the fortifications are unmanned. We are trapped in the stronghold. If other forces intervene, our situation will be very bad."

As soon as she finished speaking, a very powerful engine sound came from afar. Luo Qing and Su Li's hearts skipped a beat. They recognized this highly recognizable engine sound!

On the other side of the battlefield, Han Xiao drove the hideous Thorns, jumped down from behind the sand dune, like a tiger leaping down a ravine. The car drew an arc in the air, and the repaired outer armor reflected the dazzling sunlight. The idling wheels soared to an extremely fast speed.

The car crashed to the ground with a bang, splashing a cloud of yellow sand, and accelerated toward the Rose Mercenary stronghold, rushing forward with an indomitable momentum.

"Isn't that the Rose Mercenary's Thorns?!"

Gordon's eyes shrank, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to shrink their formation. He had a deep understanding of the Thorns' firepower and thought that the Thorns' driver was the enemy. He stood by, preventing the Thorns from inserting into the flank and bombarding them.

Little did he know that the Rose Mercenary was even more nervous than him. They knew the Thorns' firepower better. Su Li exclaimed, "Quickly intercept him, don't let the Thorns get close to the stronghold!"

Luo Qing felt extremely aggrieved. In the past, the Thorns was their trump card, but now it was seized by others and used on them. What kind of behavior was this? It was like someone stealing your corner, and that brat was still pulling your girl... ex-girlfriend, in front of you, showing off, how can you bear this?

Anyway, Luo Qing couldn't bear it. She couldn't wait to use her superpower to turn that killer into ashes and turn him into a mass of unspeakable carbohydrates!
