Chapter 407 - Ambush
On the main road leading to the Dark Knights’ camp, the guild leader of Leftway Gaming Guild, Tian Zhen, had gathered with hundreds of elite player from various game companies.
They had been waiting for more than half an hour.
Niu Xia was a little anxious from waiting. He could not help but ask, “Why hasn’t anyone come yet? is the news reliable? ”
No one answered him, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Ahem.
After a long while, the vice-guild leader of Holy Paladin Gaming Guild coughed lightly. “Can you explain the situation in detail? It’ll also help us mentally prepare better. ”
The ambush was an emergency operation that Tian Zhen had organized at the last minute. The other participating gaming union players only knew that the ambush was aimed at Fang Heng. With just a word from Tian Zhen, they had led a team here.
The battle during the day ended in a crushing defeat. However, at that time, Leftway Gaming Guild was left alone to fend off the Scavenger Army to buy time for everyone. They had won the trust of the players.
“Yes, the information is absolutely reliable. ” Though he didn’t bother with Niu Xia, Tao Yuanlei gave a response as the other players had also voiced out. “It was a childhood friend of mine who leaked it to me. He’s working in the Federation. ”
Everyone was enlightened.
The information they received from the Federation should be correct.
“The information we received is that last time, Fang Heng helped the Federation greatly in District 5. As a reward, the Federation provided Fang Heng with a large amount of medicinal ingredients yesterday. Based on other information, we believe that Fang Heng used some special method to produce a potion called warlord potion in a short period of time using the ingredients. As per what we saw during the day, the warlord potion can increase the combat strength of the Scavenger Army in a short period of time to a frightening extent. ”
Tian Zhen continued to explain calmly, “Currently, a large portion of the ingredients used to produce the warlord potion has not been sent back to the Scavenger Army. There’s a high chance that Fang Heng will personally bring people over to transport the ingredients. ”
Leftway Gaming Guild had suffered heavy losses. He urgently needed a victory to boost their morale.
“If we are lucky, we can directly get rid of Fang Heng. Even if we are unlucky and let him escape, we can take this opportunity to cut off the Scavenger Army’s supply of medicinal ingredients and prepare for the next battle. ”
“I see. ”
The players present were all elites of District 7. After Tian Zhen’s brief explanation, they all understood.
“Attention! Over There! ! ! ”
Looking in the direction that Tao Yuanlei was pointing at, the players saw a light appear on the road in the distance.
It was the headlights of a vehicle!
“They’re coming! ”
A player raised his binoculars and looked into the distance. He whispered, “There are more than ten trucks in total! Confirmed to be from the Scavenger Army! ”
The trucks slowly drove on the small road, heading in the direction where the guild players was lying in ambush.
“Target confirmed! Target confirmed! ”
“The truck is heavily loaded. Estimated to contain a large amount of ingredients being transported… ”
“Why would there be a lot of ingredients? ”
“What about the number of enemies? ”
“Don’t panic! ” Tian Zhen said in a deep voice, “Listen to my command. Demolition team, get ready! ”
They watched as the trucks drove past them one by one on the main road.
Tian Zhen shouted, “Do it! ! ! ”
Boom! Boom, boom!
As soon as he said that, the ground beneath his feet shook.
The bombs that were buried in the middle of the road had been detonated!
A few trucks that were in the middle of the explosion were surrounded by a ball of fire, causing a secondary explosion. The drivers in the trucks coming from behind hurriedly stepped on the brakes but could not dodge in time.
The overloaded trucks could not stop at all, so they crashed into each other, resulting in a series of collisions.
For a moment, the players’ vision was blocked by the thick black fog created by the explosion in front of them.
“Charge! ! ! ” Tian Zhen shouted.
Taking advantage of the enemy’s disablement, Tian Zhen led the small party of players to launch a surprise attack!
As each elite player charged forward, they used their submachine guns to wildly fire at the trucks.
The battle with the Scavenger Army in the morning was still vivid in their minds.
After getting boosted by the warlord potion, the physical defense of the Scavenger Army members was terrifyingly strong. Each and every one of them was not afraid of death. If one or two shots could not kill them, it was safer to fire a few more shots!
After continuously firing, the players rushed to a distance of more than ten meters away from the truck.
“Did none of the guards return fire? ” Tian Zhen vaguely felt that something was not right.
The sky was very dark at night.
Under the illumination of the fire, Tian Zhen could vaguely see a few tall black shadows in the thick black fog.
“Stop! ” Tian Zhen slowed down his pace and signaled the players to stop attacking.
As the gunshots stopped, a few swaying shadows walked out from the burning flames, revealing their true appearances.
“Tyrants? ! Why would they be here? ”
The Tyrant forms were still burning in flames. They advanced forward, patting the flames on their bodies as they walked toward the players.
Tian Zhen’s pupils instantly enlarged several times, and cold sweat could not help but appear on his forehead.
One, two, three…
A total of five Tyrant forms walked out from the flames!
Tian Zhen had never expected that they would actually encounter Tyrant forms during that night’s operation. “Is Fang Heng controlling them from behind? ! But where did they come from? ”
Boom! ! !
A rocket launcher hit the Tyrant forms.
The Tyrant forms, hit head-on, were sent flying.
As they fell to the ground, fine vines immediately wrapped around their bodies. The injuries they received healed at an extremely fast speed.
“Retreat! Fire! ! ! Don’t let them get close! ”
The players present were all elites from the various large guilds. When they heard the command, they raised their guns and fired at the Tyrant forms.
However, the next second, Tian Zhen heard a soft sound from the side.
“This sound… Something isn’t right! ”
The sky was very dark. Although the flames could provide a certain range of vision, it was impossible to see clearly.
Tian Zhen felt an unprecedented sense of danger from the bottom of his heart.
The sound was getting louder and closer.
Something was rapidly approaching them! And there were quite a number of it!
There was definitely something amiss about the sound!
Tian Zhen shouted, “Flashbang! Quick! ! ”
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! !
A few flashbangs were thrown into the battlefield from the side.
A dazzling blue light shone, illuminating the surroundings.
Tian Zhen endured the piercing pain in his eyes and looked around.
With the help of the light from the flashbangs, Tian Zhen was finally able to see the surroundings clearly.
Standing on the spot, he widened his eyes, feeling a deep shock.
It was Tyrants, and there were far more than five of them!
It turned out that they were all hidden in the trailers behind the trucks!
A total of nearly 20 Tyrants climbed down from the trailers behind the trucks, and they were moving toward the players in large strides.
What was even more terrifying was that there was still a vast group of scarlet Lickers!
Affected by the high-frequency sound waves from the flashbangs, the Lickers were frozen in place.
There were at least 100 of them!
“How could this be… ”
