Embers Ad Infinitum

The off-road vehicle and pickup truck following the two vehicles in front stopped in time, and their wheels kicked up a lot of dirt.

At this time, the few surviving robbers in the second car also pushed the door open, rolled to the ground, and looked for cover.

Although they stayed in the car and bent their backs, they were unlikely to be hit by the opponent's gunmen, but they had just witnessed the explosion of the car in front of them, and knew that in this case, the vehicle was no longer a protection, but a living coffin.

In the upper stream of the stream, where the bandits gathered, everyone except the prisoners stood up, each found the most suitable position, and hurriedly aimed at the corner of the valley.

They are all robbers with many years of experience, and they behave methodically even in the face of unexpected events.

At this moment, high-pitched music sounded at the corner of the valley, out of sight of them.

Following this melody is an intense drum beat that makes your blood boil.

Amidst the sound of drums, a figure appeared in the eyes of the bandits.

He is 1.75 meters tall. His neck, chest, and abdomen are covered with iron-black armor, and his limbs are supported by metal bones. A huge energy pack can be vaguely seen behind him, and his head goggles flash with red light.

"Military exoskeleton device!"

The bandit leader and a dozen of the most knowledgeable bandits flashed such an idea at the same time.

This caused the fear in their hearts to rise uncontrollably.

The next second, a rough male voice sounded in the smoke-filled valley:

"When the smoke rises, the country looks north..." (Note 1: Quoted from Tu Honggang's "Serving the Country with Loyalty")

Along with this singing, Long Yuehong jumped up suddenly and jumped directly into the air.

This caused all the bullets fired at his original position to miss.

As the song echoed, Long Yuehong raised one arm in mid-air and dropped the other arm downwards.

What is raised is the left hand holding the light machine gun, and what is hanging down is the right arm loaded with the grenade launcher.

The sound of rattling sounded, or bullet holes were made in the car, or the glass was broken, suppressing the main force of robbers in the distance so that they did not dare to come forward.

During the machine gun fire, a grenade was launched and flew directly between the second and third vehicles.

Boom!

The fireball, which was slightly smaller than before, exploded and swallowed several bandits.

Boom!

Another grenade flew out and landed on the windshield of the fourth car, causing fragments to fly and the screams to stop abruptly.

"The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost..." (Note 1)

Just as the explosion subsided, the rough and heroic male voice dominated the area again.

During the singing, as expected, Long Yuehong borrowed some strength from the rock wall, turned back and jumped upstream of the stream.

The main robbers tried to stop him and even used grenade guns, but he used the "comprehensive early warning system" to avoid them by changing directions in advance.

This made Long Yuehong's nervous mood suddenly relax a lot.

The power of military exoskeleton devices is fully demonstrated on this battlefield.

In a few ups and downs, he shortened the distance between him and the main force of the bandits, and once again started shooting with the light machine gun in his left hand.

Seeing that the enemy wearing a military exoskeleton device looked like a god or a demon, the bandit leader was instantly frightened.

He squatted behind his off-road vehicle, which he had added several metal plates to, and shouted loudly:

"withdraw!"

Naturally, there is a plan to evacuate. This bandit group is somewhat famous in the surrounding area. It is not just a ragtag group. Immediately, many members armed with grenade guns and submachine guns leaned out from their hiding places and went to wear military outerwear. Enemies with skeletal devices shoot wildly.

The sounds of clanging, clanging and booming boomed one after another, and many robbers either burst into blood or fell down with broken bodies.

Long Yuehong relied on her jumping, speed and reaction that surpassed humans, and with the assistance of the "comprehensive early warning system", she remained unscathed.

Occasionally, there are a few bullets that he has no time to dodge. He can also use his metal skeleton and black armor to block the danger by squatting, turning sideways, raising his hands, etc.

However, the sacrifices of seven or eight bandits also created opportunities for other bandits. They took weapons, rushed into corresponding vehicles, and ran towards the upper stream of the creek and another exit of the valley.

The cars started one after another, leaving behind some supplies and the prisoners that were too late to pack up.

"How are you? Are you envious? I'll get you one later." Jiang Baimian, who was wearing a gray-green camouflage uniform at the corner of the rock wall, smiled and asked Bai Chen, who was in a sniper stance next to him.

She seemed to be lazily carrying a personal rocket launcher.

Bai Chen said nothing as acquiescence.

She was naming enemies who could pose a threat to Long Yuehong.

——There is a Taiwanese military exoskeleton device in the front to attract firepower, and they look quite leisurely in the rear.

Shang Jianyao held an assault rifle and asked the surviving bandits to squat down with their heads in their hands.

——He placed the small speaker with a blue background and black surface on the other side of the rock wall to avoid being affected by the flames of war.

Shang Jianyao attached great importance to this partner.

Glancing slightly sideways at Bai Chen, Jiang Baimian leisurely used the rocket launcher.

Boom!

A car in the middle of the bandit's convoy exploded into a red fireball.

"Death" chose it.

The vehicle following it turned its steering wheel sharply, bypassed it without even looking at it, and headed for the exit of the valley.

At this time, the firepower that suppressed Long Yuehong had basically disappeared. He raised his right arm loaded with a grenade launcher to fire a few rounds at the bandit convoy.

With the help of the "Precision Aiming System", he zoomed in and saw panicked faces.

Long Yuehong hesitated and did not launch the grenade.

Soon, the bandit convoy ran out of the valley.

"Don't chase the poor bandits!" Jiang Baimian shouted.

She didn't mention the issue of Long Yuehong being soft-hearted in the end, because she felt that being soft-hearted after the enemy almost gave up resistance was not a bad thing.

Han Wanghuo is working hard to "be a human being", and they, the blessed humans, cannot be proud of being ruthless.

Of course, necessary caution and caution are still indispensable.

…………

The robbers drove their vehicles crazily for a certain distance. When they saw that the terrible enemy was not chasing them, they slowed down a little and calmed down.

"Where did they come from?" The bandit leader took a breath and whispered to himself.

A seemingly weak and helpless lamb suddenly turned into a demon with horns wrapped in flames!

If he knew they could come up with a military exoskeleton device, he would not hesitate to put on a smile and find a way to please him.

——When they found each other, the bandits who were resting had no time to escape, unless they left many corpses as the price like now.

At this time, a robber sitting in the passenger seat said with lingering fear and confusion:

"Boss, there seem to be only four of them."

During the fierce battle, he vaguely observed this situation.

"Four?" The first robber was shocked for a while, and then cursed to himself, "A man wearing a military exoskeleton device beat us like this. If the other three all rush up, we can only squat down. , hold your head and choose to surrender!"

Such a team is simply terrifying!

Of course, if one's bandit group can risk life and death, it is possible to kill two or three members of the other party, but how can a bandit group have such spirit?

After a few seconds of silence, the bandit leader added:

“I heard that there are some small teams of ruin hunters on the dusty earth, and each of them possesses extremely powerful strength or the most advanced and latest equipment.

"Such a team can face off against a certain number of armies from major forces, and survival and enjoyment are no longer a problem. They walk on the dust and explore the ruins of cities in order to find the door to the new world.

"That team just now might be like this."

If this is the case, you and others will gain nothing by resisting and will only lead to the destruction of the group.

At this time, the bandit leader said these words not to inflate others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige, but because he had already been defeated and fled, the stronger he made the enemy, the easier it would be for everyone to regain their mentality.

Moreover, this also shows that as a leader, it was not that he had inaccurate judgment, made mistakes in command, and was not brave enough in combat, but that the enemy was too strong.

Facing such a powerful enemy, the next step is to escape as far as possible.

…………

The male and female captives left by the bandit group looked at Long Yuehong who came back in confusion and shock, as if they had seen a god descending to earth.

Just now, they thought that the other party only had one car and a few people, and could not save themselves. Who knows, in the blink of an eye, the "Mountain Fox" bandit group with many people and sufficient weapons was beaten by one of the other party and fled in panic. A number of corpses and several companions were disembarked.

Military exoskeleton devices are really weapons of war!

When such thoughts emerged in each of their minds, additional thoughts also emerged:

"Will they continue to treat us as prisoners and sell us somewhere else?"

Among them, a half-century-old man with frosty hair stood up slowly and with difficulty.

His hands were tied behind his back and he was wearing a linen shirt and black trousers.

He was shivering a little under the winter wind blowing through the valley.

Trembling slightly, his blue eyes looked at Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen who were escorting several bandits, and he took the initiative to introduce himself:

"I am Means, the steward from the 'Linhai Alliance' Shifang Trading Company."

He spoke fluently in Gray dialect.

"Linhai Alliance?" Hearing this term, Jiang Baimian had no doubts about Means' fluent gray dialect.

"Linhai Alliance" is located in the south of "United Industry", half in the Golden River Basin and half on the southern coast.

It is composed of city-states established by Gray Earth people. The official language is Gray Earth Language. Of course, their accents are different from those of the employees of "Pangu Creatures".

Within the "Linhai Alliance", there are also city-states dominated by the Red River people and the Coast people. This is a large force that has everything and is very ordinary. It can imitate lower-level and older models of products, and high-end ones need to be imported.

Their relatively small resources are coal and iron ore.

——The coast people are a branch of the gray earth people. Their skin color is darker and their language is more difficult to understand.

"Yes." Means responded to Jiang Baimian's rhetorical question. With the help of a companion, he broke free from the rope that tied his hands.

Then, his body twitched, as if he had been scalded by boiling water, and as if he was doing a strange dance.

After a few brief movements, the half-century-old man with frosty hair spoke:

"May the breath of the gods bathe you."

Shang Jianyao, who had just retrieved the small speaker and drove over in his Jeep, saw this scene and his eyes suddenly lit up.
