Mitch also has a drone, but it is a castrated version.

It can only be used for reconnaissance and is not equipped with any firepower.

But these drones of Militech are different, they are all armed drones.

In fact, Aldecaldos once fought against Militech's transport team equipped with drones. At that time, the convoy only had two armed drones, which caused them a lot of trouble.

Because drones are small, fast, and very flexible, it is difficult to shoot them down.

However, drones can easily straf units on the ground.

Panam It took a lot of perseverance to stop himself from turning around and running away.

Because she knew very well that leaving her back to the enemy on the battlefield would only lead to faster death.

Compared to Panam's panic, Su Xiao seemed very calm.

"Emmerich, now! Don't give a drone a chance to attack us."

Emmerich did not answer, he responded directly with practical actions.

He carried a Honeycomb Anti-Aircraft Missile Launcher and aimed at the drone group.

Boo hoo hoo--

More than a dozen rounds of Anti-aircraft Missile, trailing smoke, flew towards the drone that was taking off.

The operator of Militech was sweating profusely and tried his best to disperse the drone swarm.

Panam was shocked.

"No, if we continue like this, we will only be able to shoot down some of them at most, and the rest can be avoided."

If this wave fails to shoot down all the drones, and if the drones take off and attack them, they may all die.

Just when Panam thought so, another change occurred.

The dozen or so rounds of Anti-aircraft Missile that were fired suddenly split into dense warheads in the air.

The warhead continued to move forward under the impetus of inertia, like a rain that covered the sky and covered all the drones that could not escape.

There is a poem to prove it: The east wind blooms flowers on thousands of trees at night, and even blows them down, and the stars are like rain.

Boom--

Countless drones exploded in the air, and then fell from the sky with flaming wreckage, like a meteor shower.

Some of the drones that fell down even accidentally injured security robots that jumped out of the car and were on guard around the convoy.

"So... so strong..."

Panam sighed again.

She found that she had sighed more in the past two days than in her entire life.

Su Xiao's group's methods are dazzling and endless.

No wonder they have the confidence to deal with a company's transport fleet.

This once again made Panam curious about the identity of Su Xiao.

Does a mere mercenary really have such financial and material resources?

"Emmerich, Crispin, Panam, free fire!"

Emmerich throw away the Anti-aircraft Missile launch tube.

He picked up the MK.31 Heavy Machine Gun, placed it on the rocky ground, and fired at the chaotic convoy below.

Crispin was not to be outdone. He narrowed one eye and put each enemy into the scope of "Achilles" Precision Rifle.

The fierce firepower easily penetrated the shells of each security robot and shattered the energy core on its chest.

Panam also calmed down and started using Kinetic Sniper Rifle to snipe the enemies one by one.

The one she uses is Mitch.

It's not that Su Xiao is stingy and unwilling to equip her with a better weapon.

But this "SPT32 Ice Storm" of High-Tech Military Industry (of course Panam himself gave this gun a new name, called Watch), is itself a powerful sniper rifle.

Panam is not used to using Precision Rifle which requires charging like "Cat Mat", and does not have "Smart Link" prosthetic body, so he cannot use "Ashura" Smart Sniper Rifle.

That's why I continue to use Kinetic Sniper Rifle from Mitch.

The security robots that got off the heavy trucks fell one after another like wheat being harvested.

Compared with drones with high-altitude advantages, their threats are obviously much smaller.

The comprehensive combat power of security robots exceeds that of ordinary militiamen, but is not as good as battlefield veterans. Otherwise, Arasaka and Militech would not have the need to support security forces. Wouldn't it be better to replace them with security robots that do not need to pay wages and need to consider taking vacations?

When choosing the location for the ambush, the group took into account the possibility that the other party would fight back, so everyone took very good protective measures.

The bullets flew overhead or hit the bunker, making a dull sound.

V, lying next to Su Xiao, turned a deaf ear to the sound of bullets flying through the air, and she didn't even blink.

Kinetic Precision Rifle in her hands is like a piano under the fingers of a pianist, playing beautiful tunes.

She blew out the tires of two off-road vehicles and the last heavy truck, making it impossible for them to escape.

The number of security robots continues to decrease, but the attackers' firepower becomes more and more fierce.

When the last gunfire stopped, the road was in chaos.

The wreckage of two heavy trucks burned on the road.

The wreckage of the drone is scattered everywhere.

Yes.

The security robot, whose core was damaged, lay scattered on the ground like a corpse.

The windshields of the two off-road vehicles were shattered, and the driver and co-pilot were both dead inside.

Su Xiao started scanning and confirmed that there were no survivors, and then he walked out of the ambush site.

Emmerich and Crispin wanted to follow them, but he quickly waved them away.

The Militech headquarters located at Corporate Plaza must have already heard the news that their transport team was attacked.

Reinforcements are definitely on the way.

Therefore, he asked others to rush to AV and be ready to evacuate at any time.

As for Herman...

An unarmed technician, he alone is enough.

From the first sound of the cannon, Herman realized that something was wrong.

But he didn't dare to go out.

Although he has been working in the building of Arasaka, he does not have any field experience.

But he's not stupid.

I know that even if I go out, it is better to hide in here.

The fighting lasted for quite a while before finally stopping.

Herman emotionally hopes that Militech wins.

But his reason told him that if this was the case, then the heavy truck he was waiting for would not remain stationary.

And when the carriage opened and Su Xiao walked into the carriage...

Herman was as panicked as a rabbit and almost jumped up.

"Who sent you?"

Although panicked, Herman still observed Su Xiao carefully.

What disappointed him was that he could not judge Su Xiao's origin and identity from Su Xiao's dress.

Su Xiao neither looks like the soldier of Special Assault Unit from Arasaka, nor does he look like Nomads.

If I have to say it, it sounds like Cyber Mercenary is employed by someone.

However, can a mere Cyber Mercenary completely wipe out Militech's security forces?

Seeing that Su Xiao didn't answer, Herman asked again, "Who sent you here? Is it Raijin Arasaka? Do you want to take me back or..."

Without giving Herman a chance to speak, Su Xiao slid forward and quickly approached behind Herman. Before he could react, he hit him on the back of the neck with his backhand and knocked him unconscious.

Catching Herman who fell head-on, carrying him on his shoulders like a sack, Su Xiao returned to AV from the heavy truck.

Chapter 204 Who am I, where am I, what kind of place is this (4K)

"Is it him? Just because this guy is going to war?"

Panam Still don't see what's so different about this bastard in a suit and leather shoes.

Isn't this no different from other Corp Dog?

"If you don't understand, don't ask. Crispin, take us out of here quickly!"

"Okay."

Crispin replied, controlling AV to quickly climb into altitude. The blue flame of the propeller at the bottom spurted out and quickly disappeared into the sky.

More than ten minutes after they left Jackson Plains, Militech's armed AV "Manticore" finally arrived belatedly.

This armed AV is equipped with amazing firepower. Even if it faces an entire Random Blade Society settlement, it can easily wipe it out.

But unfortunately, they arrived late.

The "Manticore" was high in the sky, scanning downwards from a high position.

But apart from the traces of Militech's transport team itself, no traces were left.

It was as if those attackers also came from the sky.

Deep in the Badlands.

In a canyon in the eastern badlands that is completely opposite to Jackson Plains.

Trauma Team's Heavy Armored Hovercar stopped at a place at the bottom of the canyon, in a shadow that was not exposed to the harsh sunlight.

Su Xiao carried Herman, who still had not regained consciousness, out of AV.

Then he threw it to the ground unceremoniously.

Fortunately, the ground was made of soft sand, so no one would be hurt if he fell.

However, Herman also woke up after this fall.

His eyes were confused at first.

When he saw clearly that the people surrounding him were not Militech's security forces, but unfamiliar faces...

My head, which was a little confused just now, immediately woke up.

And rolled and crawled backwards.

But soon, his back hit the rock wall.

This made his body stiffen, and he subconsciously glanced back.

Behind him is a canyon and rocks, extending infinitely on both sides, with no end in sight.

And the height is at least tens of meters high.

He definitely wouldn't be able to climb up.

If he had this ability, he would not be a technical director.

What's more, the people with guns in front of him would not just watch him climb up.

Herman used his fingers covered with sand to hold up his somewhat dirty glasses. "Where am I? What is this place?"

Su Xiao opened his arms and gave him a gentle smile.

"As you can see, the depths of the bad land, the end of civilization, the wilderness. You can yell, but I can assure you that even if you scream your throat, no one will come to save you."
