Chapter 85

Because the "Urban Smart Grid Control Center" covered a vast area and was extremely peculiar, the "Hyena" bandits did not dare to enter it, and thus could not occupy the rooftop of that building. They could only station three snipers on the surrounding buildings.

This led to Jiang Baimian, who was on the street opposite the side door of the "Urban Smart Grid Control Center," being able to move along the wall without being seen by two of the snipers.

The sniper responsible for the main entrance area, due to the distance and poor angle, had almost no chance of hitting her—only a "Chosen One" who had undergone genetic modification and had exceptional talent and expertise in sniping would have a certain level of confidence.

Moreover, the water truck blocked part of the sniping route.

As a result, when Jiang Baimian took a step forward and pulled back her left arm, no one interfered with her.

She swung her arm and threw the metal scissors.

Countless intertwined silver-white electric snakes left bright trails, accurately hitting the object on the armored vehicle's roof that resembled an antenna.

With a crack, a fierce and powerful current surged, instantly flooding the interior of the armored vehicle, ravaging its electronic systems.

Some of the equipment inside failed due to overload protection, some emitted black smoke, and others exploded, affecting the members inside.

Shang Jianyao, waiting in the nearest house, immediately swung his arms and rushed out as soon as he saw the group leader's attack succeed.

This time, he did not carry an assault rifle to avoid affecting his speed and agility.

One step, two steps, Shang Jianyao lunged forward, diving under the armored vehicle in a fish-like leap.

By the time he stabilized himself and clung to the chassis, there were two gunshots along the route he had run.

Shang Jianyao then released one hand, waved his fingers outside the vehicle, and laughed:

"You're not good enough, your reaction is too slow..."

As he spoke, his eyes quickly turned dark.

A few seconds later, someone on the roof of the armored vehicle pushed open the hatch and stood up, attempting to directly operate the heavy machine gun.

This impulsive action took him out of the protection of the armor.

Bang!

Before he could clearly see the scene in front of him, a blood flower blossomed on his forehead, and his head rapidly "expanded" and shattered like fireworks.

Bai Chen, crouching at the entrance of a house, had been aiming at the heavy machine gun with her rifle.

Next, the door of the armored vehicle opened, and a muscular man carrying multiple grenades and a grenade launcher jumped down, ready to solve the target with his own strength.

Hiding behind thick armor was a cowardly act.

A true hero must advance step by step, firing shots, and settle scores with satisfaction!

Bang, bang! The man's neck was torn off, and blood spurted into the air.

At the same time, one of the grenades wrapped around his body was hit.

Boom!

A series of explosions echoed, and the charred remains of the man rained down, scattering in all directions.

In the red flames, the grenade launcher flew out, shattered into multiple pieces.

Seizing the opportunity, Shang Jianyao pulled himself up, flipped over the man's remaining two legs, penetrated the remaining flames, and rolled into the armored vehicle.

Inside, there was one more bandit, bald and looking very fierce.

At this moment, the man tried to raise his arms to shoot the enemy with his assault rifle but could not complete the action.

His hands had forgotten the corresponding instincts.

He looked at Shang Jianyao, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

"I..." He opened his mouth, trying to beg for mercy.

Shang Jianyao rushed forward, pushing the "Ice Moss" pistol into the bald bandit's mouth.

"Next life, then." Shang Jianyao responded with a deep gaze.

As he spoke, he pulled the trigger.

Bang! A bloodied bullet drilled out of the back of the bald bandit's head, hitting the armored interior and bouncing elsewhere.

Shang Jianyao then retracted the pistol, watching the bald bandit's body slowly collapse, and smelled the stench of incontinence.

He quickly grabbed the bandit's shoulders, dragging and throwing the corpse out.

Amidst the continuous gunfire, the corpse was hit by snipers.

"Done." Shang Jianyao sat in the driver's seat, picked up the radio, and said, then started the armored vehicle.

Fortunately, it was not an electric vehicle; otherwise, it might not have been operable after Jiang Baimian's attack.

With a clanging sound, the armored vehicle, under sniper fire, turned its massive body.

It drove directly onto the roadside street and stopped in front of an open room.

From this angle and position, the snipers on the high ground were completely powerless against Jiang Baimian and the others.

After Long Yuehong and Bai Chen entered the armored vehicle through the open door, Jiang Baimian nimbly jumped in.

At this moment, the water truck was still parked there, playing music and continuously spraying water to clean the bloodstains.

"We can't go straight; we either have to back up or go around." Jiang Baimian looked at the water truck and loudly muttered to herself.

"Where are the remaining members of the 'Hyena' bandits?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

After seizing the armored vehicle and the heavy machine gun, he felt a bit inflated, thinking he could launch a counterattack and wipe out the bandits who had massacred Black Rat Town.

Jiang Baimian sensed:

"There are still some signals coming from the direction the armored vehicle came from."

"The 'Hyenas' have rocket launchers, maybe even anti-tank missiles." Bai Chen reminded.

The "Hyena" bandits had thermobaric bombs and were equipped with anti-tank grenades, guns, and bullets, which was entirely possible.

"Then, let's forget it." Long Yuehong wavered instantly.

Jiang Baimian smiled, sat by the door, and said to Shang Jianyao:

"Go straight, circle around to where we parked the jeep."

Their supplies were still there.

Shang Jianyao did not speak, and the armored vehicle started moving along the street.

Along the way, the armored vehicle knocked over and crashed into countless abandoned vehicles and wooden tables, clearing a relatively wide and open path.

During this process, the snipers seemed to give up and stopped shooting.

Clearly, the three of them did not have anti-tank guns or bullets, as they initially would not have thought of dealing with their own team's armored vehicle.

That thing was thick and hard, and even the "windows" could not be broken by ordinary bullets.

At this moment, on the street where the armored vehicle had come from.

Two off-road vehicles were driving one after the other.

Lin Li, a member of the "Hyena" bandits, sitting in the back of the second vehicle, wearing a gray-green beret, held a radio and said:

"They are running forward.

"Xiao Er, give them an anti-tank rocket."

He learned the status of the armored vehicle from the snipers on the high ground and calmly ordered his subordinate with a rocket launcher in the front vehicle.

"Yes, boss." Xiao Er, the bandit with the nickname, had already seen the two corpses and charred remains left on the side of the road.

This made him feel both empathetic and furious.

Thus, the off-road vehicle he was in accelerated, rushed past the water truck, and turned in the direction the armored vehicle had fled.

By this time, the armored vehicle had reached an intersection, turned left, and left only its back view.

"Chase!" Xiao Er shouted angrily.

Because the off-road vehicles were faster and the armored vehicle had cleared a path without obstacles, they quickly caught up to the intersection and turned in.

After chasing for a while, the two off-road vehicles unknowingly left the control range of the three snipers.

After another turn, Xiao Er's eyes lit up as he saw the military green armored vehicle slowly moving not far away.

He shouldered the rocket launcher, ready to stand up through the open sunroof and destroy the target.

At that moment, his pupils suddenly dilated.

The door of the armored vehicle had opened at some point, and a woman with a ponytail appeared, holding a grenade launcher, aiming, and pulling the trigger.

After the grenade was launched, Jiang Baimian raised her right hand and waved it lightly.

Boom!

The off-road vehicle was directly hit by the grenade, rolling into a brilliant fireball.

The ammunition inside exploded, creating a series of explosions and a deafening roar.

Xiao Er and the driver next to him were completely obliterated, and the off-road vehicle lost its doors and windows, burning down to a metal skeleton.

Lin Li, who had just turned into the street, saw this scene and heard the explosion, shuddering uncontrollably.

In the glow of the fire, his face turned pale.

"Back, back!" He immediately ordered.

As long as they could leave this street, with the speed and maneuverability of the off-road vehicle, they would not be caught by the armored vehicle.

The driver of Lin Li's off-road vehicle was also frightened and made a sharp turn, then stepped on the gas, preparing to quickly return to the previous street.

Just as their vehicle turned and approached the intersection, a blood flower suddenly burst from Lin Li's temple.

Crash!

The glass on the passenger side shattered simultaneously.

The driver, not daring to check the situation, stepped on the gas, driving the vehicle out of the danger zone and disappearing at the intersection.

On the top of the armored vehicle, Bai Chen, hiding behind the heavy machine gun, took her eyes off the scope.

She then retracted the "Orange" rifle and sat down.

"How is it?" Long Yuehong asked with concern.

"The 'Hyena' is dead." Bai Chen slowly exhaled.

"Should we chase them?" Long Yuehong inflated again, wanting to wipe out the entire "Hyena" bandit group.

Hearing this, Jiang Baimian laughed and scolded:

"Do you think this is the wilderness?

"In such a dangerous and peculiar ruin, it's better not to wander around.

"Besides, we can't catch up anyway."

She looked at the closed door and said to Shang Jianyao:

"Go straight, pass two streets, then turn left, and we'll be back on the route we came from."

"Yes, leader!" Shang Jianyao answered loudly.

Through the dark bulletproof glass, he saw the streetlights shining brightly, and the "Heartless" on the sides of the street, unaffected by the explosion, were cleaning the road.

In the surrounding buildings, countless windows glowed, with figures moving back and forth.
