Pekhovski stayed behind, while Luo Tai and Wesley arrived near the headquarters of the Assassin's Guild. The location was in the suburbs of New Jersey. Wesley, of course, was familiar with the place. Originally, they had prepared a truck and hundreds of rats, which were to be tied with timed bombs. Just like in the movie, they planned to release the rats at the entrance and then trigger the explosion.
However, Luo Tai told Wesley that there was no need for such measures. After they arrived, they hid in the bushes about a hundred meters away. Wesley pointed to the headquarters, which looked like a castle, and said, "Look, the high-rise buildings inside are guarded by assassins behind the windows. They have large sniper rifles and powerful machine guns. The city gate is covered in iron, and without explosives, we can't get in at all."
Luo Tai looked at the "castle" and the surroundings. It was just like in the movie. He said to Wesley, "Wait here for a moment. Our 'firepower' will be here soon." With that, he ran to a distant open area. Wesley still shook his head in confusion, then took out a pair of binoculars and began to carefully observe the castle.
After reaching the open area, Luo Tai raised his wristwatch. He used the enhancement card on the Chinese-made Type 99 heavy tank and learned the tank operation skills at level 7 (6 months). Although they could also charge in following the movie's method, it would be risky and time-consuming.
This approach would be more secure. If they relied entirely on the tank, the mission would be completed more safely!
After setting it up, Luo Tai clicked the draw button. The watch began to spin rapidly.
"Beep!" The watch stopped, and Luo Tai quickly checked: "Congratulations, you have drawn the Chinese-made Type 99 heavy tank and learned tank operation skills at level 7 (6 months). Note: The tank operation skills will automatically disappear after six months or when you leave this movie world. 200 points of virtue have been deducted, leaving 328 points of virtue."
Before Luo Tai could shout "Yes!" in excitement, he heard a "bang" beside him. A massive Type 99 heavy tank appeared out of nowhere. All the necessary equipment was complete. Then, his mind was filled with countless tank operation skills. Unlike permanent skills, Luo Tai did not feel himself entering a black space but learned on the spot.
"Wow!!" In an instant, Luo Tai became a skilled tank operator.
The tank was brand new, painted in Chinese camouflage green with military emblems. Luo Tai quickly climbed onto the tank, opened the hatch, and got inside.
The Chinese Type 99 main battle tank has excellent protective features, using composite armor and integrating modern information warfare technology. It is the primary assault force of the Chinese Army's armored and mechanized infantry divisions.
The driver's seat is located in the center of the front of the vehicle. The driver's hatch is a single piece, equipped with three periscopes. The central one can be replaced with a binocular starlight night vision device, with an effective range of about 200 meters at night. The turret combat compartment can accommodate two people, with the commander on the right side of the gun. The commander's hatch is surrounded by five periscopes.
The tank has a combat weight of 51 tons, a maximum road speed of 80 km/h, and a maximum off-road speed of 60 km/h. It is equipped with a 125mm high-pressure smoothbore gun, with tungsten alloy fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds capable of penetrating 700mm of armor. It uses a 1200 horsepower engine, providing protection equivalent to 480mm of homogeneous steel armor against APFSDS rounds and 550mm of homogeneous steel armor against shaped charge warheads.
It is also equipped with a laser-guided missile system, with a total of 40 rounds of ammunition. Auxiliary weapons include a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun with 2500 rounds and a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun with 500 rounds.
To put it simply, this armored main force for land warfare, when placed here, would be like a slaughter. What the hell is curved bullets, what the hell is concentrated fire, in front of such powerful armor, they are just kindergarten lollipops!
While Wesley was still carefully observing, he suddenly heard a loud engine noise behind him. He immediately turned around in confusion.
He was instantly petrified, completely and utterly!
The hatch opened, and Luo Tai poked his head out, shouting, "Come on, there's room for two inside."
Wesley still stared dumbfounded, repeatedly shouting in his mind, "Oh my God, oh my God!!"
"Come on, let's finish this and go home early!" Luo Tai shouted again.
At this point, Wesley shook his head vigorously and climbed into the tank. Luo Tai closed the hatch. Wesley saw the advanced digital displays in the cockpit, all in Chinese, while Luo Tai operated the tank skillfully.
"You... you... what's going on? How did you get this thing? Are you a heavy arms dealer?" Wesley asked from the passenger seat.
Luo Tai clicked a few buttons on the control panel and saw the clear forward view through the periscope. "Hehe, didn't I tell you? I have a tank," Luo Tai said to Wesley. "This is a Chinese Type 99 heavy tank. Do you think we still need to tie bombs to rats?"
Wesley shook his head in a daze and then rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Luo Tai smiled and said, "Sit tight, we're going in boldly. We're going to blast the hell out of the Brotherhood!"
"Vroom vroom vroom!!" Luo Tai revved the engine, and the tank charged towards the castle gates.
The assassins on the city walls, who were idly standing guard, suddenly saw a 50-ton tank charging towards the gate.
Before they could understand what was happening, Luo Tai fired the first shot.
"Boom!!" A loud explosion.
The tank's first shot shattered the gate, and it quickly rolled over. "Boom!!" The second shot was aimed at the main building's entrance.
"Boom!" The main building's entrance and part of the wall were directly blown away.
"Crash!!" All the assassins of the Brotherhood, including Sloan, were shocked. They quickly mobilized, firing at the tank from all directions, throwing grenades and explosives.
However, these things hitting the tank were like scratching an itch.
Luo Tai calmly watched the group fire, turning to Wesley and asking, "The feast has begun. Let's take care of these guys first, then you point out the place, and we'll continue the attack."
Wesley had clearly recovered and was excited by the powerful tank. He smiled and said, "You're something else, Luo. It's too damn cool. Oh my God, I can't wait for the feast."
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
Luo Tai fired over ten shots. The assassins no longer acted coolly, instead screaming in terror. Some were directly blown apart, their bodies split. Others were crushed into meat paste along with the walls.
In just five minutes, the main force of the assassins was completely wiped out. Luo Tai then drove the tank to the training and treatment room at the back.
Similarly, he did not hesitate to level the place! The butcher assassin who trained Wesley in the movie didn't even make a sound as he was blown into the sky, his fat body split into five pieces, dying a miserable death!
This slaughter-style attack lasted for twenty minutes. The once beautiful castle instantly turned into ruins. Luo Tai knew he couldn't continue the bombardment. He had a mission to ensure Fogg's survival.
Moreover, he had observed clearly that he did not see Sloan or Fogg, or even the few assassins from the end of the movie.
"Where could Sloan be?" Luo Tai stopped the slaughter and asked Wesley.
Wesley pointed at the screen and said, "Behind this broken building, there's a secret room. Sloan must be there."
Luo Tai nodded and said, "Let's go out and face him head-on!"
Wesley nodded in agreement, and the two slowly exited the tank. Since most of the assassins had been killed, those who survived were either disabled or had fled. Therefore, they did not encounter any trouble when they came out.
Wesley drew his gun, and Luo Tai took out a throwing knife, both heading towards the final secret room. However, after taking a few steps, Luo Tai's watch vibrated slightly. He looked at it in confusion, and the watch displayed: As a lottery item, the tank can be stored by clicking the button when not in use and released when needed!
Luo Tai excitedly clicked the storage button. "Whoosh!!" The Type 99 tank disappeared right before his eyes.
Wesley continued to move forward cautiously, not noticing this. Luo Tai touched his watch and smiled to himself, "This is what I call awesome. It turns out that temporary items drawn can be stored in the watch until you leave the movie, and can be used at any time."
