Chapter 64

"Fatso, are you guys okay over there? How did you get rocket launchers?" The Cleaner, while controlling the mech to run wildly towards the camp, shouted in the team channel.

"We're fine. The rocket launchers are from Kan Tu, not the enemy's. We're okay over here."

"Kan Tu bought them?" The Cleaner was taken aback, clearly not expecting Kan Tu to bring such things. Otherwise, a single rocket launcher could have been fired directly at the main tent, no need for any diversionary tactics.

"Do you guys have heavy machine guns too?" Just as the Cleaner was speechless, he heard the sound of a heavy machine gun through his earpiece.

"200,000 points for one, more expensive than the rocket launchers. The bullets aren't cheap either, but they're incredibly satisfying to use. A few shots can even take down a mech, but unfortunately, they can only be used to kill small monsters, not for PK or to kill bosses." Kan Tu's voice was filled with excitement, trembling slightly as he continued to fire.

"Then you guys finish them off and come join me." The Cleaner said.

Kan Tu and Tao Hua Yan might lack practical combat experience, but with over thirty landmines, rocket launchers, and heavy machine guns, and being in an ambush position, they had a significant firepower advantage, allowing them to easily slaughter dozens of opponents.

To save time, the Cleaner didn't engage the mechs following him but instead shook them off and ran towards the camp. When the camp was attacked, a signal flare had already been fired. He needed to quickly check if the main tent contained his target for decapitation. If not, he would gather information on where the target was and leave as soon as possible.

Rat-tat-tat! Rat-tat-tat... Just as the Cleaner, driving the Wolfman mech, emerged from the jungle, a heavy machine gun from the defensive position in front of the camp started firing. Clearly, some defensive forces were left behind while others pursued the Cleaner.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Several bullets hit the Wolfman mech, sparking off the armor. However, the Wolfman mech's defense was exceptional; the hit areas were dented but not penetrated. The Cleaner quickly maneuvered the Wolfman mech back into the forest, then lunged forward a few steps to escape the machine gun's range.

Once out of the machine gun's range, the Cleaner jumped out of the mech, sniper rifle in hand. The Wolfman mech's trigger had been modified slightly, with a fixed clip added next to the driver's seat to secure the sniper rifle. This way, the rifle wouldn't swing around during combat.

This modification allowed the Cleaner to avoid the problem of not knowing where to put the sniper rifle while using the mech. As for ammunition, although the Cleaner didn't have a gun space, he had a military backpack on his back, capable of carrying 70-80 kilograms of gear, which was no issue for him.

Bang! After changing the magazine, the Cleaner slowly extended the gun barrel from his hiding spot, firing an armor-piercing round that penetrated the helmet of the gunner in the defensive position, killing him with a headshot. The machine gun fell silent.

"There should only be one firing point. The others have all gone into the jungle. It's strange that only one firing point was left to guard the leader while the rest pursued the enemy." After taking out the gunner, the Cleaner frowned but didn't return to the mech. Instead, he bent over and quickly ran towards the distance, sniper rifle in hand.

Rat-tat-tat! Rat-tat-tat... A firing point typically has at least two people: a gunner and an assistant. The assistant reloads the machine gun and takes over if the gunner is killed. This firing point was no exception, so shortly after the Cleaner emerged, the machine gun started firing again.

However, the assistant, fearing the Cleaner's sniper, didn't dare to show his head. This made the machine gun's aim high, and the bullets flew into the sky, missing their target.

As the machine gun fired, the Cleaner, kneeling on one knee, aimed his sniper rifle at the assistant. Seeing the assistant's firing pattern, the Cleaner smiled and quickly advanced, taking advantage of the assistant's high aim.

The Cleaner moved quickly, making minimal noise without the mech. The gunner, out of fear, only fired wildly, not pulling the machine gun back to reload. The Cleaner fired a few shots at the defensive position to keep the gunner from showing his head.

"Hey, buddy, shooting birds?" A few minutes later, the Cleaner circled around the defensive position and appeared from the side. Seeing the soldier still firing with his head down, the Cleaner tapped the soldier's helmet with his gun. As the soldier instinctively looked up, the Cleaner fired a shot that hit him between the eyes.

"Better safe than sorry." Kicking the dead soldier aside, the Cleaner picked up the machine gun and fired a burst towards the main tent, then another towards the two adjacent tents to check if anyone was hiding there.

After entering the instance, the Cleaner noticed the difference from the outside world. Here, anything that didn't disappear after an enemy's death could be used, such as a mech left behind by a mech warrior. The heavy machine gun in the defensive position, for example, could be used after killing the enemy, just like real-world war loot.

However, there was a limitation: items could be taken but not stored. For example, the enemy's mech couldn't be stored in the mech space, and the heavy machine gun couldn't be stored in the gun space. This applied not only to guns and mechs but also to ammunition and mech energy that were seized rather than dropped. To use them, one had to carry them, making the combat experience very realistic.

Panting, the Cleaner, while firing the machine gun, suddenly heard a rapid spinning sound and looked up.

"Shit!" A military helicopter was flying towards him. However, this wasn't the reason for his expletive. When the Cleaner noticed the helicopter, it seemed to have already locked onto him. The front of the helicopter opened, revealing a cannon that fired a shell towards him, trailing flames.

The Cleaner instantly dropped the machine gun and ran a few steps to the side, then jumped and crouched, covering his head.

Boom! The shell hit the center of the defensive position where the Cleaner had been standing. The precision of the shot left the Cleaner with only a layer of dirt on his body, but he was otherwise unharmed.

The defensive position was made of sandbags, which absorbed the explosion's force, protecting the Cleaner from any significant damage.

Bang! As the dirt from the explosion was still flying, the Cleaner stood up, deployed his mech, and jumped on it, securing the sniper rifle. He then controlled the Wolfman mech to run towards the jungle.

Rat-tat-tat... Two rotating gun barrels on the helicopter fired bullets at the Cleaner, who drove the Wolfman mech to dodge and run, leaving countless bullet holes on the ground.

"What's the situation with Kan Tu?" The Cleaner's voice was tense and anxious. It was hard not to be anxious; even a seasoned soldier would feel the pressure of being chased by a helicopter with heavy machine guns.

"Finished them off, what's wrong?" Kan Tu asked, puzzled by the Cleaner's tone. In all the time he had known the Cleaner, even during boss fights, he had never heard such a tense tone.

"A helicopter and rocket launchers are here. Take it down." The Cleaner, while running the Wolfman mech in various patterns to avoid being locked onto, asked Kan Tu.

"Only one rocket launcher left, used it just now."

"Did you see the image in the team channel? I marked the helicopter's fuel tank. I'll lure it over, and you take it down with the heavy machine gun." The Cleaner looked back, took a screenshot of the helicopter, and marked the fuel tank's position.

"Can it be taken down?" Kan Tu was unsure if the heavy machine gun could take down a helicopter.

"Probably. Mount the gun on Fatso's shoulder and use all your precision skills. Remember, only one shot. If you miss, find cover. The rest is up to... Shit!"

Just as the Cleaner was giving instructions, the gunfire paused, and he heard the sound of air being torn by a rapidly approaching object. Without looking back, the Cleaner knew another shell was coming.
