16: Fighting and crushing

Although Fang Yun drove very fast, he still arrived a bit late. Because V and Toke were about to engage in battle with the Nightwalkers.

There was no mourning for Fang Yun, who couldn't make it to the battlefield in time. Now, presenting the much-anticipated combat scene.

...

V checked the remaining weapons and ammunition on himself again.

A kinetic pistol, "Liberty", with 42 rounds, and a poisoned small knife. These were all the weapons V currently had.

V looked back at Toke, who was crouching behind him, and asked in a low voice:

"Toke, do you have any grenades left? Share some with me."

Toke took out two F-GX fragmentation grenades from his homemade tactical vest and handed them to V.

"I still have five grenades. I'll give you two."

V reached out and took them, stuffing them into his pocket.

Toke continued:

"When I hid the goods, I deliberately left some misleading tracks. Those Nightwalkers are tracking the misleading tracks and will soon step into the grenade trap I set up in advance."

"Once their formation is in disarray, I'll get up and heavily suppress them with 'saratoga'. Then, you can take the opportunity to 'call them out' one by one with your pistol."

After listening, V nodded, indicating that he understood. Then, V pressed close to the wall and looked outside through a hole in the wall.

Outside the house where V and Toke were hiding, six Nightwalkers, led by a Nightwalker with a Night Vision Ghost eye, were huddled together, maintaining vigilance while tracking the misleading tracks Toke had left.

V and Toke had been following the Nightwalkers' movements ever since they started tracking the misleading tracks.

Relying on Toke's familiarity with the town, V and Toke followed the Nightwalkers to the vicinity of the grenade trap Toke had set up in advance, without any major incidents.

Toke also saw the movements of the Nightwalkers outside through a hole next to the wall.

Seeing that the Nightwalkers were about to enter the grenade trap he had set, Toke quickly patted V, reminding V to prepare for battle.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

"Boom--!!"

Accompanied by the huge sound of three grenades exploding, one Nightwalker was directly blown to pieces, and the remaining five Nightwalkers were also more or less injured.

The Nightwalker with the Night Vision Ghost eye was knocked to the ground by the blast wave. He rolled twice on the ground, got up, and darted behind a cover.

Then, he shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Damn it! They still have grenades! Take cover! Take cover!"

After shouting, he immediately began scanning the surroundings, wanting to find V and Toke, who might be hiding somewhere nearby.

Just at this moment, V and Toke, who had been observing the Nightwalkers for a long time, also suddenly launched their attack.

Toke and V rushed out of the house and went behind the cover outside.

Toke first threw a grenade at the Nightwalker with the Night Vision Ghost eye, then raised 'saratoga' and started firing wildly at the Nightwalkers who were still lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up yet.

At the same time, V raised his pistol, aimed at a Nightwalker who was about to hide behind cover, and fired two shots, "Bang bang."

The Nightwalker who was closer to the grenade trap, blown down and hadn't had time to get up, was directly riddled with holes by Toke's 'saratoga'.

The Nightwalker targeted by V, because he didn't have subcutaneous armor installed, was hit in the head by one shot and in the heart by another, dying on the spot.

The Nightwalker with the Night Vision Ghost eye saw V and Toke rushing out of the house at a glance, but because he had to deal with the grenade Toke threw first, he couldn't interrupt V and Toke's attack in time.

After he shot the grenade, the only Nightwalkers still alive were himself and two other Nightwalkers who had hidden behind the cover next to him.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! How do they still have grenades? Why didn't they use them all when they were being chased before!?"

The Nightwalker with the Night Vision Ghost eye cursed loudly a few times, then shouted at the other two Nightwalkers who were still alive:

"Shoot! Shoot! Fight back quickly, or you'll just wait to die!"

The other two Nightwalkers seemed to wake up from a dream, quickly pulled out their guns, and started shooting towards V and Toke from behind cover.

After Toke killed the Nightwalker who was lying on the ground, he retreated back into cover, then raised 'saratoga' and fired at the Nightwalkers who were still alive, providing suppressive fire.

After V shot the Nightwalker, he rolled to another cover under the cover of darkness.

V, who had been observing these Nightwalkers for a long time, knew that his movement to change cover must have been clearly seen by the Nightwalker with the Night Vision Ghost eye on the opposite side.

However, as long as the opponent didn't want his teammates to be 'called out' one by one by himself, he could only deal with V first.

This way, Toke, who didn't have a Night Vision Ghost eye, would be temporarily safe.

V kept thinking in his mind about how to deal with the 'Night Vision Ghost' on the opposite side.

Toke can suppress the two Nightwalkers with pistols on the opposite side for a while, but 'saratoga' consumes bullets faster than the pistols on the opposite side. Confronting that 'Night Vision Ghost' all the time is not a solution.』

『Should I throw another grenade to interfere? No. What if, when I throw the grenade, the 'Night Vision Ghost' takes the opportunity to shoot the grenade or shoot at me? Then I'll be the one in trouble.』

『What should I do?』

(ps: The content in 『』 is the thoughts of others besides the protagonist Fang Yun.)

Through a lens he had picked up earlier, V used the light reflected from the gunfire to see. Because of the Night Vision Ghost function of the cybernetic eye, V was able to clearly see the movements of the Nightwalkers on the opposite side.

Once he saw the 'Night Vision Ghost' trying to lean out from behind cover to shoot at Toke, V would immediately shoot him.

The 'Night Vision Ghost' initially wanted to deal with Toke first, but was hit by a shot from V. After that, he kept hunkering down behind cover, occasionally firing a couple of shots in V's direction.

Just as the battlefield situation was in a stalemate, V saw through the reflection of the lens that a figure seemed to suddenly appear behind the Nightwalkers on the opposite side.

Then, V heard a huge sound.

"Bang--!"

Subsequently, the entire battlefield fell silent.

V looked again through the lens, there were no Nightwalkers left alive on the opposite side. There were only two bodies that had been blown into pieces, with splattered remains all over the wall behind the cover.

The 'Night Vision Ghost' was also decapitated, his head rolling out from behind the cover.

In the original position of the 'Night Vision Ghost', a tall person was standing.

That person's arms had a pair of crimson mantis blades extended, and the mantis blades were also attached with flames and electricity.
