75: End of the Battle

Aureole Valley, hinterland, supply warehouse.

“Tatata! Tatata!”

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

“Boom!”

Explosions and gunshots, not particularly intense, rang out in the center of the battlefield's crossfire.

Fang Yun held up 'remnant echo', making the Nightwalkers opposite him have their heads blown open one by one.

“One, two, three, four. No five, six, seven, eight.”

With the help and support of Valentine, Toke, Glenn, and others, Fang Yun only had time to kill four Nightwalkers before the supply warehouse's defensive line had already been broken by them.

As for the Nightwalkers who scrambled into vehicles and fled, Fang Yun and the others did not continue the pursuit.

“Those fleeing Nightwalkers can be left to Karl and the others; let's continue advancing.”

Valentine's voice came from the squad channel.

Before the others could reply, what followed immediately was Glenn's calm voice stopping them:

“No rush, first arrange for a few people to check out the supply warehouse of the 'Black Hand' settlement.”

“See if there are any Nightwalkers hidden in the supply warehouse.”

“Also, while we're at it, we can get some supplies and weapons for free.”

Valentine laughed heartily:

“Captain Glenn is right, I was too hasty.”

“I volunteer. Count me among the people checking the supply warehouse.”

Glenn revealed a smile and said in the squad channel:

“Valentine, Toke, Vavinia, Fang Yun, the four of you go into the warehouse to check.”

Valentine and the other two are old partners, one main firepower, one secondary gunner, one support.』

『Add a powerful Fang Yun, it can ensure that Valentine and the other two won't fail unexpectedly.』

『Hmm, as expected of me, the personnel allocation is very reasonable.』

Just as Glenn was thinking, Fang Yun and the other three had already gotten out of the vehicle and arrived in front of the supply warehouse's main gate.

Fang Yun used 'Eagle Vision Wolf Gaze' to scan the supply warehouse beforehand and found an external camera on the warehouse's outer wall.

For safety's sake, Fang Yun turned his head and whispered a warning to Vavinia and the other two:

“Let's go in a bit later, first let me see if there are any traps inside.”

After speaking, Fang Yun, through the camera, hacked into the supply warehouse's independent small subnet.

「Targeting, Activate!」

He shouted a chuunibyou line in his heart, and Fang Yun successfully understood the situation inside the warehouse clearly.

「Hmm. There are only five Nightwalkers hidden behind the shelves, there are no proximity mine traps or other traps.」

「That's right, there are a lot of ammunition and some grenades in the warehouse. If proximity mines were placed, then once the mines explode, the enemies wouldn't survive, but the Nightwalkers themselves wouldn't survive either.」

Fang Yun shared the intelligence information through the temporary internal team communication channel privately set up by the four of them with Vavinia and the other two, and whispered:

“I used 'Magic Puppet' to interfere with the Nightwalkers' hearing ability inside the warehouse.”

“After going in, Vavinia, Valentine, Toke, each of you is responsible for taking care of one Nightwalker, I'll be responsible for dealing with the last two.”

“Any problem?”

Vavinia and the other two all nodded silently.

〖What? You're saying why didn't Fang Yun use the Hacker ability 'Stare Who Dies' to directly take care of the Nightwalkers?〗

〖Ah, after all, this is the Buckle Family's revenge operation, they have to feel like they're participating, right?〗

Seeing this, Fang Yun no longer delayed, controlled the subnet, and opened the supply warehouse's main gate.

The main gate made a slight sound and slowly opened to both sides.

Fang Yun and the other three walked in silently.

Because the sky had already darkened long ago, plus the brightness within the valley was already lower, the Nightwalkers hiding in the warehouse, after their hearing ability was interfered with by Fang Yun, didn't even discover that the warehouse's main gate had been opened.

These five Nightwalkers were still foolishly chatting in the communication channel:

Nightwalker A: “Huh? Just now I heard movement outside the main gate, why can't I hear anything now?”

Nightwalker B: “You idiot, they must be worried that there's a bomb installed behind the main gate and don't dare to come in.”

Nightwalker C: “You're the big idiot. Have you forgotten that there's a very skilled Hacker among them?”

Nightwalker C (swallowing a mouthful of saliva): “I reckon the situation inside the warehouse has already been figured out by them. Including us who are hiding behind the shelves.”

“……”

In the communication there was silence for a few seconds.

Just then, several gunshots suddenly rang out from the silent supply warehouse.

Nightwalker D (eyes wide): “What's going on?! Where did the gunshots come from?! I didn't even hear footsteps!”

Nightwalker C (looking at his teammate's grayed-out avatar): “No way, man. How did you die?!”

Before the only two remaining Nightwalkers could make a move, Fang Yun's figure had already appeared like a ghost suddenly behind the two of them.

“Hehe, the Grim Reaper is here.”

“Bang! Bang!”

The two gunshots rang out almost one after another.

C and D, with confusion and bewilderment still lingering on their faces, lay down on the ground.

“After cyborgs die, do they go to electronic heaven? Or descend to data Nether?”

“As nameless minions who have done all manner of evil, perhaps you can only descend to data Nether.”

Fang Yun, whose thoughts had drifted slightly, remarked, put away his pistol, and walked towards Vavinia and the other two.

Before getting close, Fang Yun heard Valentine's happy shout.

“Woohoo, taking off.”

“The goods the tribesmen lost while doing commissions are all here, and there are also some military laser grenades that are hard to come by.”

“Really good, the supply warehouse is really good.”

Fang Yun walked up to Vavinia and heard Toke, who was standing next to Valentine, continue:

“It's a bit of a pity that there aren't any excellent firearms in here, they're all common goods.”

Toke shook his head as he spoke, with a look of regret on his face.

〖Speaking of which, after the battle started, Toke rarely spoke. Could he be the silent type in battle? (laughs)〗

Fang Yun smiled slightly and happily interjected:

“Common goods can also be sold for money, right? And the Nightwalkers we killed earlier also had some good guns.”

“We are the victorious side, and we haven't lost anyone, so no matter how you look at it, we haven't lost out.”

Valentine and Toke laughed heartily.

“That's also true.”

“You are right.”

Vavinia hadn't spoken the whole time, she just nodded with a smile.

“Alright, now that we've ensured it's safe, let's find some supplies and then go out and rendezvous with Glenn and the others.”

Fang Yun was the first to propose the course of action.

Vavinia and the other two naturally agreed.

After searching for some ammunition and medical supplies, Fang Yun and the other three exited the supply warehouse and returned to the First Assault Squad's team.

After Fang Yun and the others finished distributing the supplies, only then did Glenn speak:

“The Second Attack Squad will arrive shortly, the guarding of the supply warehouse will be handed over to them.”

“Let's continue to look for organized defensive lines and then break through them.”

“Oh!” ×n

The members of the First Assault Squad heard this and responded in agreement one after another. Then, the vehicle formation changed direction and advanced towards the deeper parts of the valley.
