302: This tank is awesome.
“This guy’s trying to run. Xi Ba, go check it out. I’ll block him from behind. This person has a grudge against Dawn Base; we can’t let him get away. Cheng Xiao, you go clean up the battlefield.” Pan Han immediately sensed Li Bailong’s whereabouts through his divine sense.
“Yes!” The two women replied simultaneously and immediately acted.
After the bombing just now, out of over 400 people in Happy Valley, less than 100 survived, and they were all in a daze.
Several Intermediate Evolvers also died, so Cheng Xiao went to pick up the spoils.
Meanwhile, Dili Abasi quickly arrived at the permanent fortification, which was a mess from the bombing.
Only half of the entrance remained. She moved aside several large rocks before she could squeeze in sideways.
Pan Han hovered 20 meters in the air, a figure in his mind fleeing through the tunnel.
“Heh heh, Little Bailong, today I’ll pull your tendons.” Pan Han leisurely tracked him from above.
With two mech Intermediate Evolvers sandwiching him from front and back, there was no way he could escape.
Dili Abasi entered the fortification and indeed found a secret passage.
Just as she was about to enter, she felt something was off. There were explosives at the entrance of the cave. If Li Bailong detected someone entering, he would definitely blow up the entrance.
“Commander, this guy has an ambush.” Dili Abasi relayed the situation to Pan Han.
“You put some pressure on him from behind, make him run faster. I’ll block him at the exit.”
Hearing the command, Dili Abasi launched a small drone into the secret passage and then retreated.
Soon, the drone footage was synchronized on Dili Abasi’s and Pan Han’s helmet screens.
The drone quickly caught up to Li Bailong, staying about ten meters behind him, closely following.
Li Bailong felt something tracking him from behind, turned around, and fired several shots, almost hitting the drone.
“This bastard, he’s quite resilient. Let’s give him a push.” Pan Han fired several rockets, accurately landing above Li Bailong’s head.
Instantly, a lot of dust fell in the secret passage, and the huge explosion scared Li Bailong so much he didn’t dare to move.
“Damn it, they’re really on my tail. Fuck!” Li Bailong, his face covered in dust, cursed.
He still didn’t know who had come for him.
Ever since he ran away, he had finally managed to settle down here, quickly rising to the position of boss by leveraging his status as an Intermediate Evolver.
He had only had a few good days before being targeted again!
Li Bailong lay in the secret passage, recalling his life. Besides ruining some young girls, eating some children, brutally killing some old women, robbing tens of thousands of people of their food, and betraying his brothers a few times, he hadn't done anything truly bad!
Why was he so unlucky??
While he was reflecting on his life, Dili Abasi, using the information relayed by the drone, launched several more tracking rockets.
Li Bailong also sensed danger and instantly detonated the explosives in the secret passage.
With a loud bang!
The entrance to the secret passage collapsed, and the rockets were blocked outside.
However, this spurred Li Bailong to keep running. This secret passage of his had been built by previous Happy Valley lords, leading directly to a dense forest several kilometers away.
At the exit, there was a small armory containing a tank. As long as he got the tank, he would still have a chance to fight.
Seeing the entrance collapsed, Dili Abasi had no choice but to emerge and rendezvous with Pan Han, tracking Li Bailong from the air.
A few minutes later, they flew over the dense forest but couldn't see the exit.
“It must be hidden. Let’s wait.” The two mechs waited patiently for him to emerge.
Meanwhile, Cheng Xiao had already dealt with all the remaining people.
It wasn't that she was ruthless, but rather that there were simply no personnel to guard prisoners, so it was better to kill them all.
“He’s about to come out.” Pan Han could feel that Li Bailong had emerged from the cave, but he still couldn't see him.
Suddenly, a large bush moved, followed by the roar of an engine.
“Not good, he has equipment!” Pan Han quickly warned Dili Abasi to gain altitude.
The two of them rapidly flew to an altitude of 300 meters and widened their distance to prevent the opponent from concentrating fire.
Sure enough, a flash of fire from inside the bush, and a shell shot straight towards Dili Abasi.
“Be careful!” Pan Han immediately locked onto the attack position and warned Asiba.
The opponent was also prepared and evaded quickly, the shell grazing her foot.
How dangerous!
“Damn it, it’s actually a tank.” Pan Han cursed and increased his altitude again to 1200 meters.
Tank shells are no joke. In the apocalypse, heavy tanks mostly have calibers exceeding 140mm, and armor-piercing shells have muzzle velocities exceeding 3000 meters/second. At such speeds, reaction time is very short.
After dodging, Dili Abasi also quickly gained altitude and then fired several high-explosive shells.
These small bombs definitely wouldn't work with a frontal attack; she could only try the top armor.
After a few loud bangs, the bush was blown away, revealing a heavy tank over 10 meters long and weighing over 80 tons.
Unfortunately, the top armor was unharmed, only showing a few small gray spots.
This type of tank uses an unmanned turret, with no personnel entry/exit points on top, only composite armor, making it impervious to most weapons.
While the two were observing the tank, another shell flew straight towards Pan Han.
Fortunately, the distance was high enough, and Pan Han easily dodged it.
“Damn it, this turtle shell is indeed tough!” Pan Han, in frustration, fired a burst of machine gun bullets.
Clink, clank, it merely tickled the tank.
The current situation was that Pan Han couldn't penetrate the armor, and Li Bailong couldn't hit Pan Han.
But the advantage was definitely on Pan Han's side, as he was airborne.
At this moment, Cheng Xiao also arrived and joined the fight.
“Oh my, he actually has a heavy tank!” Cheng Xiao was also greatly surprised.
“We can’t penetrate it, but we can’t let him escape easily either. Bomb the surrounding mountains to crush him.” Pan Han observed the terrain and found that the mountains behind could be utilized.
So the three mechs launched countless rockets and high-explosive shells, and the mountain instantly cracked open. Many gravel fell around the tank.
Li Bailong knew the opponent had changed tactics and decided not to retaliate, choosing to escape first.
A cloud of black smoke billowed from the bottom of the tank, and the 80-ton behemoth began to move.
With a few charges, it pushed aside all the surrounding rubble, and the tank began to race away.
“Heh heh, that’s all you’ve got. Just wait and see what I can do!” After a few rounds, Li Bailong also knew that the opponent’s firepower was insufficient, and his mind settled slightly.
A few minutes later, the tank drove out of the dense forest and stopped on a nearby grassy area, ready to fight Pan Han to the death!
Li Bailong wasn’t stupid; facing an airborne opponent, running was futile.
Pan Han and the other two followed behind, avoiding the direct aim of the tank’s cannon.
Suddenly, two rectangular boxes on either side of the tank’s turret lifted, followed by 4 flashes of fire, and four anti-aircraft missiles shot into the sky.
“This tank is amazing!” Pan Han shouted, quickly flying backward, his back machine gun switching to anti-aircraft mode, sweeping at the missiles.
Cheng Xiao and Dili Abasi did the same.
Instantly, several fiery snakes intertwined in the sky.
Fortunately, the missiles flew slower than the shells, and after a few bursts, all four missiles were shot down.
Now, Pan Han and the other two had little ammunition left and temporarily had no way to deal with the iron turtle!
