142: Chapter 136 Ambush

Chapter 136: Ambush

On the outskirts of the Infinite Building, after compiling the information he had gathered, Feng Bo immediately reported it to Wang Ting.

"We now hold Chu Gan's younger brother in our hands, giving us sufficient chips to negotiate with them and force them to retreat."

Feng Bo wanted to maximize the usefulness of Deputy Leader Chu Quan; hostage exchange was undoubtedly the method to reap the greatest benefits with the minimum cost, so while reporting, he also put forward his own suggestion.

"Given Chu Gan's personality, if he sends a large force over, it will be at least a large squad of dozens or even a hundred people, and heavy weapons like rocket launchers will definitely be fully equipped. Under this kind of firepower intensity, relying solely on our current thirty or forty people, even if the leader makes a move, I'm afraid the final result of a firefight will still suffer heavy losses."

It was true that Wang Ting was an Extraordinary, but an Extraordinary also existed on Chu Gan's side.

Even though Feng Bo was confident in Wang Ting, he would not underestimate the enemy's strength and firepower.

From beginning to end, winning was not the most important thing; obtaining the maximum benefit was the most crucial.

Wang Ting pondered slightly, then shook his head: "Do you think that in front of such an Infinite Building, such a simple threat could make them retreat?"

Feng Bo was stunned by Wang Ting's question.

He was not a fool either, and immediately replied: "Absolutely impossible. Which Shelter wouldn't covet the value of such a habitable floor? We are simply trading time for space; as long as they retreat for a period of time and we build our walls here, if they want to take it down again, they will have to invest several times the force, and even pay several times the casualties to possibly do so. By then, our strength will have already undergone earth-shattering changes."

The Outpost Camp held things like the Tyrant Arena and the Blood Vine Corpse Tree, as well as a researcher like Researcher Huoling who could make extraordinary potions.

Just the extraordinary potions currently on hand included 2 Painless and 1 Gardener.

As long as they were given time, the strength of the Outpost Camp would rapidly increase, and by then it wouldn't necessarily be clear who would beat whom.

Feng Bo's idea was good, but Wang Ting knew a principle even better: strike one punch to avoid a hundred punches.

Bullet Town's strong position determined its overbearing nature, so Wang Ting had to act even more resolute and overbearing than them.

It wasn't that he wanted to fight to the death with the people from Bullet Town; if they fought to the death, the casualties might be too large, which did not meet their interest requirements.

But there was one thing that had to be done, which was to hurt them badly so that they would lose the ability to continue occupying.

The roar of motorcycles sounded, and Fu Xing drove a motorcycle right in front of the motorcade.

"Boss, Captain Dong's side has already discovered Bullet Town's motorcade, just fifteen kilometers away."

Hearing this news, a fierce glint flashed in Wang Ting's eyes, and he immediately gave a decisive order: "Take the captives from Bullet Town, everyone grab your equipment and come with me!"

Everyone immediately stood up, picked up their equipment, and along with the three vehicles from Bullet Town—where all the captives were crammed inside—the entire motorcade drove majestically toward the north.

In order to ascertain the situation of Bullet Town's motorcade, Dong Hu not only released drones, but also dispatched the entire exploration team to extend their search in the designated direction, which allowed them to find the whereabouts of the people from Bullet Town in advance.

The distance of fifteen kilometers left Wang Ting and the others enough time to set up many things.

Fu Xing led Wang Ting all the way forward, arriving near a winding road where both sides of the roadway had undulating hills, uneven in height, extending for several hundred meters.

Fu Xing said: "This place is the only way to reach this Infinite Building. The hills on both sides are large; if they take a detour, they will waste a lot of time, so they will definitely come this way."

Wang Ting nodded; this was a path specially scouted by Dong Hu and Fu Xing, and it was indeed a good location for an ambush.

"Everyone ambush on both sides of the hills, and park the vehicles further down the hills to avoid being discovered by them."

Wang Ting gave the order, and Dong Hu, who was responsible for reconnaissance, also hurried over quickly.

"Boss, this is the situation of their motorcade."

Dong Hu slipped the wristband controlling the crow feather drone onto Wang Ting's hand.

At this moment, through the crow feather drone hidden in the clouds high above, Wang Ting clearly saw Chu Gan and his grand motorcade.

"They really are rolling in wealth."

A look of solemnity appeared between Wang Ting's brows.

The entire motorcade had a total of 10 vehicles, with seven or eight motorcycles clearing the way.

At the lead was a light armored vehicle, which looked like it might have been modified from a truck, welded with a large amount of armor, tightly sealed, with only positions like windows slightly exposed, resembling a steel war behemoth.

The accompanying 9 vehicles were all trucks or off-road vehicles, new and old, all retrofitted with armor.

The motorcade was almost at full capacity; although there was no way to count them in detail, a rough estimate showed that this was a motorcade of a hundred people.

Heavy machine guns were mounted on the tops of the armored vehicle and the truck in the middle.

The accompanying motorcycle riders also had quite a few ammunition magazines hanging on their bodies.

Judging the whole by a single spot, compared to ordinary Shelters, this motorcade possessed formidable firepower and was armed to the absolute extreme.

Not to mention the headcount, just these two heavy machine guns alone were enough to fend off ordinary leader-tier individuals; if rocket launchers were also hidden inside the carriages, it would be even more formidable.

"There are still 7km, and they will pass by our location."

Dong Hu had conducted early reconnaissance and naturally knew the terrain passed along the way, roughly estimating the distance.

Wang Ting pondered for a moment, then waved his hand backward, and 20 bat-bee grenades appeared in front of everyone.

"Distribute the grenades to both sides, and when the motorcade is halfway past, throw them in."

Wang Ting looked at Feng Bo and took out the corpse hound sniper rifle as well: "You lead the men to be responsible for sniping, first ensure that the heavy machine guns are silenced, and handle the rest as you see fit."

Wang Ting assigned all the tasks, and the entire team split into left and right routes, ambushing on the towering hills.

Time passed bit by bit, and the sand grains blown by the strong wind had already covered the bodies of those lying prone.

Although it was just a thin layer, their figures became even less conspicuous.

However, the tiny sand grains poured into their clothes through the gaps, clinging tightly to their skin, making people feel very uncomfortable.

About half an hour later, a plume of rolling dust appeared on the distant road.

The dust was very small at first, but it instantly caught the attention of the observers.

In the perspective of the crow feather drone, Bullet Town's motorcade had finally arrived.

The motorcycles leading the vanguard slowly drove over, about two or three hundred meters away from the motorcade behind them, looking like vanguard soldiers as they came to scout the road this way.

The moment they saw the motorcycles, everyone buried their heads deeper, letting the sand and dust cover their bodies.

The motorcycle riders were the vanguard; if they were discovered, this ambush wouldn't need to continue.

Everyone held their breath and stared fixedly, bit by bit waiting for the motorcycle riders to drive past the main road.

Fortunately, the people from Bullet Town came aggressively, but their vigilance was not high.

They had already been dazzled by the joy brought by the habitable floor of this Infinite Building.

Iron Ash Town, which had discovered the Infinite Building together with them, had already been repelled a step earlier.

In such a short period of time, no matter how one thought about it, it was impossible for a second team to compete with them; since there was no competition, there was even less talk of an ambush.

The motorcycle team quickly drove past the ambush location and continued driving into the distance.

After they left, the motorcade also slowly drove into this road flanked by hills on both sides.

One, two, three—when the fourth vehicle entered the curve, the observers on both sides simultaneously let out a shout: "Attack!"

bat-bee grenades were directly thrown toward the motorcade, the pitch-black grenades looking like rolling pumpkins as they landed directly around the motorcade.

Chu Gan on the motorcade suddenly changed his expression when he heard the sound of the grenades landing.

But it was already too late for him to make a response, and the roars sounded one after another.

After the bat-bee grenades exploded, they produced a violent shockwave, and the entire motorcade was completely plunged into the sonic shockwave.

Buzzing sounds rang out incessantly, and the vehicles swayed unsteadily.

The few vehicles at the very front were the most miserable; the grenades exploded directly beside the wheel hubs, instantly blowing the wheels and more than half of the doors to pieces, leaving only the armored vehicle barely intact.

The motorcade was forced to stop, and the members inside the carriages were thoroughly disoriented by this sonic shock.

A small half of the people directly fainted under the impact of the shockwave, their eyes rolling back.

The rest didn't have it easy either; their heads buzzed, endless tinnitus came from their ears, and a lot of blood was shaken out of their mouths and noses.

"Don't get out of the car!"

Chu Gan was an Extraordinary with stronger strike resistance.

After the grenade explosion, he kicked open the car door and rushed straight out holding a rifle.

The remaining members who had suffered the shock but still maintained clarity also took up their guns one by one and strafed toward the hills.

Even so, the counterattacking firepower was still very fierce.

Relying on the vehicle armor, they could effectively fend off bullets.

Although they didn't dare to get out of the car easily, and the shooting ports on the vehicles were slightly lacking, they could still organize a relatively effective counterattack.

Bullets flew toward the hills, hitting quite a few members of the Outpost Camp.

The wounded members were directly pulled down by their companions beside them.

The others quickly filled the positions, continuously firing to suppress Bullet Town's firepower.

Whether it was Feng Bo, Dong Hu, or Wang Ting, all of them wore cold expressions and were not shaken by the casualties.

Fighting a war would inevitably lead to casualties.

Even though the members of their Guard Team were currently in short supply, every person injured was a considerable loss.

But these casualties were unavoidable, and what they had to do now was to thoroughly scare Bullet Town.

Chu Gan rushed out of the motorcade at this moment, but he was still forced back by the powerful firepower, unable to charge up for a moment.

His gaze swept across; there were people on both hills, estimated to be around thirty or forty people, and their firepower was not much weaker than theirs.

He cursed inwardly: "Damn it, which Shelter dares to come and mess with our Bullet Town?"

"Heavy machine guns suppress, take out the rocket launchers and blast them for me!"

Chu Gan gave the order, and those heavy machine gun operators could only brave a hail of bullets to man the heavy machine guns.

As soon as they poked their heads up, Feng Bo had already noticed their movements and sneered: "What I've been waiting for is you guys!"

With a bang, the Bullet Town combatant who had just grabbed the heavy machine gun had half his body blown apart by a single shot from the anti-materiel sniper rifle.

The same went for the machine gun operator on the other truck; just as he was getting ready to act, several bullets pierced through, directly puncturing him.

Chu Gan's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, as if he had been smeared with charcoal.

How could he not understand now that his firepower deployment had already been targeted by the opposite side.

"Lin Ping, charge with me."

Chu Gan and Lin Ping exchanged glances and immediately began to charge.

They were both Extraordinaries wearing bulletproof vests, moving at extreme speeds, running in zigzags like cheetahs.

Ordinary combat members simply couldn't keep up with their reaction speed.

Coupled with the perception of their wild instincts, even if bullets targeted them, they could dodge instantly, and nothing could slow down their steps in the slightest.

In an instant, they charged toward the two hills and reached the halfway point.

This position was closer, and because the sand and dust whipped up by their charge were greater, it further obstructed vision, making it difficult to lock onto them.

Chu Gan fired repeatedly, and two Guard Team members who poked their heads out were directly shot in the head.

Seeing him charge up, Wang Ting's mind stirred, and he immediately commanded the Giant Claw Night Demon and Vine Spider Nurse to charge toward Chu Gan.

As soon as the two monsters appeared, Chu Gan was greatly startled, then put on a pair of spiked gauntlets and smashed directly toward the Giant Claw Night Demon that intercepted him.

With a loud bang, the massive body of the Giant Claw Night Demon was actually smashed back several steps by him; in terms of strength, he, the Extraordinary, still had the upper hand.

On the other side, Lin Ping charged straight toward the top of the left slope.

Seeing that Lin Ping was charging at an extremely fast speed, Wang Ting gave an order to Researcher Huoling: "Leave this person to you."

Researcher Huoling was stunned at first, then calmly accepted the task: "I need a weapon."

Wang Ting directly threw the withered wood alloy knife that was originally in Feng Bo's hands to her.

Researcher Huoling took the knife, and without a second word, her figure became like a nimble pronghorn, charging straight toward Lin Ping.

Lin Ping never expected that there would be another Extraordinary in this team, and was startled for a moment, but his expression also turned cold: "I'd like to see just how formidable you people are."
