All of us are one

Chapter 52 Enduring Bullets!

The South Industrial Park in Milin City is quite large and laid out in a grid pattern. To prevent a sudden fire from spreading, all the factory buildings are not connected, and each factory building is protected by a wall.

Under normal circumstances, a distance of thirty or forty meters would only take about ten seconds, let alone for elite mercenaries who have undergone preliminary modifications, or even for an ordinary person running at a normal pace.

But combat is not like running; advancing thirty or forty meters along the driveway would only turn these five black-clad mercenaries into sitting ducks.

The mercenary leader looked around and gestured several tactical hand signals to his companions. When his companions nodded in understanding, he pointed at the two of them and nodded back.

The mercenary who had been called out jumped up, grabbed the edge of the top of the wall, and with the help of his companions, easily avoided the spikes on the wall and landed inside the partitioned factory building.

Another mercenary in black followed suit and successfully entered the factory. Immediately afterwards, the sound of breaking glass was heard from inside the factory.

Da da da……

The sound of automatic rifles rang out in the factory, accompanied by the sound of glass shattering.

"superior!"

After his companions drew their attention, the mercenary leader gave a soft shout and led his two companions to quickly move forward along the wall while bending over.

……

Jiang Yanming looked down at the light screen on the white arm guard on his left arm, which displayed the view of the aircraft and the surrounding three-dimensional images.

With a slight twitch of his left hand, the aircraft traced an arc in the air and flew back towards the launch site of the rocket.

Da da da……

Clap!

Suddenly, the sound of automatic rifles firing and glass shattering rang out from the factory building on the left.

"Someone's sneaking over here, we have to take care of them first!" Jiang Yanming made up his mind.

If he were alone, he wouldn't be afraid of enemies getting close, but unfortunately, he had a burden by his side—a useless cyber hacker.

"Lie still here!" Jiang Yanming instructed Eric.

He then rushed toward the factory building on the left. As he ran, his left hand twitched slightly, and the viewpoint of the flight instrument on his white arm guard immediately changed.

With the enemy in the dark and him in the light, Jiang Yanming needed the flying device to provide additional vision in order to identify potential enemies.

Logically speaking, as a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, he should be able to do the same thing with his divine sense, and even be able to detect enemies through walls. However, he needs his divine sense and a little spiritual power to continuously activate the protective jade talisman to prevent himself from being hit by stray bullets or sniper rifles.

call out!

The black and white light darted around, quickly scanning the surrounding environment. Three red dots moving along the wall stood out prominently in the 3D image.

"Snipers, gunners, assault troops, and there's probably a commander behind the scenes," Jiang Yanming analyzed in his mind, drawing on his knowledge of cyber hacking. "It seems the opponent is a mercenary squad, and they likely have experience dealing with cyber hackers."

In the chaotic lands of the Northern Continent, it's quite common for elite mercenaries to clash with cyber hackers.

Of course, most of the cyber hackers in the Northern Continent are of poor skill, the kind who mindlessly upload virus programs. There are probably not many cyber hackers who can equip themselves with aircraft, since maintaining aircraft is a huge expense.

"Assault team, an aircraft flew overhead; your position has been exposed," a gruff voice warned his comrade.

Then, he asked over the communication channel, "Richard, can we hack that aircraft?"

"You overestimate me. J and A are well-known cyber hackers in the Quad Alliance. I'm just a nobody." The cyber hacker on the communication channel said helplessly.

"You have to play a role, otherwise even if we complete the mission, we will suffer heavy losses!" The gruff voice was very dissatisfied.

"I've already tried to hack into the aircraft, but let me be clear, don't expect me to succeed," Richard sighed.

"Go quickly!" a rough voice urged.

drop by drop...

As Jiang Yanming was running, he noticed that the three-dimensional image displayed on the white arm guard suddenly flickered with a faint red light.

"Hacking? That's underestimating 'Light and Shadow's' firewall." Jiang Yanming glanced at it and then ignored it.

"Light and Shadow" is no ordinary aircraft; it is of medium to high military grade, and its firewall was meticulously designed by the instructor. Even well-known cyber hackers would need a considerable amount of time to hack into it.

call out!

The black and white light streaked through the air, rushing straight towards the three black-clad mercenaries walking along the wall.

"Launch the net!"

Bang bang bang!

With three muffled thuds, three large black nets flew out from the grenade launchers attached to the automatic rifles, forming a net that enveloped the black and white streaks of light that were attacking.

Chi Chi Chi!

Unfortunately, the three large black nets failed to capture the aircraft, and did not even slow it down; the black and white streaks of light passed right through it.

"not good!"

"The nets are useless?!"

The three mercenaries in black sensed something was wrong and quickly lay down to avoid them.

puff!

A black and white streak of light pierced through a mercenary's body, sending him flying as blood sprayed out.

"Boss, the nets are useless; we need to use electronic pulse interference," the mercenary leader reported immediately.

"Support team, suppress with rockets immediately." The rough voice sensed something was wrong and hurriedly called for backup.

Nets are a common method used in the Northern Continent to deal with flying devices. The idea for this method was derived from dealing with drones. Mercenary teams in the Northern Continent have successfully captured flying devices before.

They had used this method when dealing with electronic hackers in the Northern Continent. Although they failed to capture the flying device, they still managed to prevent the enemy from harming them.

But now he has discovered that this exceptionally tough net is effective against ordinary aircraft, but not against high-end aircraft.

"receive."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a rocket was launched in the direction where Jiang Yanming was located.

boom!

An electron pulse rocket struck the wall and exploded, spreading shrapnel and invisible electron pulses.

"How come there are still electronic pulse rockets!" Eric cried out in pain, not only from the nerve pain caused by the module malfunction, but also from being hit by shrapnel.

The range of the electronic pulse was small, and Jiang Yanming was unaffected. He had already rushed to the factory on the left and saw two men in black holding automatic rifles.

Of course, there was also a man in black lying on the ground, his slightly rising and falling chest proving that he was still alive, but the large hole in his chest indicated that he had lost his ability to fight.

Upon seeing Jiang Yanming appear, the two mercenaries in black instinctively opened fire.

Da da da……

The metallic storm of bullets swept towards Jiang Yanming, and the deliberate barrage from the two black-clad mercenaries eliminated any possibility of him taking cover.

Unfortunately for Jiang Yanming, he didn't need to dodge at all. The protective jade talisman he held in his right hand gave him the confidence to withstand the automatic rifle fire.

Ding ding ding...

Before the bullet even touched Jiang Yanming, it was deflected by an invisible force, causing stray bullets to fly everywhere. The walls and the ground were riddled with bullet holes, and a black-clad mercenary was grazed by a stray bullet.

"How is this possible!"

"They actually withstood automatic rifle fire?!"

The two mercenaries in black emptied their magazines and, seeing Jiang Yanming charging at them unharmed, looked on incredulously.

"Boss, it's a high-level martial artist! Run!"

Immediately afterwards, the mercenary leader shouted angrily, threw down his automatic rifle, and reached for the grenade hanging on his body.
