Chapter 1061: 1061
“Here’s the command center… What? There’s a riot at the refugee camp . How’s that possible?”
“I repeat, the transport team was attacked! We need backup! Sh*t—”
Following an explosion, the communication ended with static .
At the military base, several communication officers stared at each other in shock while conveying the confusion and shock through their eyes . Fortunately, the head of the command center responded quickly as he immediately grabbed a radio and connected to the rapid response force at the base, then reported the news to the person in charge .
In two minutes, two heavy transport helicopters and four Blackhawk helicopters took off and brought 32 heavily armed special forces . They wore “Lightning” exoskeletons and were armed with a special shell-less rifle newly developed by the Krupp Group . They were armed to their teeth .
However, they still underestimated the scale of the riot . When the helicopters arrived on the scene, the narrow streets were filled with the wreckage of Hummers . More than half of the hundred mercenaries were killed, leaving the rest of the mercenaries struggling to fend off the siege from the refugees .
Indeed, the enemy was a mob, but they clearly underestimated the numbers of the mob . The most important thing was that these refugees were very familiar with the layout of the refugee camps . Even if the mercenaries who lost communication with them were brave and courageous, they could only find cover under bullets coming from all directions .
The eyebrows of the team captain, Bruno, twitched a few times as he examined the battlefield below . Then he picked up the intercom on his shoulder .
“Well, guys, let’s bring our brothers back . Hunter-1,2, descend in height, prepare to lower the rope, deploy defense lines at the evacuation point, and cover our brothers as they retreat . Hunters-3, 4 cover in the air, get ready to fire the Gatlin and don’t worry about refugee casualties—fire at any refugee you see with guns!”
“Hunter-1, roger . Deploying . ”
“Hunter-2…”
“…”
More than half of the thirty-two special forces descended to the ground, and these warriors with mechanical exoskeletons were indeed not comparable to the average soldier . In the dark alleys, under the cover of the Gatlin machine guns, they managed to clear out a way through the chaos .
Krupp certainly had a different perspective on weapon design . After discovering that “Lightning” was useless against EMP, it gave up on the lightweight design . The use of steel instead of functional plastics turned the exoskeleton into a power armor mold . The formed Faraday cage shielded them from electromagnetic pulses .
In addition to the EMP protection enhancement, the armor’s defense also improved drastically . Looking through a binocular on the battlefield, Jiang Chen discovered that the 5 . 56mm used by the refugees couldn’t penetrate the steel plates in front of their chests .
Of course, the cost of this type of improvement was exceptionally high—at least five times the cost of the previous version .
Sure enough, war was a lubricant of a civilization . The problem they previously didn’t understand could be resolved after taking two punches to the face . Perhaps they could give Freemasonry another decade, and they would find a “trivial method” to deal with the advanced technology of Celestial Trade . Just like how the US military managed to avoid roadside bombings in Iraq .
“We can’t wait any longer . ” Jiang Chen put the binoculars into his pocket and took out his PK2000 assault rifle, which was rusting in the storage dimension . “If I don’t help them, the mob will collapse . At least I have to take out those two Blackhawks . ”
There weren’t many people who were directly killed by Gatling guns on the street, but the firepower exerted immense psychological pressure on the people taking cover .
Ayesha nodded and was preparing to go forward but was stopped by Jiang Chen .
“Hey, wait, what can you do if you go empty-handed? Can you dismantle a plane with your bare hands?” Jiang Chen dragged her back and confirmed no one was nearby . Then he took out two portable air defense missiles from the storage dimension .
“This is the ‘Viper’ Rocket Launcher air defense model—you should know how to use it . Inside the box is a replaceable warhead; bring two rounds . You can have two Blackhawks while I take the other four . ” Jiang Chen picked up a launcher from the ground and loaded the warhead into the tube . He turned around and raised an eyebrow . “Which two do you want?”
Ayesha looked a little hesitant .
“Can you leave them all to me? I’m worried about you…”
“No worries; this isn’t difficult at all . Well, since you aren’t picking, the farthest two are up to you . I’m going to go now . ”
After that, Jiang Chen jumped from the three-story building, rushing forward with the launcher .
Since Jiang Chen had already set off, Ayesha sighed . She shook her head and picked up the launcher and warheads from the ground then also jumped downstairs .
On the other side, Bruno, sitting on the Blackhawk helicopter overlooking the battlefield, didn’t realize that disaster was about to come . Rather, he felt somewhat relieved . The wounded and the mercenaries preparing to retreat gathered near the evacuation point, and the four Blackhawks ascended in height again . Now, four Gatlin guns hovered in the area . The situation was slowly turning in their favor .
As long as they repelled the mob, the two heavy transport helicopters could land and take everyone away .
However, at this moment, his right eye twitched, and a strong uneasiness suddenly overwhelmed him .
It was too late to understand the cause of this uneasiness . A rocket from the ground flew to him and smashed into the tail of the helicopter without warning . Bruno only heard an explosion that broke his eardrum, and the entire helicopter was sent into a tailspin .
“Damnit! We were hit! Hunter-3 is calling command center . We’re falling!”
The first officer roared into the intercom, and the pilot clutched onto the stick, trying to control the rotating nose or at least adjust the helicopter to better prepare for a crash landing .
“Get up! Sh*t—”
The helicopter crashed into a residential building, and the flare was visible even two streets away .
Looking at the smoke rising in the air, Jiang Chen put down the launcher . Under a reverent look from the refugees, he switched onto the second warhead . He aimed at the second helicopter then pulled the trigger .
The crash of the Hunter-3 shocked all the mercenaries . The tail flame was obviously not from some smuggled RPG—it could only have been a portable air defense missile .
Why did the refugees have air defense missiles?!
It was too late to think about this issue . The evacuation plan was temporarily canceled, and the remaining helicopters immediately ascended in height to avoid the range of the air defense missiles . However, from the moment they were targeted by Jiang Chen, their fates were already doomed .
The second anti-aircraft missile hit its target, and another Blackhawk crashed to the ground . Under the horror of all the mercenaries, the explosion sparked a fire in all directions…
