Chereads / Strongest Mercenary System / Chapter 120 - Skirmish

Chapter 120 - Skirmish

In the back gate area of the "KK" electric fraud zone, after receiving orders from their leader, many sentries immediately increased their guard and alertness.

 

At this time, the leader responsible for the deployment of armed personnel in the back gate area was preparing to gather a team for a thorough patrol and search of other locations within this back gate area.

 

The boss said, if you find any trace of their companions, do not hesitate, attack immediately. Also, everyone else guard the back gate tightly, do not let anyone out or in!"

 

The leader responsible for the deployment of armed personnel in the back gate area issued the latest orders through the walkie-talkie to all armed personnel in the area.

 

But just as he finished speaking, a bullet, from an unknown source, pierced through the leader's head in an instant!

 

Swish——

 

Splat!!!

 

Even though the leader was wearing a bulletproof helmet, it couldn't withstand the terrifying power of the Russell R93 tactical sniper rifle!

 

The moment the 7.62mm sniper bullet precisely hit his head, it immediately claimed his life, and his body fell to the ground due to the immense inertia.

 

The armed personnel deployed in the back gate sentry area, although not as strong as special forces from various countries, were not fools. They quickly realized that only a sniper lurking in the dark could silently take out their leader like this!

 

In an instant, the armed personnel reacted and shouted.

 

"There's a sniper! Everyone stay alert!"

 

Watching their leader get sniped, the armed personnel shouted warnings to their comrades while retreating frantically.

 

After all, the area they were in was quite open, and staying in such an open place made them living targets for the hidden sniper!

 

This basic knowledge was something they had!

 

As these armed personnel, now in a panic due to the sudden enemy attack, had their attention focused on the sniper, Price and the other 141 Task Force members, who had already reached their designated attack positions, launched their assault!

 

As Ghost's first shot threw the armed personnel into chaos, Price swiftly pulled the bolt of his HK416 assault rifle, loading a bullet with a 'click,' and said, "Go!"

 

After saying this, he led the charge, quickly leaving his concealed position and nimbly jumping to the left side of the back gate area of the "KK" electric fraud zone.

 

As soon as he reached the first attack position, he immediately aimed his HK416 assault rifle at the armed personnel retreating and looking for cover ahead, then pulled the trigger!

 

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

 

Price's skilled marksmanship, combined with the superior performance of the HK416 assault rifle, instantly killed four or five armed personnel!

 

Seeing enemies wearing advanced individual combat equipment attacking from the left, the retreating armed personnel immediately realized these must be the mercenary allies their boss mentioned, who had infiltrated the zone to rescue someone!

 

"Target spotted on the left! Need support!"

 

One armed personnel quickly informed his comrades through the walkie-talkie, then raised his weapon to counterattack!

 

But their movements were much slower than Roach and Nikolai, who acted with Price. Before these armed personnel could raise their guns to counterattack, Roach, holding an FN Scar-H assault rifle, and Nikolai, with an AUG assault rifle, had already pulled the triggers!

 

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

 

Ratatatata!

 

Quickly, the armed personnel attempting to counterattack were riddled with bullets from Roach and Nikolai, their bodies filled with blood-dripping holes.

 

In just a few seconds, the area was littered with fresh corpses.

 

After swiftly eliminating this first wave of armed personnel, Price, Roach, and Nikolai quickly moved towards the perimeter wall.

 

Their smooth and swift attack was entirely due to the armed personnel being caught off guard by Ghost's sniper shot, not fully entering combat mode.

 

Once these armed personnel reacted, the current positions of Price, Roach, and Nikolai would no longer be optimal for combat.

 

Just as these armed personnel were in an open area, so were Price, Roach, and Nikolai, their bodies fully exposed to the armed personnel's attack range.

 

Even though their body armor was excellent, it couldn't withstand a mass counterattack from the armed personnel.

 

So, after being exposed, Price, Roach, and Nikolai had to quickly move closer to the perimeter wall.

 

Near the perimeter wall of the "KK" electric fraud zone, apart from the sentries, there were no other covers.

 

Additionally, Price's plan was not to engage too much with the armed personnel but to quickly break through the back gate's defense and enter the zone to support Commander Lu Ting!

 

On the other side, while Price, Roach, and Nikolai were in action, Sandman, Yuri, and Soap, ambushing on the right side of the back gate area of the "KK" electric fraud zone, chose to play the role of "the sixth man" for the time being!

 

They did not attack simultaneously. Instead, they waited until the armed personnel inside the sentry posts, believing that all enemies were in the left area due to receiving messages from their comrades and hearing the sounds of battle from Price's side, gathered to prepare to rush over, before taking action!

 

After exchanging a glance while concealed on the right flank, Soap and Yuri, with remarkable synchronization, took out the powerful M57 hand grenades!

 

Although Soap and Yuri usually had a love-hate relationship, their teamwork on the battlefield was the highest among all members of the 141 Task Force.

 

They both agreed that when dealing with densely packed enemies like this, nothing was more effective than the M57 hand grenade, packed with fifty solid steel balls!

 

Click~

 

They simultaneously removed the safety pins from their M57 hand grenades, and without hesitation, threw them towards the group of armed personnel ahead, who were preparing to support and had no defenses behind them!

 

In an instant, these two M57 hand grenades, akin to the scythe of death, reached directly above the heads of the armed personnel.

 

And until this moment, these armed personnel still had no idea!

 

Soon, after falling a short distance, these two M57 hand grenades ended their delay time and exploded!

 

Boom!

 

Boom!

 

The moment the two M57 hand grenades exploded, the hundreds of solid steel balls hidden inside the grenades, along with the steel fragments from the grenade casings, shot towards all the armed personnel within the explosion radius!

 

Driven by the shockwave from the explosive, the power of these steel balls and steel fragments was no less than bullets fired from a gun!

 

And these armed personnel never expected that there were enemies hidden on this side as well. They were completely caught off guard!

 

At the moment of the explosion of these two M57 hand grenades, they had no time to react at all!

 

The bulletproof vests and helmets worn by these armed personnel were completely useless against the explosive force of the hand grenades at such close range.

 

In the blink of an eye, dozens of armed personnel were directly killed under the explosive power of the M57 hand grenades, and their deaths were extremely gruesome!

 

As for the armed personnel farther from the explosion center, they were also hit by the splashing steel balls and steel fragments, screaming in pain.

 

At this time, Sandman also timely joined the fray, firing his rifle at them.

 

Ratatatata!

 

The armed personnel, who were completely stunned by the M57 hand grenades, had no resistance when facing Sandman's attack and fell one after another!

 

For a moment, whether it was on Price's side with Roach and Nikolai, or on Sandman's side with Soap and Yuri, their sudden attacks indeed had terrifying power. These so-called armed personnel were forced to retreat continuously, losing numerous soldiers in just a few minutes.

 

However, the members of the 141 Task Force did not slack off at all. Even though they knew the combat strength of these armed personnel was weak, as long as they were on the battlefield, they would always remain vigilant, as was their consistent style of combat.

 

Moreover, the armed personnel they had dealt with were probably only a tenth of the total number in this "KK" electric fraud zone?

 

And this was only the situation without calling for reinforcements. If these scammers and kidnappers realized something was wrong and sent reinforcements from other brother zones, the situation would be much more complicated!

 

It's important to note that their purpose here was to support Commander Lu Ting, who was still inside the zone, rather than continuously fighting these armed personnel.

 

If they couldn't push forward into the inner part of the zone quickly, then even if they killed many armed personnel, it would be meaningless. Instead, they would be slowed down, unable to provide timely support to Commander Lu Ting, who was still inside the zone!

 

So, during the brief blank period after the first wave of battles, whether it was Price, Roach, and Nikolai's side, or Sandman, Soap, and Yuri's side, they all rushed towards the back gate that could lead into the zone.

 

But just at this moment, in the earpiece terminals of their six individual combat headsets, the voice of Ghost sounded at the same time!

 

"Price, Sandman, you both have enemies coming to support you! There are quite a few of them!"

 

"The number of armed personnel at the back gate is also not small. Be extra careful!"

 

At this moment, on the highest point of a small ridge directly facing the back gate area of the "KK" electric fraud zone, Ghost, wearing a Gillie camouflage suit, had a serious expression on his face.

 

His eyes were glued to the high-power scope of the Russell R93 tactical sniper rifle, swiftly reporting the situation of the enemies scattered on both the left and right sides to Price and Sandman.

 

At the same time, Ghost took a glance into the electric fraud zone. However, at this moment, he did not see any movement from Commander Lu Ting behind the back gate.

 

What he could see was a large number of armed personnel running around in the zone, and it was obvious that they were not searching for anyone else but their commander, Lu Ting!

 

Meanwhile,

 

Just as all members of the 141 Task Force, upon receiving the action signal from Lu Ting, began a fierce attack on the back gate of the "KK" electric fraud zone,

 

Lu Ting and Wang Tianyu, hiding at a distance from the back gate of the electric fraud zone, also caught the sound of battle coming from the back gate.

 

"Oh my!"

 

Listening to gunshots over there that were even more lively than fireworks during New Year's, Wang Tianyu, hiding beside Lu Ting, was instantly stunned, unable to hide his admiration in his tone.

 

"Bro, your group's firepower is quite fierce!"

 

As he said this, whether he temporarily forgot his own situation or if Lu Ting and his companions' demonstrated strength brought him considerable hope of escaping, at this moment, Wang Tianyu's eyes actually revealed a hint of envy.

 

Clearly, Wang Tianyu envied Lu Ting and his companions for their ability to engage in combat with guns!

 

That's not surprising either, after all, no man can resist the allure of firearms!

 

And honestly, the sounds coming from Lu Ting's companions were the rescue operation process that Wang Tianyu had imagined.

 

But if he had to compare, Wang Tianyu still felt that the powerhouse beside him, who could easily kill with broken bones, was even more terrifying in terms of strength!

 

Moreover, from his daring solo infiltration into the enemy camp, exposing himself and leading them to break out together, Wang Tianyu could more vividly perceive that Lu Ting's ability was definitely stronger than his companions!

 

Otherwise, the team wouldn't let him lead them, right?!

 

Thinking of this, Wang Tianyu's trust in Lu Ting suddenly skyrocketed.

 

Meanwhile, Lu Ting couldn't help but smirk as he heard the sounds of battle coming from the back door.

 

Just as he was preparing to tell Wang Tianyu to get ready to leave, he turned his head and unexpectedly saw the other staring at him with a face that screamed "fanboy."

 

To be honest, that look was so damn 'gay'!

 

In that moment, Lu Ting felt an impulse to just leave him here and not care!

 

Immediately, he ruthlessly cursed, "Did those guys turn you into an idiot? Why are you staring at me all the time?"

 

"Watch the road! Move your ass!"

 

With that, Lu Ting took the lead and left the hiding spot behind the trash can, moving along the wall shrouded in dark shadows.

 

Wang Tianyu: "."

 

Feeling a bit bewildered from suddenly being scolded, Wang Tianyu, after a moment of stunned silence, dared not get angry or say anything, and followed along.

 

Wang Tianyu, who was suddenly scolded and a bit confused, after a brief moment of stunned silence, dared not to anger or speak and followed along.

 

After Special Task Force 141 launched a fierce attack on the rear gate of the park, the speed of the armed personnel patrolling and searching inside the park noticeably increased. Obviously, they wanted to quickly find both Lu Ting and Wang Tianyu.

 

However, the more rushed they were, the more careless they became.

 

Wang Tianyu, hiding in the dark, followed Lu Ting for a short distance of just a hundred meters. He watched helplessly as two groups of armed personnel hurriedly passed by, not knowing whether Lu Ting's chosen route was too well-hidden or if these armed men were just blind. In any case, they failed to spot the two of them!

 

Just when Wang Tianyu naively thought they might slip through like this, Lu Ting suddenly stopped in his tracks up ahead. Sure enough, directly in front of them, a damn team of armed personnel was searching in their direction!

 

Lu Ting had anticipated such a situation long ago. After all, scenarios where one could miraculously escape unscathed after being discovered in enemy territory only occurred in plotlines with a protagonist's halo; it was completely unrealistic in reality.

 

Therefore, while advancing stealthily, Lu Ting also simultaneously observed the surrounding environment, noting all potential cover positions for combat.

 

Actually, at this moment, Lu Ting's first choice was to avoid fighting if possible. After all, engaging would effectively be giving away their position to other armed personnel!

 

But in the current situation, with the enemy almost upon them, whether standing still or retreating would both lead to discovery. Thus, a skirmish was inevitable!

 

"Don't you dare stick your head out!"

 

Lu Ting pressed Wang Tianyu, who was trying to peek out from behind him, back down. Why did this guy always like to get involved when he had no ability whatsoever to contribute?!

 

While silently complaining in his mind, Lu Ting also ordered Wang Tianyu: "Follow the wall and retreat to the corner behind."

 

Wang Tianyu, who was pushed back before he could see the situation, nodded obediently after hearing Lu Ting's words. "Alright, alright, bro, you take care!"

 

Lu Ting was clearly about to confront those armed personnel. In the upcoming fight, Wang Tianyu, knowing he was useless other than being a burden, had a very clear self-awareness.

 

Therefore, as soon as Lu Ting spoke, Wang Tianyu obediently crawled back cautiously along the wall to the place Lu Ting had mentioned.

 

Yes, he crawled!

 

Because by now, his legs were so weak that he couldn't walk steadily!

 

When Wang Tianyu crawled to the place Lu Ting had mentioned, those five armed personnel happened to reach Lu Ting's hiding place at that moment!

 

Immediately after, Wang Tianyu saw the last of the armed men, who glanced toward Lu Ting's hiding spot. In an instant, Lu Ting, who had been lurking like a predator, violently attacked without giving him any reaction time!

 

Lu Ting swiftly grabbed him by the neck from behind and reached for the military knife on the ballistic tactical vest of this armed personnel!

 

And in the next instant after pulling out this knife, Lu Ting fiercely stabbed it into the neck of this armed personnel!

 

Splurt!

 

Afraid that one stab might not kill him completely, Lu Ting even violently twisted the military knife in his hand. The bright red blood instantly spurted out, splashing onto Lu Ting's hand!

 

Watching such a bloody and violent scene from his corner behind the wall, Wang Tianyu couldn't help but be stunned.

 

At this moment, Lu Ting's aura was completely different from before!

 

And at the same time Lu Ting stabbed the military knife into the neck of this armed personnel, the other armed personnel in the team also heard the commotion from behind.

 

Here's the translation:

 

When they turned to see their companion being instantly killed by Lu Ting, who appeared from nowhere with a military knife, these armed personnel quickly reacted!

 

They aimed their weapons at Lu Ting in unison and opened fire swiftly!

 

Rat-tat-tat-tat!

 

Instantly, numerous bullets shot towards Lu Ting!

 

But unfortunately, these bullets did not cause any harm to him. At this moment, Lu Ting, after dispatching the last armed personnel with his knife, did not immediately drop the body but instead held onto it.

 

As the other armed personnel fired, he used this corpse as a human shield, holding it in front of himself!

 

Seeing this, Wang Tianyu, hiding behind the corner of the wall, couldn't help but marvel in his mind, "Damn! Using everything to its fullest?"

 

Meanwhile, the other armed personnel, witnessing Lu Ting using their companion's body as a shield, were infuriated, and the actions of pulling their triggers became even more frequent!

 

Lu Ting knew that while this human shield could protect him temporarily, it couldn't last forever. So, he raised the muzzle of his AK assault rifle and prepared to teach these armed personnel that guns weren't meant to be fired indiscriminately like theirs.

 

But unexpectedly, after he pulled the trigger forcefully, instead of unleashing a series of powerful bullets as before, his AK assault rifle made an untimely 'click' sound!

 

After several attempts, it became evident that no bullets were coming out!

 

Seeing this scene unfold, Wang Tianyu, hiding behind, couldn't help but feel anxious and frustrated.

 

"What's wrong with this guy?!"

 

"Did the gun jam?!"

 

"Not jamming earlier or later, but just had to jam now?!"

 

"What a joke?!"

 

Watching Lu Ting's AK assault rifle persistently fail to fire, Wang Tianyu couldn't help but internally criticize these extortionist kidnappers.

 

"All day long, cheating so much money, can't you guys get some damn useful weapons?!"

 

"Missing the crucial moment like this, who can endure it?!"
