The sub-mission proved to be more difficult than everyone had imagined. The Qimen Squad encountered their first wave of enemies two kilometers before the base. The terrain here was hilly, with the Qimen Squad at the bottom and bio-warriors wielding various energy swords on the slope."It's the Holy Federation, no need to look," said Chou De Pian Shuai.Indeed, there was no need to look. Everyone in the enemy camp had a yellow cross on their head, while their own side had a blue four-leaf clover."Okay, watch us now," Tusu and Ri Wan took off their combat uniforms, revealing their shiny metal armor. With every step, the armor creaked, like a transforming robot.Edward knew this was a characteristic of chip warriors. Chip warriors and gene warriors, while often grouped together, were actually quite different. They implanted technological chips in their bodies, activating their entire cells to generate power. This power could even be used to control various energies when it was strong enough.The physical bodies of chip warriors were very weak, even weaker than controllers, but they could equip high-strength alloy armor, making them very resistant to damage. Their weapons were also extremely lethal. A chip warrior standing there exuded a formidable aura, and many players loved this profession, although chips were even harder to obtain than multi-element alloys.Gene warriors, on the other hand, relied on cell growth and were not on the technological path. They relied entirely on their physical fitness.Unknown to Edward and the others, the group on the slope was also the elite of their side, numbering thirty-four people, guarding this most dangerous position.The enemy commander, Shi Tou Dandan, was the first to spot the Qimen Squad, and the group's eyes widened. This team of only 12 people, without hesitation, walked straight up the path.They had seen the bold, but never so bold.Although surprised, Shi Tou Dandan admired the other commander. This was an expert. He knew that at this distance, unless he had a sniper, there was no way he could hit them.The Qimen Squad stopped about 300 meters up the hillside, and Tusu alone shouted from below, "Listen up, people above! We are from the Glorious Federation, and we are here on a mission. If you are wise, you will put down your weapons, put your hands on your head, and squat down. Each of you pays 100 credits as a token of sincerity, and then sing the national anthem of the People's Republic of China. We are all people of status, and we guarantee not to harm you."The group on the slope was so angry that they almost burst.Several warriors, flushed with anger, were about to go down, but Shi Tou Dandan pulled them back in time, "Don't be impulsive, this kid is trying to provoke you. If we don't go down, they can't come up either."Tusu shouted even more triumphantly, and even took out a megaphone to shout louder, "Who's the captain up there? If you have guts, come down and fight one-on-one. My name is Kan Si Ni Ma Ge Bi, a level 20 chip warrior, a famous hero of Dream Star City. I'm a man of my word. If you, the captain up there, want to be a coward, I won't blame you. If you're a man, come down and fight one-on-one. If you lose, you let us pass, and if I lose, I'll give you this pile of A-grade fire crystals, and then we'll just go back to the city. Don't believe me, just look for yourself."Of course, Tusu couldn't have shouted these words himself. It was all instigated by Edward. Only Edward could come up with such a seemingly righteous but actually sneaky trick.The scout on top took out his binoculars and looked, his expression hesitant. He turned and said, "Boss, that kid really put a pile of fire crystals at his feet."Shi Tou Dandan hesitated. He knew very well the value of 30 A-grade fire crystals. Even if you sold them to a shop, they would be 800 credits each, and 30 of them would be worth about 5,000 RMB on the black market.For this survival mission, the Holy Federation also provided each player with 500 credits. This amount of money was not worth risking their lives for people like Shi Tou Dandan."Alright, I'll go down, but you have to promise your people will back off. Let's have a fair fight. I, Shi Tou Dandan, have some reputation in the Holy City. You can go and ask around. The Tian Jue family of the Holy City, we are all men of our word," Shi Tou Dandan replied loudly."Okay, okay, we'll back off." After saying that, Tusu gestured for Edward and the others to slowly retreat. Shi Tou Dandan slowly walked down.He completely ignored one problem: Tusu was definitely not level 20, but he was greedy, thinking that as a level 25 gene warrior, he would definitely win. Besides, Edward and the others were retreating, so he slowly went down.As the distance gradually closed, Tusu's face could be seen clearly.Shi Tou Dandan drew his fiery red energy sword, "Come on, let me see the ultimate move of a level 20 warrior."Tusu smiled sinisterly, "Friend, if you let your men back off, I'll give you 30 more, how about that?""Really?" Shi Tou Dandan couldn't believe it. This mission had actually brought him such a generous guy. "How about you let me pick up these fire crystals first and then we talk?""No problem, you can pick them up." Tusu said as he took a few steps back.Shi Tou Dandan was overjoyed, thinking this guy was an idiot. He thought he would just pick up the crystals and then forget about him.Unfortunately, he was too happy too soon. Just as he bent down, he heard a metal clanging sound from a distance, but it was more like the sound of machine gears turning, very loud and clear.The M249 heavy machine gun, which shoots without sin, suddenly spewed out a fierce tongue of flame, and bullets rained down on him like a storm."Pfft, pfft, pfft, -987, -998, -1001..." The effective range of this M249 heavy machine gun was 300 meters, but even at such a distance, it still dealt about half of the damage. Anyone would know that this was definitely a high-level item above the red equipment level."Fuck you..." Shi Tou Dandan's words turned into white light halfway through."Wahahaha, bro, this is what you call dying for money, and birds dying for food," Tusu laughed loudly and shouted upwards, "Brothers, come down and avenge your boss, I'll never leave here, or I'll be your son."There was a commotion above, and no one expected the other team to have a machine gunner. They were both surprised and angry. The front row of more than ten warriors couldn't help but charge down, and the gunners and controllers in the back also pounced down.The scouts had less load and charged very fast, and they started firing with their MP5s while still more than a hundred meters away.Tusu opened the eyes of the Holy Federation. He just stood there without moving, and the bullets hit him ping-ping-pong-pong, but the maximum damage was no more than "-20", showing how strong his armor's defense was."Amazing," Flying MM exclaimed.Edward laughed, "If it weren't for Ai MM giving him an energy shield, would he dare to be so tough?"The gunners above also made the same mistake as their unlucky boss. They could shoot him, but didn't consider that he could shoot back.The sinless M249, Chou De Pian Shuai's Chicago Typewriter, and Motorola's FAMAS formed a dense network of fire, and under Dragonmaniac's command, the three of them cooperated very well.The Chicago Typewriter stuck to the rear controllers, the M249 locked on and instantly killed them with a burst, and the FAMAS interfered with other gunners, leaving the warriors to be lured by Tusu.In just one minute, the other side lost three controllers and two gunners, and the front-line warriors were injured to varying degrees. The M249 was indeed a fighter among heavy machine guns, and it was bleeding too much.Tusu also acted cunningly, slowly walking down the hill to join the main force.Finally, the two groups got close, and the real main force of the Qimen Squad took action. Ren in the River, who had been quiet all along, raised his energy staff, and three white lightning balls the size of watermelons slowly floated towards the slope.Don't underestimate these lightning balls. They were a skill that only level 25 controllers could use. Although they were slow, they could electrocute and paralyze anyone within a 20-meter radius for two seconds.When the three lightning balls were released, there was a cry of alarm above: "Be careful, dodge quickly."
