Words:1985Update:22/06/26 14:24:37
Nuclear bombs would always be the cheapest thing on the wasteland.
Just like the landmines that covered the wilderness after World War II.
Without the need for complex, sophisticated missiles, a tactical nuclear bomb that could be launched using only cannons was undoubtedly a cheap and efficient killing tool.
Although the post-war coalition government had technically recovered the nuclear weapons left on the battlefield, there were definitely some that escaped.
Zhao Chenwu didn't want to think about who detonated the nuclear bomb.
There was no point in thinking about who it was.
Looking from afar, he saw black smoke rising from his competitor, Feng De's building, and then it collapsed with a loud bang.
The fat man didn't want to compromise even at the last moment. He chose to self-destruct the building and die with the soldiers inside, just like the nuclear bomb.
The other council members were in the same situation. Cao Jinsong seemed to be certain that the core power of the Inner Circle was in the hands of the council members. After breaking through the defense of the civil force, the soldiers under his command immediately attacked the headquarters of the council members.
The nuclear bomb didn't turn the tide of the battle; it was only a last ditch effort.
The Crimson Chamber of Commerce seemed to have anticipated this situation. The force of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce was scattered. The nuclear bomb didn't even hit a quarter of their force.
Did they already lose?
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a phone ringing in his ear.
"Hello?"
"Which floor are you on?"
Like the sound of nature, the long-awaited voice rang in his ears.
"Twenty-first floor," Zhao Chenwu said quickly with joy in his heart.
"Ahem, I'm not asking which floor you are on. I'm asking which floor the soldiers of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce that attacked your building are on."
Zhao Chenwu paused for a moment as he glanced at the surveillance video on the screen.
Su Lei was already retreating to the 16th floor. The 15th floor was completely occupied by the soldiers of the Crimson Chamber of Commerce.
"15th floor."
"Understood."
Just as he finished, a loud explosion came from downstairs.
The violent tremor almost threw him to the ground. He blankly stared out the window at the black dot in the distant sky.
…
The building in the distance had a horrifying hole in it, revealing the ferocious steel frame.
"Direct hit, beautiful shot."
He looked at the screen in his hand as he gave a thumbs up to the gunner at the door.
The gunner was very excited by his encouragement as he worked hard to reload and waited for the order to fire.
He had been watching the battle for a long time, including the nuclear bomb.
However, he did not expect that someone would detonate a nuclear bomb in the inner circle.
In order to prevent this place from completely turning into ruins, he felt that it was necessary for him to take the stage.
"Are we going to retreat? That's not going to work … "Jiang Chen looked at the escaping red dots on the screen as he muttered to himself and tapped on the screen.
He was already used to the buzzing of the electric current and the sound of explosions that broke through the sound barrier. The street on the screen was splashed with a snow mist that was more than ten meters high.
Without any suspense, the retreating armored vehicle was smashed into pieces by the 10kg bomb.
It was as easy as playing computer games.
The green dots on the ground were approaching the inner circle. They were the soldiers of the Fishbone base.
Jiang Chen left the Black Blood Mercenaries by the Taifu River. He didn't tell Luo Yang what happened at the Sixth Street. He only told them that as long as they stayed there for three days, they could earn an extra 1000 crystals.
No one would refuse such a good job. Everyone knew that the mutated humans could no longer advance east.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, the strongest mercenary group in the Sixth Street, Jiang Chen decided to keep them away from him for now.
When the main force approached the Sixth Street, Sun Jiao immediately expressed her stance and provided assistance to the besieged Zhao Corporation as an ally. The thirty or so civilians and security officers in the outer circle didn't hesitate and chose to let them pass. They also opened up the airspace to Chu Nan's helicopter.
They were loyal to the council. Although the organization was in chaos, since the Crimson Chamber of Commerce fired at the council, then the Crimson Chamber of Commerce was their enemy.
"Hello? Old Zhao, I'm going to open a hole in the inner circle wall. You don't mind, do you? "Jiang Chen opened the communication with a smile.
"… I don't mind."
The inner circle wall was very sturdy. It took four 10kg bombs to collapse a corner of the wall.
Seeing the wall collapse, Sun Jiao immediately led 200 soldiers to approach the hole. The main attacking force was six power armors, eight modified pickup trucks with machine guns welded on top, and thirty soldiers in kinetic skeletons. With the support of aerial firepower, the balance of the war was tilted towards Jiang Chen's side.
"Zhao Gang, take your people to take down their anti-air machine guns and anti-air missiles." Jiang Chen continued to order.
"Yes."
The other fifty people entered the Sixth Street.
The wall was already breached. The rest of the civilians already rushed to the inner circle for support. The outer circle of the Sixth Street was completely defenseless. The fifty people quickly took control of the air defense command center. They temporarily detained the on-duty personnel and confiscated their communication equipment.
Therefore, there was no longer anything that could threaten this transport helicopter.
With the support of aerial gunships, the ground force led by Sun Jiao pushed into the center of the inner circle like a hot knife through butter. The Crimson Chamber of Commerce was completely dumbfounded by the sudden addition of armed force. Any firepower gathered would be destroyed by the 10kg bombs falling from the sky.
"The main road has been taken over." Sun Jiao's report rang in his ear.
"Continue to push into the council building." Jiang Chen ordered calmly.
"Roger!"
The Crimson Chamber of Commerce's target was the headquarters of the council members. It looked like at least four council members were killed.
Only five council members were left, still struggling.
"How much longer do you have? I can't hold on much longer." Zhao Chenwu's voice transmitted into his ear along with some gunshots.
"Soon … Also, I suggest you open the window and stay in the office."
Then, Jiang Chen turned off the communication. At the same time, he ordered Chu Nan to fly the helicopter over and descend.
"It's time for surgery."
"Actually, I personally suggest that Zhao Chenwu should die here. The more the old force is wiped out, the more beneficial it is for our plan to take over. "As he lowered the control stick, Chu Nan said something incredible.
"… Perhaps. But keeping him alive has other uses. "Jiang Chen signaled Zhou Xiaoxia who was sitting quietly across from him. She didn't say anything. She just stood up and walked to the side of the cabin.
Chu Nan shrugged. He didn't try to convince his boss. He pressed a button under the control stick.
The automatic hover started again. The Type-50 electromagnetic pulse cannon was pulled back into the cabin.
Zhou Xiaoxia skillfully took out the sniper rifle from her back and aimed at the building.
The area scanned by the crosshair only left behind corpses.
Search for the enemy, shoot, pull the bolt, next.
The entire sequence of actions was completed in one go.
Zhao Chenwu, who was leaning against the office table, hugged his heavily injured secretary as he thanked Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled and didn't say anything. He just held the tablet and looked at the ground.
It was over.
But the inner circle no longer had its former glory. It was a completely different scene.
