Whoosh!
A sharp whistle cut through the silence of the night.
The rocket launcher hit the steel armor, and weld-like sparks emerged from the other side of the ASV-150 light armored vehicle. The flames of the explosion lifted the entire turret into the sky. The mercenaries who were leaning against the armored vehicles were blown into the bushes at the side. They scrambled to escape for cover.
Because the steel armor itself was similar to an imperfect "Faraday cage," it had a strong resistance to the electric field that passed through. The strategic-grade EMP bomb with a wide strike range only paralyzed the communication station outside the vehicle and did not burn the electronic components inside the armored vehicle.
However, even though it managed to escape the calamity, it was not as lucky as before.
The Sea Lions Special Forces that appeared in the night relied on the optical invisibility module mounted on the K2 kinetic skeleton. They were like invisible ghosts and wandered on the smoke-filled battlefield. The mercenaries of Arrow could only fight. All unprotected electronic equipment malfunctioned, including night vision goggles and infrared scopes used in night combat.
At the same time, Arrow's command center at the Mayotte military base was also in complete chaos.
The attack came from the north and the west, but they didn't even know how many enemies there were! Even because the radio failed, two infantry squads fought with their own people in the alleys outside the slums.
"This is the Mayotte military base, this is the Mayotte military base, we are under attack! I repeat, we are under attack! Dammit! " Colonel Mangala slammed the phone on the table, grabbed the rifle from the table, and rushed out the door.
The base was on fire, and the sound of gunfire was approaching the barracks of the military base. This was no longer a place to stay. He must evacuate!
If he could evacuate …
Just ten minutes ago, a "thunder" resounded over Mayotte Island.
Then there was a large-scale power outage.
Not only was there a power outage, but mobile phones, computers, walkie-talkies … all electronic products lost their function.
The traffic was in a mess, and even the brakes failed to work, the cars bumped into each other crookedly. All the vehicles on the road became scrap. Except for the windows and door locks that could still move, all other functions lost their original function. Due to a large area of short-circuiting, many places with outdated fire protection even caught fire.
An EMP bomb made the entire Mayotte Island return to the Stone Age.
Although before this bomb, the island, which was less than half the size of Wanghai, was not that developed.
Team B's battle had begun, and Team A's battle also began at the dock!
At the moment of the EMP explosion, all the light bulbs in the slums went out, and the entire dock suddenly fell into darkness. The cargo ship was also within the EMP strike range, and the lights on the deck suddenly went out. However, the exoskeleton on the soldier's body was not affected except for a moment when the explosion occurred.
It was Jiang Chen who fired the first shot and killed Andrea, who was standing next to Zaid. After receiving the attack signal, the Marines disguised as pirates immediately raised the AK47 in their hands and fired. After emptying the clip, they threw it aside, then picked up the Reaper Assault Rifle and continued to fire.
Several black sentries on the dock were killed on the spot, and the refugees in the slums screamed and fled. The people on Arrow's side crouched behind cover and fired back at the ship.
Some of them were mercenaries of Arrow, some were hired by Arrow, and some were gangsters and local tyrants who had business dealings with them.
Bullets shuttled through the dark dock. Although these mobs had a large number of people, their marksmanship and tactics were terrible. There was no way they could defeat the Celestial Trade Marine Corps that just participated in the joint military exercise.
The only thing that caused some trouble for Jiang Chen was a few RPGs that hit the cabin. However, these people were too naive to think that they could sink the thousand-ton cargo ship with a few RPGs.
The drones were released and pounced on the soldiers behind cover, setting off a bloody storm.
The Marines tore off the robes draped over the kinetic skeletons, jumped onto the dock, and opened fire with their rifles as they charged into the slums.
"Anyone with a weapon will be killed! I repeat, anyone with a weapon will be killed! " Cramer, the captain of the Marines, roared in the communication channel and commanded the soldiers to split into three groups to attack Arrow's stronghold in the slums.
Jiang Chen didn't enter the battle himself. After firing the first shot, he sat on the side of the ship, looked at the flashing slums, and became a bystander of the battlefield. Ayesha walked to the side and allowed the sea breeze to ruffle her hair as she quietly stayed by his side.
Zaid carefully climbed up from the deck, wiped the sweat and blood on his face, and squeezed out a dry smile.
"You, where are you going to drop me off?"
"Right here, but before that, I need you to do one last thing for me," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
From Jiang Chen's smile, Zaid faintly felt a trace of uneasiness, but he couldn't tell what the uneasiness was. After all, the smile in front of him was so warm.
The battle in the slums gradually subsided. From the sporadic gunshots and resistance, it was possible to hear the faint fate of Arrow.
Zaid followed behind Jiang Chen, boarded the dock, and then came to a tiled house in the slums.
In the corner, he saw Arrow's instructor and officer, Colonel Mangala, who was shot in the legs and lost the ability to move. This American, who had participated in the Iran-Iraq War and once drank with him, was now leaning against the wall like a dead dog.
He was covered in blood …
"It's you … Zaid." Mangala held his last breath, pressed the wound on his leg, and grinned. "I didn't expect this, I really didn't expect this. It seems that the boss fed a jackal that couldn't be tamed! "
Zaid didn't look at his eyes.
Although he had never cared about honor and dignity as a pirate, he was still filled with guilt for killing so many of his friends.
Jiang Chen didn't care about what they were communicating in French and just handed Zaid a dagger.
"Kill him, and you'll be our companion."
Zaid took the dagger, and at the same time, Jiang Chen raised the muzzle and aimed at him.
The message this gesture conveyed was very clear.
If you don't kill him, you'll be our enemy!
"Come on, look into my eyes and kill me!" Mangala's eyes were bloodshot. He stiffened his neck and stared at Zaid.
Knowing that he was going to die, Mangala chose to die quickly.
Zaid gulped and thought that since he already offended Arrow and their behind-the-scenes boss, one more life wouldn't make a difference.
Therefore, he made up his mind, picked up the dagger, and slashed at Mangala's neck.
At the same time, he said in his mind, "Brother, I'm sorry."
However, this inner monologue didn't finish.
Just as his dagger slid across Mangala's throat, blood spurted from his chest and sprinkled on his former friend.
It was his own blood.
Power began to flow from the hole in his chest. Zaid stood there blankly, bent down, and looked at his chest.
Jiang Chen lowered the gun in his hand with a cold smile on his face.
Zaid used the last of his strength to turn around and stared at Jiang Chen.
His eyes seemed to say "Why?"
"I said, to me, you are just an ant."
Not even a dog, how could he be a companion?
From the moment he ordered the execution of the four Celestial Trade soldiers, he was doomed to die.
Everyone had to die.
Pay the price for your actions!
Jiang Chen casually put away the gun, signaled to the soldier next to him, and then left the alley.
The soldier understood, stepped forward, and slammed the butt of the gun into Zaid's face, knocking him out. Then he grabbed Zaid's collar and dragged him to the officer named Mangala. At the same time, he returned the pistol to the dead colonel.
The two of them died together, as if they had killed each other.
Before his last shred of consciousness was annihilated, Zayad vaguely heard these words floating in from outside the alley.
"Drag the bodies of the pirates off the ship, put clothes on them again, and then throw them here … Throw some in the corners of the slums. Don't forget to give everyone an AK. Be quick, the Madagascar government is about to react. Evacuate in five minutes! "
