Niu Lidong had set up nine directional grenades. Six of them were arranged in a circular pattern, but the remaining three were aimed at Gao Qi.
The directional grenades that Tom had gotten were not very advanced. The only way to detonate them was by pulling the string. In other words, the directional grenades had to be strung together like landmines, or they could simply hold the detonating string in their hands and detonate them manually.
In the current situation, it was necessary to detonate them accurately.
A total of nine cables were placed at Niu Lidong's feet. At this time, Niu Lidong did not seem nervous. Instead, he seemed very excited.
Gao Qi opened his luggage.
The 191 rifle was naturally used by Niu Lidong. As for the R8 hunting rifle that Gao Qi hadn't used since he bought it, this was also the first time he carried it on his back.
Gao Qi was putting bullets into his pockets. He had put a few shotgun shells in each of the two pockets of his jacket. He did not have the opportunity to fire a few shots with the short-barreled shotgun, and he probably did not have the opportunity to fire his handgun either. It was a little funny to think that he could use a handgun and a short-barreled shotgun to attack a genetic warrior. However, doing these preparations could at least ease the tense atmosphere.
It was almost time. Gao Qi took out his phone to check the time and said, "John said that the airdrop will arrive in eleven minutes. It's almost time now. Do you guys see the plane?"
Gao Qi raised his head and looked around again. Then, he realized that there was nothing in the sky.
There were no planes, helicopters, or drones. In any case, there were no flying objects that could be seen with the naked eye.
He was a little nervous, but more than that, he was filled with anticipation and curiosity. This was because Gao Qi had never seen an airdrop before.
"I don't know what an airdrop is like. It should be similar to what's written in the books. The plane drops a parachute, and it's just … What's that? It's coming?"
Gao Qi saw what seemed to be a small dot in the sky. However, the dot was so small that it did not look like a plane at all.
It was very, very fast. Then, due to the change in angle, the flying dot suddenly lost track of Gao Qi. Then, Gao Qi saw a cloud of white smoke suddenly appear in the air.
A black cylindrical object was flying over their heads. Against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds, the slender cylindrical object was rather conspicuous. It was just that its speed was too fast for the eyes to catch sight of it before it lost track of its tracks.
The height was not very high, and the distance was not very far, but after a white cloud appeared on the cylinder, a dozen small white parachutes suddenly opened, and the landing point seemed to be aimed at Gao Qi.
"F * ck!"
With a shout, Gao Qi watched the dozen small white parachutes flying towards him obliquely. Although the parachutes could reduce the speed of the parachutes, the cylinders under the parachutes still fell rapidly in front of him and plunged into the sand with a puff.
Gao Qi was stunned, because he really did not expect the so-called airdrop to arrive in this way.
"Are these … cluster bombs?"
While Gao Qi was talking to himself, the phone in his hand rang. He immediately picked up the call, and heard John say briskly, "Hello, the energy cores you bought have been delivered. There are a total of ten of them. In order not to affect the weight of the warheads, I didn't take out all the warheads. The submunitions with the energy cores do not have a warhead. I used a red paint pen to draw a few lines at the tail end. Pay attention when you identify them. You just need to unscrew the back end when you find them."
Gao Qi said in extreme surprise, "This is the airdrop you mentioned?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"Uh … Do you often use airdrops like this?"
"No, no, the cost is too high. There aren't many fifth-generation Tomahawk cruise missiles left. They're very expensive, and the submunitions system specially designed to deal with exotic beasts is also very expensive."
Gao Qi wanted to ask about the price, but he did not have the courage to do so now, so he said cautiously, "If the cost is high, why do you still use this method to airdrop? Can't you just use a plane properly? "
"That way, there won't be enough time, and it's also the only way to deliver them in time before your enemies arrive. As a businessman who pursues efficiency, of course I have to deliver them to you in the fastest way, and cruise missiles are the fastest way. Alright, now go get your goods and wait for the attack. I wish you the best."
John hung up the phone. Gao Qi exhaled, and then he walked shakily to the cluster of parachutes about thirty meters away from him.
Anna said with a serious face, "I never thought that a gun-seller would use this method to airdrop. It's too creative!"
Gao Qi searched carefully and identified it. Then, he saw a cylindrical object with red lines at the end.
Half of the cylinder was embedded in the sand, and the other half was on the ground. The parachute was dragged on the ground, fluttering in the wind. This was the container that contained the energy core. However, near this cylinder, there was a bomb of the same shape, but it was very likely to explode.
Gao Qi began to walk over, but just as he took a step, the phone in his hand suddenly rang again.
With a leap, Gao Qi fell forward on the ground. When he realized that it was the phone in his hand that rang, he angrily picked up the phone and shouted, "What!?"
"I forgot to tell you, before the cruise missiles were launched, I turned off all the electronic fuses of the submunitions. Since the submunitions did not explode and shoot metal jets at you when they fell, you should be fine. But you know, electronic things are always very unreliable, so stay away from the submunitions. Oh, nothing else."
Gao Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for being so considerate …"
John did not intend to listen to what Gao Qi had to say. He hung up the phone directly. Gao Qi could only put away his phone and carefully tiptoed to the marked submunitions.
Because of the fear brought by the unexploded bombs, Gao Qi's movements were very fast. Although his hands were trembling, he smoothly unscrewed the metal can that was similar in shape to a bomb. Then, he took out a small box that was placed in a foam protective pad.
Opening the box, there were ten energy cores inside.
Gao Qi let out a long breath. He raised the box and shook it at Anna and the others, then stood up and ran back to the tree.
"It's much easier with this. Although the delivery method is a bit scary, it's really fast. John is still very reliable."
After the fear was greatly reduced, Gao Qi took out an energy core and held it in his palm. With a confident face, he said, "Now, let's prepare to give the people who come a surprise. Let me think, what should I use to deal with them?"
Niu Lidong suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "Helicopter!"
