Chapter 254 16. Can do it

"Have you figured out the other party's identity? What did those people from the Intelligence Department say? Can't they figure it out with a satellite?"

Meredith called her subordinates at the Night City Military Technology Headquarters. Just now, she had her subordinates submit a request to the intelligence department to use satellites to observe the enemy, but until now, no relevant images have been transmitted.

"No, Director, the guys from the Intelligence Department are still reviewing it!"

"It's still under review. I'm almost dying, those bastards!"

Meredith cursed, and she felt very relieved in her heart that it was definitely those guys in the Intelligence Department who were looking for an excuse to deliberately delay.

A mission to solve Arasaka's freight problem. Did the Arasaka personnel solve it?

solved.

So you were attacked by an unknown person and you want support and help?

Sorry, there is no such saying in military technology companies.

This is no longer within the scope of assistance in the fight against Arasaka.

While constantly greeting the families of those bastards in the Intelligence Department in her heart, Meredith couldn't help but turn her head to look at Carl, who was wearing a helmet and whose expression couldn't be seen clearly, sitting behind another truck.

The enemy came with great force and was obviously not an easy character to deal with. Although she didn't know why they were causing trouble for her, it was obvious that their combat power was much higher than hers. In this case, she could only count on Carl, a mercenary with a resounding reputation in Night City.

KK, are you really as strong as the rumors say? Let me see it for myself.

As the distance of the vehicle approaching from a distance gets closer, the model of the vehicle can gradually be seen clearly.

There were five vehicles in total, each of which was an armored vehicle, and they were equipped with military technology that made the people's pupils shrink when they saw it with prosthetic eyes.

Thirty millimeter machine gun!
This firepower is enough to be used as a common weapon by those drivers on the ACPA.

These were only the basic weapons carried by four of the vehicles. On the last armored vehicle, the military technology personnel saw something even bigger. The terrifying thing made the military technology personnel who risked his life to check it scream out in the channel before he died: "Vehicle-mounted rockets!"

With a gunshot, the head of the military technician who risked his life to check the situation shattered and scattered, but the channel suddenly fell silent because of his loud scream before his death.

What the hell?
In addition to machine guns, there are also vehicle-mounted rockets? !

Is this a copy of the Central American war?
What's the point of using a sniper rifle when you have this thing? If it had been fired at them earlier, would they still be alive?

Aren’t rockets equipped with precision-guided modules more useful than kinetic sniper rifle bullets?
While the military technology personnel and wanderers were in disbelief, Carl calmly confirmed a guess.

That's the batch of goods, something's not right.

Normally, if a fight was to take place, with such firepower, there was no need to get close, just fire from a distance. In that case, no one here could escape except Carl. Even if they were considering capturing someone alive for interrogation, they could have started suppressing the enemy with machine guns at this distance. But until now, all Carl could hear was the sound of sniper rifles. Did this mean that there was some reason that prevented them from using rockets and machine guns?

If you think about it carefully, it seems that the only people attacked by sniper rifles from beginning to end were the people behind Columbus's car. This is certainly because bullets find it difficult to penetrate the armor of heavy trucks, but Carl had clearly seen a few brave wanderers sticking their heads out and firing at the armored vehicles in the distance from behind the truck. None of them were shot in the head like Columbus's fellow tribesmen.

It's like a sniper is concerned about the heavy truck, afraid of damaging something on the heavy truck.

But the military technology people have already scanned the cargo in the heavy truck, and they are just apples. Apples can't be worth all this effort, right?

Carl still couldn't answer the question, but he just needed to know that the other party was cautious and did not dare to use machine guns and rockets.

When Carl heard about the machine guns and rockets, he was still thinking about how he would withstand the machine gun fire, shoot and destroy the rockets, and approach the armored convoy. Now he didn't need to think about it. The other party was cautious and would definitely engage in close-range fire, and that was Carl's expertise. "It seems that there is no need to reveal my identity."

Carl reconnected the helmet that he had originally planned to remove to the connection port of the combat suit, activated the internal view, and used the environmental detection attached to the helmet to determine the most suitable time to attack.

"Oh!"

Carl had been waiting for this moment, when a Columbus was destroyed and intensive rifle fire was heard.

He listened to the sound and judged the distance.

Two hundred and fifty meters.

They actually took the initiative to approach to this distance. No matter what these attackers were worried about, this distance was enough.

'You have no chance of escape.'

"Prepare a counterattack."

Carl's calm voice rang out in the dead silent communication channel, and he naturally took over the command.

"The remaining personnel behind the truck, use the cover to conduct free fire. The personnel behind the Columbus vehicle, throw smoke bombs and use the smoke to evacuate to the cargo box of the second truck that has not overturned. That is your temporary shelter. Don't worry about the enemy's strafing. I will cover you."

Hearing Carl's voice, the military technology people were a little surprised, but no one spoke out to object. However, the leader of the wanderers who accessed the communication channel after the battle began directly questioned:

"Who are you? Judging from your voice, you are not the leader who is cooperating with us. Do you want to control us?"

"I am the leader now."

Along with a gunshot, a bullet hole appeared on the ground next to the leader of the wanderers who was hiding behind Columbus, which made the leader of the wanderers' body tremble violently.

The leader had just used the identification code in the channel to determine where the person who spoke was. That person clearly didn't look at him and the gun in his hand was pointed at the ground. So when did the bullet come from?

"Now, you have four seconds to move."

Carl's voice continued to ring in the channel, and his voice was still so calm: "In four seconds, if you don't intend to follow my instructions and move, then..."

So?

While the wanderers were thinking about the first half of Carl's sentence, the second half of Carl's sentence, accompanied by that calm tone, had already reached everyone's ears.

"Then I will first kill those who disobey me and interfere with the battle, and then I will kill those on the other side."

Although he spoke in such an unusually calm tone, the chill and oppression in his words made everyone who heard Carl's words feel like they were falling into an icy cave.

They could all hear it.

I am serious about this.

And the person who speaks.
It can be done.
