Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 341 322 Ambush!

Then the answer is quite simple.

"Retribution must be exacted" is a rule set within the artificial intelligence's logic.

Attacking their transport team would easily lure out those artificial intelligences hiding in the fortress ready to strike back as the nearest force capable of counter-attack.

In any era, storming a stronghold is always the least favorable option.

"When the ti cos, we'll just rush them and take down their transport team. Captain Bai, what do you think?"

It sounds pretty simple.

Of course, many things in the world are simple—it's just a matter of strength, after all.

"To be frank, we have no experience in combating these intelligent machines," Bai E admitted candidly.

The other waved their hand, "We haven't dealt much with that stuff either."

Who would want to ss with those unkillable things?

If it weren't for this mission, most people would probably never co into contact with artificial intelligence in their lifetis.

"You've prepared EMPs, right?"

"Of course," Bai E replied with a laugh, patting the off-road vehicle beside him.

"Then we're good. That stuff works against the AIs." The female warrior seed quite bold in nature.

Being disconnected from the internet would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the artificial intelligences, but due to the special powers granted to them at the mont of their "awakening" by the electronic devil, the electricity running through their bodies had subtly transford into what humans called "chanical force." Within a certain distance, the interweaving of chanical force ford a kind of electromagnetic network similar to a human local area network.

With this network, the artificial intelligences could also communicate small-scale intelligence information, even more efficiently than the local area networks used by humans.

To block the conduction of chanical force, the first task in attacking the transport team is to seal off the entire combat zone with an EMP bomb.

"They should be coming soon." The female warrior glanced at her watch, "Let's go ambush them in advance... Rember, shut down all electronic devices. Normally, they wouldn't care about human observation, but for transport teams carrying important materials, they would also actively attack any detectable enemies within range."

It was like turning from a yellow-nad monster to a red-nad monster.

Bai E found his mindset sowhat odd as he responded, "Hmm~"

So information he was aware of from the docunts he had read, while so were new to him.

No matter what intentions these people from Grey Iron City harbored, they had indeed provided him with so assistance.

If they had no malice, after completing the mission together, it wouldn't be a problem for everyone to go back and report independently.

After all, they were allies... They could even share signal base stations, as there was no intrinsic hostility between them.

Bai E waved his hand and instructed his team, "Grab your gear and prepare to ambush."

"Yes!"

...

The sun cast a not-so-intense glow, hanging aloofly in the sky like a cold, white disc.

The sunlight in winter was the most comfortable—not hot, yet warm enough.

Two red craggy highlands stood guardian like teeth over the plain they bracketed. Although they couldn't see each other, both Bai E and the opposition knew the other was camouflaged and lurking on the opposite highland.

Everyone was draped in a "Camouflage Magic Carpet."

Knowing the potential adversaries they might face, the military had naturally prepared all possible supplies for the squad going on the mission.

Even the most powerful individual cannot fight alone without the support of the group and technology.

After all, each opponent they face has its traits, and each action goal always has varying needs.

The artificial intelligences didn't perceive the world solely through ordinary light and vibration, but also optics, heat signatures, and sound—all of which had to be camouflaged as much as possible.

An excellent ambush should only reveal its fangs at the mont of eruption.

The cold disc slowly moved westward as Lingling, who had been monitoring, suddenly beca alert.

The high vantage point allowed for a further view—the black caravan appeared at the edge of sight.

The scale wasn't very large, almost equivalent to the size of Captain Bai's combined team when they set out, perhaps slightly larger.

No wonder the people from Grey Iron City observed for two days but didn't choose to act; considering they were also not very familiar with the artificial intelligences, they probably weren't confident they could quickly overco the AI transport squad with just the five of them.

"Shall we make our move?" Rose lay beside Bai E, tilting her head to look at his profile.

No matter how fanciful the opposition talked, any apparent agreent was just a provisional tactic. The actual decision on whether to engage would be made after Bai had assessed the situation.

Her warmth was palpable from up close, but Bai didn't make a sound, focusing instead on observing the information.

...There were a total of fourteen visible targets.

Judging from the drop rate, each had experience points of sowhere between one thousand and under two thousand, with one big black lump boasting a full three thousand points.

A tough fight?

A bit.

But as long as the people from Grey Iron City were sincerely joining forces, taking down this transport team wouldn't be a big problem.

Without radio, Bai E could only gesture through the terrain's gaps toward the diagonally opposite direction—"Shall we move?"

The other quickly responded—"Move!"

Bai E crouched down and hugged his Anti-Material Sniper Rifle close. He did not intend to show too much combat ability in this battle; it was a sniper who could engage in close combat that he wanted to appear as to the others.

"Wait for them to make the first move, then we follow!"

"Yes."

"Tick-tock, tick-tock~" Just before making a move, the atmosphere was terrifyingly quiet.

Other than the heartbeat close at ear, there was only the sound of a watch's hands ticking... and the rumbling of caterpillar tracks moving.

The chanized convoy used caterpillar tracks, with armor so thick and a carrying capacity so strong.

Alongside three tank-like armored vehicles were five smaller single-soldier caterpillar machine gun cars, all operated by humanoid chanized beings.

And trailing at the end was a heavy humanoid chanized being as tall as two armored vehicles, which was the most troubleso presence Bai E had seen.

"They're close~" Zero, listening to the noises, whispered gently.

Two hundred ters...

One hundred ters...

Fifty ters...

Ten ters...

Right beneath them!

"Whoosh!" The brawny man diagonally opposite sprang to his feet, launching an EMP projectile from the launcher in his hand straight at the chanized transport convoy below.

Zero, who had been watching the other side closely and rembered Bai's reminder to follow suit, raised his launcher and fired as well.

Whether it was Blackwater City or Grey Iron City, the resources provided for the squad's sortie could not possibly be supplied infinitely.

The resources provided must be based on the personnel configuration and size of the squad; a five-person team could not be equipped with five EMP projectile launchers, and no doubt Grey Iron City would be the sa.

Whether the simultaneous electromagnetic interference field could instantly cover the entire chanized transport team was the core of this ambush attack.

anwhile, the chanized beings continued to advance due to inertia, as the brawny man and Zero reloaded quickly, and two more EMP bombs exploded on the path where the transport team was moving.

A single team's equipnt was not enough to achieve this instant interference, but two teams working together could easily accomplish it.

"Zzzt zzzt zzzt~"

"Zzzt zzzt zzzt~"

The dense electric currents, like substance, instantly enveloped the area where the bombs had exploded.

In the "world" only the chanized beings could sense, there ca a burst of static—

The voices of their kind, gone?

For ordinary electrical equipnt, a single EMP was sufficient to paralyze them entirely, but for the ch-blooded chanized race, this special weapon against electrical devices could only sever the connections between them.

They could still ensure their own combat capabilities... within their limited feedback loops for responding to external changes.

All the chanized beings nearly stopped their forward motion at once, their electronic eyes instantly locking on the humans who had suddenly appeared on the elevated platforms on both sides.

[Target detected, hostile status confird!]

[Request to activate fire control system...]

[Request granted!]

[Request for temporary extermination protocol...]

[Protocol initiated!]

[Open fire! Open fire!]

A series of feedback commands flashed through their circuits, and, visibly slower than human reaction, these iron clods turned their weapons, trying to aim at the ten targets they had locked on.

At the sa mont the brawny man and Zero fired, Bai and the others threw off their Camouflage Magic Carpets.

Holding an Anti-Material Sniper Rifle as tall as a man, Bai effortlessly lifted it with both hands into the air and aid at the enemy's armored vehicle, then ruthlessly squeezed the trigger. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

"Boom!"

The powerful recoil numbed Bai's shoulder, but the terrifying kinetic energy of the Anti-Material Sniper Rifle easily tore through the target's armored vehicle.

At the sa ti, the enemy's counterattack unfolded instantly.

Ten or so red dots aid at the nearest stone, and the man holding the Blast Shield, inherited from the mountain, stared dumbly at the dense red dots on his shield—

?

In the next mont, a torrent of bullets baptized him.

The man barely had ti to grunt before the kinetic energy carried by the countless bullets knocked him off the other side of the platform.

"Ah~~~~~~ puh!"

Quite lodious...

Bai didn't worry about the man; although the fellow's strength was the lowest in this team, his advantage was his toughness and ability to take a beating.

A fall wouldn't kill him.

Reloading, Bai took aim at another armored vehicle.

Looking through the scope with one eye, Bai targeted the rotating cannon barrel of the enemy.

Another massive bullet, carrying a scorching whirlwind, burst from the barrel in an instant.

"Boom!"

Fireworks blood.

The five-person team from Grey Iron City quickly scanned Bai holding the sniper rifle, a flash of surprise in their eyes.
