Atlas of Heaven and Man

Just as those combat personnel were rapidly advancing, several kilometers ahead on the road, the convoy that had appeared there suddenly accelerated.

Almost simultaneously, the convoy that had previously passed the escort convoy had already turned back halfway and was rushing towards their rear.

Looking down from the sky, they perfectly formed a pincer movement against the entire escort convoy.

After Yao Guwen received the message about problems ahead, he knew the situation was bad. He decisively ordered all members to bring out their firearms and had the vehicles in the rear move up, forming a defensive formation to block the impact at the front. Machine guns were raised on the roofs of the vehicles, aimed at the front and sides.

Even if there were Esoteric Order rituals to utilize, firearms were still the most convenient and effective.

However, he knew that this alone was not enough, so he immediately contacted the few Esoteric Order Bureau members inside.

Immediately, several members got out of the vehicles and, under the cover of the vehicle bodies at the front, came to the sides of the convoy. They spread bundles of carpet-like objects on the ground along both sides of the road, then hammered nails into the edges.

These Esoteric Order patterns could prevent people from afar from observing them normally and create a kind of visual distortion.

The implanted combat personnel on the opposite side were advancing very quickly, and in just a moment, they were in front of them. However, even faster were those combat creatures.

Because they had wings, they came from the sky, but as they approached, they were affected by the field and fell down one by one.

They were then shot down by the fighters and gunmen in the convoy using weapons, seemingly having no effect.

However, Yao Guwen didn't feel relieved. Since the other side came to attack them, they must know their identity. These combat creatures that rushed over should have been sent to test the effect of the ritual, so as to facilitate the subsequent raid.

Sure enough, after the first wave of combat creatures passed, the combat personnel in the rear roughly understood their arrangement and accelerated towards them.

Behind these personnel, some people also raised their guns, trying to provide support for them, but as soon as one person raised his gun, a long-range gunman on this side shot him, and his head tilted back, falling to the ground on the spot. Even a reinforced skull could not withstand the precise shooting of this kind of long-range firearm.

At this moment, the machine gunner on the roof of the vehicle began to fire. Seeing the intense gunfire, these armed personnel did not rush to the front, but separated from there, trying to outflank them from both sides.

Yao Guwen saw this situation and, seeing that there seemed to be more enemy gunmen joining in the distance, he decisively used the Realm Token to order: "Everyone, put on your breathing masks and throw smoke grenades."

As the order was issued, escort personnel immediately threw cans of things out, smashing them around the convoy and on the road. A series of bangs sounded, and thick, turbid smoke immediately came out.

This was a special smoke, used to obscure vision and also to call for support, allowing nearby checkpoints to discover the situation here. They were wearing special goggles, which allowed them to identify the situation outside, creating a favorable situation for themselves.

However, today's weather was not very favorable to them. The wind from the wilderness was really strong, and a lot of the smoke was blown away as soon as it came out, and it was still getting bigger and bigger, but even if it could only cover up a little, it was good.

When those combat personnel saw the smoke rising, they did not rush in rashly, and the machine gunners on the convoy side also did not rush to shoot, but used the cover of the smoke to let the remote snipers take out key targets.

If this continued, it seemed that they could hold on. The radio had already sent a request for help to Central City and various strongholds. This place was not far from Central City. If the support team could arrive in time, they would be able to get out of the siege.

But just as the situation seemed to be stabilizing, they suddenly saw a transport vehicle speeding towards them, seemingly trying to ram through the vehicles blocking the road ahead.

Before he could give the order, the machine gunner immediately opened fire, and the vehicle was soon blown out of its tires, and then overturned and lay across the road, but at the same time it became a cover, blocking the view behind.

After a while, there were suddenly two "thump thump" sounds, followed by two explosions in the middle of the convoy.

One explosion center happened to be an armed vehicle, the body of the vehicle shook, and the machine gunner on it was directly killed, and shrapnel blasted in all directions, affecting the armed vehicles within a dozen meters around.

The other explosion landed in an empty space, causing no casualties, only the tires of one vehicle were blown out. Obviously, the smoke and the ritual had played a certain role.

Yao Guwen's expression changed, "Mortar?!"

This artillery piece was originally arranged by the ambush personnel in front, waiting for their convoy to come over and fire, but the convoy actually stopped a few kilometers away, so it was difficult for them to accurately hit the target. So now they were carrying the cannon barrel forward, and simply moved it to a nearby place to fire.

Yao Guwen knew it was not good. If these two cannons were not taken out, they could only be passively beaten. It was too late to send someone out now, and the other side must have precautions. He immediately used the Realm Token to call the remote snipers.

"Take out those two artillerymen for me!"

Hearing the order, the remote snipers immediately opened fire, but there was not much good effect, because several protective shields were erected in front of the mortar, so they could only change positions.

The two remote snipers did not give up, they tried to change to another position, but as soon as they reached the edge of the convoy, they were attacked by the remote snipers on the opposite side, causing them to be unable to get out at all, and could only start a counter-shoot with the other side.

At this time, the alienated tissue in his body turned layer by layer, and after accumulating enough strength, his arm suddenly swung!

The protective shield in front of the mortar was suddenly hit by a heavy hammer, and fell backwards, while the heads of the two artillerymen who were still preparing exploded one after another.

At this time, a person nearby tried to go over and hold up the shield to fill the gap, but after only running two steps, a gunshot rang out, and a cloud of blood burst out of his head. The remote sniper in the rear saw that there was no shield to block, and then exerted his strength.

Seeing this, Chen Chuan stopped paying attention to this place, but quickly moved to the other side, casually throwing a stone to shake the shield open, and the remote sniper in the team quickly solved the artilleryman on this side.

Yao Guwen saw it in the back and couldn't help but feel relieved, but he didn't feel much relaxation. He could see that this time it was definitely a big force that had taken action. Not to mention carrying artillery, there were dozens of implanted combat personnel, and at least hundreds of combat creatures he had seen. This was enough to fight a small-scale war.

If it weren't for the fact that their escort convoy was also of a super standard, and Chen Chuan had temporarily joined the convoy, then the other side would probably have collapsed under a wave of attack.

At this moment, a message came from the Realm Token, saying that the convoy that was suspected to be from Lianwei Heavy Industries had also returned, but was now blocked in the rear.

After hearing this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, he had listened to Chen Chuan's instructions just now, and sprinkled some tire-piercing nails and placed many tire-piercing devices on the road behind, and not just one place, but some were placed at intervals. Those cars had no way to come over for a while, and had to get down and clean them up first.

This way, they would not be attacked from both sides for a while.

After the mortar was taken out, the other side did not try to attack the convoy guarded by machine guns, and both sides tacitly started a long-range shootout, and seemed to fall into a stalemate for a while.

Yao Guwen's expression was solemn. He believed that this situation would not last long, because the Third Threshold fighters on the opposite side had not yet joined the battle.

Once these people rushed in at high speed, the gunmen in his team would have a hard time reacting. If there was no suitable person to come forward to block them, then it would only take a while to destroy the entire situation that could still be maintained.

So the final outcome still depended on the fight between the fighters on both sides.

Just as he was thinking this, his expression became stern, because he saw a figure suddenly appear in his sight.

Although he was also dressed as a combatant, the speed he showed was clearly a Third Threshold fighter. He stared at the figure of that person.

But not knowing if he was worried about something, the other party just stood there watching the convoy in this direction, and did not come forward.

But he did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and had already prepared himself. Once the person came in, he would come forward to resist, as for Director Lei in the back, he could only temporarily hand it over to Chen Chuan.

At this time, an extended armored vehicle was driving towards this side, and Jian Cheng Sheng was sitting in the back seat, holding a knife and looking at the front.

Although the front was very lively, and there were many strange things that had never been seen on the island, it had almost no effect on people like him. So he didn't pay too much attention, just looking forward to his opponent.

The car came to the front and slowly stopped. Someone strode forward and opened the car door, and the person in the front passenger seat turned his head and said: "Mr. Jian Cheng, we have arrived. The next thing, I leave it to you."

Jian Cheng Sheng solemnly said: "Leave it to me." Then he picked up the knife and got out of the car.
