Chapter 101 Ambush
At this time, a group of people dressed not much different from the Knights of Time and Space were quickly heading towards the route that the Fujido Group's troops were taking deep underground.
Not only are these people dressed similarly to the Knights of Spacetime, they also possess certain synesthesia abilities. Among them, there are even three manipulators who fight together with spacetime creatures.
The leader did not carry a gun, but a long alloy sword at his waist. This alloy sword did not look like the standard oriental long sword, but was more western in style.
He is the commander of this special force, affiliated with the Black Umbrella Group, and he came secretly from the Western Continent with William some time ago.
Everyone in this team has synesthesia. In addition to a few manipulators who are extremely talented in manipulating space-time creatures, there are also other professions such as time-space travelers and assassins.
As for this commander, he is a ghost walker with a negative gene for synesthesia . The difference between him and the assassin profession is that although he lacks physical fitness to some extent, he can better master the power of synesthesia, can travel between reality and space-time rifts more frequently, and can even control some lower-level space-time creatures to cooperate with him.
Compared to assassins who kill with one strike, Ghost Walker has more diverse combat methods and more cards in his hand.
At this time, various internal communication channels had been completely interrupted by the interference of time and space activities, so these people could only issue orders face to face.
"Everyone remember, our goal this time is to lure the people from the Fujido Group away. There is no need to fight them to the death. Preserving our own strength is the most important thing."
"Although the communication is currently interrupted, the investigation team should be able to attack the branch of the Space-Time Knights soon. As long as we hold on until the communication is restored, our mission will be accomplished."
"What our Black Umbrella Group wants this time is very important. As long as this mission can be completed, each of us can obtain a large amount of resources!"
Although the Black Umbrella Group and the Fujido Group are both top conglomerates in the old land, there is not only no friendship between , but there are also many conflicts due to their interests.
The results of the Naraku Project do belong to the Fujido Group, but the Black Umbrella Group also needs them very much.
Who is still entangled in who will get the fruits of this plan? Whoever gets it first gets it.
The purpose of this team is also very clear. They came all the way from the Western Continent, risking their lives to pretend to be the Knights of Time and Space, just to ensure that the Black Umbrella Group can obtain the results of the Naraku Project, while eating up the Fujido Group's original market share in Dawn City and further expanding their influence to the Northern Continent.
At this time, someone asked: "What if the Fujido Group pursues us relentlessly and puts us in a dangerous situation?"
The commander said coldly: "Then we must fight back resolutely! Anyway, we don't mind killing a few more people from the Fujido Group. The first priority is to ensure that our people suffer the least losses!"
Someone else said in surprise: "This seems to be the time fog. It wasn't very obvious just now, but now it's getting heavier."
The commander didn't take it seriously. "It's probably something the Space-Time Knights did to stop the investigation team."
"But this is actually good news for us. The time fog can enhance our combat power to a certain extent. After all, we are both synaesthetes, and the time fog can also help to better conceal our true identities."
"Don't worry. Once the investigation team attacks the branch of the Space-Time Knights, the time fog will naturally dissipate. It won't last too long."
…
Chen She, Zhang Sirui and others were also on their way.
Although they followed the Fujido Group at the beginning, they soon took a shortcut and bypassed it.
Because their understanding of the underground situation is completely on a different level.
Although Fujido Yujie also possesses the ability of synesthesia and can find his way to the distribution of the Spacetime Knights, he is very unfamiliar with the terrain in this area. He does not dare to move forward rashly for fear of an ambush, so he moves very slowly.
But Chen She’s situation was completely different.
On the one hand, Chen She has obtained all of Grantham's memories, and he knows the underground area where the Spacetime Knights are located very well and is quite familiar with it; on the other hand, Chen She's servant Grantham is staring at the huge sand table made of spacetime matter of the Spacetime Knights branch, and has a clear grasp of all the movements in the surrounding area.
Not only that, Chen She can also issue instructions directly to all his subordinates through the shackle bracelet and confirm the situation in all directions.
So even though the underground terrain is narrow and the environment is complex, and visibility is low and communication is poor due to space-time activities and time fog, the people led by Chen She can still communicate very smoothly.
"To the left."
"right."
"Break down this wall."
At this time, Chen She seemed to have turned on a full-map cheat. Not only was he strolling in his own backyard, but he also knew the locations of other forces very well.
While the Fujido Group was still struggling to advance slowly towards the branch of the Spacetime Knights, Chen She had already led the people from Lishan Technology to bypass them in advance and outflanked the people pretending to be the Spacetime Knights.
"Okay, stop here."
"Set up the defense line!"
At Chen She's command, these people immediately began to build a defense line relying on the nearby terrain.
This location was carefully chosen by Chen She. They were facing an underground square, with abandoned residential buildings several stories high on both sides of the square.
Although the underground city area of Dawn City is relatively narrow in some specific areas, it still has to meet basic living needs, so it is not so crowded that it is completely impossible to move around.
At the end of the square, the road narrows suddenly, with only a narrow gap between the two residential buildings.
Chen She plans to ambush the group of people pretending to be the Knights of Time and Space here, and attack the Fujitang Group from both inside and outside!
It’s just that the Fujido Group doesn’t know yet that anyone will cooperate with their actions.
In fact, this is not one of the main roads in the entire underground area, but a small road in the city. Logically speaking, the group of people pretending to be the Knights of Time and Space do not have to pass through here, they still have several main roads to choose from.
But the problem is that this path is the shortest one among several options, and the other paths are longer and more detour.
These people pretending to be the Time and Space Knights are only trying to delay the Fujido Group as much as possible. Considering their own safety, they will definitely not run further and further away, and they must be ready to meet up with the main force at any time.
Moreover, they were actually very confident that the members of the Space-Time Knights were being fiercely attacked by the investigation team, and there would be no other things underground to disturb them at this time, so there was no need to make such a safe choice.
Taking this shortcut not only allows them to evacuate as quickly as possible, but also allows them to immediately occupy these two buildings if an accident occurs during the retreat, and continue to suppress the pursuing Fujido Group with firepower.
But they would never have thought of what would happen if these two buildings were occupied by someone first?
Chen She said to everyone: "Our primary goal is to preserve our own strength. If the other side really gets anxious, we will immediately retreat in an orderly manner to the next location and continue to ambush them there."
Zhang Sirui nodded. He had already set up his sniper rifle.
Obviously, although Lishan Technology has sent out its elite troops this time, it is not cost-effective to fight to the death with those who are pretending to be the Space-Time Knights, or the elite corporate army led by Fujido Yusuke, which may cause some unnecessary casualties.
Therefore, they ambushed here not to destroy either of the two forces by their own strength, but to slow down the retreat of these fake Knights of Time and Space as much as possible.
This would allow the Fujido Group to catch up, and the fight between the two forces would become even more brutal.
Aren't you trying to lead the Fujido Group's people around in circles? Now that your feet are shackled, let's see what you can do?
Everyone was ready, especially Zhang Sirui, who was already getting a little impatient.
Zhao Zhen and Lin Luxi had already set up mechanical mechanisms nearby, which would trigger an explosion if someone rushed over. The other resistance fighters put away their cold weapons and each aimed their smart rifles at the target direction.
Li Yunhan mainly fights with cold weapons, but now he certainly cannot go into battle himself, so he also holds a smart rifle.
Although these people are not as skilled in the use of smart rifles as those who use mechanical methods, with the terrain so favorable, as long as they fire desperately, they can always cause certain casualties to the enemy.
Everyone waited patiently.
…
At this time, the Black Umbrella Group's special forces, acting as the Time and Space Knights, have met the team led by Yusuke Fujido.
Fujido Yusuke became alert almost instantly.
"attack!"
Fujido Yusuke shouted loudly, and without too many words, his soldiers drew out the alloy swords at their waists like crazy and rushed towards the enemy!
These soldiers knew very well the purpose of their trip, they wanted to find the location of the Time and Space Knights branch and take back the results of the Naraku Project, which originally belonged to them.
At this time, the people of the Spacetime Knights have appeared, which means that they are not far away from the branch of the Spacetime Knights. As long as they first eliminate the blocking force in front of them, they can reach the branch of the Spacetime Knights before the investigation team.
Of course we have to race against time at times like this!
And the other side did control various space-time creatures to fight against them just like the Space-Time Knights, but soon these Space-Time Knights could not withstand the powerful firepower suppression of the Fujido Group and began to retreat quickly.
Of course Fujido Yusuke couldn't let them get away, so he swung the alloy sword in his hand and immediately chased after them.
To him, the main force of the Time and Space Knights must be resisting the attack of the Investigation Team. This force is just a side branch of the Time and Space Knights. It is weaker in combat and it is normal for it to collapse at the first touch.
If he hesitated and didn't dare to chase them, causing them to run away, they would definitely hide in the complex underground city. Wouldn't this be like letting a tiger go back to the mountains?
So the people of Fujido Group were furious and chased after them quickly!
…
The two forces are one in front and one behind. Although the Fujido Group is determined to eliminate all these people, they don't know that the people they are chasing are not a branch of the Time and Space Knights at all, but a special force of the Black Umbrella Group.
And the strength of this special force is much stronger than the remaining Knights of Time and Space.
Moreover, the original mission of this force was to lure away the people of the Fujido Group, so they did not want to fight and retreated quickly, resulting in a chase between the two sides without too many casualties.
The commander of the special forces is very satisfied with the current situation. Next, he just needs to continue to lead the Fujido Group in circles in the underground ruins. When the space-time activities disappear and communications are restored, he can evacuate.
Once Snow Ley and William of the Black Industry Group find the branch of the Space-Time Knights and obtain the results of the Naraku Plan, they will definitely contact the Fujido Group to withdraw from the underground. At that time, they can leave secretly and meet up with other people from the Black Umbrella Group.
The commander retreated while making his wishful thinking.
At this time they had arrived at an underground square.
The commander looked up at the two residential buildings in front of him and the narrow passage between the buildings, and his eyes lit up.
"Yes, this is a good ambush location. We can occupy these two buildings, ambush the Fujido Group, and further slow them down!"
For these people, their mission is to delay the Fujido Group, but there are no clear requirements on how to delay it.
Although taking the Fujido Group around in circles on the ground is also an option, this method is relatively risky after all.
If we are caught up by the Fujido Group by accident, we might be at a disadvantage if a fight breaks out.
At this time, if we can rely on the two buildings in front of us, wait for the opportunity, and ambush the Fujido Group that is following closely behind from a high position, we can achieve the same effect, and the risk will be even smaller.
Others also nodded, obviously they also thought that the commander's decision was very wise.
But at this moment, the commander suddenly shouted, "Be careful, there is a problem here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a violent explosion was heard. A soldier who was acting as a member of the Knights of Spacetime hastily touched a mechanical mechanism somewhere, which directly caused a violent explosion!
This was underground, and the explosion echoed endlessly, unable to be transmitted out, making everyone dizzy. If it weren't for the protection of combat helmets, some weaker people might even be knocked unconscious on the spot.
Just when they had not yet fully understood the situation, a bullet suddenly flew from a building opposite and accurately hit the head of a person next to the commander.
Kill with one blow!
Then there was a burst of gunfire, and more than a dozen gun muzzles began to appear in the windows of the two buildings, firing intensively. As a mechanic, Zhao Zhen could control several guns to shoot at the same time.
Originally, this was not an overwhelming firepower, but these people were now in a state of confusion and were immediately beaten and fled in panic!
"Hurry and find cover!"
At the commander's command, everyone began to look for nearby shelters to hide, but they soon realized a new problem - the people from the Fujido Group were still chasing them.
They had originally planned to ambush the people from the Fujido Group in this place, but they didn't expect that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind them, and they were ambushed instead!
This created a very awkward situation. Rushing forward was very disadvantageous, because these people with synesthesia were not very good at long-distance combat.
Although people who have mastered the ability of synesthesia are not afraid of gun damage to a certain extent, the enemy's firepower is very strong, and they occupy a favorable terrain. In this way, the people with higher energy fluctuation levels will not be in big trouble, but the relatively weaker people may be in trouble.
But if we are here, the people from Fujido Group will be here soon. We can't tell them now that this is all a misunderstanding, right?
Even if they really said it, there was no way the people at Fujido Group would believe it.
In a flash, they heard a noise behind them. It was obvious that Yusuke Fujido had caught up with them with the Fujido Group's men.
Yusuke Fujido didn't care what the situation was ahead. They only knew that there was an unknown armed force ahead that had blocked the members of the Space-Time Knights.
Now that the communication is cut off, they certainly cannot verify who the other party is. Anyway, they might as well kill these people from the Spacetime Knights in front of them first!
