Chapter 148: Goodbye Coben
Shen Chao marked Cobain's mansion on the map, this guy has obviously reaped a lot of benefits from Rhett in the past two years, and his local mansion covers a very large area, which is said to have been converted from a museum.
Originally, Shen Chao didn't have much ill feeling towards Coben, after all, he was just a middleman who took money to do things. As an intelligence organization, the third echelon, like other intelligence agencies, is inevitably in some contact with this kind of black and white intermediary.
And Cobain didn't really get in his way. But as an important player, Cobain still has a certain threat to them. Because he should have a lot of black material about Rhett on his hands.
Unlike agents like Shen Chao, Coburn is an important agent of Red, responsible for doing all kinds of dirty work for Red. So, naturally, he also has some important information in his hands.
And in order to save his life in the crisis-ridden intelligence community, Cobain will definitely leave some records, just like Shen Chao recorded all the black work he did for Red in his diary. In order to prevent it from being sacrificed one day. Shen Chao hoped that he would interrogate Koben and get some information that he did not have.
In addition, Shen Chao was not prepared to leave Cobain's life after the interrogation. He's back this time to open up a safe world, and the old churros among criminals like Cobain are a potential destabilizing factor.
Cobain had seen his and Custer's faces, knew their identities, and had been ordered to clean them up. Maybe it will cause some adverse effects on himself or Custer's plans in the future. So, he was going to dispose of him after the interrogation.
After driving the car outside Cobain's mansion. Shen Chao took Alice to briefly scout the garrison here. After confirming that the garrison here only had a small number of professional bodyguards and more than 20 temporarily hired gangsters, Shen Chao quickly made a tactical arrangement.
Let Alice stay in the observation position, help herself observe the situation outside, and prepare to respond or provide fire support. At the same time, Alice is also responsible for monitoring the communications in the villa. Help him infiltrate the mansion more smoothly.
At this time, Shen Chao only had a silencer and a "broadsword" assault shotgun on his body. With the shield generator and sonar goggles on his body. Shen Chao didn't think there was anything here that could threaten him.
The silencer was his original MK.23, so that the people who cleaned up the scene afterwards could understand that they had done it. After all, one of the important purposes of his visit this time was to show that he was still alive.
The shotgun he carries is a well-known Mass Effect firearm. As a military-type low-rate shotgun, the "Broadsword" is very lethal against all kinds of soft and hard targets, as well as shields, ability barriers, etc., and is very impressive. At close range, it's simply a hand-held artillery.
Although it is a human-designed weapon, the broadsword is not suitable for most humans, because ordinary humans cannot withstand the super recoil of this gun.
Only soldiers who have undergone biochemical modifications that have worked very well (such as the N7) can use this weapon as such. And it won't hurt itself during use.
This is well understood, the full weight of the broadsword is close to 30 kg, the structure is compact, and the recoil is huge. In the early years. Starlink was overly optimistic about its future enhancement of the Soldier.
At that time, the general opinion was that the Star Alliance would soon make another breakthrough in biochemical modification technology, and they would soon be able to raise the physique of a large number of Star Alliance soldiers to the level of N7.
So, they designed such a weapon that only pursues lethal effects but ignores other performance indicators. It is said that when the weapon design department of the Star Federation was testing the broadsword. There are many testers who dislocate and fall during use......
In the end, this gun was only equipped with a small number of special units of the Star Alliance Navy, and subsequent reports of its use were also mixed. Eventually, after the weapon was released from the ban on the market, the broadsword unexpectedly became a big seller among the Krogan people. …,
The extremely strong Krogan people are a perfect match for this weapon, and the armies of the major Krogan warlords have purchased this weapon on a large scale. Today. Broadswords even appear on the battle flags of some of the Krogan tribes.
Now, the original "Broadsword" produced by Starlink is relatively rare in the market. In their place were various modified broadswords for the use of the Krogan people, which were made more powerful. Weapons that also increase recoil have endured in the market against the Krogans.
The broadsword in Shen Chao's hand is this version. The barrel is reinforced with a heavy one. Shoulder pads have been removed. The lethality has been increased by 40% compared to the original. The weight is just 34 kg!
Although people say that the broadsword is a special weapon for Krogan, Shen Chao has tried this weapon before. At that time, his physique was not as strong as it is now. But even so, the gun was very useful to him.
The question of recoil or something was not strict for him. It's just a little bit harder to control. Plus its lethality is huge. Easy to operate and maintain. Arguably the perfect melee weapon. The only downside is the number of bullets in the magazine.
The single magazine of the broadsword has less than 100 rounds. Among Mass Effect guns, this is one of the few. But that's not a problem, it's not a disadvantage at all compared to its massive lethality.
Shen Chao is carrying it now, basically to use it as an explosive. Because the broadsword can be easily knocked down by a thick and sturdy reinforced concrete wall at close range. The physical damage is similar to a direct hit by a 130mm tank gun. It's very powerful.
Back to the present, after Shen Chao jumped into Cobain's mansion, he first began to carefully start cleaning up the gangsters on the periphery. Since they are all gang members, the combat effectiveness of these people is the appearance of ordinary gangsters, and they are very amateurish.
Not only do these gun-wielding thugs like to have several people standing together, but they also don't have a well-established liaison mechanism. As early as when he observed just now, Shen Chao found that they did not have a fixed radio communication. It saved him a lot of trouble.
Seeing that they were so amateurish, Shen Chao was not polite, he slowly cleaned up these peripheral cannon fodder all the way, because the enemy's training degree was very low, so Shen Chao did not shoot all the way, and easily relied on physical skills to knock down or kill these guys one by one.
He didn't deliberately use a killer move, because there was no need, and according to his expectations, he would be able to clear all the security forces here in less than ten minutes.
So most of the targets here are knocked out by him, and it only takes an hour or two for them to come to their senses. Only one or two of them were caught and resisted, and the more powerful ones were twisted by him.
By the time he approached Cobain's penthouse bedroom, there were only five or six professional bodyguards left in the mansion. And these guys don't know that the 20 or so guys outside who helped them guard have all been wiped out.
These guys are quite dedicated, and they don't play cards or chat. They were all guarding the outside of the bedroom with guns in hand. It's just that they are doomed to not be able to fulfill their duties.
Shen Chao returned downstairs, found a power distributor, and then carefully cut off the power on the top floor. Then, in the dark, three of the bodyguards hurriedly picked up their flashlights and went downstairs to check the situation.
They lined up in a standard assault search formation, guns in hand to inspect a room that had just been cleaned by Shen Chao. They leaned very tightly, like a small triangle. Theoretically, they are able to react the fastest to an enemy attacking from any direction.
However, they had obviously never encountered an opponent of Shen Chao's level. At this time, Shen Chao was hanging upside down on a water supply pipe above their heads. He slowly adjusted his position to maximize the effect of his first hit.
As the three bodyguards saw the first corpse, they stopped and prepared for an early warning, and at this moment, Shen Chao fell from the top of their heads, and Shen Chao fell with people and equipment, totaling more than 100 kilograms. …,
He just knocked down the first victim without any suspense. A guy standing behind a triangle. Now, the other two bodyguards are to his right and in front of him. He was trying to turn his head around, trying to see the situation.
Before the remaining two people could turn their heads, Shen Chao quickly made two moves, hitting the back of the head of the guy on the right who hadn't turned his head yet, and directly knocked the unlucky bodyguard down.
Another trick is to pull the neck of the person standing at the front. Disarm with one hand and lock his neck with the other. Shen Chao's speed was too fast, and it was only at this time that the bodyguard in front of him turned his head halfway.
Of course, he didn't have to turn around, because Shen Chao used his already strong arms to wrap around his neck. And began to put pressure on the carotid arteries on either side of the guy's neck.
Under the pressure of his strong neck, it only took a few seconds, and finally the bodyguard also fainted due to lack of oxygen in his brain. Gently putting him down on the ground, Shen Chao observed the room again and walked upstairs.
Now, there are only 3 bodyguards. Shen Chao didn't plan to play hide and seek with them, and after he went upstairs, the few remaining bodyguards were guarding the bedroom under the command of Cobain. One of them was supposed to be the leader of the bodyguards, who were nervously calling a few bodyguards who had just gone down to check on the situation.
Shen Chao smiled when he saw this, although the tactical choices of these guys seemed very good, it was still a little unrealistic to expect to rely on this method to stop an agent trained by the cell division project team.
Shen Chao is quite sure that even a novice in the third echelon can bombard these bodyguards without barriers. However, he is not ready to use the classic tactic of attracting attention + each break. That's too time-consuming.
He marked the location of several bodyguards on sonar goggles in front of the door, and then kicked the apparently reinforced wooden door in front of him. The thick wooden gate flew out as if it had been blasted.
