Chapter 7: Watch Your Step

“…… Our internal intelligence suggests that the ACA may have made a 'fatal mistake' in the South African theater, and although the ACA officially denied it, it is rumored that Marshall Colona, the vice chairman of the Eye of Unity, has gone to South Africa to ......"

The glow-in-the-dark watch pointed to 9:47 a.m., and darkness had fallen on the city as promised, and although there were still thirteen minutes to go before the curfew, the residents who had long been accustomed to returning home early had already completely emptied the streets.

Ling Yu put down the optical telescope, there was no movement in the room opposite, the whole street seemed to be dead, he could even feel the muffled breathing of the ACA soldiers at the barricade at the intersection in the distance - and behind the two sentries with guns loosely on their shoulders, a multi-purpose rover made Ling Yu dare not use any method to scan the building opposite, but could only use the most primitive optical telescope to observe.

"Boss, this sausage is good, do you want to try it?"

Jiesi's voice was very low, Ling Yu didn't look back, but in the next second, a piece of sausage appeared in front of his eyes, and he had to move his gaze to the blonde girl who still had a piece of dried meat in her mouth.

"Thanks, I have my own hands."

Ling Yu frowned as if he felt that this action was too intimate, but he still reached out and took it from Jiesi's hand before putting it into his mouth.

"Why don't we just go in?"

Jiesi put the jerky into her mouth, picked up a sandwich from the table and handed it to Ling Yu.

"Something is wrong."

"How?" Jess took out a tissue and wiped her mouth elegantly, as if the girl who had gobbled up more than a dozen sandwiches, more than a dozen packets of jerky, nearly two rice sausages and five liters of energy drink was someone else.

"Intuition." Ling Yu took the sandwich and took a bite, chewing slowly, "There is no sign of life activity in the opposite room, although the joint time is eleven o'clock, it stands to reason that the consignee should have been waiting for us in the house a long time ago." There is a curfew coming soon, and unless the other party is a high-authority officer, there is no way to move freely on the streets. ”

"So eat more, prepare for the worst, jerky or sausage?"

"Sausage, thank you."

Watching Ling Yu stuff the sandwich into his mouth, Jiesi, who was already full of wine and food, cut off about twenty centimeters of traditional South African sausage with a knife and handed it to Ling Yu. TF is not all big stomachs, but because almost all TFs work on the principle of bioenergy, even mechanical TF is bioenergy converted into electrical energy with extremely high efficiency, so as a machine with superhuman combat ability, the pre-stored energy of the diet is the same as refueling and charging before the departure of a tank and aircraft. While compressed bars or injections can do the same thing, delicious food can help relieve nerve stress.

"At a distance of two hundred meters, there is a sentry post at each end, two armored vehicles, and the scanning vehicle is also equipped with a twenty-millimeter cannon, let's count three, two standard infantry squads, twenty-four people, and it is expected that there will be three or four heavy fire groups, and no separate heavy machine gun positions have been found, but the weapon stations on the armored vehicles are working."

"If something happens, leave it to me."

Jiesi patted her chest confidently, Ling Yu frowned slightly, hesitated, but still nodded, "You are a mechanical TF, if the other party uses EMP, don't be in love, don't be reckless, safety first." ”

"Don't worry, boss, I'm also the chief knight no matter what."

"Well, I forgot, how to put it, you really didn't have any majesty at all."

Ling Yu shrugged his shoulders, he might have been too careful - but whatever he was, there was nothing wrong with being careful.

"I'm the exception, the other knights aren't so friendly."

"It's good if you admit it." Ling Yu, who rarely had the upper hand, showed a shallow smile, even a three-year-old child knew that the people of the Knights, from the trainee knight to the speaker, all looked ruthless and heartless, and they were guys who had to turn their nostrils into the sky when they fell into the ditch, no wonder Ling Yu always forgot the identity of Jì Jiesi.

Ling Yu moved his gaze back to the window, and suddenly, the tightly curtained curtain of the opposite room suddenly fluttered without warning, Ling Yu's brows instantly locked, he divided the sausage in his hand into his mouth, flicked the magnification disc on the optical scope, and stared at the lower right corner of the curtain.

"The situation is not right, act in advance!"

Ling Yu turned around and threw the telescope on the bed on the side, took out a pistol with a silencer from under his armpit, and pushed it backhand to load it as he walked, Jiesi jumped up from the chair almost at the same time, caught the fallen chair with her right hand and threw it on the bed with her backhand, without making a sound.

"There is a change in the air flow in the room, because the air conditioner is on, it is normal for the curtains to flutter, but there is abnormal shaking just now, and then the frequency of the curtains fluttering has changed."

Although strictly speaking, there was no need for Ling Yu to explain, but considering that the two were working together for the first time, Ling Yu still stated his views when he went downstairs.

"Do you have the ability to perceive?" Jesse asked.

"I call this experience, although the evidence is not sufficient, but there are too many details along the way, and I have a bad feeling."

"Hmmm......"

"Wait!"

The two of them jumped and rushed from the sixth floor to the downstairs in an instant, but before rushing out of the door, Ling Yu stretched out his hand, grabbed Jiesi's shoulder, and pulled the girl to stick to the wall.

"I'll go alone, you stay here, keep the radio silent, if it's a qiēshun lì I'll signal to you at the window, if it's a trap then we'll work together inside and outside to get it."

"Understood, boss, if I can't meet, I'll go straight to the meeting point."

Ling Yu nodded, very satisfied with Jiesi's answer, the young man in black took a breath, touched the edge of the doorway, looked left and right, and rushed into the night.

Ling Yu quickly climbed up the stairs, the lights in the entire corridor went out, and only the electronic locks on each door on both sides of the corridor emitted a faint red glow.

The familiar darkness reassured him a little, and the young man walked cautiously and quickly like a hunting cheetah, without making a sound. He arrived at the door of room 503, still holding a gun in his right hand and swiping his left hand on the card reader.

Click--

The door lock made a crisp opening sound, and Ling Yu gently pushed the door open, and then he smelled blood.

Without any further delay, Ling Yu quickly dodged into the door, and in the small living room, a corpse fell crookedly on the sofa, and the blood flowing from the bullet hole in his chest had turned purple and almost dried up.

"." Ling Yu spat out a national curse, even without DNA verification, Ling Yu, who had an excellent memory, had already recognized at a glance that the man in the suit with dilated pupils in front of him was his recipient - the agent of the Alliance Secret Service codenamed "Stapler".

After quickly checking the bathroom and kitchen of the studio apartment, and after making sure that there was no danger, Ling Yu walked to the corpse, touched the carotid artery that was no longer beating, and routinely confirmed the other party's dilated pupils again, and began to examine the corpse.

This kind of thing is not the first time, the buyer will sometimes die at the joint for various strange reasons, and at this time the courier has to do is to collect the information of the body, and then contact the consignor, there will generally be a backup signatory, even if it is unable to sign, the courier will get 10% of the hardship fee.

But if that's the case, nine million will be wasted, okay?!

The chest was hit by four bullets of 38 caliber bullets, which was not a military standard firearm, but it was enough to kill a normal person who was not wearing body armor.

There were signs that the pockets had been turned over, and the killer had flipped them in such a hurry that the pockets of the corpses were torn - was he looking for something?

Ling Yu took a step back, and suddenly, the corpse's posture made him feel a little incongruous - the corpse's left hand was cushioned behind him at an abnormal angle, as if he was going to pull out a gun from his waist before he died.

Ling Yu reached under his hand along the corpse's arm, but his pupils suddenly shrank sharply, and the young man suddenly turned over and kicked his right foot into the air, followed by a crisp sound of fractures!

Too careless! Ling Yu gritted his teeth, ignoring the fact that the killer might still be hiding in the room just because the wound on the corpse had been inflicted a few hours ago! On the contrary, if the killer really searched the body carefully, how could he not notice the unnatural left hand of the corpse!

Ling Yu's body flipped in the air, flashed to the side with one hand, and quickly pulled the trigger, the point four or five bullets of the Type 2125 pistol rushed out of the silencer, and there was a silent explosion sound like the opening of a bottle of red wine, and almost at the same time, three blood flowers also exploded on the opponent's body, and the bullet tore through the muscles and bones, making a similar sound.

Almost at the same time, five or six figures dressed in ACA combat uniforms rushed into the room, the gunfire of the "Red-tailed Scorpion" silenced the sound of the submachine gun masking the other qiē sounds, Ling Yu rushed forward, and used the intelligence officer's corpse as a shield - the "Red-tailed Scorpion" warhead focused on stopping, because the CQB needed to reduce the penetration, and even a few warheads that could penetrate the corpse could not leave any scars on the TF's high-density muscles.

In addition, Ling Yu didn't forget to grab a handful when he was propping up the corpse, unexpectedly, his hand touched a metal object on the sofa under the corpse, and before he had time to look at it, Ling Yu held the uneven metal box and smashed the corpse into a commando who rushed into the room!

Ling Yu, who rushed into the enemy group, gritted his teeth, grabbed the barrel of the nearest enemy soldier, his body sank rapidly, his right arm smashed into the opponent's chest, and the composite ceramic bulletproof plate was smashed in an instant, so that this blow almost ripped off the opponent's right arm!

Ling Yu, who was sure enough to kill a blow, grabbed the opponent's bulletproof vest with his backhand, dragging the fresh corpse in front of him, but his right hand stretched out from the right armpit of the human shield, and two accurate single shots pierced the eyebrows of the commando who was shooting frantically, and the huge warhead impact brought down the two headshots at the same time, and the muzzle of the submachine gun drew an arc in the air, leaving two strings of bullet holes in the ceiling.

Not bothering to appreciate the abstract art created by himself, Ling Yu, who had left the corpse, rushed to the right front, and the moment the last remaining commando, that is, the first soldier to be knocked down by the corpse, pulled out his pistol, Ling Yu had already stepped on his chest mercilessly, the soldier spurted out a mouthful of blood, and Ling Yu's huge kicking force as a flesh system TF even made the floor sink significantly!

"Jesse."

"I'm here."

Ling Yu raised his right hand, although the miniature headset he was carrying did not need to be like this, but the young man who was used to nature still liked to cover one ear when talking.

"The target is dead, it's a trap."

"I already know."

Ling Yu was slightly stunned, and in the next second, there was a dense gunfire downstairs.

Ling Yu rushed to the glass window to see what was happening, but he only saw two missiles flying towards him!

"I'm cāo!"

Without any hesitation, Ling Yu bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and the moment the severe pain spread in his brain, the young man's body also disappeared in place!!

At least thirty guns of different calibers swept at the girl standing in the middle of the road - from a 20mm cannon large enough to penetrate a light armored vehicle to the most common 7.62 caliber assault rifles, and a dense rain of bullets rained down on the target round after round.

However, all the shooters' eyes widened as a miracle was happening before their eyes - the girl standing in the middle of the road, with her right hand outstretched, was still smiling shallowly, and all the bullets slammed into her right hand, and then was bounced away mercilessly with the spark.

A violent explosion exploded from the building above the girl's head, and the fragments of the blasted concrete mixed with shrapnel fell on the top of the girl's head, along with the black-haired youth who had lost his jacket and revealed his black bodysuit.

"It's okay, boss."

"I can't die."

Receiving an affirmative answer, Jesse smiled even brighter, she tilted her head, and a distorted light and shadow crossed her, revealing the undisguised girl to reveal a blue knight's uniform and a translucent dress. However, at this time, the sleeve of the girl's right arm has been completely torn, revealing her mechanical arm.

Together, there was a one-man tall dodecagonal metal shield centered on the wrist of his right hand and open in front of him - not counting small-caliber ammunition, the 20-millimeter cannon alone withstood hundreds of rounds, but not even a single bullet mark was left!

Ling Yu, who shook his head slightly, smiled--the right hand and arm that almost made him deflated were indeed the product of black technology, and he still underestimated this chief knight who always kept smiling.

"Leave it to me who will pant, and you will be responsible for smashing all the boxes of Wang Ba."

"As you wish, boss."

After the simple and straightforward order was answered, a massacre that could not be considered fair began.
