When the soldiers of Military Science and Biotechnology looked up, they only saw the bullets they fired raining back down on them like a storm.
Micro missiles instantly overturned the armored vehicle that was their last cover, leaving only three Behemoths to barely shelter the remaining dozen soldiers.
One of the Behemoth cars suddenly opened its rear door, and two burly men in Centaur Armor raised their heavy machine guns towards Mercer in the sky. The caliber of this type of machine gun is astonishingly large, generally mounted on infantry fighting vehicles for use.
But with the help of the Centaur Armor, they firmly stood their ground and began to continuously fire at Mercer in the sky.
Mercer did not rush forward, nor did he turn on the gravitational device again, instead, he maneuvered at high speed in the air to dodge the bullets.
He was waiting for an opportunity.
And the soldiers on the ground finally had a chance to catch their breath. They shouted and organized a counterattack. Among them, a high-ranking agent loaded with Sianwistan also took up arms and began firing precisely at Mercer.
Mercer had no choice but to activate the gravitational device again to slow down the bullets, while the soldiers below started firing desperately, causing his power to drain rapidly.
If he didn't have to worry about the equipment being transported inside the vehicle, Mercer could have directly swooped down and ended the fight with a few savage gravity cannon blasts from his hand-held gravitational device.
Except for the enemy equipped with Sianwistan, no one could escape such a wide-ranging heavy blow.
[Mercer: If I don't act, I'm going to get riddled with bullets.]
[V: Hold on, hold on! Aim...here it comes!]
Suddenly, the explosive sound of a pistol rang out from the ground.
The high-ranking agent equipped with Sianwistan only had time to turn his head and saw a high-speed bullet flying toward his chest. He tried hard to dodge but was still hit in the right chest.
In the blink of an eye, a bowl-sized blood hole was blasted out. V laughed, holding the smoking pistol, and came unexpectedly from behind military technology.
At the same time, Mann, Dolio, and Rebecca also emerged from a disguised private car and opened fire, instantly covering the soldiers with firepower, leaving them nowhere to escape.
V patiently waited for the gunfire to subside before rushing toward the Behemoths. The two soldiers equipped with Centaur were already being suppressed by the unexpected flank attack, unable to stand properly. The Centaur Exoskeleton's shortcomings were laid bare at this moment.
As a power-assist exoskeleton, even if it can be equipped with upper body armor, the soldiers' upper bodies still aren't well protected in essence.
One soldier, enduring the barrage of bullets, tried to counterattack. His heavy subcutaneous armor and helmet withstood several heavy machine-gun rounds, but enduring bullets didn't negate the impact. He was battered and unable to aim properly.
Until a bullet tore through his armor, like a domino effect, his body was quickly riddled with bullet holes until the heavy machine gun shredded his upper body to pieces.
As for Mercer—he seized the opportunity to dive.
While V was trying to deal with a Centaur at close range, Mercer shouted, "Move!"
V responded extremely quickly, deftly weaving through the hail of bullets. She could even see the bullets in mid-air, using the Mantis Blade to chop away at some unavoidable barrages.
A regular soldier, forget about attacking her—stopping her would be a dream. When Mercer came crashing down like a meteor, the brutal ambush had reached its end.
Mercer spread his hands, and blue light burst from his palms. The gravitational device emitted a circular gravity wave. The soldiers equipped with Centaur exoskeletons didn't have time to scream before being crushed by gravity.
A circular cracked pit appeared on the ground. The soldier appeared relatively intact externally, but his internal organs were utterly crushed. It was only the sturdy bulletproof vest and exoskeleton that kept him from turning into mush.
Then Mercer spread his arms, rose into the air, and touched down on the hood of a Behemoth. He aimed at the Behemoth, which was attempting to crash through and escape, and activated his gravity again.
With precise control, the gravity field only hit the cockpit, but it still smashed the Behemoth's head onto the ground, causing the entire vehicle to tilt.
Mercer quickly stopped: "V, it's up to you now!"
Precision instruments are prone to problems even with slight bumps—he couldn't get replacement parts to repair them.
V immediately began to inspect the Behemoth cars one by one, clearing out the soldiers hiding inside, too scared to come out.
Meanwhile, Mercer leisurely cleaned up the battlefield, dispatching shots to any breathing enemies.
This ambush was even faster than dealing with another group of mercenaries. It's undeniable that in modern warfare, such calculated advantage results in excessively brutal scenes.
Once it was confirmed there were no survivors, Mercer immediately sent a message to Pan'an.
[Mercer: Time to collect the goods.]
[Pan'an: Got it, coming back soon. Wow... what a scene!]
Mercer didn't reply right away but turned to check on Rebecca and Mann: "You two okay?"
He'd seen soldiers aiming their guns back at them just now.
"I'm fine! I'm doing great!" Rebecca said with a smile, raising her gun. Mercer took a closer look. Though her clothes had two tears, she only had superficial scratches on her skin.
Regular firearms can't do much against Rebecca's advanced subcutaneous nanomaterial armor and bulletproof vest.
