I give the world destruction and new life

Chapter 118 The Backhand of the Skeleton Gang
"Three cars, five people, it doesn't look difficult to deal with." Jan Ismail observed Tang Ji and his party with binoculars at the highest point of the town.

He was one of the observation posts of the Skeleton Party, the largest criminal gang in the vicinity, and they almost monopolized the wasteland area from the west of Night City to the direction of the Great Rift Valley.

The predecessor of the Skeleton Party cannot be traced back. The earliest members were the residents left behind in these deserted towns, members of the Chaos Knife Society, and passing freight drivers.

Under the scouring of time, these people were finally united by the cruel law of the jungle, and they were more organized than the Chaos Knife Society.

There are nearly 400 core members of the Skull Party, who can be regarded as full-time professional soldiers.

They even restored an abandoned machining factory to transform their vehicles and process the looted cars by the way.

Most of the time, those vehicles that have been repainted and have various nameplates removed will be sold to nearby drivers in demand within the Skeleton Party, and there are small towns where people live nearby, and a few high-quality goods will be sold to places like Night City. big city.

Of course, the real big head is the goods. The Skeleton Party has formed a mature industrial chain, and they know which logistics companies cannot move their cars.

"It seems that four of them are security guards and are weakly armed. In order to ensure the safety of the goods, it is best to mobilize about 20 people and eight vehicles." Jain Ismail reported to his superiors on the phone: "I have sent photos of the vehicles Sent to the mailbox, they are very tight-lipped, don't know their destination."

"That's right, it's very appropriate to set up an ambush near the river mouth bridge, they have nowhere to escape." Jan Ismail laughed cruelly: "Let the hound knights treat them well, and they will naturally go in that direction .”

"This ghost place is even more desolate than the place we stayed in Persia last time." After recovering, Ethan leaned against the lead car and said to Tang Ji: "I heard that these abandoned town residents will loot Passengers, do you think that group of locals seem to be trying to trick us?"

Tang Ji followed Ethan's words, and the group of locals gave him a friendly middle finger.

"Enough rest, let's go and rest in the next town." Tang Ji patted the car door. According to the recommendation on the map, the current security level of this rest spot is bad, and it is not recommended for any group of less than ten people to spend the night here.

Tanguy didn't want to have a shootout with a group of farmers here, he just wanted to get to Baja California quickly and find the Snow Princess.

After returning to the road, Tang Ji replaced Anthony to drive. The assisted driving function can actually cope with most road environments, but he is the lead driver and must be careful of accidents.

The vehicles driven by Saints and Martin in the back can safely and boldly turn on the following system. As long as there is no accident on Tang Ji's side, they don't even need to touch the steering wheel.

"Sleep for a while? I'll work the night shift." Tang Ji adjusted the seat to a position that suits him, looked at the endless plain ahead, and adjusted the speed to the highest.
"Okay, I'll take over at four o'clock." Anthony responded, lay down on the co-pilot and closed his eyes, and fell asleep in just a few seconds. He was used to this fragmented rest time.

But obviously someone didn't want them to rest too well. An hour later, Tang Ji found a simple roadblock in front of the road, blocking a right-turning road.

While they're not going in that direction, it's clear someone is up to something.

"Attention, someone is watching us." Tang Ji issued an order on the communication channel and woke up Anthony at the same time.

"Trouble?" Anthony opened his eyes, looking as if he had never slept, and picked up his rifle from the back seat.

"Someone set up a roadblock at the intersection." Tang Ji frowned. He just passed another intersection blocked by a roadblock.

Whatever the intentions of those who set up the roadblocks, they are clearly heading in the direction they want.

"Is it a player?" Anthony put on his helmet, began to adjust the night vision goggles, and after hesitating, replaced his rifle with armor-piercing bullets.

Tang Ji's team members are indeed elite, but they have never experienced this before. These people used to fly to fight.

"Probably not. If it was a player, they would not use such a gentle method. They would probably send superhumans over and directly lift us off the roadbed." Tang Ji looked at the two headlights that suddenly lit up in the rearview mirror and felt that Things are starting to get interesting.

"So someone wants to rob us?" Anthony also saw the lights that suddenly appeared behind him, which were two motorcycles.

"Let's ask them directly." Tang Ji watched a rider approaching the convoy at high speed, but before he could make a move, Martin and Saints behind him completed a two-for-one cooperation, squeezing the motorcycle rider Died on the railing.

The knight on the other side immediately slowed down when he saw something bad, hanging far behind the convoy, switching the far and low beams from time to time, as if to report to his accomplices in the distance.

"It's quite boring." Anthony glanced at Tang Ji, then silently put the armor-piercing bullets back, and replaced them with ordinary bullets. After hesitating for a while, he took off his helmet again, as if he was thinking about whether he should lie back and sleep again. a while.

Fortunately, soon, more knights appeared around the convoy. They continued to jump over various obstacles on the wasteland outside the road as if showing off their skills, and fired shots in the direction of the convoy from time to time, trying to continue to create pressure on the driver.

Tangy turned on the night vision mode of the tactical goggles and held the steering wheel with one hand. As a result, Anthony's rifle was aimed at a knight riding a big red Brennan Apollo.

He is the one with the best driving skills among all the knights. When he climbed the dirt slope before, he even performed a difficult movement for Tang Ji to rotate 360 ​​in one body.

Tang Ji pressed down the car window, let the strong wind outside the car blow into the cab, put the muzzle of the gun on the car window, and waited for the other party to take off next time.

20 seconds later, the opportunity came, the knight jumped high, while Tang Ji pulled the trigger calmly, the bullet and the knight completed the intersection at the highest point.

The roar of cars and motorcycles drowned out the gunshots, and if it wasn't for the flash of muzzle flames, the riders wouldn't even realize that someone in the convoy had fired.

But then, the knight fell to the ground, and the whole person touched the ground at a speed of 180 miles, tapped several times in a row, and collapsed on the ground in a strange posture.

The rest of the knights immediately dispersed, leaving only three or four people following far behind the convoy.

Anthony also opened the car window and threw a spider mine outside. Ten seconds later, the spider mine sensed the knight passing by and exploded angrily, leaving a mess on the ground.

"Six of us died, and the hound riders didn't dare to chase them anymore." On a high ground near the highway, a modified off-road vehicle with an unrecognizable appearance was parked at the highest point.

The person who spoke had a prosthetic eye of Crossroads. At this time, the prosthetic eye had protruded three or four centimeters from the eye socket, and it moved with the movement of Tangy's convoy.

"Give up now? That's the medicine convoy, and many people in the gang can't wait long." Sitting in the driver's cab was a burly man, wearing only a sleeveless jacket at this time of year. Skull printed on the back.

"I just feel that they are too calm, head-to-head might lose a lot." The one-eyed man stared at the lead car, calculating the distance: "They are almost at the bridge, let's do it according to the plan, the Skeleton Party is not easy to mess with!"

Tang Ji also saw the bridge in front of him. From the map, it was a bridge with a length of five kilometers.

Anthony observed the bridge from a distance with binoculars. If someone wants to rob, this is undoubtedly the most ideal place.

The people on the bridge didn't even have a decent cover.

"These bastards chose a good place." Anthony laughed, but he was a little behind the times.

At the same time, Ethan has released the drone swarm to outflank and search for all possible enemies from both sides.

"There are twelve people on the bridge, and three camouflaged vehicles." Ethan quickly drew a map of the battlefield: "We are followed by four vehicles two kilometers behind us, and the motorcycle rider."

"Wow, what did I find?" Ethan's tone seemed to be unwrapping a Christmas present: "I found a large trebuchet behind the 600-meter slope on the north side of the bridge?"

The picture was immediately projected into the tactical goggles, and Tang Ji and the others saw a metal trebuchet at the same time.

Because of the angle, this trebuchet hidden behind a gentle slope will never be discovered by drivers on the road.

This ancient weapon, which seemed to have been taken out of an ancient movie, made the entire team silent for a while.

"At least we now know what method they plan to use to stop us on the bridge." Ethan zoomed in on the video, and there were still a large number of scrapped vehicles piled up around the trebuchet, and a crane was placing these cranes on the trebuchet.

Under the trebuchet, seventy or eighty people in ragged clothes and withered faces were howling and coordinating the trebuchet.

The "geniuses" in the skeleton party built this big guy based on an old movie. This thing can be fired twice within 3 minutes without damaging the bridge itself, blocking both ends of the bridge.

Each projectile can throw five car wrecks. They have practiced this trick countless times, and they will never miss it.

"Listen up, you slackers! We're lucky this time! The convoy on the bridge is full of good medicine from Paradise!" sign.

But he doesn't care, most addicts here will go this way, high to death is definitely the best way for this group of people to die.

"Blissful Paradise! Blissful Paradise!" This group of people broke out with 120% effort, almost crazy efforts to assist the construction machinery to complete the preparation work.

One of them was accidentally smashed in the head by a falling iron hook, but no one cared.

The Skeleton Party is not a charity, and only the fighters can eat, drink and have fun.

And these people are either small town residents who have nowhere to go, or unlucky ones who have been captured and no one pays the ransom.

"What should we do? I can try to destroy that catapult, but I can't guarantee the effect. It looks pretty solid." Ethan's drone circled the catapult in a big circle: "I I never thought in my life that one day I would meet such a retro enemy."

After getting Tang Ji's approval, the three attack drones controlled by Ethan fired micro-missiles at the trebuchet connection point, the crane cab, and the crowd respectively.

Along with the chaos and flames of the crowd, just as Ethan guessed, the trebuchet still stood there.

In retaliation, with the efforts of the crowd, the trebuchet slowly turned its angle, and then suddenly threw out its own "cannonball".

The car wreckage of Wutai, which had been dropped countless times, fell down on the right side of the convoy like a goddess scattering flowers.

Obviously, this group of operators is only specialized in blocking bridges, and cannot accurately hit the enemy with this ancient weapon.

"What should I do? Rush over? There are quite a few of them." Anthony looked at the bridge getting closer, and finally began to feel a little tricky.

That trebuchet gave the group of predators a great advantage.

Tang Ji didn't speak, but stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

Unless they were willing to abandon the convoy and walk off the road to raid the catapults, breaking in was the only feasible way.

These predators calculated their mentality and maximized their advantages.

"The prey has been hooked!" Seeing that Tang Ji's convoy had finally boarded the bridge, the two people who directed the entire operation on the top of the mountain finally smiled.

"Let Sirte go too, and add extra insurance, these people are too dangerous." The one-eyed man said to the current actual controller of the skeleton party.

Surte is the trump card of the Skeleton Party. He is the only superhuman controlled by the Skeleton Party, but fortunately, Surte is strong enough.

Of course, Sirte's being too strong is also a problem. His existence has already begun to affect the authority of the current leader of the Skeleton Party.

"Okay, let him go, but be careful, don't overturn all our goods, he caused us a lot of losses last time." The strong man hesitated for a moment, but still agreed with Cyclops' suggestion.

They need those medicines, whether they are common medicines or those addictive compounds, they lack them.

Soon, near the catapult, with the new order issued, a man who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, but with a strong heart in his bones, stood up.

It can be seen that his prestige is great. When he stood up, the coolies around cheered.

"God of War! God of War! God of War!" these people shouted, as long as you have seen Sirte fight once, you will completely surrender to this young man.

This is Surte, the superhuman of the Skull Party.

He stood on the wreckage of the car to be thrown by the next round of the trebuchet, raised his fist high, and was thrown out by the catapult together with the wreckage of the car amidst cheers!

Surte even had enough strength to jump back and forth among the scattered wreckage in the air, restraining the wreckage from being too scattered.

With a loud bang, all the wreckage fell on the bridge, forming a roadblock.

As for Soult, he was already one step ahead of the wreckage and landed firmly on the bridge.

He dragged the car wreckage with his bare hands, concentrating the wreckage and blocking the entire bridge.
