As the company guard squad fired back fiercely, the radio operator inside the car was shouting at the radio equipment, “Headquarters, this is Project Transport Team NF1903. We’re under attack at the midpoint of Desert Stone Road T61, requesting backup! Repeat, requesting backup!”

After the operator finished shouting, there was no response on the radio, only static.

He cursed under his breath, then yelled to the guards outside the window, “There’s an electromagnetic jamming device nearby, communications are cut off! These people came prepared!”

The guard soldier swore, “It must be those damned mercenaries again! When we get back to headquarters, they’re getting flipped upside down!”

“Too bad you wont get that chance.” A cold voice suddenly broke in.

Ou Chenyu had somehow broken through the firing line, charging straight into the formation, delivering a thunderous whip kick to the guard soldier’s head.

“Boom!!!” The immense power shattered the guard soldier’s skull directly, blood misting the air, the whole man flew away and fell to the ground, lifeless.

The surrounding soldiers reacted quickly, immediately aiming their guns at Ou Chenyu.

Bullets were useless against the cybernetically enhanced Ou Chenyu; he weaved through the bullet storm, untouched, like a Death God calling names as he swiftly took the lives of three guards in no time.

The Scorpion APC recognized the imminent threat, its gun turret spinning to aim at Ou Chenyu, the fire control system locked firmly on him.

However, before the gun turret could fire, Ou Chenyu had already drawn the Fire Lizard Laser Combat Knife, charging forward like lightning, the high-temperature plasma blade slicing rapidly along the vehicle.

“Szzz—” Sparks scattered where the blade passed, leaving a glowing red scorch mark from the vehicle’s front to its rear cross-section.

“Boom!!!” The fuel tank burned fiercely after the high-temperature intrusion, immediately followed by a detonation, the front half of the vehicle shot skyward, crashing heavily to the ground seconds later, becoming a burning wreck.

The driver, engulfed in flames, crawled out of the wreckage, screaming in agony.

Ou Chenyu sneered coldly, intentionally leaving him to burn alive.

Ou Chenyu continued his assault, wielding the Fire Lizard Laser Combat Knife in a three-strike combo, demolishing the remaining three Scorpion APCs.

With the armored vehicles at the corners gone, the guard squad’s defense line immediately collapsed, and the Tiger Fang Mercenaries, charging from the Gobi to the highway, began their fierce assault).

They were the elite members of their corps, accustomed to the lives of licking blood from the blade, and now they aimed to perform well in this battle for a chance of receiving cybernetic enhancements from their leader, fighting fearlessly.

However, the soldiers involved in armed escort were professional operatives trained by Hegemony Company, some of whom were also Blood Code Carriers, fighting with valor, showing no retreat despite the breach in the defensive line.

Both sides exchanged gunfire intensely, with people falling one after another.

Ou Chenyu was also besieged by several high-level Blood Code Carriers, temporarily unable to assist others.

As the battle reached an impasse, the transport vehicles in the convoy center began turning around, dispersing in all directions.

Ou Chenyu grew anxious at the sight, quickly dispatching a Blood Code Carrier, shouting to his subordinates, “Chase them! Don’t let them escape the signal jamming area!”

Just after shouting, two more Blood Code Carriers attacked him, making it difficult for him to break away.

At the critical moment, Deputy Captain Gao Hai stepped forward, leading several combat teams to break through the encirclement, seizing tactical motorcycles from both sides of the convoy.

Gao Hai shouted to Ou Chenyu, “Captain, focus on the battle here, we’ll chase those transport vehicles!”

With that, he led his men, revving the motorcycle engines, to pursue the escaping transport vehicles in all directions.

…

On the other side of the Gobi, Su Mo held a Tsunami Assault Rifle equipped with a flame suppressor, the muzzle gently smoking.

Everything was proceeding as planned.

According to the original plot, Ou Chenyu encountered little resistance in this interception mission.

His minefield setup was excellent, leaving less than ten percent of Hegemony Company’s guards intact, allowing him to quickly eliminate them, seize the goods, and flee.

But earlier, Su Mo’s sniper shot forced Hegemony Company’s convoy to halt outside the minefield, preventing severe casualties.

This directly disrupted the mission’s original development, forcing the Tiger Fang Mercenary Corps into a direct firefight with the guard, creating chaos.

Meanwhile, Su Mo, using the “Electronic Warfare Unit,” stayed hidden, evading detection by the Scorpion APC’s fire control system.

His plan was straightforward.

Open fire to cause chaos, inciting the mercenaries and company guards to kill each other.

The defenseless transport vehicles would inevitably attempt to break out and escape.

Catch up to Transport Vehicle No. 9 carrying the mission items, seize the items, then flee.

That’s all, it’s that simple.

The simpler the plan, the better.

Those so-called elaborate, intricate plans often have the most loopholes.

Su Mo watched the battle, awaiting the next opportunity.

Soon, the transport vehicles indeed began changing directions, scattering as they attempted escape.

Su Mo locked his gaze on the “No. 9 Vehicle” originally at the convoy’s end, quickly descending the Gobi from the other side, mounting a motorcycle parked there, chasing in its fleeing direction.

With the motorcycle’s superior off-road performance over the cargo-laden transport vehicle, he closed the distance swiftly.

Su Mo brought his motorcycle parallel to the driver’s cab, raising his gun to aim at the driver, shouting, “Stop! Or I’ll blow your head off!”

The driver was terrified, panicking, “I’ll stop! I’ll stop! Don’t shoot!”

The transport vehicle halted.

Su Mo dismounted, yanking the door open.

The driver raised his hands above his head, pleading in fear, “Brother, I’m just a driver! I don’t even have a traffic violation record! Take whatever goods you want, just don’t kill me!”

Before Su Mo could respond, the in-car radio equipment suddenly activated.

First came indistinct static, gradually turning into clearer voices, “NF1903 Transport Team, do you read? Respond if you hear this! … Damn, no response, get me the Crisis Management Center!”

Su Mo’s eyes glinted sharply, pressing the gun to the driver’s forehead, motioning towards the radio equipment.

The driver dared not make any rash moves, answering the communication, “NF1903, received.”

Radio: “NF1903, what’s going on? Why aren’t you responding.”

The driver gulped nervously.

Su Mo applied slight pressure, pressing the gun barrel even tighter, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

The driver could only feign calmness, “The signal is frequently poor this far from the city on this road. I just heard.”

Radio: “Oh, got it, everything okay on the road?”

Driver: “All’s well, no issues.”

Radio: “Alright, come back early for dinner.”

The driver was about to say something when Su Mo suddenly pressed harder with the gun.

Su Mo’s face was cold, first shaking his head.

Then, he mimicked a drinking gesture.

The driver’s eyes grew vacant.

This guy…how does he know their safety code?!

Resigned, the driver closed his eyes, speaking into the communicator, “I’ll skip dinner, going for a drink later.”

It was clear that the voice over the radio became more relaxed: “Okay, contact me anytime for anything.”

The communication ended.

Su Mo moved the gun barrel away: “Get down.”

The driver obediently complied.

Su Mo cut the seatbelt with a knife, tying the driver to the ground, “Stay down, don’t move.”

The driver, trembling, asked, “Why are you wearing Anti-Violence Fourth Section uniforms?”

Su Mo snorted, “Stolen, got a problem?”

Driver: “No, no problem… brother, who are you guys?”

He regretted asking immediately; asking too many questions would get him killed!

Unexpectedly, Su Mo didn’t give him trouble. Instead, he glared and said heavily, “Listen! A real man stands by his name, I am the captain of Tiger Fang Mercenary Corps, Ou! Chenyu!”
