816 Madgascar (1/2)
Woosh!
Homing noises echoed through the silent night.
The rockets slammed into the steel armor and sparks flew out from the other side of the ASV-150 light armored vehicle. The glaring flames lifted the turret into the air. The mercenaries who were on the side of the armored vehicle were blown to the bushes on the road and fled to seek shelter.
Because the steel armor itself resembled an imperfect ”Faraday cage,” it had a strong resistance to the electric field passing through it. The broad range of strategic EMP merely paralyzed the communication stations hanging outside the carriages. It did not burn the electronic components inside the armored vehicle.
However, while it escaped the first time, luck was not with it the second time.
The Sea Lion Special Forces dashed through the night were like ghosts based on the optical illusion modules mounted on the K2 kinetic skeleton. They haunted the smoke-filled battlefield. The Arrow mercenaries could only fight back reactively, and all unprotected electronic devices were fried, including night-vision goggles and infrared sights.
At the same time, Arrow's headquarters in Mayotte Military Base also turned into chaos.
Attacks first came from the north side and then appeared on the west. However, they did not even know how many enemies there were! Due to radio failure, their two infantry squads fought against each other in the streets outside the slums.
”This is Mayotte Military Base. This is Mayotte Military Base. We are being attacked! I repeat! We are being attacked! Dam*it!” Colonel Mangala slammed the phone on the desk, grabbed the rifle next the table, and then rushed out of the door.
The fire was blazing in the base, and the sound of gunfire was approaching the barracks of the military base. It was no longer a safe place to stay. He had to evacuate!Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
If he could evacuate...
Just ten minutes ago, a ”thunderstorm” boomed over Mayotte Island.
Followed by a large-scale power outage.
Not just a massive power outage, mobile phones, computers, walkie-talkies... All electronic products lost their functionalities.
The traffic system completely collapsed, and cars with malfunctioning brakes slammed into each other. All the vehicles on the road became scrap metal, and all functions were lost except for windows and door. Due to the large scale of short circuits, a fire began to spread in many areas with fire hazards.
An EMP bomb turned the entire island back to the Stone Age.
Although before the bomb arrived, the island half the size of Wanghai was not advanced by any means.
Team B was engaged in battle, and Team A just encountered enemies at the dock!
At the second of the EMP's explosion, all the light bulbs in the slums were destroyed, and the entire dock turned into darkness. The freighter was also within the EMP strike range, and the lights on the deck suddenly went out. However, other than a moment of delay on the kinetic skeleton of the soldiers, there were no other interferences.
It was Jiang Chen who took the first shot and killed Andre who was standing next to Zaid. After receiving the attack signal, the Marines disguised as pirates immediately lifted their AK47s and opened fire. After emptying the cartridges, they tossed the AK aside and took the Reaper Assault Rifle on hand to continue firing.
Several pirates at the dock were killed on the spot. Refugees in the slums screamed and ran in fear. Arrow's people crouched behind walls and houses while returning fire at the freighter.
Some of them were mercenaries of Arrow, some were contractors employed by the company, and some were local gangs with connections to them.
Bullets flew through the pitch dark dock. Although Arrow had an advantage in numbers, their accuracies and tactics were terrible. They were no match to the Celestial Marines, who had just completed their joint military exercise.
The only thing that caused trouble for Jiang Chen was just a few RPGs that directly hit the cabin. However, it would be naïve to think that a few RPGs would sink the thousand-ton ship.
The drones were released and the soldiers behind the wall were obliterated.
Marines tore down the robes outside of the kinetic skeleton, jumped to the dock, fired while running, and penetrated to the interior of the slums.
”Anyone with weapons will be killed! I repeat! Anyone with weapons will be killed!” Marines Captain Cramer shouted into the communication channel, and at the same time directed soldiers to separate into three teams to attack the stronghold of Arrow in the slums.
Jiang Chen did not personally go into battle. After the first shot was fired, he sat on the side of the ship and looked into the blazing slum. He was a spectator in the battlefield. Ayesha was with him. The sea breeze swayed her hair while she quietly stood there.
Zaid cautiously climbed up from the deck and wiped the sweat and blood off of his face, He then squeezed out a smile.
”Where, where are you going to drop me off?”
”Here, but before that, I need you to do one last thing for me.” Jiang Chen smiled.
From Jiang Chen's smile, Zaid felt a hint of anxiousness, but he couldn't tell what disturbed him because after all, the smile was peaceful.
The gunshots in the slums gradually subsided. From the sporadic gunshots and resistance, it was possible to hear Arrow's demise.
