Chapter 1402 - Who Are The Invaders (2/2)
Their opponent seemed to approve their surrender, and they heard footsteps from down the tunnel.
When Gerrard saw the power armor, his pupils constricted slightly.
If he was only skeptical at the beginning, he was 100% certain that this was the legendary X-1 power armor, and the final design model completed by NAC designers.
“Are you the little mouse hiding in the back and making trouble?” Jiang Chen grinned as he looked at the three people with their hands raised above their heads. He set the drones to surround the three people and put the rifle on his shoulder, then he raised his chin up while he looked at Gerrard, “What’s your name.”
“Gerrard,” Gerrard’s eyes moved, “You set the bomb on Gris?”
“Yes,” Jiang Chen smiled nonchalantly, “The bottle caps inside were real, but the box was stuffed with explosives. This thing seemed to be called a cap explosive, and I learned it from those mercenaries.”
Not long after Gris entered the theatre, he estimated the time before he pressed the detonation button. However, he didn’t expect these people would wear kinetic skeletons. This “human bomb” only killed himself, and none of the others were injured. The lethality of this weapon simply made Jiang Chen speechless.
Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then looked at Gerrard before he continued, “From your equipment, you shouldn’t belong to any forces on the West Coast. I’m curious how we provoked you.”
“Your existence is a hidden danger,” Gerrard stared at Jiang Chen with gloom on his face, and said word by word, “It doesn’t matter if anyone else rules the West Coast. We will eventually correct their mistakes and bring them to the right path. And you, in our eyes, are a group of invaders!”
“The invaders? In other words, are you loyal to NATO? Or a certain NATO-affiliated force?” Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and laughed, “But speaking of being the invader, if I remember correctly, you started the war first.”
Whether the discarded pre-war newspapers or the virtual reality program in Fallout Shelter 005 all clearly depict the day when World War Three broke out. The naval battle between Bohai aircraft carrier and Obama aircraft carrier in the East China Sea directly pushed the conflict between the two sides to the brink of no return. Afterward, the God’s Cane shattered Wanghai’s Holy Shield and the orbital airborne troops’ landing fully demonstrated the fact that Pan-Asia Cooperation was on the defensive side from the very start.
But it was pointless to discuss this now. The war had ended twenty years ago, and the world government had been gone for more than a decade. Bathed in this afterglow full of radiation, it was pale and meaningless for anyone to claim to be the righteous ruler.
“It was you who used bloody means to suppress the revolutionaries in Singapore,” Jiang Chen didn’t expect Gerrard to retort immediately, “We have clearly warned you before, and you took our warnings as deaf ears.”
“Well, I’m not here to listen to your nonsense,” Jiang Chen said impatiently, then pointed his gun at Gerrard. “Now, turn around and go downstairs from the emergency exit tunnel behind you. I probably only need one or two prisoners. If anyone is here to plays tricks, I’ll just shoot.”
When Gerrard realized that Jiang Chen was not going to argue with him, it made him anxious. The reason why he spoke so much was to buy time, but the man in front of him clearly had no interest in this topic. This made him feel defeated and frustrated as if there was nothing he could do.
“You’ll be last,” Jiang Chen poked the muzzle against Gerrard’s back and looked at the other two soldiers, “You go first-”
But at this very moment, a violent engine roar tore through the air right outside of the window
The screaming bullets rained down and shredded the drones outside to pieces.
A fighter with a streamlined fuselage flexibly flipped the movable tail and pointed its ignited engine downward. At the same time, the two wings on both sides of the fuselage changed their shape to a position that allowed for horizontal hovering and steadily hovered over the window on the third floor.
Jiang Chen was surprised for a second, then he gazed out the window.
When he saw the dark gun turret, his pupils constricted…
