Chapter 58
Sweeping
"Ugh!! Ahhhhh!!"
Han Che picked up a bloody tooth from the ground, pinched it between his index finger and thumb, and held it up to the light to examine it carefully.
"There's no poison here. I thought everyone had a poison stuck in their molars to commit suicide these days."
Four people knelt in a neat row on one side of Han Che, with two prison guards standing behind each of them, twisting their arms behind their backs and lowering their heads to the ground.
There was a pool of blood and several bloody teeth on the ground in front of each person.
"Where are those three Bald Eagles now?"
"I really don't know, Warden, I'm not familiar with maps!"
"Yeah, yeah, we just came in to scavenge some trash, and we're already completely disoriented."
As Han Che had expected, figuring out the terrain of the Tide Prison would take a long time and require extensive map familiarization.
Before his rebirth, he had spent a lot of money to learn how to navigate every part of the prison.
Tell me what are some of the defining characteristics of your surroundings.
The four were silent for a moment, then a fat man said, "Before I came here, there was a river over there, and a large circular platform in the river. In the middle of the platform, it looked like a motor..."
Han Che immediately pinpointed the location: a water-powered canal.
"How long have you been out? What were they doing at that time?"
The chubby boy said with a worried look, "I had just come out a few minutes ago when an NPC... oh no, your prison guard broke my leg. At that time, the others were scavenging for supplies around here."
"I came through the corridor because I didn't think there were many things there."
"Please, Warden, don't let us get lost..."
Before the chubby boy could finish speaking, Han Che waved his hand, and four bullets pierced through the heads of four people at the same time.
"We don't have time to assign guards to watch these people alone," Han Che said to Shi Ding. "Let's go, all guards, advance towards the hydroelectric canal area."
"Be careful, they may have moved to another area. Maintain a high level of vigilance!"
Han Che and his personal guards were ambushed by the Bald Eagle Squad as they passed through the tide control room from their cells.
M14 bullets were fired from behind the water pumps of the tidal control system, striking the shield bearers' blast shields with a resounding thud.
The two shield bearers quickly retaliated with their submachine guns in the direction from which the bullets came, striking the armor of Bald Eagle and his men and sending sparks flying.
Han Che quickly crouched behind cover, with Ash-12 pressed against his shoulder.
Shi Lei was jolted back half a step by the sudden bullet, and Shi Ding immediately stepped in front of him, bringing their two shields together.
"Warden," Shi Lei's voice came from ahead, "we can't penetrate the armor of those three men."
"It's normal that we can't break through their defenses. You don't need to be responsible for attacking them. Hold up your shields!"
The three rifle guards, Lin Feng, Lin Rui, and Lin Kun, took turns looking for gaps in the enemy's fire and peeking out from behind their shields to counterattack.
Miles saw that the bullet had been fired by a prison guard and initially planned to take the hit while retaliating.
Because he had figured out that, unless the warden got close, the other guards shouldn't be able to break their armor.
Therefore, their tactics were somewhat unrestrained.
To their surprise, the bullets fired by the three guards who poked their heads out from behind the shield nearly punctured his chest armor.
The kinetic energy and burning sensation coming from his chest made him realize something was wrong, and he hurriedly retreated into cover.
"Something's not right! Those prison guards were using level 5 bullets!"
Miles' voice was transmitted to his two teammates via brain-computer interface.
"They should be ready. The terrain here is complicated. Let's go back and not give the warden a chance to get close!" John immediately commanded.
The Bald Eagles then began to retreat, moving from the tidal control area back towards the hydrodynamic canal.
The hydrodynamic canal has a relatively wide terrain and not many cover, so there is no fear of the warden quickly getting close.
Han Che noticed their movements and immediately led his personal guard forward.
"Flanking maneuver, move up." Han Che used the 100 million coins he received from opening the prison today, plus another 100 million coins from his prison account, for a total of 200 million Haver coins, to purchase a walkie-talkie for the entire prison.
This facilitates tactical coordination and prevents prison guards from acting in a disorganized manner, which would significantly reduce their combat effectiveness.
Then the two side gates on the side of the hydrodynamic channel opened simultaneously.
A dozen or so prison guards poured out from the two doors. The three men from Bald Eagle were still retreating in the main corridor while exchanging gunfire with the warden when they bumped into each other.
The prison guards all remembered the warden's personal instructions before this operation.
He leaped out from behind cover and fired, aiming only at the lower body.
The three bald eagles were caught off guard, and all of them had been shot in the legs.
The three of them set their aim assist to the highest setting and sprayed bullets at the prison guards that appeared behind them, but the guards kept lunging, sliding, and jumping around.
It was difficult to clean up quickly, while the warden's team was getting closer and closer.
"Damn it! Stop standing there like idiots! Come out and shoot! Shoot ...
Even with the brain-computer interface set to maximum emotional suppression, it still couldn't quell his anger.
Only then did the few scattered troops hidden in the hydroelectric canal grit their teeth and open fire from behind their bunkers.
It turned out that John had already arranged for the remaining five men to spread out and lie in ambush.
The three bald eagles had previously reached the tidal control zone to block the warden's advance, buying time for the five men.
They then retreated to the water-powered canal to lure the warden into the encirclement.
This would allow the warden to be attacked from both sides with minimal cost, and the relatively open waterway would greatly reduce the chances of him getting close.
In mid-to-long-range combat, the M14 rifles of the three members of the White Eagles team, combined with aim assist and wallhack capabilities, give them a greater advantage.
Who would have thought that the warden would arrange for prison guards to launch a sneak attack from the side?
And not a single one of these guys came to their aid!
John's angry shout finally provoked the group of foolish thugs to open fire and kill the prison guards.
The situation reversed again in an instant.
The prison guards, who had flanked from behind, slipped into the encirclement of the scattered men, who had no cover.
Moreover, the prison guards had no armor, and they fell down in droves instantly.
Just as John breathed a sigh of relief, an extremely heavy footstep, accompanied by the sound of some kind of machine accelerating, rang out from the side stairwell.
"What's that? Be on the flanks!" John warned his two teammates via telepathy.
The three White Eagle agents immediately blocked the doorway of the side corridor from which the sound came.
Then...
"Dazhuang! Sweep them all away!" Han Che shouted into the walkie-talkie.
"Da da da da da da da!"
A tall machine gunner in full heavy armor, wielding a Gatling gun, appeared from the doorway.
Flames sprayed out, and bullets swept over the heads of each player operator.
Two slow-reacting, unavoidable solo operators were instantly riddled with bullets.
Bullets grazed the various bunkers and walls, sparking and sending debris and dust billowing through the air.
The three bald eagles' pupils contracted sharply. What? There's a Hafk machine gunner here?
