Chapter 29 Attack on the Grain Depot? Surrounded by Strange Beasts!
Late at night, on the outskirts of City C.
A convoy of more than a dozen heavy trucks is traveling on a deserted highway.
The convoy was escorted by two armored vehicles at the head and tail.
The searchlight on the roof of the vehicle, like a sharp sword, pierced the darkness and warily scanned the surrounding ruins.
This is the supply transport line of the Dragon Kingdom that Xiao Fan planned to ambush.
On the rooftop of an abandoned factory not far from the highway, Xiao Fan, draped in a black cloak, stood like a statue.
Golden eyes gleamed with a chilling killing intent in the night.
Behind him, nearly a hundred elite members of the Avengers—the Flame Guardians—sneaked silently in the shadows, each exuding a fierce and bloodthirsty aura.
"Boss, the target has entered the ambush zone," an adjutant reported in a low voice.
"Um."
Xiao Fan nodded and raised his right hand.
Just as he was about to give the order to attack.
His brows furrowed suddenly without warning.
Not right.
Everything went too smoothly.
Given that "ghost's" elusive intelligence capabilities, it's impossible that he didn't know about my actions.
But why is it that the defenses along this supply line are exactly the same as the intelligence he received, with not even a single extra soldier?
This doesn't seem like the style of that "ghost".
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Having been a powerful ruler in his previous life, Xiao Fan possessed immense combat experience. He instantly sensed a conspiracy.
"etc!"
He suddenly pressed his hand down.
"Plans changed! Everyone, abandon the attack and retreat immediately!"
"Boss?" The adjutant was stunned. "Why? We..."
"Execute the order!" Xiao Fan's voice was devoid of emotion, yet filled with unquestionable authority.
Although he didn't know where the problem lay, he would rather abandon the operation than step into a trap that the enemy might have set.
However, just as they were preparing to retreat...
boom--!!!
A deafening roar suddenly came from another direction in the city!
The towering flames dyed half the night sky red!
Xiao Fan turned his head sharply, looking in the direction from which the explosion came, his pupils suddenly contracting.
That direction is...
No. 3 Strategic Grain Reserve!
……
Meanwhile, at the "Spark Project" command center.
Su Chen was leisurely sitting in his "chief consultant" seat, drinking tea and watching the barrage of comments refreshing in front of him.
[Holy crap! What's going on? Why did the boss suddenly order a retreat?]
【I don't know! They're about to start, it's so damn frustrating!】
"This Xiao Fan is quite alert." Su Chen was completely unfazed, and even felt a little amused.
He had long anticipated that, given Xiao Fan's caution, a simple trap could not possibly fool him.
Therefore, what he prepared tonight was not a trap at all.
It's a multiple-choice question.
"Qin Bing".
"exist!"
"Order the action team in City C to begin operations."
"yes!"
……
City C, No. 3 Strategic Grain Reserve.
This is the largest grain reserve base in the central region of China.
The enormous cylindrical warehouses, resembling small mountains, contain enough food to feed millions of survivors in City C and the surrounding area for a year.
At this moment, underground in the granary, inside a huge alloy pipe.
Xiao Fan's other force, his true elite troops, are quietly lying in wait here.
Leading the team was his most trusted general, "Earth Dragon" Wang Hao, who had awakened an A-level earth-type ability.
That's right, his target tonight wasn't that transport line at all!
The transportation line is just a front!
A smoke bomb to attract the attention of the "ghost"!
His real purpose was this strategic grain depot, which was more heavily defended and of even greater value!
His "Avengers" forces have expanded too quickly, and a serious food crisis has emerged.
As long as he takes this place, he can rest easy for the next year or two!
"The boss has drawn the enemy's attention; now it's our turn!"
Wang Hao, nicknamed "Earth Dragon," grinned maliciously, placing his hands on the half-meter-thick alloy gate in front of him, his entire body glowing with an earthy yellow light.
"Open it!"
Rumbling--
The alloy gate, which was strong enough to withstand missile attacks, began to slowly deform and melt under his supernatural power!
Just as a large hole was melted open in the gate, and they were preparing to launch a surprise attack.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Hundreds of silvery-white metal cans were suddenly thrown in like raindrops from the ventilation ducts pre-installed above their heads!
"Oh no! It's poison gas!"
Wang Hao's expression changed drastically.
But it was too late.
laugh--
Thick, pungent smoke instantly filled the entire pipe.
That wasn't ordinary poison gas, but a nerve-paralyzing agent specifically designed for people with superpowers.
While not fatal upon inhalation, it will temporarily sluggish the energy flow within the superhuman's body, significantly reducing their strength.
"Cough cough... Damn it! We've been ambushed!"
"Quick! Get out of there!"
Wang Hao was both shocked and furious. He couldn't understand how such a secret plan could have been leaked!
Despite his physical discomfort, he burned a path through the pipe with flames and was the first to lead his people out.
However, the moment they rushed out of the pipe and breathed in the fresh air, everyone was stunned by what they saw.
Outside the granary, on the open ground, there were no large numbers of Chinese soldiers as they had imagined.
Instead, there was a vast, dark mass of... strange beasts!
Countless scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness, radiating a greedy and bloodthirsty light.
All sorts of strange and unusual beasts surrounded the entire granary, making it impossible to pass through.
The roars rose and fell, merging into a terrifying sound wave that made the earth tremble.
"What... what the hell is going on?" Wang Hao was completely dumbfounded.
Where are the people of the Dragon Kingdom?
Why are there so many strange beasts here?
He had no idea that Su Chen had already had a large amount of exotic beast blood used to smear the entire outer wall of the granary.
For creatures with a keen sense of smell, this place is a veritable feast!
"roar--!"
A Tier 3 armored bull was the first to discover Wang Hao and his group of "uninvited guests".
It let out a roar, took off with all four hooves, and charged forward with tremendous force!
"Prepare for the enemy! Quickly prepare for the enemy!"
Wang Hao screamed in terror.
A chaotic battle erupted instantly!
Xiao Fan's elite troops, whose strength was greatly reduced after inhaling nerve agents, were instantly overwhelmed by this sudden and endless beast tide!
From a high-rise building in the distance, Xiao Fan could see everything clearly through his binoculars.
His face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.
He got it.
He understood completely.
From the very beginning, the "ghost's" target was neither his feint attack force nor his main force.
That "ghost" had no intention of confronting him directly.
It was just a trap, an open scheme.
The enemy used the granary as bait, accurately predicting my feint attack.
Then, instead of sending a single soldier to defend, they borrowed another weapon—a strange beast!
The other side is trying to force their people to fight these endless monsters to the death! To a point where both sides are severely damaged!
Meanwhile, the Dragon Kingdom can sit back and watch the tigers fight!
They neutralized his offensive effortlessly, while simultaneously severely damaging his own manpower!
"puff--!"
Xiao Fan could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood!
"ghost--!!!"
He looked up at the sky and let out a roar filled with endless anger and frustration!
He lost this round again.
A complete and utter defeat!
In the end, after paying a heavy price of nearly a third of his elite troops, Wang Hao led his remaining forces and fought his way out of the beast tide.
They didn't even manage to grab a single grain of rice.
The news reached the Avengers' base and caused a huge shock.
Some voices that were already dissatisfied with Xiao Fan began to quietly rise up in the shadows.
For the first time, Xiao Fan's prestige was seriously challenged.
