Embers Ad Infinitum

Armed with the garrison patrol routes, drone surveillance patterns and the terrain around Chuchun Town provided by his "friends", Yas led the "Vulture" bandit group from a road with relatively more cover, driving an armored vehicle and towing an artillery piece. , quietly touched near the target location.

At this time, the moon was hanging high and its light was shining down, giving the earth where black and green danced together a silvery glow.

Chuchun Town stands next to a stream flowing down a hill. It is suspected to have been transformed from a large farm left over from the old world. However, the fence has been replaced by a stone strip, and there are many more buildings inside, all of which are relatively simple.

The defenders of the "Primary City" were divided into four parts, one part inside the town, one part at the main entrance, one part at the rear exit, and one part a few hundred meters outside the town.

They didn't all get together to avoid being eaten up in one fell swoop.

Through the binoculars, Yas examined the khaki armored vehicles and tanks of the same color blocking the door, smiled and said to several confidants:

"It's exactly as described in the intelligence. The equipment is okay, but there is no morale. Everyone is homesick and slack.

"As long as this 'business' is completed, our firepower will be ranked first among all the bandit groups in the wasteland. Only then will we have the confidence to recruit some people with special abilities."

One of Yas's confidants said hesitantly:

"Boss, this will anger the Prime City and trigger their crazy revenge."

Although he also believed that this was a rare opportunity, he always felt that it would be a big deal.

"It's not like they haven't organized an army to encircle us for so many years? But the wasteland is so vast and ruins are everywhere. As long as we are more careful and hide better, we don't have to worry too much about this matter. Could it be that the 'Primary City' Will a legion be sent to search for us in the wasteland on a yearly basis? If this is the case, we can go north and stay in the sphere of influence of the 'White Knights' for a while." Yas answered with considerable confidence.

His confidants no longer had any objections, and according to the leader's instructions, he organized his bandits into different groups to undertake corresponding tasks.

After everything was ready, Yas used the binoculars to take a look at Chuchun Town, where only a few pairs of soldiers were patrolling.

He raised his right hand and swung it down:

"Artillery team, attack!"

The artillery pieces towed by tractors entered the preset positions.

They were divided into two groups, one group fired at the garrison camp a few hundred meters outside the town, and the other group targeted the enemy at the main entrance of Chuchun Town.

Boom! Boom!

On a moonlit night, flames emerged one after another, and the sound of cannons continued.

Cannonballs were launched one after another, covering two target areas.

Smoke and dust rose, air waves rolled, and the successive explosions made the earth begin to tremble.

"The armored vehicles are ahead, guys, charge!" After catching the Chuchun garrison off guard, Yas gave the second order decisively.

The armored vehicle of the "Vulture" bandit group drove out, and with the cover of anti-tank guns, they rushed to the entrance of Chuchun Town. The rest of the people either drove or trotted behind them in steps.

Amidst the roaring explosions and banging gunshots, the "prime city" army, which had indeed slacked off, became confused and was unable to organize an effective counterattack in a short period of time.

Seeing the town in sight, Yas believed more and more in the intelligence provided by his friends, and no longer had any doubts about the weakness of the defenders here.

Just when the gunfire subsided, music suddenly sounded in Chuchun Town.

Its melody has a strong sense of rhythm, and combined with the passionate singing, it makes people want to dance involuntarily.

This was not an illusion. Yas, the leader of the "Vulture" bandit group sitting in the armored vehicle, could not control himself and twisted his waist.

While he was stunned and confused, he subconsciously looked around.

He saw the driver of the armored vehicle stand up, raise his hands, and shake wildly, completely ignoring the state of the vehicle.

Go, go, go

Ale, ale, ale (Note 1)

In the passionate and unrestrained singing, the members of the "Vulture" bandit group either raised their guns, or stopped in place, or kept pushing their hips, or waving their hands, all moving their bodies in accordance with the rhythm.

Suddenly, the sound of artillery subsided, the gunfire stopped, and the black battlefield outside Chuchun Town turned into a cheerful and fiery square.

The defenders of Chuchun Town were not affected. They seized this opportunity, reorganized their teams, and launched a counterattack.

Da da da da, the heavy machine gun fire was like a sickle harvesting autumn wheat, causing the bandits to fall one by one.

Boom! Boom!

Two khaki tanks fired shells while crushing them outward.

The blood and pain made many bandits wake up. They couldn't believe that they and others actually attacked the army of "Prime City" head-on!

The same is true for Yas, who feels that his mind has been blinded by the devil, and he has only returned to normal now.

How can a group of bandits compete with the regular army in the "Primary City"?

Moreover, the opponent is fully equipped and is not a defeated army alone!

Covered by ferocious firepower, Yas and others tried to escape, but they were still affected by the fiery singing and could not do their best. They could only twist and shake while using weapons to fight back.

This is definitely not accurate.

…………

"The 'Vulture' bandit group is over..." Jiang Baimian sighed with a telescope on the top of the hill.

Although she knew that the "Vulture" bandit group could not succeed and would eventually suffer a tragic defeat, she did not expect that they would lose so quickly and so easily.

However, the purpose of the "Old Tune Team" was achieved. They tested out the existence of awakened people at the "soul corridor" level in Chuchun Town.

The role that such a strong man can play in a similar battlefield is beyond imagination!

Of course, Jiang Baimian was not too surprised by this. After using Wu Meng's recording to easily "win the trust" of so many people in the "Vulture" bandit group, she knew how powerful the awakened ones at the "soul corridor" level were at dealing with ordinary people. The horrors explored to the depths are even more unimaginable.

This is not something that Dimarco and Tarnan's "higher careless" who are not in perfect condition can compare with.

"What a pity..." Shang Jianyao echoed Jiang Baimian's words while twisting his waist and hips to follow the rhythm.

There was no disappointment in his expression, his face was full of yearning.

Although he couldn't hear clearly what the music coming from Chuchun Town was from such a distance, the dance of the members of the "Vulture" bandit group allowed him to reverse the beat.

"Retreat first to avoid being discovered." Jiang Baimian put down the telescope.

Except for Shang Jianyao, no one had any objections to this proposal.

They all witnessed what happened to the "Vulture" bandit group, and were full of fear of the strong man who did not show up.

Of course, the "old tune team" still has some things to do before withdrawing.

Jiang Baimian turned his attention to Bai Chen, Han Wanghuo and Gennava, and nodded to them.

Bai Chen, who had set up the "Orange" rifle, had already put his eyes behind the scope, and the muzzle of the gun had been following a certain figure.

Finally, she saw her chance.

A bullet flew out from the muzzle of the gun, crossed Chuchun Town, came to the door of one of the armored vehicles of the "Vulture" bandit group, and penetrated into Yas's head.

With a bang, the head of the bandit leader, who had finally overcome the urge to dance and escaped from the out-of-control armored vehicle, exploded into a ball of bloody fireworks.

Almost at the same time, Han Wanghuo and Gnawa also completed long-range sniping.

In the banging movement, two of Yas's henchmen fell down.

These are all people who have had face-to-face interactions with Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao before. They can describe their general appearance. At the same time, these people must also have the scene at that time in their memories.

As for the other robbers, in the dark rainy night, relying on torches as the main flashlight and supplemented by lighting, it was almost impossible to see clearly the faces of Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian from a distance.

As several "witnesses" were eliminated, the "Old Media Group" and Han Wanghuo followed Zeng Duo down the hills from a relatively hidden road, returned to their car, and headed to the ruins of a small town in the distance.

Behind them, the sound of gunfire continued for a while.

…………

Many houses are in the ruins of the collapsed town, including the original police station.

Jiang Baimian looked around and said:

“Two points can be confirmed at present:

“First, there are awakened people at the ‘Soul Corridor’ level in the regular army of the ‘First City’ in Chuchun Town;

"Two, one of his abilities is to make a large number of targets dance to music."

"Why isn't it a problem with the music itself?" Long Yuehong asked subconsciously.

Wu Meng and Xiao Chong's recordings prove this possibility.

Shang Jianyao smiled:

"None of the soldiers from the First City participated in the group dance."

Also... Long Yuehong agreed with this reason.

Every time the "Old Tune Group" uses Wu Meng's recording, they have to block their ears in advance.

The attack just now came suddenly, and the soldiers of "First City" were obviously in chaos. Even the counterattacks were scattered, and they definitely didn't have time to stop their ears.

"Which field will this be in?" Han Wanghuo asked after careful consideration.

During this period, he and Zeng Duo gained a lot of "common sense" among the awakened people from Xue Shiyue's team.

Shang Jianyao answered without hesitation:

"'The Searing Gate'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he twitched his body and danced like he was being burned.
