Chapter 844 Those Who Understand Current Affairs

Spant stood there frozen, not knowing whether he should get in the car and run away, or call the armed men present to come over.

After a brief moment of sluggishness, his mind told him that given the road conditions in the mountains, the maximum speed of his car stuck in this environment, and the corresponding difficulty of operation, unless he was willing to risk the extreme risk of rushing out of the mountain road and overturning under the cliff. Big risk, otherwise it's unlikely to outrun a human wearing a military-style exoskeleton.

Moreover, the opponent does not have to chase, but just standing there can use the aiming function of the military exoskeleton device and powerful equipment such as grenade launchers and laser weapons to cause a devastating blow to both the vehicle and itself from a distance.

As for the option of calling the armed men present to come over, Spante glanced at Gnawa who transformed into a large chameleon, and then silently ruled it out.

This intelligent robot put on the equipment so fast. He only froze for a few seconds and hesitated for a while before it was ready!

Faced with this kind of "fully armed" intelligent robot, it would be difficult for all the armed personnel present to break through its defense line in a short period of time, and they might even be pushed back by it.

And as long as it persists for thirty or forty seconds, its companions seem to be able to finish putting on the equipment.

By then, a "mere" few dozen people will not be able to make any waves.

Spant's thoughts turned over and over again, but he could never make up his mind.

The "Old Tune Team" did not wait for him to make a choice, and put on the military exoskeleton device and the "Black Marsh Iron Snake" bionic smart armor.

Seeing that the team's eyes were all looking at him, Spant forced a smile and tried to show friendliness:

"You guys, why would you even think of taking on this mission?"

"Didn't you ask us for help?" Honest Shang Jianyao was very surprised.

Spante was speechless, and at the same time he felt like his eyes were sore.

He explained slightly stutteringly:

"No, that's not what I meant. I just want to ask, why do you value such two gold knight coins?"

"Two is a lot. Saving some money can last us a month." Jiang Baimian deliberately did not understand what Spant really wanted to ask.

Their high-performance batteries are fully charged, and then they only need to replenish the power consumed by the Gnawa and Jeep every day, thus reducing the electricity bill a lot.

Spant, who was holding a double-barreled shotgun, forced a smile and said:

"I just don't understand. With your strength, you would actually take a fancy to such a small task."

"What's wrong with the small task? It's simple, convenient, fast, and the pay is not particularly low. Why don't you take it?" the honest Shang Jianyao retorted.

Jiang Baimian cleared his throat and comforted Cheesepant:

“Don’t think of us as a team that likes to make big deals.

"We always abide by the laws or rules of each settlement, be honest, work diligently, and earn hard-earned money."

"..." Long Yuehong wanted to curse but couldn't find a way to start.

With your hard-earned money, you can't exchange for three military exoskeleton devices, two bionic smart armors, and one smart robot... It's such a luxury. Their team can even wear bionic smart armors on robots! Spant didn't dare to speak out what was in his heart.

He laughed along and said:

"I see.

"With you here, I will definitely be able to earn the bounty easily this time."

You can't say this casually... This is called setting a flag... Long Yuehong muttered in his heart.

In this regard, he has always been self-aware. He knows that with his team's glorious history of being able to cause three-point waves even if nothing happens, joining this task may not be a good thing for everyone.

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"No need to compliment us, Spencer, you are responsible for leading the way. Look to see if there are any dangerous people you know in the passing vehicles."

"No problem." Spante agreed hastily.

Jiang Baimian turned his head and looked at Gnawa:

"Lao Ge, you can take the Spanter car later."

"Okay." Gnawa knew that he had to take on the heavy responsibility of surveillance and reconnaissance.

Although Spant was unwilling, he still said with a smile.

"good."

The four carbon-based people from the "old tune team" immediately got into their own jeep. Bai Chen was responsible for driving, Jiang Baimian sat in the passenger seat, and Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were on the left and right in the back row.

Gnawa opened the passenger door of Spante's car and turned on the invisibility function of the "Chameleon" bionic smart armor.

Spant watched helplessly as a tall and terrifying robot disappeared in front of him, and his forehead couldn't help but jump.

Having already boarded the "thief ship", he could only force himself to calm down, return to the driving area, and put the rucksack on the armrest box.

Subconsciously, he stretched the double-barreled shotgun towards the passenger seat, wanting to leave it there as before.

When he realized that the seemingly empty passenger seat actually contained a robot, the double-barreled shotgun had been caught in the air and slowly put down.

"..." Spant couldn't describe his feelings in words.

Not long after, Sandro walked over, casually glanced at Spante's brown-green truck, and shouted in a deep voice:

"Are you ready?"

"Okay!" Spante wasn't sure whether his smile was stiff or not.

Sandro nodded:

"Okay, let's go, you drive at the front.

"You don't need me to tell you what I need you to do again, right?"

"No, no, no." Spante smiled and shook his head.

At this time, the twenty or thirty people belonging to the employer got into the vehicle filled with goods and two separate cars with bulletproof armor. The other three teams of relic hunters were also ready to go.

Spant cheered up, drove his car out of the parking lot, and headed back the way he came, with the Jeep from the "Old Tune Team" following closely behind.

Following them was another team of relic hunters, followed by loading vehicles that were started one after another. The dark car in which Sandro and others were sitting was mixed in the middle of the convoy.

At the end of the line are two other teams of relic hunters.

Everyone is familiar with the route, but in comparison, now we not only need to beware of enemies hiding in the dense forests, cliffs, and gorges on both sides, but we also have to be careful of every car that drives over.

They don't have the ability to block roads to prevent any vehicles from passing through, nor are they crazy enough to see one car hit another.

As a local relic hunter, every time Spant sees a car approaching, he will carefully identify who is driving it, who is in the car with him, what his strength is, and how he usually behaves.

Gennava brought his own telescope, information collection equipment and corresponding analysis modules to methodically determine whether the person in the opposite car was malicious based on his expression, lip language, body movements, etc.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao on the jeep behind were sensing their surroundings without relaxing at all.

In order to earn two big knight gold coins, they can be said to be very dedicated.

The team of ruin hunters following their car were equally cautious and did not let go of any disturbance.

A few minutes later, the person responsible for driving suddenly smiled and said:

"The team in front was very cautious. I saw that the two people sitting in the back row were wearing helmets."

"Bulletproof?" his companion asked curiously.

"Not sure." The ruin hunter, who could only see the backs of Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong's heads, shook his head.

They didn't pay much attention to it.

And in a hidden place in the distant mountains and forests, there are people No. 78 ambushing there.

There are two leaders, one is tall with blond hair and a burly build, with a rough face that has a bit of wild beauty. The other is thin with long black hair and extremely deep nasolabial folds. He is less than 1.75 meters tall. But his eyes were sharp, he was wearing dark-colored loose trousers, and he was putting one hand in his pocket.

At this time, the man who was so rough that he seemed to have the blood of an Iceman held a telescope and took advantage of the terrain to look at the convoy transporting goods from a distance.

He saw Spant first, then he grinned widely and laughed:

"There is only one person in the first car. Is this unlucky guy used as a bait?"

"It makes no sense. Our people can drive to the middle of the convoy and then launch an attack." The Honghe man with long black hair said coldly.

Then he urged:

"Ward, hurry up and confirm the situation. The vehicle team is still waiting for us to give the signal to drive towards the target."

Wald muttered something silently and observed the following cars.

The first thing that caught his eye was a man driving a car wearing a military-style exoskeleton.

"Oh! Look, what I saw!" Walder took away the telescope and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

He then brought the binoculars back to his face.

The next second, he discovered that not only the driver in the car was wearing a military exoskeleton device, but the passengers were also fully armed.

The co-pilot and the person sitting in the corresponding back seat are also wearing military exoskeleton devices, and the other one is wearing what seems to be a bionic smart armor.

Walder's eyes almost popped out of his head:

"Keessling, something is not right, very wrong!"

Keesling frowned and took the telescope, observing the situation of the convoy.

With Walder's prompting, he quickly found the problem, and his whole body fell silent.

"Where did they find such help?" Wald shouted uncontrollably.

Seeing the commotion among his companions, Keesling looked around and said:

"calm.

“It’s just a well-equipped team.

"They will indeed be very strong, but without the awakened ones, they still can't stop us."

Rugged Walder objected:

"Do you think a team with such good equipment will not have awakened ones? The child holding the treasure will not survive to go home!"

No one can be sure.

After a long silence, Keesling said in a low voice:

"retreat!"
