Chapter 195 Classic Highway Chase
In the black SUV in the middle of the convoy, Bottas and Mathieu, who were sitting in the back seat, looked at each other for a few times.
Then they all saw confusion, tension and uneasiness in each other's eyes.
Of course, for humans who have almost never seen Roma people in reality, it is still a bit nervous to be suddenly taken into the car by such a group of 'orcs'.
Not to mention two children.
In the driver's seat, Menton was driving the SUV carefully.
During the final month of training, all Roma were trained in vehicle driving.
Thanks to the convergence and intelligence of various vehicle driving systems, even these Roma people who have never driven a human vehicle quickly mastered driving skills under the dual training of simulator + real vehicle.
At the moment, Monton is following the formation requirements of the 'VIP escort convoy', closely following the SUV in front, constantly weaving in and out of the traffic flow.
Looking through the rearview mirror, he saw two overly nervous human children in the back seat.
The two children were also looking at him carefully through the rearview mirror.
Thinking of Boss telling them to be kind before they set off.
So Monton made a 'wink', intending to make the two children relax.
But obviously, he forgot how much impact a lion's head and grinning teeth would have on humans.
Bottas and Matthew in the back seat immediately did not dare to move any more. They sat stiffly on the chairs, not daring to breathe out, and their faces were full of fear.
"Forehead"
Menton scratched his head with one hand in embarrassment. With his flowing mane, he always made those little lionesses, little she-cats, and little mares crazy when he was doing "wink" on weekdays.
But this time, facing two human boys, this move failed.
"Tailaq, I seem to have frightened the two children behind."
After hearing his words, Telak turned his head and glanced behind him, and sure enough he saw two 'frightened little chickens'.
After thinking for a while, he took out two chocolate-flavored energy bars from his pocket, took out two bottles of drinking water, and handed them to the back.
At the same time, the synchronous translation device hanging on the ear was turned on, and the power amplifier mode was turned on.
"Don't be afraid. Eat some energy bars to calm down. There are body armors under the seats. You can put them on first."
Watching the two children gingerly take the energy bars and water, Telak continued:
"You saw the token just now. We were really sent by your brothers to pick you up."
"Sorry, gentlemen, this is indeed the first time we have seen the legendary Roma with our own eyes, so we are a little nervous."
Matthew, the youngest, showed a higher emotional intelligence than his second brother at this time and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Telak.
"Legendary? Did he just say 'legendary'? Haha~"
Regarding Matthew's description, Menton seemed quite happy, as if he had become a big shot.
However, Telak ignored Menton's madness and prepared to get close to the two children again to relieve their tension.
But at this moment, the car radio buzzed twice, and then the voice of the Memphis instructor came out.
“Attention all vehicles, we are tailgating, and it looks like someone is coming to play with us.
Attention VIP cars, follow the car in front.
Other vehicles, take cover! "
"Copy that, sir."
After hearing what Memphis said, Telak quickly replied in the communication channel and then opened a screen in front of the passenger seat.
Under his operation, a four-copter drone flew out of a temporarily installed flat part on the roof of the car.
The footage taken by the drone was also quickly displayed on the screen.
About 50 meters behind the convoy, a car that had been marked by other vehicles was following at a distance at a high speed.
"It seems that Boss is right. Mary Bay Industries really wants to attack these two children. We are really lucky. The routine operations of these large companies in handling these matters are indeed quite simple and crude."
Telak looked at the car on the screen and murmured, while controlling the drone to change to 'follow mode', and then scouting in other directions through the camera.
Mengton, who was driving, quickly glanced at the screen and said:
"Is there only one tail? This is just for tracking, right? If the other party wants to take action, there must be other helpers."
"You're right, and their help is here too."
Telak looked serious. On the screen in front of him, the entire convoy was turning from the main road onto the expressway leading to the port.
It was now working time during the day, and except for a few freight vehicles, there were no other vehicles on this expressway.
The other party seemed to be planning to pick this spot to attack. Not only did the car turn around, but six other vehicles lurking in the traffic also turned around.
These vehicles with different identities have obviously been modified, and one of them is even disguised as a donut transporter.
You may not be able to tell it when mixed in the traffic, but once you drive it alone, you can see that their bodies are obviously different.
Obviously, like everyone else in Atlas, the vehicle has been modified to be bulletproof and explosion-proof.
"Attention everyone, get ready for battle."
In the communication channel, Memphis's voice came again.
Terak also picked up a heavy automatic shotgun with a drum magazine from his feet and loaded it neatly with a "click".
After the modification, the heavy shotgun with larger grip and trigger guard, and enlarged safety, speed selector and other components, was as compact as a submachine gun in Terak's hands.
The weapons of other people in the team were also temporarily modified, making it easier for them, the Roma, to hold.
However, everyone's weapons were this kind of gunpowder kinetic energy weapon, which was also the regulation of the satellite city administration.
Although these employees of Atlas have obtained temporary gun licenses and are allowed to carry weapons in, they are still restricted in the power of their weapons.
Small directed energy weapons and high-penetration weapons such as electromagnetic rifles are prohibited from being carried, and these weapons still have the risk of causing damage to the satellite city.
However, there are no such restrictions on gunpowder kinetic energy weapons.
Memphis, sitting in the co-pilot of the first car, also completed the last communication with Amber through the encrypted communication channel.
After hearing Memphis' report, Amber made the same judgment as Terak with the help of the information Lilith collected in the satellite city network.
The "tail" behind Memphis must be someone from Mary Bay Industries.
Maybe it's their private soldiers, or other mercenaries they hired.
These people were originally planning to find an opportunity to kidnap Eugene Koch's two younger brothers in these days, and then use this to threaten the studio's owner to agree to their "acquisition".
Who knew that Atlas' security team came to pick them up.
According to Amber's judgment, these people will definitely not let Memphis and his team reach the port easily.
And the best time to take action is on the expressway leading to the port.
However, with the speed of the satellite city's internal security forces, they may have finished their work and headed to the port, and they just received the news and were ready to go.
So they didn't expect these internal security forces to help, and the last section of the road could only rely on Memphis and his team to rush over by themselves.
Since Mary Bay Industries has also mobilized so many troops, it means that they probably have a ship parked at the port, and there must be backup forces on the ship.
If these people fail to intercept the target on the way, the people at the port will be the last insurance.
And Amber will personally lead another team to kill this last insurance.
After ending the communication with Amber, Memphis manipulated the co-pilot screen.
A small laser communication device stretched out from a "patch" on the top of the vehicle.
The simple and crude connection method proves that this thing is also temporarily installed.
At the same time, the Roma in other vehicles also received the latest instructions from the instructor through the team communication channel.
"All vehicles, turn off shortwave communications, and switch the team's communication channel to blue-green laser communication mode.
Car No. 4, turn on the electronic warfare module for final debugging, and perform full-band blocking interference after confirming the start of the battle.
Car No. 3 and Car No. 5, keep a close eye on the actions of the "tail" behind you. Once you find that the other party has the intention to attack, you must strike first.
We have obtained the boss's permission to engage in battle."
"Received! Sir!"
A modified SUV is speeding up behind the Atlas convoy.
Lawrence, who belongs to Yaoguang Defense, looks at the convoy in front of him, which is speeding at high speed in a dense formation, and an ominous premonition emerges in his heart.
His Yaoguang Defense is also a big company in the mercenary circle, and has signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Mary Bay Industries.
In addition to routine tasks such as defense of important areas and VIP escort, occasionally he has to help Mary Bay Industries do some dirty work that is shameful.
For example, sniping important R&D personnel and executives of competing companies, stealing confidential documents of opponents, or creating some small surprises for other companies' factories.
Compared with the above tasks, today's "pick-up" task is relatively "friendly".
But the sudden appearance of this team of people caught Lawrence and others off guard.
After they watched their target being taken away, some vague information came from the "nest".
This team of people who suddenly appeared should be other mercenaries hired by Eugene Koch.
"I remember the boss said that the scale of Trident Studio is not large? How can there be money to hire so many mercenaries? And they are basically Roma. Wow, this is the first time I have seen these big cats."
"Who knows, maybe this guy sold his property? Plan to rescue his brothers and run away?"
"Alas, I like their modified parts very much. It would be a pity if they don't do it in the future."
The other companions in the SUV chatted briefly.
But Lawrence, who had a bad feeling in his heart, interrupted their conversation.
"Shut up, don't talk about the higher-ups, and don't talk too much during the mission."
"Yes, boss."
After the car quieted down, Lawrence, who was determined to cut the Gordian knot, did not hesitate and said directly in the team channel:
"Everyone, cheer up! Follow the backup plan C and start the attack."
After his order was issued, he soon received replies from other cars in the channel.
And these camouflaged vehicles also began to speed up, closing the distance with the Atlas convoy.
The windows of several cars were rolled down, and several people wearing combat equipment leaned out and aimed their guns at the front.
"Attention, the other party has pulled out a gun! Prepare to counterattack!"
The slightly nervous call from car No. 5 came from the communication channel.
Adhering to the principle of "strike first to gain the upper hand", the Roma on car No. 4 activated the "full-band blocking interference" mode of the portable electronic warfare unit without hesitation.
During the training process at Babel Tower, they only received the most basic technical weapons and skills training.
Since professional electronic warfare technicians have not been trained yet, these Roma can only use ready-made electronic warfare equipment in electronic warfare, and are limited to using the relatively fixed functions of these equipment.
If it were the three electronic warfare technicians who followed Amber to kill, they would have to give the cars behind them a hard time.
But even if they only relied on this portable electronic warfare unit, it would be enough to give the mercenaries of Yaoguang Defense behind them a hard time.
These mercenaries would never have thought that the Atlas team in front of them was completely like the military in terms of combat.
In order to fight in a complex electromagnetic environment, a blue-green laser communication device was even installed on the vehicle.
So when the electronic warfare unit began to "work", the people from Yaoguang Defense behind were confused.
There were only bursts of "rustling" noises in the communication channel, and the only way to communicate with other vehicles was to make gestures.
Just as the mercenaries who leaned out of the car windows were still hesitating whether to continue the attack as planned.
They saw that the convoy in front, which had always maintained a tight formation, finally changed.
Two of the SUVs retreated to the end of the team and remained parallel on the two lanes.
A sturdy lion head also poked out of the open skylights of the two cars.
In their smiles that seemed very kind to the Roma people but extremely ferocious to outsiders, they lifted two general-purpose machine guns from the car.
Then, the two lion heads showed the mercenaries behind who had not yet figured out the situation what "recoil is a lie of capitalism" meant.
"Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da!!!"
When two flames swept from the SUV in front, Lawrence knew that something was wrong.
The opponent's strength and professionalism far exceeded the judgment of the "Nest" intelligence personnel.
And they were very decisive. After discovering that Lawrence and his team had the intention to attack, they opened fire without saying a word.
Just a few short rounds of "world-class suppression" long bursts, all the mercenaries of Yaoguang Defense who leaned out were suppressed back into the car.
But these Yaoguang Defense mercenaries are not rookies.
Although the team's communication had been interfered at this time, they immediately drew dragons on the road with their experience.
The drivers of several trucks in the back stepped on the brakes and started to slow down after seeing seven cars snaking on the road in front and there seemed to be vehicles firing in the front.
A few enthusiastic drivers even took the time to call the police at the Satellite City Police Station.
"Hello? I want to call the police! There are multiple cars fighting on the N37 Expressway heading to the port!"
"Ah? What weapons are you talking about? Machine guns! Have you seen the clattering machine guns?!"
No matter how the police in the satellite city felt after hearing that someone was firing machine guns on the expressway.
Lawrence of Yaoguang Defense was in a bad mood at this time.
Although the front windshield of the vehicle he was riding in was also changed to bulletproof glass, it was still blurred by the general machine gun.
The mercenary in the driver's seat could only drive through the images taken by the on-board camera.
The situation of other vehicles was not much different from theirs.
After the two Roma found that these vehicles were all bulletproof, they focused their shooting targets on the front windshields of the vehicles.
Under their amazing gun control, the front windshields of the seven vehicles were all hit into a white piece, and their vehicles could no longer make larger evasive actions.
But this is not over yet. The Roma security team, which has taken the initiative, does not intend to waste this excellent opportunity.
With two machine gunners keeping suppressive fire, the two SUVs slowed down and quickly drove to a position parallel to the two Yaoguang Defense vehicles.
The mercenaries in the two vehicles didn't even have time to urge the drivers to dodge.
They saw the window of the back seat of the SUV lowered, and a grinning lion head gave them a "kind" smile, and then aimed the fully automatic shotgun in his hand at them.
