Chapter 568 Johor Bahru City (1)

"These guns look like toys. They don't have magazines or anything like that, or are they enclosed in some kind of protective structure?"

"These aren't toys, Liz. Although I've never seen them myself, the things in these boxes should be electromagnetic weapons. See that bulky metal block at the end of the gun? It's its battery, or rather, its energy source."

"So how do you use these things? Are they powerful enough?"

"I'm not sure about that. I haven't seen them in person. I've only seen some review videos online. But... maybe we can ask him."

Liz had no idea what was in these military supply boxes. Since their shapes were very different from conventional live ammunition weapons, when she first saw them, she mistakenly thought they were some kind of toys. However, she knew that this was unlikely. After all, they were now in the arms warehouse of the criminal organizations on Highway 23. No matter how she thought about it, they couldn't be in the toy business.

Frank knew what these things were. He had seen some related videos on the Internet and knew that they were some new type of experimental electromagnetic weapons. However, he did not know the specific operation methods and the power of the weapons.

However, Adenauer, standing next to him, seemed very familiar with these weapons. During their brief conversation, he had already activated some of them and was debugging them. He must know more detailed information about these electromagnetic weapons. Frank had no doubt that he had used something similar before.

"These things are simple to operate, but time is of the essence, so I'll just briefly explain. These weapons are low-powered electromagnetic rifles. The one in this box is a rechargeable electromagnetic ray gun, and the one you're holding is a regular electromagnetic rifle. There's a button below the energy core with four settings, each representing a different power level. These electromagnetic weapons aren't that advanced, and you fire them just like regular live ammunition weapons: you pull the trigger. Right here."

During the process of debugging the weapons, Adenauer quickly informed the two of them how to use this electromagnetic weapon and briefly explained the differences between the weapons in these military supply boxes.

"Are they powerful enough? Compared to the weapons we've used before, I mean."

"Almost. They have the same firepower as a heavy machine gun. However, due to power issues, they can't be used continuously like live ammunition weapons. They need to dissipate heat. However, this problem is easy to solve. These weapons have been lightweighted and are about the same weight as regular pistols. All we need is a few more."

"boom!!!!"

"They're on top! Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!"

At this moment, the three heard a loud crash. Looking down through the gap on the second-floor platform, they saw a team of fully armed thugs rushing into the building. The three quickly found a position and prepared to ambush the enemies rushing upstairs. However, because Frank and Liz were not familiar with the electromagnetic weapons in their hands, they were both very nervous.

"Remember, don't point the gun at your own people."

"Om~~"

Adenauer was still at the front of the team. He skillfully aimed his weapon at the stairs. Soon, Frank and Liz, who were behind him, heard the humming sound of the electromagnetic equipment being charged. They also saw that the energy core of one of the electromagnetic weapons in Adenauer's hand lit up, accompanied by the vibration of the gun body.

“They’re here!!!!”

"Buzz~~~!!!"

The first group of thugs who rushed up to the second floor immediately spotted Adenauer, half of his body sticking out of the doorway. Just as they shouted to alert their companions in the rear, they also saw a light blue beam shoot towards them and hit them directly. There was no explosion, no loud noise. The light blue beam pierced straight through the thugs who had already rushed into the corridor at the forefront. The scorching beam directly melted their chests, leaving fist-sized ablation holes at the penetration points.

"Boom boom boom!"

Because death came too quickly, the people in the back didn't know what happened in the front, or whether they heard the screams of being attacked, so they still rushed to the second floor. The electromagnetic ray gun in Adenauer's hand needed a second charge, so he temporarily hid behind the door, while Frank and Liz took over his fire suppression and started shooting with the conventional electromagnetic rifles in their hands.

Compared with traditional live ammunition weapons, these electromagnetic rifles have almost no recoil. However, due to the operation of the energy core, the entire gun body will experience some small overall vibration when firing. If you don't hold it tightly, it may deviate from the original aiming position. Fortunately, Frank and Liz were very nervous and held the gun body tightly, offsetting the vibration of the gun body.

After pulling the trigger, a series of small, pale blue orbs were ejected from the muzzle. As they left the gun, they emitted a sound similar to compressed air and a pulsing electrical current. Upon impacting the crowd, these orbs released a significant amount of electricity. The combined force of several orbs instantly created a small field of electric energy. While this field didn't last long due to power constraints, it electrocuted any attackers who entered it during the brief duration, leaving extensive burn marks on their bodies. Several of the individuals, having rushed into the second-floor corridor, leaned forward as they ran, causing some of the orbs to strike them directly in the head. The energy-laden orbs burst, shattering their eyeballs.

"Buzz~~!!!"

When Adenauer fired the electromagnetic ray gun for the second time, those guys who rushed to the second floor of the building realized what was happening. They began to look for obstacles to hide and stopped their advance to the upper floors. They began to look for other ways to try to attack the second floor again. Many people also took out grenades and prepared to throw them at the top of the stairs.

However, the experienced Adenauer had long guessed that they would play such a trick, so after the second shot was completed and the electromagnetic ray gun was recharged, he picked up the plasma grenade that he had found in the military supply box before and threw it into the stairwell together with a stun bomb.

"Crack! Ping!"

The blinding light instantly blinded and stunned all enemies trapped within the stairwell and on the lowest side, temporarily rendering them incapable of movement. Immediately afterwards, the plasma grenade exploded, its internal electromagnetic confinement field destroyed, and the high-temperature plasma stored within instantly spread outward, instantly melting everything it touched. Although, due to technical reasons, this relatively early model (compared to reality) had a smaller damage range than a standard grenade, the melted staircase, the bodies of the thugs, and the high-temperature liquid produced by the melting metal of their weapons ignited nearby flammable objects, causing secondary damage.

The thugs' clothing and bodies were excellent fuel, and given the already dense crowd, the fire spread rapidly, quickly blocking the entire stairwell. Adenauer seized this opportunity to push a cart filled with empty boxes from the room into the hallway and kick it directly toward the stairs. The cart tumbled down the stairs, and the empty boxes on it quickly ignited, blocking the stairway once again. For a short time, the people below could not rush up.

"Locating available vehicles... Completed, no target vehicle found."

Temporarily halting their pursuit, the three men immediately left their original position. The contractor's equipment detected a large number of enemies advancing towards the building they were in. They estimated that in a dozen minutes, the building would either be completely surrounded or directly destroyed by missiles. Therefore, the three men had to find a way to leave the building and continue along Highway 23, leaving the criminal organization's territory.

Given the current situation, the biggest obstacle to leaving Route 23 was the missile troopers scattered across the highway. They were stationed atop nearby buildings, each armed with individual missile launchers. The contractor's equipment, detecting the weapon's signal, revealed that the troopers numbered over 20, covering nearly two-thirds of Route 23. While they needed to reload after each shot, their missile inventory was a concern, with each trooper carrying at least three. In this situation, any conventional vehicle would become a sitting duck.

While the contractor's equipment could remotely hack into all smart missile launchers, the criminal organization here was a massive operation. They possessed not only smart missile launchers but also a large number of conventional rocket launchers and grenade launchers. These devices, completely devoid of intelligent systems, naturally could not be remotely dispatched. Simply running was a dead end, at least not for someone of Adenauer's stature. Therefore, they needed a vehicle that could withstand a certain level of bombardment and be bulletproof. Unfortunately, no vehicle within a hundred meters met these requirements.

"The fire is about to go out! What should I do?!"

"We can't stay in this building any longer! Get out!"

"There are too many people! Where are we running to?!"

Whether it was the effects of the dungeon system or the fact that these criminal gang members were high on drugs, their morale was incredibly high. Even with their companions tragically dying beside them, their screams unceasing, they charged fearlessly at the three men. And it was as if they had their own barracks, with a constant stream of reinforcements heading towards the area. Looking out the window, at least a hundred heavily armed thugs had surrounded the building. In the distance, thick smoke could be seen rising from the highway, indicating that more convoys were heading their way.

"Searching for a suitable breakout point...Scanning the terrain...Calculating personnel distribution..."

"Completed, weak points have been marked that meet the target."

As they moved through the corridor, the three of them cleared out the thugs who had climbed up to the second floor through the windows. Adenauer used the contractor's equipment to calculate the most suitable breakout point. Based on the current distribution of the enemies surrounding the building, the contractor's equipment calculated three suitable breakout points. One of them was located at the rear of the building, requiring the first floor wall to be blown open. If they broke through from this point, the three of them would eventually penetrate deeper into the mountain, but this would be blocked on the mountain, making it unfeasible.

The second position was on the left side of the building, but there was nothing there. Rushing out would only make them sitting ducks, so naturally that wasn't an option either. The final position was the main entrance on the first floor of the building, right in front of Route 23. While this area was equally open and had the most people, the dozen or so meters away from Route 23 were closed metal gates and the checkpoints in front of the building. There were enough obstacles to rely on for defensive counterattacks. Most importantly, the barbed wire here could be burned directly by plasma grenades. If they seized the opportunity, they might be able to grab a vehicle and continue on their way.

"Go through the main gate and get out!"

“Crack!! Ping!!”

Relying on the combination of plasma grenades and special stun bombs, plus the electromagnetic rifles and electromagnetic ray guns in the hands of the three, the three of them went on a killing spree in the building and soon reached the first floor of the building. After throwing several stun bombs in succession, blinding and knocking out dozens of enemies outside the main gate, the three of them fired freely, rushed out of the building, and came to the checkpoint behind the metal gate. Relying on the buildings inside and the advantages brought by the stun bombs, the three of them quickly wiped out the enemies in between without any danger, and successfully destroyed the barbed wire. Relying on the cover of the electromagnetic weapons in their hands, they rushed out of the metal gate and came to the edge of Highway 23.
