Chapter 7: The Killer Bees' Attack

  Li Ang finally discovered that the world he came to was not much different from the original one, at least the principle of having money making things easier was universal. The advantage of having enough money was that it could save a lot of time, and the replenishment was completed soon after entering Shacheng. From fuel to water, food, ammunition, and supplies.

  From yesterday to this evening, they didn't have a good rest, but Blanke had no intention of staying in the sand city and set off with the night.

  This road is heading west, and after just an hour of walking, the world has already become one that Li Ang doesn't recognize. He was never someone with a strong sense of direction to begin with; apart from the surroundings of Shacheng and the desolate city he crossed over from, all other places are unknown to him.

  The unknown is always frightening, Li Ang had never thought so in his original world. For many scientific studies that show a person's activity range for most of their life is within fifty kilometers, he was even more skeptical. But the situation here is that except for one long-distance hunting trip, he really hadn't left the surroundings of Shacheng within twenty kilometers.

  Although the road conditions were very poor, Li Ang gradually became drowsy. The only thing that could make him hold back his sleepiness was Mackey sitting in the back row, imagining this lecherous uncle constantly bouncing up and down with the vehicle made Li Ang's heart skip a beat. Originally, in Blanke's view, Li Ang was also a protected object, so he got on the second car in the middle, but the sudden change of circumstances changed the purpose and configuration of the entire team. Because it was possible to encounter enemies at any time, Li Ang, who had no special skills, was stuffed into the first car.

  What is the No. 1 car liaison team, it's clear that all those who can be sacrificed are put on board. Looking at the people in this car, Li Ang completely knows his status now. Except for the driver and the explosive man Macky, who was brought by Jin, all the others in the car were rescued from the Sand Thief Camp early in the morning. Although they had a hasty wash in the sandy city, their bodies still smelled of countless strange smells. The only thing that comforted Li Ang was that the humanoid tank Lok was acting as a gunner at the shooting position in the back row of the car, with such a person covering him, the chances of escaping were obviously much greater.

  In the savage world, the temperature at night was very low. Even though Li Ang wore special combat uniform and added a Trev fiber bulletproof vest, he still felt a chill. The stars in the sky were like a curtain of silver light flowing with fluorescence. Living in a heavily polluted world, Li Ang had never seen such a clean and beautiful night sky before, plus the moon that was many times larger than his impression. Such a night sky should be able to increase the success rate by at least 50% when used as a tool for flirting. The only thing that affected his mood was that he hadn't met any women who looked at things in the same way as him since coming to this world, and probably wouldn't meet anyone with the same mindset as him to appreciate the night sky either.

  "There are a large number of unidentified vehicles appearing in the eleven o'clock direction!" The loudspeaker inside the car shouted loudly by Red, who was responsible for the third car's lookout. The sudden shout made Li Ang, who was in charge of communication, startled.

  "Proceed south at full speed, all hands prepare for battle. Reed continues to pay attention to judging their intentions!" Blanke's command also came over immediately.

  "Head south and maintain speed. Everyone get ready for battle." Li Ang, the cannon fodder team captain, immediately relayed the order to everyone.

  After speeding down the dirt road, the car became even more bumpy. Li Ang, in the front passenger seat, pushed open the steel venetian blind on the door and stuck his head out to look back as hard as he could. He clearly didn't have Red's good eyesight, and all he saw was the dust kicked up by three Hummers. Everyone in the car was nervously checking their weapons, with Lock rummaging through boxes of bullets in the rear combat seat. The only one who got excited was the bomber boy in the backseat, who started fiddling with flammable and explosive materials from his backpack after hearing that a conflict might erupt. Even though Macky used high-safety detonators this time, Li Ang focused all his attention on a man's hands for the first time in his life.

  Noticing someone was staring at him, the pervert smiled at Li Ang with a friendly smile. Unfortunately, this toothless person's smile was even uglier than crying. Just as Li Ang was considering whether to ignore this time bomb, Macky threw a remote control at Li Ang and said: "Help me adjust the frequency, press the number button to adjust the button next to it. When the indicator in my hand lights up, change to the next number. Remember not to press the numbers that have been adjusted, otherwise we'll both fly into the sky."

  Just as Li Ang was fully focused on fiddling with the remote control, Reed's voice came from the loudspeaker again: "The other party is not going to Shacheng, and is now approaching us at full speed!"

  Li Ang hastily poked his head out again, and on the horizon, there were already twinkling lights. It seemed that many people were coming, but it was unknown what kind of transportation they used.

  "Number one car, number three car advance in parallel! Maintain speed, prepare to engage the enemy!" Blanka ordered immediately.

  The three cars, which were originally traveling in a straight line, suddenly formed a "?" shape and sped south at full speed. The people in the back seats of the cars made preparations to shoot. Mackie, holding explosives with fuses and electronic detonators, stuck half his body out of the car window and shouted loudly.

  "It's killer bees, it's a whole swarm of them. There are dozens of hoverbikes and three hovercars, they're moving much faster than us, we can't shake them off." Red continued to report, as the sniper with the M14 rifle opened fire.

  "Free attack, prioritize attacking their vehicle's power source, don't fall behind." Blanke commanded through the loudspeaker.

  Although he had only been in the wilderness world for three months, Li Ang heard the most stories about the Killer Bees. Whether it was the disabled shop owner or the bounty hunters in the bar, their greatest hobby was boasting about their battles with the Killer Bees. It seemed that not having fought against the Killer Bees wasn't considered a man, which was quite similar to the virgin complex in his own world. From this, it could be seen that the Killer Bees were absolutely the top brand among the post-apocalyptic robbery organizations, the king of kings.

  But crippled child Jin said that the Killer Bees not only robbed but also provided protection, and controlled the production of many popular chemical stimulants and strong drinks on the market. What's even more bizarre is that in the cities controlled by the Killer Bees themselves, there was the best law and order, the most prosperous markets, and the most luxurious enjoyment, as long as you could safely arrive there.

  It wasn't long before the deafening roar of the motorcycle engines came from behind, and Li Ang and Red's long and short weapons on the car all opened fire. Locke's machine gun was extremely fierce, and from time to time, a pursuing motorcycle would be hit and explode into a huge fireball. A large number of shell casings and enemy bullets clanged against the thick steel exterior of the Hummer, adding to Macky's crazy shouting and the massive explosion of the grenades he threw out, making Li Ang's scalp tingle repeatedly.

  Because he was using the MP5 submachine gun, those tens of meters of pitiful range were no threat to the enemy behind. Li Ang naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to stick his head out and fire blindly, but just pay attention to whether there were any fish that had slipped through the net coming around from the side. Like this, nearly half an hour passed and Li Ang hadn't fired a single shot, with Luo Ke completely suppressing them from behind. It seemed that the Killer Bees weren't as difficult to deal with as imagined, just as Li Ang was secretly rejoicing in his heart, Luo Ke's machine gun suddenly fell silent.

  Even if they had just replenished their ammunition, they couldn't withstand the consumption of such suppressive firepower. The bullets themselves were heavy and it was impossible to carry too many out. It wasn't until Luo Ke patted the top of the car asking for more bullets that he realized the four boxes of 2,000 rounds had been completely used up.

  The killer bees, who were initially suppressed by Locke's firepower and didn't dare to get too close, suddenly felt a great reduction in pressure and swarmed forward. Despite the other guns on the vehicle firing intensively, several desperate individuals managed to squeeze through the gaps in the firepower and stick close. Li Ang saw a motorcycle accelerate from the right side and attach itself to their vehicle, and for an instant, time seemed to stand still. Li Ang clearly saw the rider hunched over, his face sideways, tightly attached to the hoverbike. The gunman behind him was holding some kind of assault rifle and firing at the front wheel of their Hummer. The distance was so close that even in the dark, Li Ang could see the rider's attire clearly - he wore a tattered black leather jacket, had tattoos with red stripes on his face, and had large and small iron rings hanging from his cheeks, nose, and lips. The rider was grinning savagely at Li Ang.

  "Fire to the right, don't let them hit the front wheel!" Li Ang shouted loudly, his MP5 protruding from the shooting port and firing at the rider. This was the first time Li Ang had used this weapon since he got it, and despite being idle for a long time and being somewhat damaged, the gun still worked so well that not only was the recoil small, but even the sound was very quiet, to the point where he could hear the sound of the firing pin striking the primer and the shell casing hitting the car window.

  The bullets fired by Jin at Li Ang were all blank rounds that caused injury to the personnel, creating deep holes in the places where the riders were hit. As the bullet points moved, Li Ang could see the splashing flesh and blood everywhere. The shot from the left eye corner was even more devastating, causing the rider's entire eyeball to explode out of its socket. This immediately made the rider lose consciousness, and as his head slumped, the motorcycle lost control and charged towards Li Ang's Hummer. Although the air-cushioned motorcycle was much heavier than a regular motorcycle, it was still no match for the armored Hummer. The motorcycle bounced off the Hummer and flew away, while the gunman on the backseat performed a beautiful flip in mid-air before landing in front of the Hummer. As the vehicle shook twice, Li Ang couldn't help but shudder at the thought that motorcycles were indeed very dangerous vehicles, no wonder people said that if you wanted to die quickly, just kick one.

  After all, the killer bees had a great advantage in numbers, even if the Hummer armor gave Blanka's convoy some firepower. The tires of Car No. 1 and Car No. 3 were still destroyed by the motorcycles that the killer bees had ambushed, and if it weren't for the Hummer's semi-solid tires with excellent anti-explosion performance, they would have lost control and overturned long ago.

  "Park under the small hill on your left and scatter for cover." Blanka's voice came over the loudspeaker.

  As his column lost speed and the heavily armed hovercraft were about to catch up, Blank ordered a halt to resist.

  Li Ang thought that his current physical condition was absolutely comparable to a startled rabbit. Earlier, they had lost speed and were walking the slowest when they were caught up by an air-cushion car. The air-cushion car not only had an old-fashioned medium-caliber direct-fire cannon installed on it, but also seemed to have an endless supply of rocket launchers. Several times, they almost got hit by rockets, and after reaching the foot of the mountain, Li Ang pushed open the door and flipped out before the car even stopped. Almost simultaneously, a rocket shell with a trailing flame hit his number one car. Except for the very cunning pervert man and the super mutant Rocky who was blown out from the shooting port, everyone else in the car was engulfed by the soaring flames. It wasn't until Li Ang hid behind a huge boulder that he noticed that Rocky had suffered severe head injuries during the battle on the road earlier, with one of his eyes completely blinded.

  Because there were many flammable and explosive materials from the McDonald's on the vehicle, Car One was now engulfed in flames. Fortunately, Blank and Kim had arrived earlier and taken up positions, launching a fierce attack against the swarming enemy under the light of the fire. The enemy's counterattack was even more frantic, with members of the Killer Bee gang riding hoverbikes refusing to dismount, relying on their speed to constantly charge into Liang's rear position and then wildly spraying gunfire before retreating. Meanwhile, the arriving hovercars also opened fire on this side with their onboard cannons. For a time, shrapnel flew everywhere and rocks splashed about.
