CHAPTER 347: CHAPTER 326: THE ROLE OF THE DRONE

The moment the drone took off, Tang Er’s hand was hit.

He hadn’t noticed before, but now he was alert. When the drone took flight, the propellers on top spun so fast that it actually hurt his Type A Neo-Human hand a bit.

"Hiss—"

He couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath, shook his hand, and watched as the drone flew away in an instant.

This machine flies quite fast.

Tang Er recalled the movies he watched at the base—the ones left by Lu Xi’an—those war movies showed all kinds of weapons, omnipotent, on land and in the sky, some could even destroy an entire city in an instant.

The people of the old world were truly formidable.

That’s what he thought to himself.

So clever, being able to construct so many skyscrapers and manufacture so many weapons.

Nowadays, even the Type A Neo-Humans, when faced with those movie weapons, would be left overwhelmed, wouldn’t they?

As he was thinking this, the drone suddenly emitted light, striking certain places off the road, leaving scorched pits on the ground.

It left small holes in trees and a plume of black smoke in the air.

After a few shots, the drone flew back, landing on the car’s roof.

Tang Er didn’t dare reach out his hand to catch it. He picked up the drone, and mimicking Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei, asked Gou, "Is there more, Gou?"

Gou’s eyes flickered twice, which he remembered was supposed to mean no. He had heard from Lu Xi’an before that when Gou denied something, his eyes would flash twice.

He never thought that one day, Gou would actually listen to the words he said.

Tang Er felt secretly pleased.

After getting the answer, Tang Er crawled into the car window from the roof, placing the drone and Gou well.

The drone’s mission was completed, and now it was their turn.

"Is everything shot?"

Yao, who was driving, asked.

Tang Er looked at Gou and the drone and said, "It should be. Mr. Lu’s and Mr. Yao’s Gou shouldn’t make a mistake."

In fact, he didn’t see any insects, the noise was too loud for him to distinguish the sounds of insects, he only saw the drone’s light firing randomly.

But Mr. Lu and Mr. Yao should always be trusted.

"That’s right."

Yao nodded.

Tang Er glanced at the Resonant Gene Scanner. In the bumpy car, the Resonant Gene Scanner was placed on the front passenger seat, secured with a seatbelt, so it wouldn’t fly about.

On the scanner’s map, the enemy’s eleven red dots had already spread out; the leading two had already encountered Mr. Luo and his team, hopefully, they could handle it.

The one in the middle had already crossed them on two parallel lines, swiftly heading towards Mr. Luo’s team.

Mr. Luo’s team surely knew and should have made preparations.

The ones left were those who fell behind...

Tang Er frowned and suddenly said, "It’s coming!"

On the Resonant Gene Scanner’s map, one of the rear road’s red dots suddenly separated, closing in fast towards them.

This was the only Type A Neo-Human from the rear camp.

Now it was confirmed, the insects used by the Type C Neo-Humans among the enemy had all been eliminated by the drone. Otherwise, why would that Type A Neo-Human suddenly strike out?

The person was still walking along the road, not leaving it.

Faced with two incomplete Neo-Humans, the Fungus Stone or meat containing Fungus Stone they consumed, as well as the Resonant Gene Scanner, wouldn’t have any effect.

So, unless they could visually or audibly detect Tang Er and Yao, this Type A Neo-Human would surely pass them by.

Tang Er asked Yao, "Yao, any problems?"

Yao said, "There shouldn’t be any problems, I’ve learned everything from the manual, although voice disguise is difficult, I use it quite well. Regardless, when I use it on you, if you’re not listening carefully, you wouldn’t notice me."

"That’s true."

Tang Er said, "Then let’s hope it works this time too. I’m going up the roof. If it works, we can catch them off guard."

"Okay."

Yao replied.

Tang Er immediately climbed onto the car roof. He never thought the drone’s action would provide a distraction tactic.

The car headed west, the Neo-Human approached from the east.

Tang Er stood on the roof, soon hearing footsteps on the road. Someone was sprinting quickly, without noticing them.

A distraction tactic... such a vivid term from the movies...

Tang Er thought as he pulled a handful of pebbles from his pants pocket.

—He had learned this hidden weapon technique from Mr. Lu and Mr. Yao, and now it was time to use it.

...

On the road, someone sped towards the east, suddenly halting, with a bewildered look. By the riverside road, the Guanhai River rushed down, flowing toward the sea.

The explosive sounds of fists colliding downstream suddenly stopped, and Boss Liang and Xu were simultaneously punched and sent flying.

Boss Liang got punched in the eye, his eye socket caved in, while Xu was punched in the stomach, the fat jiggling wildly like a hula hoop spinning chaotically, taking a while to settle.

The two exchanged a glance, their expressions swiftly changed, and without hesitation, they turned and ran.

Just now, the hormones in their bodies dramatically plummeted in an instant, severing their connection with the Type C Neo-Humans.

In the midst of their intense battle, their strength suddenly dropped, making it hard for their bodies to adapt, and they showed a flaw.

Thus, Lu Xi’an’s and Yao Wei’s full-force punches under the Type C Neo-Humans’ enhancement were no longer something they could easily block.

The two leaders from the Northern County immediately recognized something was wrong and retreated decisively.

Behind, Liu Hua, hidden at Chai Xin’s place, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been watching the battlefield, multitasking by controlling the ant swarm, ready to deploy the Flying Ants at any moment.

But on this battlefield, whether it was Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei or Boss Liang and Xu, their speeds were just too fast, tangled together indistinguishably. With her naked eye, she couldn’t discern them, unable to put the Flying Ants into action effectively.

So she could only hold back from making any moves.

She felt anxious, unable to exert any power, wondering how Xuan Xiaocao had once used the Flying Ants to drive Boss Liang and his men away...

Just then, seeing the two groups separate, Liu Hua finally saw an opportunity to strike and immediately directed the Flying Ants to attack.

"Boom—"

The ant swarm took flight, overwhelming the sky as they chased after Boss Liang and Xu. After devouring the half-corpse of Yang Shuxia, these ants’ abilities had considerably advanced, now moving at a speed close to catching up with Boss Liang and Xu.

Thus, Lu Xi’an and Yao Wei pursued from the middle, while the ant swarm closed in from both sides, a dense mass forming an encirclement, pressing toward Boss Liang and Xu.

Boss Liang glanced back while running, angrily shouting, "So you’ve actually teamed up with Xuan Xiaocao from the north! No wonder you have so many people!"
