Chapter 825 Cat and Mouse Game

Boom!

The grenade landed beside the jeep, stirring up waves and sending shards flying into the bulletproof armor and gla.s.s. It made Long Yuehong and Bai Chen in the car feel like they had encountered the unstoppable might of nature.

Jiang Baimian was very glad that closing the car door didnt require much precision. Even in her drunken state, she could finish it relatively easily. Otherwise, she really wasnt sure if she couldve done it before the grenade landed.

Without the jeeps protection, even if she was wearing a military exoskeleton and could ensure that her vital spots werent damaged, she probably wouldnt be spared.

The explosion quelled slightly, and Bai Chen started the car. She then controlled the steering wheel and floored the accelerator.

The jeep zoomed off, and for the first time, Bai Chen understood what drunk driving was.

Her limbs didnt listen to her brains commands, and her brains reaction was always one or two beats slower.

When she read the entertainment data of the old world, she actually didnt understand why getting drunk affected driving. After all, as a wilderness wanderer and ruin hunter who had suffered since she was a child, she rarely drank alcohol. Even when she went to Weed Citys bars to get information and had to follow the local customs, she didnt indulge herself. At most, she would get a little tipsy.

At this moment, she finally understood how accurate the saying if you drink, dont drive; if you drive, dont drink was.

She couldnt control herself. Although the military exoskeleton equipment provided sufficient aid, it was ultimately external equipment that operated according to her various reactions. It was impossible to forcefully modify her movements.

This was just like how the precision aiming system only provided the wearer a reference. It could help adjust the aim and provide the correct posture and direction, but it couldnt force the wearer to shoot anywhere.

Of course, it was also possible if she wanted the exoskeleton equipment to be the primary driver and have the wearer be secondary. It was just like how some cars had the ability to drive automatically.

Unfortunately, this required some tweaking to change the system mode. Bai Chen couldnt complete it in a short period of time in her drunken state, and reality didnt give her enough s.p.a.ce.

In addition, the automatic mode of the military exoskeleton device was completely inferior to that of an intelligent robot. The older the model, the more so. If one were to have it be the primary mode, it was inevitable that their movements would be rigid and filled with all kinds of problems.

As Bai Chen floored the accelerator, the jeep sped up.

This was much faster than she had expected because she failed to control the strength needed to step on the accelerator in her drunken state.

And clearly, the forest wasnt a suitable place for racing

In the next second, a huge tree appeared in front of Bai Chens eyes.

She suddenly changed directions, but it took her a full second for her brain to give the order for her body to react. Therefore, it was an irredeemable situation.

Bang!

The jeep crashed into a tree, causing pin-like leaves to rain down. This caused it to stop.

Bai Chen was about to reverse the car when she suddenly saw the figure wearing a chameleon-like bionic smart armor appear in the distance.

This time, she carried a slightly complicated structure on her shoulder. It looked very heavy and resembled a rocket launcher.

Several members of the Old Task Force recognized this thing: First Citys AS-9 single-man anti-tank missile.

Ditch the car! Jiang Baimian shouted as she opened the car door and lunged out.

Bai Chen did the same, and Long Yuehong opened the door on the other side because it was closest to him.

Boom!

The AS-9 anti-tank missile failed to hit the jeep and instead hit the tree, snapping it in half and sending it cras.h.i.+ng to the ground.

This stunned Jiang Baimian.

With an approximate distance of only 100 meters between the two parties, the enemy actually failed to blow up their teams vehicle -a target as large as the jeep!

Perhaps it was because the recoil from the earlier strike had affected the other party, but Jiang Baimian instantly felt her drunkenness ease. Coupled with the cold brought about by Chaotic Right Hand, her thinking speed increased as she trembled.

Could it be that this is the first time this fellow is using a single-person anti-tank missile? The grenade she used previously deviated from the target by a meter or two Shes afraid of detonating the bomb in the car? No, since she has decided to attack us, she definitely has to choose what shes best at and also the safest method. Its impossible for her to treat this as a chance for actual combat practice

One of her abilities is to let us enter a drunken state, affecting our reaction speed and mobility. It doesnt lead to direct fatality In addition, theres another ability that allows our shots to take the initiative to avoid her body. Yes, this might be another manifestation of being drunk

In short, up until now, the characteristics of her ability are closer to control, and this kind of ability is perfect for firearms For her to enter the Mind Corridor, its unlikely that she hasnt fought anyone in the past. Logically speaking, her marksmans.h.i.+p can only be good and not weak

When I first used the gun, she accurately hit the hand I extended. It didnt seem like a lucky shot

I had a question from the beginning: Why did she take the initiative to do something and let herself be detected by the military exoskeletons comprehensive warning system? Back then, her best choice was to hide somewhere further and concealed and use our drunken state to kill one person after another

Combining all of this, although its ridiculous, I still think that she might be playing a cat-and-mouse game She is engrossed in such a battle and isnt in a hurry to finish us off, so she deliberately missed. Its only a threat and coercion

When shes done playing, she will truly use her full strength and strike ruthlessly This kind of behavior is difficult to understand, but its not too unacceptable for an Awakened Is this a manifestation of her price?

With this in mind, Jiang Baimians mind became heavy and numb once again. If it werent for the cold, she wouldve exhausted all her strength to think through a simple question.

The serious state of drunkenness returned.

Although Jiang Baimian had some guesses and felt that their lives wouldnt be in danger for the time being as long as they maintained a normal level of response, this was ultimately only a guess. It still needed further verification.

And even if the enemys price was about the same as her inference, she couldnt think of a way to exploit it.

Firstly, her brain wasnt being cooperative. Secondly, the enemy had been very cautious so far, maintaining a sufficient distance from them to prevent herself from being counterattacked.

The range of Chaotic Right Hand isnt enough, and the jeep cant be driven anytime soon. Theres no way to help me close the distance Think of a way to lure her to a distance of 100 meters? Jiang Baimian took advantage of the fact that the cold still had some effect. As she rolled to a nearby tree, she thought about what to do next.

When she arrived at her destination, she stopped. Then, she saw an item in the jeepit was a small speaker with a blue background and black surface.

This item that had fused with Shang Jianyaos aura was originally placed on the armrest, but it had now landed beside the brake due to the collision.

It could complete Thought Implantation through the music. This came from Shang Jianyao himself, and it overlapped with his ability. Therefore, Shang Jianyao left it with his teammates to enrich the measures they could take when encountering an enemy.

Jiang Baimians eyes lit up as she instantly came up with a solution. At the same time, she felt vexed and wanted to slap herselfwith her right hand.

She didnt immediately think of the small speaker to exploit it because of her drunken state!

With this in mind, Jiang Baimian shouted at Long Yuehong and Bai Chenwho had already found coverwith her engorged tongue, Everyone, think of a way to break through. Shes alone!

On the surface, she made Long Yuehong and Bai Chen run separately, making full use of the fact that there was only one enemy and that she could only pursue in one direction. In fact, she was using this to deceive the target, allowing the latter to divert her subsequent focus to prevent the three Old Task Force members from escaping. This made it conducive for her to return to the jeep and retrieve the small speaker.

The range of this items coverage depended on how far its voice could reach. It wasnt impossible to hit 100 meters or even 200 meters at maximum volume!

Ceningmis, main city area, in the small square.

Shang Jianyao looked around and said, Lets continue deeper. If we encounter the same situation that needs to be flushed with high-voltage electric current twice again, we can consider evacuating.

Even if we havent discovered the root of the problem here? Genava asked.

Shang Jianyao nodded seriously and calmly replied, Its what I said its not like I wont enter again after leaving. We can even temporarily leave Ceningmis and head south to enter the White Knights sphere of influence. We can then think of a way to charge up the electricity before returning.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Genava clapped. Then, the smart robot said in a slightly synthetic voice, Big White will definitely appreciate your current thoughts.

Shang Jianyao didnt respond and pointed forward. Continue.

After running for a distance and leaving the square, he suddenly stopped. Whats wrong? Genava asked.

Shang Jianyao looked up and said, Although I havent sensed a New World node, I suddenly feel like theres a huge vortex in the distance. The vortex is slowly becoming stronger!
