“…We lost contact with Team A! I repeat, we lost contact with Team A!”
“Damn it, what kind of monster is that!”
“Get the bazooka! Quick! Sh*t!”
“AHHH, my leg!”
The battlefield was reversed in an instant. Jiang Chen’s team, who was originally forced into a dead end, suddenly reappeared as a steel monster. The bullets that hit him barely scratched him, and the minigun on his arm shredded any flesh that attempted to stop him.
The radio was filled with the sound of gunfire. After the defense was broken, there was the screams of the soldiers, and then a jumbled static sound. On this polar expedition vessel several tens of kilometers away, everyone in the temporary command post fell silent.
According to the frontline news they could only draw one conclusion.
The mission failed.
At the same time, there was a question in everyone’s hearts.
The Poisonous Arrow Mercenary Corps was part of the Arrow Military. One of the top ranked mercenary groups widely active in hot spots such as Ukraine and Syria. Whether it was equipment or tactics, the Poisonous Arrow Mercenary Corps could be considered impeccable elites. However, what exactly happened that turned the originally advantageous situation into a one-sided massacre in a matter of seconds?
Could it be…
Inside the vessel, everyone looked at each other and everyone saw deep concern from the other person’s eyes.
Could it be that Jiang Chen had found something in that fortress, such as the “miracle weapon” that the Nazis had not yet used?
“It’s ridiculous.” A lanky Jewish man threw his hat on the table and pulled his collar, starting to feel irritated. “Fergus, go lower the air conditioner, it’s too hot.”
“Yes.” The man who was called Fergus took a deep breath, nodded nervously, and walked toward the remote control by the window.
At the same time, there was a harsh fricative sound from the radio, as if someone picked up a mic from the ground. A moment later, a hoarse voice transmitted, and everyone in the room held their breath.
“… buzz … oh, good evening.”
Silence lasted for a few seconds and no one responded.
“…Not talking to me? It seems that you are not going to say hello to me.”
“It doesn’t matter. I will find you.”
“In addition, congratulations to you. If you started this ‘party’ to provoke me, then you have already succeeded.”
“…”
Communication was cut off and silence lasted in the cabin for a long time until deep anxiety and panic creeped into everyone’s heart…
“We must get out of here right now!” The thin Jewish man got up and left his seat. “Leave now.”
“Calm down, Mr. Oliver.” The man who sat at the top of the table reverberated. “He’s just bluffing. He can’t position us just by radio.”
Oliver smiled and shrugged.
“Calm down? Yes. Then? What should we do next?”
The cabin fell into silence again.
Yes, what should we do next?
After a long absence, the man who sat at the top of the table spoke again.
“They are still in Antarctica. We’ll request reinforcements from the headquarter. In any case, we must acquire the Golden Apple!”
“Yes.” Everyone there agreed.
“Dismiss for now.” The man waved his hand.
All of them pulled their chairs up and left the meeting table.
The man leaned against the seat and stroked the knuckle of his right hand. On his index finger, he wore a uniquely shaped ring engraved with two inverted letter “Vs” and an uppercase “G” inscribed in the middle.
…
Jiang Chen smashed the mic into the ground and stood up from the snow.
The roaring wind wrapped the ice flakes and scratched the shell of the power armor. Behind him, blood dyed this white snow field into a terrifying redness. Corpses collapsed in the pool of blood, and their rifles scattered on the ground
Against T-3 power armor’s high-mobility and light weapons protection, these unknown armed forces did not have a fighting chance. Because they were fighting in the polar environment, they did not expect to encounter a heavy armored unit. The only two rocket launchers that could pose a threat to the power armor were quickly destroyed by Jiang Chen’s minigun.
When Jiang Chen was beating the mercenaries, the remaining five “Sea Lions” were not standing around. They followed behind Jiang Chen and launched an assault on the group of unknown armed forces.
Their comrades died one after another. These people finally became scared and began to withdraw. However, Jiang Chen would not let them escape and quickly finished the polar armored vehicles with rockets. They could only escape on foot.
However, it would be nonsense to outrun a power armor just on foot.
Especially in snow.
What happened next could already be guessed.
The unknown armed forces that scattered and fled fell into pools of blood in Jiang Chen’s pursuit.
To his surprise, people escaped, but no one surrendered. He tried to catch one or two captives, even if they couldn’t disclose their employers, he could at least ask them what mercenary group they were from, and then follow the evidence. Unfortunately, all those who lost their combat ability chose suicide without exception.
From the very beginning, they did not intend to become prisoners…
Not far away, Sea Lions were cleaning the battlefield. The bodies were taken to the polar car and transported into the fortress. They found an empty room, and the bodies were thrown in and gasoline was poured over them. A total of 200 people without any clues to their identity.
“They are mercenaries and their identities cannot be confirmed.” With his rifle, Garrett walked beside Jiang Chen.
Although they won, the veteran’s face couldn’t see any sign of relief. When they came, they were ten people. Now, there were only five left. The deputy captain, Keynes, along with his brothers were all people he selected.
“It will be confirmed soon.” Jiang Chen smiled, opened the holographic screen, and pushed the map to Garrett.
Looking at the red dot on the map, Garrett was shocked and asked.
“This is?”
“It is the position of their command post. They won’t be able to guess we can track the radio signal.”
Just a few seconds after talking to the other party’s command center, Jiang Chen has already positioned them on the map. For the time being, it could be confirmed that they were located at the sea near Ross Bay. Due to the Sky Eye X1 satellite not being able to capture the images in Antartica, they couldn’t track where they were exactly.
However, that’s okay. He’ll make a trip down regardless.
“I’m going to kill them!” Garrett said while gritting his teeth.
“No, you take your people back to the station first.” Then, Jiang Chen looked northward. “I will personally go and greet them.”
“But—” Garrett also wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Jiang Chen.
“This is an order.”
Jiang Chen stared at Garrett with an incontestable look, then turned to the polar vehicle.
