death of hope

Chapter 255 "Enterprise Warrior" (171) Pursuit

planet libra karius,
A human colony planet still under development,

The preliminary ecological renovation project was successfully completed two years ago, the oxygen content reached the standard, and entered the stage of continuous migration of immigrants.
The official assessment level of the Federal Migration Office,

The livability is B+, the value of agricultural development is B+, the value of resource mining is A, and the value of interstellar routes is A+.

In time, it will become a prosperous capital.

Colonial energy business bid winning company: McMillan Group.

The immigrants came to the new world by spaceship. The pioneers and troublemakers arrived together. The passengers on the immigration ship included many lone wolf criminals and bandit groups looking for opportunities to make a fortune in the new colony.

In a meeting of McMillan’s board of directors half a month ago, Alkin, director of the Libra Karius star energy project, complained;
Many natural gas pipeline construction sites and warehouses of the second phase of the Karius project suffered large-scale theft one after another.
Expensive mechanical equipment was dismantled, stolen and sold on the black market. The hired security guard was shot dead by unidentified militants. In an attack on a dormitory building, 1 person died, 3 people were injured, and 5 senior engineers were killed. When it came to the kidnapping, the kidnapper asked for 1000 million Thai coins.

The person in charge of the project, Baron Alkin, is a descendant of aristocrats. He has a rich family and owns part of McMillan's shares. He is one of the richest people in the ranking. After getting the money, he broke his promise immediately and asked for more ransom.

After paying 2000 million in cash, the robbers still did not release the hostages. The baron felt that he had been deceived, and the mercenaries he sent were inexperienced and ran around like headless chickens.

Twelve hours later, the bodies of five engineers were found by patrolling rangers. Their bodies were tied to stakes with thick hemp ropes, their heads were cut off and placed on the muddy ground, and they were wearing orange hard hats in a wicked way. The Lius natural gas pipeline project has come to a standstill.

One of the deceased, Senior Engineer Kramer, was the son-in-law of the project leader, Baron Alkin,

What's more terrible is that the baron's grandson is about to be born in three months. Now that the daughter has become a widow, the grandson has lost his father, and the whole family is immersed in grief.

Even if you gamble your own equity and family reputation, you will not hesitate to gamble this revenge. The federal special police are inefficient and cannot be counted on, and the mercenaries are repeatedly untrustworthy. Baron Alkin decided to ask the McMillan headquarters for corporate soldiers The elite go out.

The Baron is popular, and the board of directors voted unanimously,

Since the Terra federal police are not competent for the security work in the colony, the company will send professionals to assist, and the military presence here in the future will be a matter of course.

Within 24 hours of the delivery of five elite squads to Karius, the local gangsters were wiped out.

These corporate fighters don't care about any federal laws. There is no arrest warrant, no trial, and no evidence. As long as they are suspected of endangering the interests of McMillan and carry out violent arrests, the resisters will be killed immediately.

The first four days were fruitful, killing more than a hundred bandits. On the fifth day of the operation, the informant provided the kidnappers' hiding information, and the Motorola Assault Squad and the Alpha Tactical Squad were ordered to attack.

3 hours later, in a certain village,
With a loud bang,

The deflagration orange fireball rose into the sky, and the smoke shot straight into the sky. This residential house, which was the gang's weapon arsenal, had been razed to the ground by the precision-guided bomb dropped by the drone.

The firefight ended after only 5 minutes, and the kidnappers left 8 corpses and fled the village.

The two wheeled armored vehicles of the Motorola team circled the village, using high-power speakers to play voices in a loop, warning the villagers to stay at home and not to go out, waiting for them to get off the vehicle and knock on the door one by one to investigate. The drone hovered in the sky.

At the same time, the Alpha team went out of the village in two other wheeled armored vehicles to chase down the fleeing bandits.

At a distance of 1500 meters, the 40mm multi-barreled rapid-fire gun mounted on the turret continuously fired depleted uranium armor-piercing shells and high-explosive shells, smashing a fleeing off-road vehicle into parts and leaving no bones of the crew.

Another pickup truck was also damaged, and the surviving kidnapper, who appeared to be injured, got out of the vehicle and fled to a nearby wilderness.

"The No. [-] vehicle hit the target, and the enemy fled eastward!"

"Oh hoo!" Shaft cheered in the team channel: "This gun is really cool!"

"Save ammunition! This thing has a high rate of fire, and you will be gone after a few hundred rounds!"

"The public's ammunition, what a pity you are!"

"Stop making noise!" Captain Lynch ordered loudly, "I'll open the way, and the No. [-] car keeps a distance and covers to follow!"

"Be careful! I saw a figure! There is an ambush! Launch decoy bombs!"

"Someone is targeting us with anti-armor weapons! The coaxial machine gun can't hit us, go out and cover the vehicle!"

"The drone image is transmitted to the head-mounted display, and we are entering the encirclement."

"Big beard, you left and I right."

"receive!"

A masked gangster on the front right is holding a bazooka and waiting for a rabbit, surrounded by two riflemen for cover,

The cabin door of No. 12.7 armored vehicle was opened, and Wang Hongye got out to operate the top machine gun. He used the mechanical sight to roughly aim and shoot continuously. The [-]mm machine gun bullets with powerful kinetic energy tore the rocket launcher into pieces, and the rifle bullets hit the machine gun shield. Sparks splashed out, and the remaining two were also mercilessly harvested by large-caliber bullets.

The sniper Mehmadi opened the bipod of the sniper rifle and shot accurately under violent turbulence, killing two bandits. The two men were operating Javelin missiles. If they hit the weak top armor, the consequences would be disastrous.

"It's done. Get back in the car and close the hatch."

"Woohoo! That's great! We broke into a den of thieves! Then we leveled the ambush!"

While Shaft was getting carried away, a violent explosion occurred at the bottom of the No. 2 vehicle, and the 15-ton wheeled armored vehicle was overturned and buckled upside down on the ground.

"IED! (Improvised Explosive Device, Roadside Bomb)!"

Lynch became nervous: "Car No. 2, how are you all?"

"This car is so fucking resistant!" Shaft spat bloody saliva, "Don't worry, boss, he's not dead, he was just crawling outside with his mouth full of blood from the fall."

"Don't come out yet! I'll reverse the car and go back to cover!"

Mehmadi climbed out of the hatch first, and just as he was spitting sand and reaching out to pull the other two out, there was another loud bang.

It turned out that a gangster wearing camouflage uniforms hid in a pit and escaped the detection of the drone. He suddenly stood up and fired a penetrating F-type rocket towards the No. [-] car. The active reaction armor covering the car body popped out in time and cut off the metal. jet,
But this rocket is also an upgraded version. The tungsten alloy core in the tandem warhead penetrates the armor, and metal fragments splash around in the car. Fortunately, the members are all wearing heavy combat uniforms and are not injured.

The experienced Lynch opened the side shooting hole, shot and killed the gangster who was about to escape when he fired a rocket with his rifle, and then shouted:

"Fire smoke bombs for cover! Carry only light equipment, abandon the car! Get out of the car! Follow me!"

One of the two wheeled armored vehicles was damaged and the other was injured. The six members of the team gathered at the gravel beach on the right side of the road.

"Shaft, switch the perspective of the drone and look at the target location."

"Those grandsons are running along the path in the southeast. It's just walking, and they didn't run far. Do you want to chase them?"

"Baron Alkin wants us to pursue it to the end, to catch the mastermind who kidnapped his son-in-law, and to die if we can't."

"We can only walk on the gravel beach on foot. I don't know how many bombs and mines are planted on the road. The Motorola team can't help. Fortunately, we have information superiority and air superiority."

"At this point, there is no other way, let's go after it!"

Lodayev looked at the smoking wheeled armored vehicle reluctantly; "The new car was destroyed before it could sit on it! These sinister bastards!"
