The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

He Changfeng left the dock with a smile, relying on the information reports from these old brothers.

His second stop was the slums of the southern city, where he sought out Lin Xiao, the former sharpshooter from the reconnaissance company.

Lin Xiao was only twenty-nine years old, but his marksmanship was renowned throughout the entire regiment.

But for the past three years, he has been struggling to make a living in order to support his sister who has a congenital heart condition.

Last year, his younger sister developed pneumonia. The hospital owned by Youren required 100,000 Youbi for treatment. Lin Xiao worked desperately to earn money, but still owed 80,000.

The hospital colluded with the mafia, threatening to kidnap his sister and force her to work as a hostess at the U-Theatre nightclub if he didn't pay back the money by the end of the month. Now Lin Xiao has no choice but to hide in the slums.

When He Changfeng arrived, he saw a large group of gangsters fighting with him.

The matter was easily resolved. He Changfeng took out 10 yuan to pay off the debt on the spot. The gangsters who had been beaten and were crying for their mothers eventually took the money and left feeling aggrieved.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Lin Xiao didn't know how to express it.

He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to He Changfeng!

After a flurry of activity, He Changfeng finally managed to help her up, and then patted his chest generously: "I'll cover all your sister's medical expenses from now on!"

Such a powerful yet touching speech brought tears to Lin Xiao's eyes, and he joined the company without saying a word!

His first task was to take the money and go find his former comrades.

"I can still contact five brothers from the reconnaissance company. I'll send them a message now, and they should all assemble at the vehicle yard first thing tomorrow morning!"

He Changfeng first sent his sister to He Jiang's place for resettlement.

He Jiang had just finished cleaning up the empty rooms in his house and settled his family when He Changfeng rushed off to the western suburbs quarry to find the third key figure, Zhao Dachui.

Zhao Dachui, 36, was originally a platoon leader in the engineering battalion. He was skilled in demolition, repairing engineering machinery, and could even repair and modify various light and heavy weapons...

Three years ago, U-Theatre invaded, and his wife died in the fighting, leaving only his twelve-year-old son.

Last year, my son was crossing the road when he was hit by a sports car driven by a U-Renaissance officer, breaking his leg. The officer not only refused to pay compensation but also accused the Dongbang people of blocking the road, broke two of Zhao Dachui's ribs, and drove away.

Zhao Dachui had accumulated a mountain of debt to pay for his son's leg treatment, so he had no choice but to work at the quarry.

The foreman was a traitor who had sided with U-Theatre, and he withheld three months' wages from him.

When He Changfeng arrived at the quarry entrance, he ran into a fellow villager who was delivering food. The villager said that Zhao Dachui had gone to ask for his wages that day, but the foreman and four of his lackeys surrounded him in the office.

He Changfeng rushed in and saw four lackeys being pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by Zhao Dachui!

The foreman lost all his temper and immediately knelt down in a cowardly manner.

They took 80,000 yuan from the safe and handed it over to Zhao Dachui.

"Hmph! I'm not robbing anyone, I'm only taking what I'm entitled to!"

As he spoke, Old Zhao pulled out 3 yuan, threw the remaining 5 yuan on the ground, turned around and left with a flourish, just in time to meet He Changfeng's gaze.

Arriving at a corner, He Changfeng asked him if he wanted to work as an actor.

Touching the incredibly advanced electromagnetic pistol in his hand, the old man grinned menacingly without hesitation, "I've been waiting for this day for three years!"

There are still twenty-seven of my old comrades here at the quarry. They all came here to mine stones after being discharged from the army because they couldn't make a living. I'll give the order, and I'll take them all over to report for duty tomorrow!

The next morning, just as dawn broke, more than 400 veterans, who had made an appointment, gathered in front of the abandoned car park, led by Chen Hu, Lin Xiao, and Zhao Dachui.

At first glance, they were stunned by its appearance.

A 14-meter-high all-metal wall, topped with machine gun emplacements?!

"No way, you guys are this blatant even on U-Renaissance territory?!"

"And you're saying this is a junkyard?!"

Many people felt uneasy; who would have thought that what lay before them was a reinforced wall gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen... a junkyard?!

"Old He's entourage..."

"Ahem, the boss didn't hide his strength when he saw you coming, so he's showing you his power..."

Normally, these things are hidden.

The crowd looked at each other, and those who had been hesitant suddenly felt more at ease.

The heavy, explosion-proof electric gate slid open with a rumble, and a group of people filed in. As soon as they entered the courtyard, most of them froze on the spot.

He Changfeng was no exception, because the place was not like this at all yesterday when he left!

When the hell did they start laying metal on the floor?!

"My goodness, is this where we'll be living from now on?"

A younger veteran reached out and touched the metal object floating on the roadside, so shocked that he couldn't even speak properly.

The group continued deeper into the area and came to a warehouse, where they went up the steps.

Just three steps across the threshold, the more than four hundred people stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide open, as if they had been frozen in place, completely dumbfounded.

Let's put aside whether the mechanical exoskeletons in the left and right rows are real.

The gun racks standing neatly in the center were all models they had never seen before, and all of them were labeled as electromagnetic weapons!

It looks like a sci-fi movie prop, but it feels cold and hard to the touch—it's all real!

On the open ground opposite the gun rack, six all-terrain armored assault vehicles were parked neatly.

The vehicle body is a matte gray with low visibility, and the armor plates are thick enough to stop ordinary armor-piercing rounds. A twin-mounted electromagnetic heavy machine gun is mounted on the roof, and a thick anti-collision shovel is welded to the front. The tires are solid reinforced tires that are puncture-resistant, so they can withstand several grenades without being penetrated.

On the shelf next to the vehicle, there were neatly stacked electromagnetic grenades, smart mines, anti-armor electromagnetic rocket launchers, and even two portable electromagnetic cannons in the far corner!

"Damn it!"

With these weapons, no matter how many U-23 helicopters and tanks come, they'll all be grounded!

If the descriptions and instructions on the weapons are all as detailed, then they will surely win this battle!

"Old He, tell us what happened!"

"Did you collaborate with aliens?!"

He Changfeng touched his nose. "Where did this alien come from?"

If aliens existed, we'd probably all be under their control.

"Hey, where did all this equipment come from?"

I don't recall any countries having such a high level of technology.

"Yes, I remember that just two years ago, Europe had only just made a breakthrough in gunpowder weapons."

"You..."

Everyone was puzzled, and He Changfeng didn't know how to explain it either.

What else could he say?

After seeing these weapons that appeared out of nowhere, Lu Qianwei's background became increasingly unclear to him.

He himself couldn't explain it!

But they've already boarded the pirate ship. If the other side wants to use them to overthrow Yu-Jin, then they have no choice but to do it!

"Alright, the boss will tell you about these things later." He Changfeng waved his hand, changing the subject.

"The BOSS said before that you should familiarize yourselves with the weapons first."

So pick whichever one you like, we'll try them out at the training ground later!

Upon hearing this, the group of veterans stopped whispering and quickly scattered to pick out their favorite weapons.

Chapter 268 The Long Sword and the Storm 7

Time flies like sand, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The abandoned car yard is now referred to by insiders as the "anvil base".

Outside the metal wall, Lu Qianwei constructed a visual camouflage, so from the outside it still looked like a desolate, dilapidated place filled with rusted car shells.

But inside the walls, the watchtowers silently rotated their scanning radars, and the automatic turrets glowed with a ghostly blue standby light under the camouflage netting, making the entire base resemble a lurking steel behemoth.

Deep within the base, the vast simulation training grounds are bustling day and night.

At this moment, a high-intensity comprehensive combat exercise is underway here.

"Team A reports that they have reached the 'broken bridge' area and have not detected any enemy heat source signals."

"Done!" Chen Hu's voice came through the built-in communicator on the exoskeleton helmet.

His assault team, Team A, consisted of twelve men, all equipped with the "Hound-II" basic exoskeleton.

The dark gray paint blends almost seamlessly into the surrounding broken concrete environment.

This exoskeleton provides basic assistance and protection, with ceramic composite armor plates in key areas capable of withstanding small-caliber rifle bullets.

"Roger that. Remain on high alert and proceed as planned. Team B, report your positions."

He Changfeng, who was in charge of the Red Team in this exercise, stood in the command tower at the edge of the training field.

In front of them were several floating light screens, displaying the real-time location, vital signs, and battlefield situation of each group.

"Group B in position, 'Old Power Plant' third floor, the highest point."

Visibility is good, covering the area from the "broken bridge" to the "waste pile".

"Done!" Lin Xiao's response was concise and calm.

His precision marksman team consists of only four people, but they are equipped with the "Peregrine" lightweight reconnaissance sniper exoskeleton, which not only has greater mobility but also integrates advanced optical camouflage modules and a variety of sensing devices.

The "Stinger" electromagnetic sniper rifles in their hands can accurately penetrate the side of a light armored vehicle from two kilometers away.

"Group C, the pre-set ambush point on the southeast side of the 'waste pile' has been completed."

Three Claymore smart mines have been deployed, and anti-armor teams are ready.

"complete!"

Zhao Dachui's voice carried the solidity characteristic of a combat engineer.

His support and demolition team, C, was equipped with a heavier exoskeleton and carried a large amount of engineering equipment and heavy firepower.

Their signature weapons are the "Thor" man-portable electromagnetic railgun and the "Swarm" disposable electromagnetic rocket launcher.
