Chapter 140 - 44: Cleaning the Battlefield
Your reaction is quick, but hidden dangers are harder to guard against.
Sianweistan is not a panacea. After learning from a previous loss to this type of prosthetic with the Tiger Claw Gang, Lin Miao has become especially cautious. He doesn’t want to end up failing in an unexpected situation, having his chicken stolen by someone using Sianweistan.
So even though the front line was in the heat of battle, he only fired from the second floor, hidden.
When Tariq finally couldn’t hold back and charged out, the battle came to an end.
The death of the commander and overseer made the morale that the Night Wanderers had just mustered crumble completely. Without anyone holding them back, they started fleeing in their vehicles one after another. The shift from disadvantage to rout was almost instantaneous.
It’s no wonder they were so fearful. Have you seen anyone dare to stick their head out under machine gun fire to shoot back at you?
Have you seen someone who, even after half their body was blown apart, laughed while trying to bring you down with them with explosives?
There was even one guy whose forehead was slashed by shrapnel, scalp flying, yet he was still there smiling as he exchanged fire with you.
These corporate dogs average four people per team, fearless, covering each other, performing alternating shots, and trusting their comrades unconditionally. It’s as if they’ve fought countless battles together before, their coordinated combat effectiveness way better than the chaotic Night Wanderers.
The defeat was like a landslide. Had the Night Wanderers stubbornly resisted, they might have inflicted greater casualties on the players, but their choice to flee resulted in them being ruthlessly attacked by the pursuing players, causing severe casualties, trampling, and collision.
