Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Armament

Just then, an elite-class Blood Hunter Beast, standing three meters tall, suddenly leaped down from the top of a building up ahead.

SCREECH~

Jing Chuan slammed his foot on the brake.

The entire convoy screeched to a halt.

Long Ming’s heart sank. He had scouted this area just yesterday, and there were clearly no monsters. ’So much for a clean run.’

"Fuck, it has a death wish."

Seeing that the situation was bad, Jing Chuan prepared to get out and take on the monster.

"I’ll handle it."

Long Ming opened the car door and jumped straight out, then raised his bracer and tapped it.

WHOOSH!

The Dark Blade instantly materialized in Long Ming’s hand.

Gripping the Dark Blade, Long Ming activated the Night Ghost’s power-assist system and charged toward the attacking Blood Hunter Beast at incredible speed.

Jing Chuan was startled to see Long Ming confront it head-on.

The Blood Hunter Beast swiped its sharp claws at Long Ming.

Long Ming’s expression hardened. He sidestepped the attack and used the momentum to slash with his blade.

CRACK!

The Blood Hunter Beast’s claw was instantly severed.

"AWOOO!"

The Blood Hunter Beast let out a piercing shriek and crashed heavily to the ground.

Long Ming quickly regained his footing, spun around, and charged the fallen beast.

The Blood Hunter Beast struggled back to its feet, opened its gaping, bloody maw, and lunged at Long Ming.

Long Ming dodged the bite with a quick sidestep, gripped the Dark Blade with both hands, and brought it down with savage force.

CRACK!

The blade split the Blood Hunter Beast’s neck, and its head dropped directly to the ground.

Seeing this, Jing Chuan and the others gasped.

Even though the monster was only an elite, it was by no means an easy kill. They never expected Long Ming to finish it in just a few moves. ’That’s just monstrous.’

"Let’s go!"

After finishing off the Blood Hunter Beast, Long Ming immediately returned to the jeep and spoke to Jing Chuan.

"Right."

Jing Chuan hurriedly started driving.

...

「A short time later.」

Long Ming led Jing Chuan and the others to the entrance of the supply depot.

"Out, quickly."

Long Ming opened his door and jumped out.

Without a word, Jing Chuan and the others all jumped out as well.

Long Ming led them charging into the supply depot.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everything was untouched.

Then, Long Ming led everyone to a collection of wooden crates.

"What’s this?"

Jing Chuan stared at the rows of wooden crates, asking in bewilderment.

Long Ming went forward, pried open a crate, and revealed sets of exoskeletal mechanical armor.

"Whoa! Exoskeletal mechanical armor!"

"We’ve hit the jackpot."

...

Jing Chuan and the others exclaimed excitedly.

"Suit up, and load the rest onto the transport trucks,"

Long Ming ordered Jing Chuan and his men.

"Right, let’s move!"

Jing Chuan hurried forward, grabbing a set of exoskeletal mechanical armor to put on.

The other soldiers swarmed forward as well.

Soon, all one thousand soldiers had equipped the exoskeletal mechanical armor and loaded the remaining crates onto the transport trucks.

The entire time, Long Ming kept a close watch on their surroundings, afraid of being discovered.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and no one showed up.

Seeing that they were done, Long Ming said to Jing Chuan and his men.

"Let’s go, get in the vehicles!"

"Right, let’s get out of here!"

Jing Chuan quickly replied.

They drove off, heading toward the rendezvous coordinates.

However, not long after their convoy departed, they ran into an advancing armored unit from the Second Legion.

Long Ming’s eye twitched, but he remained calm, raising his hand to wave and calling out a friendly greeting.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

A burly man in a military uniform, riding in the lead armored vehicle, saw Long Ming’s greeting and waved back in response.

The two groups quickly went their separate ways.

"Zhao Zhong, who were those guys? Friends of yours?"

After waving, a skinny man with a pockmarked face asked doubtfully.

"No? Aren’t they your friends?"

Zhao Zhong looked at Liu Jia in astonishment.

"I don’t know them. Wait, what battle group are they from? I’ve never seen them before. And their gear is that good?"

Liu Jia was completely baffled as well.

"Forget it. Don’t overthink it. Lord Qian Wei is waiting for us."

Zhao Zhong was just as confused.

"Alright!"

Liu Jia didn’t say anything more.

...

「Meanwhile.」

Long Ming stuck his head out the window. Seeing that the soldiers from the Second Legion weren’t pursuing them, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew~

"Why do you look so nervous?"

Jing Chuan asked, looking at Long Ming with confusion.

"Of course I’m nervous."

Long Ming shook his head helplessly.

"Wait a second... don’t tell me we actually poached this gear from their territory!"

The look on Jing Chuan’s face was priceless.

"You guessed it."

"So that’s why we ran into the Second Legion."

"Forget it. Don’t worry about it. Let’s just hurry up and meet with Luoxue and the others."

Long Ming said, now in a good mood.

"Okay."

Jing Chuan quickly stepped on the gas.

...

「Half an hour later.」

Long Ming and his group arrived at the designated location in their vehicles.

They saw Luoxue, Zhihan, and others already waiting for them. On the ground were crates of new-model assault rifles and ammunition.

"Jing Chuan, you’re here! Look at the weapons we found!"

Zhihan shouted excitedly to Jing Chuan.

"Nice, but we had a pretty good haul ourselves. Take a look at this."

Jing Chuan waved a hand at his subordinates.

One by one, the soldiers unloaded crates of exoskeletal mechanical armor.

"So much mechanical armor?"

Zhihan and the others stared, dumbfounded.

"Long Ming led us to a stash he knew about!"

Jing Chuan explained, grinning from ear to ear.

Luoxue glanced at Long Ming, then said to everyone.

"Get geared up."

"Yes, ma’am!"

Zhihan and the others rushed forward to grab their new equipment.

Just then, Long Ming walked over to Luoxue’s side and asked.

"Is everyone here?"

"Not yet. Fu Fuqing’s group hasn’t arrived. We’ll wait a little longer."

"Alright!"

"But you did very well this time. With this exoskeletal mechanical armor, our strength will take a massive leap."

Luoxue praised him, clearly very satisfied.

"Just got lucky."

Long Ming also felt a little fortunate.

Just then, a loud rumbling sound echoed from the distance.

Hearing the noise, Long Ming and the others instinctively looked up.

They saw five massive machines approaching. They were CSW-01 Arachnatanks, built from black metal and shaped like spiders. Each one moved on six thick, mechanical legs. Mounted on their "heads" were a massive 120mm cannon, a 20mm autocannon, and a 12-tube rocket launcher.

"What are those?"

...

Zhihan and the others’ hearts seized up at the sudden appearance of these war machines.

But in the next second, they saw Shen Hu and others walking alongside the machines.

They immediately cried out in delight.

"It’s Fu Fuqing’s group!"

...

Long Ming was also surprised. He hadn’t expected them to find weapons like these.

The five Arachnatanks soon pulled up in front of Luoxue’s group. The cockpit hatches opened, and Fu Fuqing and Jiang Heng climbed out.

"We’re back."

"You found these?"

Luoxue asked, looking at Fu Fuqing.

"That’s right!"

Fu Fuqing replied with a smile, glancing over at Long Ming.

"Well done. Get your people geared up."

Luoxue then said to Fu Qing.

After hearing Luoxue’s words, Fu Fuqing’s gaze fell upon the crates of exoskeletal mechanical armor. He froze for a moment, then asked with a deep frown.

"Who found these?"
