Players Invade Cyberpunk

Chapter 1339: Chapter 435: Escalating Tensions

The Leonardo squad was assigned to Guines to carry out demolition tasks.

Riding a hovercar carrying a nuclear bomb with a 5 kiloton TNT equivalent, they arrived in Guines for covert deployment.

They planned to detonate it instantly when Horizon Mercenaries entered the city to battle these Cuban soldiers, burying everything beneath flames.

To avoid encountering the same situation as in Da Haguai, they didn’t even contact the Cuban armies on the ground because no one knew if Horizon Mercenaries had infiltrated the city.

According to the theory of a thousand cockroaches

When you spot one cockroach, there might already be a thousand hiding in the shadows.

But the reality is, whether or not you’ve seen the cockroaches, they have always been hiding in your house.

No matter which path they choose, it’s only a matter of time before they are discovered by the Cuban Corps under the wheelchair’s command.

Especially the first batch of deserters who know some insider details, their vigilance against Europeans is very high.

The wheelchair pointed at the hovercar approaching the city center, shouting to the anti-aircraft gun

"Shoot it down for me."

"Huh?!"

The technical soldier was dumbfounded, that was a hovercar from Europe; to fire at it?

"Are you deaf or can’t understand human language?"

The wheelchair grabbed the technical soldier and operated it himself

If the radar cannot lock on, then switch to manual!

They have also seized quite a bit of European equipment, and with one glance knew how to operate it.

Crack—

The anti-aircraft cannon spewed fire snakes, with proximity fuses causing ammunition to explode into clouds of black smoke in front of the hovercar, forcing it to stop hard.

Fragments striking the bulletproof panels caused huge sparks, making the entire hovercar shake violently inside.

This round of warning shots had the desired effect, as the hovercar dared not advance further but instead wobbled toward the reserved airport in the city to make an emergency landing.

The wheelchair seized the opportunity, leading people to surround them, bringing only the loyal deserters who viewed him as the boss and the players hidden within the army.

Only they would not turn their guns on the wheelchair under the coercion of the Europeans.

"FUCK! Are you crazy?"

As soon as the car door opened, the furious Leonardo squad charged out with guns.

But what greeted them was not a group of weak, dejected deserters who couldn’t even hold their guns steady, but a fully armed army.

Their big-caliber heavy machine guns, RPGs, and even plasma launchers were aimed at the hovercar.

Any slight movement would result in the squad dying from acute metal poisoning and high-temperature roasting; even heavy power armor couldn’t withstand such concentrated firepower.

Damn... who gave these bastards so much equipment?

Leonardo’s anger instantly cooled, not daring to speak loudly, his gaze cleared significantly.

Hands raised above his head

"Calm down, calm down, we are an international logistics squad here to maintain Guines’ information equipment, with no ill intent."

No ill intent?

That’s not for you to say.

These deserters and players, who had personally witnessed European doctors extracting human brains, would never believe a word from these Europeans.

The hacker in the squad quietly approached Leonardo and whispered

"Captain... our signal is being jammed, we can’t communicate externally, the distress signal can’t be sent out."

What!?

Leonardo’s heart sank, which indicated the other side was clearly targeting them.

Out of the crowd came the wheelchair, dressed in an officer’s uniform, and he became the focus among the people.

"Drop your weapons, I need to inspect."

Regardless of whether Leonardo agreed, the players from the crowd surged forward, forcibly stripping them of their arms, paralyzed their prosthetics, equipment, even power armor with high-voltage electrics.

"Ah!!!"

Leonardo didn’t even have time to resist; the whole squad was taken down in panic.

They never expected this bunch of Cuban trash would actually dare to act, instantly electrocuted, causing them to lose control of their bowel and urinary functions.

On the side, Sterling leading the Cuban deserters was also stunned.

Damn, where did this group come from?

Why so fierce?

They watched as the group, who seemed to be soldiers like them, took down Leonardo in just a few moves, then rushed into the hovercar to drag the driver and remaining squad members out for a beating.

Then they searched every nook and cranny of the hovercar, and even dismantled its entire exterior shell, finally finding a suspected nuclear bomb inside an equipment repair box.

The Gage indicator beeped frantically, confirming Family Joy’s suspicions were correct.

This group of madmen with no boundaries did not shy away from using nuclear weapons for strikes.

The reason they don’t use missiles is purely out of concern that military technology’s anti-aircraft radar would detect them, mistakenly interpret the war stance, and bomb them.

Moreover, Family Joy knew from past examples with Ying and Amei that there was a precedent.

Blue Peacock Plan

During the Cold War, a large number of nuclear landmines were deployed underground in cities of Germany and France, to stall time in case Soviet steel flood drove forward unstoppably.

Coupled with multiple instances in cyber world history where people used similar methods to carry nuclear bombs into a city and detonate, precaution is needed.

Sure enough, they caught it this time!

When the nuclear bomb was dragged out from the aft cabin and thrown into the crowd, and the box was opened revealing the detonation device, the Leonardo squad went ashen, deathly pale.

Only Sterling and others were still at a loss, not understanding what those buttons were for.

He could only lean near the wheelchair and whisper

"Boss, what’s... what’s this thing?"

"A nuclear bomb."

"Oh..."

He didn’t even know what a nuclear bomb was, only realizing after someone else reminded him causing him to wet his pants in fright.
