The soldiers who were about to move forward with the stretcher suddenly saw the captain raise his hand and clench it into a fist.
They stopped immediately, including Xu Qing and his two teammates.
Cangdu's gesture changed again. He first spread out his fist with five fingers stretched out; then he put his fingers together and shook his palm.
This is the action gesture within their Tianjian team.
A fist means "stop action", an open palm means "disperse the formation", and shaking fingers means "alert".
Seeing this set of gestures, the soldiers and team members immediately dispersed and stood guard on the spot.
Even the heavy gunners on the two tanks quickly took their positions.
Only then did Cang Du say in a deep voice: "Come out."
The woman's voice came from the overturned tank: "We have wounded people inside and cannot move. Can you please come in?"
"Really? Then please move away a little..." Cangdu's voice was calm and peaceful, and no one noticed anything unusual.
There was a slight sound of movement in the car, and then the woman responded: "Okay, we're in the driver's seat."
Cangdu took off his strange tower-shaped long sword, and with a shake, the spikes on both sides of the long sword were all gathered and combined, widening the original blade. So the original straight sword has now become a big sword.
The ponytailed young man raised his sword high, gathered some strength, and slashed with his sword.
The black sword light was like a thin gauze, but it was solid and heavy. It cut through the chariot body, splitting the already damaged chariot into two.
Cangdu raised his foot and kicked the car chassis. Half of the car body rubbed against the rough ground and slid out, revealing a gap.
Looking through the gap, a woman in a Night Walker uniform was looking outside nervously. At her feet, there were two people wearing Night Walker soldier protective suits.
Everything was just as she said.
Cangdu waved his hand: "Come out."
The woman nodded, bent over and came out of the gap in the car body. As soon as she stepped on the hard ground, the strange sword, which had returned to its tower shape, was placed on her neck.
The woman's face changed: "What does this mean?"
Cangdu said calmly: "Don't be nervous, I need to verify your identity. Which team are you from? What's your name, and what's your Night Walker number?"
The woman's eyes flickered, her expression a little panicked: "Is this the time to ask these questions? Have you seen the soldiers behind me? They need treatment!"
Cangdu was unmoved: "Then let me change the question. Who attacked you?"
"Need I say more? We were attacked by criminals. What's wrong with you? Put your sword away!" The woman was already a little hysterical.
Cangdu looked at the woman calmly: "You are lying. Not far away, there is an unfired physical missile. And on your tank, the traces of battle left on the body indicate that the target of the attack on this tank is human, not the black people."
"Unless the Black People have learned to fight with our firearms, but you should know that is impossible."
"So, who are you?"
The blood drained from the woman’s face, her lips opened and closed, and she couldn’t utter a word for a long time.
Suddenly, her pupils dilated slightly.
Cangdu immediately sensed something was wrong. He bent his legs slightly, then suddenly straightened them out. He flew up and jumped away from where he was.
A beam of light passed by his feet and hit the ground next to the woman, creating a hole the size of a teacup.
Cangdu fell behind the woman. From beginning to end, the strange tower-shaped sword never left the woman's neck, but just circled around her neck.
This is why women did not dare to resist or escape.
Cangdu grabbed the woman's arm, using her as his shield, and then looked towards the source of the beam.
It was a building on the left side of the street. From a window on the third floor, in the deep and dim space, a Star Rifle was poking out.
Taking the previous attack as a signal, beams from star rifles and bullets from gunpowder rifles suddenly shot out from the buildings on both sides of the street and fell towards the Tianjian team on the street.
Fortunately, Cangdu had issued orders before, and the scattered team members prevented the ambushers from concentrating their firepower, while the team members who were already on alert all around were able to respond quickly.
Xu Qing and another War God Ascendant, without Cangdu's order, split up to the left and right and rushed into the buildings where the ambushes were hidden.
A moment later, screams and groans were heard from the buildings, and the firepower immediately weakened a lot.
The team members who were carrying the stretcher quickly found objects that could serve as cover and then launched a counterattack.
The heavy gunners on the two Falcon tanks even controlled the Star Element heavy artillery and fired directly at the building with the most concentrated firepower.
A heavy artillery shot blew a big hole in the building, and the gunfire inside immediately stopped.
Although the Sky Sword team was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, with the presence of the Ascendants and daily training, they were able to quickly suppress the enemy's firepower and begin to control the situation.
At this time, the entire wall on the top floor of a building opposite Cangdu suddenly exploded. Behind the rolling stones, a black shadow crashed out.
It was a three-dimensional weapon.
The bulky model, the rusty body, and even the thick smoke emitted from the thick metal smoke pipes at the back all indicate that this is a model that has been eliminated for a long time.
Even so, it still possessed a power that could not be underestimated, so when it rushed over using the pulleys on its feet, Cangdu suddenly slapped the woman's neck, knocking her unconscious.
After throwing the woman in the Night Walker uniform into the car, Cang Du ran in another direction to divert the three-dimensional armed forces.
Under the driver's skilled control technology, the three-dimensional armed vehicle did not slow down, but simply lowered its center of gravity and pressed the ground with one hand to change its direction.
Like skating on ice, it turned in front of the car and then chased after Cangdu.
Immediately, the armor behind him unfolded, and a rotary machine gun rose up under the control of a mechanical arm, with the muzzle pointed at Cangdu, and it fired!
The large-caliber metal bullets set off a metal storm. The bullets plowed through the ground, leaving potholes and lashed towards Cangdu's back like a long whip.
The ponytailed young man who was running suddenly moved, turned around, and rushed towards the three-dimensional figure.
The two mechanical arms of the three-dimensional weapon shook, and an alloy dagger popped out from the armor on the wrist. The center of gravity of the body lowered and rushed towards Cangdu.
Before he got close, Cangdu swung his sword in the air, and the blade on the sword flew out, leaving black shadows in the air.
They cut through the three-dimensional weapons, tore apart the fuselage, silenced the machine guns, and destroyed the engines!
When the three-dimensional armed force passed by Cangdu, the ponytailed young man turned around and drew his sword. A sword light containing a "shattering force field" cut through the leg armor of the three-dimensional armed force.
The machine, which was already broken into pieces, suddenly fell backwards.
It kept rolling on the ground, and finally crashed into a building and stopped.
Those spinning blades flew back and combined one by one on Cangdu's sword, turning the sword into a strange tower-shaped sword again.
Cangdu walked into the building and dismantled the cockpit, but unexpectedly, there was no one in the cockpit.
"unmanned?"
"interesting."
Cangdu dragged his sword back to the street. The battle was almost over. Xu Qing and other Ascendants were moving between buildings, chasing after those daring ambushers.
Not long after, Han Shu, who arrived after receiving the news, saw five or six captives, including the woman who pretended to be the Night Walker.
The soldiers of the Sky Sword team were pointing guns at them, so that the gang dared not act rashly. Their weapons had been confiscated, and the two Ascendants inside were wearing restraints.
Being guarded by the soldiers of the Sky Sword Squad, they could no longer perform any tricks.
“They’re gold diggers.”
Cang Du had already interrogated them and was now reporting to Han Shu: "According to their account, these guys attacked the White Oriole Squad. At the time, the White Oriole Squad was being chased by the Black People, and the two chariots got separated. They targeted one of the chariots, set a trap, and after the sneak attack was successful, they looted all the supplies on the chariot and the personnel."
"However, they were able to succeed because there were no Night Walkers on this chariot."
"These people are very greedy and used the communication system on the tank to send a distress signal. According to them, if a large group of people came, they would retreat."
"But when they saw my small team, they wanted to try their luck. As a result, it seems their luck was not so good."
Han Shu was smoking a cigarette, with no expression on his face. He listened quietly, and only asked after Cangdu's report, "What do you think?"
Cang Du glanced at the gold diggers intentionally or unintentionally: "There are many loopholes."
"First, the gold diggers openly robbed the fortress personnel, which is a taboo. Only those who have the strength to compete with the fortress dare to do so. But if they have the strength to compete with the fortress, who would be a gold digger?"
"Second, the reason why Nantong Town is open to gold prospectors is because we know that there are not many valuable recyclables in the town. Although night walkers are still exploring the town, the number is very small."
"Even if they send a signal, how do they know that rescue will come so quickly and timely? Under normal circumstances, they may wait for three to five days and still get no results."
"If you want to waste time, you might as well do something else. Besides, they just attacked a Falcon tank and have gained something. Normally, shouldn't they think about leaving as soon as possible?"
Han Shu blew out a smoke ring: "So?"
Cang Du narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, unless they knew that a convoy would pass by soon, they could get some benefits before running away. But the information they got was obviously not detailed enough. Otherwise, if they knew that it was a convoy passing by instead of a small group, I guess they would not be so crazy as to seek their own death."
"Simply put, this was a premeditated attack that was orchestrated by someone behind the scenes."
"Those people were just pawns. And now, they are discarded."
Han Shu laughed loudly and patted Cangdu's shoulder vigorously: "Okay, okay, you have made a lot of progress. As expected, a man will only grow up quickly after he has a woman he wants to protect."
The ponytailed young man who had been able to analyze things calmly just now, now shouted with a burning face: "Captain, what nonsense are you talking about..."
