Xu Mo perceived that the horse carriage Mia and Elsa were in was moving forward. After they drove forth for a distance, a few small cars came toward them.
The cars in the Subterranean World weren't like the sedans in Xu Mo's previous life. They looked more like tricycles but bigger. The carriage behind them had windows, and each car could carry four to five people. They were simple and practical, just like the improved version of horse carriages.
There were many children seated in the car, all of them chatting happily. On each of the cars, there'd be a woman taking care of the children.
"Cobra." Xu Mo's pupils contracted. He saw that the driver of the last car was Cobra. Were these children abducted while not knowing anything?
Elsa's horse carriage passed by that car, and the woman in the car called out, "Miss Elsa."
"Elder Sister Elsa." All the children greeted enthusiastically as well. Clearly, they knew Elsa too. Elsa also replied to them warmly.
Xu Mo's mind started to move rapidly. He couldn't figure out what the situation was.
If these children were abducted, why did they not know it?
Did Cobra have his people play the role of the drivers?
Elsa knew the children, so what relation did they have?
The car drove in this direction, and Xu Mo released his perception to the maximum. He then saw some suspicious people stopping. Moreover, people in the rooms on both sides of the street also suddenly stood in front of the windows. They were holding guns.
"This is a trap!" Xu Mo's countenance turned grim and said to Seth, who was next to him. "Seth, this is a trap. We mustn't take action!"
"Trap?" Seth was stunned for a moment. The car below them was already getting close to their location.
Bang!
At that moment, a gunshot rang out from outside when the car was only ten or more meters away from them. Ye Qingdie had fired a shot, killing the driver of the car at the very front.
Screams rang out and the street was instantly thrown into chaos. The women taking care of the children pulled them out of the car and ran toward the back.
In the far distance, Elsa and Mia also heard the sound of gunshots. They then turned back and looked over, feeling a little worried.
"Elsa." A middle-aged man walked over. Elsa looked toward him and said, "Father, what happened?"
"It should be a criminal group. The law enforcement team has received news and things will be fine. You go back first," said the middle-aged man to Elsa.
"Alright." Elsa nodded. The children also came running back.
Bang! Another gunshot rang out, causing Elsa and Mia's hearts to skip a beat.
Another driver was shot down. At the same time, the sound of shattering glass rang out. Little Qi and Fang Ze, who were on the opposite side, jumped down from the second floor from the window, landing on the ground. They then walked toward the car on the opposite side.
Xu Mo's countenance didn't seem too good. They had taken action.
"Xu Mo, stay up here and don't go down," Seth said to Xu Mo. He believed Xu Mo's words that this was a trap, but there was no choice anymore. He jumped out of the window and landed heavily on the ground.
Xu Mo hesitated for a second and jumped down after him. He was the only person who could lock onto the enemy's position. If he were to hide up there, the other people would be in a lot of danger.
"Don't go out! Hide!" Xu Mo shouted to the few of them. Many people appeared upstairs firing shots at Little Qi and Fang Ze, who went out first. Both of them were hit. If they weren't wearing battle armor, they'd have been killed.
"There's an ambush!" Clearly, both of them realized that and were running toward the stores on both sides to dodge.
Bang!
Another gunshot rang out and a figure fell from the second floor, shot dead by Ye Qingdie.
The people on the streets all went to hide. No one said anything and the children were also running back. Strand Street, which was still bustling with activities not long ago, was now empty of passersby.
Ye Qingdie and the others realized that this wasn't an abduction case but a hunting operation that was specially targeting them!
However, who had set this up?
Amongst these people, there were people from the law enforcement team as well as Cobra's men.
There were people from both sides of the law.
Cobra walked out and headed to the front. He was wearing a helmet. When he removed his clothes, it revealed a full-body mechanical armor. At this moment, his hands and legs broke down, and the sharp mechanical limbs emitted savage auras, giving one an oppressive feeling.
Bang!
A bullet cut through the air, and Cobra's eyes stared into the distance, his head tilting slightly to the side. The bullet brushed past his head and didn't hit. Clearly, his reaction speed was also very fast.
Xu Mo sensed that many people were heading to where Ye Qingdie was hiding. They were clearly going to deal with her. Their predicament was very dangerous.
In his perception, there was a person upstairs leaning against the window, within his shooting range. They had to deal with all the shooters to be able to deal with Cobra.
After expanding his perception to the maximum, everything within the street entered his mind. He then reached out his hand and fired a shot at that window.
Bang.
It was a headshot and the person's corpse slumped against the window.
"Amazing," Seth praised him. However, Cobra was running straight for where Xu Mo was. His metallic mechanical limbs let out piercing sounds as they rubbed against the ground.
Bang!
Another sniper shot was fired. But despite running at high speed, Cobra was still very agile. His mechanical legs were even more agile compared to real legs, and he dodged the bullet.
However, at this moment, a sound rang out from above. Glass flew out in pieces as a silver-masked man came leaping down, slashing his origin energy sword toward Cobra.
It was as if Cobra had eyes growing on the top of his head. The mechanical blade that his arm turned into slashed up toward the sky, colliding with the other party's sword and causing sparks to splatter all around.
A few people extended their heads out in a probe and fired shots at the silver-masked guy concurrently. At the same time, Xu Mo and Fang Ze did the same and returned fire.
Gunshots sounded out consecutively. Xu Mo killed two people while Fang Ze killed one.
Fang Ze, who was on the opposite side, cast a look at Xu Mo in surprise. He was a dual gun-wielder and had been practicing shooting with Sister Die for a very long time. Hence, he had achieved great mastery. But how long had it only been since Xu Mo started learning? To think that his shooting was so accurate.
Cobra and the silver-masked guy were entangled in a fight, and the collision between the blade and sword kept on producing sharp sounds. Their actions were very fast; every move was out to kill. It was extremely dangerous.
Xu Mo could tell that the silver-masked guy was very strong. He was an existence that could take on Cobra single-handedly.
At this moment, Gunshots rang out from a distance. A firefight had taken place where Ye Qingdie was at. With that, Ye Qingdie would be unable to help with the situation here.
Another figure walked out from the back. It was a person wearing steel armor and carrying a long scythe, looking like a grim reaper. He wore a metallic mask on his face, revealing only his eyes. He then ran in the direction of Cobra's fight and slashed his grim reaper scythe out with extremely fast speed.
The silver-masked man was pushed back.
At this moment, a small and skinny figure dashed out. It was Little Qi. His speed was also exceptionally fast. Now, Xu Mo realized that Little Qi was also a modified human. His hands turned into sharp blades, slashing out toward the man holding the scythe.
"I'll go help too. Xu Mo, I'll leave the shooters to you," Seth spoke out and dashed into the battlefield. Although his body was wrapped up by armor, it would still be affected when hit by bullets. Moreover, their eyes were still exposed.
Right at this moment, a person holding a submachine gun appeared upstairs, firing shots endlessly at Little Qi. Little Qi covered his face with both arms, his body dodging constantly. However, his body was still hit and was pushed back from the impact. It was then that Xu Mo realized that even Little Qi's body was modified with mechanical parts.
After that, Xu Mo put away his gun and a set of metal poker cards appeared in his hand. When he walked out, a poker card went flying forth. Seeing this, the figure holding the submachine gun shrank his head back, but the poker card flew in an arch, flying straight in and slitting his throat.
His eyes were wide open, not understanding what had just happened.
"You'll take charge of my side and I'll take charge of your side." Xu Mo shrank his body back and said to Fang Ze, who was on the other side. He then swapped back to using guns. Although he couldn't control the bullets' trajectory, their speed was faster.
"Alright." Fang Ze nodded. The two of them headed out concurrently, shooting at the people who popped out their heads. In the direction where Xu Mo was firing, many figures fell from being shot, and some even plunged down. Fang Ze was a little astonished. What kind of shooting technique was that?
Xu Mo seemed to have predicted their actions and instantly dealt headshots the moment they appeared.
At this moment, Little Qi's body was like a spring as he leaped up, and he ran on the wall like a lizard. His arms turned into sharp blades, and he killed the people hiding on the other side of the windows.
Under the trio's cooperation, the people hiding in the dark kept on being cleared. Xu Mo's perception then reached inside the building. He detected a few more people who hadn't popped their heads out.
"Fang Ze, Little Qi, the two of you go and help! I'll keep an eye on the top," instructed Xu Mo.
"Alright." The two of them nodded. They had thought that Xu Mo might be lacking but hadn't expected him to show such great teamwork with them on his first mission.
If it wasn't for Xu Mo, there'd probably be a lot of trouble.
Another enemy stretched his head out, wanting to shoot. However, his head had just appeared a little when Xu Mo fired a shot. He had predicted the other party's action, and the bullet blasted into the person's eyes, causing that person to let out an extremely agonizing cry.
Under his mask, Moke had a grim countenance. Many of these people were from the law enforcement team that he had brought here. This time around, they could be said to have suffered great losses.
It'd probably be impossible for them to complete the mission set by Secretary Jin with just them alone.
Seth and Little Qi were attacking him fiercely, and there was another shooter threatening him from the back. He was caught in a dangerous predicament. They were planning to deal with Cobra together after they killed him. Now, with no one interfering, the silver-masked man was going head-on against Cobra.
Other than the fights that were taking place here, Strand Street was especially quiet. In the far distance, a figure walked over here, and the sound of his footsteps could be heard on the quiet streets.
He had a complete set of red battle armor on him that was a perfect match with his figure. Even the helmet was part of the set, as though it was custom-made for him. The helmet was gold at the front part, resembling a gold-colored mask, and the eyes under the mask revealed an ice-cold gleam, not showing any emotions at all.
Upon seeing the other party coming over, Xu Mo felt a dangerous vibe.
This person was very dangerous!
