Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Ambush

The downhill road was a wide asphalt highway, which allowed cars to directly ascend the mountain before the end times.

Yang Xiao led Chen Fei, Long Yongjun, and others in a frantic sprint.

The group Yang Xiao was leading were all at the Primordial Gene Primary Stage, with their Agility Attribute having surpassed 10, which meant they could move and run much faster relatively.

The group ran down the mountain like a gust of wind.

...

Deng Xiao flew to her cousin Xia Luo and landed.

”Deng Xiao, why have you come?”

Xia Luo was taken aback.

Deng Xiao said:

”Cousin, Yang Xiao has received your message. He’s currently rushing down from the mountain. He told me to inform you to lead everyone to set an ambush in the valley pass between Nine-tails City and Xianan University, and launch an attack on the enemy. He also said not to show mercy.”

Xianan University is nestled on three sides of Biyun Mountain, and the main passageway is a valley that connects to Nine-tails City. Additionally, the school is close to Star River, with a small path leading directly to the riverbank.

Such terrain features were usually overlooked, but Yang Xiao happened to notice the geographical situation halfway up Biyun Mountain, so he proposed the idea of setting up an ambush at the valley mouth to Xia Luo.

Having lived at Xianan University for three years, Xia Luo was very familiar with every bit of grass and tree around, and Yang Xiao’s words immediately enlightened him.

”Zhou Qiang, you and I will each take around 400 people to the valley entrance between Nine-tails City and Xianan University, set up ambushes on both sides, and strike hard at the invading enemies in the city area.”

Zhou Qiang nodded, and together with Xia Luo, each led about 400 people to the only valley passageway of Xianan University. When the two groups reached the valley entrance, Xie Jun and his people had just entered Nine-tails City.

Xie Jun had brought more than a thousand people this time and also brought with him the heavy weapons from the armory—a heavy machine gun.

This machine gun was the Armed Department of Nanmu City’s only one, and its mere presence could scare lots of people.

Xie Jun was currently facing an issue—the bullets were depleting too quickly. The Armed Department’s ammunition was very limited, usually only used for training.

Recently, Xie Jun and others formed several firearm squads, leading people to hunt mutated rats and other Mutated Creatures, consuming most of the bullets.

Xie Jun also knew that with each bullet fired, they got one less, and without a new munitions factory to supply bullets, these firearms were almost as good as scrap metal.

Eventually, they would still have to rely on the power of Beast Souls and Genetic Evolution to rule the world.

Walking with Xie Jun were Du Tian, Feng Lei, and Zhou Hua.

The group soon entered the connecting passage between Nine-tails City and Xianan University, the valley mouth.

Due to a soldier’s intuition, Xie Jun shouted ”Stop!”

A troop of over a thousand people halted at the entrance of the valley.

”Brother Jun, what’s wrong?”

Du Tian looked at Xie Jun with a puzzled expression, and so did Feng Lei and Zhou Hua.

Xie Jun pointed at the entrance of the valley and said:

”If their people are lying in ambush on both sides of the valley entrance and launch a sudden attack on us, what do we do?”

”That’s impossible, right? These school kids, could they come up with such a strategy?”

Feng Lei said.

Du Tian, eager for revenge, said:

”Brother Jun, with so many of us, our strength can definitely crush through. Just push straight through; what can his ambush do?”

Xie Jun glanced at the valley entrance ahead and said indifferently:

”Du Tian, you lead 200 men to scout ahead.”

”Okay, Brother Jun, watch closely.”

Du Tian beckoned, and a hundred shield-bearers along with a hundred Close Combat Beast Souls followed him towards the valley.

Watching Du Tian’s departing figure, Feng Lei said:

”Brother Jun, should we follow him?”

Xie Jun waved his hand and said,

”No rush, let’s wait until he safely gets through this narrow pass. This place is easy to defend and hard to attack, precautions are necessary.”

Du Tian led a team of two hundred people, walking at the very front. He was so eager for revenge that he truly wanted to crush Xia Luo beneath his feet at this very moment.

”Brothers, let’s go! Flatten Xianan University; tonight, everyone will have a girl to accompany them, making you all happy.”

The brothers below shouted loudly:

”Does Brother Tian mean it?”

”For sure.”

”Great, brothers, follow Brother Tian and charge inside!”

In an instant, the crowd surged with overwhelming momentum.

Du Tian wasn’t the slightest bit worried about an ambush here. In his eyes, Xia Luo and the others, even if temporarily clever, couldn’t possibly have such grand strategic tactics.

He himself also favored resolving all grudges with direct confrontations.

Xia Luo and Zhou Qiang hid with their men in the snow ditches on both sides of the road.

Upon hearing the shouts of Du Tian and the footsteps of his team behind him, Xia Luo suddenly stood up from the snow ditch and shouted loudly,

”Attack!”

Suddenly, archers and Elemental Mages on both sides opened fire, a barrage of Feathered Arrows, Fireballs, Ice Balls, Electric Arcs, and Wind Blades bloomed amongst Du Tian’s team.

Not far away, more than a hundred Bird Beast Soul users soared into the sky and fiercely shot at Du Tian and his men.

Du Tian’s first reaction was to activate his Light Shield to protect himself and cursed,

”Damn it, there really was an ambush!”

Led by Xia Luo, around eight hundred Elite Soldiers launched a decisive attack against Du Tian’s two hundred men. With Xia Luo’s side having ten individuals at the Primordial Gene Primary Stage, they quickly achieved an overwhelming victory.

Outnumbered, Du Tian and his men were instantaneously disoriented by the attack and, with no other choice, had to retreat to the outskirts of the valley.

At this moment, Xie Jun took a pair of military binoculars to observe the situation on the battlefield. His expression turned gloomy – these student kids were actually pretty good, even capable of using strategy?

”Brother Jun, let’s make our move. If we don’t, Du Tian won’t be able to hold on any longer,” said Feng Lei.

Xie Jun put down the binoculars, clenched his teeth, and took the lead with a submachine gun in hand.

”Brothers, charge!”

Xie Jun, leading by example, greatly inspired the morale of his men, with Feng Lei and Zhou Hua quickly following suit.

Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Xia Luo immediately leaped out of the snow ditch,

”Brothers and sisters, defend Xianan, defend our honor, attack!”

Both sides engaged in a fierce battle at the narrow valley entrance.

When the fight initially broke out, Xie Jun and his men had the advantage with their firearms, but once the melee brawl ensued, the power of firearms became less effective than Soul Skills, which were direct and exhilarating.

Xie Jun simply discarded the submachine gun and, wielding a Golden Longsword, charged into the crowd. Both sides suffered casualties as the valley entrance filled with the shouts of battle while Elemental Magic Balls exploded continuously within the crowds.

In the sky, Xianan University’s avian warriors and the city’s avian warriors commenced aerial combat. Unfortunately, the city’s avian warriors numbered 300, greatly outnumbering Xianan University’s hundred or so, and the avian warriors soon fell into a defensive state.

Xie Jun had nearly forty individuals who had reached the Primordial Gene Primary Stage, while Xia Luo only had ten.

Top-notch warriors often decided the direction of the battle.

As time passed, Xia Luo and his group began to falter and started retreating towards the university interior.
