Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Fire Arrow Cannon, Launch!

Because many streets were covered by collapsed buildings and thick snow on top, walking on these streets was like navigating a hilly slope, inclining up and down with drop offs as steep as several meters.

The edge areas of the city district didn’t have Brother Jun’s army or sentries, Huang Wen’s Flying People Team extended their surveillance far, directly positioning people to guard the Kongming Bridge, and on the Nine-tails City side, dozens of soldiers transferred from Star City were stationed early.

The people from Star City, having a slightly lower Genetic Evolution Level, mainly undertook logistical and alert duties during this fight, saving Yang Xiao a significant amount of manpower.

May 1st Avenue is the main thoroughfare in Nanmu City, the Genetic Store’s outpost is located on the Century Commercial Square beside May 1st Avenue, so Yang Xiao and the others concentrated their efforts on advancing along May 1st Avenue.

Everyone was very cautious, progressing slowly. Huang Wen led the Giant Eagle and Flying People battling in the air, with a broad view.

”How strange, why don’t we see anyone in the city?”

”What’s so strange about that? On such a cold day, would you be playing in the snow for no reason?”

”Besides, Brother Jun might not know we are attacking him today, right? Maybe not enough time to prepare.”

”I guess so?”

”Better to be careful, definitely don’t want to walk into an ambush.”

...

Yang Xiao and Xia Luo continued advancing with their group until they were about 3 kilometers away from the Century Commercial Square, where they could see the 28-story Century Commercial Building.

...

Brother Jun has always controlled the main city district, there was no threat inside the main city, so the usual guard detail wasn’t very strict. Even if Brother Jun knew about Genetic Evolution being promoted at Xianan University and Kongming Academy the day before yesterday, he didn’t anticipate Yang Xiao’s attack on the city on the third day.

The routine patrol duty of the Flying People Team involves taking off every hour to fly a circumference of 2-3 kilometers.

Now it was time for the Flying People Team to take off for their patrol. Ten people with Bird Beast Souls ascended into the sky, and as soon as they took off, they spotted dense hundreds of black dots flying towards them. Upon closer inspection, these were indeed hundreds of flying people.

Moreover, they also noticed a large group quickly moving on the ground from a distance.

As the ground was covered in white snow, Yang Xiao and his people walking on the white snow were particularly easy to spot and very conspicuous.

”Not good, someone is invading the city, a large number, you guys continue to monitor, I’ll go report to Brother Jun.”

A bird-person spread its wings and swiftly flew downwards, quickly landing in front of the Century Commercial Building, transformed back into human form, and rushed inside the building.

Brother Jun, Zhou Hua, were planning with his men where to set up defenses, where to lay traps, how to fend off Yang Xiao and his men’s attacks, and how to lure the enemy into the subway tunnel and then annihilate them one by one.

While everyone was heatedly discussing, a panicked shout was heard outside:

”Not good, someone is invading the city, not good, someone is invading the city...”

Bang!

The person pushed open the door forcefully and shouted at Brother Jun and others:

”Jun, Brother Jun, not good, someone has invaded.”

Brother Jun and the others were suddenly alarmed, and they all cried out:

”What’s the situation? Where are the people? How many?”

”We just took off for patrol and saw 2-3 kilometers away, the sky full of flying birds and the ground packed with people.”

Buzz!

The room was abuzz, everyone’s mind exploded for a few seconds, and though they sensed that Yang Xiao and his men might attack the city, they hadn’t expected them to actually come so urgently, catching them unprepared.

”Brother Jun, what should we do?”

Everyone was panicked.

Xie Jun remained silent for a few seconds, his face gloomy. He silently sighed, walked to the window, opened it, and a rush of cold air instantly filled the room, making him shiver. He forced himself to calm down.

Xie Jun turned back and looked at the girl who had brought the news,

”Xiao Li, go and notify all members of the Flying People Team to come out from the subway station, get ready to ambush the enemy.”

”Yes.”

Xiao Li turned and ran out of the room, heading to the underground platform on the basement level of the building.

”Zhou Qiang, you and the others gather everyone at the square, we will intercept Yang Xiao and his team upfront. I want them to suffer heavy losses as soon as they arrive, and let them know that I, Xie Jun, am not to be trifled with.”

”Okay, Brother Jun, we will definitely strike hard at their arrogance.”

Zhou Qiang and the others hurriedly left.

Xie Jun took a submachine gun from the wall, slung it over his back, and picked up a shoulder-fired rocket launcher, carrying a box of rocket shells, and walked out of the room.

Moments later, about a thousand elite soldiers assembled in the sky above Century Commercial Square.

”Brothers, there’s nothing much to say. The enemy has already invaded our district. They are now less than 2 kilometers from here. About 50 meters ahead, where the Baifu Building used to be before it collapsed, there’s a huge mound of earth across 51st Avenue. Everyone, immediately follow me there and assemble under that snow pit. Archers and teams of Elemental Mages, quietly climb up the snow slope, be cautious, and wait for my command to attack fiercely. From now on, everyone be stealthy, maintain silence, and let’s move out immediately.”

After speaking, Xie Jun led over a thousand people quickly running towards the front and rapidly dropped down the slope of the snow to avoid being spotted by the enemy’s aerial reconnaissance birds.

The distance of 50 meters was covered in seconds, everyone quietly climbed up the snow slope about ten meters high in front of them.

Xie Jun found a prominent mound of snow as cover and quietly poked his head out, seeing Yang Xiao and his team cautiously moving forward two kilometers away.

However, to his disappointment, there were more than two hundred members of the Flying People Team in the sky, flying about 100 meters ahead of Yang Xiao and his team, scouting ahead for them.

He could see Yang Xiao and his team walking on the distant snowfield, and Yang Xiao’s Flying People Team flying a few hundred meters forward could also spot him hiding under the snow slope.

The shooting range of the archers was mostly around 70 to 100 meters, and the Elemental Mages had an even shorter range of 30 to 50 meters. Such ranges obviously couldn’t facilitate a long-distance ambush.

It was clearly impossible to ambush all of Yang Xiao’s people.

What to do?

The original plan was to scout Yang Xiao’s team in advance and then ambush them from inside a building nearby that hadn’t completely collapsed, but now time was obviously running out.

This damn Yang Xiao, came in too hastily, even just one more day would have been enough.

Xie Jun calmed himself down and thought, his rocket launcher could attack the other side before their reconnaissance birds spotted him.

Regrettably, he only had thirteen rockets left. If there were a hundred, it would have been great to eliminate most of the enemy’s troops.

Opportunity slipped away in an instant, and as Xie Jun hesitated, Yang Xiao’s Flying People Team advanced another few dozen meters.

Xie Jun gritted his teeth, signaled Zhou Qiang, and decided to first strike with the rocket launcher, hit as many as possible, or at least intimidate them.

It was too far to see clearly which one in the crowd was Yang Xiao; he could only roughly identify a few people walking at the front.

Xie Jun and Zhou Hua both aimed at Yang Xiao and his people several hundred meters away.

”Yang Xiao, go to hell!”

Xie Jun pulled the trigger of the rocket launcher.

A ”boom” was heard as a streak of fire tore through the sky, targeting Yang Xiao and his group in the distance.
