Resurrection Empire-Chapter 986 - 379: Chain Strategy

At this moment, the situation inside the gaming arena was once again shifting dramatically.

The leader of the Hunting Team from the second base was retreating with over three hundred people towards their walls, only to be ambushed midway.

Earlier, after capturing the first base, Hu Yang left only a few dozen people to defend it and stealthily sent over four hundred men, splitting them into two groups.

One of these groups, numbering 120 people, was the Heavy Artillery Camp.

The other group, with 310 men, traveled light and discreetly took a large detour from the rear, setting up ambush along the return route of the second base's Hunting Team, placing numerous remote-controlled traps along the way, and hiding in the dense forest.

As the enemy troops marched by, this raiding force first detonated the traps before launching a fierce assault.

Although both sides had equal numbers, one was prepared while the other was not, and the traps had already heavily damaged the opponents, so the level of elite warfare was not on the same scale.

The Hunting Team from the second base collapsed in a mere three minutes and scattered in retreat. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Hu Yang's strategy was witnessed by players and spectators, but as they couldn't communicate at the time, they could only watch helplessly.

Meanwhile, upon receiving news of the attack, the Hunting Teams from the third and fourth bases didn't intend to send reinforcements; instead, they immediately changed direction, quickly selecting nearly two hundred elite soldiers to powerfully charge towards the first base.

The one who made this decision was Tang Xiangyun's representative.

At this moment, he had only one thought; Hu Yang was terrifying, and continuing like this, they would surely face a total defeat.

This ambush appeared successful, but in fact, it left her defenses thin and exposed herself to danger.

Now was the perfect time to strike back—if they could kill her within the first base, it would ensure victory. The opportunity must not be missed.

In the spectator area, countless people watched and sighed in regret.

Tang Xiangyun was furious but could only express his helplessness.

In this small arena, over two hundred well-equipped elite Hunting Team members advanced rapidly, and within minutes, they arrived outside the first base's walls.

On the walls, only scattered gunfire could be heard, with a few measly bullets flying by.

Such weak firepower stood no chance of stopping the two hundred elite Hunting Team members, who were desperate to survive.

Within thirty seconds, the two hundred elite had charged in despite the sparse defensive fire from the walls.

Seeing the dozens of figures frantically trying to escape from the other side of the wall, the leading representative of Tang Xiangyun felt a dark happiness, thinking that surely Hu Yang could not escape this time.

But in the next moment, he was warned, feeling something was amiss.

It turned out he finally saw what those "defenders" blocking him really were.

The "defenders" weren't people at all, but humanoid broken armors, immobilized except for the guns on their Arm Armors, which could still fire.

From a distance, they indeed looked like people, but they were just abandoned combat machines remotely controlled by Hu Yang.

As for those "people" escaping in the distance, they seemed off as well; their movements were very stiff, yet perfectly synchronized.

The representative immediately activated a high-powered scanner he had seized from someone else, to observe the true nature of those "people."

This device alone was worth four thousand Source Star Coins; its original owner had been fully exploited due to weak combat ability.

The scanner modeled and then imaged, revealing that those "people" were nothing more than mannequins, covered in clothing with a few simple transmission devices.

The trap was so obvious that he couldn't fail to understand it.

"We've been tricked!"

He howled in his heart, turned sharply, not even sparing a thought to order others to retreat, planning only to withdraw himself.

Unfortunately, before his power engine could activate, he heard a loud explosion behind him followed by a surge of heat wave like a flood, engulfing him and the other Hunters around him.

With a massive mushroom cloud rising into the sky, the violent shockwaves even reached the spectators' area, causing the holographic monitoring to have information disruption, breaking the real-time feed.

Only about several seconds later, after the emergency backup cameras deployed by the club management flew back over the first base, did the feed restore.

By this time, the walls of the first base were in ruins, and a massive crater nearly fifty meters in diameter had formed on the ground.

The center of the crater was empty, and molten lava was churning.

The edges of the soil had also melted into lava.
