Chapter 59: Escalating Chaos

Chapter 59: Escalating Chaos

A few seconds later.

Another shell came through the air and hit near him.

This time he was not so lucky. The massive fire melted his thermal suit and burned through his muscles and bones.

Eventually it became an unrecognizable corpse.

High in the sky, a reconnaissance drone hovers silently.

Quietly record everything that happens on the ground.

This was a short battle.

It took 40 seconds from the time the AI ​​launched its attack, during which a total of four 120mm thermite shells were fired.

The result was that all 12 targets were killed.

The firearms they carried did not fire a single bullet until the last second before they died.

After half an hour.

Su Wu returned to the control center and found out the identity of this group of people from the construction robot that was cleaning the battlefield.

A group of mercenaries that had just been formed.

The identities of the members are varied, most of them are security guards and criminals before the end of the world. They are a group of gangsters with rich experience in fighting but lack real military qualities.

"Entertain them with 120mm howitzers."

"Isn't that a bit much?"

Su Wu couldn't help but reflect a little.

Of course, if he encounters the same situation next time, he will do the same thing. If something can be solved with a cannonball, there is no need for the construction robots to take risks with small hoses like guns.

Moreover, heavy artillery fire can also better establish authority.

"It's a pity that we haven't found any clues about who is behind this."

"Who is the one?"

Su Wu did not intend to let the matter rest.

How can I beat him and get away with it? I must find him and give him a heavy revenge.

As for how to find him, just start from the person who asked for his address in the chat channel and slowly check. As long as you are willing to offer a reward, you will be able to find the other party sooner or later.

Select a few photos from the battlefield taken by reconnaissance drones.

Su Wu sent them to the official chat channel.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to send the video, but the official channel restricts the sending of videos.

Official satellite network.

Resources are limited and can only guarantee the most basic communications.

But even if it's just a photo, the scene created by the massive thermite explosion is extremely shocking.

"A gang of armed men invaded my shelter."

"At present, they have all been eliminated."

“The relevant evidence will be handed over to the official police station after being sorted out.”

A few simple explanations for these photos.

Su Wu no longer paid attention to the buzzing chat channel, and instead contacted the official representative in the channel, the rich second-generation female officer, Ye Luoshuanghua, with whom he had dealt before.

“How do officials handle this kind of thing now?”

Su Wu asked.

"Just solve it yourself."

"No need to report it."

Ye Luoshuanghua’s reply was very quick, and the content was so straightforward that it surprised Su Wu.

"It's so loose, why don't you investigate it?"

"What's there to investigate? It's nothing more than some armed gangs secretly supported by the shelters."

"This isn't the first time they've done this."

Between the lines of Ye Luo Shuang Hua's words, there was a sense of habit and helplessness. "The meaning of the higher-ups now is to go all out to deal with the more severe extreme environment in the future. As long as there is no fighting in the city, or there is no big commotion outside the city, and there are too many casualties, the matters between the other shelters on the ground will be put on hold for the time being."

"And speaking of this."

"If you want to talk about excessiveness, you are the one who is the most excessive."

"They've already built heavy artillery. Are you planning to fight a war with the military in the future?"

Ye Luoshuanghua did not mean to question anything in his words, he was just a little surprised at Su Wu's manufacturing ability.

Other shelters, even if they were doing bad things, would only make some pistols and rifles, and at most some explosives for breaking down doors.

When it came to Su Wu, he used heavy artillery directly.

They also use thermite, which has extremely strong lethality and armor-piercing effects.

To be honest, this configuration can be used to some effect against military armored forces. But to attack those civilian armed groups is simply like adults bullying children.

"It's just self-protection. You can't let me fight them face to face with a gun."

Seeing that Ye Luoshuanghua had no intention of pursuing the matter, Su Wu's tone became more casual. He began to have the leisure to test the official attitude.

"In that case, it should be no problem for me to take revenge on those shelters."

"Don't make too much noise."

"Like moving your heavy artillery to the entrance of someone's shelter."

"As long as the rest are not exposed, there won't be a big problem."

Ye Luoshuanghua revealed the official bottom line, and at the end, couldn't help but add a few more words.

"If you attack a shelter with more than a hundred people, remember to keep the evidence of the other party's crime."

"Otherwise, the military might regard you as a typical example of rioting and crack down on you."

"Also, please be careful in the official channel and don't say anything you shouldn't. Otherwise, it will embarrass your superiors and they will have to deal with it strictly and quickly."

"I understand. I will think carefully before taking any action."

Su Wu was silent for a while, then typed out the last sentence, ending the conversation.

He switched to the chat channel and looked at the people there, who were still discussing the photos he had sent.

With an ignorant and fearless look, he couldn't help but sigh.

Many people here, even the wealthy and corporate leaders.

In some ways, they are the elite of humanity.

However, we are limited by past mindsets and limited information channels.

I'm afraid they are all still immersed in a false peace.

Perhaps it will only happen to you personally, or maybe one day in the future it will no longer be concealed.

Only then will one suddenly realize the cruel side of the end of the world, which comes so quickly, so fast that it does not even give people any time to react.

"It was just 70-plus degree temperatures and a storm."

"Is it really that confusing?"

After a moment of melancholy for the passing of order.

Su Wu regained his spirits.

He thought of the fleet of vehicles currently picking up garbage in the city and began to seriously consider whether he should strengthen their armed forces.

Although Ye Luoshuanghua said that violence was prohibited in the urban area, it was still questionable how much truth there was in that.

Judging from their behavior, as long as it is not exposed, it can be treated as non-existent.

"Add a folding shooting platform to each of the two special transport vehicles."

"Then, we will add a construction robot that is responsible for guarding and fighting, and a K2 series agricultural drone to the large truck."

"Well, why not weld a 30mm rapid-fire cannon on the roof of the carriage?"

For Su Wu, who now has CNC machine tools and 3D printers, some automatic weapons and turrets, plus a drone that can launch rockets.

None of them are too important.
