Free Web NovelChapter 474: Chapter 316: Future Allies
Above the street block where the Wolf Assault headquarters is located, the Edge Mercenary Corps’ floating airship hovers steadily.
Not long ago, the Edge’s intelligence department received a message from Shangguan Li, saying that Su Mo was kidnapped by the Wolf Assault, and they immediately summoned the Edge elite to come.
Heavily armed Edge Mercenaries continuously descended rapidly, forming tactical squads upon landing, quickly occupying advantageous positions on the battlefield.
Meanwhile, the Wolf Assault’s response was swift too, and thugs started appearing nearby, wielding weapons and surrounding the Edge Mercenaries Corps.
The two sides faced each other across the battlefield, cold glares exchanged, and the air was thick with the scent of gunpowder, with conflict ready to erupt at any moment.
Dongdong was the first to land, walking at the front with a baseball bat, facing the hordes of Wolf Assault thugs without any hesitation.
The leading Wolf Assault thug approached Dongdong, confronting her, "What do you want?"
Dongdong coldly asked, "What do you think? Where’s my boss?!"
Wolf Assault thug: "Isn’t your head on your shoulders?"
Dongdong pointed her baseball bat at his nose, cursing wildly, "Screw you! You dumbass, full of humor! I’m asking where’s our director?!"
The Wolf Assault thug lit a cigarette, tauntingly saying, "You mean that Su guy? Our big sister locked him in the dark room, probably getting his ass kicked."
With Dongdong’s fiery temper, she didn’t care if they were mocking or serious, her blood pressure shot up instantly, "I’m gonna blow you guys up!"
"Boom—" as the explosive energy core roared, dazzling optical paths sparkled on Dongdong’s body, the overwhelming pressure sweeping like a tsunami, her eyes lit up with iconic bright blue arcs.
This girl didn’t hesitate to explode into second gear overload, frightening the Wolf Assault thug who quickly retreated, "You little pink-haired girl, can’t even take a joke?"
Dongdong cursed, "I’m joking with your dad! Are you gonna release him or I’ll break through you!"
Just as the situation between the two sides became tense, a charming laugh was heard, "Isn’t this the Second-in-Command of the Edge, no wonder they call you the big shot who single-handedly overwhelms the Seven-Star leader, truly brave."
When they saw the tall figure walking from behind, the Wolf Assault thugs finally felt at ease.
Fenrir slowly came to the front of Wolf Assault’s crowd, the wind brushing the wolf mane on her leather jacket, silently sweeping her dark purple eyes over everyone present. freeweɓnøvel.com
Dongdong, Nuobai, Chu Nanyi, and even Shangguan Li who wasn’t part of the Edge Mercenary Corps came to rescue Su Mo.
Fenrir narrowed her eyes subtly, saying meaningfully, "You indeed have a great group of partners, Director Su."
Su Mo was standing beside Fenrir at the moment, looking at his unhesitant friends, his eyes filled with happiness.
Su Mo smiled, gently patting Fenrir’s shoulder, "Actually, you have some too, just haven’t noticed before."
Fenrir didn’t say anything, just nodded her chin forward, signaling Su Mo he could go now.
Su Mo returned to his Edge companions, Dongdong leading the way to welcome him, "Boss, they didn’t hurt you, did they?"
Su Mo patted her head for comfort and said to everyone, "Let’s go, we’ll talk later."
...
Fenrir pierced through the rusted wall again this time, compared to last time, without causing any waves, everything as usual.
But beneath the calm surface, undercurrents had already started surging up.
After facing the Death Scythe Mercenary Corps, another force from the Inner City silently intervened in the border conflict.
In the Edge Mercenary Corps’ underground laboratory, under Su Mo’s direction, the production line was already fully activated.
Military drones’ assembly platforms had automatic robotic arms moving flexibly, performing precision welding, cutting, and assembly of raw materials.
The intelligent sensing system was monitoring each step, displaying production parameters and operating status on screens, with professional engineers via control panels ensuring the precision and efficiency of the production process.
Military drones, anti-jamming communicators, battlefield scouting equipment, and individual electronic warfare units...various high-tech equipment for information warfare were assembled on the production line.
These devices using mainstream models as templates, were specially improved upon by Edge Engineer Chief Future, optimizing the manufacturing process to greatly reduce costs and enhance performance.
Driverless transport robots roamed between production lines, categorizing and packing these finished devices, with alternating red and green indicator lights on the conveyor belt resembling a mechanical heartbeat.
Su Mo was currently in the production workshop, looking at the spectacular production line. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
He asked Future, "If these devices get captured by a third party, they shouldn’t be able to trace back to us, right?"
Future shook her head decisively, "No, the raw materials used are commonly circulated components, inherently having a high liquidity, plus we’ve done off-site purchasing, eliminating any possibility of tracking."
"The production techniques are the same, I’ve completely mimicked mainstream methods used by hundreds and thousands of military enterprises worldwide, if the Death Scythe could trace it back to us, I’ll eat this mechanical bed right here."
Though it sounded like a flag, Su Mo never doubted Future’s technology, "That’s good."
Future hesitated for a moment, seemingly having some concerns, finally asking, "Boss, I just don’t quite understand why we’re helping the Wolf Assault?"
Su Mo glanced at her, "What, you don’t like the Wolf Assault?"
Future muttered, "It’s not about liking or disliking. If this batch is to be sold to them, that’s one thing...but we’re giving it away for free."
"It’s equivalent to taking a side in this conflict, and I can’t see any benefit for the Edge."
Su Mo laughed softly, "Future, let me ask you, who do you think are the enemies of the Wolf Assault?"
Future answered without hesitation, "Crow’s Nest, Ashen Gang, and now the opposing Death Scythe Mercenary Corps."
Su Mo shook his head, speaking with subtle insight, "Yes, and no, the three you mentioned are just surface enemies, they actually represent higher wills."
Future remained silent for a moment, tentatively asking, "You mean, Hegemony Company, Iron Blood Alliance, and Black Domain Group?"
Su Mo said profoundly, "Anyone, any faction, once they reach a certain level of development, they are bound to enter the sights of the three giant enterprises. Either they’ll obediently become dogs or be wiped out, such is the way it’s always been."
"The Wolf Assault is no exception; they’ve grown large on the border without serving the interests of the giant enterprises, and that’s why they are facing recent troubles."
"I’m helping the Wolf Assault not for immediate benefits, but looking towards the future."
"When the Edge rises to a higher position, one day we will also face those three colossal behemoths."
"At that time, I hope we’re not fighting alone, but have solid allies."
